b0N3z Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I just got my Packet Squirrel and am quite excited to start playing around with it. Only one problem. I run linux on everything and I have formatted 2 different usb disks to work with tcpdump with no luck so far. I have formatted both to EXT4 and they read on my rpi but for some reason doing a "$ df -h" on the PS, it wont show the usb disk. Everytime I try to run TCPDUMP I get and LED sequence or R,G,B. Can anybody shed some light on this for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0N3z Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 ****EDIT**** With some quick reading of the setup guide, you can either format the usb disk yourself or if you plug it into the Squirrel, you can type "$ reformat_usb" and that has worked out just fine. Guess I jumped the gun on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Make sure the USB disk actually has a partition on it. I have a rather large collection of USB disks from conferences over the years. I keep 'em since many of 'em use the generic USB Rubber Ducky case, printed with company logos :) An odd thing I noticed while testing the Packet Squirrel prototype. A small number of disks couldn't be read, even after being formatted in either NTFS or EXT4. As it turns out, they had no partition at all - they were just a block device without a single partition. It was strange. After creating a partition with gparted or similar there wasn't an issue. Anyway - as you've discovered the reformat_usb command makes it right as rain.
