Lilly and Fin: A Mermaid's Tale by Cornelia Funke
These mermaid friends are fishing for trouble!
Lilly and Fin are merpups--mermaid kids--who love to play and explore the caves outside the mermaid city. They aren't really supposed to leave the city, but that's what makes it so much fun! Surely all those stories about Two-Legs (you know, humans) and sea monsters are just made up to scare young merpups.
Little do they know that a real live human couple is on the hunt for a mermaid to add to their collection of rare sea creatures. If Two-Legs exist, what about sea monsters?
Great news for Dennis V.: you are the winner of this brand new book! It should arrive at your street address in the next few days.

Makenzie has had a great morning!!
She has never been able to roll from side to side with out some kind of help at her arm, hips, or head. I have noticed over the past week every day she has been doing a bit better! Today she woke up, I laid her on the floor and sat with her. I called for her to come and see me and ..... she did! No help. No stretching. No practice. She just rolled!!! WOW!!!
Is this stem cells? Who knows! I would say as it has been 2 years and no rolling.. yes!!! We still have 5 months until we hit the full wait and see period!!!
To the normal person this may not be a big deal.. I mean she isn't walking and talking right? Not to me!!! If stem cells gives her the ability to roll this means she has a way to get around! it is the start! The start to wanting to crawl and walk! It is HUGE!!!
Makenzie also had a GREAT night. For the first time since she got sick last Monday she didn't puke during the night or first thing in the morning! To top it off, we are finally back at her normal dose and rate on her feeding pump!!! She has also had regular BM for 3 days! I think we are finally done with that horrible stomach bug!!!
I have lots to do today! Therapy, hair cuts, more therapy, and a meeting late this afternoon! I hope today continues to be as amazing as this morning! I will let you know!!
Pray for miracles!!!

Former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn entered a guilty plea at a federal courthouse in D.C. on Friday to charges of lying to the FBI. He has agreed to cooperate with the government and is facing penalties of up to a $250,000 fine and 5 years in prison. He will not be jailed for the time being but will have to report weekly by phone.
Flynn admitted in his plea that Trump transition officials directed his contacts with Russian officials, per the AP, a development that could have far-reaching consequences as the Mueller probe moves forward.

It's always "open season" for squirrels on our property. It's fortunate that the state of Texas concurs – since that is where we live.
Forty years ago, when we moved to this house and property, MDH* decided to create a pecan forest. During the bone-chilling times and the sweltering summers, Richard was out nurturing, grafting and pruning his baby trees.
Where Do Squirrels Come From?
We live on the coastal plain close to Galveston; squirrels were missing from our environment — in the early days. Salt, sand and clay soils were hardly what these varmints want when scoping out new digs.
Richard will tell you that "tree rats" come from hell. Once his trees started to develop pecans, 24-hour-eating-machines took up residence in Richard's pecan orchard.
Your Eyes Do Not See
I know, you're looking at that cute chipmunk/squirrel/tree rat above and have decided that we are greedy monsters, unwilling to share our bounty with these little frisky imps.
Hah! These little vultures try to eat their weight in Richard's pecans. They do not understand the concept of "portion control." The photo above proves my point!
Tree Rats vs. The Dogs
Squirrels were moving into our trees at such a rapid rate that MDH decided serious action was needed. He called our three dogs (a Lab, a Chow and a Basset Hound) and promised a yummy meal for each squirrel they escorted to the next life.
The race was on! The squirrels started eating more nuts to keep up their strength to evade the dogs below. As the trees grew to full size, the tree rats started showing our dogs what great tree jumpers and gliders they could be!
True to his promise, Richard pulled out his pellet gun, after the dogs treed one of the fluffy tails, and helped the varmint to an early grave.
Everyone seemed happy … and then ….
Hurricane Ike
Last September 13, the hurricane came across our property and tore out the tops and centers of the pecan trees. In spite of the devastation, there was a silver lining — there was no longer a full canopy overhead!
Squirrels got the shock of their lives when they started to fly across to the next tree — and the branches were gone!
Unfortunately, they quickly adjusted to the new reality!
* MDH = My Deer Husband

"I can call a president of the United States anything in the book but I can't touch Israel, which has Jewish-only roads in the West Bank," Thomas said [during her remarks in Dearborn, Michigan]. "No American would tolerate that -- white-only roads."
Thomas, who grew up in Detroit the daughter of Lebanese immigrants, was in Dearborn today for an Arab Detroit workshop on anti-Arab bias. The Free Press asked her about her comments, which critics have said were anti-Israel.
"I paid the price for that," said Thomas, a longtime White House correspondent. "But it was worth it, to speak the truth."
"The Zionists have to understand that's their country, too. Palestinians were there long before any European Zionists."
Thomas claimed that "You can not say anything (critical) about Israel in this country."
In a speech that drew a standing ovation, Thomas talked about "the whole question of money involved in politics."
"We are owned by propagandists against the Arabs. There's no question about that. Congress, the White House, and Hollywood, Wall Street, are owned by the Zionists. No question in my opinion. They put their money where there mouth is…We're being pushed into a wrong direction in every way."
Reminder: This bigot occupied her own front-row seat in the White House briefing room for years.

About Rift
Released by Trion Worlds in early 2011, Rift takes place in the world of Telara where players take on the personality of an "Ascended." Two competing factions of Ascended, the Guardians and the Defiant, battle through the monsters of Telara in an effort to bring down Regulos, a dragon god bent on the complete destruction of Telara.
Rifts, or tears between various dimensions and Telara, are dynamic events that can open up quite suddenly. These events feature open grouping with players being able to join one another to defeat the creatures spewing forth from the rifts.
One of Rift's most compelling features is the Ascended Class System. Players begin by choosing one of four callings: Warrior, Mage, Rogue or Cleric. During the course of the game, players increase in strength and can "attune" their callings and mix and match "souls," or sub-classes, to become more specialized and flexible.

The Washington Times
William Galston and Elaine Kamarck, two of the keenest observers of American politics and the fortunes of their Democratic Party in it, were co-authors of a 1989 analysis and strategy paper that in certain respects paved the way for Bill Clinton's triumph in 1992 as a "New Democrat," a candidate set apart from the left-liberalism that had come to dominate the party and to which Mr. Galston and Miss Kamarck rose in opposition. The two have just released a new study and strategy paper, "The Politics of Polarization," that hopes to galvanize Democrats' fortunes once again by directing the party back toward the electoral center.
You will not find a more astute political analysis. Unfortunately for Democrats, knowledge is not virtue, and a clear-eyed view of the political problem at hand, while a prerequisite for a solution, only begins the hard working of crafting a workable approach to the party's national problem of powerlessness.
Let's start with the basics: There are more voters in the United States today who call themselves "conservative" than call themselves "liberal," 34 to 21 percent, according to 2004 exit polls, figures that have held remarkably constant over time. To the extent that each party, in what the authors call "the great sorting-out" that has taken place over the past couple decades, have essentially become the sole home to one or the other of these two proclivities, the Republicans start out with an advantage: It is a shorter distance for them from the baseline outlook of the party to a winning percentage at the polls.
That leads us to "the myth of mobilization," the idea that by devoting their time and resources to catering to and turning out the party base, Democrats can fight their way back to victory. Such an approach will fail in the absence of an effective appeal to the center (an appeal the authors rightly understand the Bush-Cheney campaign made in 2004).
That's only one of the "dominant myths … preventing Democrats from asking tough questions and making hard choices." Mr. Galston and Miss Kamarck point as well to the "myth of demography," according to which population shifts will inevitably return Democrats to power. The authors think this is not likely in the absence of more substantive change, and in any case will happen no time soon.
They also cite the "myth of language," according to which Democrats need merely to find better ways to talk about what they believe in – to envelop their policy preferences in a more compelling narrative. As the two see it, the problem is the substantive package Democrats present and unfavorable associations voters have made with Democratic candidates.
And they offer as a shorthand formulation the "myth of prescription drugs": the party's tendency to try to push to the side national security issues and cultural issues, on which Democrats' standing with voters is weaker, in favor of domestic policy issues on which the party is stronger. Here, the problem is that Democrats' de-emphasizing these issues does not make them go away for voters or reassure voters that Democrats pass muster on them.
The authors' analysis of changes in voting behavior point to two key groups among which Republicans have made gains: married women and Catholics, both of whom used to be much more favorably disposed toward the Democratic Party. Here, in particular, the national security and cultural issues rear up. Democrats have yet to overcome the Cold War-era deficit they acquired on national security, nor is the issue likely to recede in public consciousness again as it did in the 1990s, enabling Bill Clinton to get around it.
Democrats are also too prone to view cultural issues and moral values through the prism of the hot-button social issues, from abortion to gay marriage to end-of-life decisions. Democrats like to think that Republicans are intolerant in trying to impose their views on such matters, but they miss seeing their own intolerance.
Moreover, no less important than "issues" are the character traits people associate with candidates. The authors say voters ask three main questions about candidates apart from where they stand on the issues: Is "the candidate a person of strength? … of integrity? … of empathy?" For the first category, at issue is the matter of core conviction and the ability to persist through challenges and adversity. For the second, it's a sense of straight-shooting and the consistency of words and deeds. For the third, it's the sense of the candidate as someone like you, not aloof from you.
The recommendations follow accordingly: The party needs a candidate with real credibility on national security, whose convictions on social issues are accompanied by a spirit of tolerance, and who embodies those big-three characteristics of strength, integrity and empathy.
The problem for Democrats is that the man who best fills this bill is Sen. John McCain. And he's a Republican who, notwithstanding his maverick reputation, still has a better shot at winning his party's nomination than his Democratic doppelganger, if indeed there is such a one, has of winning the Democratic nomination.

BOOK - Tracing Your [English} Ancestors from 1066 to 1837
By Dr Jonathan Oates
Published by Pen and Sword, South Yorkshire, 2012
The trail that an ancestor leaves through the Victorian period and the twentieth century is relatively easy to follow – the records are plentiful, accessible and commonly used. But how do you go back further, into the centuries before the central registration of births, marriages and deaths was introduced in 1837, before the first detailed census records of 1841? How can you trace a family line back through the early modern period and perhaps into the Middle Ages? Jonathan Oates's clearly written new handbook gives you all the background knowledge you need in order to go into this engrossing area of family history research.
He starts by describing the administrative, religious and social structures in the medieval and early modern period and shows how these relate to the family historian. Then in a sequence of accessible chapters he describes the variety of sources the researcher can turn to. Church and parish records, the records of the professions and the courts, manorial and property records, tax records, early censuses, lists of loyalty, militia lists, charity records – all these can be consulted. He even includes a short guide to the best methods of reading medieval and early modern script.
Jonathan Oates's handbook is an essential introduction for anyone who is keen to take their family history research back into the more distant past.

WASHINGTON Prime Minister Gordon Brown of Britain urged American leaders on Wednesday to "seize the moment," in tandem with their European allies, to confront the global economic crisis and prepare for a future that brings "the biggest expansion of middle-class incomes and jobs the world has ever seen."
Speaking to a joint session of Congress, Mr. Brown called for a clear rejection of protectionist tendencies as the world struggles to recover.
The address came a day after President Obama assured Mr. Brown that the "special relationship" between the countries was as strong as ever, despite what some people have described as coolness in the handling of the prime minister's visit.
Lawmakers gave the prime minister a warm welcome, interrupting his 45-minute speech at least a dozen times with standing ovations. One of those came after he announced that Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, who has brain cancer, had been granted an honorary knighthood.
Echoing a point that Mr. Obama has begun to make, Mr. Brown argued that a big part of the solution to the financial crisis lay in having confidence that it could be solved. He called for concerted global work to stimulate national economies, bolster banks and improve their oversight, along with efforts to help developing countries endure the downturn.
"While today people are anxious and feel insecure, over the next two decades our world economy will double in size," Mr. Brown said. "Twice as many opportunities for business, twice as much prosperity and the biggest expansion of middle-class incomes and jobs the world has ever seen."
He said that the United States would find a rare receptiveness to its efforts to move forward. "Let me say that you now have the most pro-American European leadership in living memory," Mr. Brown said.
He vowed to continue cooperating closely to fight terrorism, to induce Iran to suspend its nuclear program and to curtail global warming. And he paid tribute to the soldiers of both countries who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Mr. Brown, who was chancellor of the Exchequer, or finance minister, in the Labor Party government of Tony Blair, has been calling for a "global New Deal," with every country working to end the recession. He has urged greater accountability and transparency, and stricter oversight, for banking and other financial institutions.

How configuration is done
The La Fonera is a locked down system: Configuration is usually not done on the real device, but instead it retrieves its setup data from the FON server. So to configure your network parameters like public and private ESSID or WPA passphrase, you log in to your FON account and change the settings on their website. During boot the boot sequence, the La Fonera then contacts the FON server and retrieves its network configuration. However, a web interface on the router to configure the device does exist as well.
FON also made it impossible to flash a new firmware, since the firmware binaries are signed: Firmware files not carrying the corrects signature are rejected by the system. Although FON has released the source code to the software running on the router, they are not forced to release the key necessary to run the software on their device. This is fine with GPLv2, and one of the main aspects that concern GPL version 3.
So exchanging the firmware is out of option, since there is no way of uploading a working firmware image without posession of the correct cryptographic key: This has also been an issue with the TiVo digital video recorder.
Taking a look at the configuration retrieval
During startup (and on a regular basis), the La Fonera "phones home" to check whether configuration data has been changed. This is done using an SSH connection to
download.fon.com on port 1937. You can check for yourself:
stefan@nano:~$ telnet download.fon.com 1937 Trying 220.127.116.11... Connected to download.fon.com. Escape character is '^]'. SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 Debian-8.sarge.4
Your router then proceeds to send some information identifying itself, including its MAC addresses and software versions:
mode='start' wlmac='WIRELESS MAC' mac='LAN MAC' fonrev='4' firmware='0.7.0' chillver='1.0' thclver='1.0' device='fonera'
In return, FON sends some shell code, including instructions how to configure the wireless devices (WPA passphrase, ESSIDs).
SSH is an excellent choice from FON's point of view, since it is relatively easy to deploy in a noninteractive context, and provides an elegant way of avoiding spoofing: For the key of
download.fon.com is stored on the router, we cannot simply proclaim to be that host it tries to contact and supply our router with our own shell commands.
Authentication is done using a secret key stored on every router and inside the source. However, the Dropbear SSH client is required to use it, OpenSSH demands a password for reasons unknown, while Dropbear does not. Using
dbclient it is quite easy to establish a connection with the FON server and retrieve configuration data for our La Fonera:
echo "mode='start' wlmac='' mac='' fonrev='4' firmware='0.7.0' chillver='1.0' thclver='1.0' device='fonera'" | dbclient -T -i key -p 1937 firstname.lastname@example.com
There is no reply, since we left both MAC adresses empty. If we'd use the addresses of an actual La Fonera, we probably would just get this:
rm -f /tmp/.thinclient.sh exit
The file
/tmp/.thinclient.sh is the location the output is stored and executed afterwards by the update script. So since FON decided that there is nothing to do, the script removes itself and exits.
If you changed some values in your FON web interface prior to retrieving the data, things will look different: If you change your ESSID, the commands for doing so are transmitted to your router by a bunch of shell commands:
# begin # setssidprivate awk -v cfgfile="/etc/config/fon" -v "updatestr=private.essid=YOURPRIVATEESSID" -f /usr/lib/webif/uci-update.awk -f - > /etc/config/fon.new <<EOF BEGIN { cfg = read_file(cfgfile) print update_config(cfg, updatestr) } EOF if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then mv /etc/config/fon.new /etc/config/fon ifup lan else rm /etc/config/fon.new fi # end # set ssid fonera # begin # set ssid fonera awk -v cfgfile="/etc/config/fon" -v "updatestr=public.essid=YOURPUBLICESSID" -f /usr/lib/webif/uci-update.awk -f - > /etc/config/fon.new <<EOF BEGIN { cfg = read_file(cfgfile) print update_config(cfg, updatestr) } EOF if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then mv /etc/config/fon.new /etc/config/fon iwconfig ath0 essid FON_'YOURPUBLICESSID' else rm /etc/config/fon.new fi # end # set ssid fonera rm -f /tmp/.thinclient.sh exit
Similar code is transferred for changing the WPA passphrase.
How code can be injected
As you can see, FON did take some precautions to prevent people injecting code: Parameters are enclosed in single quotes to avoid substitutions of any kind. The entering of strange characters is prohibited by the web interface, and even if you manage to get a single quote character into your ESSID, it will be "defused" by prepending a backslash to it.
The kind of injection attack we are trying to do is quite similar to SQL injections: Our aim is to place data into the system that ends the running command (e.g. the
iwconfig call) and then starts a new command.
iwconfig ath0 essid FON_'YOURPUBLICESSID'
To use this line as an entry point, we have to substitute
YOURPUBLICESSID with something that ends the parameter environment for
iwconfig: For single quoted strings, the only character capable of doing so is
', a "closing" single quotation mark. Even a newline character is unable to end the current command line and will be treated as a parameter for
Unfortunately, FON simply replaces any
' with the string
\' to avoid such injections. Adding a backslash to a character with special meaning removes its special abilities, so the danger of letting an intruder in is averted.
But wait, is it? I was quite surprised when I consulted the bash manual page:
Enclosing characters in single quotes preserves the literal value of each character within the quotes. A single quote may not occur between single quotes, even when preceded by a backslash.
So a single quote always closes a string surrounded by single quotes, whether it is prepended by a backslash or not. You can check for yourself by executing this little command in your shell:
stefan@nano:~$ echo 'foo\'bar' >
Instead of printing
foo\'bar, bash still waits for a fourth quotation mark, since the quoted string opened by the
' at the end is not closed.
WWW::Mechanize that allows a script to walk a website just like a normal user would do: using this script, it was indeed possible to put arbitrary commands into the script retrieved from the FON server.
We then used this open window to open up port 22 and launch the dropbear SSH server, providing us with full shell access to the router.
Climbing through the window and opening the front door
The result of our experiments is a Perl script called
shellfon.pl: It takes your email address and your FON password from the command line, and reads shell commands to be executed on the router from standard input. It then logs into FON, places the manipulated SSID. All you have to do then is to reboot your La Fonera.
To start and open up SSH you will need the following command line, which will open the firewall on port 22 and launch dropbear:
echo -e '/usr/sbin/iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT\n/etc/init.d/dropbear' | perl shellfon.pl email password
After that, follow the guide on this site to permanently enable shell access. Don't forget to take a look at the web interface again to set your SSID to something meaningful again.
Preventing FON from executing code on your box
As I already pointed out, La Fonera receives instructions from FON through the SSH link. This is done by the script
[...] . /tmp/.thinclient.sh
If you want to prevent La Fonera from executing that received code, you might want to change the final lines to
### Don't execute code from FON # . /tmp/.thinclient.sh
Since there might be useful bugfixes from time to time, you could also copy or move the sent script somewhere else for later approval:
cp /tmp/.thinclient.sh /tmp/thinclient-$(date '+%Y%m%d-%H%M')
This way, you can check them from time to time to see what FON is up to.
Something more advanced
If you'd like to keep track of FON updates without filling your box with count- und useless thinclient scripts, try this shell script fragment:
#. /tmp/.thinclient.sh TCDIR="/etc/thinclient-scripts/" LASTFILE="$(ls $TCDIR | sort -n | tail -n1)" COPY=0 if [ -z "$LASTFILE" ]; then COPY=1 else LASTCS="$(md5sum $TCDIR/$LASTFILE | cut -d\ -f1)" NEWCS="$(md5sum /tmp/.thinclient.sh | cut -d\ -f1)" echo "$LASTCS $NEWCS" if [ "$LASTCS" != "$NEWCS" ]; then COPY=1 else echo "Already seen this file." fi fi if [ "$COPY" -eq 1 ]; then NEWFILE="$TCDIR/thinclient-$(date '+%Y%m%d-%H%M')" echo "Copying new instruction set to $NEWFILE" cp /tmp/.thinclient.sh $NEWFILE else echo "Nothing new here." fi
This code checks whether the reply from the server is new or already known, and stores new instructions in /etc/thinclient-scripts/ - a directory you should create.
Local code injection
Since it was obvious to us that FON would close the web interface bug quite fast, we tried to locate other methods of code injection prior to publishing our first hack: Identifying exploitable holes in the local webinterface of the router was considered vital to our goal of keeping La Fonera an open system.
Local code injection I:
The result of our efforts is the script
grammofon.pl which exploits a shortcoming in the firmware verison 0.7.0-4: This is the version the current La Fonera devices are delivered with, so if you unpack your La Fonera with the intention of hacking it, the following procedure will work:
- Connect the router directly to the ethernet interface of your computer; It does not matter whether you use a crossover cable or not, since the device will adapt to the cable
- Power up the device and give it some time to boot
- Without real network connectivity, the router will use the link local address 169.254.255.1
- Configure the network interface of your computer to that network:
ip addr add 169.254.255.2/16 dev eth0
- You should now be able to ping the router through its link local address
- Once you made sure that the device is reachable, use the script
grammofon.plto deliver the commands needed to enable SSH access (
adminis the default password used by the fonera software):
echo -n '/usr/sbin/iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT' | perl grammofon.pl 169.254.255.1 admin echo -n '/etc/init.d/dropbear' | perl grammofon.pl 169.254.255.1 admin
Because of some limitations of the exploited formular field, we have to send each command on its own (newline characters as well as the semicolon inside the command will break the hack); And since not much text is allowed in that specific field,
grammofon.pl sends the command in several chunks, constructs a temporary shell script from it which then is executed on the device. Quite tricky :-)
Once the router is connected to the Internet, it will upgrade its firmware to version 0.7.1-1, rendering this exploit useless. You can however, since the upgrade procedure is just a hotfix, reset the device to its delivery state - reenabling the grammofon method.
Local code injection II:
Several holes have been closed with the latest firmware upgrades, but with the latest version (0.7.1-1) a new page in the configuration interface was introduced which - of course - is again prone to code injection.
Michael and I again created a perl script to exploit this flaw and open the router, just like our famous
shellfon.pl used to, but this time, no communication with the FON server is necessary, just connect the script directly to the router and execute it.
We christened the script
fondue.pl, since the time for completely opening the router software is due, and because using the name of a dish consisting of molten cheese getting picked with long forks is quite funny. Now laugh.
To open your router, simply run the following command:
echo -e '/usr/sbin/iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT\n/etc/init.d/dropbear' | perl fondue.pl ipaddress password
With the latest update to 0.7.1-2 on the third of january, FON has also closed this loophole. However, I saved an image of the 0.7.1-1 firmware, although this image cannot be flashed on La Fonera device through the web interface in order to exploit this flaw, since it does a version check upon installation. However, if your La Fonera was shipped with a firmware version lower than 0.7.1-2, you can use the reset button to restore this original version and use one of the above hacks to gain access.
Kolofonium: A hack for 0.7.1-2
As I pointed out, FON closed most vulnerabilities in the web interface with firmware 0.7.1-2. Michael an I however could identify another flaw in the design of La Fonera that makes SSH access even easier for you. On our side, this was the most complex hack of all, but we did some testing and are about to release it. We kept you waiting for some time now, because we wanted to wait until 0.7.1-2 is really shipping preinstalled on most routers; earlier devices can be reset without trouble and afterwards put through the
fondue or
grammofon process.
The new hack does not utilize the web interface for its command injection. Since the FON developers did their homework this time while developing 0.7.1-2, I had to find a different way to start the SSH daemon. During my investigation, I tried to find a loop hole in the automatic configuration retrieval method, but since La Fonera is using a link secured by SSH to retrieve its data, this was doomed to failure.
Hey, what's that?
However I noticed that the SSH link to
download.fon.com is not the only source of configuration data. During the boot procedure, the init script
/etc/init.d/N50chillispot is executed. This script then starts the chillispot daemon responsible for providing the public wifi signal. However, there is something interesting about the script:
[...] TMP_C=/tmp/chilli.conf ETC_C=/etc/chilli.conf PID_F=/var/run/chilli.pid PID_LOOP_F=/var/run/chilli_loop.pid LOG_LOOP_F=/var/log/chilli_loop.log WANIP="$(ifconfig "$wan_ifname" | grep inet | awk -F'[: ]+' '{print $4}')" MAC=$(ifconfig wifi0 | head -n1 | awk '{print $5}'|sed s/:/-/g) MAC=${MAC:-fon} LOOP=true DELAY=86400 SECONDS=0 DELAY2=10 SECONDS2=0 RADIUSSERVER=radius01.fon.com RADIUSSECRET=garrafon RADIUSADMUSR=chillispot RADIUSADMPWD=chillispot [...] radconfig() { /usr/sbin/chilli_radconfig \ -c /dev/null \ --radiusserver1="$RADIUSSERVER" \ --radiussecret="$RADIUSSECRET" \ --adminuser="$RADIUSADMUSR" \ --adminpasswd="$RADIUSADMPWD" \ --radiusnasid="$MAC" \ --dhcpif $wifi_ifname \ > $TMP_C [ -n "$(cat $TMP_C)" ] && { MD5SUM_TMP=$(md5sum $TMP_C | awk '{ print $1 }') MD5SUM_ETC=$(md5sum $ETC_C | awk '{ print $1 }') if [ ! "$MD5SUM_TMP" = "$MD5SUM_ETC" ]; then rm $ETC_C mv $TMP_C $ETC_C circular_log $LOG_LOOP_F "RELOAD" do_reload else circular_log $LOG_LOOP_F "NO RELOAD" fi return 0 } circular_log $LOG_LOOP_F "NO RELOAD" }
The program
/usr/sbin/chilli_radconfig is actually used to download the chillispot config from FON. It is retrieved from the FON radius server, who by the same method notices the activation of a FON node and creates a unique ID: This is the strange random string in your
uamserver directive inside
/etc/chilli.conf. By using that number as the redirection target for your foneros, the FON servers can safely relate them to your specific access point. The unique string however cannot be compared to the unique MAC address, although the MAC address might play a role in its generation (See the
radiusnasid parameter in the
chilli_radconfig call). It indeed changes on every boot and i generated by the remote server.
As you can see, the retrieved coniguration is written to a temporary file and, should it differ from the present configuration, moved to its correct position. Afterwards, the chillispot daemon is reloaded.
How to exploit it
While FON took some precautions to secure the better known configuration link through the use of SSH encryption and authentication, they somehow forgot to do the same to their radius login. Indeed the configuration is contained in some vendor specific attributes carried by the RADIUS reply - unencrypted. To exploit this flaw, a custom RADIUS server has to be set up that allows logins from La Fonera devices and supplies them with manipulated attributes. On the other side, the to be hacked La Fonera has to contact this spoofed server instead of the official one.
The second aspect is easy to achieve: When
chilli_radconf tries to contact
radius01.fon.com, the process is prone to DNS spoofing: you can just setup a small DNS server that resolves
radius01.fon.com to another IP adress, where your modified RADIUS server is just waiting for your device to request some configuration advice. This is made easy by the fact that you can specify your own DNS server through the La Fonera web interface.
Setting up a fake RADIUS server
To spoof the FON RADIUS server, I chose XTRadius since it was easy to install on my Debian system and claimed to be customizable by shell or perl scripts. This however proved to be more difficult than I thought.
At first, I added the IP address of my La Fonera to the file
192.168.10.1 garrafon
The encryption key
garrafon is identical on all La Fonera devices, so you don't have to guess.
To ship configuration data through the RADIUS communication, the RADIUS server must know the unique IDs used by them; This can be achieved by adding a file
/etc/raddb/dictionary.fon to your XTRadius configuration:
VENDOR Fon 14559 ATTRIBUTE CHILLICONF 6 string Fon
With that preconfiguration done, we can now add a user to our RADIUS server. Just add the following lines to the file
chillispot Auth-Type = External Exec-Program-Wait = "/etc/raddb/fonera.sh", CHILLICONF = "radiusserver1 radius01.fon.com", CHILLICONF = "radiusserver2 radius02.fon.com", CHILLICONF = "radiussecret garrafon", CHILLICONF = "dhcpif eth1", CHILLICONF = "uamsecret garrafon", CHILLICONF = "uamanydns", CHILLICONF = "uamallowed www.martinvarsavsky.net,www.google.com,www.flickr.com,static.flickr.com,video.google.com,126.96.36.199/24,188.8.131.52/24", CHILLICONF = "uamallowed www.fon.com,www.paypal.com,www.paypalobjects.com,www.skype.com,184.108.40.206/24,126.96.36.199/24,126.96.36.199/24,22.214.171.124/24,126.96.36.199/24,18.104.22.168/24", CHILLICONF = "uamallowed shop.fon.co.kr,secure.nuguya.com,inilite.inicis.com,fon-en.custhelp.com,maps.fon.com,c20.statcounter.com", CHILLICONF = "uamserver https://login.fon.com/cp/index.php", CHILLICONF = "# Greetings from Michael and Stefan", CHILLICONF = "# http://mrmuh.blogspot.com/ & http://stefans.datenbruch.de/lafonera/", CHILLICONF = "uamallowed stefans.datenbruch.de", CHILLICONF = "ipup /etc/init.d/dropbear", Fall-Through = 0
This simply adds a user
chillispot, whose authentication data is alway accepted. With the acknowledgement of the successfull login, the user is supplied with various custom attributes, consisting of configuration lines. The key aspect is the line containing
ipup /etc/init.d/dropbear: This instructs chillispot to launch the Dropbear SSH daemon once the public wifi interface has been created.
The original idea was to supply the configuration parameters through the script specified by
Exec-Program-Wait: Altough that should be possible by printing to the standard output, the parser inside XTRadius cannot handle the spaces present in the configuration strings - thats why I reverted to a static configuration. The script
/etc/raddb/fonera.sh is just a mostly empty shellscript that does nothing more than
exit 0 to indicate XTRadius that the user information has been accepted.
Some enhancements
As seen above, each client willing to connect to the RADIUS daemon must be specified in
/etc/raddb/clients. While this is fine for most real uses of RADIUS, it is quite annoying for the thing we are aiming at with this hack. Although lacking any knowledge of C, I tried to create a patch to XTRadius that made it possible to specify a wildcard (*) in the clients file. I succeeded, but it sure is ugly and might crash without warning.
Hard for us, easy for you
This whole procedure sounds quite complicated, and it quite was compared to our earlier hacks. But the good news is that you won't have to do the same things again: If you want to gain access to your La Fonera, simply set the DNS server of your La Fonera to the IP address
188.8.131.52, belonging to the host
kolofonium.datenbruch.de. I did setup a small DNS service there that redirects requests to
radius01.fon.com to a fake RADIUS server that will supply your router with the configuration data needed to enable SSH access.
The Kolofonium server address has changed! You can retrieve the correct address by resolving the hostname "kolofonium.datenbruch.de", e.g. by issueing a ping request. The hostname will always point to the right IP address you can use as fake DNS server.
Once you reboot your device, the SSH daemon should be started automatically. You can access the service through the internal WLAN, otherwise the packet filter will prevent the access to it.
After you enabled SSH permanently, don't forget to reset the DNS configuration - and don't forget to have fun with your new open device as well.
So far, 0 fonera devices have been freed by kolofonium (See chart). For this statistic, the mac and ip address of every fonera using the kolofonium service is written to a logfile.

Rachel & Carolyn Wedding
" I like people who smile when it rains." And what a rainy day it was! These two fabulous women tied the knot the week before on the east coast and then headed back to Port Washington to celebrate with more friends and family from the area. We had this wonderful thought of taking photos through downtown Port Washington before the party and about an hour before we were supposed to meet...down pouring rain! This did not stop the two of them! I scooped up some umbrellas on my way to meet them and still snagged a few great photos outside! The rain did not stop their smiles or the love from shinning through in every photo.
Many thanks to the both of you for allowing me to be apart of your special day! I wish nothing but many years of happiness to the both of you!
Stay Fine my Feathered Friends <3

The current legal system in New Hampshire strips community members of the power to adopt laws to protect their health, safety, and welfare. The system makes it perfectly legal, for commercial and industrial projects that residents consider to be dangerous, to operate in neighborhoods, despite community opposition. For-profit corporations engaging in activities like industrial wind, water mining, gravel extraction, the application of sewage sludge to farmland, large scale hydro-power projects like the Northern Pass, and building infrastructure for transporting shale gas, are all supported by State regulations that legalize harms to the community.
People who are involved with the New Hampshire Community Rights Network (NHCRN) have recognized this system as illegitimate. The work of the NHCRN is to assert fundamental rights and drive constitutional changes that liberate local community self-government from such systemic constraints.
It was during the 2016 New Hampshire Legislative Session that for the first time in the U.S., a legislative committee heard testimony on a proposed Community Rights Amendment. Presently, our state legislative framework is being used to favor corporate privilege and deny Community Rights. Oppressive control of this framework by commercial and property interests, subordinates the rights of community members and subjects our communities to harm.
Until the state liberates local law-making to prevent our communities from being used as mere resource colonies of the state, we will continue to fight every battle in a vacuum, while being denied the authority we believe we have, subject to a corporate-driven agenda.
The goal of the NH Community Rights Amendment is to provide state-level change that empowers communities with the authority to expand civil and political rights for individuals and communities, recognize the rights of nature, and elevate those rights above the "rights" currently claimed by corporations and other business entities.

Our Magic Within
Over the years I receive numerous questions from people asking about what "magic spells" to cast to achieve certain results, what crystals or herbs to purchase, what "esoteric groups" to join and even what rituals to perform.
My answer is simple - none of these.
Now I realise that this is not the answer you expected or would have liked to have heard in view of the vast amount of information available, but before doing anything at all that is likely to influence your experience and in particular Spiritual evolution in any way, it is important to understand exactly why this is.
The first thing we must realise is that, as with religion for example, all of the examples mentioned above are the ideas of other people or usually groups of people, often for there own purposes, and therefore as soon as you start to practice any of these ideas you are submitting to the ideas, and sometimes the will of others.
Many people are interested in "magic" in the belief that there is something inherently powerful about uttering "spells" or performing "rituals", for example that have some sort of special or "magical" powers in and of themselves that the Universe will respond to.
Others are interested in joining "secret societies", "esoteric orders" or even "mystery schools" in the belief that by doing so and being awarded "ranks" or "degrees" they will "advance" and thereby gain a special position in the Universe, especially after passing on. Again, this is really no different to subscribing to a religion which teaches the same things but in a different way.
Now let me make it absolutely clear that I have nothing whatsoever against ony of the aforementioned groups in principle. There is no question that being a member of suc groups, depending on which ones of course, can be beneficial in a number of ways providing they are regarded in the appropriate and healthy context, and not regarded as an automatic ticket to greater things, as so of often implied by some elitist orders. There is much of value that can be learned providing it is kept in a proper perspective.
Unfortunately, however well meaning they might be, many of these groups, even the most well known or revered ones can and often do have the opposite effect. As soon as people are placed in a competitive situation where "ranks" are granted based upon the criteria set by others, Ego takes over, often leading to anything from delusions of grandeur and feelings of superiority over others, to bitterness and resentment if a person does not "advance through the ranks" as expected. Many an "orders" or "society" has broken up in acrimony due to these situations, leaving the members often bitter and disillusioned, after some members have been favoured over others due to individual relationships and other erroneous factors that have nothing at all to do with true progress.
Again let me stress that this by no means applies to all such "orders", societies" or "schools" some of which are very ancient, and noble and can teach valuable knowledge and abilities. Such groups are however very few and far between, and most people will not even be aware of their existence - they are usually not the sort of groups you can simply apply to join by completing a membership form.
So the question becomes this - what motivates people to wish to join groups formed by others, whether it be esoteric orders or religions or other groups of which there are many and varied, or to want to perform "spells", "rituals" or other such practices?
In almost all cases such people are looking outside of themselves to people or actions that can provide something that they perceive as advantageous in some way. In the case of religion for example it might be a "ticket to heaven" upon passing on, or at least avoiding eternal torment "hell" or other such punishments meted to "sinful" people and "non-believers"
In the case of many "esoteric orders" the member is led to believe that they will gain some sort of Spiritual advancement and high position after their passing, as well as to wield all sort so impressive abilities in physical life.
Again it should be pointed out that we can all gain such abilities by learning to influence Energy effectively, but those, in and of themselves are not particularly meaningful in terms of Spiritual advancement.
People are motivated to perform "spells" and "rituals" or to use crystal, herbs and other materials in the belief that in and of themselves they have special powers to bring about a special result.
Another effect on the very presence of all of these groups and practices is that people who do not participate in or practice them are often made to feel "inferior" in some way.
So now let us take a look at the reality of these factors:
There is only one fundamental Principle in the Universe - Mind.
Everything that we experience is ultimately due to Mind alone.
It follows therefore that the only way in which to achieve anything through Mind - everything else being subordinate to the Mind Principle.
Uttering spells, performing rituals, belonging to groups of various types will not therefore, in and of themselves confer any special powers or privileges on the participant whatsoever. No spell, ritual or group including but not limited to orders, schools or religions has any sort of advantage, priority or special place in the Universe of any type.
Likewise there absolutely no shortcuts to Spiritual evolution - each and every person must evolve based entirely upon their own efforts based upon their specific needs and what their current incarnation of Higher Self needs to achieve this time around.
The act of joining a church, order or other group and following their ideas and doctrines will never confer any special privilege, or provide any special advantage in physical life or beyond, except to the extent that such groups teach the person the sources of true power and how to access and apply them.
Also, joining any such group immediately places the participant on a path determined by the group, which does not take in to account the true path of the member, so the member is often "led astray".
To the extent that spells and rituals do work, they do so because they are invoking Mind Principle in some way, often without the participant knowing or even understanding why.
The reason is the same in all cases - the actions of the person are impressing their desires upon the Subconscious Mind, which then brings the desire into the physical experience of the person either directly, in the case of healing, or through Universal Mind in the case of everything else.
The truth is this - ever single one of us has the power within to achieve anything we could wish for without limitation, including all we need for Spiritual evolution and thereby fulfil the true reason we are here. God never intended us to have to join a special group or perform special words or actions in order to be favoured in some way or indeed to conform to the expectations of others.
We are all, without exception absolutely equal expressions of The Source, The First Cause, of God, through which God experiences and thereby expands. We are God, and through our God powers we have the unlimited ability to achieve anything providing only that we realise God within and understand how to apply those powers. Such a person has no need for groups, spells, rituals or any other such instrument or idea, because they know, beyond any doubt that the all the power they could possibly need is already within them. We have unlimited access to the infinite power of the Universal Mind through our Subconscious Mind.
This is true Magic. Our True Magic is within.
Many people might not accept this believing it is "too good to be true", or that, due to a lifetime of programming, they need to "work" for everything, or at least push things around in the outer, physical world in order to realise their desires. In fact in many cases this approach can and does only result in one thing - misery due to a disconnection from the true Source of abundance - God within.
Everyone should realise this - God is perfection, and would therefore never, ever, ever create wants, needs or desires in God's children that cannot be fulfilled through God. To do so would be like offering your child a candy, and then snatching it from his or her grasp just as she reaches for it. No loving parent would ever do that, and, our parent, God, is the epitome of Unconditional Love.
Plain and simple, whatever a person does not have that they desire, they do not have for one reason and one reason only - at some level they do not believe they can have it. If they did believe, backed by faith that the object of the desire was theirs, then so it would be.
This does not only apply to material things. Schools, colleges and Universities are an anomaly. Through our Subconscious Mind we have access to all of the information in the Universe, past present and probable future as relates to Earth time, and the ability to do anything at all for the asking, including most things not even conceived of by humans yet. There is not a scientific formula or mathematical equation could not be resolved, even by a 5 year old in moments.
Many people have heard for example of a "savant", a person who is regarded as "mentally retarded" but can perform seemingly stunning feats of memory, mathematical equations and other abilities, often faster than a computer or the greatest scientists in the world.
The fact is - savants are not "retarded" everyone else is "retarded" by comparison, because every single one of us has the exactly the same potential.
The reason a savant can do these feats is quite simply, because, due to an anomaly of the physical brain and the way it is "wired", they are not focused on the material part of the brain in the same way as most people are, and therefore have a much greater access to their Subconscious Mind and therefore Universal Mind which they instinctively use as if it is normal - it should be "normal" for everyone. If correct use of Mind was taught to children from an early age, there would be no "education" and the world would be a very different place - not one based upon "work" and "money".
In order to have access to these and any other ability, and be, do or have anything, all we need to do is realise God within, and thereby become an open, conscious channel of experience, expansion and abundance for and of God, The Source. Once we realise our true Source of power, we realise our Magic within and we become true conscious creators as realised God people.
One of the most sacred objectives of any human being, and the one which heralds the end of the cycle of incarnations on Earth, is to become God-realised while still in a physical body, as with for example the person known as Jesus, and many others before and after him, people often regarded as "Masters" or "Ascended Masters".
Jesus taught these important Principles time and again:
"Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel". -- John 5:19-20
Here Jesus is saying that he, metaphorically meaning all of us, can do nothing in and of himself. He, as Jesus the physical person has no inherent abilities by virtue of who he is. He goes on to say that God "does things" through Jesus, in other words Jesus is a channel of experience and expression for God because God loves his Son as he does all of his children, in other words all of us.
Plain and simple this means that as Unconditionally Loved children of God, we can have anything at all we through God.
"Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it." -- John 14:10-14
Here Jesus sets out this truth unamiguously when he states the truth that "the father that dwelleth within me, he doeth the works".
We must always keep in mind that when he says "me" he means everyone as an equal and inseparable aspect of God.
Jesus goes on to say that we must believe that God is within us, because this realisation is the true Source of our power. Anyone not realising God within will not realise their God powers within. This is the true meaning of "faith" - Faith in Who we Are and of our God-given "powers", and an absolute Belief in our true reality and powers. He also says that we must "go to the Father" which means we must "realise God, The Source within". We can do nothing in and of ourselves without that connection with God.
When Jesus says "Father may be glorified in the Son" he speaks the powerful truth that we as the children of God are those through Who God experiences, and expands, and thereby becoming "glorified".
It is a powerful truth that the extent to which we can realise our full potential and abilities, including the abilities to perform what most would regard as "miracles", is the same extent to which we can realise God within. Jesus was completely "God-realised" and this and this alone was The Source of his power and of his "miracles" as he says himself over and over when he states the truth that "the Father within Him, He Doeth the works".
The "Father", God, The Source, Universal Mind within all of us doeth our works.
And Jesus goes on to state an even bigger truth that we shall go on to do even greater things than him because we are unlimited, infinite and immortal aspects of "the Father", God.
I should mention that God is neither or both male and female, and references to "Father and Son" are metaphoric, and equally apply to "Mother and Daughter".
In another passage:
"Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
-- 1 Corinthians 12:4-12
This is a very powerful passage which, in its entirety states on fundamental truth:
There is only one Source of All that Is, Who operates through each and every one of us in many and varied ways. We are all "one body"
of which there are "many members", each of which is a different but integral aspect of God.
The One Body is God, The Source, Universal Mind, and we, as humans, as well as all life in creation, including every animal, plant and mineral, however large or small as perceived by humans, are the "many members" of God, The All as is Jesus, the Christ. the "many members" of God are the many channels of experience of God making up the whole experience through which God is "glorified". We each have our place, and no "member" is superior in any way to any other "member", despite human traits or power and control.
Here then is the true Source of our power - Our Magic Within.
There is no need to look without to other groups, orders, religions, or to spells, rituals or other practices. All the power, knowledge and source of true evolution is within us in as The Source, God, Divine Providence and all anyone has to achieve is to not only realise that powerful truth, but to Live it in every moment just as the person known as Jesus did, and then not only shall we have the same powers as Jesus but even greater, because God within us, "Doeth the Works" and God within us is unlimited.
So whenever you have wishes, needs, questions, or the need for anything at all for a joyful experience on Earth and to fulfil your true reason for being here, always turn within, and the answers they will be forthcoming:
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." -- Matthew 7:7-8
