Installing MRTG and adding additional Data Sources @ Windows

This guide explains how to  install MRTG on Windows and monitor different signals like memory and network usage.

MRTG is a software used to monitor different “signals” and display them in nice graphs.

I will use Windows XP as Operating System but it also works on Windows Server 2003.

Dot LED Matrix Project

Hi guys, I will also soon be posting pictures & schematics of my small Dot LED Matrix project which I am doing at school.

We had some Profilab classes at school and the exercices were too easy.. so I thought of other funny things to do. The Teacher agreed on helping me. Stay tuned

So, we have been working on this, and we have failed because the clock isn’t synchronized, we generate it with hardware and input it into the computer, which epic fails.

Going to check out for more solutions…

Happy new Year

Happy 2009. I wish you health and whatever you may want

By the way, the people from gpl-violations have not responded to my email about the E-Tech router that is violating the GNU-GPL license.

I have bought a wrt54gl and installed openwrt on it, it is very interesting. Can’t wait to spend more time playing with it.

E-Tech ADRT04 and OpenWRT?

Hello everyone, I’ve been working on my router for 2 days now.

PCB

I have had it for some time now and I knew it ran busybox, but I didn’t have a telnet login and the Webpage didn’t have any Injection exploits..so a few days ago I wanted to see if there was a new firmware for my router, and I downloaded a *new* package, I just took the wrong .rar, which ended up being a good thing…

There was an Executable in there and so I tried it, it logged in into the router with telnet, and gave me back from juicy informations like the Hardware Revision. I proceeded in sniffing the program logging into the router, and so I had my login.

I spent some time trying out things..and I ended up looking for some support on google, where I did not find anything. So I decided to rip the router open and analyze it.

That’s where I am currently, finding out stuff about the hardware. I can tell that it runs AR7, a Texas Instrument Chip (Mips) and probably got a 2mb rom. (Not too sure about that).
Well, I’m entering the informations I can find here: http://wiki.openwrt.org/Hardware/E-Tech

It’s a very rewarding experience since I love playing with hardware but never have the *needed* hardware

Btw, Busybox and the linux kernel are licensed under GPL..I wonder why I can’t find the source :/

This is totally not Linux right?

# cat /proc/version

Fixing the joystick of a Sony Ericsson k750i

Hello everyone, I have had my good ol’ k750i for quite some time now and my joystick stopped working..

Most people would throw it away and buy another phone but I am not like that… I wouldn’t throw something away that cost around 300€ just because one lousy little plastic piece that cost 0,10cents stopped working.

IBM 3.0.04 Boot Order

Hello, I just got an old IBM NetVista workstation to play with
The computer has 256mb ram and a Pentium 3 processor.

I wanted to install openBSD on it, but I couldn’t get the computer to boot from the CD, so I had to look around for a solution, the Boot Agent has two modes, normal user mode and admin mode.

In the user mode you can only change the order, like Try network first, then local drives.
But you cannot set the CD boot as highest priority.

That’s why you have to get into the admin mode, to enter that mode, you need to press F1 while the computer boots, and then you can change the boot order.

As I have been thinking of buying a Soekris or any other embedded computer to create a firewall I’ll try to get it running on this workstation first to see if I really need it. (And also if I’m able to get it running).

I might also try to get a (secure) server running.

Well, see you around

Sanitized PHP Include Navigation through GET variable

We all have heard about the Remote File Inclusions, LFI, sql injections and all the other nasty variations of php “hacking”.
This mainly happens because people code pages without being aware of the security of their product.

In this tutorial I will explain how to sanitize a GET variable.
This programming design is used to build pages without using iframes or frames and to optimize the homepage for search engines.

ClickTeam Installer pro error

Hello, If you’ve been trying to create an Installer but it fails at 100% with the error seek failed on an unnamed file then your setup is too big.
You cannot create a file bigger than 2gb because of the filesystem on windows, FAT32 does not handle such big files..

NeonCube Patcher :: not a valid rar

Hi everyone, quick post about the NeonCube patcher.
If you get the error filename.rar is not a valid RAR archive then you forgot a slash in your neoncube.ini. Probably in your patch_folder.
It should look like this : /folder/for/patches/
The last forward slash is very important.

WinMySQLAdmin libmysql.dll error

Hi, I’ve been running XAMPP and having a weird error, here’s the solution.
If you get an error like the following one when using XAMPP and WinMySQLAdmin and want to get rid of it, open the program, go to the .ini tab, and remove the password=Remove_this_part.
You can also remove the program from the Startup folder.

ThisAccess violation at address 10002593 in Module ‘LIBMYSQL.dll’. Read of address 00000000.

Btw, the use of this program is deprecated, use phpmyadmin which also comes with XAMPP.
