They cover a Windows tool called inSSIDer, which shows the wifi singal levels on the channels 0-13. However, there's no such tool for linux. I came up with a simple solution in python, which parses the output of iwlist scan. This file is tested on Ubuntu 11.04, this one runs on Ubuntu 11.10. Both scripts can be executed like this: watch 'sudo iwlist scan | python wifi-graph-*.py' This is a quic... http://www.danielfett.de/privat,blog,wifi-scanner-linux rss@danielfett.de (Daniel Fett) http://www.danielfett.de/privat,blog,wifi-scanner-linux Sun, 05 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0100 AGTL, developed originally for the Openmoko Freerunner and now in active development on the Nokia N9, is the all-in-one solution for on- and offline geocaching and makes geocaching paperless! http://www.danielfett.de/internet-und-opensource,software,agtl-on-n9 rss@danielfett.de (Daniel Fett) http://www.danielfett.de/internet-und-opensource,software,agtl-on-n9 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0100 AGTL brings offline geocaching to the N9, and I today present the first beta version. This means, in the next time I'll try to fix bug, but not add any new features. This beta version brings Multicache Calculation help - AGTL tries to extract calculations from the cache description and you'll be asked to enter the missing values. Much improved interface and a dark theme (optional). On the OLED-Display of the N9, this saves power and it's a great for night geocaching.

AGTL brings offline geocaching to the N9. Well, not completely: The map is not stored offline right now, but this feature will arrive eventually. This is an Alpha version, meaning there will be bugs. However, I already went geocaching with it and it worked! AGTL features several cool features: Compass view Map view All details and images, the last 20 logs Writing fieldnotes Of course, some settings And best of it all: A unique augmented reality view!

Here are some screenshots. Your feedback is very welcome, but please keep in mind that things are far from being finished yet! The magnetic compass in the N9 seems to be pretty good, promising a much better geocaching experience! ... http://www.danielfett.de/privat,blog,agtl-n9-first-screenshots rss@danielfett.de (Daniel Fett) http://www.danielfett.de/privat,blog,agtl-n9-first-screenshots Sat, 26 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0100 Hi all! I was pretty busy in the last weeks, therefore only some minor changes to AGTL were made. However, last week my N900 broke (the famous USB port problem). Yesterday I decided to buy a N9 as replacement. Therefore, I'm preparing a Qt release of AGTL which will run on the N9. I expect a first public version in a few weeks. If you are the owner of a N900, don't be alarmed - development also continues for this device. You can read more about the progress on the github repository.

Zum anderen, so scheint es, kann und muss jede Uni das Anmeldeverfahren auf eigene Faust organisieren. Dies sind beste Voraussetzungen für viele Sicherheitslücken dieser ... http://www.danielfett.de/privat,blog,hacking-deutschlandstipendium rss@danielfett.de (Daniel Fett) http://www.danielfett.de/privat,blog,hacking-deutschlandstipendium Fri, 05 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0200 Some weeks ago I found out that my father's new network music player had a telnet port open. This may be or may be not known in the community, I don't know. However, today, I explored the device a bit more and here is some random data I found out: Shell Access daniel@alpha:~/git/hacking/philips-streamium$ telnet 192.168.2.102 Trying 192.168.2.102...
