Team,

Your company has been asked to install a single hot water panel on a small residence, much like the faculty cottages. Below you will find some information about this panel. Work together to come up with answers for your "client":

Solar panel size: 3 square meters

Solar panel cost: $1200

Solar radiation: 1500 W/m2

Solar panel efficiency: 90%

Solar radiation hours per day (at full power): 5.5 hours

Electrical cost: $0.45 /kWh

Panel lifetime: 20 years

Amount of power per panel:

Amount of energy per day for this panel:

Amount of energy per month:

Amount of money earned by the panel each month:

Amount of time (in months) it will take to pay off this panel (ROI):

How many months in the lifetime of the panel?

How many of these months are "free energy"?

How much money did the panel make for your client?

Team,

This is where you will find a summary of what we cover or will cover in class. This should only serve as a reference, and copying into your weblog does not count as your notes.

Computer repair:

fsck -yf

Team,

Before we finish our weblog directories, please try these out with your friends:

1. run an osascript to make their computer say something interesting

2. ping flood your partner's computer, while watching the ping time on that computer

3. determine the link rate for wired and wireless networks to the routers we use: 10.14.1.1 and 10.14.0.1

4. use text edit in plain text mode to create a simple html page, including header, body, bold and italics

5. demonstrate the traceroute to www.apple.com, explaining the times for each leg

6. CHECK WITH YOUR FRIEND, then restart their computer

7. demonstrate the use of fsck on startup, and applejack if installed

8. query and explain the xml data from one of our sensors

9. demonstrate how to block a ping flood attack from your friends

10. use nslookup to find the IP address for physics2.hpa.edu, and what machine is at 10.14.4.2

Have fun!

Team,

Do this in pairs at most, and keep your answers secret until everyone has succeeded.

Here is your quest:

Task one:

There is a rogue access point somewhere in this building.

Find it

What is the SSID?

Change it to something else for the next group.

Take screenshots and upload to your weblog.

Task two:

There is a newly configured energy meter somewhere in this building.

Find it on the network.

How much power is it reading?

Where is it, and what is it measuring?

Take a photo and post on your weblog.

Task three:

Herobrine is at it again. He has hidden a message from Bo, telling you which languages he speaks.

Find this message, and list the many languages in the "Life of Bo"

Leave your own message there.

Screenshots, whatever you like on your weblog...

Have fun...

Team,

Part of our class is on the road now, and will catch up with you soon.

Today we have two tasks:

1. Prepare at least one task to go along with your excellent questions for our test Friday, and email your instructions to me for your test.

2. Our latest network task (below)

Please email your answers to bill@hpa.edu as well as put them on your weblog.

Remember: your test Friday is open weblog, so make sure your weblog is organized, well thought out, and complete.

Wednesday network task:

Using the login you used before for the energy lab server elab2.hpa.edu (elabconsole and the wireless password), monitor the following values:

Energy consumption

Air in the rooms

Energy production

Next, look up these values on the following IP addresses to see if they match:

10.14.43.1

10.14.14.1

10.14.41.1

10.14.42.1

10.14.52.1

Next, look at each by entering the suffix /state.xml after each IP address

Next, boil some water near the sink, and determine which outlet is being tracked by which circuit on the B board. There is a note on each outlet as a head start.

Repeat by boiling water at several other outlets in the main hall of the lab, identifying each of these outlets.

---the air part---

Check out the following units, using html and xml:

10.14.47.1

10.14.31.1

10.14.30.1

10.14.29.1

10.14.28.1

10.14.21.1

10.14.20.1

Next, blow on each these sensors and track the CO2, RH and temp on both the html, xml and on the elab2.hpa.edu server. Record all of your data in your weblog, and email me a copy (cut and paste).

1. What do you notice about the time it takes for each sensor to respond?
2. How fast does each sensor recover?
3. You are measuring current in the electrical circuits, how is power calculated?
4. What are the units of CO2, RH and temp? Why?
5. Explain how these units could be used to monitor and control a building

Team,

Using cd, ls, pwd and other commands...

I've created a server on campus called elabminecraft.hpa.edu

It only show up on the dns of one machine: 10.14.1.2

Find the address for the mystery machine.

I've hidden files in the Applications directory, under mine craft.

Look for these using terminal

Tell me who is banned from this server, when, for how long, and why. Also by whom.

In the documents folder, I've hidden more files. Find these and tell me what happens on Wednesday.

Next steps:

Create your own text documents on your own computer, and dare your partner to find them.

Team,

Here is a summary of our work last class:

ping

top

who

ps and kill

open

ssh

sudo shutdown -r now

IP settings: IP address, netmask, DNS

nslookup

ping flood attacks ping -f

Denial of service attacks (DOS)

DDOS

script kiddies, commerce spies and military/national hackers

stuxnet

TCP/IP: what it means

I've included a photo from the board below.

Next steps:

In class Friday, here's what we have planned:

review and try all of the commands above with your partner

setup of the white laptops as your toolkit

test the white laptops with ssh and others

basic repairs: fsck -yf and Disk Utility

the command line interface as a toolkit

Weblogs

Bo has the admin password, we'll set up accounts as ss with a new sekrit password for our team on the white laptops.

You may want to label your white laptop somehow, so you can get to it every class-something on the ends would be nice.

More soon.
