This post discusses how one could use Reaver to make use of a flaw in WPS to recover a WPA password. Tomato and DD-WRT firmwares don’t support WPS so my network is safe. Lesson: buy and use a router that you can flash Tomato or DD-WRT. On another note, WEP passwords could also be compromised read more
I already discussed how one can make [use](http://blog.nguyenvq.com/2010/10/30/google-voice-on-asterisk-with-an-auto-attendant-and-free-calls/) of [Google Voice](http://voice.google.com/) with [Asterisk](http://www.asterisk.org/) — the possibilities are limitless. However, all this requires a server running Asterisk. I recently explored how one can explore other options of Google Voice (or other VoIP services) without the use of a server. Since I own routers running tomato and read more
In my previous employments, I remember co-workers having to use [VPN](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_network) when they work from home. They can access everything at the company as if they were physically on-site. I haven’t tried configuring it on my home network since if I ever needed anything, I ssh’d into my home NAS, and grabbed stuff from there. read more
I assume you have a compatible router with usb ports with the [Teddy Bear](http://www.linksysinfo.org/forums/showthread.php?t=63587) mod Tomato firmware installed. [These](http://www.society9.com/setting-up-a-low-cost-nas-using-tomato/) instructions show that the USB NAS portion is quite easy. Once the hard drives are connected, they are automatically mounted in the router’s Linux OS. A computer on the same network can connect to the router’s read more
All my routers at home are either on the Tomato firmware or DD-WRT. I’ve set up wireless bridge many times but keep having to google it up as I keep forgetting the exact steps. I’m going to record it now for my reference. The following is taken from [here](http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Client_Bridged#V24_builds), the V24 build instructions. 1. Do read more
[Recently](http://blog.nguyenvq.com/2010/02/18/linksys-wrt160nv3-with-dd-wrt-as-wireless-bridge/) I’ve been playing with [DD-WRT](http://www.dd-wrt.com/) as my firmware of choice for my main router at home and the one I use as a [wireless bridge](http://blog.nguyenvq.com/2010/04/17/repeater-bridge-with-dd-wrt-linksys-wrt160nv3/). I recently purchased an Asus RT-N16 for a variety of reasons: 1. Gigabit ethernet, 2. DD-WRT, 3. 2 usb ports (for NAS and printers), 4. Wireless N, and 5. read more
My Trendnet 652BRP primary router (DD-WRT) with a Linksys WRT160Nv3 (DD-WRT) as a wireless bridge did not work too well (setup [here](http://blog.nguyenvq.com/2010/02/18/linksys-wrt160nv3-with-dd-wrt-as-wireless-bridge/)). Sometimes my laptop disconnects to the wireless network and I have to unplug/re-plug the primary router to be able to reconnect. This occurs fairly often (2x a week?). I don’t know what the read more
I recently bought a refurbished linksys wrt160n-rm from amazon for $31. I ordered it before getting DD-WRT working on my trendnet router. I didn’t want to hassle with returning it, so I decided to turn it into a wireless bridge, something I wanted to do for a while. With the refurbished router, I had to read more
So I own a relatively inexpensive trendnet router (on sale ~ $25) for a while now, and I’ve been trying to get DD-WRT working with it since having it. This site says it is supported, but I couldn’t find a firmware available until now. This post (page 16) has a link to this site that read more
