No way! I really like the look of their price. So long as it's root-able I'll be fine with it :wink:

$200 bounty for a reversible root and $800 bounty for Honeycomb/ICS ROM

My lecturer reckons Packet Sniffing is the easiest option. Anyone know of a simple packet sniffer which works over wireless networks and can get encrypted information?

I come to you guys as my last resort to figure out an idea for a honours project idea... I'm supposed to be working with Kinect but I'm stumped for any innovative ideas...

Anyone? :colondollar:

How good is Kinect at facial recognition? You could have some sort of set up going where it unlocks a door when it sees someone (like those floor sensitive sensors), or unlocks for specific authorised people when it recognises them -without swiping a card or ID, and it doubles up as a camera.

Don't know much so I don't know if you're looking for something very Tech specific.

Yeah, I was thinking about facial recognition, not sure, need more research.

Only problem with facial recognition and doors, is that... what happens if you're in a group, and 1 person of that group isn't allowed? He/She would probably be able to get in unless you implemented one of those things you get train stations. The 3 pronged thing that rotates as you walk through.

Edit:
or the Dundee library. :p:

It's a little incoherent but might help you get started.
Note that you cannot be completely passive (i.e. just sniff). You'll need to inject something to be able to get a foot in the door of the ssl encryption.

Probably a repost, but I do like it :smile:

That will let you see the traffic, but it will still be encrypted.

SSLStrip (as I said above) is a good starting point and I've had it working. I was able to sniff traffic on my network at home and recover my own GMail password from the passing traffic - it seems Google aren't hashing the password before transmission, just bundling up the plaintext in the encrypted stream (or at least this was the case a while ago).

Will this allow me to connect two Ethernet cables as if it was just one long cable? It's too late because I've already bought it (cheap..), but I'm just wondering if it'll actually do what I want it to.

It'll get sorted at some point I suppose. :beard:

I don't need access to the admin CP for what I'm doing right now, but I'm sure it'll come in handy later. :colonhash:

Sigh, was careless and didn't realise that OpenSUSE was installing to my external hard disk (sdc) rather than my internal hard disk (sdb). :frown:

It's had a change from ntfs to ext4, a write of 4.7 GB-ish, and a second format change to NTFS so I can use Recuva on it in Windows. Going to see how much I can recover when not super busy. Wagers on how much I can get back?

FYI and for your general amusement, the reason it wrote to the external drive was because it apparently had no partition table data. Luckily, most of the drive was backed up, just lost SOME of my music, of which all of it is recoverable from a share back at my out of term address.

The recovery attempt is purely for curiosity reasons.

EDIT: And we've lost another great: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/10/24/father_lisp_ai_john_mccarthy_dies/
