IP COP

After seeing the direction certain Linux Distributions were heading in, a group of dissatisfied users/developers decided that there was little reason for the idea of a GPL Linux Firewall Distribution of such potential to be, simply, extinguished.

IPCop Linux is a complete Linux Distribution whose sole purpose is to protect the networks it is installed on. By implementing existing technology, outstanding new technology and secure programming practices IPCop is the Linux Distribution for those wanting to keep their computers/networks safe.

What is Kismet?

Kismet is a 802.11b wireless network sniffer - it is different from a normal network sniffer (such as Ethereal or tcpdump) because it separates and identifies different wireless networks in the area. Kismet works with any wireless card which is capable of reporting raw packets (rfmon support), which include any prism2 based card (Linksys, D-Link, Rangelan, etc), Cisco Aironet cards, and Orinoco based cards. Kismet also supports the WSP100 remote sensor by Network Chemistry.

INFORMATION

Here is a collection of links to help you integrate Linux with Amateur Radio operations. This mostly involves packet radio and the AX.25 protocol for moving TCP/IP over radio.

Important note: This content has not been updated since May of 2001. I don't know if I'll take up the effort again or not. This page is being kept up as a historical resource, and a good launching point, but you should check other resources for newer information.

Good luck! --Delbert Matlock

Linux FreeS/WAN is an implementation of IPSEC & IKE for Linux.

IPSEC is Internet Protocol SECurity. It uses strong cryptography to provide both authentication and encryption services. Authentication ensures that packets are from the right sender and have not been altered in transit. Encryption prevents unauthorised reading of packet contents.

These services allow you to build secure tunnels through untrusted networks. Everything passing through the untrusted net is encrypted by the IPSEC gateway machine and decrypted by the gateway at the other end. The result is Virtual Private Network or VPN. This is a network which is effectively private even though it includes machines at several different sites connected by the insecure Internet.

The IPSEC protocols were developed by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) and will be required as part of IP Version Six, the next generation. They are also being widely implemented for IP V4. In particular, nearly all vendors of any type of firewall or security software have IPSEC support either shipping or in development. There are also several open source IPSEC projects. Several companies are co-operating in the Secure Wide Area Network (S/WAN) project to ensure that products will interoperate. There is also a VPN Consortium fostering cooperation among companies in this area.

Our project's primary objective is to help make IPSEC widespread by providing source code which is freely available, runs on a range of machines including ubiquitous cheap PCs, and is not subject to US or other nations' export restrictions.

with a Linux PDA
by Michael Schmidt

The focus of this article is not about setting up a PDA to run Linux although some of the process will be covered. If you are interested in installing Linux to your PDA, I recommend following some of the links listed in this article.

When I started this article I had two PDAs running PocketPC 2002. Therefore, the first action was to install Linux on one of them. I started with this HOW-TO (http://www.handhelds.org/feeds/bootldr/install.html) and installed the bootloader. The process basically involves using ActiveSync to copy a file to your PocketPC and then execute it. The program allows you to backup your PocketPC ROM and then flashes the new bootloader, which is capable of loading the Linux kernel. When you reboot the iPAQ at this stage you get a nice splash screen and the capability to connect to the PDA using HyperTerminal.

Linux Publix Broadcasting Network

LPBN is in the process of obtaining 501c3 non-profit status. LPBN streams video and audio content for the public good...for free!

We have content of all kinds: Political events, government forums, Linux user group meetings, internet radio stations, technical demos and tutorials, bands, Wireless user groups meetings, medical educational videos, talk shows, music, community groups, artists, and just about any hobby or non-profit you can come up with. We do everything from production to encoding to the streaming itself on our growing network.

Mission Statement: To integrate the spirit of open source with the social fabric.

Linux Public Broadcasting Network is named after the Linux kernel portion of the GNU/Linux Operating System. It is an internet audio/video platform with a distributed network of servers.

The LPBN logo is atomic in nature. The connections that surround the logo represent a fabric of human interactions over a network of GNU/Linux servers.

LPBN is a fractal system of human interaction. As understanding of the LPBN increases, the greater and more complex the level of perception of the LPBN.

Open Projects Net exists to provide an interactive environment for free software and open source projects and support groups. Our network is currently implemented using Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Our aim is to help improve the communication and coordination skills of our participants and to maintain a friendly, efficient environment for project coordination and technical support.

In 1998, OPN had about 100 users and less than 20 channels. We currently peak at nearly 4,000 users and over 1,300 channels. It's hard to maintain a friendly IRC environment, and we put a lot of effort into it. It requires social hacks and software hacks. We continue to grow and we'll keep working to ensure that the network remains a productive and a useful place.

Recipe for a Linux 802.11b Home

Network

by Schuyler Erle

I set about about building a wireless gateway using Linux, 802.11b, and an old PC. The project was a stunning success. Doing it right took some research, and a bit of trial-and-error, but it seemed to me that, in the end, the task was straightforward enough that anyone with the right hardware and a little know-how could easily replicate our results. Therefore I've endeavored to produce my "recipe" for an 802.11b gateway for you to follow at home.

Toshiba SG20 LINUX SERVER

Toshiba's Computer Systems Group (Irvine, CA) recently introduced the Magnia SG20 wireless mobility server, a compact, Linux-based portable wireless server. About the size of a typical notebook computer, the appliance-like device is intended to make it easy to pack up an entire network and take it on the road. Described by Toshiba as a "wireless network in a box that allows users to securely access and share files, printers, and an Internet account," the Magnia SG20 is targeted toward small and medium-sized offices, mobile consultants, remote offices in large organizations, home offices, and other applications needing mobile networking capability.

By simply adding a wireless PC Card, the Magnia SG20 seamlessly connects wireless-enabled devices using Wi-Fi technology (802.11b) without the need for an external 'wireless access point'. The system offers a number of other useful server features, including web caching, content filtering, backup, email services, and remote administration. Configurable firewall protection guards against unwanted intrusion over the Internet, and the device also provides a virtual private network (VPN) feature which offers secure access to authorized users when connecting from offsite locations.

Internally, the Magnia SG20 is based on an Intel 566MHz Celeron processor with up to 512MB ECC SDRAM (128MB is standard). The system comes with one or two 2.5-inch EIDE 15GB or 30GB hard drive (both drives must be of equal capacity). A simple status display is built directly into the device; it consists of a 2-line by 16-character backlit LCD, along with a scroll button.
