Cykio, you inspired me to pull out my shots of Kyoto.

Ok so I have satellite service and didn't much care about the local stations. I had a cheap set of rabbit ears sitting on the tv cabinet and it worked ok. First for those that think I'm in the dark ages the "tv cabinet" holds the kids DVDs, the sat receiver, DVD player, surround sound unit. The flat screen is mounted on the wall all the wires run inside the wall and come back out of the floor behind/underneath the tv cabinet. But anyway I was getting about 4 digital channels with the rabbit ears if I adjusted them right. And they weren't the same 4 channels in the morning as at night. So, I had built this: http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2009/01/m...tv_antenna.html Instead of hangers I used copper wire from a roll of Romex I had. So, today I took on the task a fishing a cable from the basement to the attic. Luckily there's a cold air return the runs the distance. Using a ebay wireless Infrared camera helps looking down the cold air return. After running the back up from the basement into the wall to the TV I now have 13 digital channels! Yes sir with the average signal strength of 80-100% before I was lucky if I got 70%, about the limit for my Sat receiver to reliably display the channel. If anyone is interested I can link some pictures but right now it's about 110 deg F in the attic. The 300ohm to 75 ohm Balun is about $4.00 at Lowes You may have some Romex laying around or you can buy it by the foot at Lowes/Home Depot Various screws washers are a few dollars A scrap 2x4?? Check if Lowes has any scrap laying around usually in the lumber isle on a cart. You can get a 2x4 for like 50 cents if you're really cheap. I needed some drywall and found half a sheet for $1.00 enough for my project.

You've got OpenWRT on it you've got the tools to do what you want. What do you want to do with it?

I personally use http://www.gargoyle-router.com/ It's OpenWRT kamikaze based. Using the author's FonFlash program (a re-write of Area51 flasher) it installs easy and it's very easy to configure. I find it works better then DD-WRT. I found DD-WRT to be a little to "heavy" for the FON. I've installed Gargoyle on Fon's that have virgin firmware and the latest version without any issues. Just start FonFlash, pick the files (ahteros bleeding edge), Plug ethernet into Fon (Black/Lan), Plug into computer. Press the Flash button then plug in the FON. FonFlash will find the Fon via Arp packets and it will start flashing it. 30min later you're all set.

Gee and I'll got is this: http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/c...tedPhoneId=3785 Although the first day I got it, I changed all the Verizon pictures to my own using p2kcommander. And then I went into the service menu and disabled EVDO to triple my battery life. Now it's a nice phone. Don't care about web, email, sms, et. al. Turned all those services off.

I believe it's custom. IIRC, it's debian based at least the hotel one I saw. Quite a bit of information to see by reading all the text as it boots. ;)

No, linux didn't fail, the hardware did. This system is probably similar to Lodgenet Hotel TV systems. They run linux also and when the hardware fails it goes into a continous boot cycle. Saw it on a TV at Hampton inn.

I think GPSMap will do the triangulation for you. It will take a live feed from Kismet also.

Not easily with Netstumbler. While it will show GPS location, which is the coords where it was last "seen" and it will show signal strength*, there is no built in direction finding algorithm. It also doesn't show connected clients, whereas Kismet while show clients. Doing a google search (kismet "network center") shows some info that looks close. Also, Kismet is a passive scanner like the wifi investigator while Netstumbler is an active scanner. http://casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu/drupal/node/288 *If you use a supported network card like the Orinoco that will properly report signal strength and NOT use a NDIS driver which at best only reports something close to signal strength.

You should see how fast they can get across 5 lanes of traffic after you've taken a forbidden picture. It had to be <i>deleted</i> off the camera. Remind me to show it to you some time.

But they're not looking for the access point. They're looking for the clients! The correct scenario goes like this: Deception SEs his way into Acme Widgets and plants a Jasager. A couple days goes by and BOFH find Jasager and does some investigating and figures out what it is and what it does. He then thinks. I'm gonna get the little bastard that planted this on my network. Buhawaha. He acquires a wifi investigator and finds the mac addresses of the clients connecting to the Jasager. He uses the GPS and direction finding to lead him to a coffee shop across the street where Deception sits with his laptop. An unmarked crown vic pulls up, out come two gentlemen with a nice pair of shiny bracelets. They verify the MAC address and take Deception off to jail. The device isn't <i>only</i>for finding rogue access points. Its for finding the person connected to it.

My work has a split tunnel. All corporate traffic goes through the VPN. All internet traffic doesn't. Which is opposite of the VPN I have at home. I route alll traffic through my VPN. That means I bypass any and all restrictions set by the ISP I'm using at the remote location and all my traffic is encrypted. It can be be helpful at times, especially if you're in a country that is not so friendly with regards to Intellectual Property and such.

Ok I'm going to ask, Why the hell do you need the pineapple for? What is the scenario? The pineapple is meant to trick others into connecting through your connection. The wifi tracker is meant to track down a rogue client on a legit Access point. I.E. a home user has not secured their wireless and some unauthorized user has connected to it and is using it for illegal purposes. The LEO is now using the tracker to see who is connected to the AP and then he's tracking that MAC for signal strength based on the tracker location as to triangulate the source of the client. The Jasager acts as a rogue AP of sorts. It pretends to be everyone and then allows anyone to connect and use the network it's connected to. It makes no sense to proxy a connection, at least to me.

It might be valid, though I've never used steam and don't know if the url is legitimate. I've logged on to other chat clients and had similar messages that then say press 1 here to use this session and disconnect the other. This happens when I leave myself logged in at home and then log in at work.

Hmm, want to circumvent it? Use a 802.11a wireless system. It only sees b/g Seriously, it acts more like Kismet being passive and doing a triangulation based on signal strength vs. gps. Of which both can be error prone do to signal loss/reflection and gps error.

It's on Jannick's desk next to the telephone.

Really? My Fon+ runs off 7.5VDC and I'm going out on a limb but since the Fon+ board is the same board in the Fon2, it just doesn't have the USB parts populated. I would think it would be 7.5. Although that's not to say if you supplied it 5vdc it may run. I haven't looked at the voltage regulator circuit inside to check. But what the OP wanted to do was created a POE passthrough so that he can put it inbetween a POE device.

What you'll need is a universal remote that is RF and has an IR blaster on the other end. The remote will talk RF to the blaster which will then translate the signal to IR for your devices. For the 1100 you'll need to get the RF Extender (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/remotes/universal_remotes/devices/378&cl=us,en) sold seperately.

Ah, I see. What I would do then is create a small POE pass-through device and feed only the data wires to the fon. You'll first have to figure out what POE wiring scheme they're using. http://www.altair.org/labnotes_POE.html Bring in the POE/enet and then split it out to data and power. The data goes into the interceptor and then the output of the interceptor rejoins with the power wires you split out and gets passed back out. Essentially you want to keep the power from going to the interceptor. NOTE: When doing, this maintain the twisted pair of the data lines as much as possible to reduce cross-talk on the wires.

Given the environment it's used in, it's not conducive. Also, the Fonera is 7.5VDC which doesn't meet the 'standard' POE voltage specification. However you can DIY you're own for home use. I have a FON running POE in my foyer. http://www.frontiernet.net/~beakmyn/poe/ The power supply is about a about 75 feet away in the basement.

What about a Fonera 2.0? It's got USB for the camera and wifi. Seems like it wouldn't be too hard to write some scripts.... Oh, I found it somewhat interesting that even Sam's Club has hidden cameras now. This one has a built in DVR http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate....p;ci_sku=882259

Truecrypt whole disk encryption. BIOS passwords can be bypassed but if the entire drive is encrypted even booting with an alternative method will get you nowhere. Also set a screensaver password and turn off file sharing. Just like in Linux, don't log on as root (administrator). Enable the guest account and use that for your daily activities. Most of the tools used by the switchblade/hacksaw require administrator access to run so if you're not logged on as admin, then problem solved. Not all processes can be viewed by Microsoft's process viewer pick up a freebie one from Systinternals (now Microsoft sysinternals). Run a full nMap scan of your machine to check for backdoor processes, especially VNCs. You can Microsoft's file settings and transfer wizard to save all your files. Read up on it.

Try TeraCopy for file copying. http://www.codesector.com/teracopy.php Oh, letting Windows update grab the SP now. My machines aren't 'good' enough to run Vista ultimate (SiS chipset) but I've found Vista Business to be very stable,speedy and modestly prices ($99 @buy.com), and it's got Aero.

Never had that problem. I find the in-ear have better sound, even with cheap ones. I can't stand the "ear bud" headphones. Took a long time to find a bluetooth headset (Plantronics Voyager 855) that was in-ear. Extra points since it's stereo. If you can hear you hearbeat, etc. you may have them in too tight. Or try the following: Before putting them in. Plug your nose, close you mouth and breathe out. This will force your internal air pressure to equalize through you ears. It's an old swimmer/diver trick I learned. Works great on plans and as I kid I would do it when diving down into the deep end in the pool. That way you're ears don't hurt when you're down there.
