With the lab taking on its setup into a known configuration, I set about making it tidier. Not only does this look good aesthetically, it reduces the risk of damage and issues coming about if it was freely moveable.
I use Nagios to monitor my servers, and setup a new group for the raspberry pi’s. The monitoring is simple, but sufficient to ensure that basic resources are available, i.e. disk space, memory and remote access via SSH. If any issue occur, I get an email and notification via our group messaging service ‘rocket chat’.
To be able to use the HackRF to be used in the side channel attack against the Raspberry Pi’s CPU requires a ‘H antenna’, or ‘near field EMC antenna’. I’ve ordered these and are on their way, so then I will be able to start work on the software designed radio capture of the CPU cycles as it generates the keys for the IPSEC encryption.
I’m also busy with creating my presentation for the 1st year talks, but more on that after the event.
