Call for : Extended Frequency Support
by Steve L 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Atheros Chipset Radios are capable of operation between 2312-2732, 4920-6100 MHz. The purpose of this message is to hopefully draw a few talented hams out of the wood work that can make a programming contribution to an the existing Broadband Ham Network firmware project. You can look at how the ham radio frequency allocations overlap the Part 15 bands here: http://www.qsl.net/kb9mwr/projects/wireless/allocations.html The Part 15 overlap where all consumer devices operate is heavily crowded, and thusly the noise floor is high hampering long range links that we as hams would like to establish. There are a couple third party solutions to enable the extended frequency support to be able to shift operations into the ham only portions of the bands. Neither of them presently have native OLSR support in addition to the extended frequency support. It would be highly desirable to see our own ham firmware support the extended frequency support. HSMM-Mesh / Broadband Hamnet Firmware In the Fall of 2008, a group of amateurs from the Texas area announced development of their own custom firmware for the WRT-54G to enable HSMM-Mesh networking. This is the first ham specific firmware build. It is also one of the first firmware builds to support OLSR, an ad-hoc wireless mesh routing daemon. Initially this ham firmware build was limited to the Linksys WRT54 series of wireless routers. In February 2014 the development team announced support for Ubiquiti 2.4 GHz devices. In July 2014 support was extended to Ubiquiti 5 GHz devices. I should clarify that this firmware does not yet support non-part 15 channels, aka, extended channels / custom frequencies. Nor does it yet support half-rate (10 MHz wide), or quarter-rate (5 MHz wide) bandwidth channels to accompany use on ham only spectrum. If you are knowledgeable with the Linux Kernel programming please consider reaching out to the development team. http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/download/firmware/ A discussion on the Broadband Hamnet / HSMM-Mesh ham firmware about using channels outside of the Part 15 space: http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/hsmm-mesh-forums/view-postlist/forum-1113/t… If we can develop the firmware that enables ham channels, Heikki Hannikainen OH7LZB presented at the 2013 DCC a way to authenticate the person who might like to download it is a ham. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7anDmQQfyu8 Video presentation from the DCC http://authtest.aprs.fi - authentication demo site https://github.com/hessu/ham-cert-web-demo - Apache configuration and PHP scripts

Greetings; I have created a file at http://n1uro.ampr.org/amprdns.brk This file contains a ton of stray MX and CNAME records. If a coordinator wishes to sort through it and clean up invalid entries, it's there. -- 73 de Brian Rogers - N1URO email: <n1uro(a)n1uro.ampr.org> Web: http://www.n1uro.net/ Ampr1: http://n1uro.ampr.org/ Ampr2: http://nos.n1uro.ampr.org Linux Amateur Radio Services axMail-Fax & URONode AmprNet coordinator for: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

Greetings to everybody. Following Shellshock... There is another hole, called tmUnblock.cgi targetted on some Cisco Linksys routers: http://www.scip.ch/en/?vuldb.12362 More info on Internet, for instance: http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/68405/what-is-tmunblock-cgi-and… Even targeted at specific hardware, it is poking everywhere... Short extract from my apache2.log 50.193.84.18 - - [05/Oct/2014:14:03:33 +0200] "GET /tmUnblock.cgi HTTP/1.1" 400 518 "-" "-" Best regards. Tom - sp2lob

Hello Brian(N1URO) et al. My list of "abusing" subnets and single IP's contains 56 lines and still grows almost every day. All of them blocked continuously by iptables. For securing all amprnet interfaces I have one PERFECT cure: -A INPUT ! -s 44.0.0.0/8 -i tunl0 -j DROP -A INPUT ! -s 44.0.0.0/8 -i tun0 -j DROP -A INPUT ! -s 44.0.0.0/8 -i tun1 -j DROP -A INPUT ! -s 44.0.0.0/8 -i tun2 -j DROP -A INPUT ! -s 44.0.0.0/8 -i sl0 -j DROP -A INPUT ! -s 44.0.0.0/8 -i sl1 -j DROP -A INPUT ! -s 44.0.0.0/8 -i sl2 -j DROP Really deadly weapon, Hi! Nothing, literally nothing, what isn't originated from 44 network is explicitly DROPped. JNOS-2.0j4, TNOS-2.40, OpenVPN(44net), TNOS-3.01a1 and two (X)net's are as safe as never before. Sending email to the "abuse" mailbox is nice and pollite way but do not change situation right away. Just my personal point of view... One day somebody said: if I run taxi business, say in Texas, I do not want customer from LaLaLand poking around! Best regards. Tom - sp2lob Send from Sony Xperia Z1 http://www.aqua-mail.com

Tom, I am also using Fail2BAN. I created my own jail for JNOS and it works great. That is also why I needed to change the JNOS log file name to something static. That way I could avoid having to reload/restart Fail2Ban every morning at midnight to look for a new log. If you need the Jail regex I created for JNOS (assuming you're using JNOS), contact me off-list (kg6baj(a)n1oes.org) and I can email it to you.

Greetings to everybody. ****I want direct your attention to two networks that lately I'm seeing in my Apache2 log files: 5.141.0.0/16 213.33.130.0/24 Log entries are at least suspicious. I keep sharp lookout. Best regards. Tom - sp2lob

HamQTH's API is pretty easy to use and provides a decent international callbook. http://hamqth.com/developers.php I use it for validation and profile at http://hf.dstar-relay.net and http://qso.freedv.org If someone wanted to write a simple callsign lookup, it wouldn't be a big deal. ------------------------------ John D.

Global Callbook Server

Greetings; Is anyone running a global buckmaster or similar server on 44/8 that I can query from xNOS? It would be greatly appreciated.

To whom it may concern. Quote: Niall Parker 2013/12/14 at 06:28 I suspect the intent (of Heikki et al) was to keep that password from being published… I suspect it would have helped me though if I hadn’t been paranoid to read all the docs anyway. Unqote Just wonder, whether this security measure is still in force and should be obeyed without any exempts? Best regards. Tom - sp2lob Sent from Sony Xperia Z1 http://www.aqua-mail.com
