ABSTRACT AND OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT In this project we will be setting up a Wireless intercom using the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. The contributions of this project are : to establish (i) Full duplex communication between two users (ii) Half duplex call like walki talki (iii) Text messages and also to perform (iv) Conference call between many users These are done within the coverage range of Raspberry pi without much cost. In this project the raspberry pi is programmed to operate as server using raspbian OS, the mumble software is installed in the mobile to interact with the server and establish the service. - 3 - 3. INTRODUCTION RaspberryPi : The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capable little device that enables people of all ages to explore computing, and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python. It’s capable of doing everything you’d expect a desktop computer to do, from browsing the internet and playing high-definition video, to making spreadsheets, word-processing, and playing games. The Raspberry Pi has the ability to interact with the outside world, and has been used in a wide array of digital maker projects, from music machines and parent detectors to weather stations and tweeting birdhouses with infra-red cameras. We want to see the Raspberry Pi being used by kids all over the world to learn to program and understand how computers work. Here in this project we have used a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B as shown below. Figure 1.1 Raspberry PI’s Parts - 4 - Mumble Server: A Mumble server (called Murmur) has a root channel and a hierarchical tree of channels beneath it. Users can temporarily connect channels to create larger virtual channels. This is useful during larger events where a small group of users may be chatting in a channel, but are linked to a common channel with other users to hear announcements. It also matches team-based first-person shooter (FPS) games. Each channel has an associated set of groups and access control lists which control user permissions. The system supports many usage scenarios, at the cost of added configuration complexity. Mumble application is an Open-Source Platform and it can be found available in the Google Play Store. Figure 1.2 Mumble’s logo Figure1.3 Mumble App - 5 - 4. GETTING STARTED WITH RASPBERRY PI Here we will be learning on how to get started with the Raspberry Pi. Also on how to setup the Raspberry Pi on our first Boot. The required materials are provided below, Hardware: o A Raspberry Pi computer with an SD card o A monitor with a cable (and, if needed, an HDMI adaptor) o A USB keyboard and mouse o A power supply o Headphones or speakers (optional) o An Ethernet cable (optional) Software: o Raspbian, installed via NOOBS STEP 1: Installing the NOOBS or the Raspbian OS onto the SD card. Here in this step we will be installing the Raspbian Operating System in the SD card (minimum 16GB free space required). ➢ Initially before starting the SD card must be formatted so that the OS runs without problem. To format the SD card, if you are using Windows OS download the SD card formatter from the link below. https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/ ➢ Insert the SD card onto a SD card reader and then in the formatter select the required drive that need to be formatted. ➢ Now install the NOOBS or the Raspbian OS from the official Raspberry Pi website https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ - 6 - ➢ Now the installed OS file has to be written as an image file into the SD card so for this we require a software named, Windows32disk Imager. Download this from the link as below, https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/ ➢ Using this Disk Imager the image file is now written into the SD card and is now ready to be inserted into the Raspberry Pi. STEP 2: WORKING WITH RASPBERRY PI: METHOD 1: Connecting Raspberry Pi with an HDMI display. Here the Raspberry Pi is connected to the HDMI display via the HDMI port available in the Pi module. ➢ If in case we do not have a monitor with an HDMI Port the Pi is connected through an HDMI-VGA or DVI adapter. The adapter is easily available and is as shown. Figure 1.4 HDMI to VGA adapter ➢ As soon as you connect the Raspberry Pi with and HDMI display the Pi will boot up automatically during the first boot some of the parameters of the pi must be configured such as the Time Zone, Language etc.…. NOTE: - 7 - ➢ If in case on the first Boot-up of the Pi the HDMI display shows ‘No Signal’ or The screen remains Blank the following configuration changes must be applied in the ‘CONFIG.TXT’ which is present in the SD card drive. CONFIGURATION CHANGES FOR THE HDMI DISPLAY In the ‘config.txt’ text file the following changes in the code must be applied for the proper display. Applying these changes enables the user the work on the Graphical User Interface of the Raspbian OS #hdmi_force_hotplug=1 #hdmi_drive=2 To solve the problem you just have to uncomment (ie remove the sign # at the beginning) these lines and save the file (Ctrl + o, Enter, Ctrl + x with nano). Restart your Raspberry Pi and you’re done! Just for information, here is what these two lines do: • hdmi_force_hotplug=1: Forces to display through HDMI event if no HDMI screen is detected. Remember to re-comment this line if you need to display the Raspberry Pi on a different port than the HDMI. • hdmi_drive=2: Trying to use HDMI mode rather than DVI mode, this allows you to solve certain sound problems. METHOD 2: SETTING UP THE RASPBERRY PI FOR WINDOWS OS - 8 - In order to work with the Raspberry Pi using the Laptop with a Windows OS the ‘VNC Viewer’ must be used through which the Graphical User Interface of the Raspbian OS can be accessed. Downloading and Working with the VNC Viewer: STEP 1: ➢ The VNC Viewer is open-source and can be downloaded from https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/download/viewer/ ➢ VNC is thus extracted and is downloaded and is available for accessing the Raspberry Pi. STEP 2: ➢ Power up the Raspberry Pi and the Wi-Fi module that is present in the Pi can be connected through the ‘Mobile Hotspot’ of the Laptop. ➢ Turning on the Mobile Hotspot in the Laptop will connect automatically with the Raspberry Pi and the IP Address of the Raspberry Pi will be displayed. ➢ This IP Address is then entered into the VNC Server and the GUI of the Raspberry Pi is then displayed. The ‘Username’ and the ‘Password’ of the Raspberry Pi are default and they are USERNAME: pi. PASSWORD: raspberry. ➢ Thus now we are ready to work with the Raspberry Pi in a GUI environment provided by the VNC server. All the inbuilt applications and the ‘Terminal’ within the Pi can be directly accessed. - 9 - Figure 1.5 Raspberry pi’s desktop in VNC viewer 5. Configuring the Raspberry Pi with the Mumble Server: With our Raspberry Pi powered up and at the Desktop, we need to open a terminal and install the Mumble server software. - 10 - Figure 1.6 Installing and Updating Mumble Server in Raspberry pi using the terminal 1. sudo apt update && sudo apt install mumble-server Next step is to configure mumble-server. In the terminal type 1. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mumble-server Figure 1.7 configuration of Mumble server - 11 - Figure 1.8 configuration of Mumble server-setting the password A new menu will appear and it will ask you a series of questions. We need to do the following. ➢ Set Autostart to Yes ➢ Set High Priority to Yes ➢ Create a SuperUser password.

  • Implementing an Ipv6 Moving Target Defense on a Live Network
    Implementing an IPv6 Moving Target Defense on a Live Network Matthew Dunlop∗†, Stephen Groat∗†, Randy Marchanyy, Joseph Tront∗ ∗Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering yVirginia Tech Information Technology Security Laboratory Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA 24061, USA Email: fdunlop,sgroat,marchany,[email protected] Abstract The goal of our research is to protect sensitive communications, which are commonly used by government agencies, from eavesdroppers or social engineers. In prior work, we investigated the privacy implications of stateless and stateful address autoconfiguration in the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). Autoconfigured addresses, the default addressing system in IPv6, provide a third party a means to track and monitor targeted users globally using simple tools such as ping and traceroute. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) addresses contain a static DHCP Unique Identifier (DUID) that can be used to track and tie a stateless address to a host identity. Our research focuses on preventing the issue of IPv6 address tracking as well as creating a \moving target defense." The Moving Target IPv6 Defense (MT6D) dynamically hides network and transport layer addresses of packets in IPv6 to achieve anonymity and protect against certain classes of network attacks. Packets are encrypted to prevent traffic correlation, which provides significantly improved anonymity. MT6D has numerous applications ranging from hosts desiring to keep their locations private to hosts conducting sensitive communications. This paper explores the results of implementing a proof of concept MT6D prototype on a live IPv6 network. 1 Introduction More networks are deploying the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) due to the lack of available addresses in the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4).

  • IT Department User Survey Report
    IT Department User Survey Report Introduction The CERN computing user community is very heterogeneous consisting of people having varying backgrounds and working environments. There are over 30000 external and internal computer users at CERN belonging to over 15 departments and these user have different work habits and methods of working. In addition, user preferences are very strong in terms of hardware and software, which makes it impossible to propose closed solutions for services delivery. The IT-CDA group is concerned with the way users collaborate, their devices and their software applications and so it is important for the group to have a better understanding of the user community and their traits. The results listed in this document can be used as a reference to help IT-CDA members to improve on their services. Objective The project aims at understanding the user community better and to do this data was collected in order to evaluate: • The use cases of the CERN computer users. • User working preferences. • Why people make their computing choices. • The software people are using. • Which public IT supported services are preferred. • Which other services people prefer using instead of central IT services. Project Exclusions The project is not intended as an exercise of evaluating new tools or for recommending any particular hardware or software. On top of this it was not the aim to do any requirements gathering or to gather data relating to user satisfaction. Project audience Data was collected from all CERN computer users including external users. All departments and experiments were invited to take part.

  • Mumble-Server Pi – Student Worksheet
    Mumble-Server Pi – Student Worksheet Learning Outcomes • Learn the basics of IoT; • Understand the concepts of a Mumble-server; • Learn how to configure and use a Mumble-se6rver. Background Raspbian is a Debian-based computer operating system for the Raspberry Pi computer. There are several versions of Raspbian including: Raspbian Stretch and Raspbian Jessie. Raspbian was created by Mike Thompson and Peter Green as an independent project, with an initial build completed in June 2012. Since 2015, Raspbian has been officially provided by the Raspberry Pi Foundation as its primary operating system for the family of Raspberry Pi single-board computers and is highly optimized for the Raspberry Pi line's low-performance ARM CPUs. The internet of things, or IoT, is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. IoT devices could be a person with a heart monitor implant, a farm animal with a biochip transponder, an automobile that has built-in sensors to alert the driver when tire pressure is low or any other natural or man-made object that can be assigned an IP address and is able to transfer data over a network. Increasingly, organisations in a variety of industries are using IoT to operate more efficiently, better understand customers to deliver enhanced customer service, improve decision-making and increase the value of the business. Mumble is a voice over IP (VoIP) application primarily designed for use by gamers and is similar to programs such as TeamSpeak.
