on the lame side of things. how fast does the thumbdrive needs to be? does it have to be a USB3 drive or a old USB2 @ 2-5mb/s will do?

Any USB should do for Skynet, we only hit the filesystem for logging and config files.
 
Young kids 6-12 wont know those things, and mine are not 'techies' ...they just watch videos and play games
:eek: Do not let their age give you a false sense of security!
My children's school has been teaching how to produce web pages, write code & scripts, as part of the eighth grade curriculum. That computer knowledge is passed around to all the kids in school. I had to become more diligent in my pursuit of computer literacy AND all the horrible ways to thwart a "safe" intranet/internet.
Best Practice is to teach your kids right from wrong.
Good Luck-
 
I almost never got any outbound blocks until I installed syncthing recently. I've been getting a few hits now from the 3 clients that I have it installed on, but the most are coming from my NAS, a My Cloud EX2 Ultra. Either I've got some bad guys phoning home for backup, or a couple of false positives.

Looks like they're trying to connect to 2 ip's that alienvault says are bad guys. I will have to take their word for it I reckon. I thought syncthing wore a white hat? (or for you young whipper snappers, was one of the good guys)
 
not sure if this is the right thread to ask but is there a way to add fix ip resolve to skynet or to diversion? eg resolving to bing.com would use my predefined IP.
or translate.google.cn to a fixed defined ip set by me.

because DNS in china is not very stable. getting a new IP would also mean a different DNS and sometimes that DNS would not resolve certain stuff.

I don't use syncthing so I can't say exactly, but its probably just a false positive.

No, you would need to use custom dnsmasq configuration.
 
I have always wondered something. is there any option to cluster all the merlin tabs together?
uidivstats, skynet together to the "addons" rather than going all over to find them?

"addons" is not a default tab, it is added by Jack Yaz's scripts.
 
Hello Adamm. I recently found out another ip address (outbound) Skynet was blocking, which is actually legit. 13.107.246.10 . Which is a Microsoft ip used for Microsoft Flight Simulator for loading the terrain on the map in real-time. I had issues with MFS when the terrain was blurry and never loaded. Whitelisting that ip solved the issue.

I figured you might be interested in knowing this, and for other users of Skynet encountering issues in MFS (2020).

Hey Adam - I just reinstalled all my scripts after doing the nuclear option. I followed the procedure for formatting the usb, then created a swap file. I then rebooted, then installed Skynet. As part of that installation, Skynet recreated the swap file. Is that the expected behavior? Couldn't you detect if a swap file of the right size exists, and not create a new one if it does exist?

Skynet only generates a SWAP file during installation if one isn't detected;

Code:
if ! grep -qE "^swapon " /jffs/scripts/post-mount; then Create_Swap; fi
 
Hi Adam.
Does Skynet work with dual WAN and WAN routing or would it only use the primary WAN?

I have no way to test (nor do I have any previous experience with dual WAN) so I can't confirm or deny.
 
I've pushed a minor update (no version change);

Code:
chartjs-plugin-zoom v0.7.7

As per the readme;

Code:
( firewall stats search manualbans ) Search For All Manual Bans


( firewall unban ip 8.8.8.8 ) This Unbans The IP Specified
( firewall unban range 8.8.8.8/24 ) This Unbans the CIDR Block Specified

What is the output of;

firewall debug info

When I restore the router, I only see this
"Skynet: [*] Lock File Detected (start skynetloc=/tmp/mnt/Adata/skynet) (pid=580) - Exiting (cpid=1853)"
"Skynet: [*] WebUI Integration Requires Logging To Be Enabled"
in the log.

Nothing more than Skynet.
