Hamachi - not the fish...

[Lisa Kachold]

Advanced PLUG HackFest members JLaforge and SLofgren started using hamachi to test Backtrack3 features and functions together remotely, in a "Hack to Learn" way.

The PLUG December HackFest is a remote hamachi fest, allowing everyone to interact.

I like Hamachi very much; because it's easier to use than setting up a tun using ip:

Create ipip tunnel interface:


# ip tunnel add tun0 mode ipip \\
> remote 200.200.200.200 local 100.100.100.100 dev eth0

  
Set interface IP addresses:


# ifconfig tun0 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.252 \\
> pointopoint 10.0.0.2


Set interface MTU and bring interface up:


# ifconfig tun0 mtu 1500 up
And allows for network sharing to their server under linux or Windows or Mac.

We do recently run out of connections in the pluglabs network on hamachi, however.
