Typing speed tests

Yesterday's "party" prompted me to do some drills of typing in order to improve my accuracy. :-)

Results are the following on a random acceptable, but not new keyboard in our lab:
  1. A simple single sentence test without much caps: 70
  2. A large paragraph (about one minute) of well-balanced text: 62(2), 66(1), 70(0), 66(1)
  3. Crazy phrases (two sentences each): 61(0), 67(0), 66(0), 69(0), 74(0), 70(0), 62(0), 63(0), 77(0), 65(1), 63(0), 79(0), 114(0), 56(0), 76(0), 61(0), 61(0), 70(0), 65(0), 57(0), 73(0), 87(0), 79(0), 77(0), 62(0), , 72(0), 72(0)
  4. Random letters (59 characters): 38(0), 39(0), 49(0), 45(0), 40(0), 39(0), 39(0), 36(0)
  5. Random letters, numbers and punctuation (59 characters): 35(0), 37(1), 36(0), 35(0)
  6. One minute of well-balanced text: 72(0), 69(0), 72(0), 74(0), 72(0), 71(0), 75(0), 80(0), 76(0), 72(0)

    http://hungarian-speedtest.10-fast-fingers.com/ is also a funny place for Hungarian typing speed tests. Of course I wont write my results here... ;)

Tftp secret of TL-WR740N uncovered

I've found out that even this particular entry level router supports anti-bricking, so there's no need for soldering, unless of course you are modding. The method I used is the following: Set up a tftp server  on your PC and verify if it works correctly (configuration, permissions, firewalls, etc.) Rename your target firmware to wr740v4_tp_recovery.bin and copy it to your base folder (by default /tftpboot). I tested with openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr740n-v4-squashfs-factory.bin r43602. Set up the following static IP for your PC: 192.168.0.66 /255.255.255.0. If you're not sure about the firmware name on a different model, start a packet sniffer on your PC ( tcpdump -i eth0 -n -l ) and look for the name in the RRQ message. Preferably disconnect WAN from the router Connect the PC to a LAN port Power off the router Press and hold the reset button Power on the router After the leftmost (power) LED and the rightmost (padlock) LED turn on alone in a few seconds, release

Hidden TFTP of TP-Link routers

I did some more investigation after the positive results with the TL-WR740Nv4  (click the link to get introduced to the way of recovery). Most users report that devices and firmware updates released after a point in time usually have this mode enabled. If a firmware update is available from the vendor for your device, it's a good idea to apply that update before installing OpenWRT or dd-wrt UNLESS you own something for which upgrading will ensure incompatible with OpenWrt, like a TL-WR730N , and possible some other models (please report). Note that some old models have newer updates in different languages, those may also be worth a try ( TODO : compatibility?). Also remember that later on, tftp recovery will need a type of firmware image without a boot loader, so strip it with dd if yours has it ( grep U-Boot , or check the filename). Positive reported claims so far (personal results highlighted): TL-WDR4300 router 192.168.0.86 server 192.168.0.66 query wdr4300v1_tp_recovery.b
