Kismet-2011-01-R1 suidroot not working under Debian

Sunday, March 10, 2013 / posted in Hardware / No Comments

This is a pretty easy fix as follows

# 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.

How to PPTPD (PopTop)

Saturday, March 9, 2013 / posted in Linux / No Comments

Below is a way to connect your clients like smartphone, laptop, etc to the Internets while you are out and about connecting to random WiFi networks etc like Mac Donalds, and to help protect yourself while on them unknown networks with unknown users

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 😉

A Maker Faire is where makers of all kinds get together and show what they can do. Adelaide Mini Maker Faire will have all kinds of demonstrations from 3D printing to blacksmithing and knitting to digital fabrication and everything in between.

Maker Faire is part of a growing DIY local and global movement of people who look at things a little differently and who just might spark the next generation of scientists, engineers and makers.
