You can pick up a used N810 for dirt cheap these days. Unless your a hacker/programmer they are bloody useless so people picked them up for novelty value, then realized they wanted an iPhone and sold them.
That's a fair comment, if you are not tech savvy its not worth buying. I've picked up a few n810 as I've found they can run everything I use on a full laptop under Linux, even USB TV tuners. I tend to use my n900 most the time but if I'm going somewhere I tend to have a N810 with all my unstable testing stuff on.

<- Is happy that the UK is finally getting a meetup. I know you guys have been wanting this for a long time.
We had one in 2007, organization could have been better but it was interesting.

My model don't have bluetooth (wish it did) and everything works great without any problems (except touch-screen calibration in Ubuntu). I was just wondering if i could upgrade the processor to a dual-core or higher and if not is there an upgraded motherboard for this model which support faster processors
Its should be thought of the same as any other laptop, in the sense that the only things that are user upgradable is the memory, wireless card and hard drive.

I sure there are quite a few people here that like a beer and SF Beer Week is starting on the 5th of February and I was wondering if anyone else is planning on going and wants to meet up?
I'll be in San Francisco mainly for other reasons but I will be sampling a wide selection of beers and trying to disprove to myself that most if not all American beers are bad (you make nice spirits/liquors). also if anyone besides the people in the deep south can handle their drink.

I'll also be at Noisebridge and SF2600 I'm sure.

n800 or n810 would be a cheap way to do it. A used n800 would be the lowest cost option and there is loads of open source telephony software.

Here is the Cyberpunks guide to London, you may find something you want to do.

I'm sure if you are in the city, I could make it to a pub for a few beers. Word of advice the British drink like the next day is the day of their execution and they need to get a life's worth of drinking in. People are good spirited mostly but if you see men or women passed out on the street on a Friday or Saturday night leave them alone, there be fine.

Sharp Zaurus only really sold well in Japan, the last few models they didn't even bother trying to sell them outside of Asia. The Nokia N900 is were its at. Now there are a lot of big name hackers getting them, I'm sure it will progress as a pentesting tool in the upcoming months and year.

N900 has a real Linux distribution on it and is already having Linux apps ported to it. The other Linux based phones are too striped down.

rebuilt it the other day along with a load of other tools, works fine. Build it yourself, stop expecting people to do shit for you.

lol, I just read the above post, thought you just wanted to keep a car battery to 12V from the max of 13.5

GlobalSat BU-353 is the only one worth getting. Its USB, water proof, gets a lock within a few seconds and is dirt cheap. Surf Star 3 is the only chip set you should be looking at. Garmin handhelds are okay but the cheap ones take too long to get a lock and they drop out too often under trees and random shit.

If you are that worried about burning them out just use a voltage regulator that is fixed to the value you are looking for, there about 5p each. You feed in your power source to the left leg (voltage regulator facing you, the side with the text), ground to the center and it gives you your desired voltage out the right leg, with the center remaining ground.
LM2940CT is what you are looking for.

I thought that was a myth...... I've been wardriving forever and have never seen a chalk.
I think it was only done in a few areas with in the US. Does anyone still wardrive, its a little pointless now a days, I can turn my laptop on and see 16 AP and 3 of them are open from my living room. I was walking around Belfast last month and picked up over 6500 in about 4 hours and that was on my little N810 running Kismet on the internal wireless (I was testing a new build + new drivers).

What am I?
I immerse myself in computers, technology, gadgets....pulling shit apart, rebuilding it.
I game like a madman...i read as much as i can...i absorb all that i can, i never stop being inquisitive...i get excited when i learn something new.
I war drive, war walk and walk chalk....heh...
I never miss a documentary or a movie or an hak5 episode that has something new and cool to offer.
Hell i even go dumpster diving and can spend hours at a waste transfer station scavaging 2nd hand hardware, i still get a thrill bolting a PII pc togther with a 2 gig quantum fireball hdd running linux or some such and putting it to good use.
If i had the money and the means i'd love to come to the states for DefCon and would love to attend the meetups that hak5 has occasionally.....i only ever dream of being part of something like that.
I love hanging out with my very few like minded friends that don't roll their eyes when the discussion shifts to tcp/ip...I've travelled 4hrs 30mins to LAN with one mate, just so i can leech off his TB Drive....
If i could afford it i'd rewire my whole house for rfid and home automation and build an epic central server with storage space that would rival google...but that will never happen..
I'm 38 yrs old....and thats no shit...i'm not a hacker and don't think i'd ever call myself one...i reckon i just wouldn't do the term justice.
After that list of things I'd say the inspiration to The 40 Year Old Virgin, they just round the age up as Hollywood likes a snappy title.
There needs to be more to life than tech and tech people, otherwise you wake up one day, put a gun in your mouth and pull the trigger.

Personally I've found that wearing a yellow vest and having a clipboard full of old paperwork works well.
I've found leaving the laptop in a bag and connecting to it via ssh from a phone or something small is the best way to not look like you are doing anything out of place. That and calling them up on a phone and asking for whatever information you may want.

Anything that blends in. Although if I see some guy sitting out side my house with a laptop and not wearing a suit, I'm going to start to ask questions. If you need one for doing site survey and shit a fully rugged Panasonic Toughbook can take the rain while walking around.
I really like the Panasonic Toughbook U1.

I think it fair to say RTFM is the best thing to say to Z2 modders. There are very good step by step guides to getting it to a point where you can install your own app's and make it more usable. Learn to cross compile is the most basic thing that makes any hand held Linux device worth while, then learning how to tweak the code to get it to run correctly is the second thing. Its really not hard, not one is saying write some new drivers or code from scratch.
Although looks like I may be able to buy a load of bricked Z2 soon, once people have fucked them up by not following basic steps.

Just change the port to something random to make it harder for people that are just scanning for common services and have your server block any IP address after three password attempts.

Depends what you want to learn and where you want to take it. I guess if pen testing/money is why you are learning, SANS would be the right place to learn. Most people now a days seem to not learn for the love of learning but to accomplish an end goal of making money.

If you're on a Mac just drag and drop the files you want to share into Sites and enable Web Sharing in System Preferences, but you still need to do some port forwarding on your router if you want the outside world to see it. Sharing stuff on an internal network is not time consuming or hard so I don't really get your question from that stand point.

They have things like the latest builds of nmap, aircrack, kismet and such. If its not a massive amount of work, mostly cli, just PM me with what you need and I'll port it. (this is for people I know only)
