@rootshell An OS... in JavaScript!?!! I'm guessing you're writing the base of the kernel in a native language like C, building a JS interpreter on top of that, and then the rest of the OS in JS? Sounds like madness... O_O
-
@Gogeta70 completly in JS.
Not nodejs or the likes. Purely JS, no framework or whatever. Only issue will probably be that localstorage will become to small. -
@rootshell I'm not sure how you would build an OS in Javascript? How do you compile it to native code? Or... are you not running this OS on bare metal?
-
@rootshell Ah, gotcha. I was thinking of when I wrote a virtual memory manager in C for my OS a few years back... doing that in JavaScript would give me nightmares. :P

Tracing people whereabouts through their current APs association, plotting their approximate position on buildings layouts.
Calling it nazifi for now for lack of a more suitable name 😄 -
@nbamaral Sounds cool, I imagine you could use signal strength reading across multiple AP's to triangulate their position...
Is it open source? I'd like to check it out. -
@Gogeta70
Yes, using signal strength to get the distances, except for signal caught across floors it's pretty accurate.
Triangulation though it's hard, hardly anyone is associated in more than one at a given time.
There's not much into it, it uses telnet and cisco commands, all parse with perl.
Not sure is worth open source it, the only interesting bit it gathers EAP auth too, so we know the user regardless of the equipment mac-address.
I can give you all the commands I used, but the program itself it's useless outside our network, -
@nbamaral Nice! You don't need people associated with an ap to pick up their signal, just listen for probe packets and match their Mac address to their identity. As an example, take a look at airodump-ng.

Got a couple of projects atm
- general-purpose C++ framework
- Bytecode Stack-VM
- a compiler
And a couple of somewhat abandoned things I should continue working on -
True that. But in this case, I extended the tool I use to backup configs, send fixes in batch, add temp ssids so I limited myself to what they can tell me by telnet or snmp.
Filtering the output lines by the ap itself makes it quite speedy gathering the data. WIP, it was an uneventful Friday. 😊 -
th3113247yI'm working on a Discord bot in NodeJS. Decided to do it without using any 3rd party libraries so I'm having to make a module on top of the built in TLS module for the Websocket protocol. Then a module using that module to communicate with the discord API. Then I can make the actual bot :P

@Gogeta70
I'm working on an open source version of Google Home... But in a nodeJS API. So then any application can interface with it.
At the same time I'm also making a mod for the raspberry pi AIY projects that allows it to interface with the API

So, what are you all working on right now? Let's get some screen-shots in here!
I'm working on my "BrowserBandit" software - it reads a firefox or chrome profile and extracts saved user/pass combos, history, and autocomplete entries.
