  • openwrt on WRT54GS

    I found some time today to test the openwrt (again) in my WRT54GS. I desided to drop the sveasoft firmware. The main reason is that every change in the firewall or QoS requires a reboot of the WRT54GS. Building the openwrt firmware and all the packages talk about 2 hours. I provide all the packages…

  • People looking for awstats

    I see a lot of people trying to find out if i have awstats installed on my web site in order to use the configdir exploit.

  • Debrick a WRT54G for the second time

    I week ago i debrick a WRT54G ([url]https://blog.billy.gr/archives/2005/02/12/debrick-a-wrt54g/[/url]) unfortunately it died again. This time it wasn’t so easy. The main problem was that the CFE.BIN was corrupted = NO TFTP to put a new firmware. The solution was to find a CFE.BIN and write it again on the WRT. After finally founding an image, i…

  • DSPAM 3.4.RC1

    I use dspam for its speed and accuracy, for it’s web interface and statistics. I miss one feature. Retrain via History. Why ? Cause i don’t like to bounce messages. Cause you cannot convince your users to do it, and do it properly, cause i use the signatureLocation=headers, and the only MUA that works is…

  • software suspend finally

    After many, many reboots and kernel recompiles i can hibernate 🙂 It appears that it is an ACPI problem, but if a use a hdparm like this for my disk [b]hdparm -d 1 -A 1 -m 16 -u 1 -a 64 /dev/hda[/b] IT WORKS. Probably that i can read from the disk fast before an…

  • SHA-1 Broken ?

    Slashdot has a REALLY interesting article about SHA-1. It appears that SHA-1 is broken as Bruce Schneier says in his weblog [url]http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/02/sha1_broken.html[/url] I work in the PKI market for about 5 years. As you can understand if SHA-1 is broken means a lot to me, you and the world.

  • wordpress as a cms

    In the 1.5 version of wordpress we have a really nice feature: “static pages” Now i am thinking to use wordpress as a cms. One of my problems with my site ([url]www.billy.gr[/url]) is that i don’t have a CMS in order to change content as often as i want. I must create a style in…

  • Debrick a WRT54G

    I friend came a couple of hours ago with a bricked WRT54G. It isn’t so bad as it sounds. I was able to recover it in less that 15 minutes. There is a nice howto in the openwrt site ([url]http://www.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Troubleshooting[/url]), look at the JTAG-adaptor Method. I build the adapter with one minor change. The ground…
