I just installed Ubuntu 16.04 on a separate HDD, and I noticed two oddities:
Whereas on 14.04 (on my main HDD) my USB Wi-Fi dongle shows up as wlan0, on 16.04 it shows up as wlx000f6001b75c.
Also, using the hw ether parameter to change the MAC address doesn't work on 16.04.
Here's the releave...
According to Wikipedia:
A Media Access Control address (MAC address) is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on the physical network segment
But how unique are MAC addresses on devices coming out of the factory? I seem to remember hearing a long time ago abo...
Again and again I read that devices are uniquely identified by their MAC addresses. But how are MAC addresses determined? (And do they tell us anything about the device which they represent?)
@KazWolfe I've always thought about installing Kali on my laptop to steal Wi-Fi from someone who paid for it on an airplane, but my conscience won't permit it :)
@KazWolfe to some extend MACs are unique because the range of MAC addresses is regulated by IEEE , I think, and manufacturers purchase and register specific range of addresses for them

@AndroidDev Here's the thing - you don't need Kali. What you need is the specific suit of tools for wifi hacking, like aircrack. It's readily available on Ubuntu. The thing is that there's a lot of people who think " Oooo, I intalled Kali, I'm such haxor." And then they run into their first issue and come here to AU and say "plz, halp"
I have a Neato XV-* lidar unit, connected with a Sparkfun FTDI chip, and an Arduino Uno. They show up as /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1, unpredictably unassigned.
So, I wrote /etc/udev/rules.d/80-arduinouno.rules:
SUBSYSTEM=="tty",
ATTRS{idProduct}=="7523", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1a86",
MODE="0666",

hey, cool, i got a completely security-focused flack.
Either way, you get 2FA, plausible deniability, and the ability to destroy one of the factors quickly and efficiently. Or, you can just ignore all of that and just have a 10GB image or a corrupt MP4? It might be hiding data!"). You're relying on security by obscurity, which is then being used to actually check would be to just try to crack data just "on a security system. In fact, most Linux systems have their security chains start doing that, hackers would just exploit other security holes. The first rule of security is that if I have physical access and enough motivation, it is always pos…
So, aside from my plans to learn more programming languages in 2017, i'm wondering what should i pick up on Linux specifically . . . .Maybe I should pickup some of the hard-drive/ssd questions and filesystem type of stuff ? Or maybe wireless ?
does anyone know if it is possible to flash ubuntu or any other linux distribution on an ipad?
I am pretty annoyed by IOS and thought it a nice feature to switch totally to the linux OS. If one has an idea, please let me know.
Thanks in advance!
@KazWolfe That means you "only" have to edit 134 more posts (except your own), vote on 287 more questions, raise 47 more helpful flags and heavily vote on your competitors' answers...
I reinstalled Ubuntu because before it would not let me log in. I thought maybe I did something wrong. Now i did it again, and it still doesnt work. This is what it says when i try to log in.

So, i was watching Phil DeFranco's top 5 weird stories for 2016 video. One guy drove through neighborhood and saw house being on fire and dog barking inside. So he rammed through the fence, broke the glass door, and grabbed the dog. . . . .well, except the problem is that there was no fire, he was tripping on LSD
