Re: NeoPwn v2 = BackTrack Mobile!
First of all, appnss, thank you for posting some sense in this thread. I've really appreciated your past couple of comments.

Some are more involved than others, but the truth is, I think a lot of us have a lot more inside knowledge of how projects are managed, executed and written than you do, or even neopwn for that matter (from what we can tell). Quote:

The last reason, I'm interested in BT Mobile, is that I am by trade a security expert. I have worked for many banks, governments, major telco companies, and I have a wealth of experience when it comes to encryption and penetration testing (check my Maemo or LinkedIn profile for further details). And the last reason (bis), is that having fun with Bob from Widgets International at the airport is just the cheapest way to have fun, while waiting for delayed trains and flights these days. |

It was not announced to be publicly beta released "shortly after" BH/DC (which could perfectly mean years after...) but shortly *BEFORE* BH/DC... and with big/bold remarks on the packet injection feature among many other great announcements posted on the site. And that was never even remotely questioned before the last possible day arrived. The precise big words and announcements cached on google in the link crashanddie has posted, and many of us clearly remembered is the main reason for all the complaints. Nothing else. Even if we assume that sometimes **** happens, does it seems now more logical and predictible the negative reaction? Anyway, let's just hope that something positive can come out of this in the future... |

"Developed exclusively for Neopwn". What a sad, sad day this has become. Sorry excuse for open source. So much for the "100% free download" we were promised, eh? |

Otherwise as someone stated already that's just vaporware. A good idea that took nowhere. Sad, but true. |
Re: NeoPwn v2 = BackTrack Mobile!
Maybe the maker of the packet injection could be persuaded to part with the code for a little fee, as noepwn dosnt seems to be going anywere with all this gioing on.
Just remeber every1 has a price |
Re: NeoPwn v2 = BackTrack Mobile!
maybe the dev isnt clear enough because he doesnt know what he wants
|
Re: NeoPwn v2 = BackTrack Mobile!
developed exclusively for NeoPwn?
IANAL but tell me, was here some line mentioning GPL somewhere in the headers of the code this exclusive work for NeoPwn was based on? Or do you actually claim you've written a new driver from scratch? [confused] jOERG |
Re: NeoPwn v2 = BackTrack Mobile!
Then again, even with the GPL infringement, as long as there is no distribution of the binary, they're not forced to release the modifications.

Re: NeoPwn v2 = BackTrack Mobile!
Forgive my ignorance here in all of this
But is it not possible for anyone to make an N900 interface and get Backtrack Mobile up and running (barring the packet injection side of things) Backtrack has been available for quite a long time So is there anything stopping someone else doing what Neo has been trying to do, or has he been doing something so unique that no one else will be able to do if Neo decides to completly abandon the project or take a lot longer than orginally stated (end of July) |
Re: NeoPwn v2 = BackTrack Mobile!
[QUOTE=CrashandDie;768902]Maybe you can assure us that it works, but then again, we only have your word for it. And in these troubled times, and taken into account the fact you have no reputation to speak of, your word is moot.
/QUOTE] Even as much as I share with you the same feelings of dissapoinment about all this matter, I have to disagree with that comment... if lxp doesn't have a reputation in this precise subject who has? It was after reading his blog and watching the progress made with monitor mode and after that with channel switching when I made the decision to buy an N900. And it is his blog that I have been checking every now and then hoping for any news about packet injection. It's not lxp who made any promise/announcements about packet injection. For me, it is enough assurance that it has been achieved. Of course I would love to see it myself and that everyone can benefit from the achievement... but now I am pretty confident that it is just a matter of (not much) time and I can wait. |

I can understand why you would not want to release it early as the value of the Neopwn project is linked directly to this driver, because that is the nut which has not been cracked by anyone else yet. I hope Neopwn gets his stuff together and the project moves on soon, I'll be sure to chuck a few dollars his way too :) |

1- It is *A LOT OF WORK* to port all the bunch of apps included in BT... Not to mention all the testing necessary after porting. Some are pretty much straight forward, in fact many haven't been (publicly) ported for the only reason that noone has even tried to. Others will need just a little work, and also optifiying unless they are meant to be run inside a chroot'ed environment. In fact, for this project, a chroot, better if inside a truecrypt volume would be the wiser approach to lesser cross contamination with the underlaying os (almost a requirement for forensics work). Probably even better a readonly image for integrity +UnionFS+ rw truecrypt volume. If it is a debian chroot, also the porting of apps will be *MUCH* LESS. And finally some other apps will be a PITA to port if not require a full redesign. No matter how good NeoPwn is, or how many time he is willing to spend in that: This is not a single man task. BT wasn't a single man task and needed many user support and years to reach current state even if it was more a job of integration as porting was unneeded. The only advantage here is that the design, list of tools, etc is mostly done in BT, and that multiple hardware support is unnecesary. If NeoPwn has already spent some good time in doing this task, that would be the first, well deserved, "unique" advantage he has. 2- Main GUI/Lancher/Integration is where the real "art" is. This may be a one single person task, and in fact it is preferrable for consistency (of course feedback + some help is assumed to be needed). This is also the part that could be perfectly made commercial or include premium paid features, or whatever. It is the "heart" of the whole project or the most "unique" component if you prefer. 3- The kernel module or kernel with patched wifi driver capable of packet injection: While unrelated to the vast majority of BT tools it is usually considered one of the most wanted features. At this time, its also a unique advantage of NeoPwn as the driver isn't available for N900 yet. Considering lxp was the only one KNOWN to be working on it, it can be a "unique" advantage for a while. NeoPwn is perfectly right in using that advantage at least until the initial launch, even more if he has paid or offered any compensation for that job to be done. But it is only a temporary advantage for several reasons: 1- Probably the intention is already to make it public when it is considered to be ready for public release. In fact, lxp has said something about that... but lets not take anything for granted. 2- Once it is feasible, it is just a matter of time that anyone else will develop another one. 3- Unless the driver is not based on already gpl'ed sources any kind of public redistribution should include or have its sources available. 4- Even if proprietary and in binary form, and whatever the protection used (if any) it will be eventually circumvented. <- Being ilegal doesn't mean it wouldn't happen. 5- If the full project as a whole doesn't prove good in itself, the driver won't change that, and if it is, it won't need that advantage anymore. In conclusion... it will be a matter of time that N900 has a public packet injection capable driver, more security tools and apps ported, and probably even some sort of integration/launchers are made... *BUT* it will be MUCH SOONER and probably MUCH BETTER if NeoPwn manages to reorganize his stuff and continues with this project. |

oh ... I can't because there's nothing released/public yet. all I see is a whiny blog about no one contributes without any possibility to contribute at all. neopwn may be many things but it is not open. |

I think u can still put stuff inside otherwise whats the point offering bigger storage. But im no sure u should contact the guys of neopwn. I dont need bigger mmc as 30gb n the n900 ive got enough for my needs.

Re: NeoPwn v2 = BackTrack Mobile!
I was about to order it, but at 38 dollars shipping to the UK I think I will give it a big miss
38 dollars to ship something as tiny as a microSD card is extortionate it only costs about 3 or 4 dollars to ship something as large as a DVD with case from the ( I am assuming USA) If something could be done about shipping I would pay for this current version |
Re: NeoPwn v2 = BackTrack Mobile!
Same here *Sonic*.
30$ to DK. |
Re: NeoPwn v2 = BackTrack Mobile!
Maybe selling this was their original intention.
They saw how much this is desired from the N900 community, gave an excuse for stalling the project, and started to sell beta copies. In anycase, why not sell it as a downloadable image? In total, the cost of it and shipping to the UK is ridiculous. Hope someone does a dd of the SD card, or at least extracts the drivers for us. |
Re: NeoPwn v2 = BackTrack Mobile!
I ordered the 16gb card yesterday shipping was $10 so $110 in all. I emailed them and they said yes I will be able to use the free space of the 16gb card so thats great. So I might sell my old 16gb card when I get this.

Re: NeoPwn v2 = BackTrack Mobile!
i live in greece . is it possible for me to order a an micro sd card?
|
Re: NeoPwn v2 = BackTrack Mobile!
and why should i get this card? and dont get another one afterwords and install neopwn on my own?
|
Re: NeoPwn v2 = BackTrack Mobile!
Have You tried it? :)
http://neopwn.com/store.php - Add to cart - Check Out - Fill in Billing Information (Greece is there) You won't be billed before You've agreed (and filled in Your card info)... :) |
Re: NeoPwn v2 = BackTrack Mobile!
wtf?? someone said neopwn will be 4 free??
|
Re: NeoPwn v2 = BackTrack Mobile!

well if u read the neopwn website, tells you that will be free on the final version. |
Re: NeoPwn v2 = BackTrack Mobile!
I can't believe that shipping to UK has gone up by $8 since I first tried ordering 7 hours ago! (it was $30 before) I agree shipping is ridiculously high (and even more so now) and the only thing that puts me off really as I was happy to support this project otherwise.

Maybe they're shipping the microsd's in a big, heavy metal case or something? :) That would explain the shipping cost.
