Ok let's say that the wiring is good there are two breakers and 1000ft of wire. Would it work? What about 2000ft of wire?
-
Any one have any experience with power line network setups. What I'm interested in is the maximum range. I don't need a super fast link either. The adapters would be on the same 110v leg of the breaker box.

The windows box is running an NTRIP caster/server to upload RTK base station corrections. There are a few linux versions out there but I haven't had a whole lot of luck with them.
Here is a link to what I'm using now. http://lefebure.com/software/ntripcaster/

I am running an older that has windows xp installed on it as a webserver of sorts. It runs one program that streams data on port 5000. Other than that the computer is not for anything. My question is what do I need to do when support for xp ends? I have looked for some linux alternatives to the software but haven't found any. Should I upgrade to windows 7 or will this computer still be secure?

I have a question about how a ddwrt repeater with multiple antennas works. I have a metal building and want to put a directional antennas on the outside and hook it to a ddwrt router set up as a repeater inside. I tried it with an old wrt54g but it didn't work as expected. I was wondering if a router that supported mimo would improve this setup and make it work as expected.

I would have thought your "school" (-sounds funny to a Brit,- unless you are under 16!) is much less likely to block some other ports than 22 (after all that is practically saying its ok to tunnel out using ssh).
I am thinking explicitly of ports such as 443 which is the standard SSL/HTTPS port, -if they block that then no secure sites will work such as banking or library sites so thats highly unlikely. If you are running a pure ssh server rather than say OpenVPN which also uses SSL then that should be fine. You will probably still get a few bots knocking on that port but they will not be expecting SSH there! There is also always port 80 of course, providing you are not running a web server on your (Home?) server. Also have you checked that they are not using a proxy which is more common in large institutions. You can find out the details of the proxy simply by checking the internet connection settings on the browser on one of the institutions machines and use those details in putty to get out that way (I do that all the time to tunnel out of my "institution" -and no I am not being held at her majesties pleasure!)
The odd thing about it is that when I run on port 22 everything works great. Only time I can't connect is when I tried a none standard port. I guess they do like tunneling. I'm guessing that like you said 80 or 443 would work too. Could be using a proxy haven't really checked into it. School, university, and college are all used interchangeably where I'm from (Western Kansas very rural location in the states)

You can try any number of other ports - just make sure your firewall on your server side is port forwarding the appropriate ports. So you can either change the port on your server (/etc/ssh/sshd_config) or if your router/firewall supports it, you can do port mapping. For instance, I can map port 2020 to 22 on my server. So when I'm out in the world, I type ssh -p 2020 user@telotsawesomeserver.com and my router/firewall makes port 2020 from outside internet connect to port 22 on my inside intranet at my house. All this does is prevent script kiddies from attempting to brute force my server - security through obscurity.

That's what I would do but when i'm at school I can't connect unless the server is running on port 22. It's something with their stuff because I ran on a different port for several years and never had a problem connecting.
If password login is disabled then it's perfectly fine to run SSH on port 22.
I'm using the key method to login. I just wanted to make sure that I had everything taken care of. I would rather run on a non-standard port but I'm not sure that is an option. Thanks for the info everyone.

I was wondering if it would be secure to run ssh on port 22 on a ddwrt router. I'm using a key not a password for login. Right now i'm running it on port 2223 but I think i'm running into firewall issues at my university. I can't connect to my ssh server on port 2223 but I can connect to another on that is running on port 22. I'm wondering what port I should change to.

Depending on how much you know about linux hostapd could be a good option. It takes a little bit of work to get set up but it does work. You have to get hostapd installed, have dhcp3-server installed and set up (not required but is nice), and get your iptables set up.
(edit) Read your post a little closer and if your only wanting to connect a few devices you wouldn't need a dhcp server. Can you use airmon-ng to set your internal wifi to moniter mode?
if airmon-ng does work with you internal wifi here is what you could do
1. connect to a wifi access point with your computer using the longer range ALFA card and then start your vpn
2. set up a wireless access point using hostapd and you internal wifi
The routing would be the most important thing here if you want your phones wifi traffic to go through the vpn. I don't know a whole lot about the routing but I have set up access point like i have describe using hostapd.

Ya i'm starting to think that that would be the way to go too. Thanks for the input.

I've considered that but I would like to try some client based ideas first.
-
What email client are you guys using? I use gmail but my parents have an email account that you have to use a client with. The account gets a large amount of spam. Right now I have thunderbird set up but i'm looking for ideas on the email spam. Needs to be able to run on a windows computer.
-
Thanks for the links. I should be able to find something that works.

I know C++ and have worked a fair amount of shell scripts. I've played with python and visual basic some. I'm not opposed to learning something new I just needing some ideas of where to get started with something like this. Shell scripts are nice but i want do see if I can make myself something with a gui.
-
What I want to do is make a linux program/application that can run command line prompts from a gui window. For example let's say have a window with two button one to start and stop monitor mode. My question is what programing language would I want to do something like this in?
-
I'm interested to see how this one plays out. Thanks for the post its always good to see something like prey working. Hope everything works out for you.

Anyone have any experience with adding a 2nd hard drive in a laptop's optical disk drive bay? There are several adapter out there for this. I'm thinking of using one harddrive for windows and the other one for a couple of different linux distros. I know I could set it all up on one hard drive but I really don't want to partition my main drive. I'm just wondering if anyone has went this route. Also could i get it set up so that windows only turns on the windows drive and linux only turns on the linux drive so that I don't have two drives taking battery power?

Some cards will work right out of the box with backtrack and support monitor mode, injection, etc. For example my laptops internal card is ready to go as soon as I boot into backtack. My cheap usb card isn't. I had to search for the right driver, download it, and put it in the right directory to get that card working. Not real sure if that answers your question.

Free version of konboot won't work on 64 bit version of windows without doing some extra work. They talked about that a few episodes back. That being said i have gotten the free version of konboot to work on almost every 32 bit windows machine I have tried.

I picked up an AWUS036NH but was never able to get it to work, not even as a regular wifi adapter on 802.11g networks.
So I later picked up the AWUS036H and it works great, except that the drivers are missing ad-hoc mode (which is probably fine for most people, especially if you just care about monitor mode and injection).
What version of backtrack were you running? I know some people have had problems with the AWUS036NH that's why i'm looking for some input. The built in wifi card in my laptop is N and I had some problems in backtrack 4 but for the most part they have went away in backtack 5.

thanks for the link just what I was looking for

I'm going to buy an alfa wifi card but not sure which one i want to get. I was looking at awus036h and AWUS036NH. This card will mostly be ran with backtrack 5. I will also be running this card some on the windows side and have an n router so that why i'm looking at n cards but I don't have to have N. From the little bit i have read it seems like in the past some alpha cards have been better supported than others. I just want to make sure i get the right card.
-
Would this work for a persistent usb drive? I have a 4 gig usb drive that I am running backtrack 5 kde 32 bit on. Kde works fine for a few days and then will no longer start when you type startx.

Thanks again I have everything working now. Knew it had something to do with openssl but was lost when openssl was there. Added the openssl development files and it worked great.

I was wondering if there were any other router like the pineapple that have two physical wireless cards. Darren seems to indicate that there are other router out the that could be used besides the pineapple but he is using them just because that is what he has around.
