OUTLINE Network Layout Smoothwall Express 3.0 FreeNAS Hardware Software/Features FreeNAS Software

outline Raspberry Pi Media Center Wireless Hardware What you’ll need XBMC Wireless

MOTIVATION My fiancé and I are getting married in October. Through the course of this semester, I hoped to design and implement a home network that could be used in our new home. I wanted this project to have real-world applications that would be useful in our home. It was important for me to use the knowledge and skills I had to learn something new or do something I have never done. Show and Tell Highlight need with interesting facts Broadly speaking why is this issue important? No more than 5-7 phrases on each slide Multiple slides may be used for motivating different aspects of the problem that is being solved through this technology or device

INTRODUCTION Background: Research: Computer Electronics & Networking Distribution comparisons System requirements PC Hardware compatibilities Raspberry Pi Setup procedures for software Background about issue Any technical research you performed related to the topic (multiple slides may be used) Perspectives of different sources about problem or issue List essential theory needed for solving the problem or sub-problems

introduction Examples of Bias in sources: Essential theory: Hak5 prefers Smoothwall Lifehacker : Raspbmc :: Engadget : OpenELEC Essential theory: PC construction/troubleshooting OS installation Networking, subnets

PROBLEM STATEMENT Problem: Specifications: The need for a secure, reliable home network Specifications: Filter incoming ISP WAN data through an open-source firewall/router into a LAN environment Specific problem being addressed – its scope If sub-problems need to be solved list these (multiple slides may be used)

Problem statement Specifications continued: Web filtering – content, URL Access restrictions DHCP for the LAN Report generating capabilities Secure wireless networking Centralized network storage for media and backups

Problem statement Specifications continued: Inexpensive, networked media center Media center should stream from NAS Control media center with iOS devices

Assumptions Home owner wants a media center and central storage Home has an ISP Two PCs needed: User has access to an unused PC (OR) User can part and assemble a PC (or both) User owns a Raspberry Pi List the operating conditions or system constraints under which the problem is being solved Any implicit or explicit assumptions about the product, the process, the ultimate users, the test conditions, intended vs. actual use

Assumptions Smart device(s) on hand for remotely controlling XBMC – iOS, Android App store, Google store account The user is capable of compensating for lack of knowledge by using the resources available at their disposal

PROPOSED SOLUTION List steps taken to solve the problem such as but not limited to: Brainstorming (gist of ideas tried) Proposed solution with justification Arranging for software/hardware Assembly Testing and troubleshooting Verifying results This might continue on multiple slides

Proposed solution SMOOTHWALL EXPRESS 3.0 Open-source firewall/router Compared to: Monowall, Untangle, pfSense Operates on low-end hardware Intel Pentium 200/compatible 128 MB RAM 2GB Storage Multiple NICs

Proposed solution Hardware: Dell 4600 Series Released May 2003 Pentium 4 @ 2.8GHz 512MB RAM 80GB Storage (added) TP-Link Gigabit PCI NIC

Proposed solution Some Default features: Traffic Monitoring IM, POP3, SIP proxies QoS VPN Ping, WhoIs Shell Interface settings DHCP

Proposed solution Installed Features: Advanced Proxy URL Filter Cache Data Throttling Timed Access URL Filter Block by content Block by address – white & black lists Calamaris Report tool

Proposed solution FreeNAS “The Most Potent & Rock Solid Open-Source NAS Software” UFS vs. ZFS filesystems Sharing Protocols: CIFS/SMB – Windows, OSX, Unix-like NFS – Unix-like, third party Windows clients AFP – OSX, clients for Unix-like, some Windows

Proposed solution Hardware: Custom MSI 970A-G46 Motherboard AM3+ Socket, 32GB RAM Support (4x240-pin), 6 x SATA 6Gb/s, onboard Gigabit Realtek NIC AMD FX 4170 CPU Quad-core 4.2GHz Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB RAM Dual Channel @ 1333MHz

Proposed solution Hardware: Custom Western Digital 1TB CAPSTONE 650 Watt PSU Lite-On DVD Burner Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus CPU Heatsink and Fan Zalman Steel Case

Proposed solution Setup: Home > Taylor Folders: ZFS CIFS/SMB Backup Media Music Movies Photos

Proposed solution RASPBERRY PI MEDIA CENTER Hardware: Model B rev 2 ($35) ARM1176JZF-S @ 700MHz 512MB RAM SD Card slot HDMI 2 USB ports RJ45 jack

Proposed solution What you’ll need:

Proposed solution XBMC Open-source media center solution Distributions: xbian, Raspbmc, OpenELEC OpenELEC boots faster & has snappier menu navigations on the Pi than Raspbmc

Proposed solution WIRELESS: 802.11a/b/g/n 300Mbs WPA2 PSK with AES encryption Can be used as an AP, repeater, or bridge Connects to Gigabit Switch (GREEN side of network)

RESULTS The home now has a fully-functional network with a perimeter router/firewall, central storage for backup and media safekeeping, a cheap media streaming solution, and secure wireless networking (For images and demonstration, see video) List key results Include lots of relevant images and multimedia only (maybe 1 or 2 goofy images in the presentation are OK) Show simulation plots or clip if available Show calculated results if available

Results

CONCLUSIONS In the workplace: Smoothwall: FreeNAS: Raspberry Pi: Traffic Monitoring, blocking, QoS IP reservations FreeNAS: Free central storage, integrates with AD User access permissions, network segmentation Raspberry Pi: Seek open-source solutions to problems Comment on significance of results – their applicability in the workplace Comment on your individual learning about the capstone project planning, design, implementation, and testing process.

FUTURE WORK Possible Project Extensions: Provide for solely gigabit NICs & connections Upgrade from Smoothwall Upgrade switches to Cisco Add more storage to NAS and segment the permissions more Have another slice of Raspberry Pi VPN Retro Arcade Pandora Jukebox CUPS (Common Unix Print System) Discuss implications of work – positive and negative Possible extensions to project Invite audience for suggestions Thank the audience Provide your permanent email contact Include appropriate image or clip art Plan for 3-5 audience questions ahead of time

conclusions What I’ve learned: Successfully building a PC from custom parts Perimeter router/firewall installation and configuration Raspberry Pi basics, XBMC, home media servers How to use NAS Time management Project planning
