Terminal fun

Terminal commands
cmd-s = single user mode
fsck -yf = file system check forced, yes
exit = get out of single user mode
cmd-space terminal opens terminal

ctrl-x = stop
ctrl-z = halt (bad manners)

ping
ls list (what is next to me?)
pwd print working directory (where am I?)
cd change directory

ssh secure shell: login to another computer
example: ssh admin@10.14.252.43
10 means HPA
14 means energy lab
252 means leased address (DHCP)
43 is your address

say xxxxxx will make computers speak what you like (xxxx)

Week of 11.10.14

Team,
I understand that some of you have been successful with your basic html pages, great work.
Please make sure you have completed the following modules:
1. Install and setup Raspberry Pi
2. Basic html uploaded to your /home/pi/www folder
3. HTML primer sections up to CSS, including the HTML5 examples
Where we will go next is into cgi scripts, written in PERL, a computer programming language. There is an excellent site on cgi 101 here:
http://www.cgi101.com/learn/
You can also find the complete text in our act resources folder, under pdf.
We will begin Monday by installing MAMP in your laptops. This is a neat kit installing four elements:
M=Macintosh, named after a noted breed of apple
A=apache2, which you are already deep into
M=mySQL a database system
P=PHP3, a gateway program used in online shopping, database access and other cool things.

You will install MAMP using the codes in the MAMP folder in our resource folder (look for codes.txt)
You will install MAMP using first the 3.0 code, which will require the 2.0 code as well.
If you are eager to try some of these out, you can download the free version from http://mamp.info, there is a mac and a windows version.
You could then try copying some of the cgi scripts from the text, there are some fun, interesting and creepy ones in there. None with cats, unfortunately.

To be better prepared, I ask that you read the first chapter in the cgi 101 text (online is fine, see link above). This should give you a great background on cgi: common gateway interfaces

We'll move after cgi into scratch, python and other programming, depending on your interest.
Please remember to list your idea for an independent project on your weblog.

Let me know how I can help.
aloha

apache!

Team,
As you can see from the notes below (see previous entries) we have lots of fun ahead with the raspberry Pi units.
To prepare, along with the previously covered three links, we will begin html with this text:

http://www.htmlcssvqs.com

which is also located in the physics server under pdf:

http://physics.hpa.edu/physics/act/pdf/html_and_css_peachpit.pdf

The first link has html code examples you can copy for yourself, the text is perhaps easier to read if you download it (option click from the browser: "download file as")

Please read the first chapter of the pdf for class Monday, you'll find it very straight forward, and if you've done any html, mainly review.

I have some great tricks for us to try, this will help us move along together.
Let me know how I can help.

change dhcp to static
add:
address 10.14.88.x
netmask 255.255.0.0
gateway 10.14.0.1

Make display stay on:
cd /etc/kbd
sudo nano config
BLANK_TIME=0
POWERDOWN_TIME=0

If restart needed:
sudo shutdown -r now

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2 -y
sudo apt-get install sqlite3
sudo apt-get install mc

Enabling PiFace board:

edit this file:

/etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf

change line to:
# blacklist spi-bcm2708

create file called installpf.txt in
/home/pi (this is your home directory)

sudo apt-get install -y python-dev python-gtk2-dev git
pushd ~/
git clone https://github.com/thomasmacpherson/piface.git
pushd piface/python
sudo python setup.py install
popd
sudo piface/scripts/spidev-setup
popd

the file is here:
Download file "installpf.txt"

Then type
sudo apt-get update
cd ~
bash installpf.txt

sudo shutdown -r now
then go to
python /usr/share/doc/python3-pifacedigitalio/examples/blink.py

Installing wi-fi:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wicd-curses

then once installed,
sudo wicd-curses

P is for preferences
If wlan0 is at the top, then hit F10 to exit
R means scan

cd to /etc/network
edit interfaces:

auto wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.51
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
wpa-passphrase WiFiPASSWORD
wpa-ssid WiFiNAME

comment out these lines:
#wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
#iface default inet dhcp

Copying files from rpi box:

scp pi@192.168.3.212:/var/www/index.html /Users/admin/Desktop


copy files TO raspberry pi:


scp /Users/admin/Desktop/installpf2.txt pi@192.168.3.212:/home/pi/


Install appletalk:

sudo apt-get netatalk

After netatalk is enabled, create a directory in /home/pi:

mkdir /home/pi/www

chmod 777 www

then go to

/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/

look for

000-default

sudo nano 000-default

replace

/var/www/

with

/home/pi/www/

do this twice.

Now, we can upload content to the server from afp

to enable directory listing, alter the name of index.html to index2.html

-------

Optional: VNC installation

sudo apt-get install tightvncserver

run: tightvncserver

create control and view passwords (8)

start VNC server from terminal:

vncserver :0 -geometry 1024x768 -depth 24

Client: can be iTeleport or free installer at tightvnc.com

Download file "tvnjviewer-2.zip"

n.b. port may be 5900, 5901, 5902, scan to determine




-------

PiFace installation:

in text editor, create file install.txt:

sudo apt-get install -y python-dev python-gtk2-dev git
pushd ~/
git clone https://github.com/thomasmacpherson/piface.git
pushd piface/python
sudo python setup.py install
popd
sudo piface/scripts/spidev-setup
popd

sudo apt-get update

upload the file install.txt to your home directory /home/pi/

run bash install.txt

sudo shutdown -r now

test with this script:

python /usr/share/doc/python3-pifacedigitalio/examples/blink.py

python3 /usr/share/doc/python3-pifacedigitalio/examples/simplewebcontrol.py
Go to IP address:8000 for web interface

http://piface.github.io/pifacedigitalio/simplewebcontrol.html

http://piface.github.io/pifacedigitalio/example.html

PIFace Control and Display 2 installation (CAD)

To use the PiFace CAD you need to install the software that runs it.

Install the CAD software with the command
sudo apt-get install python3-pifacecad

This will ask you a couple of questions, to proceed enter Y

To use PiFace CAD, you should reboot your Pi
sudo reboot

Once you have installed the PiFace CAD software you can display our system info example using the buttons and LCD screen on your PiFace CAD

First move into the PiFace CAD examples directory
cd /usr/share/doc/python3-pifacecad/examples

Now run sysinfo using the following command
python3 sysinfo.py

Something like the following should appear on your PiFace CAD screen

The top line is displaying your local I.P. adrress. The left side of the bottom line is displaying the RaspberryPi's processor's temperature, and the right side displays the current memory usage. press Ctrl C to exit the program.

To install the media player that piface radio uses, enter the command:
sudo apt-get install mplayer
enter y when prompted.

Unzip the piface radio example, with the command:
sudo gunzip /usr/share/doc/python3-pifacecad/examples/radio.py.gz

Sensor hunt

Our elab has many sensors for air, energy and water. Seek out Erin and Jeff, who may help you with some clues to these mysteries:

Air sensors:
Have a look at each of these sensors, each one starts with 10.14.x.y:

47.1
31.1
30.1
29.1
20.1

Where are each of these located?
If you blow on each one, how does it change the numbers?
What is normal for each one?

Water Sensors:
Have a look at 49.1
Go flush one of the toilets.
How much water does this take?
How much should it take (look on the toilet)?

Energy sensors:
Have a look at these sensors:
14.1
41.1
42.1

Now make sure there is water in the hot water maker. Turn it on. What circuit is it on?

Next, login to elab2.hpa.edu, using elabconsole and our wifi password

Look under telemetry, then CBW air.
What can you see about the CO2 levels in each room?
Does your test show up?
Do the same with the energy panels, can you see the hot water maker?
Can you tell at what time the TVs were turned on in the main hall today?
What about yesterday?
Turn on both TVs in our classroom, can you see these on the monitor?

Finally, go to 10.9.250.8.
If 1 kW running for one hour costs us $0.45, how much does it cost to run the IT building for one hour?

week 6 notes: web servers, ports, routers

Review:
IP masquerading
routers vs. gateways
apache web server startup
dhcp vs. static addresses
ports: 80
html basics: index.html is the default page on web servers
(later: much more on servers, ports, html and net neutrality)

Ports: computer "doors"
portscan: what doors are available
Port 80: default web server port
test on your network with 127.0.0.1 and your 10.14.8.x address
try with the 80 and without

portscan:
use IPNM to test yours, and others
test physics.hpa.edu
test 10.14.4.32-who is this? how could you find out? try dns 10.14.1.1

router setup:
Airport extreme defaults to DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol)
how is this different from static? why is it useful? where would I find it?
two sides to every gateway/router: the WAN side (wide area network=outside) and the LAN side (inside)
We will setup your routers to pass traffic from the HPA LAN (our WAN) to your private LAN (192.168.1.x). This means only YOUR computer, not the shared switch on your desktop. Why?
How will you know it is working?

See previous weblog for router setup notes, as well as the wiki here:


"DHCP wired" location, wireless disabled, can you browse the web?
Look at the settings the router gave you...
Your mind is probably constructing network diagrams, try writing these down. It's what I use to fall asleep at times...
Try now with a static address (static and DHCP can co-exist, but you can only have one DHCP server on the LAN)
Try either a 192.168.1.x address (your crossover network setting)
You will have to make sure the router is giving out addresses on the 192.168.1.x network.
NAT and Port forwarding (also known as inbound port mapping).

NAT: your computer uses the router to translate your address into a web request to the server, which then passes the response back to you, Network address translation (NAT)

Port forwarding/inbound port mapping: calls to the outside WAN side of the router are passed to some FIXED address on the LAN.
You have to have a fixed address on the LAN for the router to know who to send the packet to.

Test this on your private network with your apache web server.

Play around with this in the class, looking for others' routers, and your web server
You can also look under Utilities for Activity monitor, it should show folks looking at your web page
If you are really curious, you can go to console and see who exactly is looking at your web pages...
(look into the tail -f command for future reference)

Next steps: port forward 548, 22 and others...what do you see?
How could this be useful at your home/dorm?

TCP/IP

Notes:
Review of cat5
why cat 5? what is cat6? cat4? cat 3?
Why is it also called twisted pair?
how many pairs? why a pair, and why twisted?
full duplex vs half duplex: which is which? examples?
wiring notes: 1/2, 3/6 why?

hubs vs. switches vs. managed switches
layer 2 managed gigabit switch
gateways: different media routers: same media
MAC address: 0a:1e:df:e1:58:16
first three pairs are the OUI
MAC stands for machine access control
IP masquerading: 254x254x254x254 still not enough addresses
hexadecimal: 2^4 = 16 so 0-9, a,b,c,d,e,f


crossover setup:
192.168.1.x
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 what does this mean? why is HPA 255.255.0.0? why was it 255.0.0.0?
which is better? why?
router: 192.168.1.1 (does this exist?) what is a router/gateway? what is the difference?
DNS: what does this mean? can your computer work without it? how can you diagnose a dns issue?

TCP/IP as messages: TCP is the message, IP is the envelope
packets: header (destination), payload (message), footer (error correction) <more on this later with checksums>

Homework: read TCP/IP article on wikipedia, look up all terms
Homework next : cli share

Router setup:
cloud: all IPs (except for 10.x.y.z, 172.16.x.y, and 192.168.1.x) [this is called IP masquerading]
HPA: 10. x.y.z
elab: 10.14.x.y

Your internal network will be 192.168.1.x
routers vs. gateways

Airport extreme setup:
Make a new location called "dhcp wired"
make only ethernet active, with dhcp network numbers
connect to the reset airport base station on the LAN side (WAN side has a globe on it)
What is LAN and WAN again?
Configure your base station to do DHCP and NAT, with internal address starting with 192.168.1.x
Give your router a fixed address in the forma 10.14.251.x, with the list on the board
Your router external will be 10.14.251.x (numbers on board)
Your internal numbers will be 192.168.1.x (DHCP cannot be turned off on airport extreme routers-more on this next)
map out the path an incoming packet would take
packet dialog: ask (request), answer (response), check to see if you got it (TCP only, not UDP-why?)
can you browse the web?
what dns are you using?
can outside folks see your web page?
what web page?
I have a web page?
who the heck is "apache" and why is he in my computer?

nano /etc/apache2/users/USERNAME.conf

(USERNAME is your short login name)

then paste this part in:

<Directory "/Users/USERNAME/Sites/">
Options Indexes Multiviews
AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

to start your web server, do this:

sudo apachectl start

what port is my web page on?

try this http://127.0.0.1

take a step back: setup your computer to share over the web: http, afp and ssh
find the ports for each of these (don't just check the little boxes)

Next: port scans-computer burglars...
also--hacker routers: dd-wrt

Week 3, class 2 (3.2)

Team,
Please make sure you have recorded your results from Unix war games today on your weblog.
Our next steps will be to pick up where we left off in the Taking control of our pdf:
Take Control of the Mac Command Line with Terminal (1.1):

Download file "Take Control of the Mac Command Line with Terminal (1.1).pdf"

Please read at least up until passwd command, and read ahead to cover these topics:
passwd,
scripts: #!/bin/sh
shell script: #!/bin/bash
alias
drag and drop terminal, open .
open -a safari, chess
permissions: chmod, ls -la, 421 rule 1-2-4 = rwx
4+2+1=7
chmod a+x
chown
su vs. sudo
defaults commands
sudo softwareupdate -i -a
try:

textutil -convert html file1.doc

with drag and drop from finder

grep, pipes
tar, tarballs
curl URL > filename.html
lookup scp (secure copy)
compare lsof -i and sudo lsof -i
--questions to consider:
• what is the difference between | and >

----network section-----
managing networks: curl showmyip, airport -s, lsof, ping, host, whois
nslookup
internal dns
sudo nano /etc/hosts/


As soon as we are comfortable with these commands, we can move on to networking, beginning with cat5 cables, which you will create on your own.
Let me know how I can help.
