Creating a mesh sensor network using Raspberry Pi and XBee radio modules By Michael Forcella In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE In The Department of Computer Science State University of New York New Paltz, NY 12561 May 2017 Creating a mesh sensor network using Raspberry Pi and XBee radio modules Michael Forcella State University of New York at New Paltz _________________________________ We the thesis committee for the above candidate for the Master of Science degree, hereby recommend acceptance of this thesis. ______________________________________ David Richardson, Thesis Advisor Department of Biology, SUNY New Paltz ______________________________________ Chirakkal Easwaran, Thesis Committee Member Department of Computer Science, SUNY New Paltz ______________________________________ Hanh Pham, Thesis Committee Member Department of Computer Science, SUNY New Paltz Approved on __________________ Submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements for the Master of Science degree in Computer Science at the State University of New York at New Paltz ABSTRACT A mesh network is a type of network topology in which one or more nodes are capable of relaying data within the network. The data is relayed by the router nodes, which send the messages via one or more 'hops' until it reaches its intended destination. Mesh networks can be applied in situations where the structure or shape of the network does not permit every node to be within range of its final destination. One such application is that of environmental sensing. When creating a large network of sensors, however, we are often limited by the cost of such sensors. This thesis presents a low-cost mesh network framework, to which any number of different sensors can be attached. -
Introduction Use Runit with Traditional Init (Sysvinit)
2021/07/26 19:10 (UTC) 1/12 Runit Runit Introduction runit is a UNIX init scheme with service supervision. It is a cross-platform Unix init scheme with service supervision, a replacement for sysvinit, and other init schemes and supervision that are used with the traditional init. runit is compatible with djb's daemontools. In Unix-based computer operating systems, init (short for initialization) is the first process started during booting of the computer system. Init is a daemon process that continues running until the system is shut down. Slackware comes with its own legacy init (/sbin/init) from the sysvinit package, that used to be included in almost all other major Linux distributions. The init daemon (or its replacement) is characterised by Process ID 1 (PID 1). To read on the benefits of runit, see here: http://smarden.org/runit/benefits.html * Unless otherwise stated, all commands in this article are to be run by root. Use runit with traditional init (sysvinit) runit is not provided by Slackware, but a SlackBuild is maintained on https://slackbuilds.org/. It does not have any dependencies. As we do not want yet to replace init with runit, run the slackbuild with CONFIG=no: CONFIG=no ./runit.SlackBuild Then install the resulting package and proceed as follows: mkdir /etc/runit/ /service/ cp -a /usr/doc/runit-*/etc/2 /etc/runit/ /sbin/runsvdir-start & Starting via rc.local For a typical Slackware-stlyle service, you can edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local file if [ -x /sbin/runsvdir-start ]; then /sbin/runsvdir-start & fi and then edit write /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown #!/bin/sh SlackDocs - https://docs.slackware.com/ Last update: 2020/05/06 08:08 (UTC) howtos:slackware_admin:runit https://docs.slackware.com/howtos:slackware_admin:runit RUNIT=x$( /sbin/pidof runsvdir ) if [ "$RUNIT" != x ]; then kill $RUNIT fi Then give rc.local_shutdown executive permission: chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown and reboot Starting via inittab (supervised) Remove the entries in /etc/rc.d/rc.local and /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown described above. -

GPSD Client HOWTO
7/16/2017 GPSD Client HOWTO GPSD Client HOWTO Eric S. Raymond <[email protected]> version 1.19, Jul 2015 Table of Contents Introduction Sensor behavior matters What GPSD does, and what it cannot do How the GPSD wire protocol works Interfacing from the client side The sockets interface Shared-memory interface D-Bus broadcasts C Examples C++ examples Python examples Other Client Bindings Java Perl Backward Incompatibility and Future Changes Introduction This document is a guide to interfacing client applications with GPSD. It surveys the available bindings and their use cases. It also explains some sharp edges in the client API which, unfortunately, are fundamental results of the way GPS sensor devices operate, and suggests tactics for avoiding being cut. Sensor behavior matters GPSD handles two main kinds of sensors: GPS receivers and AIS receivers. It has rudimentary support for some other kinds of specialized geolocation-related sensors as well, notably compass and yaw/pitch/roll, but those sensors are usually combined with GPS/AIS receivers and behave like them. In an ideal world, GPS/AIS sensors would be oracles that you could poll at any time to get clean data. But despite the existence of some vendor-specific query and control strings on some devices, a GPS/AIS sensor is not a synchronous device you can query for specified data and count on getting a response back from in a fixed period of time. It gets radio data on its own schedule (usually once per second for a GPS), and emits the reports it feels like reporting asynchronously with variable lag during the following second. -

Python Gps2system. 2/25/2017
Python GPS2system. 2/25/2017 Overview The GPS system was designed to play audio clips along the route of the New Hope Valley Railroad. The initial impedes was to play sound effects during the Halloween train rides. At a specified latitude and longitude the device would play a specific sound effect. After the system is powered up, it may take the GPS receiver a couple of minutes to lock on to enough satellites to retrieve valid data. The system then runs autonomously. On start up, the LED indicator will come on after the linux system loads and the python application has been launched. This takes less than a minute. The indicator will begin to flash when the GPS receiver is locked and is sending valid data to the system. This could take several minutes, depending on the atmospheric conditions. In normal operation the LED will flash approximately once per second. The LED will remain on when an audio track is being played and when the system is capturing and storing positional data. Details All of the files are located in the /home/pi/gps2 folder. To begin the process we have to know the latitude and longitude of the locations that will play the audio clip. In the first iteration of this system, a Parallax BS2 stamp chip was used. This system was used for a couple of years. The limitation of this original system, which was chosen because it used a BASIC programming language, was the finite memory of the Parallax chip. Since the route of the railway was NE a compromise was made to use only the latitude data. -
Slides for the S6 Lightning Talk
The s6 supervision suite Laurent Bercot, 2017 What is an init system ? - “init” is vague terminology. “init wars” happened because nobody had a clear vision on what an init system even is or should be. - The 4 elements of an init system: /sbin/init, pid 1, process supervision, service management. - Not necessarily in the same process. Definition: process supervision A long-lived process (daemon) is supervised when it’s spawned by the supervision tree, a set of stable, long-lived processes started at boot time by pid 1. (Often just pid 1.) Supervision is a good pattern: the service is stable and launched in a reproducible env. Supervision only applies to daemons. Service management: definition - Boot time: bring all services up - Shutdown time: bring all services down - More generally: change services’ states Services can be oneshots (short-lived programs with side effects) or longruns (daemons). They have dependencies, which the service manager should enforce. What features do “init”s offer ? - Integrated init systems (systemd, launchd, upstart): “the big guys”. All four elements in one package, plus out-of-scope stuff. - sysvinit, BSD init: /sbin/init, pid 1, supervision (/etc/inittab, /etc/gettys). Service manager not included: sysv-rc, /etc/rc - OpenRC: service manager. - Epoch: similar to sysvinit + sysv-rc The “daemontools family” - /etc/inittab supervision is impractical; nobody uses it for anything else than gettys. - daemontools (DJB, 1998): the first project offering flexible process supervision. Realistic to supervise all daemons with it. - daemontools-encore, runit, perp, s6: supervision suites. - nosh: suite of tools similar to s6, in C++ Supervision suites are not enough - Only ¼ of an init system. -

Only when I fall do I get up again”. - Vincent van Gogh © Ekhator Stephen Aimuanmwosa, (BTH) Karlskrona January, 2010 Email: [email protected] ii Evaluating Kismet and NetStumbler as Network Security Tools & Solutions ABSTRACT Despite advancement in computer firewalls and intrusion detection systems, wired and wireless networks are experiencing increasing threat to data theft and violations through personal and corporate computers and networks. The ubiquitous WiFi technology which makes it possible for an intruder to scan for data in the air, the use of crypto-analytic software and brute force application to lay bare encrypted messages has not made computers security and networks security safe more so any much easier for network security administrators to handle. In fact the security problems and solution of information systems are becoming more and more complex and complicated as new exploit security tools like Kismet and Netsh (a NetStumbler alternative) are developed. This thesis work tried to look at the passive detection of wireless network capability of kismet and how it function and comparing it with the default windows network shell ability to also detect networks wirelessly and how vulnerable they make secured and non-secured wireless network. -
