Some folks wrote a set of tools for autodiscovery, channel changing, and recording from the Hava for linux. Interestingly enough, they built without complaint on my Intel Mac running OSX. Here's the big scoop - the record tool allows the user to specify the quality of the stream (there is a feature for the Hava's autonegotiation, but I gather it's suboptimal), and allows you to send to stdout. They're using MPlayer in particular. The quality parameter runs from 0x00 to 0x50 but at 0x30 it's doing 8 Mb/s. I'm thinking that's about as HD as you're going to get. Anyway I thought you folks might like to know. http://sourceforge.net/projects/havafun/ The Internet provides…

I know someone who runs a password cracker for security analysts built on Amazon EC2 instances. Is the hash somewhere on this site? His service might make quick work of it. Failing that, we won't have to wait long. The current news with GPU-based cracking is that anything under 7 characters only takes seconds.

Pretty much everything I learned about the hava is in the blog. There were a bunch of settings in config files that could be changed from the command line through the serial port but I don't remember if the p2p port was one of them. -Hank My havas are stored away in another town so I can’t check.

I wonder if you could do some witchcraft with the router to achieve a similar goal?

There's no room or need for the Hava in the RV so I stopped working on it. If I ever get a bigger RV or move back into a house I'll probably dig out the Hava and take a look at it again but don't hold your breath, I like living in the RV. :^) When I finally stopped the password cracking program it still hadn't found the password. I left the blog up so others would have access to what I had learned. The hash looks like a standard Linux password hash. I couldn't find anything in the source code that would indicate that they had changed anything to do with the passwords so any program that cracks Linux passwords should crack it.

There is a free and not-free(if you buy the low end vulkano) on the app store. Perhaps on the JB iphone you could change the binary to work with the old p2p network/ports for the hava and breathe new life.

The default config for the Titanium only serves DHCP on the wifi interface, the wired interface isn't supposed to serve DHCP. If you had serial console access I could tell you how to turn it off, there's a setting in /config/ifcfg-eth and /config/ifcfg-wifi that controls all the settings for the network. You can even assign a static IP to it. I’ll have to try the Vulkano client for windows and see what it does.

My Hava isn't hooked up to a video source currently so I can't test that. I did try adding /500 to the rtsp url in vlc and there wasn't an error so maybe it still works. Someone who has a Hava hooked up will have to try it. Interesting, I hadn’t heard that. My Hava isn’t hooked up to a video source currently so I can’t test that.
