I am having a number of portable touchscreen computers with Ubuntu Linux 10.04LTS Lucid Lynx, the processor architecture is "i386". I used TWINKLE VOIP client and through SIP i am able to call to those units from IP Phone and similarly i am also able to call the IP phone from the Touchscreen computers as well.
The problem is-- I need a keyboard every-time i need to dial a number. There is no onscreen keyboard feature.
Is it possible to dial a sip number directly from the Linux terminal?
If it is possible then i will incorporate the script within a small GUI application, so that the user will call numbers with my GUI application's touch interface.
If you check out the man page for twinkle ( man twinkle ), online version http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/man1/twinkle.1.html you will see that there is both an option to specify the called party from the command line, and also a CLI interface
When you run twinkle, you can add -call to dial a number.
By contrast -c starts a CLI interface (presumably with options for dialling numbers, answering etc, but I don't have it on this machine).
Another useful switch is -cmd which lets you add a series of CLI commands to run. These can be used for instance to answer an incoming call.

As part of my project requirement I want to make a system which will detect all the WiFi devices in my router range either its connected or not, I did some research on it then I found something like wireshark ,kismate etc I just tried the wireshark by making my Mac machine's WiFi as an adhoc network and its all fine I am able to list all the WiFi devices in wireshark, now I want to make a real-time system based on a real WiFi router I don't know how I will configure my router using my PC and how I will monitor the router from my PC , one more thing if I am using this wireshark how I will use this data for my requirement. If any one worked with similar scenarios please help me..thanks in advance
To do that you will need more than the usual API that you have on commercial WiFi routers (by that I mean a full SSH access). I would:
flash my router with OpenWRT (you can search for your router on this page for detailed instructions)
Install the aircrack-ng suite on the flashed router with
opkg update
opkg install aircrack-ng
Put my WiFi card in monitor mode and run the airodump service:
airmon-ng start wlan0 #Put your NIC in monitor mode
airodump-ng mon0 #Sniff surrounding packets
You don't necessarily have to install aircrack-ng, you can just put your card in monitor mode using command line (look at the documentation for your WiFi driver) and then run tcpdump (command line equivalent to wireshark) but aircrack works very well and has a nice format.
Also, I should warn you that you can brick your router by flashing it. I never had such a problem when flashing router mentioned on the OpenWRT wiki and there are (most of the times) ways to restore a bricked router depending on the brand but I am not responsible if you break it ;)
I have an application that I inherited that listens on port 7001 for UDP broadcasts from our in-house test equipment, and I recently updated another application that needs to do the same thing. Both applications must be able to coexist on the same computer.
Currently, when my recently updated application attempts to bind to the port to listen for UDP broadcasts and fails, it simply reports that the port is not available and suggests that the inherited application is probably running. How can I get my application to detect what application is actually listening on that port? I've done a Google search and have even searched this site, but so far I have been unable to find anything except to use Task Manager, TCPView, or netstat at the command line.
I would prefer a technique that either uses the Windows API or a Windows system COM component, since both applications are written in Visual Basic 6.0. (I know, I know, but I must maintain these applications since they are mission critical.) However, a .NET solution would would also be useful in case I need it in my new development efforts.
Use:
netstat -n -o
That will show the process ID and from there you can either look in the Task Manager's process viewer, go to menu View → Columns... and check the Process ID (PID). Then you can see the name of the process listening on that port.
Of course, you're wanting a programmatic way of accomplishing this and the GetTCPTable2 API is best as was already suggested. In fact, if you look at the IAT (Import Address Table) for netstat.exe, it actually uses that API to get that information.
There is a way to communicate directly with a command window and get its output using pipes and it would work fine, but the ideal way is to simply use the same API netstat uses.
How can smartly/remotely control a Raspberry-PI system through android apps. I have found an android app named "Raspberry Control" (source). I have followed all the steps as given in the above URL.
I have installed the android app in my phone (samsung galaxy note, recent release in 2014) followed tried to make a connection of android app with my RPI system (I have followed the steps mentioned in this Youtube video). But as shown in video, when the app started from phone, it needs a SSH connection (showed at 0.25 in the video). Unfortunately, I have faced an error like "check installation on RPi".
Thanks in advance for your precious time. Do I need to install any software on raspberry pi or am I missing any steps?
Secure Shell (SSH) is a network protocol that allows data to be
exchanged over a secure channel between two computers. Encryption
provides confidentiality and integrity of data. SSH uses public-key
cryptography to authenticate the remote computer and allow the remote
computer to authenticate the user, if necessary. SSH is typically used
to log into a remote machine and execute commands, but it also
supports tunneling, forwarding arbitrary TCP ports and X11
connections; file transfer can be accomplished using the associated
SFTP or SCP protocols. An SSH server, by default, listens on the
standard TCP port 22. An SSH client program is typically used for
establishing connections to an sshd daemon accepting remote
connections. Both are commonly present on most modern operating
systems, including Mac OS X, GNU/Linux, Solaris and OpenVMS.
Proprietary, freeware and open source versions of various levels of
complexity and completeness exist.

You found a complete guide/dossier in this link. The install instruction can change depending on the system.
You can control rpi trought ssh simply from windows, linux, android, iOs using a ssh telnet/client. Your app simply after press a button send to rpi the correct ssh comand.
If you have debian(or raspbian) this guide is for you:https://wiki.debian.org/en/SSH.
So, you must enable the ssh service on your rpi. Username and password are user/pass of your rpi account.
I'm developing Firefox addon that communicate with external program by sockets. This program create local socket server on specified port when this addon need it. I would like to ckeck from this addon whether this application has opened this port already.
On Win7 when server isn't created yet I receive in socket created by addon NS_ERROR_CONNECTION_REFUSED in nsIRequestObserver::onStopRequest but if I can feel certain port isn't open when I receive this error?
You try to connect and see if the connection succeeds.
If it doesn't, then the port is not reachable (open).
That's the most obvious and easiest answer.
Other low-level solutions would require polling the OS itself somehow. That would be cross platform specific (so you'd need to write an implementation per platform) and also there is no API readily available so you'd have to mess around with C/C++ or at least js-ctypes, or hack together some ugly "execute this program and check output" stuff. All of which doesn't worth the fuzz.
If you want to find out which "inbound ports" are in use in windows you can use cmd,
if you don't know how to open cmd - open the run dialog by pressing windows-key+r. type cmd and hit enter
type netstat -a and hit enter and it will list all "listening" ports.

We have acquired a 4 channel GSM Gateway, model GoIPx4-G610 (the manual is titled "GoIP Series SIM Card for GSM Voice Gateway - GSM VOIP Gateway").
We are looking to develop a custom application to control the GOIP gateway. We have developed in the past custom applications that controlled simple GSM modems through AT commands for sending/receiving SMS messages in particular.
Although the gateway can be controlled through SIP we would like to control the GSM modems embedded in the gateway through AT commands if possible. This is because of the fine grained control AT commands offer and because we do not need VoIP features since we need only to send/receive SMS messages.
The gateway runs an unknown Linux instance to which we can connect through telnet. Unfortunately we do not have the credentials to authenticate to it. The gateway also has a web http administration interface to which we can authenticate but we can't find there settings/information related to channels that we can use for AT commands.
The documentation is very poor and the provider could not offer us any helpful information regarding this.
If anyone knows how we can send AT commands to the modems inside the gateway it is highly appreciated.
Up to now we have tried a brute force attack on the telnet interface to find the credentials with no success. We hope that once we can connect to the Linux instance driving the gateway we can connect from there to the modems through serial connections (to send AT commands) and we can reconfigure it to redirect the connections outside of the modem or to make an interface for sending commands to the modems.
The device has an update firmware option (through the web interface) which always gives the error "download failed". Downloaded the firmware (.pkg file) manually from their update pages and extracted the files from the embedded Linux distribution that should correspond to the ones placed on the gateway. The files were kept in the pkg file as an ROMFS compressed image which we mounted on a test station to see the files (probably the running OS on the gateway is an uClinux distribution).
Did this hoping that we can find there the /etc/passwd file which could be cracked with classic attack. However didn't found it and probably that file is placed on the gateway flash memory (contrary to the Linux files which are stored on the ROM memory). So if there is a way to erase / reset this flash memory that could be a solution (in case the gateway doesn't refuse to boot without those files). Another solution would be to be able to access the flash memory with the passwd file if there is such thing.
You might take the lid off and see what parts are inside.
If it's a general purpose processor with a published data sheet and without a lot of code security features, you might be in luck. For example, you might find:
By guessing headers or tracing from known pins, a console serial port, either logic level or RS232, hopefully with a shell listening
A boot mode pin for the micro connected to a resistor, which you could jumper to cause the micro to boot to a uart bootloader where you could download a new system image, or patch the existing one. If you are lucky the bootloader would be something known, like u-boot.
A JTAG port for the processor
A removable storage device which you could remove and alter
an SPI flash which you could carefully tap into and alter
A flash chip which you could desolder and transplant to a programmer
You could also make a GPL sources request for the kernel and whatever else from the vendor. Or even just trying to identify versions of things like a web server could help you look up any known exploits. Since it seems you have a similar system image to that which is installed, looking through it could be helpful - look for additional daemons running, listening on ports you weren't previously aware of, left over debug support, etc.
I am the developer of the GoIP you've purchased. Instead of trying to hack the GoIP, did you contact us to support your development of custom applications? Here are the updates of GoIP for you.
GoIP now supports SMPP. This could be an alternative to using AT commands to send and receive SMS.
API (Application Programming Interface) for GoIP is now available to support your custom application development.
If AT commands are still the preferred method, please contact us and I would be happy to discuss with you further.
