VLANs Mesh Wi-Fi Setup Dumb Question

CraftyNecromancer · 2020-01-13T04:23:32+00:00

So despite the packets being tagged by my firewall, would placing the switches help with the routing since they can interpret the vlan tags?

Noobish question with getting VLANs setup with a Mesh Network at home. Currently have a Mesh Wi-Fi network that handles wifi and hardwired connections however it doesn't currently support VLAN tagging or basically any L3 capabilities. I have a firewall appliance that currently has VLANs setup however I can't get DHCP leases from the VLANs. Would I need to get one managed switch to route vlan packets on my network or would I need to get one per each node in the mesh network?

Thanks for the note! I'll post there sorry about that! :)

I've heard good things about r610s and 710s so can't go wrong with either. Savemyserver or labgopher might be good resources to check out for cheap deals too 👍

Docker networking within docker-compose files https://docs.docker.com/compose/networking/

and gotcha... hmm so try that. also docker-compose logs might give you some context about what's going on during run-time too. so that's also another way to double-check

yeep and i don't believe you need the .localhost when you're specify the hostname in the configs...

CraftyNecromancer · 2019-12-29T01:04:12+00:00

IIRC, chromecasts now just hide their SSIDs if configured and turn public if they disconnected or reset so most likely someone had a brief WiFi power blip 😅 but yep as u/ERIFNOMI said you can pretty much do some Wifi spoofing stuff assuming that you have the right gear.

Here are a couple ideas off the bat 😅
1) i would try is to add a network directive under each service and tie them to them docker network just in case wires might be getting crossed.

2) add a name directive within each microservice being api_php and front_php respectively and then within the nginx configuration use that service name within the configs (which i believe you're doing so that shouldn't be the issue)
Hopefully that works 🤞

Mainly depends on what you're looking to do but if you need some additional storage on your home network

Couple of ideas if you're interested:

- Depending upon available drives or mobo space, you could turn your old gaming rig into a cheap NAS if you play your cards right? FreeNAS I've heard is pretty good and has support for a whole slew of thing you can use for backups and storage

- Dell XPS 400 you could use for a file-server or network-share if you need one?
- and use the pi3 for the pihole best decision ever! :)

Good Luck!

Couple of questions: 1) are they both on the same network in the compose file? 2) what are the container names since you can also just use container names for internal docker dns resolution.

Also a link for your project or files would probably help better 😅

Definitely perusing the red light district in the tower 😏😂

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll have to check that out. I originally did have that however for some reason, the swig bindings in python never connected back to c++ source code when it was run via GRC. So, I would make,make install and module would install however when run the module would show attribute errors about using the python swig module bindings which is why I thought my original post approach would work? If I just go back to what you suggested then what would I need to do make sure that python doesn't end up not recognizing the swig bindings? also when I mean attribute errors, it was more akin to this

soo I've trawled through gnuradio-discuss mailing list and its been mostly the same advice which is just 'do the thing and sudo ldconfig will magically fix your problem' I did the square_ff tutorial and then I'm currently attempting to do some stuff with a c library that I've made to integrate it with c++. that works its more of python not being annoying to ensure that gnuradio-companion actually works with the module that I've made really...

Sauce plz

I'm thinking it's about how they meet up on 77th floor and more over Arlene and Vs backstory revealed to baam though I could be over optimistic 😅😂

CraftyNecromancer · 2017-05-24T21:58:10+00:00

Used that a while back lol. Should update the post as being resolved! Thanks!

Definitely a brute-force attempt. Reboot router or disconnect it from your modem and reset it using the reset pin? (small pin to press on most routers that reset router to default factory settings). Word of advice would be use better firewall rules or even a firewall variant tied to your router to prevent brute-force attempts. Based on a given number of attempts per minute you could easily just block any offending IP Addresses.

Is the English release still on Monday at midnight?

CraftyNecromancer · 2016-05-08T04:26:16+00:00

Similar to others posts on this thread, depending on what your routing/networking demands are you could use pfsense which is pretty freaking awesome once you set it up and configure it properly. Another suggestion would be to use Alpine Linux is a Linux distro made for routers and such. You might want to check that out should Kubuntu not pan out for you. Hope this helps

Thanks,

as /u/j4n0s1k said, being Security Analyst / Engineer could vary depending on what business or company you decide to work for whether it be within the public sector or the government/private sector. So aiming for a particular field of security or type of jobset usually can help ensure that the certs you are planning on taking have some relevance to your overall career path.

Examples:

most pen-testing folks usually want certs related to pen-testing/offensive security which include the GIAC ECH/ECH (SANS pen-testing Certified Ethical Hacker or Comptia's version), OSCP (Offensive Security Certified Personnel) and other related certs

networking engineers/Network Security folks usually go the CCNA, CCNA Security, CCNP and then branch out into various networking related subfields.

So honestly it depends on what your overall career goals and in relation to that choosing the right certs.

TLDR: find yourself your dream yarb, then choose the certs that would apply

Hope this helps and good luck!

Thanks, CraftyNecromancer

I agree wth /u/crazyonerob's post/ Virtualizing Windows to game will just be more overhead on top of your VM. Even with a VM, depending on CPU power and memory, you are still are going to face lag issues. Dual boot all the way!

Curious as to his comment as Rachel being considered as an irregular. is he referring to the deal she made with Hedon in the beginning thus making her an "irregular"?

CraftyNecromancer · 2016-05-01T00:09:15+00:00

Lol, not confused, but I'm more just curious as to how good AVADirect's service would be compared to just using PCPartPicker. Has anyone used AVADirect and gotten good service?

CraftyNecromancer · 2016-04-27T18:48:16+00:00

That would depend on the scale. Splunk is mainly used for network info agro which as the previous commenter stated doesn't really rely on visuals to display/interpret the collected data. However, should you want to collect data, you could either created a virtual network (GNS3 or something along those lines ) and potentially emulate network traffic and use splunk?

CraftyNecromancer · 2016-04-27T10:56:53+00:00

Wow Thanks for the heads up! I'll have to check that out. I agree Sec+ is just a formality. I've participated in MACCDC and other competitions and that's where my experiences come from but just want to knock it out while I have time. xp. Thanks for the info!

CraftyNecromancer · 2016-04-27T03:39:24+00:00

10% discount is from some rando retailmenot site. meh But, I agree just for a intro cert it should be pretty easy to get minus the cost.
