- SimianSamurai, on 04/16/2008, -0/+57I practically need this to find my own wireless signal. Damn Belkin routers...
- jrtcs, on 04/16/2008, -0/+20Great. I can see the NBC Dateline special now. "To Catch a Wi-Fi Predator".
- thepulse, on 04/16/2008, -0/+19Can't wait to see what TSA will think of these :P Would love to try to devise a compact version for traveling! And props on the DefCon sticker :P
- CodedChaos, on 04/16/2008, -1/+18Next thing you know, all Starbucks and Hotels will have their wifi encrypted.
- SPThom, on 04/16/2008, -0/+9Yeah, because that's something you'll pack in your carry-on when you're taking trips. Say hello to the TSA for me.
- MikeyMoose, on 01/30/2009, -0/+9Very nice! Great to see DD-WRT, too!
- surbo, on 04/16/2008, -0/+9They tried that last year at DEFCON 15 =) - They had to change the show to " To Catch a Under-Cover Reporter" 0wn3d
- objectcode, on 04/16/2008, -0/+8disregarded
- shifty2, on 04/16/2008, -0/+7Because of this tutorial I was able to hook up a client of mine. They have a WAP in the main office and another on 150 yard down the road at a warehouse. I fabbed a directional attenna on both ends and setup wireless bridge mode. Works like a charm!
- Xios117, on 04/16/2008, -1/+7i-hacked has all kinds of useful stuff on it... check it out sometime. :)
- pyry, on 04/16/2008, -0/+5And then when it can't find any open ones, just have it run aircrack-ng against the best WEP router with good signal strength! I mean, for educational purposes.
- shifty2, on 04/16/2008, -1/+5you're missing the underlying point...
There are other practical applications than just grabbing wifi signals that you normally couldn't get AT a hotel.
and plus, who said you had to have THAT type of antenna and "a bunch of equipment" antenna, router...
sorry if that doesn't fit in YOUR PURSE! - Xios117, on 04/16/2008, -0/+4Codey is a mod for i-hacked... he knows what he's talking about.
Failure. - LucidHawk, on 04/16/2008, -0/+4Will probably get you stopped at the airport..
- synyster, on 04/16/2008, -2/+6nice hack, but i wouldn't carry this thing around when i travelling :)
- shifty2, on 04/16/2008, -0/+3The new WRT54G routers have half the RAM and ROM as the old school ones. I bricked v2.2 several months ago and bought a new one, v8.0, after realizing the limitation of the memory and the piss poor performance, I returned it and bought a used v2.x on ebay.
There is a good thread on the DDWRT forum for the best performing routers. Most agree the Buffalo ones are pretty good if you can find them in the US. - dougmc, on 04/16/2008, -0/+3Somehow I don't think 250 mW is going to melt your brain. Unless you're an ant.
- norcalscan, on 04/16/2008, -0/+3Why not? Are we guilty now just by what we carry in our carryons? Oh wait...
- BOFH139, on 04/16/2008, -0/+3DD-WRT has teaming up with Buffalo. They were previously using a hacked up Korean firmware {under licence} with is really bad.
- diggitygeek, on 04/16/2008, -0/+3Dugg for the skull and crossbones smiley face in the last picture.
- Acill, on 04/16/2008, -0/+3Love it, just the think I was looking for when I got to my grand parrents. Good sig if I go outside, but none in the house. Cant wait to put it all together!
- saggygrandma, on 04/16/2008, -0/+3Just remember that the free wireless internet connection you scored from your neighbour could just be a trap to collect information from you (internet backing etc)
- CodedChaos, on 04/16/2008, -1/+4No, I am completely clueless.
/sarcasm
It was a joke, acquire a sense of humor and consider using it. - surbo, on 04/16/2008, -0/+3per Hevnsnt - Yes - this would work.
- CodedChaos, on 04/16/2008, -0/+3Good job! How many things did you have to look up to figure that out?
- Ragarnok, on 04/16/2008, -0/+3I suggest going all the way and getting a satellite dish to replace the antenna :p
- MadEnvoy, on 04/16/2008, -0/+2"Take a seat right over there, next to your predator device."
- quentinp, on 04/16/2008, -0/+2Does this add more gain then the FCC allows?
- CodedChaos, on 04/16/2008, -0/+2Yes.
Wait.. damnit -.- - smrekar, on 04/16/2008, -0/+2Question: Our Office is about .5 mi as the crow flies from our campus (up on a hill). Can I put this setup (bolted down) on the roof of our campus with a clear shot to our office and have a VPN without using our Soho3 firewalls? I can aim a yagi back at it with another wireless router.
Dilemma - Cox Business Services charge 3 arms and 4 legs for their cable internet. We could bypass the whole cox thing if we just piggy backed on our office. With 802.11N and a couple of yagis would this be feasible? - Xios117, on 04/16/2008, -0/+2Pssh.
- Spuy767, on 04/16/2008, -2/+4People should likely disregard everything I say this early in the morning.
- jm1234567890, on 04/16/2008, -0/+2yes, especially with that antenna, it is way more
- XistenZ, on 04/16/2008, -0/+1Here are some steps you can follow to add it to your existing dd-wrt build for those who don't want to use a 1.5 year old bin. http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Autoap#Instal ...
- thinboyslim, on 04/16/2008, -1/+2How to melt your brain in 5 easy steps....Firstly get a Predator,....
- pyrates, on 04/16/2008, -4/+5If they encrypt it, how will anyone connect to it? Do you understand anything about wifi encryption?
- LycoLoco, on 04/16/2008, -0/+1There are a few models of Buffalo Routers that actually already run DD-WRT and Tomato and they're sometimes easier to find.
- takeo1775, on 04/16/2008, -0/+1probably would be more stable than my internet
- WebLover1, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1Will gradually increase the awareness to level of security of wireless, ultimately not many will have unencrypted wireless connections
- Calibur, on 04/16/2008, -0/+1blah... gather a couple encypt packets and run wep-attack with a good dict. Or in the case of WPA.. cowpatty. That way you dont make a bunch of noise on their AP. you know.. for your education :)
- surbo, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1as long as its not WEP.. =)
- hugejimmy, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1nice
- bentrinh, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1And he's not kidding either...
http://people.wallawalla.edu/~Rob.Frohne/Airport/P ... - Xios117, on 04/16/2008, -0/+1Thanks surbo~
- andrewtheart, on 04/16/2008, -0/+1I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you're the exception. But awesome!!!
- Xios117, on 04/16/2008, -0/+1Sweet action. :)
- CodedChaos, on 04/16/2008, -0/+1Main reason is because of Linksys' hardware revisions and firmware source changes. For example, if you were to go buy a new linksys at a local store, attempting to install DD-WRT will result in a lovely brick with optional blinking lights on the front.
- Xios117, on 04/16/2008, -0/+1Anything for science, right?
