What’s New in Elementary OS 5.1 Hera

Elementary OS 5.1 codename "Hera" Linux distribution is the latest minor release of elementary 5.0, brings a major update that adds many improvements and new features, as well as updated components and fresh new artwork. 

In this release, Elementary OS 5.1 implemented out-of-the-box Flatpak support to make it easier and secure for users to install third-party apps that are not available in the AppCenter, but are essential for their everyday tasks.

Also, it comes with Sideload, a new, in-house built graphical utility that lets you install Flatpak apps with a single click. In addition, elementary OS 5.1 adds Flatpak support to the AppCenter so that users can manage Flatpak apps alongside regular applications from the official repositories.

One of the first things users will notice in elementary OS 5.1 "Hera" is the brand new first-run experience as the development team redesigned the login and lock screens to make them look sharper, work better on HiDPI displays, notify of Caps or Num Lock enablement, make "Log In as Guest" more distinct, and provide a more intuitive user switcher. 

On top of that, there's also a new Onboarding app that makes it easier for newcomers to set up their brand-new elementary OS 5.1 machines. This will allow you to manage privacy settings, enable Night Light, set the system to automatically clean temporary or deleted files, or install all of your favorite apps.

Block party: Jamming wifi networks via software

Welcome back all! this is my first proper tutorial in a while so lets get right into it. 

Recently I have been looking into a lot of Hardware tools. On my searches one of the items that features extremely heavily is wifi jammers. Unfortunately where I live it's illegal to own those kinds of devices on the bright side wifi is quite easy to jam simply having a router on the same channel as another one close by can be enough to jam a wifi network.

In this tutorial we will be doing wifi jamming exclusively via a python script all you need is a machine with python and a few other goodies installed.

Setup

To set everything you need up you will need to use the following commands to setup all the prerequisites (I used a machine built with elementary OS for this tutorial):

$ sudo apt install git $ sudo apt install python-pip $ sudo apt install scapy

Now to clone the Git repo you will need:

git clone https://github.com/DanMcInerney/wifijammer.git

Running the tool

Change into the directory where you have cloned the wifijammer repo

cd wifijammer/

Simply run the command below and the script will quickly do some reconnaissance on all AP's it can detect and then start de-authing them:

$ python wifijammer.py

It's also a good idea to have 2 wifi card installed for this script but its not required.

De-Auth Example:

Viola its that simple to jam wifi networks!

Conclusion

As always I hope you found this tutorial useful. Please let me know if you would like to see more wifi focused tutorials in the near future.

As always thanks for your support! Until next time,
