Working with Kali linux and all its tools requires some experience and knowledge. So companies provide trainings and certification programs (and make some money). Then there are books, magazines etc. Welcome to AI/LLM’s such as Claude. Use natural language to conduct a port scan and get the results formatted in a way that’s ready for copy/paste into a report. Nice. The easiest way is to use a MCP and have Claude talk to a Kali linux VM or container. Follow the internet instructions and it might work. Might, because the Claude App on MacOs runs the ssh command in its own environment, so you needRead More →

The Icom IC-7300 tranceiver and its successor are my favourite AI / LLM test cases. I know those devices well, and all the documentation is available from the vendor on the internet. Here we go: >>> describe the usb ports on the icom 7300 mk2 transceiver The IC-7300 MK2 has one USB port, but it’s a significant upgrade over the original: USB Type-C port — the legacy USB-B port from the original IC-7300 is replaced with a modern USB Type-C port.

Or what about digital is digital, so cables don’t matter. The data packets send with USB audio are fire-and-forget. Bad cable means packet loss. But since it’s digital, a good cable is good enough. Better “copper” does not improve things. Since USB audio is fire-and-forget (USBRead More →

Some years ago I played with Home Assistant. I really like the concept of their “bullet proof” design. Since that is what you need for home automation. But it’s still a geeky system, compared to Philips Hue or Apple Home. And that’s fine, but do I want my lights controlled, during 3 weeks holiday abroad, by such a system? My setup uses mostly Hue lights, switches and a sensor. This is controlled by the Philips Hue bridge, which connects to Apple Home through Homekit. I think this is a setup used by many, and the configuration is very simple with the Home app. With thisRead More →
