Re: Durable AP Needed Ray Davidson (May 22)
Similar price point to the Alix system, and not as compact, but more ports. The case has a "hidden" section with 2 USB
ports that could be used for wireless and/or flash storage (hard drive not included, but you have some lying around,
right?)

Re: Durable AP Needed Kevin Shaw (May 22)
I was thinking along the same lines, like a build-your-own or perhaps
cutting apart a couple of commercial v routers, hacking them together and
custom fitting into a pelican case for which antennas and ports become
exposed when open. You need it protected in transit then moderately on
site, right?

All the rugged ones I have ever encountered - Cisco and Meraki - did not
have switch ports, but they may have models so equipped.

Re: Durable AP Needed Ben Jackson (May 22)
I was thinking something similar, but perhaps built into a smallish
Pelican case rather into a stock metal case.

Re: Durable AP Needed Larry Pesce (May 22)
Josh, what immediatley came to mind was something like this:

Metal case, removable antennas, highly configurable. Not enough ports
and no N support.

Durable AP Needed Joshua Wright (May 22)
I'm hoping someone can recommend a durable AP for use in demos and
travel. I typically carry a few Linksys WRT's, or newer E4200's, but
between my leaving home or a hotel and getting home, they are frequently
broken (along with a suspicious "Hey, we invaded your privacy in the
name of security theater TSA flyer"). Not that I'm jaded, or anything.

I need the AP to be 802.11 b/g/n (5 GHz a/n is optional) with at...

Thank Robin for putting this together, and writing up the results. I'm
going to keep this bookmarked as the go to reference when I get asked about
how to get into infosec.

Re: VMware Player and promiscuous mode? Pat Moloney (May 15)
Esx has a flag in the configuration also to deny promisc. Check the
txt configuration for in the vm.

Note: promisc will not work on a wireless interface on a windows host.
I tried that and remember it failing.

Re: VMware Player and promiscuous mode? Steve Passino (May 14)
Not sure if this applies to vmplayer - but check your network settings
to make sure the VM is granted access to run the network card in promisc
mode.

With virtualbox, I know there is a setting to allow/disallow the virtual
network interface the ability to go into promisc - making a bit of a
guess here that vmplayer has the same set of controls......

Hi Timothy,

I'm not sure if what you're attempting is possible (and I'd argue
that's a feature as, when using virtual machines defensively, or for
malware analysis, I surely wouldn't want a compromised guest OS having
access to host machine network traffic). On the other hand, I'm not
sure what that noPromisc setting really intends to do.

When I want...

Re: WiFi Pineapple Mark IV Sherwyn (May 11)
For that price point its not bad. I had one years ago when it was just the
La Fonera with Jasager might be time to get the new hardware.

As for Mubix I believe he still does a few segment on Hak5 here and there.
