Installing airpwn on openSUSE 11.2

airpwn is a nice tool to play with, but sometimes hard to install.

First you have to get airpwn from here.
Then install the following things:

• libpcap
• libnet
• libpcre
• openssl
• python
• python-devel

Extract it to a wanted folder and then continue like this:

cd airpwn-1.4
tar xvfz lorcon-current.tgz
cd lorcon
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd ..
./configure
make 

And now I had my problems. It showed all the times those errors

/pentest/airpwn-1.4/airpwn.c:404: undefined reference to `PyString_FromStringAndSize'

After struggling around the problem I found the root.
Change in the “configure” file all python2.4 strings to python2.6. You can just copy everything from here which covers the changed names from line number 3741 to 3812.

./configure
make
sudo make install

airpwn was now installed into the /usr/local/sbin directory.
To get it working just by typing “airpwn”move it from /usr/local/sbin to /usr/sbin

sudo cp /usr/local/sbin/airpwn /usr/sbin

To get familiar with airpwn itself read the man page

Installing Nemesis

I had recently problems installing nemesis on openSUSE, because nemesis needs an earlier libnet version, which I didn’t find in the OBS (maybe I’ll upload it on my repo, but I have to find out first how the OBS work ).

I dowloaded the nemesis source from here
If you have libnet 1.1 installed, it will always say, it can’t find the libnet directory.

So I downloaded an libnet 1.02a rpm from here and installed it.

After that you can compile nemesis without any problems.

But while updating you might also update libnet to the higher version and after that it might not work anymore.

 

Nice article about the US Cybercrime Myth

I found the article about the US Cybercrime myth very amusing.

KDE Keyboard Layout

I am currently switching often between the US and the German keyboard layout.
I found also a great solution for it, so I can easily change the layouts during writing.

Do it like that:

• –>Configure Desktop
• –>Regional & Lanugage
• –>Keyboard Layout
• –>Layout
• –>Enable keyboard layouts
• –>Add the wanted keyboard layouts into the “Active layouts” section
• –>Apply
• –>Configure Desktop
• –>Keyboard & Mouse
• –>Global Keyboard Shortcuts
• –>set the KDE component to “KDE Keyboard Layout Switcher”
• –>Switch to Next Keyboard Layout
• –>set “Custom” and klick on the button right next to it and press the wanted shortcut combination
• –>Apply

And now you can change the keyboard layout easily during writing.

After that Qt is happy about your response http://survey.confirmit.com/wix1/p995540662.aspx

 

Hive Rise

Well, it was a long time ago, I played my last real game (and a real game is for me not a virtual card game or so).

The self extracting file is about 82MB big, you just have to start it, it copies the files into a wanted folder and you can start via starting the “hiverise” script.

I wanted to start the game once on my EEE PC 1000H, but it has not the needed hardware resources.

To the game:

You can register yourself (if you want to play in the internet also and if you want to save your credits) and then you can start.
The normal game on your computer takes about ten minutes, because it is limited, but that has nothing to say, those 10 minutes are loaded with action.
You start in a closed base with 3 gates. You have 20 seconds or so to build the most needed things like mines and the first soldiers. Then the gates are open and the real game starts.
As armed forces are soldiers (with a gun, grenades or rocket launcher), tanks (a buggy like tank, a light tank, a heavy tank, a canon and an anti aircraft tank) and helicopters (machine gun, rocket launcher, bomber and an anti helicopter).
Specialized guns which can be placed on at the gates are also available (anti infantry, anti tank and anti aircraft).

Here some screenshots:

You can get the game from the Hive Rise home http://www.hiverise.com
