Linux-drivers.org - Linux Hardware Compatibility Lists & Linux Drivers Authentification automatique à un réseau WiFi avec NetworkManager Certains réseaux WiFi sont ouverts (sans clé de sécurité) mais nécessitent une authentification. C’est souvent le cas des points d’accès dans les gares, les hôtels, les campings… Cela concerne également les réseaux ouverts tels que FreeWifi. Une fois connecté à un tel réseau, lorsqu’avec votre navigateur vous tentez d’accéder à n’importe quel site, vous êtes redirigé vers une page d’authentification demandant votre identifiant et votre mot de passe (parfois il ne s’agit que d’accepter des conditions d’utilisation). Mais il faut avouer que s’authentifier manuellement à chaque connexion est pénible. Le but de ce billet est de mettre en place une authentification automatique lors de la connexion au réseau. Authentification en ligne de commande La première étape est de pouvoir réaliser cette authentification en ligne de commande, à partir de l’identifiant et du mot de passe. Tout y est. À partir de ces champs, nous allons construire la chaîne des paramètres sous la forme : #! #! Tunnel SSH

HowToMD5SUM When one has downloaded an ISO file for installing or trying Ubuntu, it is recommended to test that the file is correct and safe to use. The MD5 calculation gives a checksum (called a hash value), which must equal the MD5 value of a correct ISO. The program md5sum is designed to verify data integrity using the MD5 (Message-Digest algorithm 5) 128-bit cryptographic hash. MD5 hashes used properly can confirm both file integrity and authenticity. In terms of integrity, an MD5 hash comparison detects changes in files that would cause errors. In terms of security, cryptographic hashes such as MD5 allow for authentication of data obtained from insecure mirrors. While security flaws in the MD5 algorithm have been uncovered, MD5 hashes are still useful when you trust the organization that produces them. The official page containing MD5 hashes for Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu Xubuntu and Lubuntu is UbuntuHashes. Check the iso file Manual method md5sum ubuntu-11.10-dvd-i386.iso Semi-automatic method
