Personal Area Networks: Solutions and Market Opportunities

With almost all the media attention on the evolution of 3G/4G Wide Area Networks (WAN), advancements in Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) technologies such as WiMAX, and Wireless Local Area Network (LAN) improvements through 802.11n and MIMO, many people do not realize the role, importance and market opportunities for Personal Area Network (PAN) solutions. Whereas WAN, MAN, and LAN solutions are often focused mainly on coverage for bearer communications, PAN provides a “last meter” solution for application personalization as well as opportunities for non-voice communications, machine-to-machine (M2M) communications, and a variety of next generation applications and application-enablers such as presence detection, identify recognition, and more.This report provides the reader with everything needed to understand PAN technology, solutions and market opportunities. The report covers technical options, standards, commercial applications, trends and the future of PAN. It also discusses PAN vendors and products. The report also addresses more advanced topics such as security and quality of service (QoS). The report also provides a case study analysis for implementing a location tracking system with Zigbee-based active RFID.

Target Audience for Report

Wireless service providers including cellular mobile network operators, WiMAX, WLAN, and others
Anyone seeking an understanding of how to leverage PAN to complement their network
Investors in the area of wireless application personalization
Wireless component vendors and OEM manufacturers
Application developers and systems integrators
Wireless application and content providers

ALFA-­AWUS036H & ALFA-­AWUS050NH INSTALLING/UPDATING DRIVERS RTL8187, r8187, RT2800usb on UBUNTU

NOTE: For surfing Internet with ALFA-AWUS050NH on Ubuntu Jaunty with rt2870sta driver, you must use the Kernel "2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu", without change or updates the drivers modules. NOTE: The tutorial is not related to Ubuntu karmic. Driver RTL8187/Stacks-­mac80211 (ref. ALFA-­AWUS036h) ­- These drivers, for surfing Internet, are more stable than r8187, and fully compatible with Network-Manager 0.7 installed by default on Ubuntu 9.04. Network-Manager 0.7 installed by default on Ubuntu 9.04. ­- Supports all encryption without problems. (OPEN, WEP and WPA/WPA2) ­- With Compat-Wireless, the "injection" working, but for support “Fragmentation attack” (opt. -5) you need to install one patch. - The RX sensitivity and packets injection is less, related to drivers r8187. Driver r8187/Stacks-ieee80211 (ref. ALFA-AWUS036h) - This driver is recommended for use with the Suite of Aircrack-ng, but not particularly suitable for Internet connections, as less stable and disc...

Sniffing SSL traffic using MITM attack / ettercap, fragrouter, webmitm and dnsspoof.

Before reading on this guide is for educational purposes only. I take no responsibility from what people do with this info. First thing is to get fragrouter. I don't know if you can use other tools provided with the backtrack, there are 100 ways to skin a cat and this is just my way. http://packetstormsecurity.nl/UNIX/IDS/nidsbench/fragrouter.html There are lots of things that you can do with fragrouter but we are going to use fragrouter to setup IP forwarding. We do this with this command : Code: fragrouter -B1Squash that window and put it to one side. Now open another shell and we will start dnsspoof with this command Code: dnsspoof -i ath0 (or whatever network interface you are using)Again put that window to one side and lets load up webmitm. Webmitm will issue our ssl cert to the victim so we can decrypt the traffic we capture. Start webmitm by typing Code: webmitm -dNow we can start the arp spoof. To start ettercap type Code: ettercap -T -M arp:remote /router addy/ /victim a...
