So you wrote a Monokai-styled theme for CodeMirror that's hosted on your home PC or phone? Nice. CodeMirror does look pretty good. Not a bad idea having a portable code editor that requires no software hosted either on the internet or your phone. I host a web server on my phone running 'webdj', a web application I wrote. Because of the large amount of storage my phone has I decided to turn it into a pocket NAS so people can download/upload files, watch videos, listen to music, browse images etc. I can just hotspot anywhere and people can watch videos and stuff easily. I might run a DHCP/DNS server on my phone so people can just browse to 'webdj.com' or something and it goes to my phone's webserver when I'm hotspotting, as when I do hotspot I'll have data off so that clients can't reach the internet. Make it easier for those who aren't familiar with browsing to IPs.

Tell me about it ? Setting up a camera system the other day it said I needed to install some obscure flash plugin that doesn't exist on Windows (Mac only), however if I launched it in IE it would work fine. PHP/JS are my go-tos for handling applications - just not a good idea using PHP when there's metric tonnes of clients with their own sessions. In this case I'm expecting a maximum of 2. If I integrate my NAS web server then I would probably make it handle 4-6 at a time for a LAN accessible via WAN.

I've migrated the login page to HTML. Looks okay, still haven't added any PHP yet. Also forgot the font I used in the OP so it doesn't look quite as good yet, sadly. The font is Segoe UI Semibold, for anyone interested. One of my favourite fonts - it's very clean and looks nice. Unfortunately it's not on all systems so to make the site reliable I have to store the font files on the web server. Works, though.

Hoi! So I like designing web front-ends for routers and stuff. I learn a lot from them, especially when I incorporate PHP. But anyway, here's something I drew up with good ol' MS Paint. Let me know what you think! I haven't finished the Network page (haven't started any of the others - still working on what they should look like). The Network page will probably, eventually, get an administrative services section for configuring DHCP, DNS, SSH etc. etc. As you can probably tell the design is for an 8P router. More of a corporate/business solution in most cases, but they're quite useful with their port configuration. Currently this design has very minimal port configuration. But I'm thinking about giving it NAS capabilities, so file storage, user management and role-based access etc. As you can see, there is already a bit of that in the design as it is. This is only a draw-up, none of this is put into HTML/CSS/JS yet. The colours aren't final, but it's not a bad look. Bit too Windows-tenny for my taste, really, but I might make a theme/colour section to change it up to how the user likes. © Copyright Dave-ee Jones 2018 #Copyrighted

Isn't Linux known for it's startup scripts? Surely just have a service that starts on startup..

Here's what I have in mind after giving it 30s of thinking time: Setup a LAN with WiFi, DNS, DHCP and web server Set WiFi SSIDs as hints to things around the room or something else Put WiFi passwords and maybe even URLs (DNS entries pointing to webpages) around the room, hidden ofc. The webpages can hide more hints, clues or provide passwords even to other things around the room Login pages with passwords lying around etc. Network traffic, they have to request a certain URL for a door to open but they don't know what it is (router goes, "oh they tried to go to www.google.com let's open the door") Other ideas that could make them cyber-aware: NFC tags (get them to clone the tag with their phone or another device hidden around the room) For example, there are 2 doors or readers that need to be activated at the same time but they only have the 1 tag Voice Control (smart home) Talk to Siri hiding behind a wall somewhere and ask her to open a door? I don't know.. Have a locked computer somewhere they need to hack into? Make it easy, obviously. Hope these spark some more ideas!

Doesn't mean much - it probably makes his post more legit honestly. Think about it, you get hacked you go post on a hacking forum to figure out what's going on.

Also, just FYI - If you're concerned about speaking their company name or whatever and they specialise in IP cameras why would you 1. Scan your network with Nmap/ZenMap 2. Pull out an AP to put into monitor mode 3. Pull out a Raspberry Pi All of the above is telling them "Hey, he suspects something". It's not quite as dangerous as blurting out to the world who is doing this but it's still up there. AND ANOTHER QUESTION: How did you see anything on their network with Wireshark? You have to already be on their network to see traffic on their network, don't you? So how did you see any traffic at all to be suspicious in the first place?

If they aren't cabled you could just constantly spam deauth packets..that is, until they program them to ignore the packets. A life of hiding..I do not envy the person who does this daily. The thing is, the OP suggests he's currently connected to a massive WAN. We all know what we can do when we're on a network, right.. FREE INTERNET! (I knew someone was thinking it - but no). I think one of the biggest stuff-ups they could make at this point would be making every camera they have get their IP from DHCP. I mean, can you imagine plugging your own DHCP server into their network and sitting back and observing the chaos.. Side-note: What kind of feds would do something this radical? Russian feds? English feds? Chinese feds?

If he's a genius he'll change the MAC to look like a router that we showed pics of above, to trick knowledgeable people, but not other geniuses. Like me ?. Joking, of course. But I'm not wrong. ?

Trust me, you don't want to. It's a whole 'nother can of worms.

(It has the steps written on the GUI) 1. Insert USB 2. Start ImageUSB software 3. Select the USB drive you want to make an image of (Step 1 area) 4. Select "Create image from USB drive" (Step 2 area) 5. Select where you want to put the image by pressing the "Browse" button (Step 3 area) 6. Click on the "Create" button (Step 4 area) Once it's done, you can then deploy the image to a USB (or multiple USBs) by doing the same thing as above but selecting "Write image to USB drive" instead of "Create image from USB drive". The rest is pretty straight-forward. Select the image you want to deploy, deploy it. Bear in mind it may not be able to verify the USB if your USB size is bigger than the image, and it obviously may not work if you're image size is bigger than the USB you're deploying to. Warning on the page I linked says: Hope it helps.

Here's a straightforward piece of software that will help. https://www.osforensics.com/tools/write-usb-images.html It can create an ISO from a USB and deploy an ISO to multiple USBs. Great for pretty much anything boot-USB related. ------------ Also, for future reference, please use the Questions subforum for questions like this, as this specific sub-forum is for issues and bugs with the wiki/forum/website. Thanks!

That would be one super quick glance.

That's what they're there for. Musing alternatives, casual banter and constructive criticism. ?

I don't think he was being patronising. I think he was sincere. I'm sincere when I say I agree with him - it's a great way to quickly find answers. I wouldn't say you learn from quickly Googling answers but at least you can find them, and you can Google how they work to actually learn how to use them and do them yourself, as well. ... That's a yikes. 0-100 faster than my car, anyway. You asked for help, he gave it, you just chucked that right back at him. I think you're looking in the wrong place. Not to mention I don't think many of us want to be associated with you either, to be fair..

Could do that without a Tetra (TeamViewer, for example, which is free). Hardware-wise, could be anything. Most modern routers can track MACs for you anyway. And a lot of phones automatically scramble the MAC whenever they connect to a new SSID, so it's usefulness is meh. Not sure what you mean about this one..it's not really viable. Yep. Yep. Yep. Very true. Although, what legit routers are black with 4 antennas..Maybe old D-Links? Even if it wasn't a PineAP could be a modified RPi which could be worse. Yee...eh...no...nah. A possibility. I prefer not to deliberately aggravate people when possible..

Sorry, I should have specified "you want something like this". That was just a picture as an example.

Agreed (although I personally wouldn't stand outside the closet, just anywhere within 1-20m or so with a WiFi analyser to check channels and signal strengths).

Yeah, that's essentially what I'm after. $40 USD though...yikes.

I'm aware of that. So you want this?

Some of them, maybe.

Not sure if you're mocking me here or not.. You probably have, you just don't no what they're called.

I'm confused. What do you want? If PCI-e you're looking fairly "big", as it's a PCI-e card with a backplate. If USB, you're looking nail-sized USB or external WiFi card and antenna from a USB cable (ALFA-like). You could try getting a WiFi card similar to those in phones, but I'm not sure how it would work with a PC/laptop etc.

Fair enough. I've found most are like that. Having a quick Google there was one with the name that went something like "Learning HTML for kids" and it was just a wall of text for eons down the page...Not quite what you'd want.
