Cain & Abel by Massimiliano Montoro Cain's Wireless Scanner detects Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) using 802.11x. Unlike other wireless applications it does not use the Windows NDIS User Mode I/O Protocol (NDISUIO) but the Winpcap Packet Driver to control the wireless network card. Access points and ah-hoc networks are enumerated using 802.11 OIDs from Windows DDK at intervals of five seconds and WLANs parameters (MAC address, SSID, Vendor, WEP Encryption, Channels.... ) are displayed in the scanner list. The active scanner opens the wireless network adapter using the Winpcap protocol driver then it uses the "PacketRequest" function of the same driver to communicate with the wireless network card. This API can be used from the Windows User Mode to perform a query/set operation on an internal variable of the network card driver. The passive scanner requires the AirPcap adapter from CACE Technologies which enables the raw capture of 802.11 frames by mean of its AirPcap drivers. The scanner recognize wireless Access Points (upper list) and clients (lower list) decoding 802.11b/g packets that travels on the air in a completely passive way. The "Channel Hopping" feature changes the frequency of the adapter every second and let you discover wireless networks on different channels. When the "Dump WEP IVs" checkbox is checked, Cain collects unique WEP initialization vectors (IVs) in the "dump.ivs" file placed in the program's directory. WEP IVs are needed for cracking WEP encryption keys used in wireless protected networks. The WEP IVs dump is compatible with those created by Aircrack and Aircrack-ng softwares. It can be opened immediately, using the "Analyze", button or saved for later analysis. Cain also includes a WEP Cracker, a Wireless Zero Configuration Password Dumper, and a 802.11 Capture Files Decoder. Operating System: Microsoft Windows NT/2000/XP/2003.

Operating System: Unix/Linux.
EtherPEG by Sam Bushell, Peter Bierman, Stuart Cheshire EtherPEG is a free program for the Macintosh that shows you all the JPEGs (and GIFs) going by on your network. EtherPEG works by capturing unencrypted TCP packets off your local network, collecting packets into groups based on TCP connection (determined from source IP address, destination IP address, source TCP port and destination TCP port), reassembling those packets into order based on TCP sequence number, and then scanning the resulting data for byte sequences that suggest the presence of JPEG or GIF data. EtherPEG works with any TCP/IP network, including Ethernet networks and wireless networks like AirPort, as long as the data is not encrypted. If the data is encrypted using IPSEC, or Virtual Private Network (VPN) products like PGPNet, or Web Browser SSL encryption, then third-parties cannot view your data. Operating System: Macintosh.

KARMA by Dino A. Dai Zovi, Shane Macaulay KARMA is a set of tools for assessing the security of wireless clients at multiple layers. Wireless sniffing tools discover clients and their preferred/trusted networks by passively listening for 802.11 Probe Request frames. From there, individual clients can be targetted by creating a Rogue AP for one of their probed networks (which they may join automatically) or using a custom driver that responds to probes and association requests for any SSID. Higher-level fake services can then capture credentials or exploit client-side vulnerabilities on the host. KARMA includes patches for the Linux MADWifi driver to allow the creation of an 802.11 Access Point that responds to any probed SSID. So if a client looks for 'linksys', it is 'linksys' to them (even while it may be 'tmobile' to someone else). Operating in this fashion has revealed vulnerabilities in how Windows XP and MacOS X look for networks, so clients may join even if their preferred networks list is empty. Operating System: Linux/FreeBSD.
KisMAC by Michael Rossberg et al KisMAC is a free stumbler application for MacOS X, that puts your card into the monitor mode.

GPSd is in the works. Operating System: Windows.
Net::MAC::Vendor by Brian d Foy The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) assigns an Organizational Unique Identifier (OUI) to manufacturers of network interfaces. Each interface has a Media Access Control (MAC) address of six bytes. The first three bytes are the OUI. This perl module allows you to take a MAC address and turn it into the OUI and vendor information. You can, for instance, scan a network, collect MAC addresses, and turn those addresses into vendors. With vendor information, you can often guess at what what you are looking at (e.g. an Apple product). You can use this as a module as its individual functions, or call it as a script with a list of MAC addresses as arguments. The module can figure it out. This module tries to persitently cache with DBM::Deep the OUI information so it can avoid using the network. If it cannot load DBM::Deep, it uses a normal hash (which is lost when the process finishes). You can preload this cache with the load_cache() function. So far, the module looks in the current working directory for a file named mac_oui.db to find the cache. The author works on a way to let the user set that location. Perl Module.

WEPCrack by Anton Rager, Paul Danckaert WEPCrack is a tool that cracks 802.11 WEP encryption keys using the latest discovered weakness of RC4 key scheduling. Operating System: All POSIX (Linux/BSD/UNIX-like OSes), Linux.
Weplab by Jose Ignacio Sanchez Weplab is a tool to review the security of WEP encryption in wireless networks from an educational point of view. Several attacks are available so it can be measured the efectiveness and minimun requirements of each one. Operating System: All POSIX (Linux/BSD/UNIX-like OSes), Linux.
WEPWedgie by Anton Rager WEPWedgie is a toolkit for determining 802.11 WEP keystreams and injecting traffic with known keystreams. The toolkit also includes logic for firewall rule mapping, pingscanning, and portscanning via the injection channel and a cellular modem. The program consists of two main programs. (1) prgasnarf: looks for shared-key-auth sequences to derive a IV and PRGA - this can later be used as a packet keystream with the same IV. (2) wepwedgie: injects frames encoded with IV/PRGA from prgasnarf to a user specified target and internet helper. The internet helper is a host that you own that will be monitoring the results from the injected traffic via the internet. Operating System: Unix/Linux.
WEP_Tools (wep_crack/wep_decrypt) by Tim Newsham This package contains two tools, one for cracking WEP keys and one for decrypting WEP packets. Wep_crack: Given a pcap file containing a packet capture of WEP packets, this program will attempt to find the key used in encryption. This is done by searching the key space using keys generated from dictionary words, or by exhaustively searching through the key generation seeds. Keys are validated by decrypting a number of packets and verifying their CRC. If the CRC validates for all packets, there is a high probability that the proper key was used. Wep_decrypt is a program for decrypting captured 802.11 traffic that is protect with WEP traffic. It reads in a pcap capture file, such as that generated by prismdump, and outputs another pcap capture file with decrypted packets. By default it will read from stdin and ouput to stdout. The key to decrypt with can be specified as a string of hex characters, optionally seperated by spaces or colons, or as a text string. If a text string is specified, the actual keying material will be generated by the string in the (ad hoc) standard fashion used by many drivers. Operating System: Unix/Linux.
Wi-Find by Eric Olinger Wi-find is a wirelesss network detection tool that is written in C and is aiming for flexibility and clean easy to understand code. It currently only suports prism2 based cards using the wlan-ng drive (the hostap might work also) but the support is there to add more cards. Features: * Passive detection of 802.11b networks (SSID Extraction from Managenment and Data packets, WEP detection). * Easily extendable interface for adding new cards. * GPS Logging supports any NMEA compatibly unit.

It works with CISCO cards and prism cards with a hostap driver or wlan-ng driver. An Intrusion Detection System is integrated to detect anomaly like MAC usurpation. Operating System: Linux.
Wifitap by Cédric Blancher This Python script is a proof of concept tool allowing WiFi communication using traffic injection. Wifitap allows direct communication with an associated station to a given access point directly, meaning: * not being associated ourselves; * not being handled by access point. Wifitap allows any application to send and receive IP packets using 802.11 traffic capture and injection over a WiFi network simply configuring wj0, which means: * setting an IP address consistent with the target network address range; * routing desired traffic through it. In particular, it's a cheap method for arbitrary packet injection in 802.11 frames without the need for a specific library. In addition, Wifitap will allow you to get rid of any limitation set at access point level, such as bypassing inter-client communications prevention systems (e.g. Cisco PSPF) or reaching multiple SSID handled by the same access point. Wifitap can easily be modified to be used as a framework for simple tasks such as injecting answers to captured frames. Operating System: Unix/Linux.
WinDump by Loris Degioanni et al WinDump is the porting to the Windows platform of tcpdump, the most used network sniffer/analyzer for UNIX. WinDump is fully compatible with tcpdump and can be used to watch and diagnose network traffic according to various complex rules. It can run under Windows 95/98/ME, and under Windows NT/2000/XP.

Jika Anda Tidak Memiliki Modal, Uangkan Waktu Anda
Jika ada pepatah yang mengatakan bahwa untuk bekerja, Anda memerlukan setidaknya sebuah modal, maka pepatah itu adalah benar. Namun, pemikiran masyarakat tentang bagaimana relasi antara modal dan uang kerap kali salah. Modal sering diartikan sebagai uang. Tanpa uang, Anda tidak memiliki modal untuk melakukan apa pun. Benarkah itu?
Kenyataannya yang terjadi, uang tidak dapat membeli segala macam modal meskipun beberapa keterampilan dapat dibeli. Artinya, Anda tidak harus memiliki banyak uang untuk memulai usaha Anda!
Faktor pertama yang menentukan tentulah seberapa besar niat Anda untuk berusaha, tanpa niat Anda tidak akan pernah beranjak dari tempat duduk Anda saat ini. Sungguh sangat disayangkan, banyak pula yang telah memiliki modal utama ini pada akhirnya berhenti dan merasa gagal di tengah perjalanannya dalam berusaha. Mengapa hal ini dapat terjadi?
Kebanyakkan dari mereka yang mengaku gagal akan merasa putus asa walaupun memiliki niat yang kuat, meskipun niat tersebut pada akhirnya pupus dan sirna. Lalu yang muncul dalam benak adalah kalimat-kalimat seperti berikut, “Aah, nyatanya pepatah itu bohong! Aku memiliki niat yang kuat dan aku telah berusaha sekuat tenaga, aku telah mencoba segala jalan yang ada!”. Ia akan menyesali segala kekurangan yang ia miliki, kemudian ia akan duduk terkulai di kursinya dan menjalani kehidupan ke mana pun angin bertiup. Menurut pendapat saya, tidak ada yang lebih menyedihkan daripada seorang pribadi yang saya uraikan di atas.
Perhatikanlah penyebab seseorang merasa gagal, ia tidak berhasil menemukan jalan untuk mendapatkan modal yang terus membawanya semakin dekat kepada tujuan yang diimpi-impikannya. Pada kenyataannya, sebuah jalan akan selalu ada bagi mereka yang ingin berusaha dan ingin melihat. Jika memang tidak ada keterampilan apa pun yang Anda miliki, juga sepeser pun kocek di kantong Anda, maka Anda akan selalu dapat memanfaatkan setiap detik waktu kehidupan Anda di dunia ini.
Bagaimana caranya?
Setelah mengumpulkan niat yang kuat, tidak perlulah Anda mencoba setiap jalan yang ada di hadapan mata. Lihatlah dengan teliti masing-masing jalan tersebut, bila tidak ada yang memungkinkan Anda untuk mencapai tujuan maka buatlah jalan yang baru. Lihatlah setiap kesempatan, buka mata dan pikiran Anda! Jangan pernah dibutakan oleh kegagalan karena kegagalan akan selalu berbuah keberhasilan, tanamkan kalimat itu lekat-lekat dalam pikiran Anda.
Sebuah contoh sederhana yang saya temukan dengan mudah. Misalkan Anda adalah seorang ibu rumah tangga, dan Anda ingin sekadar memiliki sedikit penghasilan tambahan. Anda juga memiliki banyak waktu luang karena anak-anak Anda sudah dapat hidup mandiri. Dalam kasus ini, tokoh Anda sangat memiliki banyak sekali kesempatan untuk mewujudkan keinginannya meskipun Anda tidak memiliki keterampilan apa pun. Anda tidak dapat memasak, Anda tidak memiliki keterampilan apa pun yang dapat diuangkan!
Oleh karena tokoh Anda di atas dikondisikan tidak memiliki keterampilan apa pun, maka jauh lebih mudah bagi orang lain yang memiliki keterampilan sebagai modal awal bukan? Perhatikanlah keadaan, situasi, atau hal-hal yang sedang digemari masyarakat. Analisis juga adakah celah yang dapat dimanfaatkan. Ingat, waktu yang Anda miliki juga merupakan modal yang dapat diandalkan. Mungkinkah Anda membeli bahan baku untuk kerajinan tangan dan menjualnya ketika sudah Anda kreasikan? Mulai dari cross stitch, hingga crotchet dapat Anda kerjakan karena prosesnya relatif mudah, terlebih lagi bagi mereka yang memiliki banyak waktu luang. Pergilah ke HobbyCraft sewaktu-waktu dan lihatlah harga cross stitch yang telah jadi, bandingkan dengan harga bahan baku yang dapat Anda peroleh. Cukupkah keuntungan lebih dari empat kali lipat dari modal awal memuaskan Anda? Jika sekiranya ide di atas tidak memungkinkan bagi Anda, ada banyak sekali ide-ide serupa yang dapat dimanfaatkan.
Ketika Anda tidak memiliki keterampilan apa pun, ingatlah bahwa waktu pun dapat berbuah manis dalam perjalanan karier Anda.
4 Modal Menjadi Entrepreneur (Ternyata Bukan Uang)
Wimar's World 28 March 2007
Inspirasi dari Entrepreneur
Laporan oleh Hayat Mansur
Walau banyak kasus korupsi dan persoalan lainnya, ekonomi negara kita bisa tetap berjalan. Ini tentu saja berkat ada penggerak-penggerak di masyarakat yang tidak tergantung pada peraturan dan pemerintah. Mereka yang jarang diketahui orang ini disebut entrepreneur. Ini beberapa dari mereka dan upaya yang telah dilakukan untuk menjadi inspirasi dan motivasi bagi kita.
Wimar’s World Rabu malam (28/3) menghadirkan tiga orang entrepreneur yaitu Bob Sadino (pemilik supermarket Kem Chicks), Hadrijanto Satyanegara (PR Manager Patrakom), dan Fred Hehuwat (salah satu pendiri Yayasan ASHOKA Indonesia). Mereka adalah orang-orang yang tidak putus asa bahkan bersemangat dan memberi contoh kepada kita. Berikut potongan percakapan mereka dengan Wimar Witoelar.
Empat Modal Entrepreneur
Wimar: Katanya, Anda dulu pelaut, lalu bagaimana Anda bisa sampai menjadi entrepreneur dengan membuka supermarket?
Bob: Sederhana saja. Saya dulu bekerja di negeri Belanda dan berkeliling Eropa. Ketika kembali ke Indonesia, saya melihat telor di sini berbeda dengan telor yang saya lihat di Eropa.
Wimar: Apa bedanya?
Bob: Beda bentuknya. Jadi, saya meminta orang mencari ayam yang bisa bertelor.
Wimar: Apakah saat itu Anda sudah ahli ayam atau telor?
Bob: Salah satu faktor saya menjadi seperti saat ini karena saya beruntung tidak mengetahui apa-apa.
Wimar: Apakah Anda mempunyai banyak teman di bank yang bisa menyediakan modal?
Bob: Bank hanya untuk menabung saja
Wimar: Jadi tidak betul orang membutuhkan modal untuk membangun usaha baru.
Bob: Apa pengertian modal itu? Banyak orang hanya menterjemahkan modal itu hanya benda yang bisa dilihat dan dihitung saja, pokoknya uang. Sebetulnya ada modal yang tidak bisa dilihat. Ini modal pegangan bagi seseorang untuk menjadi entrepreneur yaitu,
1. Harus mempunyai kemauan 2. Tekad yang bulat 3. Keberanian mengambil peluang. Ada sejuta peluang di luar sana termasuk di dalam badan kita sendiri
Wimar: Bob, saya bertemu banyak sekali orang yang ingin menjadi enterpreuner. Katanya, itu susah sekali karena iklim tidak kondusif, peraturan tidak berpihak pada pengusaha. Bagaimana ini Bob?
Bob: Ketiga faktor tadi belum membuat seseorang untuk masuk menjadi enterpreuner. Faktor keempat adalah Anda jangan cengeng dan tahan banting.
Manfaatkan Teknologi
Wimar: Kita beralih ke Hadrijanto. Perusahaan Anda menyediakan sarana telekomunikasi di perusahaan terpencil. Bagaimana perusahaan Anda bisa berbisnis di daerah terpencil?
Hadrijanto: Kita melihat ada peluang usaha dan keterbatasan saran telekomunikasi terutama di luar Pulau Jawa. Mereka mempunyai kebutuhan dan terkadang mereka memiliki uang. Telekomunikasi itu bukan lagi kebutuhan sekunder tapi sudah primer. Karena itu kita berupaya membantu menyediakan sarana telekomunikasi di daerah terpencil.
Wimar: Berapa banyak dan dimana contohnya?
Hadrijanto: Di Kalimantan Timur seperti di daerah pedalaman Samarinda, Tabang. Kalau sekarang jumlahnya sekitar 150 unit
Wimar: Jadi karena daerah terpencil maka mereka mesti wireless. Jadi dipergunakan satelit.
Hadrijanto: Iya, kita mengadakan warung telekomunikasi satelit (Wartelsat).
Wimar: Kuncinya di sini mahal tapi kok bisa dikerjakan dan orang tidak membayar mahal. Jadi, siapa yang memberikan dukungan sehingga ini tersedia?
Hadrijanto: Sebenarnya yang mendukung itu teknologi. Kita memanfaatkan teknologi yang ada. Kita melakukan rekayasa teknologi di dalamnya sehingga kita bisa. Secara kualitas memang tidak bisa mencapai seperti cyber atau berlangganan, tapi untuk daerah terpencil cukup memadai agar ada sarana telekomunikasi.
Wimar: Apakah investasi itu akan kembali dari sisi uang?
Hadrijanto: Mungkin bukan kembali tapi kita berusaha mencapai break event point saja. Itu sudah bagus.
Wimar: Itu mungkin perbedaannya antara perusahaan tempat Anda bekerja dengan Bob Sadino. Kalau Bob, pure entrepreneur yaitu investasi dan uang kembali. Sedangkan Anda, ada yang investasi dan kembali dalam bentuk menyenangkan masyarakat.
Social Entrepreneur ASHOKA
Wimar: Ini yang ketiga Fred Hehuwat. Dia pada 1983 mendirikan Yayasan ASHOKA Indonesia. Saya tahu karena turut mendirikannya, tapi saya tidak tahu kelanjutannya. ASHOKA memakai konsep social entrepreneur. Apa konsep itu dan apa yang dikerjakan Ashoka saat ini?
Fred: Kalau kita biasanya mengaitkan dengan kegiatan ekonomi. Memang lahirnya istilah social entrepreneur ini dari Ashoka. Kalau kita membandingkan sektor ekonomi dan industri yang perkembangannya sangat maju maka bidang sosial seperti pendidikan dan kesehatan tertinggal. Kalau kita melihat kondisi di Indonesia, kondisi sosial merupakan yang sangat parah. Siapa yang menangani ini? Biasanya kita menggantungkan harapan pada pemerintah. Kita semua tahu pemerintah banyak keterbatasannya. Kalau ini tidak ada jalan pintas yang diciptakan maka keadaannya makin lama makin ketinggalan.
Wimar: Apa orang yang dibina ASHOKA?
Fred: Kita membina orang-orang yang memiliki program-program entrepreneur. Awalnya, seseorang melihat keadaan, mengenal lapangan, mempunyai ide cemerlang, mempunyai kemampuan menyelesaikan masalah, tidak tergantung fasilitas, dan sebagainya, maka ide cemerlang itu akan kita bantu. Kita mencari orang-orang seperti itu.
Wimar: Berapa orang yang sudah dibina sejak 1989?
Fred: Sekarang ada sekitar 140 orang di Indonesia.
Wimar: Ini konsepnya internasional. Kalau dengan contoh konsep internasional, kita mungkin lebih mengerti social entrepreneur itu?
Fred: Kalau kita melihat social entrepreneur yang top adalah Muhammad Yunus dari Banglades dengan program di Grameen Banknya sehingga meraih hadiah Nobel. Idenya itu yang paling unik dan bagus.
Wimar: Kalau saya membaca di brosur Anda, ASHOKA banyak juga bergerak di daerah-daerah. Bagaimana cara mengatasi hambatan-hambatan yang terjadi di sana?
Fred: Saya kira mereka tidak akan menunggu sesuatu tapi melihat keadaan. Kemungkinan-kemungkinannya berbeda. Kendalanya juga berbeda. Jadi mereka sama sekali tidak menunggu sesuatu dari luar. Dari mereka sendiri tumbuh ide, "Oh, keadaannya begini. Ini yang bisa saya lakukan."
Wimar: Bagaimana Anda memilih orang yang akan dibina itu?
Fred: Saya kira kita memang memilah-milah orang terutama berdasarkan penilaian,
1. Apakah idenya itu baru? 2. Apakah orang yang melakukan itu, menurut penilaian kami, mempunyai kemampuan? 3. Bagaimana dampaknya ide tersebut? Kalau dampaknya kecil maka kita tidak tertarik.
Wimar: Kalau Bob Sadino 50 tahun lalu yaitu saat masih remaja, apakah bisa menjadi pilihan ASHOKA? Apakah syarat-syarat yang ada pada diri Bob itu yang dicari ASHOKA?
Fred: Mungkin sifat-sifatnya iya, tapi bidangnya mungkin tidak. Bob tentu ingin berhasil secara komersial, sedangkan yang kita nilai adalah bagaimana dampaknya pada kehidupan sosial.
Alfi (penelpon dari Bekasi): Saya sangat tertarik dengan Yayasan ASHOKA Indonesia. Bagaimana mekanisme kontrol terhadap orang yang didukung sebagai entrepreneur di ASHOKA?
Wimar: Jadi pertanyaannya bagaimana niat baik orang tersebut bisa dikontrol?
Fred: Pertama, kita memiliki jaringan yang cukup banyak sehingga dapat memberi informasi ke kita. Kedua, kita tentu memonitor bagaimana perkembangan selanjutnya dari orang yang didukung. Sesungguhnya ASHOKA sendiri tidak mau banyak mengontrol. Kalau entrepreneur mau berkembang jangan terlalu banyak dikontrol, jadi kita hanya memonitor saja.
Dampak Perubahan Pemerintah
Wimar: Kita telah mengalami perubahan drastis pemerintahan sejak 1998 hingga sekarang. Jika dibandingkan dengan situasi sebelumnya, apakah ada perbedaan perubahan tersebut untuk masing-masing bidang entrepreneur?
Fred: Sangat berbeda. Dulu kita untuk mendirikan ASHOKA harus mengumpet-umpet. Sekarang sangat leluasa
Bob: Iya ada perbedaan. Tapi Saya dari dulu tidak tertarik dengan pemerintah. Saya hanya ingin kami jangan terlalu banyak diatur-atur karena yang tahu mengenai usaha saya adalah saya.
Hadrijanto: Kalau kita melihat lebih baik sekarang karena peraturan pendukungnya jauh lebih baik dan sikap dari teman-teman daerah juga sudah lebih terbuka.

Anda merasa diri entrepreneur sukses? Bagi tips dong. Tulis di bawah.
Posted on September 15, 2007. Filed under: Bisnis Smart | Sharing buat laporan keuangan sederhana untuk wirauaha anda, seperti hal-hal yang perlu diperhatikan adalah :
1. Catat semua pengeluaran dalam satu buku khusus, dan catat setiap hari (menghindari lupa). Sisishkan waktu khusu untuk mencatat, misalnya setelah proyek hari itu selesai. Jangan lupa simpan semua nota pengeluaran 2. Pisahkan pengeluaran yang merupakan biaya (transportasi, pemeliharaan alat, uang makan, dll), dan merupakan inventaris (pembelian alat yang mempunyai jangka waktu pemakaian yang cukup lama, misalnya meja, kursi, kamera, handy cam dll), dan pengeluaran untuk pembelian bahan2 proyek
Laporan keuangan pada dasarnya terdiri dari : 1. Laporan Rugi Laba (ini bisa dibuat per proyek yang anda kerjakan) isinya : Pemasukan dari proyek anda, dikurangi dengan pembelian bahan-bahan yang dipakai untuk proyek tersebut, lalu dikurangi dengan biaya operasional = Laba
2. Neraca Biasa dibuat per periode tertentu, misalnya akhir bulan, ato akhir tahun. Isinya : a. Kas, berupa uang tunai pada tanggal neraca dibuat b. Bank, uang di rekening bank pada tanggal tsb c. Inventaris (barang2 yang dibeli dan dianggap sebagai inventaris) d. Persediaan barang (bahan2 yang belum dipakai) e. Piutang, berupa tagihan anda kepada customer yang belum dibayar f. dan Hutang, berupa tagihan yang belum dibayar pada supplier
(Kas + Bank+ Piutang + Inventaris + Persediaan) dikurangi dengan Hutang = Modal Anda 3. Perubahan Modal Modal Awal Anda + Laba (di laporan rugi laba) harus sama dengan Modal Anda yang tercantum di Neraca
