Lightbulb MACtrack: Track MAC addresses to their street address using WiFi (Phosh Desktop App)
Posted by: RTP - 02-19-2021, 01:03 PM - Forum: PinePhone Software - Replies (2)

I posted video demo last night on a Phosh app/(Python/terminal with icon on interface/desktop). That video has more idea behind how it works/use ideas can be found here: https://youtu.be/Qr-tTC5nQKE
This can be a handy button to have on your phone to identify masked burglars or others by their WiFi devices (phone/pc). Tap MACtrack button and you have their phone mac address/brand name, along with the name of every saved WiFi Network they have printed to your screen, taking advantage of disconnected devices constant search for saved wifi networks. Then when a client/SSID looks interesting ctrl+c drops you to an SSID search prompt where you can find all street addresses/gps tied to the SSID you decided to search for.  MACtrack logs all resulting searches to a file for you.
SCREENSHOTS:


[Image: 0b8c561abfdcc53eb7014cd6765a508b.png]


WHAT DOES IT DO?


(uses WiFi to listen, Cellular to do SSID location (wigle database) lookups; Works on Pinetab with 2nd net device- one to listen, one w/internet to lookup)






PRIVACY SOLUTION:

  • Delete previously saved networks on your devices.
  • Login to your router as admin.
  • Set a new SSID on your router.
  • Save new SSID (common SSID helps it blend in for wigle searches better) and your wifi devices will no longer be vulnerable to tracking by SSID history probes (unless someone maps your new SSID using the wigle app).

TO USE:


Check the variable locations (depending on OS - tested on Mobian Phosh), run the install.sh to put everything where it needs to be (including desktop icon), then anytime you need to find out about strange devices not connected to wifi and their previous location history, press the mactrack "radar" icon and it starts up listening to these saved network probes.


I am going to add more options. I found testing results useful/interesting/handy to have on demand, at the touch of a finger.


I included an install.sh script to install it right to the desktop of Phosh. I illustrated the icon for itSmile


To use the SSID location search prompt option, you need to sign up for access to the wigle API  (sorry can't share my account :-P). If not, you can still listen to/watch wifi client -> saved SSID probes and manually search on their website.

Nothing fancy atm (I will add more controls over time). Hope it is found useful/interesting Wink

  HArdware issues while charging
Posted by: user18130814200115 - 02-19-2021, 04:52 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (2)

While charging my pinebook pro, two things happen.

First, a sort of static noise starts playing through the headphone jack. This is especially noticeable if I attach external speakers to the headphone jack. Funnily enough, this noise gets louder if the device is powered off.

Second, the trackpad stops working properly. It often detects two fingers instead of one and the movement is jittery and inaccurate.

I am using the official charger in the barrel port. Does anyone else have these issues? And (though I doubt it sincec this seems to be a hardware problem) is there a fix?

Question 1U Rackmount Case for ROCKPro64
Posted by: tuaris - 02-18-2021, 05:59 PM - Forum: RockPro64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (3)

I like the current Metal Desktop/NAS Casing that's available, but it would be nice to have a 1U rack mount variant of it. 
Does anyone know of an online retailer that would be willing to design custom casing? or is this something Pine64 themselves can do?


  Amazfish on Manjaro/KDE
Posted by: pagesix1536 - 02-18-2021, 03:08 PM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (3)

Just spent 2 hours trying to install Amazfish on Manjaro. This is not a trivial thing.  The amount of dependencies needed to get it to compile from a fresh image of the distro on the phone is enough to make you give up.  pacman is in no way intuitive at all compared to yum/dnf or apt making it harder to figure out what magic switches you need to pass to it to make it update or install dependencies.

I got it to finally install and it runs, but still haven't been able to figure out how to pair a Pinetime with it successfully.  I can pair the watch to the phone, but Amazfish still doesn't see it.  I'm tired of wrestling with this for now, and will try it later.

This won't get any adoption if compiling from source and troubleshooting our own errors during compilation is how to get apps installed.  It needs to be packaged in a way that it can easily be downloaded and installed (like a deb or rpm package) or contained completely in an runable format (like an appimage, flatpak, or snap).


Information OpenWrt image PineCube
Posted by: JuanEsf - 02-18-2021, 12:34 PM - Forum: Development Discussion on PineCube - Replies (14)

Hello everyone. this is the first openwrt image for pinecube totally to test i dont think it is stable. enjoy...

- kernel 5.10.16
- u-boot 2021.04-rc1
- 1GB partition

github link:
https://github.com/juanesf/openwrt

gdrive image link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ttO29qZ...sp=sharing

ps: do not activate wireguard in menuconfig, it has a conflict since since kernel 5.6 wireguard is integrated in kernel and gives problems with the package in the openwrt repository.


  Strange SD Card Problems
Posted by: anhilde - 02-18-2021, 06:42 AM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (7)

Hi,

I have Problems with SD card flashing that I cannot explain. Basically I have run Raspis for years, am comfortable with command line (Developer), have written lots of images to SD cards and mostly things worked as expected. Up to my pinephone. Basically I download images and write them to a 16GB card with dd like such:

Code:
/mnt/cloud/images# dd bs=128K if=Manjaro-ARM-phosh-pinephone-beta5.img of=/dev/sdd conv=fsync status=progress

On this one 16GiB card that I have lying around I can successfully do this with Manjaro Posh/KDE Images, Mobian and Arch for Arm. All work as expected. Now I have a bunch of 32GiB cards I'd like to use. But writing to those cards with the same dd command will result in boot failure. The LED on the pinephone turns red and that is iit. I have tried zeroing out the cards before write, bought new ones. None of the 32GiB cards work. I tried using different SD card readers etc. Nothing works. Except the trusty old 16Gib Sandisk Card. The 32Gib Cards are SanDisk and Transcend cards. If I flash for example Manjaro KDE, I get sensible values (to me) when checking the card with sfdisk like:

Code:
sfdisk -uS -d /dev/sdf
label: dos
label-id: 0x198aa440
device: /dev/sdf
unit: sectors

/dev/sdf1 : start=      62500, size=      437501, type=c
/dev/sdf2 : start=      500001, size=    9617119, type=83

The start sector of looks to be a bit far into the card, but it is the same as in the image:

Code:
fdisk -l Manjaro-ARM-plasma-mobile-pinephone-beta2.img
Disk Manjaro-ARM-plasma-mobile-pinephone-beta2.img: 4.8 GiB, 5174722560 bytes, 10106880 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0xdc868f53

Device                                        Boot  Start      End Sectors  Size Id Type
Manjaro-ARM-plasma-mobile-pinephone-beta2.img1      62500  500000  437501 213.6M  c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
Manjaro-ARM-plasma-mobile-pinephone-beta2.img2      500001 10106879 9606879  4.6G 83 Linux

Any help or pointer would be really appreciated as to what could be the reason for this. Next stop is getting a UART Adapter so I can see what the bootloader is doing I guess.

Best Regards,

anhilde

  Sylpheed, Nextcloud Screensize not for Mobile
Posted by: Franze_m - 02-18-2021, 02:38 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (6)

Hello,
i installed sylpheed and nextcloud from the software-menu, but the programs are not usable, because the screensize does not fit
the mobile screen. 
I hope that i am right here.
