I’ve now got an Asus EEE which is going to be my dedicated backtrack/pentesting machine.

I did have some issues with the ethernet port on the unit though. After installing Jasager on the fon, using fonflash, I had no access to the fon through the Asus ethernet port. I still had access from my dual boot windows/BT4 machine, so it led me to believe that it was an issue with the Asus (even though I’d used this to flash the phone).

I picked up a Trendnet TU2-ET100 (USB to Ethernet adaptor) and plugged it into a USB port on the Asus. Worked great, straight off. I could also do everything I needed to with the Jasager firmware on the fon.

I did set up the fon to get time from an ntp server. Here’s the post where I got the info:

Now after having played a bit with hamster/ferret, sslstrip, upsidedown-ternet and airodump, I need to learn about how these tools work properly.

I’ll probably play with Hamster/Ferret and sslstrip/wireshark to start off with and will post the info to the blog.
