Always wanted something from Lego Architecture series.</p>
Gonçalo Ribeiro<p>So I tried a few things, namely switching Virtualbox network modes. But I could not see packets between the VMs.</p><p>I imagine when traffic is between VMs <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Virtualbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Virtualbox</span></a> is not putting the packets in the TCP/IP stack where <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Wireshark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wireshark</span></a> on the host can see them when. Only when the traffic crosses to the host or the network beyond does Wireshark (or <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/tshark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tshark</span></a>) see it.</p><p>I don't want to capture traffic on the VMs themselves (having to install Wireshark or something else on Windows 98...).</p><p>So I searched around and found the article below in the Virtualbox wiki on network tracing.</p><p>You can essentially configure the NIC on each VM to capture all packets and log them to a pcap. So this is what I'll use.</p><p><a href="https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Network_tips" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">virtualbox.org/wiki/Network_ti</span><span class="invisible">ps</span></a></p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/games" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>games</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/pcgaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pcgaming</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/trains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trains</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LEGO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LEGO</span></a></p>
Gonçalo Ribeiro<p>Good news is the network of the VM works, with DHCP. I wasn't really sure if that was the case or not for Windows 98. So the VM boots up and gets an IP automatically.</p><p>Now, because I want to capture packets to reverse engineer the protocol, I've set up the VM in bridged mode so that 1) each VM gets its own IP that I can filter easily in captures 2) I can send packets to each VM from the host without having to sep up NAT traversals. </p><p>I've done this and VMs get IPs just fine. Then I launched <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Wireshark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wireshark</span></a>, pinged some host on the internet and I saw the ICMP traffic.</p><p>Then I pinged one VM from another... They pong just fine, but in the pcap... Nothing.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/games" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>games</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/pcgaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pcgaming</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/trains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trains</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LEGO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LEGO</span></a></p>

Gonçalo Ribeiro<p>I want to try the LAN mode between VMs and take a look at the protocol. There should be no encryption, so it should be easy to get a peek.</p><p>If the protocol is simple enough, I'm thinking it would be cool to inject trains into a map.</p><p>Regarding the international mode, I'm curious about the FQDN that was used, if it still resolves and if there's a server alive there.</p><p>If not, maybe we could reimplement the "International Post Office Sorting Computer". I don't think I will do it myself, but it would be cool. Maybe the actual code or executable is somewhere out there. Or LEGO or some former employee has it.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/games" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>games</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/pcgaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pcgaming</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/trains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trains</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LEGO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LEGO</span></a></p>
Gonçalo Ribeiro<p>When I was young I had a <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LEGO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LEGO</span></a> computer game called LEGO LOCO. It's a game where you can build a 2D LEGO city with train tracks running through it.

scheme<p>Habe mir heute die vier kleinen Sets aus der Edeka <a href="https://freiburg.social/tags/Klemmbaustein" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Klemmbaustein</span></a>|aktion geholt. Die Ergebnisse sind durchwachsen.</p><p>🔸 Teilequalität<br>- Die Klemmkraft ist überwiegend sehr gut, ich hatte allerdings eine braune 1×4-Plate, die ich mit den Fingern von der Plate darunter lösen konnte.<br>- Die Angusspunkte sind unterschiedlich. Bei manchen Teilen sind sie in einer Mulde in einer Noppe, bei anderen auf der Noppe erhaben und bei manchen Plates an der Seite. Das ist teilweise pro Teil anders. Beispielsweise habe ich jetzt schwarze 2×3 Plates, wo bei einigen der Angusspunkt auf, und bei anderen in der Noppe ist.<br>- Die Farbqualität ist beim Dunkelbraun witzigerweise hervorragend, beim Hellgrau dagegen schlecht. Beide Töne sind kompatibel zu <a href="https://freiburg.social/tags/Lego" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lego</span></a>.<br>- Große Teile sind oft verschrammt und zerkratzt. Die Glastüren haben zum Teil sogar echt lange und deutlich sichtbare Kratzer. Die Fliesen sind stark zerkratzt. Fliesen mit 1er Breite sind auch eher schlecht gegossen (Seiten vertikal konkav).<br>- Die Türen sind klapprig.</p><p>🔸 Sonderteile<br>- Die Tetrapaks aus dem Bedienthekenset sind 1×1 Bricks (modified) mit insgesamt 2⅔ Höhe. Es sind drei in dunkelblau und eins in weiß dabei. Die kann man vielleicht für Verzierungen an Dächern, Mauern, Zäunen oder Kaminen verwenden.<br>- Beim Frischeset ist ein Teil mehrfach in braun dabei, das an „Tile, Modified 1 x 2 with Bar Handle“ erinnert, aber hinten zu ist.<br>- Mehrere Sets enthalten ein 1×3 Panel in schwarz, wo die Seite oben nochmal einen Bogen drauf hat.<br>- Die sandfarbenen Slopes (1er Höhe) sind glatt und haben einen anderen Winkel als Dächer.<br>- Im Frischeset gibt es eine 1×1 Plate (modified) mit Noppe an der Seite und Negativnoppe oben, sowie eine 1×1 Plate (modified) mit Noppe unten (Baurichtungsumkehrer). Die werden aufeinander gesteckt, wodurch in erstgenanntem Teil zwei Noppen aufeinander stoßen. Daher lässt sich der Pfandautomat nicht richtig zusammensetzen. <a href="https://freiburg.social/tags/h%C3%A4h" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>häh</span></a><br>- Das Möhrengrün ist mit normalem Handle-Durchmesser in die Möhren gesteckt.<br>- Das Spray ist mit Handle.<br>- Die Brote haben unten Negativnoppen.<br>- Die Bananen haben oben einen Handle, sind in ihrem nutzbaren Winkel aber sehr eingeschränkt. Sie erinnern mich an Krallen/Klauen, können also vielleicht in Ungeheuern oder Kränen verwendet werden.<br>- Im Kassenset sind zwei transparente 2×2 Panels mit drei Seiten, die oben wellenförmig sind, enthalten.<br>- Kassenterminals<br>- Blauen, gebogenen Scheiben der Theken sind 1⅓+1 Noppe hoch.</p><p><a href="https://freiburg.social/tags/Klemmbausteine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Klemmbausteine</span></a> <a href="https://freiburg.social/tags/Klemmsteine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Klemmsteine</span></a> <a href="https://freiburg.social/tags/NichtLEGO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NichtLEGO</span></a> <a href="https://freiburg.social/tags/Blockz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blockz</span></a></p>
