Osx terminal
hi all,
first off thesis my first post so if i am not in the right forum, i apologize.
i'm an absolute newbie to unix. i've been reading my books and studying my crib sheets etc. but... :/
i want to accomplish two things.
1. search and remove duplicate files i.e.. audio, doc alias etc. on all hard drives on just local hd.
2. it's come to my attention TWC arris routers are not secure. when the firmware updates some settings default and at set up everything must be applied twice (straight from the techs mouth) i watched it happen while on the phone with a tier 3 tech (who was surprised i knew what i was doing) go figure... so i'd like to monitor my network.
my network setup is as follows...
modem/router 5/2.4GHz 802.11 - ping block - all irc disabled - wps disabled etc.
mac (yosemite) into ethernet port one
wifi 5GHz ssid disabled for my local i.e. apple tv & iPhone
2.4GHz for everything/one else.
both wpa/wpa2 psk/tkip/aes
but last time i logged into my router wps was enabled and a pin was generated. and someone was trying to connect to my homesharing.
i know locks only keep honest men honest. but can i do anything terminal wise to help?
thanks in advance for any help offered.

The problem was the same both locally or using the terminal and going ssh somewhere.

if_ipw
IPW(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual IPW(4)
NAME
ipw -- Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 IEEE 802.11 driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device ipw
device ipwfw
device pci
device wlan
device firmware
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
if_ipw_load="YES"
In both cases, place the following line in loader.conf(5) to acknowledge the firmware license (see below):
legal.intel_ipw.license_ack=1
DESCRIPTION
The ipw driver provides support for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 MiniPCI network adapter. ipw supports station, adhoc, and monitor mode oper-
ation. Only one virtual interface may be configured at any time. For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).
This driver requires the firmware built with the ipwfw module to work. For the loaded firmware to be enabled for use the license at
/usr/share/doc/legal/intel_ipw/LICENSE must be agreed by adding the following line to loader.conf(5):
legal.intel_ipw.license_ack=1
FILES
/usr/share/doc/legal/intel_ipw/LICENSE ipw firmware license
EXAMPLES
Join an existing BSS network (i.e., connect to an access point):
ifconfig wlan create wlandev ipw0 inet 192.168.0.20
netmask 0xffffff00
Join a specific BSS network with network name ``my_net'':
ifconfig wlan create wlandev ipw0 ssid my_net up
Join a specific BSS network with 64-bit WEP encryption:
ifconfig wlan create wlandev ipw0 ssid my_net
wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890 weptxkey 1 up
Join a specific BSS network with 128-bit WEP encryption:
ifconfig wlan create wlandev ipw0 wlanmode adhoc ssid my_net
wepmode on wepkey 0x01020304050607080910111213 weptxkey 1
DIAGNOSTICS
ipw%d: device timeout The driver will reset the hardware. This should not happen.
ipw%d: firmware error The onboard microcontroller crashes for some reason. The driver will reset the hardware. This should not happen.
ipw%d: timeout waiting for firmware initialization to complete The onboard microcontroller failed to initialize in time. This should not
happen.
ipw%d: could not load firmware image '%s' The driver failed to load the firmware image using the firmware(9) subsystem. Verify the ipwfw(4)
firmware module is installed and the license agreement loader(8) tunable has been set.
ipw%d: could not load microcode An attempt to upload the microcode image to the onboard microcontroller failed. This should not happen.
ipw%d: could not load firmware An attempt to upload the firmware image to the onboard microcontroller failed. This should not happen.
SEE ALSO
ipwfw(4), pci(4), wlan(4), wlan_ccmp(4), wlan_tkip(4), wlan_wep(4), ifconfig(8), wpa_supplicant(8).
