Verizon Droid 2.2 Update Cannot Stop Me Tue, 24 Aug 2010 10:49:38 -0400

So Verizon has recently pushed the Android 2.2 OS to the original Droid phones. In this update Verizon has crippled the new updates, mobile hotspot was one of the hottest features to be released in Froyo (2.2). However Verizon has allowed USB tethering for the data plan, however this does require an extra charge (of course).

However they have missed one key piece, DNS queries can still be routed through the connection. Once I have a processes hammered out I might post a how to on setting up a TCP over DNS instruction so that you can use your handicapped Froyo to route all of your internet use over DNS.

How Cool huh?

Replaying PCAP Dumps Thu, 11 Mar 2010 08:35:40 -0500

Step 1) Collect data.

tcpdump -w logPackets.pcap tcp port 53

Step 2) Statup virtual machine

Step 3) Copy logPackets.pcap to VM.

Step 4) tcpreplay-edit -i eth0 --enet-dmac <your mac address on physical node> logPackets.pcap

If your using an older copy tcpreplay or do not have tcpreplay-edit installed, then you can either use tcpprep to write a cache file to separate the client and server instances ... this will also be able to modify the destination mac address. Alternatively you can use macchanger and just change the mac address on your physical ethernet device. Either way works.

Erlang Trim Thu, 11 Feb 2010 13:30:13 -0500

This is a nice piece of code that I stumbled upon a few months ago while wanting to string the white space off the end of a string. Thanks go to Steve Davis for his contribution.


-module(trim).
-author('Steve Davis < steven · charles · davis ? gmail · com >').
-export([trim/1]).

trim(Bin) when is_binary(Bin) ->
    list_to_binary(trim(binary_to_list(Bin)));
trim(String) when is_list(String) ->
    String2 = lists:dropwhile(fun is_whitespace/1, String),
    lists:reverse(lists:dropwhile(fun is_whitespace/1, lists:reverse(String2))).

is_whitespace($\s) -> true;
is_whitespace($\t) -> true;
is_whitespace($\n) -> true;
is_whitespace($\r) -> true;
is_whitespace(_Else) -> false.

Current Projects Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:16:44 -0500

Currently am working on a number of DNS specific applications, hopefully a couple I can release.

The first being an IO event handler in C, sorta like libevent but without the threading issues, also can discover interfaces for udp handling. Will be helpful for a league of users.

The second project is the next generation of an Android application for testing DNS resolution against a configurable list of resolvers. Will later evolve into being able to run predefined lists of queries and checking responses, sorta like a typical monitoring setup (read nagios) but not as automated.
