Packet Squirrel won't connect to the network


beginner123

Recommended Posts

Whenever I try to connect my packet squirrel to the network to run the TCPDump payload, it never makes the connection and fails. In the "Available Networks" on my computer I see it trying to connect, it says "Identifying Network No Internet" then disappears without ever actually connecting. 

I plugged the ethernet cable on the power side to my computer and the ethernet on the USB side to the network switch. Maybe I am doing something wrong, I'm not sure

If anyone can help that would be great

What are you referring to here? The target computer or the Squirrel?

Any LED indications on the Squirrel?

The computer isn't recognizing the squirrel as an ethernet adapter and so nothing is getting routed through it.

in terms of LED it starts blinking green then solid green then blinking blue for about two seconds and then finally slow blinking red (which from what I understood is FAIL)

The computer shouldn't recognize the Squirrel at all since the TCPDump payload runs in NETMODE TRANSPARENT

However, blinking red indicates that no USB storage device was found (when it comes to the TCPDump payload). Do you have a properly formatted USB storage device attached to the Squirrel?

Yes I formatted it to NFTS

First, I would try to reformat the USB storage device and make sure it's got one partition and not just a block device. If possible, try EXT4 as well. Also try different USB storage devices in case it's something with the one you are using that the Squirrel doesn't "like" for some reason.

Second, I would check /etc/hotplug.d/block/20-usb as well and make sure it mounts to /mnt and not some other directory.

I've tried it with a different USB, made sure to have at least one partition and checked that it is mounting to /mnt and still it is not showing up

Ok, the command not available on the Squirrel, skip that, didn't remember it wasn't installed out of the box

Anyway, the USB storage device isn't available as a device in /dev and the only thing I can think of is that it's not formatted in a proper way. I only use Windows for office stuff so I'm normally using Linux for everything else and I would use gparted to make sure the USB storage device is all OK for use along with the Squirrel.

Ok, so do you think there is anything else I can do?

I really appreciate all the help, thank you
