iPhone TIPS: How To Change SSH 'alpine' Pass to Block Worm

noreply@blogger.com (Waku_Waku) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 16:33:00 +0000

Today a First iPhone Worm is reported by Sophos with the following characteristics:

"Users of jailbroken iPhones in Australia are reporting that their wallpapers have been changed by a worm to an image of '80s pop icon Rick Astley. This is the first time a worm has been reported in the wild for the Apple iPhone. According to a report by Sophos, the worm, which exploits users who have installed SSH and not changed the default password, hunts for other vulnerable iPhones and infects them. Users are advised to properly secure their jailbroken iPhones with a non-default password, and Sophos says the worm is not harmless, despite its graffiti-like payload:"

Q: How to change the dedault password? A: Simple, if you are on a Jailbroken iPhone, make sure that you immediately change your iPhone password from ‘alpine’ to something else. Here is how to change your iPhone password via OpenSSH with the following instruction:

Install MobileTerminal.app on your iPhone via Cydia.
Launch MobileTerminal.app. Type su then tap .
You will be now asked to enter current password. Type alpine then tap .
You can now change your password. Type passwd then tap return.
Type your new password. Type then tap .
Retype new password. Retype then tap .
Done! Your iPhone should be more safe now.

iPhone TIPS: OMG 1st IP Firewall for iPhone coming (jailbreak)

noreply@blogger.com (Waku_Waku) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:45:00 +0000

Q: What is it A: Probably the first ever firewall for the Apple iPhone. Q: Do I need it? A: Maybe, especially you id you have jailbroken your iPhone, enabled SSH server (don't forget to change the default password!), HTTP server or other server where people can try access your iPhone from the internet without your notice. Q: How does it work? A: Read this blog , basically two steps:

"Step 1. When using a network-enabled application a prompt will be displayed giving you control over what hosts the application can connect to. As you can see the options are self explanatory:
- Allow once
- Deny once
- Always allow!
- Always deny!
- Allow all for this App
- Deny all for this App

A prompt will be display for each host, so the "Allow all" & "Deny all" options make it much easier if you are sure the iPhone app is well behaved.
step 2. The second part of the Firewall application is a rules editor, here you can manage and edit any rules you may have added for any iPhone application.
Once you have selected an application, you will be able to drill down and configure the individual allow or deny rules."

Q: Releases? A: Don't know actually ;) The blog suggests to follow or contact _Yllier_ on twitter.**Looking for an scratch proof iPhone 3G case?

iPhone TIPS: Nice Camera Tripod and App [demo stream]

noreply@blogger.com (Waku_Waku) — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 19:58:00 +0000

Q: What is it? A: It is a camera tripod for your iPhone. Q: Why should I need it? A: If you want to take a picture of yourself and no one is around to take that picture of you :( More likely: you want to take a picture without blur with a steady shot from a tripod. I checked the price, this one costs 20 bucks US (shipping included). I think the price is right because of the solid looks of the construction. They also ship all around the world for 5 extra US bucks. Please visit mobilemechatronics.com The site is a little blurry... Anyway, you also need an app to take pictures with a delay. At the time of writing, the Blur tm app is not available yet. However, there are alternatives in the app store. Also you may consider the free Darkroom app, which takes the picture at the moment the accelerometer senses your hand is steady,in this case you not even need a tripod. But for portraits of yourself :( you will need this kind of tripod.

They created a nice demo video. so have a look:

iPhone TIPS: Google Mail Notification Apps GPush and Pushmail

noreply@blogger.com (Waku_Waku) — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 16:13:00 +0000

Q: What is GPush? A: Today released, the GPush app [App Store Info $0,99] notifies you if new mail arrives in your Gmail inbox.

..And yes it is correct, GPush was released earlier and pulled from the App Store by the developer, because of "Server Problems". Now the developers are confident all things are solved and the "new" GPush app is back in the store...

GPush is the missing link between GMail and the iPhone. Using GPush, iPhone users will be able to receive their GMail new message notification instantly and no longer have to wait up to an hour to be notified of new email. Q: Why should I need this app? A: Fetching email often, increases battery consumption considerably. Now you may set the fetch period to "Manually", which means that the iPhone Mail app will never check for new mail unless you hit the reload button. Instead Gpush notifies you as soon as a new mail arrives in your gmail inbox Q: Are there more advantages? A: GPush also lets the iPhone user choose how to be notified of new email. Your options include having the phone vibrate, ring, display the email message on the standby screen just like an SMS , or simply have the GPush icon show how many new messages are unread.

Features:
* Instantly receive Gmail new message notifications on the iPhone
* Set it and Forget it: All you have to do is download the app and decide how you want to be notified of new email. You never have to open the app again after that.
* Improved battery life: GPush uses less battery since it relies on push notifications rather than data fetching ("pulling")
* Ability to see emails on the standby screen just like text messages
* SSL Security Certificate used to ensure password security for GPush users

developer twitter : GPush4iPhone

Alternatives:
Q: Are there alternative apps? A: Yes, Pushmail [US $4,99] is another app that provides about the same function, however it is setup differently. The application lets you register a username for the dopushmail.com domain. Upon successful registration, all email sent to yourusername@dopushmail.com will trigger the push of a notification to your device with the sender, the subject and a snippet of the body of the email.

iPhone TIPS: iPhone 3GS Shot with 9mm and Burned [VIDEO]

noreply@blogger.com (Waku_Waku) — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 18:37:00 +0000

A iPhone user has made a video on youtube to bring a special message to Apple. In his video he typed this quoted message in the Notes app. Watch how fast you can type with the iPhone 3GS!! Wow.

quote:
"We are sick and tired of your dictatorship. We refuse to be suffered by your
iron fist. Google Voice was the last straw. From now on I am a PC where I have
my Freedom"

Then the video continues...He grabs a gun and shoots two bullet holes Straight through the iPhone 3GS. And if that was not enough, he burned the iPhone with fire. The video is very stylish "John Woo a like" made with suitable background music. The iPhone user's profile has the following information:

"I have bought all three generations of iPhones on launch day,
but I cannot take it any longer.

In the end, it was rejection of Google
Voice from the App Store that drove me to this point, but that was just the tip
of the spear. Whether it is their refusal to let other gadgets such as the Palm
Pre interface with iTunes, or their Draconian App Store procedures...I simply
cannot support them with a clear conscience, which is why I chose to end the
life of my iPhone in this manner instead of selling it--after all, who would
want to pass on a cancer to another person?

Apple may have fooled the
world with their witty commercials and bright t-shirts, but they will no longer
fool me. Their approach has helped them gain a sizable chunk of the PC market,
but as their popularity grows, people will begin to see them for what they
really are--a corporation far more "evil" than Microsoft would ever dream to be.

Apple is turning consumerism into communism. Any entity that enforces
such anti-competitive practices and dictates what their paying population can
and cannot have without any explanation, consistency, or reason is communistic.
It's wrong and I will no longer support it."

The point to be made is clear. In addition, you could Blend it :)

iPhone TIPS: Duke Nukem 3D has Arrived in the App Store

noreply@blogger.com (Waku_Waku) — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 19:54:00 +0000

Q: What is the Game Duke Nukem 3D? A: If you are born, lets say, before the 1985, you should remember the first Personal Computers from IBM. After the 80386 processor came out, the first realistic games came to the PC like Wolfenstein and, in 1996 there was a whacked game named DUKE NUKEM 3D. That game was sooo popular because it was a pure addiction to play it. Action, shooting and blood. Today, more than a decade later, this exact the same game is ported to the iPhone iPod Touch platform and available in the App Store for $2,99. With dozens of Game of the Year awards under his belt, Duke remains the King of Action. Larger than life action is what Duke is all about, mixed with humor and innovative explosive action in this 20+ hour game.

Grab your copy via this App Store link $2,99

Game Plot:

Los Angeles. Under attack by aliens intent on stealing our chicks for breeding. Duke Nukem springs into action dealing damage like only he can, making his "insightful" comments along the way. If you've never played a Duke game, this is your chance to see why he's been a fan favorite since 1991, with over 18 original Duke Nukem games since that time. Duke Nukem is not the typical faceless hero -- he's an in-your-face hero who has a personality that doesn't quit. Yes, it's a B-movie plot, but that's what makes it fun!

noreply@blogger.com (Waku_Waku) — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 20:32:00 +0000

Q: What is it? A: 1Hand URL Keyboard is a free utility app [App Store Info]. If you type faster on a traditional numeric keypad [SMS style] than on an full iPhone keyboard, plus you need to type URLs often, then this is what you should try. The question is why mus I type URLs by hand anyways???? Q: Okay I am a URL typer, what is the difference? A: This keyboard consists of lesser keys, thus bigger keys. Personally I can type fast with one thumb with the original keyboard. But for people having a fast SMS thumb this may make things entered faster.

iPhone TIPS: Apple Article Lists Jailbroken iPhone Issues

noreply@blogger.com (Waku_Waku) — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 21:36:00 +0000

Q: What trouble do I get in if I jailbreak my iPhone? A: We have spent several blogposts about jailbreaks. The latest blogpost was the Redsn0w article HERE. However, the findings of the troubles were more user experieces. However, as of yesterday, Apple has published a support article [ HERE ] which cautioned users about jailbreaking the iPhone. Q: What are the most importend issues when according to Apple, if I perform a Jailbreak? A: The title of this article is

"Unauthorized modification of iPhone OS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues"

The highlights of article HT3743 is quoted below:

"As designed by Apple, the iPhone OS ensures that the iPhone and iPod touch operate reliably. Some customers have not understood the risks of installing software that makes unauthorized modifications to the iPhone OS ("jailbreaking") on their iPhone or iPod touch. Customers who have installed software that makes these modifications have encountered numerous problems in the operation of their hacked iPhone or iPod touch. Examples of issues caused by these unauthorized modifications to the iPhone OS have included the following:

Device and application instability: Frequent and unexpected crashes of the device, crashes and freezes of built-in apps and third-party apps, and loss of data.

Unreliable voice and data: Dropped calls, slow or unreliable data connections, and delayed or inaccurate location data.

Disruption of services: Services such as Visual Voicemail, YouTube, Weather, and Stocks have been disrupted or no longer work on the device. Additionally, third-party apps that use the Apple Push Notification Service have had difficulty receiving notifications or received notifications that were intended for a different hacked device. Other push-based services such as MobileMe and Exchange have experienced problems synchronizing data with their respective servers.

Compromised security: Security compromises have been introduced by these modifications that could allow hackers to steal personal information, damage the device, attack the wireless network, or introduce malware or viruses.

Shortened battery life: The hacked software has caused an accelerated battery drain that shortens the operation of an iPhone or iPod touch on a single battery charge.

Inability to apply future software updates: Some unauthorized modifications have caused damage to the iPhone OS that is not repairable. This can result in the hacked iPhone or iPod touch becoming permanently inoperable when a future Apple-supplied iPhone OS update is installed.

Apple strongly cautions against installing any software that hacks the iPhone OS. It is also important to note that unauthorized modification of the iPhone OS is a violation of the iPhone end-user license agreement and because of this, Apple may deny service for an iPhone or iPod touch that has installed any unauthorized software. "

Q: familiar? A: Ehmmm, wow, these problems looks very familiar. When we look at the world wide iPhone forums and blogs we read a lot about drained batteries, Ghost Push Notifications, cannot connect to YouTube etc, etc. The most important message Apple is bringing in this article is in the last 3 lines:

"Apple may deny service"

"Apple strongly cautions against installing any software that hacks the iPhone OS. It is also important to note that unauthorized modification of the iPhone OS is a violation of the iPhone end-user license agreement and because of this, Apple may deny service for an iPhone or iPod touch that has installed any unauthorized software.
