Subject: Not just another brick in the wall! - msg#00000List: politics.activism.wsfii.generalNathan Ramella writes "The ARCwelder project has released a technique dubbed 'Go Fighting Tabby!' which exploits an unquoted system() call through the Archos UI, providing the ability to execute arbitrary code with root access on the Archos 605 WiFi. In doing so, opening the platform up for further hacking. The Archos 605 WiFi runs embedded Linux on an ARM processor, but employs a variety of anti-hack techniques to keep users from modifying its firmware and operating system. Included is a cross-compiled sshd with configuration files to allow for passwordless ssh access to the Archos when it is connected to a WiFi connection. Bricks ahoy!"

Dubbed the Marvell TopDog 11n-450, the chip is a 90-nanometer, 3x3 WLAN solution with three spatial streams, which the company helpfully informs us is more than eight times faster than plain old 802.11g 54 Mbps offerings, and 1.5 times faster than current 802.11n 300 Mbps options -- in theory, at least. What's more, the TopDog chip also promises a 500% range increase over 802.11g, and a still decent 160% increased range over other 802.11n solutions. While those numbers have obviously yet to be put to the test (by someone other than Marvell, that is), that detail should be able to be taken care of soon enough, as the chips are set to begin shipping in volume sometime next quarter -- and, of course, they'll be on display at CES as well." How do they claim extended range at frequencies higher than 2.4GHz? Won't the signal attenuate faster?Vickramhttp://communicall.wordpress.comhttp://vvcrishna.wordpress.com Sent from Yahoo! - a smarter inbox._______________________________________________ wsfii-discuss mailing list wsfii-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/wsfii-discuss Next Message by Thread: click to view message previewMarvell 802.11n chip promises 450Mbps at 'extended range'http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/210049998/"Chipmaker Marvell looks to have gone into full-on bragging mode today, with it announcing what it claims to be the "industry's first" 802.11n chip that operates at 450 Megabits-per-second.
