Is there a search program or file manager that will search for file types/categories?
IE: video files, audio files image files?

  Nexx WT3020H (the other dropbox)
Posted by: bitsnpcs - 10-26-2018, 08:14 PM - Forum: Tutorials - No Replies

Hello,

also arrived today is (my highly excited order) the Nexx WT3020H, it cost £9.98 and free postage.

This is claimed to be the Worlds smallest router. It is tiny, 2 will fit on top of a Raspberry Pi 3.
It is OpenWRT compliant/supported.

It comes with a booklet showing diagrams of a variety of ways to connect it up and use it.
Also in the packet is the router and the power lead to usb.

It has 2 ethernet connections(WAN/LAN), power socket, USB port, and built in Wifi.

Example - I plugged from the router through this then used the second port to a desktop, and connected the power to mains supply via a usb to socket adapter. It worked fine but it can do much more.

Another use and my reason for buying this is as a drop box. (example uses of a dropbox are shown on Mr.Robot)

This is where you attach it like above on to someones (my own) network, you can then access that network using the wifi inside this little router.
You can also connect using SSH.<< which is what I want to practice using a raspberry pi's as I am just learning ssh (from The Linux Command Line book) so it would be silly to make my desktop into a ssh server.

The USB port can hold a USB flash drive to store packets you sniff/capture from the network traffic. Which you then access via the wifi.

Another way I have seen was to connect it to a raspberry pi and using Kali Linux, this way you can also do a wide range of other things, which I may as well learn too, after having bought it and with all the setting up I'll have to do for it etc

If you order one make sure it is the H at the end of the model name as the other models are 3G or 4G and need a sim card inserted in them, the H model does not use a sim card.
It looks a bit difficult to set up, but also looks like it can be a fun device to learn some things about networks.
I hope it was interesting, or useful for someone.

  Blueway N9000
Posted by: bitsnpcs - 10-26-2018, 06:41 PM - Forum: Tutorials - No Replies

Hello,
another one tested today, this costs £7.20 and free postage on eBay.
In the box, comes the adapter, a small omni directional antenna, a mini disc of Beini (Tiny Core Linux it says, but we have LL) , this cd is different metallic green with pink love hearts on it, and pink baby bottle caps, this is obviously the baby-girl version Wink and the manual of cracking that poor neighbours wifi again, but this time it has baby pink surroundings and dividers.For customs purposes it was described as a "reservoir" (for storing the Ap's).
There is a newer model of this but it wasn't too different and this was cheaper.
Looks wise, it is like 100%+ better build than any other wifi adapter I have, the top doesn't flex it is slimline but you can see it is thick acrylic, the top and base are high gloss black, the sides are red.It has an integrated spring clip on its back already fitted. This could clip on to say the curtains, car visor, or a bag.
This is Made in China.
It was tested on the desk using LinSSID.
It finds with its default antenna 11 Ap's, it's not bad as its an obviously weak antenna, and likely how the costs have been cut.I thought, dont worry baby I know you have power, dropped the 16dBi omni and he jumped to 31 Ap's almost instantly, and his blue led danced away, its got a blue led that's not blinding as the black cover has no cut out for it so it subdues its intensity nicely.

I have not yet tried it with the Cannon antenna (the 58dBi directional from the Linfox thread, I discovered its name online)

I definitely like this one because of its very solid case build, its got some red highlights which is always nice (to me), the integral rear clip means it can handle the long 16dBi on its small form factor due to the clip tilting the adapter off the desk.

This like the Linfox adapter is also 3070 chipset.
This is plug and play on LL.

and.... yes it can do Monitor Mode Smile

  Shutdown malfunction
Posted by: MS - 10-26-2018, 06:07 PM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (3)

Similarly to the case described in THIS thread, the shutdown sequence also appears to keep hanging on the last action, which in this case is the power-off function, I guess. Apart from that, it literally takes minutes to reach that, albeit I ordered the PC to shutdown with some processes keeping running. Despite that, come on. But y'know what I think, this is probably the case with just laptops perhaps.

EDIT:

Sorry for the screwed primary format, now edited.

  adding Unallocated space to LL partition?
Posted by: Searchernow - 10-25-2018, 08:38 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (6)

I have a dual-boot Win7 and LL 3.8, all working fine.

I intend to install LL4 and I used GParted (within LL) to reduce the Windows partition. I now have 53GB Unallocated which I would like to add to my 108GB LL partition.

When I try to re-size the LL partition it won't allow any size bigger than the min/max stated.
I'm guessing it might be to do with the Unallocated being on the Win side of the linux-swap, but in fact I'm new to this operation.

If it's a head-wrecking task I might leave it as is, just install LL 4 to the 108gb.

  Linfox wifi adapter combo
Posted by: bitsnpcs - 10-25-2018, 07:49 PM - Forum: Tutorials - No Replies

Hello,

this arrived today and I've just finished testing it.
This is sold on eBay for £9.99 (with free postage), it had a nice looking directional antenna that was not for sale on ebay on its own, I bought the kit for the antenna but was surprised by it.
Its images on eBay and listing use no branding, it arrives with the adapter branded as Linfox.
In the package are, the antenna, a lead coming from this to attach to the adapter, a lead from the adapter to USB , and a mini disc of Beini (based on Tiny Core Linux, it says), there is also a "manual" of 1 page showing you in photos of screenshots, how to crack your neighbours wifi using the set up, not that any of the members and guests would do those kind of things, I'm just stating what is in the package. It is in a bag, it is not boxed.

So this antenna is claimed to be 58dBi, and they claim the set up can reach 3km  :o I did not believe this even before buying it.
The antenna looks nice, from the end view it is a half circle shape, it is 20cm in length, it is attached underneath to a rod, this goes to a stand, underneath the stand are two slots, it comes with rubber suction cups to put in to those slots, the slots could also be used for mounting with screws.The outer casing is all plastic the underneath of the antenna bar is all metal, the base is also metal inside and on the parts visible for attaching to a wall or window.

It can also be stood on the desk (or floor) which is what I did.I tried this out using the little stand on the desk, you can set the antenna to vertical, or angles throughout until 180 degrees, I set it at approximately 45 degrees. It stays in the angle you set it.

The adapter uses a 3070 driver and is plug and play on Linux Lite.
Just attach the antenna cable and usb cable and plug it in and you are off.

As with the other recent tests, and the first tests on other set ups a long time ago, I used LinSSID on LL just from the desk.

The Alfa adapter similar to this one AWUS036h has a grey/silver box, the Linfox has a Gold box, both are manufactured in Taiwan.

:o This reaches as far as an AWUS036h with a Yagi antenna, and the antenna it comes with is physically about 70% or more smaller than the Yagi is.
It found a total of 49 AP's.
Including an Audi car, one Android phone, one Mi tv box, 3 public wifi hotspots, 2 of these are inside venues (bars).

I estimate it can reach from the desk at least more than 1 mile, as it finds a specific hotel, and I measured the distance to this when the Yagi /AWUS036h found it.
This is it goes through a forest and lots of buildings, to reach that 1 miles away.
On open ground or if used from an elevated position it may do longer distances, I am not sure.
It didn't find Henry's security cameras, like the Alfa 36NEH did, but it found Annas Hotspot and her 54 cams, must be like really nervous person, like the Yagi/AWUS036h did.

In vertical, horizontal or angled antenna mode this easily fits inside a small backpack set up.

and..... it can do monitor mode -
