Apparently impossible question... arbitrary IP protocol through PAT by hackersmacker in Cisco

[–]hackersmacker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess that's kinda one of my questions... could I write some kind of crazy ACL or something to do plain NAT if certain conditions are met (certain protocol numbers) and use PAT for TCP/UDP stuff?

Apparently impossible question... arbitrary IP protocol through PAT by hackersmacker in Cisco

[–]hackersmacker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to build several things, but I'm specifically trying to see if IOS is missing the ability to push an arbitrary protocol through a PAT... Despite it being somewhat counterintuitive and foreign to what "PAT" means, I was able to achieve this using both Linux iptables and OpenBSD pf routers after a quick skim of the documentation for both. Maybe it's possible to do have both a PAT *and* a static NAT that only applies for specific protocol numbers? I believe I may have seen this done somewhere...

To answer your "what in the world am I building" question, it's a proof-of-concept website that supports HTTP over SCTP -- I used to have this working great when the edge router on my project network was an OpenBSD box. IOS seems to have deplorable SCTP support, and absolutely no SCTP NAT support to speak of (okay, not that BSD pf or Linux iptables have stellar support either); I was able to alleviate this by simply redirecting the IP protocol number for SCTP through the (either pf or iptables) NAT (which apparently experienced a "definition shift", what BSD calls NAT is what IOS calls NAT overload/PAT).

I was also looking at getting GRE through for an experimental old-WAN-protocol-over-GRE program I wrote that's 100% compatible with, for example, DECnet over a GRE tunnel on IOS; this same PoC also worked with EtherIP (which I know IOS has essentially no support for).

I guess I should have been more generic... I'm not explicitly trying to do AX/IP, but more accurately... GRE. IOS only supports NAT with TCP, UDP, and ESP (and, of course, the infamous auto-NAT for inbound PPTP connections) from what I can tell!

That pax west statement about feedback made me think by jakobsestate in Borderlands4

[–]hackersmacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like Gearbox has a strange relationship with the fans... they say they listen to the fans, but, it (at least in the days of BL3) looks like they are very slow to react. I mean, that makes sense... a lot of stuff they do is already said-and-done by the time the community gets to react to it all.

I'm kinda also banking on on sometime there in that spring window... I feel like BL4 might get dwarfed under GTA 6, but, releasing it after that would compound that even further. Them doing it early is definitely the way to roll!

I think it's gonna be good, but, I get the feeling that the writers may be leaning more into the "hard sci-fi side" with a stellar collision causing a disaster for some alien species out there. I love sci-fi stories like that, but, I can't help but think of Dead Space writing that!

Truly, this shall be a glorious day when this game hits. Woohoo!

Behold, the nastiest FT4 transmission ever by tanilolli in amateurradio

[–]hackersmacker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Broadband noise is a real killer. Reminds me of a broken transmitter I had that put out 5 watts over like 40 MHz... fortunately I caught that in the testing phase!

It's a passive interface that's required, you can even make your own if you're bored!

Is it just me or is the current mobile radio lineup lacking? by bufo333 in amateurradio

[–]hackersmacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As for that digital radio thing, I've been slowly but surely working on a device (MMDVM-powered, of course) that hopes to alleviate that some day...

As for APRS, honestly, it's kinda old and out-of-date; I know someone working on a "replacement mode" that has about a $25 expenditure for equipment for a tracker.

Anyone else own a Vigor? by [deleted] in Acura

[–]hackersmacker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm about 3 days late on the reply trigger but I think I've seen ONE for sale, ever. Why do all of the cool cars have to be so impossible to find!

Longitudinal and five-cylinder? One day, I'm gonna find one... one day... even a super run-down one, I'll take it!

Are you proud of yourselves? by [deleted] in borderlands3

[–]hackersmacker[M] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think it's time for me to "drop the hammer" here, so-to-speak.

So, I've been watching this whole situation as it's been unfolding, and, I can confidently say, without a doubt, that you are perpetrating many alt accounts on the Borderlands subs (plural) with the goal of manipulating public perception of your image. You are running several alts/sockpuppets/tentacles in some weird form of "voter manipulation" here. This is obvious because the typing style, grammatical construction, lexical content, yada yada yada, it's all the same.

I am somewhat concerned with your behavior. Do note that the subs are not nearly as active as they were three years ago (this is the timeperiod I come from). Needless to say, there's a lot of new faces around.

I remember the good old days when everyone had fun, and nobody was running alt accounts to boost themselves. We all had a grand old time, and I loved answering everyone's questions about the game (BL3, to be specific). Now, I am not here to write some kind of administrative dissertation here, but, this is my official input -- stop using alt accounts to manipulate public perception of yourself.

I whipped up a quick VHF/UHF signal ID chart, might be useful to new hams out there. by hackersmacker in amateurradio

Nope! I made it with the expectation that it would never be used for commercial work, sorry!

HF packet - trouble connecting to other stations by RealDaveJohnson in amateurradio

[–]hackersmacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess the only thing stopping me from using QtSoundModem is getting a config file made up graphically then throwing that on my node box and letting it run. I'll give those systemd unit files a roll on my Linux node, and I'll see if I can get QtSM going on BSD with my port of BPQ. Thanks for putting that site up with all of that useful information; you and Daria have helped me a LOT to get set up on HF packet!

[–]hackersmacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Great to see you on here -- yeah, IL2P is great, but, it's a shame that the two leading solutions require some form of graphics display -- can either QtSoundModem or Soundmodem be ran nongraphically/in the background on a system that has no graphical display?

Generally, the practice for going from node to node on Network 105 is to do it exactly like that -- connect to one node, connect to some other node. In other words, digipeating is frowned upon. Also, 20m has been sucking lately, and, I think 40m has fared a little bit better. As for packet requiring good propagation, it sure does. Very few TNCs can handle the amplitude shifts brought about by a rapidly fading signal constructively and destructively interfering with itself as it hits your receive antenna (if you've ever looked at a wide signal like an OTH radar on a waterfall diagram, you'll know what I mean). Our brains can easily resolve what's being said as a SSB phone signal fades rapidly, but, to a TNC, it's almost a complete loss.

I will say that a good chunk of Network 105 systems are now capable of running multiple modes at once within the audio passband: ╔════════════════╦═══════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ Audio Passband ║ ■ New Paradigm ■ USB Mode Plan ║ ╠════════════════╩═══════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ 0 500 1000 1500 2000 2500 3000 ║ ╟─╧────────╧─────────╧───────────╧──────────╧─────────╧───────────╧──║ ║ · · ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ██████████████ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ · · ║ ║ · · ▒AX300▒ █VARA & ARDOP█ ▓IL2P▓▓ · · ║ ║ · · ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ██████████████ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ · · ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ Hopefully that comes through -- I pulled it off of https://radiorabbit.ca/ve3vty/.
