netbook fever has reached our days and from Linux to the Fund have decided to do a little research on the support of the audit suites, and these smaller netbooks that can be as practical for these purposes, for its size and portability.
In the beginning we have focused on the 2 models cheaper and affordable that we can find on the market, which is the Acer Aspire One and ASUS Eee 900 (or higher with the same Chipeta). Right in the beginning we realize that these netbook share Atheros 5006x chipset, which is not supported for entry into the suite of audit, but we shall see, applying a simple patch, we can monitor and inject packets normally.
| Chipset Model | chipset support working? | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Acer Aspire One Atheros 5006x (AR242x) | If | If | |
| Asus Eee 900 16GB | Atheros 5006x (AR242x) | If | If |
| Dell Mini 9 | Broadcom 4312 (miniPCI) | "? | not |
| HP Mini-Note 2133 Broadcom 4311BG | (miniPCI) | If | not |
Atheros Chipset (Acer Aspire One and Asus Eee 900)
Just see the wireless card chipset of these two models and good vibrations arise, since atheros chipset is widely supported in linux. To use the distribution wifislax to these two models have to do a series of changes in the distribution wifislax base and prepare a pendrive (if applicable) Prepare
- wifislax
- lib.lzm
- Download the file ( http://rapidshare.com/files/139704217/lib.lzm.html ) that gives support for Atheros cards for wifislax
- Open ISO with an ISO editor's (or Archives)
Copy the downloaded lib.lzm - our wifislax iso in / wifislax / base "(overwrite)
- Save changes
- Ready! our ISO already supported preparanda Atheros, and we can burn to a CD
(To burn it to a USB flash drive in live mode, follow the instructions at the end - Appendix A -)
In our test we were also trying to run another 2 models slightly higher in price. These models are the Dell Mini 9 and the HP Mini-Note. These models but are more usable for day to day, to be something bigger The previous and size of keys, more usable, has worse support for audit suites. The chipsets of these models are Broadcom, the Caules in itself have a more complicated support the cards as they bring these laptops are miniPCI models, which are not supported in these suites. Although we will continue researching for future updates.
== Appendix A: Live-USB Pendrive ==
- Download files needed:
Unzip
http://telefonica.net/web2/wifislax/modulos-extra/ws31usb.zip
- contents of the ISO in the pendrive
- [Only Wifiway] Rename the folder "wifiway" a "wifislax"
- Copy initrd.gz "&" vmlinuz "(ws31usb.zip file) to folder" / boot "pendrive of
- [Optional] Customize
boot options only have to edit the file "/ boot / syslinux / syslinux.cfg" with a text editor and copy and paste the entries you want to add the desired cheatcodes, for example.
- bootinst.sh Run the file (Linux) or bootinst.bat (Windows), from pendrive as root if you're in linux
I hope you serve this small guide, and from Linux to the Fund, will try to go to expand the information as we can prove some new netbooks on the market.
