How to Enable .htaccess in Ubuntu 10.10

The default installs of Ubuntu don’t allow you to override Apache2 settings in .htaccess.  The fix is simple.

Edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default (with vi, nano, WinSCP, whatever)

Look for <Directory /var/www/>

Just below, look for
 
AllowOverride None

and change it to

AllowOverride All

Save and and then restart apache2 by typing:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

That’s it!  Your settings in .htaccess should now work.

Maui WiFi War Driving Map

This is the most up-to-date Wireless Network map for Maui as of today (or at least it should be. :) )  Here’s what I learned

Maui WiFi Security Break Down

OPEN = 1168 of 3056 of Maui networks have NO SECURITY
WEP = 777 of 3056 of Maui networks have INCREDIBLY WEAK SECURITY
WPAPSK = 952 of 3056 of Maui networks are REASONABLY
SECURE
WPA2 = 93 of 3056 of Maui networks are VERY SECURE
Other = 66 of 3056 of Maui networks are HIGHLY SECURE

Please note that the above numbers are estimates.  Networks not broadcasting their SSID’s were not logged.

So How Secure Is Maui Overall?

63.6% of Maui Networks are Insecure. (WEP encryption is NOT secure (yes, even 128bit WEP) and is included here with the OPEN networks.)

36.4% of Maui Networks are Reasonably Secure.  I consider any network that cannot be cracked in 24 hrs reasonably secure.  Please note that default and weak passwords can make even the most secure networks negligible to attack.

Lets See The Data!

The map below can be used as a quick reference, but I would encourage you to download the KML file above and view it in Google Earth.  It will perform faster and will give more more information.

Map takes time to load.  KML Data is about 1 MB.
