It's perfectly acceptable to create a random key with lots of entropy and put it in a file on a USB key from where you can easily copy & paste it when you want to add a new machine. WPA-AES can only be brute forced AFAIK and with a random enough key that's practically impossible. With WPA you use a stream cipher and the keys are constantly changed so that should be fairly secure, bugs in the implementation not withstanding. The new controller is of interest here, because if I understand it correctly, during the initialization process the device transmits your home WPA key over an unencrypted wifi link (or encrypted with a fixed/guessable WEP key, I forget which). Any NSA agents in your garden may steal it. So be particularly vigilant for black vans just after ordering your Duet.

Re: [slim] Wi-Fi Internet Clock Radio?
I love my Squeezebox, probably more so than the Duet. However, it just cannot be trusted as an alarm clock. I have installed extended alarm and have used the alarm on the squeezenetwork as well. It seems there is routinely a mess up once or twice per week. I have taken to setting an alarm on my cellphone as a backup, but what is really the point of this? You don't have a backup for your clock radio. I have examined the Chumby. It has the ability to stream radio stations, you can hookup your non Ipod Touch as a music source. You can set as many alarms as you like per day. It has a touch screen and can put flickr and other image files through the screen as well as rss feeds, stock tickers, etc. It has a button that can be assigned the snooze bar function.

Re: [slim] Vista or Trend Micro Firewall Blocking Squeezecenter
After trying for days, I am ready to throw my Squeezebox in the garbage and go back to burning CD's. I want to play high quality lossless music through my good amp and seakers using squeezebox. Under Windows XP and Slimserver 6.5 everything was great. Got a new PC with Vista Ultimate and decided to get the latest greatest version of Squeezecenter. Since then I have barely heard any music and spent countless hours getting nowhere. Logitech has got to be able to support people who want to run Squeezecenter on Vista. Maybe Vista is a pig but it's still an important pig and most new computers are shipping with it - especially home systems where people are likely to use a Squeezebox or Transporter. I managed to get the pig Squeezecenter to scan my music on my Buffalo NAS which was a lot more cumbersome than it should have been for a mapped network drive. Now I can get Squeezecenter to run only if I diasble Trend Micro Internet Security 14. Frankly, I am just not willing to run my computer without virus protection just to use my Squeezebox. Help.

What is obscure in Swedish may be off the chart in America. The real answer is that you can not tell. There are good rules of thumb, such as this: http://www.microsoft.com/protect/yourself/password/create.mspx > there my pass is judged as "resonable" with "Entropy: 48.9 bits " There is a fundamental flaw in measuring entropy in this context. The definition comes from Claude Shannon's work, which is also the basis for PCM audio, so I can make a tenuous connection back to audio, squeezeboxen, etc. and is based on probability. The usual measure is based on characters. So in theory, the information value of an eight bit character is 1/256. But in English, we use far fewer characters in "words". And as pointed out above, the character set may have other limitations. So the values may be radically different in practice. Most folks use something close to words in their native language. This is the basis for all dictionary attacks. The Microsoft paper cited above, talks about how conversions to EleetSpeak, or similar things are weak. They specifically say that "M1cr0$0ft" is not much more 'random' than "Microsoft". As the Microsoft paper says: "Avoid dictionary words in any language. Criminals use sophisticated tools that can rapidly guess passwords that are based on words in multiple dictionaries, including words spelled backwards, common misspellings, and substitutions. This includes all sorts of profanity and any word you would not say in front of your children." The problem is always social engineering, humans simply can't remember strong random things. We have not evolved to do so. So we either use something not random, like the phrase about Transporters in my posting up thread, or we write it down on yellow sticky pads and past them to the monitor. > All music in the world is aviable on any torrent tracker. The primary rule of serious security is to make the cost of the attack higher than the value of the target. So if all that is in the target is music, which is all over the torrent world, then there is little value in the attack. This could change if your music is flac and all the torrents have is over compressed MP3. Realistically, the primary value in attacks on home servers is either: 1) access to bank accounts, brokerage accounts, or identity theft enablers 2) hosts for botnets to attack other systems. What is interesting to me is that nearly all of the information for this stuff is ancient. I wrote Towards a Model of Computer Security October 1992 National Computer Security Conference, Fort Meade, MD, with William H Murray. That was nearly 15 years ago. We modeled how a machine can be used as a resource for attacks on other systems.

Once you get out of the realm of anything in a reasonable dictionary (i.e. random chars) you start getting into _how_ random it is (like your comment about an MD5 hash not being random enough). My point is that whilst good randomness is needed to implement an algo, it's not needed to generate a key, provided the attacker doesn't have access to or knowledge of how you did it.

Now having said that, the SB3 still has a switcher inside the case so in the end, why bother? Do I think there is a benefit from the extra available current over the OEM supply, personally I do. I had a regulated HP supply on my SB3 for over a week and had it set to save the peak amp draw. My SB3 will use more then 2 amps if it is available, YMMV. So yes I like the CI VDC-SB for the current overhead, but there is still that internal switcher.

As I mentioned before, I'm pretty certain that the font within text

previous font was probably Verdana, or maybe a fixed width, now it's the
much more difficult to read Arial.
Another thing is that the popup boxes in the forums (Search, Quick

[slim] upgraded from xp pro to vister business
Since my SC box had my only spare sata and I need vister to use my blu
ray drive, I decided to upgrade it to vister business.
The good news:
Everything except the HP 5500 (all-in-one) did not complain. I did use
the vister upgrade adviser and it complained about a couple of other
issues, but they were not a problem after install. The all-in-one
reinstalls after each reboot... I'll reinstall later.
Performance seems as good. This was a real surprise. This is a
Dimension 5150 (2.8Ghz dual-core/1.5Gb/120Gb/X300 graphics.) Re-scan
after clear all is within 1 minute of xp pro. Service to the players
only stutters as the SC box comes out of sleep.
The bad news:
It took 6+ hours. Unlike my numerous other winders upgrades, this one
did not take any input after the first 20 minutes (including the
license number, etc.)
The system did correctly indicate that ('this could take hours)

radish wrote: > How does the amount of entropy affect the crack time for brute force, > provided there's a trivial amount so the key isn't in a dictionary? This is getting OT, and complicated. First, it depends on the cipher and the amount of ciphertext you have access to. With WiFi, its easy to get huge amounts of cipher text and you can get some known clear text. For example, if the user checks his email every 10 minutes, you can see traffic, which will have known text as he does the POP3 access to the ISP. With better ciphers, every bit in the key changes every byte of output. But you don't know, without doing a lot of serious post-doc-level analysis, if changing the key from "Bonjour" to "Bonj0ur" changes it completely, or if you can do partial attacks. Birthday paradox become a big deal with sufficient amounts of ciphertext. You also don't know how the attack works. For example, with a cable modem or DSL line, a little work wearing all black can let you plug in a 'butt set' to pick up the clear text. With both clear text and cipher text, a lot of attacks are much easier. Its all about how paranoid you want to be. Remember, just because you are paranoid, it doesn't mean that they are not out to get you. > in so he has to test those all the same.

Provided your key isn't in the dictionary, you're looking at a pretty long search time. The examples I've seen indicate around 20keys/sec.

Let's say, for an example, that I have a really lame dict file that only includes english words. In this situation "Bonjour" is just as hard to crack as "aX2*i9:", and in fact "111" isn't any easier. Of course in real life Bonjour and 111 would be in the dictionary, so the random-ish key is better. I guess I'm just not understanding your comment on an MD5 hash not being good enough. Provided the attacker doesn't know you make a habit of using MD5 to generate your keys I think you're fine. Of course there's another issue for the attacker once he's done with the dictionary, and that's that he doesn't know how much entropy is in my key, so he has to assume the maximum. I may have chosen to only use upper case letters, but he has no idea that my key doesn't have numbers in so he has to test those all the same. Now he may be smart and think that I'm probably an idiot and have a really small character set, so statistically he's better off hitting the lower-case-only keys first, but you get my point. > > A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. > Agreed.

Edit the script file to make the diskutil command run on your system. 4. Test script with the same params as previous runs of cdda2wav. There should be no difference in output. 5. If all OK - try with CDplayer plugin with SC. If SC is run from Terminal - when script is run the echo message will be displayed. Code: #!/bin/sh app=cdda2wavreal if [ -x /usr/local/bin/$app ] ; then app=/usr/local/bin/$app fi # Next line is only a guess - needs to be edited but redirection of stdout (1) is essential echo "cdda2wav script running " 1>&2 diskutil unmount /dev/disk1 1>&2 "$app" $* -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42106 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

radish wrote: > 2. Break the WPA encryption >[snip] > decent password is basically impossible unless (and possibly even if) > you're the NSA. This is much too strong of a statement without some qualifications. WPA with AES-CCMP is strong, WPA with RC4 is substantially weaker, and is used in many (most?) places. And the requirement for "decent password" is not often met. Weak passphrases can be detected and cracked with widely available and easy to use tools such as kismet. To be 'decent' a password has to have a lot of entropy, which means true random values. Just being long is not sufficient. A passphrase of: "A SlimDevices Transporter is a great audiophile component" is long, but has trivial amounts of entropy, especially among folks on this forum. A good password looks like: 642435996fa7035bde1adaef4ec16368687a8b74 and this is actually a bad example, as it is not at all random, rather its the md5 checksum of a common file. I generally do not make casual comments about NSA's code breaking ability. They are very good. If they want to break in, they probably will.

Re: [slim] Playing cd's
See post #76.( http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=296066&postcount=76 ) The issues I have with unmounted before playing a track is there may be a delay before starting to play a track also delays may result in SC closing pipe. Also the script will have to be edited by the user to provide the right disk to unmount (e.g. disk1). If the user gives wrong disk then strange errors may happen. I would prefer to minimise user config that cannot be controlled. As I said in post #76 - it would be a stopgap. The fact that Automount=Yes in Hostconfig - means there is some process automounting and it should be possible to stop it. However without a Mac onhand I was going through Apple developer reference ( http://developer.apple.com/reference/MacOSX/index-date.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30001281-TP3471 ) I hadn't got around to writing the script but this is roughly how it would be 1. change in custom-convert.conf [cdda2wav] to [cdda2wavosx.sh] 2. In Plugins/CDplayer/Bin create an executable shell script called cdda2wavosx.sh 3. I need to think a bit about the script cdda2wavosx.sh as cdda2wav can be badly behaved. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42106 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Are you using SqueezeCenter? If so, I'd suggest installing version
7.0.1 and see if that clears up your issue.

Re: [slim] Hide SSID ?
So to get into your network you would have to do the following: 1. Find the network (given that SSID beacon is off) 2. Break the WPA encryption 3. Grab a valid MAC to associate with the AP 4. Select an unused IP (no spoofing required) Of these, all are trivially easy to do except step 2, which given a decent password is basically impossible unless (and possibly even if) you're the NSA. Hence, you could switch on the SSID and switch off the MAC filtering and still be just as secure as you were before. However now you wouldn't have all those niggly little issues with devices which like to see the SSID or which have a new MAC to add to the router.

Re: [slim] Hide SSID ?
Well I can see that MAC filtering can be cracked. Does it not do any good as my filtered devices SB SBR and SBC are on the net all the time. and the only Mac's the router lets through is these 3 adresses. So any hack has to compete with these for bandwith. The Mac filterings works without any problems, I don't see why it would be bad, my setups rarely changes. So i don't see it as a hustle to alter the router settings once or twice a year. My network is so static that it is in fact completely static, no DCHP I do use WPA2 AES but i'm not so paranoid that i have an completely randomized code... yet. it's 15 characters long. And i skipped the most obvious traps and did not use a pass based on family names, pets etc or common language. So what would happen's if someone did crac my security you have to spoof 1 mac adress crac my WPA2 code spoof an IP nr, would not something crash if 2 devices had the same MAC and IP or same MAC and 2 different IP's. What would the router do ? I could change my code to something random but then i have to setup the receiver again, ouch ! btw why would an hidden SSID invite haxx0rs ? how fun can a 4port router at a private home be ?

Re: [slim] Squeeze controller losing network connection
I just wanted to let you know how my connection problem was resolved. I used to have a problem choosing music source from the controller. The screen would show the name of my computer running SqueezeCenter (SC) as well as SqueezeNetwork (SN), but trying to select SC only showed the "connecting" screen for a long time (every time) before finally saying that the connection failed. This issued was solved either by upgrading my Linksys WRT54G router firmware to DD-WRT v23, by the latest software upgrade on the controller, or both (I did not have time to try just the new router firmware because the controller auto-updated). I suspect the problem was the router firmware, since I saw a comment about my old third-party (Satori) firmware causing similar problems with other applications. My only problem now is that the SC default skin is very slow in Firefox, but selecting the "classic" skin solves that.

Re: [slim] WOL for Duet and XP?
WoL won't work under all conditions. If you power up the Controller and Receiver from cold, there's no means to wake SqueezeCenter in standby. Once powered up (and SG woken by other means the first time) the Controller will retain it's capacity for WoL provided the network connection isn't lost etc.(whereupon it loses most of it menu options). The above assumes that you bios settings and NIC have been appropriately configured for WoL.

Re: [slim] SBC major software update bug?
I am having this problem also. For a while my SBC was telling me every day about an update, which I would dutifully apply. Then one day I hit the update which would crash the SBC whenever I tried to auto-update to it. I did the manual update workaround, and that resolved the problem. Recently I noticed that it had not asked me to update in quite some time. I checked and saw that, sure enough, it was at r2287. I downloaded the latest jive bin file from here: http://www.slimdevices.com/downloads/nightly/latest/trunk/ I renamed it to jive.bin, put it on an SD card, and applied it to the SBC manually. Worked fine, now I'm at r2354. However, when I check the software update menu from the SBC, it still says there is an update available to r2287. Odd! I looked on my Squeezecenter system to find any old jive binaries lying around: $ find / -name *jive*.bin -print /var/cache/squeezecenter/jive_1_r1605.bin /var/cache/slimserver/jive_1_r1279.bin /var/lib/squeezecenter/cache/jive_7.0.1_r2287.bin $ I deleted all of those, but still the SBC reported that r2287 update was available. That got me thinking that probably there was some data file which told it when an update was available... $ sudo find / -name *jive* -print /var/cache/squeezecenter/jive.version /var/cache/slimserver/jive.version /var/lib/squeezecenter/cache/jive.version $ cat /var/lib/squeezecenter/cache/jive.version 7.0.1 r2287 [EMAIL PROTECTED] #48 Sat Apr 19 01:23:24 PDT 2008 $ Aha! So why does that file still list r2287? Anyway, I deleted all of those files, rebooted the SBC, but *still* it insists that r2287 update is available. At this point I am guessing this information must also be cached somewhere on the SBC itself. I'm wondering if a factory reset is the way to clear that out.

Run the SR into the receiver via coax. Generally prefer plain stereo playback for music. Keep trying the surround sound modes, and occasionally like one with certain music, but they all have negative effects as well. Actually, the NAD has a "surround" mode where it just duplicates the stereo to the rear channels, and if you turn those channels way down, it does add a bit of "space" without any corruption, so often do that.

Thanks Ben, I found that one on the internet and I tried for an hour to make it work. The "run as administrator" box was greyed out. I think I might have to set up an admin account or something.

Re: [slim] Caller ID and Slimserver
It seems like the caller ID string is correct, if your other caller ID programs are working correctly. You can confirm this by viewing your modem log. Also, have you updated your registry according to the YAC instructions? -- Duman Duman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=809 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=10582 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Slimserver Problems running on Windows Vista
I'm running 7.0 on Home Premium The application cannot be stopped using the tray icon, a reboot of the computer is required. The application fails with some frequency and again, it cannot be stopped and started from the tray icon and cannot be killed from task manager either. It's important for Squeezecenter to not die and it's important to be able to stop and start it when I wish too. Are there solutions for these issues? -- jstraw jstraw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17008 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32578 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] squeezecenter and slimp3slave volume control
Hi, I'm french so excuse me by advance for my bad english language. I installed on a nas cs-406 (synology power pc like ds-101) ssods ans squeezecenter 7. I plugged on a usb port an audio card to deliver sound. I launched slimp3slave -b to play mp3 tracks. >From the squeezecenter web interface I play music and sound is OK. My problem is that I can't control sound volume level. Volume don't increase or deacrease when I move the sound bar. I tried squeezesoft, so the sound is very bad, I have very big latency and this soft seem to use high memory or cpu usage... I would like to try squeezeslave but I'm not sure that it's possible to control the volume sound, and compilation failed for this soft in my nas. Is there a solution, a parameter to change to enable sound control on slimp3slave, or a patch to enable this function ? I want for the moment control my server from the web interface, after when all will be ok, I want to control the music server with a psp or nokia 770. So for that I need a full working solution. Thanks for your help.
