[General Topics] S0AndS0:
Nice, downloading and going over the directions again, really appreciate that you compressed the file :) it'll be nice to get to testing (about 8% into the download now)

Update 08292013- LNMP server + Sprints' network (3G or 4G) = working for dbgui and sample page loading.

Note to all readers: this is memory intensive on the device running these services so freeze and or force close and or uninstall anything not required for your uses.

Curently this works as advertized using the device's IP for 3G or 4G as the web address and works great though slowly at times.

Update 08312013- found another Q&A for ssh over 3G regarding the IP address issues

http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/32794/how-to-ssh-into-android-from-a-different-network

And another link for finding IP's... only with a program/script for android, which might get you both internal and external IP's

http://chandan-tech.blogspot.com/2010/12/finding-ip-address-of-your-android.html

And another link to one that will show the external IP

http://code.google.com/p/external-ip/source/browse/src/org/kost/externalip/ExternalIP.java

Also found conversations on the web that confirm that Sprint's external and internal IP are indeed the same; explains why I had no problems making a connection. I'm thinking that if we write a bit of code to update a port forward between the two IP's for your device then maybe a long term solution can be forged, but that's only if we can confirm that port forwarding is even a solution... Hmm, more research :D...

this one talks about sshing twice...

Update 11am- found another link for some complex port forwarding

http://portforward.com/help/doublerouterportforwarding.htm

this one comes with pretty pictures and I'm thinking that if we sub out the routers for towers and devices we might be able to correctly map how to forward things so that the IP for 4G is seen by Android/Linux and the outside world. Still working on it and I'll be modeling this kind of thing through my devices and see if I can finely host a server on my HTC (which doesn't have anything but wifi or bluetooth for connectivity (till I figure out how to hack that that is ;) )) and have the network chatter pass through my Epics hotspot. Should be enlightening/educational for me :D...

Update 3 pm- found a fantastic guide on punching thru Tmobile fire wall

https://grepular.com/Punching_through_The_Great_Firewall_of_TMobile

Don't know if it'll still work but it seems like a lead on how to better debug the connection issues.

Update 5 pm- started compiling my experiances with Lil Debi and LNMP into the main guide on google docs (section 1:6:*) ... and just waiting on my other source of internet to come on back so I can continue testing LNMP through hotspot.

Update 09012013- after cooking three phones with connection attempts I'm no closer to connecting from outside when a device is hidden behind a hotspot... Did find this app though that shows the internal and external IP for devices, among other info

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=aws.apps.networkInfoIi

Update 09022013- just punched the clock at work. I'll see about adding more to the main guide about Lil Debi and LNMP, brain is a bit fried though at the moment, if I can get more info on the network that your using Almazick I'll keep looking for solutions that don't involve setting up a VPN to a PC but at this point to realize your goal I think one of two things can happen-

1 can try the service provider; its a pain in the butt but if you want help I can join in on that; use to work in the cellphone sales side of things so I've picked up how best to talk to support departments so that time isn't waisted on an ignorant represinitive just saying "no I'm sorry we can't do that"

2 can try a prepaid. Nextel runs off Sprint's network and one other one I've seen runs off Sprint or Verizon (coverage maps on the back of the boxes for the same companies are different in colours used and coverage advertised) which also might work... fun thing about option two is that some of the prepaids are so cheep (per-month) that its possible to set one up and run it somewhere that people won't see... but that's more applicable for other projects, like remote pen testing and honey pots.

Update 09042013- going camping for a few days again. Should come back with a new script to share by Saturday :)

Update 09072013- back from camping; got to watch fishes spawn not more than 50 feet away from the camp site, video footage will be compiled by my partner and then be made available through Google+ for those that are interested in watching the struggle for life... In other news I finished another script; this one will seriously mess with the lists of repositories available for ARM based Linux that you can install packages from. Full list and link will be edited in in a few minuets here. As always its use at your own risk, however, the way that it's written most of the modifications can be undone completely after installing the desires packages, so it's kinda like being able to dip ones' tow into a "testing distribution" state and flinch back if it gets bad ;) ... I'll have Wednesday and Thursday off from normal work duties and the evenings off on Monday and Tuesday; I plan to work out LNMP on Debian Kit Squeeze, and work out running a virtual privet network off one device so I can connect from outside into another device that's connected to it... hopefully through 4G and I'll be looking more into the direct connection methods that don't use Bluetooth or wifi; such as 3G, 4G, USB, but from what I've learned so far if you (the reader) want follow down this path, then you'll want to likely download kernels and drivers specific to your hardware, I'll document what I use and note generic versus specific so readers know where to make modifications to that guide...

Edit- here's the link to that script I was talking about

https://docs.google.com/document/d/...HIO9sXyfOW1YmVEQnJg9728/edit?usp=docslist_api

Update 09102013- been doing the work thing for the past few days, got a few more hours to put in and then I'll be able to share the latest script I've been working on. The latest script I've been working on will install NoFlo to ARM Linux devices, NoFlo is a flow based way of programming, the developers have just reached their kickstarter goal and one of their examples includes flight control software for quad copters. So yeah I got distracted for a minuet on this subject but it'll be worth it ... :) be back in a bit...

Update 09112013- lots of time spent scripting an installer for NoFlo for ARM Linux devices; nearly done, all the functional parts from guides or instructions have been wrapped up in such a way that they can be manipulated or run by another script. The first release will be a bit dangerous to run multiple times (still figuring out how to script checks before writing to a file) but when I get that figured out all other scripts that I've written will get smarter :D ... Link to draft will likely be posted tomorrow; have it off :) from normal work duties

Update 09122013- The link for the installer script for NoFlo is here

https://docs.google.com/document/d/...AKU5Ij5HHvKqmoF2BTvEBGo/edit?usp=docslist_api

Note though that it's still unfinished at this point. I'll be updating it shortly and finishing it up soon so do check on it over the next few days for updates.

I'll be incorporating it into the all in one script and likely re-writing that script some in the coming days as well. My hope is to have a script that prompts for the things you (the user of the script) want installed, then takes care of everything (dependencies and such) in an auto-detect and auto-fix fashion.

Oh and some notes I used to write the above script

https://docs.google.com/document/d/...Sb2qouWpLv7HIWJ9IfJFwnI/edit?usp=docslist_api

be back off work on Saturday again this week

Update 09132013- happy Friday the thirtieth readers :) this upcoming Thursday Wednesday and Tuesday I'll have off from normal work concerns, furthermore, I've been invited to attend a Kali training class on Thursday so very soon here I'll have some new knowledge to drop on you all about live boot USB; I'll be looking at ways to merge this learning into ARM based systems and other fun things related to pen-testing wile on the go.

Update 09242013- have been dealing with loans and such or a continuation of life BS interrupting normally scheduled developments... Meh that's life though, still checking in daily for questions so feel free to comment and I'll respond, and still doing my own testing but nothing worth reporting on... I'll be getting back into heavy writing again when finances allow me to have more time, likely in another week or two :o
