iWepLite, an application that can find the keys to WiFi networks protected by WEP. Yesterday, the developer has released a new video where you can see this baby at work.

As you can see, once detected the network, the application relies on a dictionary of keys that will try until you find the password (at best) of the WiFi network. Its possible to “pause” the application, resume search and more.

Right now i have no further info on this, but keep an eye on FSMdotCOM for updates….

Automatic Login to WiFi Networks Includes a New Safety Problem in iPhone OS 3.0

iPhone OS 3.0 has a bad “feature” which let karmetasploit attack you without user interaction. Be careful what you join.

All you will know that the Firmware 3.0 introduces a new feature that covers the auto-login to the WiFi HotSpot public, which also involves the automatic opening of the Safari. This beautiful novelty, however, could jeopardize our security. Let us look for the good functioning of this feature and understand what is the problem:

In an attempt to connect to a Wi-Fi network, the iPhone perform 2 steps:

  • Create a DNS query to the Apple site
  • Try to open an HTML file in the site itself

If the HotSpot prompts you for a password, Safari will open with a login form to be filled, otherwise, if the network is completely free and public, the iPhone will launch Safari and you can start surfing the www.

Because of this, theoretically, anyone could achieve misrepresentation of WiFi network with the name “FREE WiFi” rather than “Public WiFi” and, taking advantage of remote exploits that could draw from Safari valuable information stored in the cookies, such as logins for numerous websites.

So, just be careful when you choose to join a WiFi network.

aTimeTool: Auto-Start and Close iPhone Airplane Mode, WiFi and Bluetooth

aTimeTool is an iPhone app that would let you set the airplain mode/wifi/bluetooth to be auto turned on and off.

New day, new app in Cydia: aTimeTool and it pretty much does what the title says. It allows you to set a time and date for your iPhone’s Airplane mode/WiFi/Bluetooth to start or close.I believe this app is extremely useful only if you travel a lot , because you can set the Airplane mode to start and end, and you dont need to worry about checking the phone everytime you have to travel. As far as the WiFi and/or Bluetooth goes, i personally why should this app be useful.

Interpath for iPhone

The Interpath for iPhone application allows for a remote pathologist to review and navigate high quality images of diagnostic quality using either the cellular network or WIFI networks on the iPhone. Using the application rapid specialist referrals can be made, without access to a computer, a microscope or the original specimen. The image can be reviewed by the pathologist and used to provide a diagnosis used in cancer and other disease treatments.

The system consists of a generic high quality microscope slide scanner, of which there are several currently on the market. A server where the images are located and the iPhone. The iPhone is used to access the large image that is stored in the server but only to retrieve relevant parts. Using the multi-touch interface that the iPhone provides, an intuitive interface is provided that allows the user to navigate and view images of interest in a similar way to that provided by Google Earth. There are plans to put this system into immediate trials prior to consideration of its integration into our patient treatment workflow.

PS : this is an amazing application , but i feel the need to make a stupid remark : that looks like Wu-Tang Clan’s logo 😛

Jaadu VNC for iPhone

This is a guest post by iRoc, and today he is going to fill you in on one of his most favorite apps :  Jaadu! icon

What exactly is Jaadu and why would I need it, You might ask. Well, let’s say you are at work and you need a file, but that file is on your computer at home. You could call home and try to talk someone through navigating to the file and sending it to you. Oh, but that almost always is a head ache at best. Wouldn’t be great if you could just get in touch with the Enterprise , and teleport back home and get the file? No Jaadu is not about to save you thousands on travel expenses or make your daily commute magically disappear. Though Jaadu was formerly known as Teleport, and it’s the next best thing to a real deal teleporter.

Jaddu will allow you to remotely access any of your computers anytime you want or need right from your iPhone. You will have 100% control over your distant computer, or the one that’s just out of arms reach if you want to roll that way. 100%? That’s right 100%!

Your desktop even shows on the iPhone screen. So you can navigate to the necessary file and send it to yourself via email, instant messenger, any way that you could send that file if you were sitting right there at your computer normally, and everyone is happy and you are the big hero of the day in your boss’s eye.

Here’s how I used it last. I was at the store and I saw a DVD for a movie I had been meaning to download and watch, but always seemed to forget when I was at my computer. So I reached in my pocket got out my iPhone called Scotty and said, “Scotty one for transport.” N o not really. I opened Jaddu selected my laptop at home. Opened Firefox, went to mininova.org and searched for the movie. Once I found it I started the download. I could even check back in periodically to see how the download was coming along. Anything you can do sitting at your computer with your keyboard and mouse you can do on the screen of your iPhone with Jaadu.

Watch Live TV, Record DVR Programs and Watch Recorded Films on Your iPhone

The first exciting news from Macworld 2009 came late Monday afternoon when Sling Media PR director Brian Jaquet announced that we will see the much anticipated SlingPlayer for the iPhone by the end of the quarter. If you own a version of their SlingBox set top, this app will allow you to watch live TV, record DVR programs, and even watch recorded films over the air with a 3G or wifi connection.

Six months ago at WWDC, Sling showed off a proof-of-concept SlingPlayer on a jailbroken iPhone. Sling also informed reporters that they were using a jailbroken phone because they had not been accepted into Apple’s Developer Program.  From that moment, the rumor mill went into overdrive about why we have not seen an Apple approved SlingPlayer in the app store.

Along with the exciting iPhone news, Sling Media also announced that their streaming site, sling.com will begin supporting OS X via a browser plugin. For the first time, Mac users will be able to stream HD TV on their browsers from the SlingPlayer. Very exciting to see that Sling is finally showing Apple some love and I, for one, can’t wait to see the demo in person.
