I was indeed thinking of the 3rd party VPN service as you mentioned. I've set up ssh before on Linux yes, I didn't consider said solution thinking that I would need an internet connection in each building and a box hosting the VPN service ie. vpn server in the main office/ building. I know any old box can do this but the client only has a simple router, and nothing else. Let me clarify, (Sorry so wordy and repetative): What the client wants to do is share the internet connection between three buildings. The modem and router sit inside the main building and the other two buildings have no network infrastructure whatsoever. Think of it as three metal warehouses, which is exactly what we're talking about. The two buildings with no internet are approximatley between 40-70ft away from the main office with the 3rd building being the furthest. Right now I'm concentrating on the second building which is only about 40ft away. So it's a simple problem, It's just that they don't want to spend a lot of money and they haven't given me an exact budget to work with. At one point I wanted to suggest that they go with MyFi routers in each building or broadband cards if they only want to worry about having specific machines connected to the internet in each office but I worry that there may be connection issues because they will be inside the metal warehouses. I'm almost tempted to pick up a myfi device to test with but then there is the issue of some providers having better connectivity than others, etc, so it's the element of guess work still exists.

Thanks for the response, yes there is one router inside one of the buildings which is broadcasting to the complex (other two buildings). The service is for customers and the client doesn't really want to kick out the bucks for vpn service, running cable or providing a myfi service in each building so the antenna option seems to be the most viable. I was leaning twoards that option but wasn't sure which antennas to use or if there were other possible solutions I missed. Thanks again!!

Hey guys, I've seen a post on this before on the forum but I couldn't find it. Google has some good info on the subject but it's a little vague so I thought I'd ask. My situation is simple, I am transmitting wifi from a metal building and need to receive in another about 40ft away. Basically there are three buildings. A. where the router is located B. client approx 40 ft away c. client approx 60-70 ft away From what I've gathered the best solution is cat6 and an APs but I don't have the option to to run cable. The other solution I've found is to mount directional antennas on the outside of said buildings. I have a yagi which I tried this morning with my alfa 036H on building B (unmounted to the bulding) and while I was able to pull an IP I was unable to resolve to DNS. The signal strength was showing at 57% but fluctuating. My guess is that the signal was too weak but I find that odd because I've been able to resolve and load pages at lower levels. Lastly, the buildings are located in a small complex which puts the furthest point (the last building) about 80ft away. The goal is to transmit a strong enough signal to all buildings. Is this possible with a grid antenna on building A and directionals like Yagis on the receiving buildings? Or is am I just S00L unless I run cable? Thanks in advance.

Its these types of posts and responses that make this my favorite forum.

Thanks for the advice. I never considered combining the panels for more power. Would you happen to know a good resource to learn more about solar panel implemantation? Thanks again.

I was just talking about doing this a few days ago. Thanks for the update. Would something like this work for the solar panel? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004FOEUI0/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1366033767&sr=8-7π=SL75

Dont real hackers outsource their work then figure out How to get around the corp firewall? LOL

Still stuck on line 30. Succesfully canged the scripts to executable as suggested above but am now receiving "env: can't execute 'python': No such file or directory" error. I've installed Python on to my usb drive and have tried running the command in line 30 from the python directory as well as the pineapple's root. No dice. Wondering if the version of python installed is compatible. If anyone has had success with this please advise. What version of python is recommended? Should I install it on root? I have Python-3.3.0 on the USB drive. Thanks!

Thanks for help Foxtrot. I had a feeling it was one of the ch~ commands but I couldn't remember. Was actually reading the man page for chmod before I gave up. I'll try this tonight and post results.

Stuck on line 30 - when issuing ./db2bin.py regulatory.bin db.txt i get -ash: ./db2bin.py: Permission denied any clues? Perhaps due to python not being installed.

Thanks for this info! I'm gonna try it tonight. Actually pasting the steps was useful as the link is blocked where I am. :) Cheers, A

Hi everyone, I've been a fan of Hak5 since I first ran across it a around two-three summers ago. Been a daily reader of the forums for about a year steady. I'm glad to have found such a wealth of information,in addition to good and knowledgeable people with whom to correspond with. In return for all I've learned on the forums, and will learn in the days to come, I hope that I can be of help and support whenever possible. I'm not a security expert by any means but through sharing some of my experiences and failures I may be able to help some that have less knowledge than myself.
