Read the following and you'll be able to set up your own CryptoBox within half an hour.
|
|
</p>

It's pretty straight forward as we're always trying to make things as easy as possible for you.

<h2 id="StepbyStep">Step by Step</h2>
|
|
<ol><li>You need:
|
|
<ul><li>an old computer (remove the dust first)
|
|
</li><li>this PC needs a network card and a CD drive
|
|
</li><li>a medium to store your files on (e.g. a harddisk)
|
|
</li><li>we will call this PC from now on CryptoBox-PC
|
|
</li></ul></li><li>You don't need:
|
|
<ul><li>a monitor, keyboard and mouse (with one exception, see below).
|
|
</li><li>deeper knowledge of cryptography or server administration
|
|
</li></ul></li><li>Download the latest version of the CryptoBox live-CD from CodeCoop. It's an ~100MB iso-image.
|
|
<ul><li><a class="ext-link" title="http://codecoop.org/projects/cryptobox/" href="http://codecoop.org/projects/cryptobox/">http://codecoop.org/projects/cryptobox/</a>
|
|
</li></ul></li><li>Burn the iso-image onto a CD.
|
|
</li><li>Connect the CryptoBox-PC to your local area network.
|
|
</li><li>Configure the CryptoBox-PC, so that it can boot the live-CD. Therefore you may have to enter the BIOS and configure the CD-ROM as boot device.
|
|
</li><li>Put the burned CryptoBox live-CD into the CD drive and start the CryptoBox-PC.
|
|
</li><li>Now go to your current desktop computer which must be connected to the same network as the CryptoBox-PC is and point your browser to <i>http://192.168.0.23</i>.
|
|
</li></ol>
|
|

|
|
Now, if you see a website similar to the screenshots you're ready. :) Congratulations!
|
|
Otherwise check the last steps again and take a look in the <i>caveats</i> section below.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Follow this link for <a href="doc_0.1.html">further user documentation</a>. There you'll find a detailed desription, how to work with the CryptoBox.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Some sites of your brand new CryptoBox require an administrative password. The default is <i>admin</i> as username _and_ as password. For your own sake change this as soon as possible (under "Preferences" -> "Users").
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2 id="Hints">Hints</h2>
|
|
<ul><li>The CryptoBox has an integrated help system. Enable it by clicking on the top-right help icon. It displays some useful tips. You can disable it again, as soon as you know how things work.
|
|
</li><li>The CryptoBox-PC should at least have a 200MHz CPU and 64MB RAM (rule of thumb: bought after 1997)
|
|
</li><li>Every modern PC system should work as a CryptoBox-PC. Try to get one with low energy consumption, there is not much CPU performance necessary.
|
|
</li><li>The data storage media can be an internal harddisk or any external drive.
|
|
</li><li>You can change external drives while the !CryptoBox-PC is running or even leave it running without a connected drive at all.
|
|
</li><li>The "drive" may also be a USB-stick, firewire-disk, flash-drive, MMC/SD-card, MP3-player or a digital camera.
|
|
</li><li>If you are going to buy a new harddisk and are using a very, very old PC as CryptoBox, please keep in mind that it probably cannot handle current disk sizes!
|
|
</li></ul><h2 id="Caveats">Caveats</h2>
|
|
<ul><li>Some old PCs are not able to boot from CD drives. In this case you cannot use it as CryptoBox.
|
|
</li><li>If you want to change the default boot device but don't know what a BIOS is, ask somebody for help! It doesn't hurt. ;)
|
|
</li><li>To configure the BIOS, you need a keyboard and a monitor. But this has to be done only once.
|
|
</li><li>Don't forget to connect your PC to your local area network! Also don't forget to connect your desktop computer to the same network, if it isn't yet.
|
|
</li><li>Make sure your desktop computer has a <i>192.168.0.x</i> IP address (at least for the first configuration). If this says nothing to you, again ask somebody for help!
|
|
</li><li>If you're unsure about the network, you can also try to connect the CryptoBox-PC and your desktop computer directly with a crossover network cable.
