If you just jailbreak your iPhone and installed cydia, there is a default ssh server running with the following password : ‘alpine’. To connect, just try (assuming your iPhone IP is 192.168.1.103) :
# ssh root@192.168.1.103
root@192.168.1.103’s password:
iPhone-de-benoit:~ root#

Happy new year 2011 to everybody ! and to start this new year, here is a small IPv6 tips to discover all IPv6 machines in a network :
# ping6 ff02::1%eth0
or
# ping6 -I eth0 ff02::1
according to the ping6 version.
This will return IPv6 addresses of all machines connected on the said interfaces. For instance :
64 bytes from fe80::4261:86ff:fe00:5a6: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.016 ms
In order to connect to it with ssh, it’s all easy :
$ ssh root@fe80::4261:86ff:fe00:5a6%eth0

The WRT350Nv2 Linksys router is a 802.11bgn router (so, operating only in the 2.4GHz band). Its use with the original firmware is impossible since it is nearly impossible to connect using Wi-Fi, even with the use of the latest Linksys firmware (incredible isn’t it?). After installing OpenWrt within few minutes, the Wi-Fi connection has been working right away. Here are the installation steps: Read more…

802.11 hardware adds padding on RX packets and removes padding on TX packets. Morever, mac80211, the generic Linux 802.11 software stack expects some alignments on RX packets. As such, software drivers need to deal with all those constraints to avoid spurious or missing bytes to show up.

In order to stay up to date with ath9k linux driver, I decided to test it on a laptop. I have used an AR5418 (MB72) miniPCI card for this test and wireless-testing kernel (v2.6.32-rc7-43014-g505f756). I wanted to use this card in order to monitor 802.11n networks. Here is the result.

GRE stands for Generic Routing Encapsulation and it is a standard protocol defined in [RFC2784] and [RFC1701]. So far it has been used mainly for building IPv4 tunnels over IPv4. In this article, we will show you how to use it for building Ethernet tunnels over IPv4 using “Transparent Ethernet Bridging”.

I have been wondering what was virtual Ethernet pair Linux driver and how to use it. In fact, the principle is quite simple. As soon as you have created a pair of Ethernet like devices, each packet send at one side is received at the other side. Here is a quick tutorial on using it.
