Squid Proxy

cache1:~ # /usr/local/squid/sbin/squid -N -d 1 -D

#!/bin/bash #bash file titled 'testSquid.bsh'

sudo tail -f /var/log/squid/access.log &

sudo /usr/sbin/squid -N -D -d 1 & 

sudo /usr/local/squid/sbin/squid -NCd1 #another squid command

The commands above were used on Linux RedHat 9 machine.

Interesting Article about Securing Wifi

"Experts say the more savvy hackers can go beyond just connecting to the Internet on the host's dime and monitor Internet activity and steal passwords or other sensitive information."

Documentation Hunting

Must find documentation for the majority of equipment used for future reference.

I wear this hat, too: "Sound Engineer"

In general terms, a sound engineer is someone responsible for some aspect of the sound at live shows. Many people think of the sound engineer as the person who stands behind the big sound desk (aka mixing desk) at a show and mixes the sound the audience hears, also known as front of house (FOH) sound. There are other roles for sound engineers at shows.

The devices used and steps taken to obtain wireless bridge

This is a list of devices I used:

Netgear N150 Wireless Router WNR1000v3

Belkin 54g F5D7230

Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router

For the Belkin and Linksys to work with a wireless bridge, I disabled the QoS option on the Belkin router.  It was on for the netgear access point, but for the Linksys router, I turned if off for it to work correctly.  The only way to impose QOS is to have the belkin doing routing. If it is bridged by some means, it cannot impose QOS.  In this case, the Linksys is the router and the Belkin is the wireless bridge.

Set the Alternative Configuration for the wired TCP/IP to match with the repeater.  These are the steps to get the wireless bridge working with WEP encryption for a Belkin and Netgear:

1) Set netgear to be the access point
2) Assign netgear a wireless WEP password on the router
3) Make sure the netgear router knows the MAC address of the belkin repeater
4) Set belkin to be the wireless bridge by listing netgear MAC address
5) Set the belkin wireless WEP security to match with netgear wireless WEP security
6) Wait for the netgear signal to reach the belkin repeater for the wireless bridge to work
7) The DHCP server should be on the network access point

I tested the connection speed by downloading firefox, flash player, and going to youtube to play worship songs.

Netgear Wireless Bridging Overview

"Wireless Bridging is usually used to extend network coverage to locations physical cabling cannot conveniently reach.

As of July 2005, NETGEAR access points supporting WDS are WG302, WAG302, WG602v2, WG602v3 and ME103. WDS is supported between any of them, except the ME103, which can only WDS to another ME103. (The Wi-Fi Alliance do not certify WDS, so there is no guarantee that one model of access point can do WDS to a different model of access point.)

• Technical Support does not provide free help setting up WDS between NETGEAR access points and non-NETGEAR equipment.
• It is not possible to create wireless bridge between NETGEAR wireless routers and NETGEAR wireless access points."

http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/960/~/wireless-bridging-overview

Network repeating allows two distant sections of a wireless network to communicate. This explains how to do wirelessrepeating with NETGEAR access points.

Other models and firmware may work similarly to this example:

• WG602v2 access point, firmware version 3.2 RC6.
• WG302 access point, firmware version 2.0.3.
• 64-bit or 128-bit WEP (optional).
• Access control list (optional).
• No WPA/PSK— This type of WPA security will not work with repeating.

Researching this idea to perform a Skype call to others or even another country

Researching this idea out there to see if we have enough resources to performance a Skype call to others or another country.

Needs:

Does your home church’s missions conference not coincide with your furlough?  Do your supporters want to talk to you after a major event on your field?  Skype can help bridge the gap between you and your supporting churches.  It is not high quality video conferencing, but it is easy to do.  Here is what you need to get started.

The church needs:  (this may take some time for the sound technican to set up)

• video projector
• computer
• webcam (if you want to see them)
• internet connection (wired is better than wireless)
• audio connection from their sound board to the microphone jack on the computer
• audio connection from their sound board to the headphone jack on the computer
• video connection from their projector to the computer

You need:

• computer
• webcam
• microphone (many webcams include a microphone)
• internet connection (wired is better than wireless)

Tips:

• choose a quiet place, where family members, collegues, or pets will not interrupt you
• turn off all noises (alarms, mobile phones, house phones)
• check your webcam and microphone position
• check your background and lighting (more lighting usually helps)
• dress appropriately
• use a wired internet connection, not wireless (speed matters)
• have an outline of what you plan to say
• write out your first and last sentences word-for-word
• ask the church for a list of questions they will ask and prepare your answers
• look at your webcam, not your screen
• test it with the church a few days before the interview (talking to a large auditorium is different than talking to a friend on Skype)
