I bought one of the Linksys WPC11 (11Mbps 802.11b) WLAN-cards. The card works fine on linux-systems with the following settings in /etc/pcmcia/config: card “Linksys WPC11 11Mbps 802.11b WLAN Card” manfid 0x0274, 0x1612 bind “orinoco_cs” Hint: notice the 0x1612 – especially if your are using debian ;-). With the orinoco-0.13e-patch from http://airsnort.shmoo.com/orinocoinfo.html you are cabable of […]

Today we (some guys of Security Treff Graz) made a hacking session at competence centre of mur.at. We had some WLAN network-cards and used kismet for wlan-sniffing. Well, mur.at has it’s centre beneath a street where GVB’s trams are driving, have a look: screenshot ;o)

Very fast reply by abuse@aon: Der Account des Kunden, von dessen Rechner diese Virenmails versandt wurden, wurde gesperrt. English information: the account of the telekom-customer has been disabled

I received 12 spammails with the “Dear user of “Michael-prokop.at” mailing system, […] Kind regards, The Michael-prokop.at team” from host n632p031.adsl.highway.telekom.at (62.47.22.255). So I sent a mail to abuse@aon.at and today I got the following response: From: Abuse Intern [schnipp] Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2004 13:07:58 +0100 Subject: AW: Abuse-Meldung […] Um den/die tatsächlichen Verursacher […]

Now I was very creative and created a new 404-page ;o)

I just found palcal, a “calendar with events” for the commandline. It looks quite very nice and seems to be the best available calendar-tool for the commandline. Now I’ll create an at.pal-file :-). Update: at.pal is online – improvements/feedback is welcome :)

I am considering to change my writings from english to german in my weblog. But I am not sure whether I should. Any pros and cons?

Due to the fact that I received more and more spammails in my personal inbox in the last few days (even spamassassin and some procmail-rules couldn’t catch them) and because the schema is always the same I created a new procmail-rule: :0 BD * http://www.(affiliatedrugs)|(moderndrugstore).biz { :0 fwh | formail -i “X-Caught-by: biz-spam” :0 $MAILDIR/spam_drugstore/ […]

70% of network traffic is produced by IPX! 497 IPX-packets within 3 minutes doing nothing related to networking on the box. Argl!

FreeSBI (version 1.0) is FreeBSD as a live system on CD (like Knoppix). On 2nd March I copied the FreeSBIE-ISO to the TUG-ftp-server and today I plugged in the CD to the CD-ROM of one of the many computers at work ;-) A windows-like desktop (XFCE) welcomes the user running xinit. The italian menu is […]

I am at home again since one hour past midnight. Chemnitzer LinuxTag was really great and together with Thorsten and Jimmy it was fun :-). I’ll write a (german) report in the next few days. Mails, newsgroups, university, work and projects are calling for me ;-) Update: The (german) CLT2004-Report is online: http://www.michael-prokop.at/sonstiges/clt-2004-report.txt 2nd Update: […]

CLT 2004 is going to start tomorrow. Today I will go to a “Ausstands-Feier” (some special kind of party ;)) and tommorow we (Jimmy, Thorsten and me) will drive to Chemnitz by car early in the morning. So I should prepare my baggage now :)

Today I tried to check out rrdtool. It’s quite powerful but it’s documentation sucks IMO and using it is quite painful, at least for beginners. I wrote a small shellscript which automatizes some stuff and writes a html-file.

Konq Rellinks is a very nice addon for konqueror, you can use document relations with this plugin in konqueror as in opera and mozilla. Due to that Kevin Krammer is one of the developer of the program he was the one who pointed my to it :-) Have a look at it: screenshot

Today I am really tired. Yesterday I went to bed at around 2 o’clock because of Security Treff Graz. First of all I felt asleep in a very boring softskills-lecture at university, profile-migration on the windows-box (from local to serverside) at work was really ###censored###. The only ray of hope was the lecturer of “control […]

Today I installed the dvorak keyboard layout on my happy hacking keyboard, and I am feeling like a small boy who has never seen a keyboard in his life before :-) but I am getting faster and faster. Of course I am using a special Xmodmap. Check out the abcd-dvorak-tutorial (thanks for the URL Thomas […]

As I’ve said some days ago I want to set up ipv6 at home. Now I am running an ipv6-tunnel on my workstation via freenet6.net. I had to change tspc host_type to “router” in /etc/freenet6-client/tspc.conf and due to a bug in the freenet-client I had to restart the tunnel with if_tunnel=sit0 and again with sit1. […]
