  1. I think they are detecting the output of the oscillator on the radar detector. I'm not sure if an SDR would put off such a signal; maybe if you had two you could use one as a spectrum analyzer while the other receives the signal in question and look for any data?

  2. I had an issue with WLAN 2 after the recent upgrade, but not to the extent you're having. Upon using wlan 2 connect in client mode to my router, it would work then stop routing. I would just have to use one of the installed radios to connect successfully in client mode. It may be the USB adapter I'm using, it is a no name Alfa clone. When I have a chance i'll use the Hak5 adapter and give it another try.

    So no routing at all when wlan 2 is even siting idle? What type of adapter is it?

  3. Short, slightly sarcastic answer is the biggest mistake is hosting your own website at home.

    Longer answer, you have to consider:

    Keeping the box fully patched

    The application is usually the weakest link so is that fully secure

    The server must be fully segmented from your home network otherwise a compromise would give an attacker full run of your home

    Does your ISP allow hosting? Some don't on residential contracts

    Do you have a static IP or will you be using a dynamic IP service

    Whats your bandwidth allowance and will people using the site affect you using the internet

    Is the cost in electricity and time maintaining it lower than just paying a small amount of money to a hosting company? If you want to do that have a look at http://cloudatcost.com/ for very cheap servers *

    Why are you doing it? To learn, to save money on commercial hosting or for something else?

    Sure there are other things to consider but that is what comes off the top of my head.

    That's a great deal, I put in your email address for the referral, you should get a free server.

    Thanks,

  4. This one goes way back to '96 when I had my first help desk job for an ISP. The lady was using 3.11 and couldn't get her trumpet dialer to open. So I told her to move the mouse over the icon and double click, she said nothing happened, we did this a few more times, same result. I asked her to describe the icon, to make sure he had the right one, she replied " I can't see it right now, the mouse is in the way". I asked her what she meant, she then said ' I have my mouse up on the monitor over the icon and can't see it". yes, she was holding the mouse to the screen trying to click it......

  5. Course summary:

    "Thank you for signing up for A System View of Communications: From Signals to Packets (Part 1).

    You are about to have first-hand experience building a communication system! We will guide you through the entire communication chain from a single source to a single destination. Along the way, we will introduce the effects of the communication channel, the evaluation of communication system performance, the importance of communication protocols, the use of equivalent representations and models, and the analysis and amelioration of the effects of noise within the communication system."

  6. Great quality, great Linux support. That's my reasoning at least.

    The quality is there, I still have a fully functioning 366Mhz (IBM) laptop running w2k, I believe IBM/Lenovo were also one of the first big manufacturers to start funding support for linux.

  7. But here's the kicker: We're not actually stripping ssl. You asked for a non-ssl website and you got it. We just make it resemble an ssl website.

    Good point, but the end user would still think they had encryption and therefore privacy. I'd be interested to see how a court would look at that, not that I'm encouraging anyone to get caught :)

    If technology can stay one step ahead of the laws, there is always a gray area. I think in general though, most passive roles the pineapple can play are legal.
