SHALLOW HACKER ㋡

Do the following: Go to "About This Mac" (top left under the Apple logo) Click "More Info..." Choose "AirPort" on the left-hand side (in the "Network" section) On the right-hand side look for "Card Type = AirPort Extreme" The "Firmware Version" underneath should indicate what chipset you have. E.g. "Broadcom BCM43xx"  Hopefully this will help you out. Maybe you want to know this because you're hoping to use Aircrack to do some WEP cracking :). This page lists compatible aircrack chipsets .

To SSH into your Mac you just need to do the following. Go to System preferences >> Sharing Check the "Remote Login" box That's it! This will start sshd on your system and you can now be able to SSH your Mac with your usual Mac username and password. If this helped you out, hit the +1 button below. If not, feel free to leave a rude comment ;-)

I've just bought a Macbook (13.3" aluminium, 4gb ram, lovely | battery, non-backlit keyboard, less lovely) and cos I've always been a Windows user there's a lot that is new to me. Before I give up and install Bootcamp I'll probably discover a bunch of things that I'll want to remember. So I'm going to record them here. I definitely need a comprehensive reference to Mac keyboard shortcuts. I'm sure there are plenty out there. It's amazing how disabling it is not knowing all the keyboard shortcuts that one's gotten so used to over time. I shall battle on :) Here is a list of URLs with keyboard shortcuts. http://tinyurl.com/axudxr (thanks @vkoser ) http://tinyurl.com/5q86qh (thanks @murdamw ) http://tinyurl.com/5jjp95 ( " ) Description Key combo Source 1.
