We have two old IBM pSeries servers that need to be set up / hacked to obey our will.

Baldur has discussed using a BSD on them and they can be our shell server.

some information on the "hardware":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellistation#IntelliStation_POWER_275





    13
    
    
    
It contains a "POWER4+":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POWER4%2B#POWER4.2B chip which supports a variety of operating systems.

    27
    
    
    
using the idea of moss graffiti, we can use these to try to make scannable QR codes, perhaps to lat/long co-ordinates as a scavenger hunt or geo-caching.

We've received a Ripe Atlas Probe. It sends regular measurements back to RIPE a European IP Network association or RIR (regional internet registry). The probe is a small ethernet device powered by USB. It sends back regular pings to RIPE network. It transmits this information over tcp port 443 outgoing. 





    43
    
    
    
Mostly it conducts DNS queries, traceroute's and Round trip timing. Every moment we have the probe connected we are earning credit that can be spent on asking other probes in the network to conduct specific tests we order. Therefore if you notice the probe is unplugged please let someone in hakkavelin know. The login information for the atlas project is stored in the browser on the laptop nearest the probe.
