Amiga Wifi Internet Access via the Floppy Drive Port

Fortunately, you can make a router out of basically anything resembling a computer. I’ve used a linux powered mini-pc as my own router for many years, and have posted a few times before about how to make linux routers and firewalls in that time. It’s been rock solid stable, and the only issue I’ve had over the years was wearing out a $20 mSATA drive. While I use Debian typically, Alpine linux probably works just as well, perhaps better if you’re familiar with it. As long as the device runs Linux well and has a couple USB ports, you’re good to go. Mini-PCs, desktop PCs, SBCs, rackmount servers, old laptops, or purpose built devices will all work.

It’s probably old news for most, but I’ve recently started using Tailscale and wanted to share my experience with it.

rinetd redirects TCP or UDP connections from one IP address and port to another. rinetd is a single-process server which handles any number of connections to the address/port pairs specified in the file /etc/rinetd.conf.

what would happen if you took the idea of the map being a network literally? What would a EvE online internet of systems look like?

The RB912UAG-2HPnD is a very versatile device. It is a small wireless router with an integrated 2.4GHz high power wireless card and an additional miniPCIe slot for 802.11 wireless, or 3G card. The Gigabit port helps to utilize the full potential of 802.11n wireless speeds.

Since the Raspberry Pi was just sitting there, and the Amiga lacked (*) a network adapter - why not just connect the dots and get something up and running? I did, and it worked. Here's a quick writeup on what I did - if anyone's interested I can write a more detailed post with all the information I have.

HoRNDIS (pronounce: “horrendous”) is a driver for Mac OS X that allows you to use your Android phone's native USB tethering mode to get Internet access. It is known to work with Mac OS X versions 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) through 10.9 (Mavericks – see notes below), and has been tested on a wide variety of phones. Although you should be careful with all drivers that you install on your computer, HoRNDIS has been tested at least well enough for the author (and many others) to run full time on their own personal computers.

I have been on the road a lot in the past several months, and one thing I keep seeing is that folks are over-sharing. I am not talking about putting up those ribald pictures on your Facebook account, or forwarding those questionable email "jokes." But literally sharing your computer's data files across the hotel (and some airports too). Here is what my Mac Finder looks like at a Hilton that I was at earlier in the week (you can see that I am connected to several of my fellow travelers' PCs):

Did you ever feel the urge to map your networking ports using your Airport Basestation or a UPNP router? Did you ever want your application to be reachable from the internet, even in a home networking setup? Don't despair anymore. Port Map and TCMPortMapper are here!

The UPnP PortMapper is an easy to use program that manages the port mappings (port forwarding) of a UPnP enabled internet gateway device (router) in the local network. You can easily view, add and remove port mappings.

"Ok, that Ubuntu issue is a known problem. It saves the assignment of MAC ethX using an udev rule. Have a look at /etc/udev/rules.d and you will find a file 70-persistent-net.rules there. You can savely remove this file. This file is auto-generated by /lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules. You can remove that file as well. From now on, the guest will no longer store the assignment between the MAC and ethX interface."

"This page contains links to documents that I have written regarding SubSpace and Continuum. Some documents go into the details like offsets of key data structures that I found in a specific executable while others are descriptive, high-level documents. There might even be some documents that don't make much sense. Those were just scrap documents I wrote to keep track of bits of information as I was going through the assembly so they're not formatted for presentation. They make sense to me and if there's enough interest, I could be convinced to clean them up a bit. "

"Let’s talk about how to hijack HTTP traffic on your home subnet using ARP and iptables. It’s an easy and fun way to harass your friends, family, or flatmates while exploring the networking protocols."

"Lets say you want to use POP from your local machine to a remote machine, but don't have an SSL aware email client. What you can do is to have your machine talk to stunnel on the local machine, who then encrypts the packets and sends them another stunnel running on the remote machine, which forwards them in clear text to the POP server on that machine. "

"justniffer is a tcp packet sniffer. It can log network traffic in a 'standard' (web server like) or in a customized way. It can also log response times, useful for tracking network services performances (e.g. web server, application server, etc.)."

"Maybe it's better to host your own. That's the thinking coming from a growing number of early technology adopters as service after service goes down, sells out or otherwise frustrates the users who have published their content online only to see the tools they use become broken or less desirable. "

"Yesterday, wireless networking provider Meraki started shipping the world’s first solar-powered WiFi mesh device. Meraki’s groundbreaking energy-independent device is powered by a single solar panel and solar-charged battery. Since the unit requires no grid-derived energy, it can be set up in areas lacking power suppliesWith a price range of $848 to $1,497, Meraki’s set-up isn’t exactly cheap. It is, however, cheaper than most other outdoor wireless network installations. The most expensive item in outdoor wireless networks is often the electrical cabling installation— a step that isn’t necessary for the Meraki unit since it uses a solar-powered battery."

"Or, for the sheer geeky joy of it, he could reroute all of .com into his laptop, the digital equivalent of channeling the Mississippi into a bathtub. It was a moment hackers around the world dream of—a tool that could give them unimaginable power. But maybe it was best simply to close his laptop and forget it. He could pretend he hadn't just stumbled over a skeleton key to the Net. Life would certainly be less complicated. If he stole money, he'd risk prison. If he told the world, he'd be the messenger of doom, potentially triggering a collapse of Web-based commerce."

"It took less than 30 days from sitting downtown having a hot dog, to having a fully functional wireless network"

"If you've turned your $60 router into a user-friendly super-router with open-source firmware Tomato, you already know that Tomato can boost your Wi-Fi signal, track bandwidth usage, and set Quality of Service rules with ease. But if you're a big fan of Adblock Plus—the most popular Firefox extension among Lifehacker readers—you can save yourself an extension installation and universally block ads across your entire home network by adding a custom script to your Tomato firmware."

"Others attend hoping to meet venture capitalists; some are just attracted to a night life that involves actually talking to creative people doing exciting things, rather than heading out to clubs and bars that beat you into silence with their thundering rhythms. "

"A great deal of effort goes into technical means for finding information on the net, but hardly anybody has been helping newcomers figure out where the net fits in the larger picture of their careers."

"The UDS family of device servers enables users to connect, manage and control just about any piece of equipment with a serial port from virtually anywhere over Ethernet or the Internet."

"If I spend an evening at a social function with people I don't know or don't like, I get home and feel like I've spent all day at the ocean. It's that fighting-the-waves and drained-by-the-sun kind of tired."

"Unix command-line utility netcat gets called the "network swiss army knife" with good reason."

"In this document we will try to exploit the power of low level data transfer command popularly known as 'dd' and netcat."

Neighbors are borrowing this guy's wifi. He screws with them by turning every image on the web upside-down, blurry, and into kittens.

"If you are doing port forwarding back onto the same network, you need to make sure that both future packets and reply packets pass through the NAT box (so they can be altered). "

"In this tutorial, I will show you how to install a wireless game adapter into your XBOX internally so that you can have a wireless connection, where available, without the extra hardware."

"With Hamachi you can organize two or more computers with an Internet connection into their own virtual network for direct secure communication. "

"Linksys confirmed what some analysis firms have been saying: to their knowledge, the WRT54G is the single bestselling model of Wi-Fi gateway in the world." It's too bad that they've switched to VxWorks-- the Linux-based firmware was the single reason I

"Now you have another IP that you can bring stuff up on that won't collide with other stuff running on the same port. "

"I decided to stop that, and to run my all network into a single machine, using virtual machine."

"How do you know a technology has matured? When it becomes invisible. "

"The firmware rework enables the WRT54G to a) acquire a publicly routeable /64 IPv6 prefix, b) provide IPv6 addresses from that prefix to hosts on the home network, and c) route IPv6 home network traffic to the greater IPv6 Internet."
