Hi folks - Just a little update on Penumbra: the generic packet injection interface patches I wrote for the mac80211 stack have been accepted in the last few days into Linus' git tree.
For wireless devices with drivers using mac80211, from kernel 2.6.23rc1 onwards normal unpatched distro kernels will start to allow generic unencrypted ieee80211 packet injection and reception across the range of mac80211 drivers using a single radiotap-based packet header system... in short stock 2.6.23+ kernels will be "Penumbra ready". Many other interesting protocols are possible using the ability selectively broadcast and receive unencrypted packets from people around you. I wrote an example small usermode applet with sources to send and receive unencrypted packets here: http://penumbra.warmcat.com/_twk/tiki-index.php?page=packetspammer and there is more info about penumbra and its sources here: http://penumbra.warmcat.com/_twk/tiki-index.php?page=Implementation http://penumbra.warmcat.com/_twk/tiki-index.php?page=Downloads and both are in git here: http://git.warmcat.com -Andy _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
