Hi,

I've asked my college and now I try to translate what he said to me. I remember you told me that the german language is not your favorite.. ;-)
The idea of a directional antenna is right but it is only just the first of three steps. If you buy an AP the build-in antenna is nearly omnidirectional, that means the electromagnetic output goes everywhere. If you are searching for an AP or a user that uses your AP remember he can be everwhere within the reach of the AP. In a few weeks we organize another recruiting day and give them a change to build a WLAN antenna by there own. My college gave me some papers about the last one and I find for you an similar in the net.

I`ll send you the two pdf, nevertheless they are in german look at the pictures. In wlanprojekt.pdf the first two pictures shown on page 7 you will see the result..
Just the picture below shows one of the steps next after you mount a directional antenna on a tripod.
Why? Open the other pdf and look on the outputcharacteristic of that antenna on page three.
What is the trick on it? So the trick is it is directional!
So your choice of http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-shipping-2011-Latest-2-4GHz-18dBi-SMA-High-Gain-Dish-Directional-Antenna-for-WiFi-Wireless/373762221.html will work fine for this purpose on an tripod. You can turn it with the tripod an in/decline by itself. The next step, I told you before, is to measure signal strenght and link quality each heading and inclination (like they did with D-LinkAirPlus shown in the picture below the result pictures last pdf) and then you have to move your point of view with the tripod to do a crossbear!
In the second pdf you can also see a solution with a satellite reflector and something that looks like a "pringle role"
I hope I could help you...

Regards

P.S. how can I send attachment PDF larger than 128k?

Hi,

if you not fixed on open source, have you also had an eye on the lan security scanner from GFI.com?
Afaik, you can download a trial version..

Hi,

maybe I can help you...
Working in an institute for research and development of antennas and all other em-stuff I will ask my colleges about your ideas... Give me a little time to find out who is the best I can talk to..
If you like to take a little look.. www.imst.com

Hi,

OK, I`ve asked the guy and that is what he told me..
If you type in the PIN x-times wrong the iPhone will go into locked mode, but don`t worry. You can boot another iOS over the cable, reset the counter and then use a brute-force-tools to recover the PIN.
If you have activated the feature hardware encryption (3GS, 4 and up) then the phone will protect with AES the RAM and a special protected area (I do not have an iPhone so I don`t know exactly what does that means). It will destroy the AES keys and everything is gone when you type in the PIN x-times wrong. The same feature is used for a remote wipe, independent what you have configured..

I don't know german at all (regarding the video), but do you know at which iOS version Apple has started to do this?

I will contact this guy and ask for that...

Regards

I looked at the video and then I looked at your first posting again and I`am afraid but if your tried to "bruteforce" the pin for the GUI, then the device will have deleted the AES-decryption keys after X attempts and even for a forensic expert the data is lost...

Hello H1t M0nk3y,

how good is your german?
On the last IT-Security Exhibition in Nuernberg/Germany the CIO of ssys.de showed how to get into a locked iPad. Maybe this will give you an idea..
He also said that an iPhone works similiar...

Hi,

it depends on your personal situation!
You know "tempus fugit" and if you get home after a long day and you have to force yourself into it.... 30 days can be a short range.
30 hours if you enjoy yourself, you know that, let me "just do this little" looking onto your watch and six hours gone...

Regards

..and there is another thing you have to think about. Sometimes when programs gets changed, they do not through away everthing in the code, they modify, they add and they leave code unused. It is still in there but now it is undocumented.
Do you know/remember what happens if you place .LOG(CR/LF) in the first line of a txt-file and open it with notepad.exe? And where is that documented?
 ...and maybe you can use that!
Maybe old books are obsolete but they are cheap and sometime you find treasures you didn`t searched for..

Short answer: NO!
Somebody told me, compare a Pentest with small picture.
 A picture of a wall with a whole in it. You can see the hole, but what you don`t see is, did somebody used it, whats he doing inside and did he get outside the same way? And if it is a small picture are there some more holes you do not see on that picture.
