Uncertain Binary Thoughts

ION proxy login problem

a few days ago ION (WiFi provider in Manipal University) started an ISA based proxy using NTLM authentication, which according to them was a client install!!! some people were facing problem with it, like their browsers were asking for authentication (login) again and again, and repositories were not working on Linux.
So here is a simple screencast with solution for this problem it works great in Linux (esp. Fedora) i have also included configuring yum here, if someone wants to use apt-get (debian/ubuntu) they can do

export http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:5865

Ok coming to the main point, go and download http://sourceforge.net/projects/ntlmaps/ and then watch the video here
People on windows can install python from here and then follow the steps
ION proxy problem solved
Note:- If You face any problem please post back here….

Pratik Anand February 16th, 2009 at 5:41 pm

Thanks a lot……

My ugrade from 8.04 to 8.10 was stuck because of this thing, but now it will work….

Ankur Shrivastava February 16th, 2009 at 7:55 pm

@Sudhanshu @Pratik @Soumen
i am glad to be of some help

@dev d (?) @ravi
no you cant use torrents using this its simply allows you to use whatever you are using without have to enter any password again and again, this also allows you to use softwares which cannot use NTLM like Download Managers, Chat Clients etc…

Varun February 16th, 2009 at 9:34 pm

What is the equivalent of yum.conf in ubuntu because it surely isnt /etc/apt/sources.list .I tried adding the proxy line to this and my package manager stopped working so has to delete that line.
Thanks
Varun

Ankur Shrivastava February 16th, 2009 at 10:09 pm

@Varun
add

Acquire::http::Proxy “http://10.49.0.13:5865″;
Acquire::ftp::Proxy “http://10.49.0.13:5865″;

to /etc/apt/apt.conf
tell me if that works……

Varun February 16th, 2009 at 11:14 pm

nope…

Ankur Shrivastava February 16th, 2009 at 11:47 pm

@Varun
will have check with someone having Ubuntu will tell you asap

Varun February 17th, 2009 at 12:22 am

logically speaking why is it 10.49.0.13 Acquire::http::Proxy “http://10.49.0.13:5865″;
Acquire::ftp::Proxy “http://10.49.0.13:5865″;

I tries with
Acquire::http::Proxy “http://127.0.0.1:5865″;
Acquire::ftp::Proxy “http://127.0.0.1:5865″;

which didnt work either.

“export http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:5865 ”
Where do you add this?

Ankur Shrivastava February 17th, 2009 at 1:32 am

@Varun
oops that 127.0.0.1 and not 10.49.0.13, you just type export http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:5865
which sets http_proxy for that particular session do any apt-get after that and they will surely work, dont have much info about apt-get have been using fedora from a long long time….
will check and tell you tomorrow…

Payod February 20th, 2009 at 1:17 pm

i m nt able to use the script properly with ubuntu 8.1

i follow the video but then at the end where do we put
export http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:5865 ???

Vidyut February 20th, 2009 at 4:58 pm

i got disconnected at around 12 last night and was being asked for my user id and password again and again.
will this also help with that?

Ankur Shrivastava February 20th, 2009 at 10:10 pm

@Payod
when you open the terminal type
export http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:5865
and it will be set for your current session
or
you can also add it to ~/.bashrc
but in both the cases ap-get will work on the command line, Synaptic wont work
I dont have Ubuntu on my system so have not tested Ubuntu on ION, but i have seen command line apt-get work over ION

@Vidyut
Disconnection Last night was what is believed to be disconnection of Internet services after 12, i am sorry i dont think it will work

Sahil Narain February 21st, 2009 at 5:06 pm

” a few days ago ION (WiFi provider in Manipal University) started an ISA based proxy using NTLM authentication, which according to them was a client install”

This was exactly my reaction when they just entered a manual proxy on my system. I was like, what about the client authentication module, and they were all like, this is it, chill.

anyway, the problem using torrents is that we are denied connections to DHT. Since we are not able to log in to nodal points, the torrent does not connect to any seeds/peers. Is there any way to get around that ?

Ayan March 1st, 2009 at 12:58 pm

how does one start using p2p softwares and torrent downloaders now that ION has blockd downloads?

Ankur Shrivastava March 2nd, 2009 at 3:13 pm

@Sahil and Ayan
Dont worry we are working on all sorts of weird things, something will be out soon
any suggestions are welcomed

after saving the .cfg after making the necessary changes…what should i do in “windows”????

Lonewolf March 8th, 2009 at 1:01 pm

I wanted to ask 1 thing. Lets say I started any download at 00:23, but d net is supposed 2 b disconnected after 00:30. But to my surprise, the download continued even after 00:30, though I couldn’t opwn any new page due to annoying pop-up asking my username n passwrd. So, how is that possible? Can’t we exploit this loophole?

Ankur Shrivastava March 8th, 2009 at 1:45 pm

@anurag
you just need to double click on main.py file

@lonewolf
well what it seems is that they does not allow logins after 12 but the existing connections remain active so well if keep a connection alive you can use that all the time….

arindra March 9th, 2009 at 6:34 pm

Is there a way out to tackle the 12:30 “time-out” thing ? as u said that the existing connections can be kept alive after the time limit , this definitely works for downloads and updates but for general surfing , can’t there be a way out ?

well i dont know if ur familiar with microsoft so i am takin a chance 2 tell u abt a intrestin thin!
its a known fact that we use microsoft isa!(i am considerin a small eg)
u must have heard about zune(media player by microsoft)it cant be used as a external hard drive with out a regedit.after editin the registry one needs to sync a large file using zune software the sync time=time u can add or delte files on hd!
same thin with ion…if u use a download manager nd if u start it b4 12 it wont stop…i just saw it on a frenz lappy!
so y not try it on the browsin thin!

hope u got me! tat was long post…sry if i wasted ur time

mk July 19th, 2009 at 12:08 am

ps:best thins in world r alwayz 4 free!……

Ankur Shrivastava July 25th, 2009 at 1:20 am

@MK
ya a lot of people who use ION told that to me, according to me what happens in, as NTLM is a challenge based authentication system, once your connection is established nothing will interrupt it and which means as long as your connections remain active, downloads will work, so if you start your HTTP downloads at around 12:00 it will work till morning if it is a huge file, which should be helpful….
