Hi I need to download my Endian Firewall development environment from my VPS in the US. I'm having platform issues with the cross compiling, so want to move it to my desktop thats running 32 bit Fedora. I'm in a rural area in Hamilton and having connectivity issues. The devel env is about 8Gb if tar gziped. At the moment my work goes to my Sourceforge project Endian Toolbox<http://sourceforge.net/projects/efw-toolbox/> . If you have access to bandwidth and can help please email me off the list. Regards Gregory Machin http://www.linuxpro.co.nz/

NB: Due to the NZCS 50th Anniversary Conference ( http://www.innovation.org.nz) there will be no National Series event next month. Hacked: Teaching the Good Guys Bad Tricks You can't fight a war that you don't know you're waging. You can't defend your website against attack unless you know the tricks that the bad guys will use. Join Andy Prow, Managing Director of Aura Software Security, as he demonstrates and discusses attacks and defences in action. By the end of this session you'll have an understanding of some of the common attacks such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Cross-Domain Request Forgery (CDRF), and will have an appreciation of how layering your defences (defence-in-depth) can help protect you from exploit chaining. The session will also give you some practical tips that you can apply straight away to help you design, build and manage more secure websites. Note: Light lunch provided. Free for NZCS members, inexpensive for others. Registration required at the following URL: http://www.nzcs.org.nz/events/waikato_bop/204-Hacked Regards, David Hallett, BSc, MNZCS ITCP P.O.

Slingshot dialup not authenticating
by Michael McDonald 07 Aug '10

07 Aug '10

Just been tearing my hair out with trying to set up a temporary system (using Suse!! - also Lighthouse Puppy) for a friend on dialup. Couldn't get wvdial to work, kppp was doing some strange things (including query modem not talking to the modem!). Eventually discovered minicom which enabled me to talk to the modem manually. Dialled Xtra ... fine and clear prompts coming back. Dialled slingshot ... couldn't make head or tail of what came back - reminded me of the results of mismatched send/receive speeds. Anyone got any clues. MS Windows connects fine, so that might be the only answer. Michael

Jaycar has them, but at $83.00, I can wait a week or three before picking one up. I still get plenty out of the Linux box, the only toy I haven't got on there is GIMP image software. I downloaded the binary but there is a whole bunch of dependencies I need to have first. Im patient, I can wait a wee while. Glenn.

route table
by Glenn Morrissey 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

I formatted and reinstalled Linux this morning, so as to remove the possibility I have accidently changed a file. Here is the result of changing my route table: route -F add default gw 169.254.214.162 [169.254.214.162 is the IPv4 address of my windows machine.] glenn(a)glenn-desktop:/sbin$ route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 10.42.43.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0 link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth0 glenn(a)glenn-desktop:/sbin$ route -F add default gw 169.254.214.162 SIOCADDRT: Operation not permitted glenn(a)glenn-desktop:/sbin$ sudo route -F add default gw 169.254.214.162 glenn(a)glenn-desktop:/sbin$ route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 10.42.43.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0 link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth0 default 169.254.214. 162 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 glenn(a)glenn-desktop:/sbin$ Does that look in order?

Id love to come down but I'm stuck in Auckland for the moment. My OS is: Ubuntu Version 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx 64 Bit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IPv4 method options: Automatic (DHCP) Automatic (DHCP) Addresses only Manual Link-local only Shared to other computers. IPv6 method Options: Ignore Automatic Automatic, Addresses only Link-local only Shared To other computers ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is the output from /sbin$./route -n command: glenn(a)glenn-desktop:/sbin$ ./route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 10.42.44.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 eth0 glenn(a)glenn-desktop:/sbin$ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- IPv4 Windows Box: 10.42.44.10. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- And the output from /etc$ cat hosts glenn(a)glenn-desktop:/etc$ cat hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 glenn-desktop # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts glenn(a)glenn-desktop:/etc$ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- When I type in: glenn(a)glenn-desktop:-$ host Google.com ;;connection timed out; no servers could be reached glenn(a)glenn-desktop:-$ Interesting question: why when I run ifconfig in Windows does the IPv4 default gateway show as my Linux box's IP address??? That's surely not right. And when I have my network plugged in sometimes my mail fails to send, as in cant reach server. I wonder if the windows box is looking at the Linux box as a server. I can't imagine why though. What ever it is its playing mary hell with my dialup connection. Glenn.

Modem
by Glenn Morrissey 26 Jul '10

26 Jul '10

Just got the word from the people at linmodems that dialup modems are not supported on 64 bit versions of linux. Thats not catastrophic, I can use my Windows laptop to connect to the net and internet share across my home network, until I can get ADSL. Now all I have to do is make my Linux system communicate with my windows laptop. I have manually configured my networking settings on my Linux system, and can ping both ways, but cant get internet sharing up and running. I think the problem is with settings on my windows laptop.

Switch

Hi all, would the fact that I am using a switch with regular network cables make a difference? Im not using a crossover cable. Glenn.
