Configuring Cisco Secure ACS for Windows PEAP-MS-CHAPv2 - [Part 1]
Posted by Ahsan Tasneem | 5:00 AM | cisco, Cisco ACS, How To, Linksys, RADIUS, Vmware | 3 comments »Introduction
I was working on improving and managing (logging) the security of my wireless network and for this purpose I was searching for steelbelted RADIUS which used to be a freeware, but recently I found that Juniper bought it and its no more freeware now. Therefore I started looking for an alternative and I found one that is Cisco ACS. My plan was to place RADIUS behind the wireless routers placed in my office and authenticate the users trying to connect to Wifi through RADIUS server preventing the unauthorized users access and also generate their logs. Below article helped me in the process I have also specified the changes done by me to make things work. The procedure mentioned below is for the workgroup environment not for the Domain environment.
Do let me know if you face any problem I'll be posting more on this soon keep following @ahsantasneem

You can update your version of JunOS from the CLI with the following command:
request system software add [jinstall_package]
Running your router(s)
Now you have a base olive image. Qemu allows you to use this as a base for other images and only writing the changes to your “slave” images saving on disk space! You can also use less memory for each Qemu instance.
Create a new image off of your base image. Repeat for all your routers you want to emulate:
qemu-img create -b olive-base.img -f qcow2 R1.img
Start your router and then telnet to it:

This is an updated and enhanced version of excellent howtos from Juniper Clue and Internetwork Pro as well asHimawan Nugroho’s blog. I mainly focused on Qemu, so if you wish to install JunOS on a real PC or using VMware, please have a look at the Juniper Clue article for more information (and of course Google).
So what’s new you would say? First, I chose to use the latest version of Qemu: the 0.11.0 which supports the Intel e1000 network card emulation since version 0.10.0. and includes several fixes for it. I have modified and adapted the old patch for Qemu 0.11.0, it includes the UDP tunnel (connection to Dynamips/GNS3), PCAP and LCAP support. Also, the patch allows multicast traffic with the e1000, i82557b and i82559er Qemu emulated network cards. Moreover, this article show how to emulate JunOS on multiple operating systems: Mac OS X, Windows XP and Linux Ubuntu 9.04 without using an untrustworthy obscure binary downloaded from a forum you can’t even read the language

How To - Multiple Olives On One Box Using Vmware
Posted by Ahsan Tasneem | 11:04 AM | How To, Juniper Networks, juniper olive, junOS, Multiple Olives, Vmware | 0 comments »Creating virtual serial ports for telnet access (so no physical com port access required)...
Having one Olive box is great for CLI familiarity but multiple Olives interacting with each other is the only way to really get to grips with the routing protocols and route filtering techniques. Once one Olive session is fully built, it's a piece of cake to mirror this so you can have 2 or 3 or more (resources dependant) on one box. The main limiting factor of this approach is the lack of physical serial ports on the server. Mine only has a single COM1. To get round this, I used the FREEWARE HW Virtual Serial Port v2.5.10 software from HW-group. Using the command line (or creating shortcuts in the Windows user profile startup folder so it was persistent), I created 3 new virtual serial ports that were setup as telnet servers (COM2 on port 2009, COM3 on port 2010, COM4 on port 2011) so I can telnet to these and be "attached" to the various Olive console ports. Yes, this does mean my doctoring of the cable above was interesting, but not entirely necessary.

How To - Install JunOS on Vmware [Updated]
Posted by Ahsan Tasneem | 10:09 PM | How To, Juniper Networks, juniper olive, junOS, Vmware | 1 comments »Olive is a machine that run JunOS not in Juniper machine. Not like Cisco IOS that have Dynamips as ready to use IOS simulator, there is no ready to use JunOS simulator. Fortunately, JunOS runs on top of FreeBSD machine, so that we can simulate by install it on FreeBSD machine. So, to whom that want to learn JunOS, or want to take JNCIE :), but do not have Juniper machine, Olive is the solutions. This procedure will explain how to install JunOS in VMWare or Olive.
Here are you need to prepare, FreeBSD image, VMWare, and Junos image itself. Follow steps below for installing Olive.
[Mac OSx86] 10.4.8 VMware Installation Guide
Posted by Ahsan Tasneem | 10:48 PM | Hakintosh, How To, Mac OSx86, Vmware | 1 comments »Note: This is different from PearPC.
PearPC emulates
a PowerPC processor, while VMware
emulates a direct x86 platform.
System Requirements:
Processor supporting SSE2 or SSE3 instructions (Use CPU-Z for Windows to check)
Windows 2000 or higher/Linux (Mandrake, SUSE, or Red Hat)
512MB of RAM (strongly recommended)
6GB minimum hard drive space
8MB of VRAM
DVD-RW drive if you are burning the ISO
Software Requirements:
VMware Server (Free) or VMware Workstation 5 (commercial, recommended) or higher.
VMware 6 is recommended.
Note: VMware ACE Editions apparently have problems with networking in Mac OS X.
Attention Vista users: VMware Workstation 5.5 will not work. You need Workstation 6 VMware Workstations 6.0.1 and 6.0.2 are NOT recommended. It is recommended you use Workstation 6.0 build 45731 Mac OS x86 ISO; For test purposes ONLY, in this guide the "JaS Mac OS X 10.4.8 Intel/AMD SSE2 SSE3 PPF1+PPF2" ISO will be used. Mac specific DVDs cannot be used.
Burning software to burn the ISO to DVD (optional, recommended)
Blank 4.7GB DVD+R/DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+RW disc (if you are burning)
Daemon Tools or Virtual Clone Drive (if you are not burning the ISO)
Step 1: Install software Install all the software that is required. VMware is mandatory. If you are going to burn the ISO file to a DVD (recommended), you will need burning software such as NTI CD/DVD Maker or Nero Burning ROM. If you aren't going to burn the disc, then you will need drive emulation software such as Daemon Tools or Virtual Clone Drive.
Step 2a: Burn the ISO (if you are burning) Use your favourite burning software to burn the ISO image to DVD. Insert the bruned DVD into your optical drive.
Step 2b: Mount the image (if you are not burning) Mount the OS x86 DVD ISO file in Daemon Tools or Virtual Clone Drive (You can use Alcohol 120% if you want). You cannot mount the ISO directly in VMware because VMware cannot properly read HFS+ images (thats the format the Mac OS ISO is in)
Step 3: Configure VMware Note: In this guide, VMware Workstation 6 will be used. VMware Server or Workstation 5 can be used, but Workstation 6 is strongly recommended.
Launch VMware On the home page, click "Create new virtual machine" to bring up the dialog below:
Click "Next"
Make sure "Typical" is chosen and click Next Important Note: If you are installing directly to a physical drive or partition (ignore this tip if you don't know what this is, its an advanced option) choose the Custom option and when you get to the screen that deals with hard drives, set VMware to access a physical partition or disk
Choose Other as the Guest OS and choose Other for the version. Click Next
Note: There are several Guest OSes that you can choose for Mac OS X. The best are:
- Other , Other
- Linux , Other Linux
- Other , FreeBSD
- Windows NT (works well if you are getting ACPI errors but make sure your virtual hard drive images
are IDE, not SCSI)
Give the machine a name. Click Next Speed-up tip: Store the virtual machine in a partition or hard disk that is separate from the current partition/hard disk that you are currently using. This will make the virtual machine
somewhat faster.
Click "Use network address translation (NAT)" if you are using a official legal copy of OS x86 or "Use host-only networking" if you are using a hacked ISO image (for test purposes, of course :) to prevent Mac OS X from registering itself during installation

Choose a disk size (6GB is minimum). If you choose 6GB, you will have 1.5GB of space left after installation for your own programs. Any size is OK as long as you have the hard drive space. Check the "Allocate all disk space now" checkbox (not necessary, but it improves speed). Choose "Split disk into 2GB files" if you are putting the virtual machine on a FAT32 partition. Click Finish and wait till the virtual disk is created.

Click VM >> Settings


(click to enlarge)
Click on "Floppy" and click Remove (You don't need floppies for OS X)
Click on "Memory" and on the right, adjust the memory amount to about half your actual system memory.


(click to enlarge)
Click "CD-ROM (IDE 1..." and on the right, select your virtual image drive/physical drive from the drop-down menu. Click OK to return back to Home. Close VMware Workstation or Server. If you wish, you can click "Add" to add a USB Controller (not tested)
Step 4: Edit VMware config file Navigate to the folder where you placed your virtual machine Open the "VMware Configuration File" with Notepad Add the line: paevm="true" to the end of the file Note: For networking in 10.4.8, add the line ethernet0.virtualDev="e1000" to the file Note: Sometimes, the line scsi0.present="TRUE" won't work. Change it to scsi0.present="FALSE".
However, on the test machine, this was not required.
Speed-up tip: set the guestOS line to "guestOS = "darwin"
Save the file. The end result should look somewhat like this:


(click to enlarge)
Note: If you make any changes to the virtual machine in the VMware interface after editing the file, all changes will be lost
Step 5: Configure VM BIOS This is not exactly necessary, but it will make the VM a lot faster
Go back into VMware and click the green triangle to start your machine
Quickly click inside the VM window (this lets you control the VM)
Quickly tap F2 to enter the BIOS


(click to enlarge)Use the keyboard and Disable "Legacy Diskette A:"
Go into the Advanced tab >> I/O Device Configuration


(click to enlarge)
Disable all Serial ports, Parallel ports, and Floppy Disk controllers
Press F10 to save and exit. The machine will reboot.
Step 6: Partition/Format the hard drive If you have mounted the ISO/inserted the DVD, the machine should boot to the DVD.It prompts you to press any key to continue Mac OS X installation. Click inside the screen and press a key to start the installer
Note: If you are using a JaS 10.4.8 image without PPF1, the image will not boot in VMware. After a long log/script of commands, the friendly installer screen will come up telling you to choose a language. Choose a language and click the Arrow to Continue The DVD will prepare the installer and the main screen will come up In the Utilities menu, choose Disk Utility In Disk Utility, choose your VMware hard drive from the left. In the main area, click the Partition tab Set the "Volume Scheme" to one partition Give the partition a name Make sure the format is set to "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" Make sure all the hard drive space is used Click Partition, Partition


(click to enlarge)
Once the process is done, click the red X button to close Disk Utility and relaunch the installer Note: If you are using a JaS 10.4.8 image that is not patched with PPF2, the new partition will not be usable. Get a new image OR use a previous version image (10.4.7, etc.) to partition.At the main installer screen, click 'Continue' Choose you newly formatted virtual HD and click Continue again

(click to enlarge)
This part is a bit tricky: The Printer Drivers and the Hardware support are useless. You can install the Language Translations and Additional Fonts if you use a language other than English. You can install X11 if you want to (It lets you run Linux packages). Finally, choose the patch that is right for your CPU (AMD or Intel). Choose everything you need and click Install Wait for the installation to complete At the end, the virtual machine will restart.Note: If you get a Kernel stack error in VMware after installation, ignore it and click OK After the machine restarts, if all goes well, Mac OS X should boot! Here's a screenshot to prove it:

HOWTO: Juniper Olive using VMware
Posted by Ahsan Tasneem | 10:26 PM | How To, Juniper Networks, juniper olive, junOS, Vmware | 6 comments »I recently joined a new company, I have been asked to start certifying myself for Juniper Networks. My goal for next year is to become JNCIA, JNCIS & possibly JNCIP certified. Because I’ve already got allot of experience with the various protocols out there I don’t see getting the JNCIA & JNCIS certification to be an issue. For the JNCIP however, I need to really get my hands-on up to speed. This is why I decided to install Olives again, but this time by making use of VMware and one really big computer
I hope you’ll find this guide usefull, if it is ever found out there
Because JUNOS software is not freeware, I will not make my virtual Olives available for download. You should be working for a company with a Juniper Networks support-contract so you can download JUNOS from their website.
