Blocking Big Brother + 3 years
From time-to-time over the years, people have asked what services are provided by the various Amazon network registrations.
The list of registrations in the (now 3 years old) BBB add-in: Spoiler:
That list above has not been updated since the PW-1 was new (three years ago). Since the Kindles only use IPv4 and the IPv4 assignments have been sold out since prior to that list being made - Changes to the owned address ranges should have been rare. It is probably past time that I re-check those and test for new ones. Maybe even figure out which blocks are used by what services. Don't anyone hold their breath on this - I don't promise a quick update (it requires some special hardware setup on my network). Note: The 411 report of the 5.6.x firmware series will list your OTA update status. There is a KUAL button for that, or the home screen, search bar, command version is: ;411 Yes, the semi-colon is part of the command. Last edited by knc1; 03-01-2016 at 11:18 AM. |

Is Wireshark, Wireshark without the Wireshark GUI?
Actually, yes.
Although to add confusion to the answer to the question, the GUI is named: "Wireshark" but it is just an eye-candy wrapper around an entire set of (command line) programs. Bright idea #1 - Build "Wireshark" without the GUI. (done) Now see if all the internals (tools) can be made to run on the Kindle from USB storage. A nice little 4 or 5 day project (if I'm lucky). Why? To do the packet capture on the Kindle itself, without external networking mess. Expected: To at least do the packet capture on the Kindle to a file that the (for-real) Wireshark application on a pc can crunch for us. Desired: To also do the packet crunching on the Kindle. It **should** be possible - the i.MX6 is a fairly powerful processor. Added advantage: The ppp (that is, the 3G) link can be monitored/captured/reported on also, not just the Wifi link. |

I'm not sure any of the network interfaces can be put into monitor mode, so better check that first

I do think that I read that someone had done this on a Kindle years ago. But it is a point - And the easiest way I can think of to test it, is to try running tshark. http://linux.die.net/man/1/tshark tshark (and the rest of the tools) is built - from the most recent wireshark release. but the build system put a bunch of useless garbage in the rpath of all the libraries and executables. I will have fun the next few days, patchelf'ing all the files. I also have the latest and greatest Midori built - but I have to do the same patchelf'ing that huge mess of inter-dependent libraries. |

Yeah, I have a vague memory of biting the dust on that front, but I can't remember for the life of me on which device that was.
Even more weird is the fact that I even have a memory of trying something like that, because networking is really not my game. Eh. |

Plus -
BitBucket has set our kual-system to 'un-owned, read-only' - https://bitbucket.org/twobob/kual-system I guess I had best clone it to another repo service where I can update it. |

Of course, once I had the first one done, I don't need any scripting to do the relocation if the first example doesn't work.  One application and 12 libraries to relocate as: Interpreter: /mnt/us/esys/lib/ld-linux.so.3 RPATH: $ORIGIN/../lib;$ORIGIN/../../lib Location: /mnt/us/esys/lib or /mnt/us/esys/usr/lib or /mnt/us/esys/usr/bin as appropriate. But doing it this way removes all dependencies on the Amazon installed system and libraries. Hmm... And if it uses any configuration files (I think it does) I'll need to move those to either /var/local/esys/etc or /mnt/us/esys/etc (depending on if sym-links are required). Note: The readme at the link above says: /mnt/us/extensions/system But that location changed after the repo became read-only to the shorter: /mnt/us/esys to deal with some limitations of patchelf. Edit: Nope that will not be the minimum. tshark requires the dumpcap application. Quote:
