How can I connect to wifi Internet using IP rather than ESSID?



Hello,



I have a machine running a Linux OS and I want to connect to Internet over wifi. However, I do not want to use the ESSID in the configuration settings. Instead, I want to connect to the IP address using password only.



I. e. I know the IP of the access point and I want to put only the IP and the password into e. g. WPA_supplicant.conf or similar Internet settings file. I will only use the Terminal for this so please don't reply with any GUI instructions.



Is it possible and if so, how?

  • are you looking for wifi setup with hidden ssid?

  • No, I am using VPN's so I don't have a real ESSID every time. Sometimes I can only see the IP address of the VPN tunnel so that's what I got to work with. I have tried to ping the tunnel and it responds, so I want to test if I can connect to it. Not sure if it's possible but I want to try.

  • to ping an IP, you must already be part of the network.

  • Yes, well it's the same network, sort of. The setup is a bit complicated. But I still need to know how, if possible, to route my Internet connection through that VPN tunnel which doesn't have an ESSID.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
