Ubuntu Server on Your Pi. Fast.

Got a Raspberry Pi? Let's turn it into a legit server. No crap.

Ubuntu Server on Your Pi-

What's Required:

  • Raspberry Pi (2, 3, or 4 or 5 or Zero w 2....)

  • microSD card (8GB+)

  • Power cable (minimum 5v 3a, preferably 4/5a- get an official Pi power supply)

  • Your computer

The Steps to Get it Going:

Step 1: Flash It

  1. Grab the Raspberry Pi Imager (it's official, Google it).

  2. Pop your SD card into your computer.

  3. In the Imager:

    • OS: Other > Ubuntu > Ubuntu Server (pick the 64-bit LTS).

    • Storage: Your SD card.

    • CRITICAL: Click the gear icon. Set a hostname/password, enable SSH, and add your Wi-Fi details. This is the whole "headless" hack.

  4. Click Write.

Step 2: Boot It

  1. Put that freshly flashed SD card into your Pi.

  2. Plug in the power.

  3. Walk away. Seriously. Give it 2-3 minutes. It's using cloud-init to set itself up. Don't touch it.

Step 3: Log In (from your main PC)

  1. Find your Pi's IP address (check your router's device list).

  2. Open your terminal and type:

    Bash
    ssh your-username@its-ip-address

  3. Type your password.

Boom. You're in. You now have an Ubuntu Server. Go wild.

Windows Doesn't recognize Your HackRF device? Wrong Drivers? Try ...

 Mostly for me to remember, but Windows at times has a lapse in judgement with certain devices, DIY gadgets, peripherals that you maybe trying to connect to- for me, it was my HackRF( I have since stumbled upon a better way to start for the HackF if having driver woes- which I will cover in another post- but keep reading, since this is still good knowledge to know regarding driver issues )- no matter what, my PC could not recognize the HackRF/ or would recognize it, but as a keyboard. I required Windows to apply the correct drivers to the device so that it could be recognized for what it is... a...SDR. A HackRF.  Guessing What's Right... Making Assumptions. Getting it Wrong. So, really what we see here is that when connecting that never connected before thing into your PC, Windows is making an assumption on what that thing is, and then applying the best driver that it thinks suites that thing... From experience, and a general rule of life... "assumptions" aren't the b...

Maximising RF Range as per Texas Instruments

Making electronics such as semiconductors and pioneering advances in integrated circuits. Consistently Texas Instruments brings us innovation - in their "about me" they state this mentioning advancements "to make technology smaller, more efficient, more reliable and more affordable" – "Engineering Progress.", that is what Texas Instruments are about. Wireless/ RF Texas Instruments  or TI with their many product offerings and solutions, many of which fall into the category of being wireless- that is what our modern world is now- involving many technologies, but today we are talking more in the area of RF or Radio Frequencies. Though these technologies have advanced, and our knowledge has grown in said technologies- still, limitations exist. One of them, when talking about RF is the range that your solution needs, and realistically, the actual range possible with the technologies being utilized.  How Far Can My RF Signal Transmit? Receive? Sorry to burst you...

Miggitty Miggitty Mac Address

 Helping your router identify your WiFi adapter on your network. A Mac address is unique. Kinda like your device's fingerprint. It's made of 6 sets of 2 characters and separated by semiolonsì. A Mac address is comprised of letters and numbers. As an example; something like this ... 01:aa:gg:88:bb:ccp What Makes a Mac Address First six characters are classified as organizational unique identifier.. or OUI...  popular lookup tools/ databases are IEEE ieee Public Mac Address Look Up Tool... Online Search Tool by Wire Shark, to name a couple- there are many more...some more upto date than the other. If you can't locate the OUI within one, give the others a try.  A Tool such as the WiFi Pineapple can link directly to OUI resources giving us an efficient research tool for network analysis. OUI's For Research Utilising such data as an OUI can be of tremendous importance- providing shortcuts, Where once blind, guessing... now, knowing a manufacturer, can point us to default log...
