scraping page links and history into database

router

widy working ok. would want a backup if keeping widy in place permanently.

Website with database of embedded dev boards: board-db.org

The Banana Pi R2 is designed with built-in switch hardware, so it's intended to be used as a Raspberry Pi for home routers, of sorts. Long term, this would be a good hardware platform.

Short term, need to use jtag to reflash Dropbear

Collectd on Widy

Widy USB pivot - complete

kali live usb

Kali/Persistent USB

  • question: how to persist e.g. keyboard preferences or installed software

kali networking

Network monitoring configuration setup:

Materials:

  • isp-provided router (internet-enabled port)
  • network tap device
  • security onion/network monitoring server on a separate management lan
  • "safe" gateway router for everybody

Set up the tap:

  • port 1 of the tap connects to isp
  • port 2 of the tap connects to safe router gateway, local wifi router
  • port 3 of the tap connects to the network monitor, which is receiving network traffic capture from the tap device

Bro:

  • Logs everything - but how to configure it? how to run it? what is the big picture?
  • How does it fit into the network architecture - is it analyzing the pile of packets that's coming in to the security onion server?

Network monitoring distros:

What this enables:

  • Now, instrumentation is in place to see what arp spoofing, MITM, honeypot, &c. look like

Next steps:

  • Networks: MITM, wifi, evil ap, honeypot
  • metasploit, sslstrip, certificate, frankencert
  • focus on communications and networking
  • pw credentials wall of sheep in a box

blog posts in progress

  • Project Euler 172
  • Project Euler 502
  • bootstrap table presenting results of Rubik's Cube investigation - Rubiks Cube/Bootstrap

jupiter oopsie

recovering from an accidental chmod of the entire /usr/lib directory.

Oops. Good thing it wasn't on Rojo. Aaaaand, a good reason to have a partition for the home directory.

Then reinstall. Then no wireless. Then reinstall with network connection.

Then back to the same stupid problems I've been having. Non-root user, not a sudoer, correct drivers not included. All stupid Debian stuff.

Meanwhile, on morpheus, I had installed security onion, then given up and gone back to kali, and wireless also broke.

Now... just... giving up. Back to Ubuntu.

Morpheus took a sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade and a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

  • organization over convenience - not as much sharing because generally static/fixed

debian deployment:

  • rojo copy dotfile changes over to debian repo
  • rojo apply changes, ensure nothing broken
  • jupiter apply changes, ensure nothing broken

mac deployment:

  • copy dotfiles from debian
  • copy python from debian
