Tiny Ethernet Routers Now Available In Gigabit Speeds

If you need to move a lot of data, and fast, Gigabit Ethernet is a great way to do it. However, most network hardware outside of datacenters is fairly space inefficient, a headache if you’re building a robot or drone. Enter the Gigablox, a super-compact Gigabit router for just these …read more

When MAC flooding, why would an attacker specify IP addresses and/or TCP ports?

I’m specifically referring to the macof tool (part of the dsniff package).
As I understand it, MAC flooding is meant to overload a switch’s CAM table, which maps MAC addresses to switch ports.
Where does specifying IP addresses and/or TCP … Continue reading When MAC flooding, why would an attacker specify IP addresses and/or TCP ports?

DIY Relay Module Saves Time

As any programmer could tell you, there’s significant value in automating a process that is performed often enough. The more times that process is used, the more it makes sense to automate it or at least improve its efficiency. This rule isn’t limited to software though; improvements to hardware design …read more

Tiny Ethernet Switch Gets Even Smaller

As a project gets more complicated, some kind of internal communication network is often used to that all of the various modules and sensors can talk with each other. For hardware hackers like us, that usually means SPI, I2C, or maybe even good old fashioned UART. But if you’re pushing …read more

I can’t find my switch’s ip by both ARP and ICMP protocols scan with nmap [closed]

My switch is a TP-Link TL-SG105E perfectly function, but I can’t access to it because it’s like hidden somehow from the network.

I used tools like:

netdiscover -I wlp2s0 -r 192.168.0.0/24
nmap -PR 192.168.1.0/24
nmap -SP 192.168.1.0/24… Continue reading I can’t find my switch’s ip by both ARP and ICMP protocols scan with nmap [closed]

Nintendo Switch Gets a Stylish Dock In a Broken NES

The Switch is Nintendo’s latest home console, which has forever blurred the line between handhelds and consoles you plug in to your TV. It does both! Typically, hooking up to a screen is done through the dock, but that wasn’t quite cool enough for [sturm]. He took a NES and …read more

3D Printed Switch Uses Paperclip

We live in a time when all manner of electronic components are practically a mouse click away. Still, we like to see people creating their own components. Maybe a stock part won’t fit or isn’t immediately available. Or maybe you just want to build it yourself, we get that. [Aptimex] …read more

Keyboard Switch is Really a Transformer

We don’t know why [TubeTime] decided to show off this oddball keyboard switch as a series of Twitter posts, but we were glad to see them somewhere. At first, the switch looks pretty conventional. But as the pictures reveal the insides, you’ll notice something unusual: a ferrite toroid! These switches …read more
