OpenBSD / Obsd Packetsniffer? Tcpdump?

« on: October 15, 2008, 12:27:17 am »

While I"m very happy that so many security and network apps are available for OBSD, I'm struggling to find a packet sniffer such as the ubiqutous tcpdump.

I believe that wireshark (ethereal) has been dropped from OBSD because of security concerns but surely there must be some way of knowing what's on the wire? What do other people use?

There's a package called bsd-airtools.  That may have what you're talking about.

Thanks Lance, I've installed bsd-airtools but all I can find is layer 2 (kismet style) functionality. Tcpdump allows you to 'sniff the wire' at > layer 3. I've found trafshow to be useful but still I miss basic, popular opens source tools and it is very frustrating not to have them in what is otherwise a very well equipped distro. Who makes up the rules?

I'm not a big network person, so I don't really know that much about tcpdump or any other networking tools.  I mainly use OpenBSD on my  desktop workstation.  Is the tcpdump in the base install of OpenBSD not the same as what you're used to doing with tcpdump in other distributions?

<QUOTE>
Done a rebuild and now I can mount CF and also, I can mount SD is this a first on OBSD??

Mounting and reading an SD card is no problem.  It's writing to the SD card that's been the problem.

For Sale / Wanted / Wtb: Sl-6000l/w

« on: April 26, 2008, 08:19:45 pm »

Nobody else out there looking to sell their old units? How about a trade or something? I got an iPod touch just sitting here collecting dust.

I have an SL-6000L that I'll sell.  I haven't used it for quite a while (I prefer the clamshell form factor).  I'm it's original owner.  I got it about 3 years ago (I think).  It is in excellent shape.  I have no extra's just what came in the original box.  Last time I used it a couple months ago, when browsing the internet, the battery lasted for about an hour.  I'm thinking $350 plus shipping and insurance.

OpenBSD / Cleaning Up After Building Packages

« on: September 02, 2007, 08:55:48 pm »

I just got a C3000 last week on eBay.  I've installed OpenBSD on it thanks to the help of mathemajikian's website download installation files and recent snapshots.  I hope to get to building some packages soon, as soon as I figure out how to get NFS set up on my desktop.  I tried to do it several months ago for some music files I wanted to share but didn't get it working.  I'll now have a better reason to keep trying to figure it out.

6000 - Tosa / SL-6000 carry cases

« on: December 31, 2004, 08:53:15 am »

I needed a quick solution to my case problem before I went on my Christmas vacation.  I went to my local Staples and found the pictured case.  Its thickness perfectly fits the thickness of the zaurus.  It has about an inch of spare room on the side and top (or bottom).  It has nothing to secure it to the zaurus.  I think it costs $24.

6000 - Tosa / Asking For Date/time Every Reboot? Help?!

« on: December 17, 2004, 01:02:53 am »

There is a switch in the battery compartment that is supposed to be turned on before you put the battery in the zaurus.  Not sure if it is the cause of your problems though.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Gpe 3.5.2 On C760

« on: December 16, 2004, 04:23:52 am »

When OZ GPE boots, the screen freezes at the point depicted in the attached file.  I've checked md5sums, tried redownloading the proper files, and named them properly.  Prior to installing GPE, I was able to install OZ OPIE without any problems and played around with opie for a couple days.  Anyone have any ideas.

One other thing I can remember when I try to install gpe:  When the Sharp screen is displayed, at the bottom of the screen just before the OZ logo and text starts scrolling, there is text that says:  Modprobe: can't find module devinfo.

Thanks for your help.

Deals and Great Z Buys / Sl-6000l On Amazon For $300 Right Now!

« on: December 06, 2004, 12:02:42 am »

Seeing the success of fiveinarow, I wrote Amazon customer service and asked for a refund of the difference between my cost I paid early last week of $379.99 and the $300.00 it was offered for later in the week.  I got an email back from them today saying I'm getting a refund of $158.00 (I bought 2 SL-6000Ls, one for me, the other as a gift to OZ developer Mickeyl).  So it's not just fiveinarow getting lucky.  I guess I'll get a 1GB SD card with the extra money.

General Discussion / Video Samples

LilMikey,

I downloaded the 255-320-64sample.avi file and it played well on my C760 using the kino2 videoplayer.  It didn\'t seem to drop many frames and the stereo audio stayed in sync.  Very watctchable!

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / OZ 3.3.6-pre1 + 860 = big fat failure !!

« on: February 10, 2004, 01:31:17 am »

Well, I have seen quite a few C760 users around in the forums who have 3.3.6pre1 running... maybe they could do a NAND Block test on their machine for us?

I\'ve got 3.3.6pre1 running on my C760.  If someone would tell me how to do a NAND Block test (and explain if it could mess my Z up,) I\'ll give it a go.
