Captive portal... Last minut service

Captive portal is a PFsense tool the gives you the oppetunaty to insert a Login page long before you reatch the "Internet".

" The captive portal technique forces an HTTP client on a network to see a special web page (usually for authentication purposes) before using the Internet normally. A captive portal turns a Web browser into an authentication device.

Summary of Iteration 4

The fourth and finall iteration of the project, did't go as good as expected. Several tasks were planned at the beggining of the iteration, and some of them were with an idea of further splitting in oreder that each group member had 1 more task after completing the vital tasks. Unfortunatelly due to some various problems with the tasks, not all of them were splitted and accomplished. The final demonstration didn't go too good, due to some missunderstandings, but the main idea of the project was covered and demonstrated. Now the group is procceeding with documenting the whole project.

PFsense and Squid fail

NICE and WTF

Gallery section for website

The gallery section for the 2 Foot's website is working. After going through some various problem with installing a software called "Plogger", the group picked up another one, called "Gallery". In order to have it up and running on the webserver, a mysql database was created and a phpmyadmin was installed for easier managment of it. The "Gallery" provides the users with the ability to go through different directories with pictures, comment on them, rate them and much more. The aministrator can create and edit directories, manage users and decide on security level.

Below you can see a print screen of the main page of the directory, where you can select the album you want to watch:
