Sick My XBEE
This is the Story i had the last weekend with some cool Chips named “XBEE”.
These Chips are intelligent RS-232 -> Wireless sender and reciever who can stickt together to a so called mesh network.
First i have to tell the terminology:
“Coordinator” – is the Main Boss of the Network, who coordinates everything – and let routers and endpoints connect
“Router” – is a endpoint but can route packets and other endpoints can connect to it.
“End Device” – is a endpoint but noone can conenct to it – it is designed to save energy and run from batteries.
Mesh Networking is really fantastic because you can have a coordinator (“middle”) which is connected to routers and end devices, and is “self-healing” this means if a router is powered off, packets get automatically routed through another reachable router – so packets can arrive to their destination.
If a Enddevice don’t have a connection to a router or the coordinator, put a router in between and it will connect seamless without configuring routing or anything manually.
More about the theory you can find in the references section at the end of my Post.
Okay, first a Picture of my actual “Setup” then the painful story :)
Multi-Boot USB Thumb Drive
Ever thought it might be cool to only have an USB-Stick where all your individual security / pentest / recovery / hack-a-tack bootdiscs can be booted?
I thought so!
Crawling the Internet looks promising and shows two different ways how to get an bootdisc on your USB thumbdrive:
- Booting a bootdisc as ISO stored on the drive (which is not compatible to most bootdisc’s)
- Booting abootdisc ISO extracted to a extra Partition on the USB-Drive (which is more compatible)
Remember: both ways are possible on a single Stick, so you can have ISO’s there AND extra partitions with the contents of the original ISO.

Hi ppl!
This is my first entry, so i think i would better introduce me to you :)
I’m BioS, a not the best english writing german boy who is called a “Freak” by his colleagues, intrested in Electronics, Networking, IT, Security and everything else that can be powered..
Told as a young boy not to sit all day long in front of the C64, now earning his money with this kind of hobby.
Have a family with a little child which is trying to use Backtrack with 10 Months and a wife who plays in the evening WoW with me :)
Okay, enough for now..
