SD Card Formatter, That's All

 Simple, need that SD card formatted- Don't require anything fancy... you'd setup that SD card to boot a R Pi project... you've since discoverred how to boot offa  SSD instead- oh those lovely few seconds of boot saved- hey they add up! Alright this was supposed to be a post to just share a quick link... to a basic SD card formatter... So, here we are... Format away. https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/sd-memory-card-formatter-for-windows-download/ How much more legit can you get than a SD card formatter from... SDCard.org. Any SD card experiences to share? Would love to here 'em. Leave a comment. Oh, if for whatever reason that SD card is toast...did you try to use it on a Pwnogatchi project? Some reason, certain versions of the firmware, I'm gonna say all the new versions. "Kill": SD cards... afterwards, can't use them for anything... can't re format, can't erase... un-usable. Not really. If you truly require use of that SD card, get y...

Getting Down with Wireshark as a Network Monitoring Tool

Wireshark-  When you need to get down and dirty with individual packets, it's the undisputed champ. But what happens when you're trying to figure out what's actually going down on a high-speed, chaotic network? Not just  the wireless activity- getting more involved; seeing what is actually going on, what users on the network are active in/ their activities- what can we see? Scrolling through a billion packets to find out who's hogging all the bandwidth with Netflix isn't just a headache; it's practically impossible. Wireshark is a microscope, but sometimes you need a satellite view. You want to know the big picture: what apps are running, who the top talkers are, and if something sketchy is happening, without spending hours creating ridiculously complex filters. The Secret Sauce: ntop's nDPI Enter the total game-changer: nDPI (ntop Deep Packet Inspection) . Think of standard Wireshark as a mailman who only reads the outside of the envelope (the packet heade...

"No Tech"

 Sometimes we gotta get back to a way that technology isn't the answer- where our AI chat buddies can't be there to guide us or give us a much too overly complicated answer/ solution to some "problems". Which... not necessary- and with some sharp thinking, saves the day... and in 1 example possibly, your life. Fobbed    You are stepping out of your car... just before, your phone rang and you took a call. Placing your keys/ car fob in your lap. Distracted by this call, you proceeded to exit- only to have said keys/ fob drop onto the seat. You noticed...but not until the last moment and the car locks- normally it shouldn't, this time it did. Smashy Smashy Many would look around and reach for some object nearby. Maybe a stone? A brick? Stick? Pipe? Something with 'oomph'- maybe smashing he window is the answer... you are in a rush to get some;lace important after all. This is the answer if you are willing to unnecessarily dole out $1, 2, even 3 or more K... h...

Badge, a Data Project, and the Best ADS-B Antenna for Aviation Enthusiasts

High-Performance Flight Tracking Our skies and that which occupies them are open for us to explore- just need a touch of knowhow plus a sprinkle of technology- now with data aggregators such as Flight Aware, ADSBLOL, AirFrames plus many more.... you don't even need the tech part- I guess a means to the internet is still required. Resources like those open up the skies and give us much detail of what is above our heads... is it really a gov'nt spy plane? Who's layin' down all those chem trails?  Not that such topics aren't but on a more serious note... these resources give us the details of the aviation above us... even give us maps of the flights. Naturally something that sparks my curiosity. My curiosity in the world of high-performance flight tracking lead me in an unlikely place:  I am attracted to the subject- currently the confrence Def Con is on.... #badgelife... lead me to one of the  hacker conference badge makers....
