# chmod u-w /usr/bin/kismet*
# chmod u+s,o-r /usr/bin/kismet_capture

Now you should be able to run kismet now under standard user accounts.

Install mppe kernel support

# modprobe ppp-compress-18

Install PPTPD

# apt-get install pptpd

Configure IP Address Range
Edit the file /etc/pptpd.conf for the IP address range

localip 172.16.100.1
remoteip 172.16.100.200-250

restart pptpd to activate changes

# invoke-rc.d pptpd restart

Adding users accounts
Edit the file /etc/ppp/chap-secrets

test_user * lamepassword *

The above will give you a working PPTPD where your able to connect to securely but you’ll most probably can’t connect to the outside network.

To allow you PPTP clients access to the big bad internet

Enable IPv4 forwarding

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

Finally configure your iptables

iptables -A INPUT -i ppp+ -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -o ppp+ -j ACCEPT
iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -o ppp+ -j MASQUERADE

If you want all traffic to go through the PPTP connection
Edit the file /etc/ppp/pptpd-options and change

# Debian: do not replace the default route
nodefaultroute

to

# Debian: do not replace the default route
#nodefaultroute

and don’t forget to restart pptpd

Where:

Attached is a pdf explaining the whole event, the groups participating, and some the history of Old Reynella.
2013 Festival of History

Equipment:

1. mass (weights)
2. ticker tape
3. ticker machine
4. PSU
5. tape measure
6. sticky tape

Method:

1. Connect sticky tape to one end the ticker taper and thread the other end through the ticker tape machine.
2. Connect the ticker tape machine to the AC connectors on the PSU and set the PSU to ~6VAC.
3. Connect weight (mass) to the end of the ticker tape with the sticky tape on and turn on PSU and drop mass from min. of one meter.
4. Check for dots made by the ticker machine and pic a section of ~500mm of ticker tape and measure between the first and last dots in the section, then count up the intervals between the dots.
5. Work out the acceleration now by doubling the intervals and divide by 100 to get a decimal value (t)

using the formula

S = length of tape section

I also like to give a big thanks for Paul VK5VCO who arrange the crystal receiver comp, the prize, and the doing the judging. Also a big thanks to the Military Vehicle Preservation Society (MVPS) for the Museum tour and venue for the crystal set judging. And also big thanks to all that entered comp and turned up for the night.

Enjoy the pics I took from the night
