armadaender Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 linksys wireless b. Yes but what is it's model? How can I hammer networks? And by "hammer" he meant that you should take your router and physically hit it against another router to "crack" it. Get it? Play on words? Anyone? Mom?

armadaender Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 After I posted that I thought for a second. "Hey, it would be cool to triangulate a laptop, maybe someone could do that to unsuspecting users in a park or something." Cool, I'd like to see how you do it and what results you get.

deathwarder Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 Well, if I could already use my current router with it, then it would be feasible. How do you tell the distance a device is from the router? What did you mean by a honeypot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armadaender Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Well, if I could already use my current router with it, then it would be feasible. How do you tell the distance a device is from the router? What did you mean by a honeypot? Ok, I'll say this before everyone one else goes nuts. When asking "what is <insert someting here>" or "How do I <insert something here>", google it or check on wikipedia. There is a wealth of information at your finger tips and simply taking a moment to search for it yourself will provide much faster results than waiting for one of us to respond to your posts. Honeypot definition, straight from Wikipedia And in terms of determining how far a device is away from a central spot, gps would have to be used. Well, I can think of another way but that's way too much math. I'm sure someone else has an idea or two as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eDgE Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 i know someone who found out the "proper" strength of a wireless network...by calculating the mean packets...quite clever...i dont think the same could be done with one router but with three, you could get a rough estimate because a router can only send packets a certain distance...if you hacked the firmware to also find the "real" strength, im sure it could be done, but only, as i said, to a certain point of accuracy... http://hackervoice.co.uk/forums/index.php?...781&hl=wifi theres the guys post who made it...i think its truly awesome...

Dankiswess Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I think that you should gut it and put one of those uber tiny mobos in it and make it a computer, but that's just me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a5an0 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Take out the guts and put them is a toaster. Now you have a linksys toaster AP. That would fall under he "because I could" catagory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
