This year also included a FREE wireless essentials training class. The class was taught by a team of world-class instructors including Mike Kershaw (drag0rn), author of the immensely popular <a href="http://www.kismetwireless.net/">Kismet</a> wireless tool, Russell Handorf from the FBI Cyber Squad, and Rick Farina, lead developer for <a href="http://www.pentoo.ch/">Pentoo</a>. The class covered everything from wireless basics to software-defined radio hacking. An absolutely amazing class. (excerpted from: <a href="http://blog.godshell.com/blog/archives/320-BSides-Delaware-2013.html">http://blog.godshell.com/blog/archives/320-BSides-Delaware-2013.html</a>)<br />
<br />
WOW.<br />
<br />
First slide I remember from presentation: "BECOME A HAM" You want to learn about wireless, become a ham.<br />
<br />
Sunday morning, ordered this: <a href="http://www.radioddity.com/us/baofeng-uv-5r-sp-mic-136-174-400-480mhz-dtmf-ctcss-dual-dand-fm-ham-radio-2.html">BaoFeng UV-5R</a> and began to study for my Technician License.<br />
<br />
Best advice ever. Hams are/were hackers. I guess ham clubs were the first hackerspaces. Natural fit for me.<br />

Thanks Jonathan and Crissi for all the hard work you do all year to make this event happen. I'd also like to thank all of the staff that assists with this event. Finally, I'd like to thank all that support and attend this local event.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://ubuntupennsylvania.org/" target="_blank">Ubuntu Local Community Team</a> always sponsors an <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2154886&p=12693454#post12693454" target="_blank">Installfest</a> at Fosscon. This year, we had an open Installfest. Any <a href="http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=major" target="_blank">distro</a> that wanted, could represent themselves and be part of the Installfest.<br />
<a href="http://fedoraproject.org/" target="_blank">Fedora</a> stepped up to that challenge. Ben and his wife drove all the way from North Carolina to represent Fedora. They are wonderful people and wonderful advocates. It was a pleasure working with them.<br />
<br />
The Installfest yielded 2 new installs and 1 issue resolution (performed by the Fedora Team). The 2 new installs came via <a href="http://ntrweb.org/" target="_blank">NTR</a>.<br />
<br />
Many Ubuntu-Us-PA members, alumni and friends were among the attendees at Fosscon. Some were speakers.<br />
<br />
Alumna Elizabeth Joseph was a <a href="http://fosscon.org/archives/832" target="_blank">speaker</a>.<br />
<br />
Member Brent Saner was a <a href="http://fosscon.org/archives/791" target="_blank">speaker</a>.<br />
<br />
Friend/Member by default, Walt Mankowski was a <a href="http://fosscon.org/archives/809" target="_blank">speaker</a>.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://fosscon.org/exhibits" target="_blank">Exhibitors</a> and <a href="http://fosscon.org/sponsors" target="_blank">Sponsors</a> entertained and informed all.<br />
<br />
Even Sunday, the day after Fosscon, some met at <a href="http://www.hive76.org/">Hive76</a> for an impromptu Hackfest.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://blog.phreewifi.org/">Project.Phree</a>, <a href="http://point.io/">point.io</a>, and <a href="http://ecere.com/" target="_blank">Ecere</a> were represented at the Hackfest on Sunday.<br />
<br />
Each year gets bigger and better. Help us keep this going.<br />

Also have been wanting to build a multi-channel controller for Cindy's Xmas light display. Easy build, just never got around to it. Decided to just order some <a href="http://www.powerswitchtail.com/Pages/default.aspx" target="_blank">Power Tails</a> and do it.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Unfortunately they didn't get here while her whole display was up. The nativity was down already, and of course, the infant Jesus was going to be the star.</div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Ben, and everyone, awesome *first* meeting. Welcome all newcomers to</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Hive76, I really hope you come around to open houses and let the rest</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">of the members meet you!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">While playing with the Rasberry Pi we did some stuff that was very</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Linux'y, but did it rather quickly to get the Pi running.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I will recap some of the things we did, and break down how they apply</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">to using Linux in an everyday situation:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">1) dd - we used to make a bit for bit copy of an iso to a card to boot the R pi.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">2) Getting sound to work, we covered many things quickly:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> a) alsamixer - a sound control app for alsa (it wasn't</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">installed in the distro), so you would think: sudo apt-get install</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">alsamixer (for Debian based distros)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> BUT that returns E: Couldn't find package alsamixer</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> WHY? because alsamixer is an app, part of a larger *package* of apps</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> HOW TO FIND? (**Debian based distos**)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> i) apt-cache search alsamixer</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> ii) apt-file (has to be installed and updated;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">contains all files available in repos for local</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> searching)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> iii) web based search of distro's packages</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> b) Still no worky *wonk wonk* But why Mommy? So we tried aplay -l</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> (which lists sound</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> devices on system)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> 1) returned nada zippo zero. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? It means</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">there is no module</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> installed for the device</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> HOW DO WE FIND module info? device info? *HELP* I'm drowning........</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> i) module commands - lsmod (list modules in use) modinfo</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">(list specific info for mod</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> parameters, etc.) modprobe (install module) rmmod</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">(remove module)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> ii) device info - lshw (list hardware all) lsusb (list usb</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">devices) lspci (list pci devices) ETC</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> *add* -v or more v's for more info (verbosity)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> Google - DDG - internet search device and module info</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">can usually be found too.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> c) modprobe snd-bcm2835 (installs proper module)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> d) aplay -l again to see if it worked - SUCCESS</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> e) alsamixer again to make sure nothing is muted - PCM must not be</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">muted and must be up</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> (others too on different systems, but PCM is a big fail point)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> f) OMG SOUND</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> g) next boot, have to modprobe again or no sound or add module to</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">/etc/modules to have it</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> install automagically at every boot.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">WOW - we did all that - YEP, and most of it can be applied to any</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">device that isn't recognized automagically for your Debian based</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">system - wireless stuff - anything.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Happy Hacking!</span></div>

<br />
Big kudos to all involved in making Philly Tech Week happen, and making it great.<br />
<br />
I am an event whore. I love getting out into the wild and promoting "Geek" to the masses; Linux, Electronics and all that falls in between.<br />
<br />
Our table generated a ton of interest. I think that we stood out because most of the other vendors had standard, corporate style show booths, and booth people, that had to be at the booth. It was work; a job.<br />
<br />
We, on the other hand, were at our vibrant, self-created table, showing things that we, or our friends, designed and brought to life. <i>We wanted to be there.</i> We want you to be there with us next year.<br />
<br />
I think people could 'feel' the difference. Attendees could feel the passion that we had as we engaged them, and ignited their passions.<br />
<br />
Hope to see some new visitors at Open Houses on Wednesday, stalking us on the mailings list, and grabbing the RSS of our site.<br />
<br />

Busy.<br />
<br />
Monday: <a href="http://hive76.org/">Hive76</a> <a href="http://www.hive76.org/mmmm-monitoring-motion">MMMM</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjbScdvj42M">The results.</a><br />
<br />
Thursday: <a href="http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/pennsylvania/1316/detail/">Ubuntu 11.10 Release Party</a> at <a href="http://www.nationalmechanics.com/">National Mechanics</a>.<br />
<br />
Back story: The <a href="http://ubuntupennsylvania.org/">Ubuntu PA Local Community Team</a> has suffered a little due to its success. Many of the original core members have moved out of state, and on to bigger and better things. Life has gotten in the way, with work and families. All good things, in their own rights, but has also created a decline in activity.<br />
<br />
More backstory: At <a href="http://blog.freenode.net/2011/07/fosscon-2011-philadelphia-pennsylvania-23rd-july-2011/">FOSSCON 2011</a>, the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CySZgPFmUZw">keynote address</a>, given by <a href="http://princessleia.com/journal/">Elizabeth Krumbach</a>, made me realize that if you aren't part of the solution, you are part of the problem. Thanks Lyz! So after being inspired at FOSSCON, I decided to take on the role of 'Team Contact' for the Ubuntu US PA Local Community Team (LoCo). In the Ubuntu Community, it is suggested that the Team Contact be an Ubuntu Member. So I applied, and was awarded <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership">Ubuntu Membership</a>.<br />
<br />
Back to the party, now that you're all caught up in the journey to get here. Organizing the Philly Area release parties, and the venues in the past, was a little easier with a strong core to ensure success. All we really had to do was agree on a location area, verify that we could all get there, and book a venue. I would just find what area everyone agreed would be ok, and then booked at one of my clients diners or bars.<br />
<br />
This time would be different. No real core. Lyz was going to be in town for the release day, and would be staying in Center City, Philadelphia. She suggested in irc that we have a release party since she would be in town.<br />
<br />
Brilliant.<br />
<br />
I asked my friends over at Hive76 where would be a good place in the Northern Liberty/Old City area to have a Release Party. (I really wanted to have it at <a href="http://barcadephiladelphia.com/">Barcade</a>, but their opening in time to adequately promote the event was questionable.) One of the suggestions was National Mechanics. I emailed them about our plans, and they were more than accommodating. I emailed the event info to <a href="http://geekadelphia.com/">GEEKADELPHIA</a>, and they tweeted and blogged it. Awesome, thank you so much.<br />
<br />
The morning of the party the RSVP list was looking like 20 people. Not bad. An email in the morning from the 732 area code (Central Jersey) asking if it was too late to come to the party. Never too late!<br />
<br />
National Mechanics had 2 tables reserved for us. I put out some leftover 11.04 cds from Software Freedom Day to mark our tables. The people started to come. The givens, me, Randy, Lyz and MJ.<br />
Then the magic started. The 2 brothers from PACS, waltman, Scott from PACS. Then the real magic started. The 'new' people. Sorry I couldn't get to everyone, but the 2 tables were so packed, and so much was going on.....it was.....pretty great!<br />
<br />
Things I noticed: an upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 on an eeepc by a <a href="http://pumpcon.org/">Pumpcon</a> organizer. (How cool is that?) A fresh install with an <a href="http://gallery.ubuntupennsylvania.org/v/20111013/IMG_2094_MED.JPG.html">awesome looking cd</a>. Cisco employee, Java developer, the NJ folk, and more. Everyone having a blast, checking out 11.10, and feeling all the geek empathy.<br />
<br />
Forums, irc, and mailing lists are ok, but when we get together, irl, it's really magical. We owe it to ourselves to do it more often.<br />
<br />
Thanks to all who came out, already looking forward to the next event.<br />
<br />
Saturday: <a href="http://pacsnet.org/groupsatpacs/linux/?p=80">PACS</a><br />
<br />
Great Geek Week.<br />

<br />
The word on the net was that the stock UI was a lttile lame. I began to explore the device with the stock UI. Not too bad. Then tried to install some apps that I was using on my phone. Too much drama. I got the device to play with it anyway.<br />
<br />
First mod: Cyanogen 6. Follow the <a href="http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Viewsonic_G_Tablet:_Full_Update_Guide">guide</a>, try to boot. No go. Soft <b>Brick. </b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
Thankfully, I found this<a href="http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/17150-recovery-nvflash-full-restore-using-either-11-or-12-based-images-g-tablet/"> link to reflash back to original</a>. It flashes back to pre-3588. Attempts to update via the original update app were failing. Possibly storm related.<br />
<br />
I moved forward anyway.<br />
<br />
This time, <a href="http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Viewsonic_G_Tablet:_Full_Update_Guide">Cyanogen 7</a> First attempt was thru ROM Manager. Fail. Have to pay to be able to download mods. Soft <b>Brick.</b><br />
<br />
Reflash back to original; see above.<br />
<br />
Try to update via stock firmware again. Fail. Blame it on the storm. Time to sleep, watch storm coverage and see what tomorrow brings.<br />
<br />
Awake, it's now Sunday. No storm drama here. Great. Continue with the Cyanogen 7 install, this time through the ClockworkMod Recovery option. <b>Success!</b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
It boots (all the first boots take 5-10 minutes) after rebuilding the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalvik_(software)">dalvik cache</a>. App it up, with all my favorite Android apps. Pretty good. Not great.<br />
<br />
Then, through Google, I find out that <a href="http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/install-android-3-0-honeycomb-rom-on-viewsonic-g-tablet-guide/">Honeycomb</a> has been ported to the Gtablet. Maybe I should try Honeycomb, this is for educational purposes, right?<br />
<br />
First 2 Honeycomb attempts <b>fail. </b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
Have to flash back to original firmware <b>before</b> flashing to Honeycomb. RTFM.<br />
<br />
Honeycomb boots, albeit slow; see above for why and don't panic. App it up, with all my favorite Android apps. Pretty good. Then I look for the camera app. <b>No camera with Honeycomb on Gtablet. </b>Why have it then?<br />
<br />
What to do? I have seen good things about <a href="http://vegantab.gojimi.com/">Vegan-tab</a>, and you've got to love the name.<br />
<br />
Re-flash back to original, install Vegan-tab, wait for boot. Awesome. It figures. The last mod I try, is the one I like the best.<br />
<br />
Still not crazy about the form factor. I need a harness or something.<br />
<br />

I like the idea of weekend open hours at the space, so I volunteered to host, even though as a '<a href="http://wiki.hive76.org/Membership_Information">dismember</a>' I would need a member to let me in. <a href="http://technicallyphilly.com/2011/02/10/hive76-%E2%80%9Cif-we-knew-what-we-were-doing-we-wouldn%E2%80%99t-be-hackers-we%E2%80%99d-be-engineers%E2%80%9D">Brendan</a> stepped up to let me in.<br />
<br />
Aaron from <a href="http://pacsnet.org/">PACS</a> stopped by to check out the space. I let him play with my <a href="http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/">Teensy</a>. Then 5 people from <a href="http://space1026.com/">space1026</a> stopped by!<br />
<br />
I am amazed how many artists are interested in technology. Unfortunately, they were interested in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72XhdVqDT1g&feature=BFa&list=PL532DC01F548EE15C&lf=plpp">Artemis</a>, and I am not familiar enough with Artemis or the Hive76 computers to get a game going. Hopefully, they will watch for the next official Artemis action and come back.<br />
<br />
On the ride home, while browsing the web, I saw that HP was discontinuing the <a href="http://www.hp.com/united-states/webos/us/en/tablet/touchpad.html">Touchpad</a> and support for WebOS. Blowing out all tablets for $99/149 respectively. I tried to buy a $99 Touchpad, but they were already sold out.<br />
<br />
That was ok. I really don't like the form factor anyway.<br />
<br />
Then <a href="http://woot.com/">Woot.com</a> had the <a href="http://www.viewsonic.com/gtablet/">Viewsonic Gtablet</a> on Monday. Too much temptation to handle. I Woot'd it.<br />
<br />
Amazingly, the Viewsonic Gtablet arrived on Saturday, about 14 hours before we were supposed to be in the midst of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Irene_(2011)">Hurricane Irene</a>. Perfect timing. When better to have a new toy, than during a storm? Plug it in and charge it, prepare house(s) for storm, and then......the green light on the tablet. All charged and ready to go.<br />
<br />
To be continued, let the hacking begin.<br />

The 500 available sold out in 6<a href="http://threatpost.com/en_us/blogs/sign-times-shmoocon-tickets-scalped-ebay-120810"> seconds</a>. <div><br /></div><div>Reserved my hotel room at the Hilton in Washington. Waited.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Wednesday night before the Shmoo weekend we were hit with a snowstorm. I ended up working 36 hours those 2 days (Wed & Thurs).</div><div><br /></div><div>Friday in the office to pay everyone, down to Delaware to see some clients, and then leave for Shmoo. </div><div><br /></div><div>5 miles into my ride, after visiting my clients, my transmission starts to slip. Won't stay in drive; keeps dropping to second. <b><i>WTF!!</i></b></div><div><b><i><br /></i></b></div><div>As I limp back to Abington, PA, I cancel my hotel reservations and put my barcodes on ebay at face value.</div><div><br /></div><div>I arrive home, dejected. My wife offers her car, which I decline. I sell one of my barcodes. I decide to try to get my father-in-law's Cadillac de-snowed and charged up. 4 hours later, in the Caddy, around midnight, I leave for Shmoocon.</div><div><br /></div><div>I tried to re-book rooms at the Hilton, but the conference rooms were sold out and the regular rates were over $100 more per night. I ended up getting a room directly across the street at the Marriott. It's now 4am, Saturday morning, but I am at Shmoo.</div><div><br /></div><div>9am Saturday morning I head across the street, grab a breakfast sandwich, double shot of espresso, and 'Let the Shmoo begin!'.</div><div><br /></div><div>Register and get my Shmoo bag and all the assorted goodies. Go to the <a href="http://www.shmoocon.org/speakers#printerpwnd">printer talk</a>, then head to the <a href="http://www.shmoocon.org/lockpick_village">lockpick village</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div>Meet <a href="http://deviating.net/lockpicking/">Deviant Ollam</a>. I purchase a set of <a href="http://deviating.net/lockpicking/equipment.html">tools</a>. Stay for the <a href="http://deviating.net/lockpicking/slides/lockpick_village.ppt">beginner class</a>. See some people that I chatted with at the coffee shop before registering. We sit down, and begin picking the ONE pin lock. Hours later, having picked the one, two, and 3 pin locks, I leave to grab something to eat at the <a href="http://www1.hilton.com/en_US/hi/hotel/DCAWHHH-Washington-Hilton-District-of-Columbia/dining.do#3">McClellan's</a> at the hotel. Sit at the bar, and order the crabcake sandwich. The bartender was very attentive, the food was ok too. Conversation with nearby geek was very good as well.</div><div><br /></div><div>Back to the Con to check out the books, the <a href="http://johnny.ihackstuff.com/">Johnny Long Hack for Charity Table</a>, and all the stuff going on. Ultimately, head back to the Lockpick Village. There is a round of '<a href="http://deviating.net/lockpicking/gringo/about.html">Gringo Warrior</a>' being played. Joey is the contestant. WOW...3 minutes and thirty seconds and a <a href="http://deviating.net/lockpicking/gringo/scores/">score</a> of 430.</div><div><br /></div><div>Joey then joins us noobs at the table and starts to assist us with our lockpicking. Great community. Others stop by and offer their Zen picking advice as well. End up picking a master lock, and revisiting (for my ego) the one, two and three pins. It's now 5pm, all the talks are over. Most are getting ready for the parties later that night. Starting at 8pm are the <a href="http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=videos/shmoocon-firetalks-2011">firetalks</a>, and the <a href="http://www.shmoocon.org/get_lamp">Get Lamp</a> screening.</div><div><br /></div><div>I then run into, and say hello to <a href="http://twitter.com/hak5darren">Darren</a> from <a href="http://www.hak5.org/">Hak5</a>, as we both head to McClellan's to grab something to eat. Also, have seen <a href="http://www.irongeek.com/">Irongeek</a>, <a href="http://www.hak5.org/w/index.php/Shannon_Morse">Shannon</a>, and <a href="http://twitter.com/jasonappelbaum">Jason</a> running around the con, too.</div><div><br /></div><div>Again to the bar for something to eat. the bartender recommends the fillet sliders. Pretty good, and great conversation with another barmate. I head across the street to my hotel to regroup.</div><div><br /></div><div>On my way back across the street, I see the only person I really knew before the con, Jfrost, heading down the street with a group of folks.</div><div><br /></div><div>I head back, but giving the incidents of work and vehicle leading up to Shmoo, I decided just to go back to the hotel and rest. Lame; I know.</div><div><br /></div><div>Sunday morning, head back to the con to grab souvenirs, do a final walk-through, and head back. At the Lockpick Village, Hak5 is taping a round of Gringo Warrior for one of their episodes. <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/Doctor_Tran">DrTran</a> (from Philly) is the contestant, so I join the crowd to cheer him on. Grabbed a teeshirt from Johnny Long I Hack Charities, "<a href="http://nostarch.com/ghpython.htm">Gray Hat Python</a>" from No Starch Press, and "<a href="http://www.syngress.com/hacking-and-penetration-testing/Professional-Penetration-Testing/">Professional Penetration Testing</a>" by Thomas Wilhelm from Syngress.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Before I left, I had the chance to welcome <a href="http://www.spacerogue.net/wordpress/">Space Rogue</a> and the <a href="http://www.hackernews.com/">Hacker News Network</a> to Philadelphia. He recently moved to Philly. We chatted a bit about the <a href="http://www.phillysec.com/">PhillySec</a> group, <a href="http://www.hive76.org/">Hive76</a>, and Philly tech in general. I felt a little fanboy'ish; but whatever.</div><div><br /></div><div>Not bad. Definitely could have been better, but those elements were outside my control.</div><div><div><br /></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129594365288385298.post-47471609845523746392010-12-26T18:22:00.002-05:002010-12-26T18:34:32.576-05:00SkypeSkype - Ubuntu - Acer Netbook<br /><br />Everything works, except for builtin microphone.<br /><br />install pavucontrol (Pulse Audio Control)<br /><br />Silence right input channel.

Actually started as something to do for <a href="http://www.hive76.org/">Hive76</a>'s hackathon, but that never materialized. Well, the hackathon materialized, but this part of the hackathon never materialized.<div>
<br /></div><div>Penetration testing is cool. It just is. It is also a decent back-handed way to introduce people to the Linux command line and not have them come in with the preconceived notion that it is difficult and not for them. Didn't realize that part until right now.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>Nothing fancy, nothing too hard. Concepts, tools, and thinking. </div><div>
<br /></div><div>The setup was fairly simple. De-ice-1.100 live cd in a vmware machine connected to a wireless router, SSID sploit_me.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>Audience participawnage was the key. Seeing is ok; doing is so much better. </div><div>
<br /></div><div>The highlight for me, was when PhD Russ squealed aloud when a password was cracked. That's what it's all about! (I recently had the same outburst over a blinking led and a msp-430)</div><div>
<br /></div><div>Ken, the <a href="http://pacsnet.org/groupsatpacs/security/">security special interest group</a> leader at <a href="http://pacsnet.org/">PACS</a>, wrote up a recap:</div><div><blockquote></blockquote><meta equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "></span></div><blockquote><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">Thanks to all who attended the hands on HACKFEST workshop this
<br />month. The turnout and participation was fantastic!
<br />
<br /> Jim from the Linux SIG led us all through the process of thinking
<br />our way through a simulated penetration test of a hypothetical corporation's
<br />web server. Starting with establishing a connection to the sploit_me
<br />wireless network, we then reconnoitered the factious company's website for
<br />clues that we could use to gain access to privileged information on their
<br />servers. Using Nmap, we scanned their network for possible entry points in
<br />the form of running services with possible well known weaknesses. We also
<br />did a parallel scan using netcat.
<br />
<br /> After determining that an SSL port was open and secure shell was
<br />running, we proceeded to brute force the user ids and passwords using medusa
<br />and hydra -- two password probing tools. A brief discussion of password
<br />security and research about the potential targets ensued during the
<br />execution of the brute forcing tools.
<br />
<br /> The brute force attack resulted in compromising one account which go
<br />us on to the system so that we could see what other accounts were present
<br />and with what privileges they ran (/etc/passwd on linux/Unix, SAMS on
<br />windows). Using these other accounts we brute forced another password using
<br />medusa and hydra, at which point we were able to gain administrator (root)
<br />level access to the system so that we could download the encrypted passwords
<br />file.
<br />
<br /> Running that password file through the john the ripper password
<br />cracking tool (alternatively Googling the hash value) allowed us to finally
<br />gain full root access where upon we ran out of time.
<br />
<br /> We received much positive feedback on the event and we plan on doing
<br />another one in the future.

It amazes me that organizations don't utilize this technology to develop labs and classrooms that are low-cost and energy efficient.<br /><br />Thanks to <a href="http://bitbucket.org/d_m">eric (d_m)</a> from <a href="http://www.hive76.org/">Hive76</a>, I acquired a <a href="http://www.6thplanet.com/store/technical/cos_poweredge1400.html">Dell PowerEdge 1400sc Server</a>, running dual p3 1000 MHz processors with 512 MB of ram.<br /><br />Not an ideal box for a rolling LTSP setup as the damn thing weighs a ton, but a nice box. So here's the setup:<br /><br />Description: Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.7 (lenny)<br />Linux version 2.6.26-2-686 (Debian 2.6.26-26lenny1)<br /><br />Then I ordered and add max ram - 4 512 sticks (1 bad), so currently:<br /><br /> total used free shared buffers cached<br />Mem: 1816360 1748252 68108 0 117004 1277088<br />-/+ buffers/cache: 354160 1462200<br /><br />Using so much, because LTSP setup and running and writing this blog post.<br /><br />I could probably run 4 more clients successfully max. More testing/stressing to come.<br /><br /><a href="http://wiki.debian.org/LTSP/Howto">Debian LTSP installation guide</a>.<br /><br />That will get you installed.<br /><br />Package: ltsp-server-standalone<br />State: installed<br />Automatically installed: no<br />Version: 5.1.10-2<br /><br />Some LTSP notes: users and apps installed to server, not to chroot.

<br /></div>Thank you AT&T. After the 'update' to 2.1-update1 the usb tethering no longer worked automagically. In fact, the whole option disappeared.<div>
<br /></div><div>I kind of liked the option of tethering, even though I have an Aircard 860 wireless laptop connect card. When FIOS went down after a lightning strike, the tethering really came in handy. Also, my netbook doesn't support pcmcia, so the card is useless for that box.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>The odd thing is, when I plug it in, with usb debugging ON, network-manager-gnome starts, and tries to setup up a new wireless broadband connection. The connection finds the phone, sets it up for At&t, but doesn't connect. </div><div>
<br /></div><div>So, plan B:</div><div>
<br /></div><div>1) Add your user to the dip group (sudo adduser user dip)*user is your user name*</div><meta equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div>
<br /></div><div>2) Add your user to the dialout group (sudo adduser user dialout) *user is your user name*</div><div>

Please bow your head in a moment of silence. Of course, I had just purchased a new sim card and 3<a href="http://store.treoaddicts.com/content/accessories/4-23--182.htm"> new </a><a href="http://store.treoaddicts.com/content/accessories/4-23--182.htm">aluminum</a><div><a href="http://store.treoaddicts.com/content/accessories/4-23--182.htm">cases</a> for it! But alas, too many random reboots, so time to get a new phone. </div><div> </div><div>My carrier, <a href="http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phones/pda-phones-smartphones.jsp">At&t</a> doesn't currently carry anything that I really wanted. First choice, an android option; no go. Second choice, Palm Pre; again no go. I had to go with the <a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/apple-iphone-3g-8gb/4505-6452_7-33064709.html">Iphon</a>e. Refurbished, $49.00, not bad at all. I have purchased the apps I need, <a href="http://www.mochasoft.dk/iphone_vnc.htm">mocha VNC</a>, and <a href="http://www.zinger-soft.com/iSSH_features.html">iSSH</a> program, really not that bad. Sync via Exchange to ONE of my Google Apps Domains; mail, calendar, and contacts. Everything else I need I can access via the web connection. So far, pretty nice device.</div><div>And I jammed the Iphone into the Treo aluminum case; fits real well, just have to pop the phone a little out of the case to use camera.</div><div> </div><div>My mobile setup has been a little shakey, the <a href="http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=2360">Toshiba A75 Laptop</a> that I use seems to draw a lot of current. It has been hacked with a devil tail, an external ac adapter plug, because of the <a href="http://www.laptoprepair101.com/laptop/2006/01/28/toshiba-satellite-m35x-a75-power-jack-problem/">bad connection on the motherboard</a>, but it kicks my 400 watt inverter off. This has become troublesome because I need the laptop to work always in the van - so I have switched the mobile laptop to my <a href="http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=2376">Dell 6000</a>. During the switch, I noticed that the cigarette lighter adapter plug to the inverter had melted a little. No problem; I have a spare 200 watt inverter - that works fine with the Dell. More on this whole situation as things develop - need to get new power wire for the 400 watt and find out why the Toshiba is drawing so much current.</div><div> </div><div>During my daily review of <a href="http://lifehacker.com/">Lifehacker</a>, I saw this cool article:</div><div> </div><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style=" font-weight: bold; line-height: 20px; font-family:'Lucida Grande';font-size:12px;"><a href="http://lifehacker.com/5335216/make-your-own-url-shortening-service" class="super-permalink" title="Click here to read Make Your Own URL Shortening Service" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 100%; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(197, 129, 68); border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-color: rgb(120, 110, 41); text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; ">Make Your Own URL Shortening Service</a></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" font-weight: bold; line-height: 20px;font-family:'Lucida Grande';font-size:48px;"> </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 20px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Got it all setup on my <a href="http://www.dreamhost.com/">Dreamhost</a> account - gave it a whirl - seems to work</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">.

Seriously, I get infuriated when people come to Linux and give no effort to learn a NEW OS. Yes people, this is a different OS. It is NOT free Windows. If the masses, or at least 7 to 9% of them, would give Linux the same amount of learning time as they give to Apple, I am sure we would have an awesome market share. End of that rant.<br /><br />Now to my gripe. My gripe is not really Linux, although I initially blamed Linux. Heck, that is the easiest thing to do; right? I have been syncing my Treo 650 with Linux successfully, on and off, for about a year now. I use a usb cable, and sync to both Jpilot and Evolution (via gpilotd).<br /><br />Friday night, as I prepared to sync my phone, I went through my routine; open a terminal window and issue: tail -f /var/log/messages, so I can see my device get recognized and watch it get assigned. Open Jpilot and get ready to hit the Hotsync button after I initiate the Hotsync on the phone. When you initiate the Hotsync on the phone is when the device gets assigned. Hit Hotsync on the phone....nada. Nothing happens. Do this repeatedly, rinse, repeat. Nothing. WTF. Why can't things just work. Especially the stuff I have already had to hack together, that we then fixed, and no longer have to duct tape together.<br /><br />When I started playing this sync game I had to write custom udev rules to make Treo get recognized, then the developers fixed that. Yay!<br /><br />Then you had to have the right device, by watching the /var/log/messages so the apps, (Jpilot and pilotd) knew where to gather the info from. It could be /dev/ttyUSB1 or 3 or 5, depending on how incessantly fast I hit the hotsync button on phone. Device assigned in pairs, the latter is the one that communicates with apps; so assigned 0 and 1, 2 and 3, and so on.<br /><br />Then the developers fixed that, so by setting the device in the apps as usb: it would communicate with the last assigned of the last pair. NICE. I guess many of us were clicking like lunatics, a practice I also deplore in others.<br /><br />See, I have a little history with this nonsense. But, right about now, I just want it to work. Friday night it wouldn't work.<br /><br />I look at my usb connector for the phone; many little pins, maybe a bad connection. Alcohol and cotton ball and clean the contacts on the bottom of the phone. No go. Clean more. Nope. Jiggle the connector. Hold connector to phone applying pressure up, down, left, right. More alcohol (same cotton ball, only had one). It connected. GREAT.<br /><br />It dropped the connection.<br /><br />That's it. I am done. No more physical (usb cable) hotsyncs. Time to get bluetooth working. Really working. Completely. Hotsync and all.<br /><br />Previously, because someone else had questions about bluetooth, (which is usually how and why I get hacking stuff) I got bluetooth file sharing to work. Files from computer, and files to computer. Never tried to get hotsync working. Now it was imperative.<br /><br />Coming next; Sync with bluetooth and bluetooth file sharing. Stay tuned.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129594365288385298.post-42077593434744383202009-06-14T18:57:00.015-05:002010-01-27T19:21:55.442-05:00Thinkpad A21m - Jaunty - Window Managers/DE'sThis Saturday Project was the IBM Thinkpad A21m:<br /><br />model name : Pentium III (Coppermine)<br />cpu MHz : 700.000<br /><br />Mem: 121520<br /><br />I think that this machine should be able to handle Ubuntu Jaunty, so I give that a whirl.<br /><br />Unfortunately, Gnome Desktop environment put too much of a strain on it, so once again, it's time to find the best Window Manager/Desktop Environment for this particular machine.<br /><br />The Players:<br />1) Gnome Desktop<br />2) Xubuntu Desktop (whole meta package)<br />3) lxde<br />4) Fluxbox<br />5) Openbox<br />6) E16 (Enlightenment)<br /><br />The install was a full-blown Ubuntu Jaunty install. After the Gnome failure, I added Xubuntu-desktop, lxde, fluxbox, openbox, and e16. I then removed the ubuntu-desktop.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"></span><blockquote><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">*Note*</span> I chose to start with the full install to create a machine that was as end-user friendly as possible. I have in the past used the 'CLI only' install via the F6 install disk boot option. This CLI only option is fine for me, but again, for the typical end-user it may not be complete enough.</blockquote>The Jaunty boot time is a very respectable ONE minute and 5 seconds.<br /><br />Now to the Window Managers. A quick chart to show from login manager to complete window manager readiness:<br /><br />Gnome (Ubuntu) 2 minutes 50 seconds<br />Xfce (Xubuntu) 2 minutes 20 seconds<br />Lxde 25 seconds<br />Fluxbox 24 seconds<br />Openbox 5 seconds<br />E16 5 seconds<br /><br />The responsiveness of the above window managers seems to be directly proportional to their load times.<br /><br />I do realize that xlde is an Openbox derivative, but that 20 extra seconds adds configuration that I feel may be relevant to the typical end-user; desktop icons, panel with launchers, etc.<br /><br />I again, would probably use e16, although, openbox has me interested as well. But for the purpose of this machine's build,the typical end-user; the choice is lxde.<br /><br />Application preferences so far:<br /><br />File Manager: Thunar over Pcmanfm<br />Web Browser: Epiphany over Firefox<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129594365288385298.post-77525495708165998322009-06-07T09:29:00.004-05:002009-07-05T10:33:53.583-05:00Van Laptop Mounted Professionally<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmY8CGrPLag1Y9UcQ1Zo3xEmxqOkpYysUqET8VJPTzMsQA2de4jGMA3oBW-S0prqWO0gRRlVhgaO2cT1F7nLG2lPbV3WcLdTRywOgdiKC6-t1_3WQvtc1C-hqo-cuUTV-QCIKpsbD4qEfB/s1600-h/lap_mount2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmY8CGrPLag1Y9UcQ1Zo3xEmxqOkpYysUqET8VJPTzMsQA2de4jGMA3oBW-S0prqWO0gRRlVhgaO2cT1F7nLG2lPbV3WcLdTRywOgdiKC6-t1_3WQvtc1C-hqo-cuUTV-QCIKpsbD4qEfB/s200/lap_mount2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354999664781558210" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIA335dPt-ZVoqdnr6IAhaax0t4LXnnkj4AQ463Yv8zMvZd45dD03inUc1JltBarTWwj0PaAcCq848c8gBeFQTEyn0zv6_MYLMK1i__4HMHmBxFf-jahhTscxaTuCYNQa7o_CDozwa12vv/s1600-h/lap_mount.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIA335dPt-ZVoqdnr6IAhaax0t4LXnnkj4AQ463Yv8zMvZd45dD03inUc1JltBarTWwj0PaAcCq848c8gBeFQTEyn0zv6_MYLMK1i__4HMHmBxFf-jahhTscxaTuCYNQa7o_CDozwa12vv/s200/lap_mount.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354999578531954498" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This Saturday project was installing <a href="http://www.ram-mount.com/nodrillsystems/nodrillbases.htm">Ram Mount Laptop</a> vehicle mount in the van.
