Ubuntu: Vmware Server On Hardy Heron

I've been looking for vmware on the repository for the whole day but could find it. There are still no vmware on hardy repo for sure. It's still not supported on Hardy. So here is a few tips on how to setup VMWARE:

• Download the source from http://www.vmware.com/download/server/
• Download the patch from Patch
• Now we could start installing the VMware on our new Hardy Heron.
• 1st Step: Extract the .tar file and go to the directory.

tar xvf VMware-server-1.0.4-56528.tar.gz
cd [Directory created when extract]

• 2nd Step: Run the installation.

sudo ./vmware-install.pl

• You will recieve an error like this. But that's normal.

include/asm/bitops_32.h:9:2: error: #error only can be included directly
make[2]: *** [/tmp/vmware-config2/vmmon-only/common/cpuid.o]
make[1]: *** [_module_/tmp/vmware-config2/vmmon-only] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory \`/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-4-generic\’
make: *** [vmmon.ko] Error 2
make: Leaving directory \`/tmp/vmware-config2/vmmon-only\’
Unable to build the vmmon module.

• Then here come the patch to save your day.
• 3rd Step: Extract the patch and go to the directory.

tar xvf vmware-any-any-update115.tar
cd [directory created when extracting the patch]

• 4th Step: Run the runme.pl script and this will continue the installation and fix the previous problem.

sudo ./runme.pl

• Final Step: Now, we need to copy some files so that the vmware will run smooth without any problem.

sudo cp /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/
sudo cp /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/

And now we have just finish installing our VMware Server edition on our brand new Ubuntu Hardy Heron. I hope this tutorial can help you to solve the problem.

How to setup Edimax 7318USg

After do some research and lurking on every forum on the net, finally I come to one page which is I think the most suitable answer for those who have Edimax 7318USg card to make it able to do injection using "aireplay-ng".

Here is the solution:

• first install a new beta version of aircrack-ng from this site. [ Aircrack 1.0 beta 2 ]
• I assume you know how to compile the aircrack-ng from source since you are attempting to do the crack, if not then just delete the aircrack-ng source and go to google to read more on linux basic skills ~:P
• Then remove the current rt2500 or rt73 driver on your machine.
• Then install the adequate driver. [ rt73 adequate driver ]
  
• And this time i assume you do know how to install a driver. (extract, make, make install, modprobe)
  
• put the card in monitor mode by using "airmon-ng start [interface]"
• and play the aircracks

Suppose you are good to go with some packets capturing and injection. But if somehow you lost and cant figure out on how to remove the current driver, here is the way to cleanly remove old driver(cause sometime, default driver do interfere with the driver you install to inject):

• airdriver-ng remove 25
• airdriver-ng remove 31
• this will remove the current rt2500 and rt73 driver from your system.

So I hope this will make your card fully compatible with injection procedure. But there is some note to take.

Note:

• "aireplay-ng -1" wont work before you do "aireplay-ng -9"
• run aireplay-ng -9 -a [BSSID] -B rausb0 to get the valid rate for rausb0. When get the rate set it to your rausb0 by using "iwconfig rausb0 rate yMB" where 'y' is the rate receive earlier on aireplay.

This tutorial is especially dedicated to one of friends 'srand' on irc. Please give the result if you tried this method on your rausb0 card. I would like to know the result if any error occurs.

Patch for iwl4965 testing version

Hello, for those who like to test the aircrack, kismet or any other wifi cracking application need to turun card into monitor mode. As far as I know, iwl4965 is a new chip set from intel, and no patch yet on the net to enable iwl4965 to do packets injection.

So I google aroudn and found out, that there is someone able to do injections using iwl4965 wifi cards and luckily he share the patch for others to give it a try. For those who is interested on playing with Wireless AP, then you can download the patch for iwl4965 from patch iwl4965.

To apply the patch, just do "patch -i [patch filename]" and patch it on kernel source. After that, you need to recompile the modules and copy the new module into your current module directory in order the new patch to work.

more over, if you need some information on the patch, please read the forum discussion about iwl4965 injection here.
