Tools KUAL DateTime Button
Set DateTime from Server
All Kindle models have some means to set the system date-time, either manually, automatically, or both.
If you are "Blocking Big Brother", you will not be able to reach the Amazon time servers.
This button, when added will appear on the KUAL 'Helper' menu list.
It will set both the system time (in Linux kernel) and command Linux to set the hardware clock from the user's choice of public time servers.
Will work on any Kindle with network access by Wifi, USB cable, or non-Amazon 3G.
(Untested on the K2 - but one can hope it works there also.)
Will work while the "Block Big Brother" (BBB) firewall is active.
The button has a simple configuration file, accessible in USB storage (extensions/helper2/ntpdate.conf) where the user can set from one to four public time servers or time server networks.
As shipped, one US time server and three time server networks are configured:
NTPD_SERVER='nist.time.nosc.us'
NTPD_ALT1='0.uk.pool.ntp.org'
NTPD_ALT2='0.europe.pool.ntp.org'
NTPD_ALT3='pool.ntp.org'
Information on regional and pool server zones can be found here:
http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/@
Information on the US time server network can be found here:
http://tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/servers.cgi
Information on the UK time servers can be found here:
http://www.timetools.co.uk/ntp-serve...-server-uk.htm
The button will produce a "book-report" (actually, a text document) if it encounters any errors.
As shipped, the button is configured to also produce the "book-report" when successfully setting the date-time.
The configuration file has an option to turn off the "Success book-report", the default is to produce the success report.
The success report is enabled by setting the configuration file to:
NTPD_REPORT='true'
The success report can be disabled by setting the configuration file to:
NTPD_REPORT=''
The configuration file is actually a fragment of a script, it **must** use Linux line-endings.
Installation:
Finding the 'book-report'
Since the book-report is actually a text file, your kindle will consider it a 'doc' rather than a 'book'.
If you have a display filter on your Kindle ('My Items' dropdown thing), then set it to either 'all items' or 'docs' to see the DateTime book-report.

Installation:
- Unarchive the release package (if using the 'zip' package, keep the directory structure) ;
- The top level directory of the button file structure is: 'helper2' ;
- Copy this top level directory, its sub-directories and files as an entry in the: 'extensions' directory ;
- The 'extensions' directory can be seen over USB storage, right next to the 'documents' directory ;
- You are done.

Tools [VaporWare] adding PSAD to Kindles
I added the [VaporWare] tag to the title before someone else raised the point.
The BBB (Block Big Brother) firewall is the predecessor of a more sophisticated firewall for protecting the Kindles from network intrusions.
The BBB firewall may be all that the majority of users need and/or want.
But for others - the future will be kWall (Kindle Firewall), which (**should**) share the BBB firewall structure.
The question to be discussed in this thread, is if an automatic, dynamic, intrusion detection system should be included with either of the firewalls (BBB or kWall) for the Kindles.
The PSAD (Port Scan Attack Detector) is described here:
http://cipherdyne.org/psad/
(And since I worked on that project in its early days, this is not as much 'vaporware' as it might at first seem.) :p

DX(G) How to debrick a demo DXG?
After reading through all the threads, I still do not know to do it. Will appreciate any detailed help here. (Using an iMac)
1. What serial-TTL cable to buy? 5v, 3v, or 1.8v? Would be great for any link to the ebay listing...
2. The script and files need to be used?
3. The detailed, easier to understand procedures...

Kindle update error 006 help
I have a kindle touch running firmware 5.1.2 and I'm trying to upgrade to 5.3.2 but I keep getting an update error 006 while installing. I have a completely working kindle so I don't want to have to go through the debricking method.
I'd like to try uninstalling all my hacks and try updating to see if that works but I don't have the original files for the screensaver hack and jailbreak hack so I cant just uninstall them. Is there a way to remove these hacks without going through the debricking method? If not, If I download a new screensaver and jailbreak hack will it replace the old hacks?
Thanks!

Tools KUAL Firewall with BBB filter
What is this thing for?
Normally, the Kindle's firewall prohibits any incoming connections.
(except some 3G control thingies)
This firewall normally also prohibits any incoming connections.
(except the same 3G control thingies)
What this KUAL firewall does is adopt an infrastructure that will allow the automation (by button tap) of adding and removing network services and adjusting the firewall rules to match.
Network services such as ssh, ftp, rsync (for syncronizing the Kindle filesystem to/from a remote computer), and about 1,000 others.
The **base** infrastructure of this firewall also includes the "Block Big Brother" output filter by default.
There is a button to remove the BBB filter if desired, leaving just the new infrastructure to support the future automation of network service addition and removal.
Installation
There will be two directories created when you un-pack the archive: bbb and: refs.
The 'refs' directory does not have to be on the Kindle - keep it wherever you keep your reference materials.
The two files under 'refs' is your license to use this firewall rule-set and the listing of registration information for the IP address ranges being blocked by the BBB filter.
Button Functions
Load firewall/BBB filter (/ == 'with')
Remove BBB filter only (leaves the new infrastructure behind)
Generate packet report (For the curious, and for inclusion with trouble reports)
Clear packet counters (guess what)
Load factory firewall (re-loads the Amazon factory firewall)
The two control buttons (Packet Report, and Clear Counters) works with either this new firewall or the Amazon firewall.
BIG RED NOTE: The new firewall does not survive a kernel re-boot, YOU must reload it after re-booting the Linux kernel.
Enjoy, feedback welcome.

K5 Duokan on Paperwhite - Question
I recently bought a PW, downgraded to 3.1, jailbroke and installed duokan. When I switched back to Kindle I updated to 3.3 (i know, i didn't read not to do that until too late!)
When i restarted I wasn't given the option to choose between duokan and kindle. I removed the firmware update, rolling back to 3.1, but restarting still does not give me the option to re-enter duokan.
Anyone know what to do?

K4 Browser issue accesing server with dynamic IP
I've a little web server running on a NAS at home that I want to access with the Kindle 4 NT webbrowser (to display a calender). My router uses DynDNS so that I can access it via a URL like example.homeftp.net. The connection to the ISP is shortly interrupted every 24 hours so that the server gets a new IP every day.
When loading the site with the Kindle browser it works only as long as the Server IP doesn't change. After the IP changes the Kindle browser cannot access the server. Rebooting the Kindle does solve this problem for the next day. So my preliminary conclusion is that the browser doesn't respect the TTL information from the DNS server and caches the IP for a URL "forever".
Has anyone else observed this behavior and solved it?
Is there a configuration file entry that disables DNS caching?
I am using firmware 4.1.1 (jailbreaked with usbNetwork access).

n00b needs help with Paperwhite Screensavers
I apologise for being such a noob in this area.
I have a brand new Kindle Paperwhite. I have never even used one before but would love to customise the screensavers.
I have successfully jailbroken my Kindle, but now I am unsure of how to continue.
Could someone please make a step by step on what I need to do? In noobish format. I have downloaded all the suggested files such as USBnetwork, however, the Readme file put me off a little.

So i listed items, which consumes the most. They are obviously voice files of Text-to-Speech feature. Of course I dont use this feature. And I wonder if everything is going to work fine after deleting them. Has anyone tried to do so?

Tools Kubrick: Live CD to debrick Kindle 4 and Kindle Touch
Version 1.0
Here's a Live CD for all the frustrated Windows users who are struggling with Windows' inability to correctly determine and install device drivers, while just trying to debrick their Kindle.
And... for everyone who just wants to debrick the Kindle, without diving into all the internals.
Oh actually - it's also useful for people who are familiar with those internals.
But just to repeat this again: this is for Kindle 4 and Kindle Touch only! Don't bother to ask for support for other devices (K1/K2/K3/KDX/Paperwhite), this method doesn't, and won't ever, work for them.
Features:
Debricking is now a piece of cake, and will take about 10 minutes.
HOWTO:
Make sure that you are performing steps 2 and 3 with physical hardware, i.e., on a REAL COMPUTER, not in a virtual machine!!!
While I spent quite some effort to create this software, and thoroughly tested it dozens of times, I can't guarantee that it will work in every imaginable situation. In particular, if your device is FUBAR for some reason (for instance, if you really screwed it up by erasing ALL of its data), this won't help either. But it should work in most more or less standard "my Kindle stopped working" situations.
And oh, before I forget: yes of course, this is also an easy way to downgrade a Kindle Touch to 5.1.2.
Technical stuff:
... Below are a few screenshots of what the UI looks like. Note that these were taken while running in a Virtual Machine, and are just a few examples. The entire procedure involves more actions, and should normally be performed on a "real" (physical!) computer, not inside a Virtual Machine.

Features:
- Installs a pristine 4.1.1 (K4) or 5.1.2 (KT) firmware
- Installs an SSH-enabled diags partition
- (optional) Can install the device jailbreak
- (optional) Can reset internal configuration settings
Debricking is now a piece of cake, and will take about 10 minutes.
HOWTO:
- Download and unzip this file (324 MB).
- READ the README file, then burn the ISO image to a CD.
- Boot from that CD, login as root (no password), and follow the on-screen wizard.
