LTSP is an add-on package for Linux that allows you to connect lots of low-powered thin client terminals to a Linux server. Applications typically run on the server, and accept input and display their output on the thin client display.

AWK: The Linux Administrators' Wisdom Kit

Learning Linux? This introduction to the invaluable AWK text-manipulation tool will be invaluable.

The AWK utility, with its own self-contained language, is one of the most powerful data processing engines in existence — not only in Linux, but anywhere. The limits to what can be done with this programming and data-manipulation language (named for the last initials of its creators, Alfred Aho, Peter Weinberger, and Brian Kernighan) are the boundaries of one's own knowledge. It allows you to create short programs that read input files, sort data, process it, perform arithmetic on the input, and generate reports, among myriad other functions.

One Million Ways to Die

Sept. 11, 2001 was undoubtedly one of the darkest and deadliest days in United States history. Al-Qaida's attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center killed 2,976 people, and the country recoiled in horror as we witnessed the death of thousands of Americans when the towers fell.

In the five years since that shattering day, the government has spent billions on anti-terrorism projects, instituted a color-coded alert system that has never been green, banned fingernail clippers and water bottles from airplanes, launched a pre-emptive war on false pretenses, and advised citizens to stock up on duct tape and plastic sheeting.

Clip Source: www.kmworld.com

The Future of the Future: Learning fast to stay relevant in a flat world

Fast learning--Learning before, during and after everything you do must become routine. With routine comes speed, and learning with speed delivers high performance. The results of methods such as peer assists (learning before doing), action reviews (learning while doing), and after action reviews (learning after doing) are well-known. If you are not applying those techniques in your projects and teams, now is a good time to start. But fast learning is not just something you do with your team. You can apply those tools to yourself every day to accelerate your own pace of learning and performing.

A Field Guide to Critical Thinking - 6 Rules

A Field Guide to Critical Thinking

The six rules of evidential reasoning are my own distillation and simplification of the scientific method. To make it easier for students to remember these half-dozen guidelines, I've coined an acronym for them: Ignoring the vowels, the letters in the word "FiLCHeRS" stand for the rules of Falsifiability, Logic, Comprehensiveness, Honesty, Replicability, and Sufficiency. Apply these six rules to the evidence offered for any claim, I tell my students, and no one will ever be able to sneak up on you and steal your belief. You'll be filch-proof.

Falsifiability

It must be possible to conceive of evidence that would prove the claim false.

Logic

Any argument offered as evidence in support of any claim must be sound.

Comprehensiveness

The evidence offered in support of any claim must be exhaustive -- that is all of the available evidence must be considered.

Honesty

The evidence offered in support of any claim must be evaluated without self-deception.

Replicability

If the evidence for any claim is based upon an experimental result, or if the evidence offered in support of any claim could logically be explained as coincidental, then it is necessary for the evidence to be repeated in subsequent experiments or trials.

Sufficiency

The evidence offered in support of any claim must be adequate to establish the truth of that claim, with these stipulations:

the burden of proof for any claim rests on the claimant,
extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence, and
evidence based upon authority and/or testimony is always inadequate for any paranormal claim

OWASP: WebScarab Project

Category:OWASP WebScarab Project

Welcome to the WebScarab Project

WebScarab is a framework for analysing applications that communicate using the HTTP and HTTPS protocols. It is written in Java, and is thus portable to many platforms. WebScarab has several modes of operation, implemented by a number of plugins. In its most common usage, WebScarab operates as an intercepting proxy, allowing the operator to review and modify requests created by the browser before they are sent to the server, and to review and modify responses returned from the server before they are received by the browser. WebScarab is able to intercept both HTTP and HTTPS communication. The operator can also review the conversations (requests and responses) that have passed through WebScarab.

Antennas for Orinoco Cards

After reading the article in the latest QST (April 2003) on the Hinternet, I started a quest to find out how one attaches an external antenna to a WiFi device. First thing I noticed is that there seemed to be no way to hook antennas to a PCMCIA card, and lots of the Orinoco access points etc, seemed to have no antennas at all, and no sign of a connector.

I use Orinoco stuff because at UHM that is the card they supported when they started Wi-Fi experiments on campus. I tried a LinkSys card, and it was a nightmare. I gave it to a person who had several ICS students fiddle with it and after a lot of aggravation, they also gave up. It took the big dive into the dumpster quite some time ago. No one ever did get it to configure, or recognize signal, much less login.

The key for a lot of Wi-Fi is that the PCMCIA cards are the radios. They apparently have the modems and the transceivers for 2.4 GHz, or if 802.11a, for 5 GHz. The g is some kind of new standard. So cards are typically 802.11b, 802.11a, 802.11g or a combination. In the Orinoco line, the silver cards have 40 bit encryption and the gold cards have 128 bit encryption.

From what I understand, Wi-Fi is 802.11 a/b/g and Bluetooth is something else. Airport is a Mac version and is related to Wi-Fi. It is supposed to be interoperable with Wi-Fi. The new standard 802.11g is called Airport Extreme and the port they are selling even has an external antenna connector. Two external antennas, a flat panel and a vertical are available for order for this Airport Extreme hub. The 802.11b operates in our 2.4 GHz band and I believe the 802.11a operates up at 5 GHz. I think 802.11g is another protocol for 2.4 GHz.

YoLinux: Using Linux iptables and ipchains for internet gateway

YoLinux: Using Linux iptables or ipchains to set up an internet gateway / firewall / router for home or office

Use Linux ipchains / iptables and IP forwarding to configure Linux as a firewall and router. This is the method covered in this tutorial.

The Linux router project has produced a specialized version of Linux just to run ipchains / iptables and IP masquerading.
See LinuxRouter.org.

Use SOCKS gateway proxy software running on Linux.
For more information see the SOCKS5/e-Border home page.

Use a CISCO router - Configuration tutorial. (Note: PIX series are preferred for firewall use.)

This tutorial will cover using a linux computer as a gateway between a private network and the internet. Any internet connection whether it be a dial-up PPP, DSL, cable modem or a T1 line can be used. In the case of most dial-up PPP connections and cable modem connections, only a single IP address is issued allowing only one computer to connect to the internet at a time. Using Linux and iptables / ipchains one can configure a gateway which will allow all computers on a private network to connect to the internet via the gateway and one external IP address, using a technology called "Network Address Translation" (NAT) or masquerading and private subnets. Iptables/ipchains can also be configured so that the Linux computer acts as a firewall, providing protection to the internal network.
