  1. There is lots of money about for people willing to work. Building a skill set is the only real way of making good money and not having to do a lot of hours. Dumpster diving is a good idea for making a bit of cash, you will be shocked what you will find, fix it up and sell it on ebay.

    That or join the armed forces, there are always jobs and depending on what kind of scores you get on your entrance exam, you can find a lot of training opportunities right of the bat that will give you a very solid future when you come out.

  2. I own all three versions of the card and there not bad but sensitivity is not great when compared to some cheap Linksys WUSB54G (the version with a Atheros chipset) which on testing picks up 15-20% more AP's when using the same antenna setups.

    The main plus that 1Watt gives you is if you run the card in AP/master mode

  3. Well i have an ALFA so using the built-in card isnt really gonna matter much anyways.

    How are you powering it? The n810 shows the card via lsusb if you enable host USB support but it does not work unless you split the power off from the card and use an extra power source like a USB battery pack.

  4. The ZipIt has a Marvel 88w8686 wireless chipset (ub8xxx (Libertas) - Marvell 88w8385, 88w8386, 88w8686 devices (libertas)). Aircrack-ng says it supports it but I don't know if it does packet injection. I can say that the Iphone and/or Itouch have the same chipset and it can use aircrack-ng to crack IVS. I'm going to get one and at least put a few good items on it (NMAP, macchanger, aircrack-ng).

    lol, good luck with that. The device is limited with what you can do from an hardware standpoint and you will hit a lot of brick walls. You will have more luck with writing apps from scratch for it, to suit the hardware.

  5. The last episode got me thinking about adding a Handheld pen testing device to my aresenal. I did a lot of research on that Zipit and found that the likelihood of getting injection working on it is pretty slim. So my question is, do any of you know of a good handheld device that can support injection and monitor mode?

    Thanks

    The Zipit is very low powered, not saying you can't use it for some cool things but I've never used one for much more than a serial terminal via minicom and for some IRC stuff. I have and like my n810, but support is something that is fairly shit and hardly anyone puts stuff out for it. You need to learn to cross compile if you want to add a lot of stuff.

    Photo's exist on the internet of some of the shit on mine but I don't see the point of linking it on here. Anyway Kismet, Spectools, Aircrack/aircrack-ptw, Ettercap, metasploit, dsniff, btscanner, hping, minicom, nmap, p0f and I could go on, all work fine. I've got packet injection working but that involved some work and its not perfect at the moment.

  6. Just buy a Cisco RV042 4-Port load balancer, it will let you do a full back connection or you can use both internet ports at the same time, and let the router balance your requirements between them for maximum bandwidth efficiency. The power regiments tend to be less than running a server to do the job, its less hassle to do and there only like £80 new or I've seen them for £40 on a refurbished units.

  7. HD Moore also joined Rapid7 and said the program will stay open source, just that now they will have a team for regular updates and quality assurance. I wouldn't expect much to change community wise other than better support and more frequent updates.

    I'd put money on it going the way Nessus has with a "ProfessionalFeed Subscription" for the latest exploits.

  8. I'm working on getting my upgrade to General right now, once the test time rolls around I'll have it. Was playing around with a free program called PocketDigi. It'll decode PSK, CW, MFSK31, RTTY using the microphone as input. I found a Youtube Video of a guy demoing another program that does something similar and I held my PDA up to computer speaker and was able to decode most of the PSK in the background. Pretty Cool.

    Warning if you click past the first page there are NSFW images!!!!!

    As for APRS enabled handhelds word is Kenwood is releasing a new one in 2010 (most likely as Dayton Hamfest if not before). It's supposedly going to be a two-way APRS not just a tracker.

    You should check out Fldigi, its open source and quite good.

    Supports the following digital modes:

    CW

    DominoEX 4 DominoEX 5 DominoEX 8 DominoEX 11 DominoEX 16 DominoEX 22

    Feld-Hell Slow-Hell Feld-Hell-X5 Feld-Hell-X9 FSK-Hell FSK-Hell 105 Hell-80

    MFSK-4 MFSK-8 MFSK-16* MFSK-22* MFSK-31* MFSK-32* MFSK-64*

    MT-63 / 500 MT-63 / 1000 MT-63 / 2000

    PSK-31 QPSK-31 PSK-63 QPSK-63 PSK-125 QPSK-125 PSK-250 QPSK-250

    OLIVIA various tones and bandwidths

    RTTY various Baud Rates, Shifts, Nbr of data bits, etc.

    Thor-4 Thor-5 Thor-8 Thor-11 Thor-16 Thor-22

    Throb-1 Throb-2 Throb-4 ThrobX-1 ThrobX-2 ThrobX-4

    WWV Receive only - calibrate your sound card to WWV

    Freq Analysis Receive only - be ready for the (next) ARRL FMT (freq meas test).

  9. Amazon is fine for a lot of things, they even sell those 500mW Alfa USB cards and 600mW internal cards, although sensitivity on the Alfa cards is shit. Ebay is also good, although I tend to only use it for parts.

  10. I liked this show, well done. I got my licence a few years back, you should really check out some of the digital modes and maybe stuff like bouncing signals of satellites, bouncing a signal of the ionosphere or even bouncing a data signal off the surface of the Moon. You could also check out, contacting the international space station, radio BBS and the many, many other interesting things you can do in amateur radio.

    If you want an interesting "hacker" style project you can use a TI-83 calculator as a serial terminal and then use that with a TNC and radio to contact other people, or you could hook a second radio into a computer and forward data to IRC. Although using telnet for IRC, over a radio link with a TI-83 calculator is not practical.

    If people want a nice little handheld radio, they should check out used Kenwood TH-D7A as they have a built in TNC and save you some money. You may want more Tx power but its a nice radio. I use a Kenwood TH-D7A with a Nokia N810 running Maemo Mapper for APRS.

  11. They still make pcmcia wifi cards??

    The ubiquity cards were pretty cool.

    pcmcia is still very popular, I know they have removed it from a lot of laptops but you can still find it, like you can still buy laptops with serial and parallel ports. I still use pcmcia data acquisition cards nearly everyday.

  12. Hey there,

    I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice on a good PCMCIA card for use with Backtrack 3 and other security distros (preferably something with an external antenna connection)? Thanks!

    I don't use Backtrack but the Ubiquiti SRC 300mW PCMCIA card was the best on the market and I still like mine. It will work with BT3

  13. this makes me laugh only because I'm from Kansas.

    The few I've been to in the UK were fairly boring. Its all Arduino, LED's and Mac's. The German ones I've been to were good, the few I've seen in the US have been a mixed bag, which is not a bad thing. I don't care if people love Arduino, LED's and Mac's there just needs to be more.

  14. Well FRS is a US standard so it really has no one operating on it in the UK and as my IC-E90 is modded I can operate on the frequencies at 5watts and just give out cheap Uniden FRS radio's I buy in the US. PMR446 tends to be full of learner motorbike riders and kids so its best to stay clear of that. 2M/70CM is full of old boys who feel the need to talk about how big their antenna is and how much money they have spent on there other equipment. I do like to operate on 4M and 10M but its a lot harder for me to give out a lot of radios.

  15. Laptop and my normal shit like wireless cards, dect cards, bluetooth dongles, antennas 5GHz and 2.4GHz. I now use more compact directional patch antennas, N810, IC-E90, IC-E92ED for dstar, Yaesu FT-897D, selection of antennas and wire for other frequencies, Tektronix H600 10 kHz to 6.2 GHz spectrum analyzer, TNC, Garman GPS unit, Nikon D90 with a 18mm-200mm lens also a 10mm-20mm lens, SB900, remote shutter release, mono pod, Nikon GPS unit, AR8200MK3, and so on

    There are pictures and I've talked about my kit in other posts.

  16. Have you ever seen one in real life?? I know the guy that's porting a lot of the wireless tools in backtrack to it, but his was broken the last time I saw him. I don't know how well the company is going, they've canceled their second gen phone already.

    I have the first gen and secound gen but I don't think its really going anywhere. For the time being you can still get them.
