The Cricket A600 is a cheap, little broadband USB device – but it has been the source of major headaches for some people. Especially those trying to set it up under linux. Well, after trying many things, and failing many times, I have found an elegant and command based way of getting on the web.
First, get this file: Cricket flip-flopper Compile it up (or use the precompiled 32 bit binaries), and install it. Keep the extracted files handy.
Drop in the A600, and wait for it to show up as a CDROM drive. In the previously extracted files, run “sudo ./flipflop.sh”. Let it finish.
Check dmesg to make sure you saw “ttyACM0″ go by at some point. Grep is good for this.
Lastly, install wvdial, and use the following in your /etc/wvdial.conf :
As I program more, I discover the true value of a repository is very, very high. So, I decided to move picodns, my little DNS server project, over to github, where it will be preserved for anyone just in case my server goes down. PicoDNS also features extensive user documentation.
The software I contributed, and blogged about a while ago has gone v2.0. The newly modified source code now compiles and works on a larger variety of linux systems.
The purpose of the software is essentially to list the network interfaces, their IP address, and whatever their IP address resolves into. It’s just a single file of delicious C code, and it works like a charm. Check it out!
I wrote some code a while ago that got a bit of attention, so I have decided to do a little bit of a re-write and update!
The new code is called lsif, and it lists network interfaces on a computer, their IP address, and what that IP address resolves into. You can download a copy from github by doing:
git clone git://github.com/ajrisi/lsif.git
Or, visit the page at github for more download options! As always, post here with any questions, and I will do my best to help you out! Of course, the benefit of using something like github is that if I need to do a revision, sending it out to all of you is easy. Enjoy!
Recently I decided to write a key logger for Linux, both as an exercise, and because I couldn’t seem to find a good one out there. I wrote up a quick (and simple) key logger that will listen for keys based on the event input chain that Linux uses, and then echo them to stdout. This allows you to send the key presses over a network, save them to file, or do almost anything else you can think of. This code will auto-detect the keyboard if possible, or the keyboard device can be listed on the command line.
tar xvf keylogger.tar.gz
cd keylogger
makesudomakeinstall
Documentation:
Look at keylogger’s man page: man keylogger
My code was based off of uberkey, and a few other key loggers available on the net.
Note: There may occasionally be discrepencies between the documentation for the program (man keylogger), and the program itself. If this happens, then the documentation will normally be updated within a day or two.
Alright, I haven’t blogged in a while. It’s true, I know it. I’m sorry, OK?! Gorsh!
Enough “hellos”, lets get down to business. Rachel got found (my missing friend). I made a RFID door unlocker. I am all ready to start another quarter at RIT. And this, this is a funny comic:
I feel like its a delightful statement on the dangers of “feature creep”, oh, and funny. Yep, lots of funny. Anyway, just saying “Hi”, and that I hope to be posting more when I am back in the run of things at RIT. Yay school!
Since its raining, and I find it far too exciting to blog, I just thought I would let you all know that I am in my new tent! I got a Big Agnes Emerald Mountain SL3 (for $205 – dont ask me how), and I thought I would try it out in the yard. It’s awesome! Loads of room and waterproof right from the get-go. I am impressed Big Agnes!
If only thunderstorms and daisy-chained extension cords went together just a little bit better…
Ok, so I haven’t written in a while. I did a stint with a military contractor and made a robot. I’ve been busy! This, however, demanded just a lick of attention. The Secret of Invisibility. Are you f***ing kidding me internet? Really? Really? Cause I thought we tried to avoid stuff that is so clearly bull. Guess not.
Heck, I almost feel bad for sending them the traffic.

Legal: I in no way suport the product featured at http://www.thesecretofinvisibility.com/. In fact, I think its unbelievable that they try to sell such utter s**t.
