    802.11n support in FreeBSD (for the run(4) driver) 15412 F’19 1 / 15 Motivation ● “Do something with operating systems” – OS Junkie: Ubuntu → Fedora → Arch Linux → Gentoo → FreeBSD ● Do something for the community – So much free (not free as in free beer) software out there for use – Time to give something back! ● Faster WiFi doesn’t hurt – Makes FreeBSD more usable ● Less angry users: “But this works on Lunix!” 2 / 15 FreeBSD ● Open source, UNIX ● Official webpage: freebsd.org ● Large, helpful community – IRC Channels on Freenode (#freebsd) – Forums (forums.freebsd.org) – Mailing lists (lists.freebsd.org) ● Latest Release: FreeBSD 12 (2018) 3 / 15 802.11 ● IEEE 802.11: Standard for WiFi – 802.11b: 2.4GHz, Max rate 11 Mbps, range 150 ft., Year 1999 – 802.11g: 2.4 GHz, Max rate 54 Mbps, range 150 ft., Year 2003 – 802.11n: 2.4GHz or 5 GHz, Max rate 300 Mbps (single antenna), 450 Mbps (MIMO), range 175 ft., Year 2009 4 / 15 Ralink ● Produces WiFi chips – See https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Ralink for list of chips ● Linux driver: rt2800usb (USB Ralink 802.11n devices) ( https://wiki.debian.org/rt2800usb). ● FreeBSD driver: run (see https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?run(4) ) – Caveats : “The run driver does not support any of the 802.11n capabilities offered by the RT2800, RT3000 and RT3900 chipsets.“ 5 / 15 Existing code base ● The run driver supports several chipsets and adapters (such as ASUS USB N-66) but without support for 802.11n – This means reduced speeds – This means it will misbehave when you turn on your microwave ● run(4) also has annoying ‘device timeout’ errors where the card stops responding.

SpDlford CSD·TR·93'()7I November 1993 The Design and Implementation of Tripwire: A File System Integrity Checker Purdue Technical Report CSD-TR-93-071 Gene H. Kim and Eugene H. Spafford COAST Laboratory Department of Computer Sciences Purdue University West Lafayette, IN 47907-1398 November 19, 1993 Abstract At the heart of most computer systems is a file system. The file system contains user data, executable programs, configuration and authorization information, and (usually) the base exe­ cutable version of the operating system itself. The ability to monitor file systems for unautho­ rized or unexpected changes gives system administrators valuable data for protecting and main­ taining their systems. However, in environments of many networked heterogeneous platforms with different policies and software, the task of monitoring changes becomes quite daunting. Tripwire is tool that aids UNIXl system administrators and users in monitoring a designated set offiles and directories for any changes.

  • DNS for Rocket Scientists Section 1 Overview
    DNS for Rocket Scientists This Open Source Guide is about DNS and (mostly) BIND 9.x on Linux (REDHAT Versions 6.x and 7.x) and the BSD's (FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD). It is meant for newbies, Rocket Scientist wannabees and anyone in between. This Guide was born out of our first attempts a number of years ago at trying to install a much needed DNS service on an early Redhat Linux system. We completed the DNS 'rite of passage' and found it a pretty unedifying and pointless experience. Health Warning: This is still a work-in-progress. If you have expertise in something - contribute some text. If you find errors don't grumble - tell us. Look at our to do list and if you want to contribute something please do so. And for all that hard work we promise only a warm sense of well-being and an acknowledgment of your work in the licence. Section 1 Overview What's new in Guide version 0.1.27 1.

  • Geckos – a Unix-Like 6502 Operating System
    GeckOS – a Unix-like 6502 operating system Glenn Holmer VCFMW, 2019-09-14 Speaker Bio ✔ a.k.a. "Cenbe" ✔ retired Java programmer/Linux sysadmin ✔ collector of programming languages and operating systems for the Commodore 64: https://www.lyonlabs.org/commodore/ Happy 50th, Unix! wait... “Unix” on a 6502? ARE YOU CRAZY? wait... “Unix” on a 6502? Multi-tasking on a 6502 faces significant obstacles: ✔ typically no hardware memory management ✔ no hardware process protection (“ring 0”) ✔ limited number of registers ✔ single, fixed-location, 256-byte stack “Unix” on a Commodore 64? ✔ It’s been tried with varying degrees of fidelity, e.g. GeckOS, LUnix, Asterix, ACE... ✔ None of these are still being developed; most developers are no longer active in the Commodore community. ✔ GeckOS seems the most complete, most Unix-like and easiest to work with. GeckOS history ✔ Written by André Fachat, originally for the CS/A65 (a 6502 computer with a MMU that he built in 1989). ✔ Later expanded to run on other architectures (PET, Commodore 64). ✔ 2.0.9 released in 2013. ✔ Source available (GPL V2). André Fachat CS/A65 http://www.6502.org/users/andre/csa/index.html GeckOS features ✔ preemptive multi-tasking with priorities, multi-threading (max. 12 tasks, 12 threads) ✔ signals, semaphores ✔ redirection, piping, environment variables ✔ a standard library (lib6502) ✔ cross-assembler “xa” ✗ use 2.1.4h with GeckOS (not newer versions) ✗ output is o65 relocatable file format ✗ can produce label xref with addresses Cenbe’s Commentary on GeckOS I’ve been working on an analysis of GeckOS for those who would like to follow along at home: https://www.lyonlabs.org/commodore/onrequest/geckos-analysis.html ✔ source layout ✔ system initialization ✔ IRQ service routine ✔ forking new processes ✔ scheduler, task switching ✔ running programs from the shell So how does GeckOS do a task switch? ✔ An interrupt is generated every ~20ms by CIA 1 timer B to run the scheduler.

  • Linux Tutorial One -ASP2016- Session 1- 2 August 2016
    Linux Tutorial One -ASP2016- Session 1- 2 August 2016 1.1 Listing files and directories ls (list) When you first login, your current working directory is your home directory. Your home directory has the same name as your user-name, for example, pheneas, and it is where your personal files and subdirectories are saved. To find out what is in your home directory, type % ls (short for list) The ls command lists the contents of your current working directory. There may be no files visible in your home directory, in which case, the LUNIX prompt will be returned. Alternatively, there may already be some files inserted by the System Administrator when your account was created. ls does not, in fact, cause all the files in your home directory to be listed, but only those ones whose name does not begin with a dot (.) Files beginning with a dot (.) are known as hidden files and usually contain important program configuration information. They are hidden because you should not change them unless you are very familiar with LUNIX!!! To list all files in your home directory including those whose names begin with a dot, type % ls -a ls is an example of a command which can take options: -a is an example of an option. The options change the behaviour of the command. There are online manual pages that tell you which options a particular command can take, and how each option modifies the behaviour of the command. (See later in this tutorial) 1.2 Making Directories mkdir (make directory) We will now make a subdirectory in your home directory to hold the files you will be creating and using in the course of this tutorial.

Computer is a machine that performs tasks or calculations according to a set of instructions, or programs. Compared to those early machines, today's computers are amazing. Not only are they thousands of times faster, they can fit on your desk, in your lap, or even in your pocket. Computers work through an interaction of hardware and software. Hardware is physical component of a computer system. It is a tiny rectangular chip inside the computer called the central processing unit (CPU), or microprocessor. It is the "brain" of computer—the part that translate instructions and performs calculations. Hardware items such as monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer, and other items are often called hardware devices. Software refers to the instructions or programs that tell the hardware what to do.
