Main Features:
- Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as a real disk.
- Encrypts an entire partition or storage device such as USB flash drive or hard drive.
- Encrypts a partition or drive where Windows is installed (pre-boot authentication).
- Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent.
- Parallelization and pipelining allow data to be read and written as fast as if the drive was not encrypted.
- Encryption can be hardware-accelerated on modern processors.
- Provides plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal the password:Hidden volume (steganography) and hidden operating system.
More information about the features of TrueCrypt may be found in the documentation.

This page details the construction of a biquad antenna. The biquad antenna is easy to build, and provides a reliable 11dBi gain, with a fairly wide beamwidth.
Tomato Firmware: Increased Transmit Power Does More Harm Than Good?
I had turned the routers up to 80 mW and the problem was still occurring. Upon some research I found that as the Transmit power levels of the routers increased, so did the radio noise produced by the routers. I decided to turn the routers back down, to a level lower than when I first began to administer the network. After this change, users noticed an immediate improvement in the quality of their wireless connections. Everything was (and still is) running stable. The users are no longer losing Internet connection and are maintaining proper network speeds.

I’m seeing the same thing with the Tomato firmware. The firmware is nicer than Linksys but I thought increasing the power of this router would increase the range but I suppose it’s more complicated than that.
NBNS (Netbios) storm, how to prevent?
NBNS (Netbios) storm, how to prevent?.
Interesting discussion that made me figure out my problem — my laptop had a printer mapped to a networked windows printer which caused it to keep sending nbns broadcasts.
Packetstan: NBNS Spoofing on your way to World Domination
Since the look up is just a hostname, windows adds the local DNS suffix to the query and asks its DNS server(s). The suffix picked up my the Windows box usually comes from the DHCP server. As you can see, the DNS server replied that it had no idea on how to lookup that name. Next, you’ll see the NBNS Request. The beautiful thing is, the NBNS Request is a broadcast, so anyone can reply easily and redirect traffic.

NetBIOS/NBNS
NBNS serves much the same purpose as DNS does: translate human-readable names to IP addresses e.g. www.wireshark.org to 65.208.228.223. As NetBIOS can run on top of several different network protocols e.g. IP, IPX, …, other implementations of the NetBIOS services have their own mechanisms for translating NetBIOS names to addresses. NBNS’s services are more limited, in that NetBIOS names exist in a flat name space, rather than DNS’s hierarchical one multiple flat name spaces can exist, by using NetBIOS scopes, but those are rarely used, and NBNS can only supply IPv4 addresses; NBNS doesn’t support IPv6.
