[Q] Aircrack-ng on Windows8 - General Questions and Answers

So let me tell of a little story,
I managed to get myself on this nice laptop. It was really good for gaming and such, and at one point in time I tried putting another Operating System on it. Sadly I kept having driver issues, and they couldnt be fixed. So I went back to Windows8 and kept it on.
That is why I am using Windows8.
My question is:
Can Aircrack-ng work on Windows8?
Thanks for reading this low quality post ^_^

this is the wrong forum for you, or is your device running windows 8 RT? i don`t think so.
besides that, using aircrack is best on linux. you don`t have any driver issues there AND there maybe special drivers available to make you hack your wifi faster, better or easier.

Please help a, gosh, a newb

I have a MAC. I'm using VM Fusion on with Windows XP for the virtual machine.
I want to go I9000 (sick of app limitations and ATT in general).
I cannot for the life of me get the Samsung USB drivers to work on my Windows side of the MAC. I've tried install, re-install over and over. I've tried, and have, both versions of the Samsung drivers that are out there.
I have the ODIN program and all the stuff needed to get the i9000 on my phone.
My phone goes to down load mode.
I've been at this 8 HOURS and am about to break a 32" lcd monitor!!!!
Please.... I will take any suggestions on how to get my phone to connect on Windows XP.
i'm not sure what the compatability is for emulating windows but i did have problems installing my drivers on my pc (win XP) and my solution was kies from samsung. it automatically installed the drivers for me. it can be found at samsung.com.
Sorry..... a little anxious, frustrated, and well.... you get the point.
Thanks.... I am getting KIES right now....
talking like that won't get you help any faster...
edit: yeppers, trust me, i get you.
....
Yes I know.... thx again..
Breath, drink, don't break the monitor, keep trying..... the now 9 hours will pay off!!!
lol, did it work for you?
Downloading now...
Of course the download is taking forever. Normally I can download around 200 MB in a minute or two... this 136 MB file is going at the rate of about 39 KB/sec..
Grin and bear it right? Man I hope this works!
Will update this with results.....
40k a sec...wow, i'm sorry man...that makes me want a drink now.

Just the kind of day it's been.... I no sooner type the speed of download and hit post.... sure as sh*t the thing has downloaded already.
The Kies installer will open, and the progress bar is indicating the files are extracting and then it just dead ends me....
Gotta play around with it I guess..
ever think about dual boot instead of emulating? or maybe in addition to. or can mac's do that? kies installed fine for me, sorry man, idk...
hey i was also thinking about this, how does your setup send the fact that your phone is connected to the emulated xp instead of just iOS? maybe stupid question, but i thought i'd ask

Hey that is a great idea, the booting up just the windows side... I've never done it but I think there is a native Mac app called boot camp.
As of now, it seems like the first kies file I downloaded was corrupt. I downloaded again and now it is actually installing the software.
My virtual machine sees the Android phone, and then Windows picks it up but errors it out as an unknown USB device. No matter where I point the XP device to for driver files it won't pick them up.
On the Mac side... it just shows up in Finder once mounted.
Hey OP, I had the same problem as you and I just ended up going the Bootcamp route. For whatever reason VMware Fusion with Win7 does not want to recognize the Captivate. I know its not much help and having to go with bootcamp instead of a VM does kinda suck but the bright side is that you can always open up your bootcamp partition with VMware Fusion while in OSX if you need quick access to Windows.
Kind of topic, but how do you access boot camp with VM Fusion from the Mac OS?
I only use windows for IE, as I visit websites that only work with that browser.
Anyways... sure as sh*t this morning I wake up and get the old xp laptop out, download the Samsung Capitave drivers and instantly hook my phone up.
So.... an entire day wasted on trying to connect my phone to XP virtual machine. Gotta laugh .... right?

Testers wanted.

Looking for testers for a future project that i am currently trying to work on. Hopes to support in the end a wide varity of the samsung devices but for now im looking for samsung tab owners galaxy s 4g owners and vibrant owners that wanna help people that have extra devices welcome just drop me a line....
What is this you ask...
Well since phones are now starting to catch up fast as far as speed and storage and ram and video capabilities of some of the lower end laptops i am going to currently start working on a Ubuntu verrant that will a custom Linux environment based of course off the phone or tabs hardware.
But why would anyone want to do this?
Well the reason for it sometimes its not 100 percent pheaseable to carry around a notebook net book and a few other devices and u may need access to a pc this may fit your bill.. That and It would just be intristing to have a actual linux client running on a phone
What are the goals of this?
get the linux kernel compiled with the drivers we need for audio video phone radio bluetooth keyboard and mouse support along with keeping support for all other phone related functions.
linux client that boots and lets you log into the the x windows interface and launch apps would be a great start thats the second goal
third will be to get the linux client to work not only with some of the applicatons on linux but also retain the phones ability to run the phones applicatons as well.
THe overall goal of this would be to be able to when you wanted hook your phone using the tv out capablity (supported devices) and use a Bluetooth keyboard mouse and printer and use it as a net book u could also surf the web type up emails and or documents some of which already can be done on some of the devices.. THis might also open up another avenue that we could use or devices for.
This is just a quick summery feel free to leave comments call me crazy or what not lol..
Sounds like a good plan

I don't think screens on the phones are big enough for it to be convenient enough for people to use an OS like Ubuntu easily. Tablets are another story, of course.

mostly everyone is going to be new to this lol or you talking about computer skills wise which i doubt it would take much since hes setting everything up..
well the idea behind it would be to odin a zimage with the core files on the sd card and have a script that would auto install the rom upon boot eg u odin rom phone boots says please wait while the os is installed go get some dinner whatever while it goes though it when u come back it would be up and running. LIke i said ultimatly i want it to work as a phone and a desktop. Well at least i got some intrest ill keep u posted on progress.
example would be when u used the usb tv out the phone could auto sense this and switch to what would account for desktop mode so you could use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to navigate and then when u unplug it the screen would switch to a more phone touch friendly enviroment. These are just ideas. Honestly not sure how this is going to work as far as a tab based device its prob alot easier and mb a vibrant phone cause of the large amounts of internal storage.
sg4g im stll trying to figure out how to work around this. Also to get kernels up and have them be more of a unitifed system so i could make one package that serves multi devices instead of x package for this y package for that it helps tremulously.
the goal is to keep this as tech newb friendly with keeping at least some decent functionality on it. SInce the os will setup and take care of video audio and what not the only think u would need really is bluetooth parings for the keyboard and mouse and a printer provided i can actually get this to work...
ill keep all intrested parties posted and when i get something to work with ill move to the android dev fourm for it.
http://phandroid.com/2009/05/27/what-if-ubuntu-could-run-android-applications-it-can/
as u can see they can get linux to run android apps heck theres even debin running on the g1 as far as linux goes. THe point of what i wanna do is make it a little more friendly and accessable without having to folllow 14 pages of directions and not to make the apps as a emulated portion but as a seemless intrgration.
Im interested. Very interested... Id be will to test when im not working and on the weekends.

Sounds like a crazy notion, but still well worthwhile. I like your way of thinking.
I'll see if i can get my hands on a second device, or get a well-discounted one for you to buy.
There might be some damn good money in this idea for you as well.

well im loooking on ebay for someones bricked phone as i havea riff box so i could more then likley unbrick the phone for testing purposes.
Well the problem isnt installing linux onto the phone as i have went though many fourms and stuch getting linux on the phone seems to be the easy part with some reading and knowing what to do and not do. The real hurtle is a genuine way to cross link the libraries. So instead of running the android software as a virtual app (taken from screenies) to more of a native app across both platforms.
Im not looking to make this a omg it will run every peace of linux software ever written as these are phones not laptops notebooks net books desktops. THe goal would be primarlly for business people and people that would say need a quick way to read though e mail check Facebook maybe play a game here or there ( more then likely not) and type up documents if needed. THere is alot more limitation more so on the memory side of the phone then the processer and gpu capabilities considering open gl 4.1 is fully compatibly with open gl es for cellphones actually getting a ogl desktop isnt a really hard hurtle to get past. Since it retains the useability for open gl es

Yeah, I would expect quite a few device limitations preventing you from the usual run-of-the-mill software.

Surface Breakthroughs?

As we saw back in January, an individual had been able to crack the secure boot to allow a Mac OS to successfully run on an RT...no tutorial released. I own an RT, so this information was extremely appealing. I was hoping an android method would be released sometime soon but nothing ever came of it. Has anyone made any progress?

That's using an x86 emulator (BOCHS, it's floating around here somewhere) to run an old version of Mac OS on top of Windows RT. All the information to do that has been documented, it's just more or less pointless, so nobody in the real world gave it much attention.
As far as I know (and I try to keep up to date on these things) SecureBoot hasn't been compromised. As far as I know there haven't been any in depth looks into it, either, but that could easily be going on in secrecy.
Edit: Theoretically it should be possible to use a kernel mode driver to essentially hijack the entire system and reboot into Linux without actually rebooting. I'm way oversimplifying what it needs, though.

On your edit, so essentially an executeable safestrap? My thought would be that the kernel would be difficult to compile. However, my experience in the subject is rather limited at best. Oversimplification is great to get everyone one the same page of possibility. The main purpose of this thread was to spark interest in that possibility. Your knowledge of the subject could get the ball rolling to unlock the full potential of this machine. So...what needs to be done?
A kernel for the Tegra 3 SOC used in Surface RT isn't hard to come by; I think nVidia makes them publicly available. However, the Board Support Package for the Surface's hardware might be trickier; a lot of it is probably already supported by Linux but some might not be. It's basically the standard driver support issue; you might get Linux to boot but some stuff just wouldn't work (at least at first).
Now, writing that driver? Heh, good luck. Driver development on NT is hard enough in the first place, even assuming you have a good DDK (I don't think we do yet) and that there aren't a bunch of checks in the system plus hacks to bypass them. Then there's the fact that it's a very low-level driver, to be able to take over the whole OS memory image (probably implies full control over the Windows memory manager) and replace it wholesale. I wouldn't even know how to write that in x86, much less ARM. That isn't to say it can't be done, of course, but it's a hell of a task.
There is a full DDK floating around, it's where I got cdb from for the jailbreak.

[Q] What to do with my TF101?

Hi all,
I haven't used my tablet in ages, because I don't know what to do with my tablet.
That sounds a bit strange, but I haven't found something interesting.
Some topics I'm interested in: hacking, modding, Linux, etc.
I was thinking about using my tab for controlling stuff in the house (lights, power, etc.).
But then, I could also use my phone for that kind of stuff. And their the problem begins, almost everything I can do on my tab, I can do on my phone.
It seems also to be difficult to sell the tablet for some reason, no one seems interested.
What I would like is to get Arch Linux on it or something that is clean, fast & up-to-date.
Or just some cool ideas I haven't done with the tablet yet.
Anyway, sorry for this question. But I hope to get an answer what to do.
Thanks!
Dunno about Arch, but there are a couple of Linux projects going on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2648862
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2692270
Maybe learn from the above, and port Arch linux instead of *buntu
If you are knowledgeable with Linux, maybe you could take up where this project ended
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168473
And iirc, there was a way to emulate Win 95 on the TF a while ago
There are some hardware mod projects too, people have added laptop HDDs to the dock (inside) and wired them to the USB ports
But being an ARM Android tablet, options for projects are quite limited, I guess you could learn how to port Android and make your own ROMs for the TF101 / become a dev on XDA and release new builds of your ROMs like other devs do
--
Sounds like the Raspberry Pi would be more your type of thing, they have just released a new Model B+ for $35 the other day too, you can install Arch on that
I know some people set them up to use in the car for media devices or for obdii scanners. Just a thought.

Really the best way to figure out what it can do, and do better that your phone is to use it. There are some things I find much easier to do on my table than on my phone especially as I have a keyboard which gives me usb ports and a real keyboard. Much more convenient to type anything of length than my phone.
Anyway, you really just have to dedicate yourself to using it before you can make judgments as to what device is going to be best suited for what activities.

postmarketOS Boot Issue - Surface 2 RT

*Issue solved, OS build meant for Surface RT, not Surface 2 RT. If someone could comment on how to delete a post, I'd appreciate it. Thank you.*
I've searched for this and found one dead, low-traffic thread that didn't provide any information. I'm attempting to use a USB to boot postmarketOS onto my Surface 2 RT, and have followed the instruction at openrt.gitbook to the point of booting the new OS. I formatted the USB in Windows cmd following these instructions:
diskpart
list disk
select disk X (Where X is the number assigned to the target USB drive)
clean
convert mbr
create partition primary
format fs=fat32 quick
assign
active
exit
I download the img.xz file (newest lxqt image from the postmarketOS surface rt wiki) on my android and use Zarchiver to get the .img file. I move that to my computer and write it to the USB using Rufus. After booting the Surface from USB, the following is displayed after a half hour or so of just the "Surface" logo:
Booting 'postmarketOS'
EFI stub: Entering in SVC mode with MMU enabled
EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel...
EFI stub: Free memory starts at 0x82320000, setting kernel_base to 0x82300000
EFI stub: Using DTB from configuration table
EFI stub: Loaded initrd from LINUX_EFI_INITRD_MEDIA_GUID device path
EFI stub: Exiting boot services and installing virtual address map...
_
It sat there throughout last night and never progressed. I feel as though I haven't properly created the bootable USB, but I'm pretty new. Can anyone see where I went wrong from just this information?
Thank you.

If you wanna learn more, or think you can contribute in any way, theres an Open RT Discord. That's where everyone is who got postmark/linux to work in the first place.
Currently they have a build of LineageOS recovery running and are working on Android.
Linux CAN be booted on the Surface RT 2, but its a WIP at the moment. A few things are broken Theres a guide in the discord as well.

I appreciate that. I've joined the discord, that's where I found my error. Those guys were quick and spot on with the replies. I get a good feeling from this community right off the bat, so I'll be sticking around to learn and hopefully get to a point where I have usable input.
It seems to me my best course for right now might be the win10. I've read that many find it painfully slow, but they were running it on rt. Do you know if that's also the case for the 2?

If you like numbers >8, sure go Windows 10. Windows 10 is still slower than Windows 8 even on the RT 2. Windows 10 can't install any apps that Win 8 can't. It has Microsoft Edge, but it's still no better than IE really, no youtube, slow loading, lots of pages broken, etc. It's basically unfinished beta software.
It's a fun little project and it's cool to see Win10 on the device, I had Win10 on my surface 2 for a few months, but i realized it's just not practical so I switched back to 8. I mainly use my surface for Splashtop, as a second monitor for my PC.
Not tryna discourage you, by all means flash Win10 to the tablet, just letting you know it's functionally the same and even a little worse than 8.1

That's good to know. The issue that got me started searching around is that there are some websites that I just can't access, example being dndbeyond. Kindle app has been gone for years which is why I put the tablet in the drawer in the first place. I'd just like to use it minimally, I decided yesterday to try and reload 8.1 because I can't even get the updates it should have (I've followed some troubleshooting tutorials to no avail). I like the tablet, I just wish it was still useful.

I wish it was too, especially for us with the Surface 2. The screen and speakers on this thing are still pretty dang good. Even on the first one with linux running okay, theres still no hardware acceleration for web browsing, so streaming sites like youtube or netflix won't work. But the small community in the discord seem to be making progress almost daily.
I'd legit hand over $50 to get a build of Android

On the surface RT 1, Linux has gotten pretty solid. Even Android is available. Better than Windows for a couple usecases.
On the Surface RT 2 however, I'd stay away. Still no hardware acceleration on the RT2. So everything is slow and choppy in Linux. Not to mention USB doesn't work unless it's externally powered, so if you want any peripherals to work you need a powered USB hub. And still no Android builds.
