Forgot to add that it’s a transatlantic cruise

Ensure GigSky esim has service bars and set up as the primary data source and roaming set on. Prior to departure, turn off your T-Mobile service, then airplane mode may be toggled off without fear of crazy carrier data charges. Make sure you toggle off Wi-Fi , otherwise your phone will prioritize Wi-Fi for internet access over a cell service. If you don't purchase the cruise line internet package, the ship's Wi-Fi will still be available, but of course your phone will not see the internet! The only issues I had, when connected to GigSky internet data and it didn't work while at sea.... Wi-Fi was on...turn it off. Walking from one area of the ship to another.... and cell signal is lost....toggle Airplane mode on and off, to reestablish a signal....should happen automatically without doing this, but depends on phone and internal cell locations. The ship must be at least 12 miles from shore before the system turns on, however often times you can still get a land based signal within that range. Good luck.... A cruise plan will work anywhere on the Atlantic or Mediterranean Sea.

Thanks so much for your reply in your opinion do you think it’s worth it?

@@barbarasousa8303 For me yes, however, I am a bit of a tech nerd and enjoy this sort of thing. I don't know what your technical skills are, or patience levels when diagnosing cell phone issues. One person very close to me, would lose patience quickly and throw the whole thing overboard (including maybe me) for what I would consider a minor problem. If you buy a cruise ship internet package, at least you will have technical support while on board. If you can't get GigSky working, while at sea, you won't be able to contact their tech support, and the ship's tech staff aren't going to help you with it.

@@barbarasousa8303 ps....I would strongly suggest that you try it first at home. GigSky has a free 100mb trial for first time users. This will install an esim on your phone and allow you to learn the various set up routines.

😄 Linux is like the weight loss drug ads where they show happy people doing fun things. Linux is fun and easy! Then the announcer starts talking super fast about all the side effects that can come with the drug like headaches, nausea, rapid heart beat, fever, diarrhea, vomiting, seizures, death… Linux could also be a pain in the butt!!! With that being said, I still love Linux 🤓

Cool, glad the video was helpful!

Sorry to hear that but as stated in the video, the eSIM relies on the cruise ship having the Cellular-at-Sea service for the eSIM to connect to. Perhaps you can get a refund from the eSIM company since they were not able to use the service.

All MSC ships seem to have the Cellular at Sea service available according to their info. Sounds like a set up issue. Sorry I can't help without more info and probably too late at this point in any case.

You are welcome, glad you found it useful.

Its read only using FTK Imager. If you want to write, you will need to download specific drivers

@BlueMonkey4n6 thank you for your response. Which driver do you mean?

@Artstye4you drivers for whatever file system you want to write to.

interesting, tell us more! how does it mess up the drive? does it make it inoperable and you lose your data?

great explanation, I bet you its KWA. Thank you!

Excellent suggestions on the cluster size, I just did the default values that Windows uses as the starting point. I will add that to the list of possible future videos. Good points about the configuration of the computer and the entropy level of the drive. For this video, I was more focused on the difference between dd/E01 and NTFS/ExFAT so I figure a computer with a reasonable recent processor and enough RAM was sufficient. As for the source drive, I had it probably 80% filled with a mixture of data files (that lend well to compression) and video files (that wont compress).

thanks for the squids

Glad you found this useful. Dont forget to use the code in the video to get a discount. Enjoy your cruise!

Excellent questions. I would recommend that if you are newbie, you watch my video tutorial on the vi file editor program first so you know how to navigate and write a file. Otherwise, I would recommend using the nano program to edit the config file as that program is a LOT more intuitive. Hope that helps.

@ thank you!

That is an option but not all cellphones can become a WiFi hotspot. Glad your phone does

did you try to use modprobe to load wl into the kernel?

Thanks for the compliments and glad you found the videos useful. In terms of practice, here is what I have my class doing: 1. Boot Paladin on your forensic workstation and format a destination drive with NTFS and then do it again with ExFAT (for my Linux class I have them do ext4) 2. Boot the machine that you want to image with Paladin. Attach destination drive and perform these 3 types of imaging: 2a. Image to dd using 4GB segments and obtain a hash (MD5 or SHA1) 2b. Image to E01 using 4GB segments and compression and obtain a hash (MD5 or SHA1). Check that the hash matches the one when you imaged using dd. 2c. Perform a clone. Insert a USB thumbdrive into machine and use it for the output log. Once again check the hash to make sure it matches the one from the previous steps. Bonus: convert the clone image into an E01 image. Again always check the hash to ensure the image integrity. Not sure if this is what you are looking for but I hope it helps.

@ I’m a big visual learner. Do you think I could either sit in on one of your classes or watch a video on what you’re telling me, showing me how to do it? It’s just how I learn

@@BlueMonkey4n6 also, what should I put on the flash drive before inserting it into paladin? Or does it have to be a blank drive?

Different models of travel routers may have slightly different features but the basic steps should be the same: configure the router to connect to the ship WiFi, sign in to the captive portal, connect devices to router for Internet access. I’m just too cheap to buy a newer router otherwise I would demo what those routers look like. Have a great time on your cruises 🚢!!

@@BlueMonkey4n6 Thank you for the prompt response and the well wishes. In digging a bit deeper, I'm looking at the pending ban in the U.S. for the TP-Link routers and am taking a close look at the GL-MT3000 (Beryl AX) router as an alternative. Any feedback?

It's unclear how the "ban" will affect the gazillions of TP-Link routers already being used in the U.S. but as an alternative, the Beryl AX you mentioned as well as the other GL-iNet products of the Mango and Slate AX are all excellent routers. Really depends on what you are trying to do, how much you want to spend, and the size/weight you are willing to lug around. Do me a huge favor, if you can click on the links in the description for this video to buy the routers through Amazon, it will cost you nothing more but I get a few pennies as an affliate. Thank you!

@@BlueMonkey4n6 Once I decide on the travel router, I will be happy to support your efforts through an affiliate purchase

You need to be root to run dhclient so try doing: sudo dhclient. If that still doesnt work then perhaps you dont have dhclient installed on your machine. Try doing: sudo apt install isc-dhcp-client

Another great usage example. Thank you for adding to the comments!

Yes, the software does make a difference! I have speed tested using the command line (dd/ftkimager*) to create E01s and whatever Guymager is doing is faster than dd/ftkimager. * in case people dont know, Access Data FTK Imager has a linux command line version.

Absolutely. The main reason is the engineers and the amount of work they do on this or that tool. When you make a freeware, there are not so many test cases and performance testing done with various PC configurations, OSs and everything. Typically, a status of free software leads to less accountabiity and that leads to less development effort. So I would predict very different results for such imagers under different conditions. As opposed to that, commercial imagers are faster. Hardware imagers are way faster than anything else due to the fact that vendors have a very specific hardware. So the engineering team can focus on performance with a specific set of hardware and software and deliver the best value. You know, to some extent, it's like a PlayStation 5 which is highly optimized to run all the games.

Yup, you get what you pay for with Hardware Imaging boxes like the TX1.

The method you cited about using the phone first to connect is another valid way of connecting. That method is a bit more involved in my opinion that's why I recommend my method. The MAC cloning method has these steps: 1) log in to cruise network via phone and log out; 2) change MAC on router to match MAC on phone; 3) configure router to connect to ship WiFi 4) sign in to captive portal 5) all devices can now log into router The method I recommend has these steps: 1) log in to router network via phone 2) configure router to connect to ship WiFi 3) sign in to captive portal 4) all devices can now log into router To answer your question about the MAC that the ship will see, they will only see the MAC of the router and not of the devices behind it.

@@BlueMonkey4n6 thank you for the explanation... i shall try this on MSC Meraviglia in a few months time... i shall post updates when i come to it.. Thanks.

You are welcome. So glad it helped!

I have not tried but I highly doubt if this would work on a locked phone.

I am very curious to find how the Neo does, thank you.

Thank you for the compliment!! Thank you for watching!!

I think the Tableau devices are using some flavor of Android from what I recall

Thank you

thank you!

If your phone has the hotspot feature then yes, you can share the data via your phone.

@ Thank you for letting me know.

Thanks for the compliments on the video. As to your question on GigSky working on the Queen Anne, I dont have an answer for you since I dont work for GigSky. But you might want to ask Cunard if the Queen Anne has the Cellular At Sea service as that's what GigSky needs to function. Enjoy your cruise!

Glad you like it. Thanks for the comment!

Yes, it can work that way. But I like to use it for the security features and also ease of setup. So when I am going from hotel to hotel, I just need to setup the router at each hotel and all my other devices just need to log into the router and they dont need to be setup each time.

ah, that's a good question and I may have glossed over that. In my case, I setup an internal share with using Snapdrop (it's like AirDrop but for all system, not just Apple machines). But you could very well have used a thumb drive to transfer the keyfiles from the LXC container to other machines.

unfortunately as far as I know, you will need the password to remove the password. Otherwise you can do a secure erase which will remove the password but you will also lose your data.

You should not need to clone your phone's MAC address. Only if the captive portal only allows one device to sign in and you already used your phone to do that.

@@BlueMonkey4n6 Thanks

You're welcome 😊

Hello, you have a really great practical usage for the travel router, thank you for sharing. You are correct that once device A has set up the router to connect to the captive portal, device B connecting to the router should not need to deal with the captive portal anymore.

@BlueMonkey4n6 ok cool!! Thanks you 🙌

I had it in my luggage along with my non-surge protector power strip. I am not trying to hide anything from the ship. I know some ships ban these devices and I am not trying to skirt the rules.

ok, I will put that on the list of future videos to make. Thanks for your interest.

Yes, I use a battery pack to power the router and put both in a pouch and was able to walk around the ship with the wife and we both maintained connection.

yup, the more data you use, the more it will cost. But it is a good solution if you just need to keep in touch with emails and other tasks that doesnt require lots of data transmission.

@ What would be great is if Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile could install native 5G coverage on the ships, free to anyone with a plan. With the speeds and capacity of Starlink, this seems possible

@@davidempire4874 I am sure it's technologically possible but I think the telecom companies only care about how to milk more $$ from their customers 😁

@@BlueMonkey4n6 But they could make more money from this as it could be a selling point

Hi, going on a 14 day cruise in March. Very interested in gig sky and thank you for the promo code. My question is that once GigSky is activated do we put on airplane mode and turn off cellular data on our phones so we don’t incur increase costs? I’ve heard of people leaving a cruise ship with a $5000 cell phone bill and that’s something I want to avoid.

My Proxmox server is set to restart upon reboot and then restart the various LXCs so they will keep running without human intervention.

Glad it was useful, thanks for watching!

The image that I used was from the Autopsy training so you can take that class and get the image from them (I dont think I can redistribute their images without authorization). You can also look at downloading images from digitalcorpora.org or cfreds.nist.gov which has a great variety of images from various CTFs and challenges. Happy Hunting.

It should although every time you reboot you will need to redownload and install the drivers unless you change your boot ISO
