Today we’ll be setting up an environment which will allow us to easily disect a beacon frame, as well as the other three types of management frames; probes, authentication and association. As you know we’ve covered the 3 types of wireless frames; management, control and data. Last week we went over one of the 4 types of management frames — the beacon.
This time on the show Shannon is comparison shopping! Which is better? KeePass or LastPass?
This time on the show, Windows. You love it. You hate it. Maybe you’re stuck with it. Today, we’ll unsuckify it. Oh, and Kerby has a nifty DOS script for ya.
Today we’re following up our discussion on 802.11 frames with an investigation of beacons and a practical example using BackTrack Linux and a technique known as raw frame injection.
Today we’re going over your top 5 tips, questions and software picks including performance boosters, 3d desktops and disk space analyzers for Windows.
Hulu and the BBC iPlayer everywhere with a little VPN action to bypass Geo IP filters. We’ll be setting up Network Manager in BackTrack5. Plus, Linux inside of Windows, graphing trace-routes in terminal and a whole lot more this time on Hak5!
Today we’re diving into the do-dads that make up 802.11, or to be more specific we’ll be going over WiFi frames. It is with careful use or abuse of these frames we’re able to acomplish some pretty nifty tricks.
Here in the US there are are 4 major carries and all of them use 3g and 4g as marketing speak for speed, but I am here to tell you it not all marketing at all. First lets cover what the G really stands for. It’s generation, so 3G is really the third generation of wireless cell technology. So, when Version says they have the largest 3g network they really mean they started building their network later than, say A&TT, who really started at 2G. So in the case of Verizon, 3G could be slower than AT&T’s 2G network because generation does not directly correlate with speed. But as we all know tech does have a tendency to get faster over time. The generational spec really dictates how the tech of a given generation uses it’s spectrum to push packets.
This time on the show, capturing and analyzing Bluetooth packets with the Ubertooth One, Kismet and Wireshark, Booting VirtualBox VMs from physical USB drives, bypassing Geo IP location restrictions, and tons more.
Today we’ve following up with our discussion on 802.11 standards with today’s latest and greatest, 802.11n.
Checking out an alternative to Virtual Box called VM Ware Player.
This time on the show, an Ubertooth One Primer – Setup with BackTrack 5. Booting multiple ISOs from a single USB drive, we’ve got plenty of options. And answers to your questions on A+ certs, programming languages, network scanning and more.
