How to secure (encrypt) CSP connectors & user xml

How to secure (encrypt) CSP connectors & user xml

The connectors.xml &users.xml can be stored anywhere, as long as it can be accessed via url (e.g file://, http, https, ftp). Optionally, the list can also be blowfish encrypted using the included tool fishenc.jar (found in lib, java -jar fishenc.jar). If encrypted, tracker-key must be correctly set.
In the below example we are going to encypt connectors.xml & users.xml

cd /usr/local/csp/lib
java -jar fishenc.jar /usr/local/csp/config/connectors.xml /usr/local/csp/config/connector.enc 12345 <!-- where 12345 is your tracker key - (password) -->
java -jar fishenc.jar /usr/local/csp/config/users.xml /usr/local/csp/config/users.enc 12345 <!-- where 12345 is your tracker key - (password) -->
Using any ftp program copy the files connectors.xml & users.xml to a different PC rather than your CSP server, then delete the files connectors.xml & users.xml from your CSP server.
Finally update your proxy.xml with:
<user-source name="localusers">
<user-file-url>file:///usr/local/csp/config/users.enc</user-file-url>
<user-file-key>12345</user-file-key>
and
<connector-file-url>file:///usr/local/csp/config/connector.enc</connector-file-url>
<connector-file-key>12345</connector-file-key>
Enjoy..

HOWTO: Compile OSCAM on Raspberry Pi, Dockstar or similar NAS running Debian

HOWTO: Compile OSCAM on Raspberry Pi, Dockstar or similar NAS running Debian


1. Preparations:

Update apt-list and install required packes:



Code:
apt-get update 
apt-get -y install apt-utils dialog usbutils
apt-get -y install gcc g++ wget
apt-get -y install build-essential subversion libpcsclite1 libpcsclite-dev
apt-get -y install libssl-dev cmake make 
apt-get -y install libusb-1.0-0-dev nano

If you need PCSC support:

Code:
apt-get install pcscd pcsc-tools


2. Get OSCAM source
Now switch to /usr/src, create a directory for oscam and download sources:


Code:
cd /usr/src
svn co http://www.oscam.to/svn/oscam/trunk oscam-svn

3. Compile OSCAM
Now compile oscam for your machine:

Code:
cd oscam-svn
mkdir build
chmod 755 build
cd build
cmake -DWEBIF=1 .. (those 2 dots are required. THIS IS IMPORTANT)
make

NOTE: If you get Errors while compiling e.g.

Code:
--   no libusb 1.0 found. No smartreader support
See the hint at the bottom before proceeding

Now we got our oscam binary
We're gonna move it to /var/local

Code:
cd /usr/src/oscam-svn/build
ls
there should be a file called "oscam"
So lets copy it:

Code:
cp oscam /var/local/
cd /var/local
chmod 755 oscam

4. Make OSCAM start at system startup:
We're adding oscam to rc.local to make it start at system boot.


Code:
nano /etc/rc.local
Now add

Code:
/var/local/oscam &
right above line

Code:
exit 0
Oscam will start everytime the system boots up from now on

5. configs and logfiles
We still need to get some config files.
By default oscam looks in /usr/local/etc for these file

Code:
cd /usr/local/etc
ls
There should be at least 3 files: oscam.user, oscam.server, oscam.conf
If not, copy your configs here

Now we need to create some logfiles and make them writable:


Code:
cd /var/local
mkdir oscam
chmod 755 oscam
cd oscam
mkdir cw
chmod 755 cw
nano oscamuser.log (enter a space and save file)
nano oscam.log (enter a space and save file)
chmod 755 oscamuser.log
chmod755 oscam.log
Thats it

6. Start oscam
You can now run oscam to check if it works

Code:
cd /var/local
./oscam


HINT: Oscam compile error: No smartreader support:
If you get Errors while compiling e.g.

Code:
--   no libusb 1.0 found. No smartreader support
go to /usr/src, get libusb 1.0.6 from sourceforge and compile for your system:

Code:
cd /usr/src/
mkdir libusb
chmod 755 libusb
cd libusb
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/libusb/libusb-1.0/libusb-1.0.6/libusb-1.0.6.tar.bz2
tar xjf libusb-1.0.6.tar.bz2
make
install
 
After make install of libusb, start over with compiling oscam

Alternative method to backup Linux Ubuntu / Debian Server in 5 Easy Steps

Alternative method to backup Linux Ubuntu / Debian Server in 5 Easy Steps.

From time to time you might want to make big changes to your server, changes that might involve risking server stability. You might also want try another Operating System (Switch from Debian to Ubuntu or vice versa) or upgrade from 32Bit OS to 64 Bit OS. Most of these tasks involve the risk of big downtime. I am going to outline a few simple steps to keep downtime to an absolute minimum no matter how big the Upgrade or problem. This Tutorial might seem a bit long winded but it is aimed at the complete novice. After you have done this once, the whole process will take no more than 5 minutes.

Tools you will Need:

a)…Hiren’s Boot DVD 15.1 Restored Edition V 2.0 (Not the genuine version)
Click on the link below to open up a google search window with results for the Torrent file we need (If you wish, you can change “KAT” at the end to your preferred torrent site)
Google
Make sure it is the restored edition, this edition includes all the commercial software that you don’t get with the official Hiren’s Boot DVD.

b)… Blank DVD

c)… USB Key or portable Hard Drive to store the Backup’s on. (I use 8GB USB Key)


Step 1 (Burning the DVD)

Within the folder you will find the “hbcd-15.1-Restored-V2.0-dvd-proteus.iso”. Insert your Blank DVD & burn this iso to a blank DVD with your favourite DVD burning software. (I use windows Disk burner included in Win7, Just right click on the file & click burn disk image) You now have your Hirens Boot DVD.


Step 2 (Creating the backup)

For this step you will need a keyboard, mouse & monitor connected to your Server.


a)… Put the DVD into your server & click CTR+ALT+DEL to restart Server

b)… Press F12 at boot logo Screen to select Boot Device (Might be different on different Systems)

c)… From Boot Device Menu Select CD\DVD Drive & hit enter (This will boot your server from the DVD)



d)… From the first screen, select Windows (Mini-XP, Mini7, MRI)



e).. From the next screen select Windows XP



f)… When the Mini XP OS loads, click on the Start button and HBCD



g)… From the HBCD select programs / Backup / Acronis / True image Home



h).. When Acronis True image Home loads, click Backup My Disks



i).. From the next screen, Select your Ubuntu / Debian hard drive



j).. From the new (Browse for location) window select where you want to store the backup, then in the File name box type a name for the Backup image. I usually use todays date followed by a description of the backup.
e.g.(2012-07-05 Ubuntu 10.04 Oscam Cccam)



k).. Select Create new backup archive and click Next



That’s it, your Backup has started, it should take no more than 1-2 minutes.


(Restoring the Backup)


Step 3 (Wiping the existing Linux Disk)

Follow Steps (a) through (f) from Step 2 above to start Hirens Boot CD then follow steps below

i).. From the HBCD select programs / Partition Boot MBR / Par4tition Wizard



ii).. From the Partition Wizard Window, right click on your Linux Disk and Select Delete all Partitions



iii).. Next click Apply up the top left and Close down Partition Wizard





Step 4 (Restoring Backup to Wiped Disk)

i).. From the HBCD select programs / Backup / Acronis / True image Home



ii).. When Acronis True image Home loads, click Recover My Disks



iii) Browse to the backup you want to restore and click OK



iv).. Click Next on this screen



v).. Select Recover whole disks and partitions and click Next



vi).. Select Disk 1 and make sure to select all partitions below it and click Next




That is the restore process started, again it should take no longer than 2 minutes.

Step 5 Reboot into restored Disk

1).. Remove the DVD
2).. Unplug the USB Backup drive/Key
3).. Click Start / Reboot

That’s it, your Linux System has been restored to the backed up image.

PELIS A LA CARTA ( Spanish idiom for Videos On Demand )

PELIS A LA CARTA ( Spanish idiom for Videos On Demand )

PELIS A LA CARTA ( Spanish idiom for Videos On Demand )

Another VOD which is still in the making which was originally setup for dreambox but this one considers our Non-English speaking friends also:

PELIS A LA CARTA ( Spanish idiom for Videos On Demand )Version 3.2.12

It links to Spanish,Italian and English sites.

Although initially it was created for Dreambox , the images below were taken from my Vu+ UNO

I have made an IPK so you don´t have to worry about looking for folders!

The procedure is the same for any IPK , FTP to /tmp and install ipk package.
or directly from linuxsat-support addons server in TSpanel.

Do a HARD system reboot not just GUI or some audio might falter.


Always consider that the film/movie/show/documentary is only available if it is kept uploaded and the site link is up-to-date.
Motion Flow depends on several factors ,i.e ; user internet downloading speed/connection ,server uploading speed/connection,etc...

Here are two examples :

Documentaries


Tv shows



Some images may require added plugins for avi , flv or rtsp which I have included the IPKs
If you want to manually install the folder then Ftp the complete folder to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions then hard reboot box, or directly from linuxsat-support addons server in TSpanel.

Cron configuration instruction to the receiver of Enigma2

Cron configuration instruction to the receiver of Enigma2

Cron configuration instruction to the receiver of Enigma 2

Hi
Enigma 2 Receivers facilities are superb and the same potential that I know many of these capabilities.
Cron is the name of one of these capabilities.

We have a program or command in a Cron job to run automatically provide a point of time.
Now that our program is a shell script that I rebooted the server, or even instead of a command to give, For example, "every seven days, a date that represents the time and date command is run.

All this is done by Cron.
Cron service always runs in the Background and permanently.

Cron is the sex of my files in your /etc/cron.d/ is located, to understand this in your server address enter the following command in SSH:
Code:
ls -la cron
Cron service always addresses /etc/cron.d and /var/spool/cron/ checks.

How to install and create Cronjobs:
Code:
crontab -e
Using Cronjobs:
Code:
 1 2 3 4 5 /path/to/command arg1 arg2
or
Code:
1 2 3 4 5 /root/script.sh
Description:

1 minutes (0-59)
2: Time (0-23)
3 days (0-31)
4: Month (0-12 [12 == December])
5: Day of week (0-7)

Command: /path/to/command/ - Script or command must be run.

View all Crontab jobs:
Code:
crontab -l crontab -u username -l
Clear CronTab Jobs:
Code:
crontab -r crontab -r -u username
Contents of a file /etc/crontab/:
Code:
   SHELL=/bin/bash     PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin     MAILTO=root     HOME=/      # run-parts     01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly     02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily     22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly     42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly


Description directories:
Code:
/etc/crontab file.
All scripts that want to run here and leave their name in the /etc/cron.d/ are.
Code:
/etc/cron.daily/
All scripts that are executed only once a day:
Code:
/etc/cron.hourly/
All scripts that are executed each only once per hour:
Code:
/etc/cron.monthly/
All scripts that are executed at once:
Code:
/etc/cron.weekly/
How to use this directory to run our script?

We want the script with clean.cache delete the cache will run every 10 days. This script file in /etc/cron.daliy/ put.
So we have a file with this address: /etc/cron.daily/clean.cache/ that its contents are as follows:
Code:
    #!/bin/bash     # A sample shell script to clean cached file from lighttpd web server     CROOT=”/tmp/cachelighttpd/”     DAYS=10     LUSER=”lighttpd”     LGROUP=”lighttpd”      # start cleaning     /usr/bin/find ${CROOT} -type f -mtime +${DAYS} | xargs -r /bin/rm      # if directory deleted by some other script just get it back     if [ ! -d $CROOT ]     then     /bin/mkdir -p $CROOT     /bin/chown ${LUSER}:${LGROUP} ${CROOT}     fi


How to backup Cronjob Started:
Code:
crontab -l > /backup/cron/cronjobs.bakup crontab -u username -l > /backup/cron/cronjobs_username.bakup
I hope to be useful.

Tutorial : Lock smargo card reader to specific usb port


To fix smargos on specific ports you have to load smargos with 1.5 firmware.
When you compile oscam on Yr pc You have also a small bin called list_smargo. Give this bin chmod 755 and insert the smargos (as much as You want) in Yr pc.
Run list_smargo and on terminal you have:

Looking for smartreader with an out endpoint = 0x82 :
bus 003, device 002 : 0403:6001 Smartreader (Device=003:002 EndPoint=0x82 insert in oscam.server 'Device = Serial:Reader 6CD3C34')
bus 003, device 003 : 0403:6001 Smartreader (Device=003:003 EndPoint=0x82 insert in oscam.server 'Device = Serial:Reader 3A0E6AB')
bus 008, device 002 : 0403:6001 Smartreader (Device=008:002 EndPoint=0x82 insert in oscam.server 'Device = Serial:Reader 878FB20')
bus 008, device 003 : 0403:6001 Smartreader (Device=008:003 EndPoint=0x82 insert in oscam.server 'Device = Serial:Reader C2AC705'

I.e each smargo has now a serial number of its own.

In oscam server use this syntax in reader part:

protocol = smartreader
device = Serial:Reader C2AC705

and bind any card you want
do the rest for other cards and now You have fixed smargos and the cards and they never mix even if on restart or changing them from pc to pc.

How to "Oscam check script"

How to "Oscam check script"

Thanks arber for the script, i have made ipk file for BlackHole image, to restart EMU at 8am and run oscamcheck script every 10 minutes.

FTP to /tmp > Green button > Yellow button > Manual Install IPK Packages

You can test the script is working by telnet command, killall -9 oscam wait a few minutes and check var/log/oscam_restart_log.

You should get process was not working, which means the script is working and oscam was restarted.

Enjoy..

ecmwhitelist - What is it? How do I maintain it?

ecmwhitelist - What is it? How do I maintain it?

ecmwhitelist - What is it? How do I maintain it?

OSCam has a reletively new feature called ecmwhitelist. What this feature does is allow a user to define valid ECM lengths a particula card, therefore blocking anything unusual in length. A lot of people see this feature as a way to stop providers blocking cards, as it prevents anything unusual reaching it.

This whitelist goes in oscam.server in the appopriate reader entry for your local card. The first part defines the CAID, then after the @ you have your ident, and then after the colon (:) you have your allowed ECM hex lengths. If your card has multiple CAID/Idents, then just add another entry, making sure each entry is separated by a semicolon (;)
Code:
ecmwhitelist = 0500@042400:52,57
The above is the entry I have for my JSC Sports card, which is being read in OSCam. Not too long ago, it was a bit different as below;
Code:
ecmwhitelist = 0500@042400:2F,2A
I found today that my card wasn't clearing channels. I eventually discovered this was why.

Problem. Sometimes, the length of the ECM can change. The provider will sometimes tweak things. You want to save your card from being murdered, but the provider has changed something, and you can't watch your channels anymore.

Solution. Quite simple really, you need to know where you get the information from to obtain the hex code that describes the length of the ECM. If you are running OSCam Web Interface, then all you need to do is look at a line of information. This is from JSC Sports +8 The following information will be in your log files, but I prefer to read it straight from the status page of the Web Interface.

Code:
2012/02/04 23:38:12 ABC123 c jsc (0500&042400/20FC/52:9827): found (303 ms) by upper_slot
The above tells me that the hex length of the ECM is 52 (as highlighted in red). I now know that I can add that to the ecmwhitelist. I also discovered a length of 57, so I added both, and so far that is working.

Knowing this allows you to build your own lists. I am still not so sure about these supposed killer ECMs or EMMs, but I do know that it is good to be restrictive, but being restrictive sometimes blocks things out, so if you ever see a channel not clearing on your card that should be, as well as your services, check the ECM whitelist against the ECM on your OSCam log, because that could be what has changed!

This Tutorial is designed to help load CSP from start to finish up and running

I will split posts to section out each part required.

Question, What do you need for CSP ???

Answer, Well for this Tutorial you will need a Linux based PC, ie Debian or Ubuntu,
also another emu already loaded such as newcs or oscam ( This is Required to get your local Card operational.)


CSP runs in a Java Environment and for the newer updated versions Sun Java6 so lets get that installed first.

Easy install of oscam on Enigma2 ( mips-tuxbox ) based STB .

More info at this link ~ Easy install of oscam on Enigma2 ( mips-tuxbox ) based STB .

[TUTORIAL] Easy install of OScam on Enigma2 (mips-tuxbox) based STB without the need of any third party plugin or SoftCam Manager pre-installed.

Goal:

Install OSCam on a STB running Enigma2 (mips-tuxbox plateform) without the need of another plugin or a softcam manager.

This way of working should work for almost any E2 image, there will be no integration with any SoftCam Manager but we will install a very good plugin dedicated to OScam, which will allows you to control the OScam status and even restart it: OScamStatus.

Pre-requisite:

- a linux Enigma2 based STB on which you can run OScam in its mips-tuxbox version (to be able to use the pack like it is)
- your stb should have an internal card reader referenced by /dev/sci0
- being able to connect to your STB in telnet and FTP (with DCC or any other program)
- being able to follow and type some simple commands or being able to do cut and paste :-)
- we consider that your STB has no other running softcam before following this tutorial (typically on a brand new E2 image installation). If another softcam is running, it can prevent OScam from running properly.


Installation:

Take the pack attached to this tutorial (easy-oscam.tgz).
Transfer the pack in the folder /tmp of your E2 STB by FTP.

Connect via telnet and type the following commands (or even better make cut and paste) the cd / at the very beginning is really important don't skip it:

Code:
cd /
Code:
tar -xvzf /tmp/easy-oscam.tgz
Code:
/tmp/oscam-install.sh
Your STB will make a full reboot.

Now you have:

- OScam installed on your STB in the folder /usr/bin and the configuration files are in /var/tuxbox/config
- OScam will autostart when you reboot your STB.
- OScam is active in dvbapi mode so it is self sufficien, no need for any other softcam to run.
- The web interface of OScam is accessible from http://ip_address_of_receiver:16001 (Login: username password: password)
- The internal card reader /dev/sci0 is enabled
- The plugin Oscam Status release 0.41-r0 is installed


With the plugin OScam Status you can control the status and even restart your OScam, no need to any SoftCam Manager integration specific for each image.
It should appears in your Plugins list. If you change the login / password of the OScam webif, don't forget to change it too in the Oscam Status plugin otherwhise it won't work anymore.

Good to know:

The OScam executable is installed into the folder /usr/bin
The OScam configuration files are placed into the folder /var/tuxbox/config

If you want to test a newer version of OScam you just need to:

- Copy the new executable version (we will call it: The_New_Name_of_the_new_version) into the /usr/bin folder.

Go in telnet and type:

Code:
cd /usr/bin
Code:
killall oscam
Code:
rm oscam
Code:
ln -s  The_New_Name_of_the_new_version oscam
Code:
chmod 755 oscam
Code:
sync
Code:
sync
Code:
reboot -f

The main difference from the old one is supporting the large size image more than 48MB.

Please see the detailed explanation of update as below.

Unzip the solo_cfe_2.0_usb.zip to USB stick. (There should be /vuplus/solo/cfe_cfe_auto.bin)
Insert USB stick into the USB port of solo and power on the box.
It takes just a few secs to update.

LCD skins VUplus Ultimo

LCD skins VUplus Ultimo

Heres my skin_user.xml mod!

If a picon exists for a channel, it is displayed....if there is no picon then just the text for the channel name is displayed,

I've removed the clock and increased the length of the program name to avoid clipping and scrolling!

WIP of course! just replace the skin_user.xml file in /etc/enigma2/ and picon_default.png in your piconlcd path!

How to setup Vu+ with VBox II DiSEqC 1.2 Positioner.

If your VBox II already has the satellite positions stored and your changing from an old receiver to Vu+ then follow this procedure.

Write down your VBox II satellite position numbers. These are the numbers displayed on the front of the VBox II when moving to a
specific satellite position. These position numbers can also be found in your old receivers motor setup menu.

Example lets say...
Position 1 on VBox II = Astra 19e
Position 2 on VBox II = Eutelsat W2 16e
Position 3 on VBox II = Hotbird 13e


You get the idea...

First send the dish to Astra 19e using Vbox II.

On Vu+ Remote Press Menu
Select Setup Press OK
Select Service Searching Press OK
Select Tuner configuration Press OK
Select Tuner A Press OK

Now set Configuration Mode to Advanced. Use Left or Right keys on remote to select.

Code:
Configuration Mode: Advanced Satellite: Astra 19e LNB: 1 DiSEqC mode: 1.2
Scroll down to botton of the page with the down arrow on remote.

Stored position: 001

Press OK to store.

OK that's Astra 19e setup now to setup Eutelsat W2 16e

Now send the dish to Eutelsat 16E using Vbox II.

Select Setup Press OK
Select Service Searching Press OK
Select Tuner configuration Press OK
Select Tuner A Press OK

Code:
Configuration Mode: Advanced Satellite: Eutelsat W2 16e LNB: 2 DiSEqC mode: 1.2
Scroll down to botton of the page with the down arrow on remote.

Stored position: 002

Press OK to store.

OK that's Eutelsat W2 16e setup now to setup Hotbird 13e

Now send dish to Hotbird using Vbox II

Select Setup Press OK
Select Service Searching Press OK
Select Tuner configuration Press OK
Select Tuner A Press OK

Code:
Configuration Mode: Advanced Satellite: Hotbird 13e LNB: 3 DiSEqC mode: 1.2
Scroll down to botton of the page with the down arrow on remote.

Stored position: 003

Press OK to store.

You get the idea, now repeat for the rest of the satellites and your done.

This is enough to get you started, the fun starts learning the rest.
