Surprisingly we dont yet have monitor mode, airsniffing, or aircracking capabilities within android. The drivers are open source and require some modifications for these features to be taken advantage of. How hard would it be for the dev's here to rewrite the wireless drivers to enable monitor mode? Also wouldnt it be neat to have a android/debian mix'ed rom where we can apt-get things right to the phone instead of a chrooted environment? It would be cool to see some more hacking at this and other things. Let's unleash the wireless functionality of these devices.
It would be cool to get aircrack working on our devices, people with iphones got monitor mode working, just not injection. From what I have seen injection is possible for us, so whats keeping us back from unleashing it?
Also Metasploit Mobile would be a killer addition to android if it only requires python
Ok It seems monitor mode is possible on the bcm4329 chipset which is in our devices and needs a rewrite

Bump. I would like to see this, albeit it would suffice with just the monitor mode for me (wireshark type app would be pretty awesome (

yea it would be really nice to be able to sniff via monitor mode
Yep. if anyone knows much about this sort of thing. This would be a nice add-on
This will be one of the best feature of the phone =D
Noob here. Can someone break down what all this can do for us?
Thanks!

For once it will allow the phone to act as a packet sniffer. Pretty useful if you are into monitoring network activities
I'd love to see a port for our phones.
Yes, this is exactly why I made a thread asking for help getting Debian running on our phones
BTW which someone already has done and has a how-to guide here http://blog.coralic.nl/2010/08/17/ubuntu-on-samsung-galaxy-s-android/
Don't want to lead anyone off with that link, just wanted to plug that in in case anyone else wanted to try it.
But truly this is where the true FUN is, you know. I would love to use a wireshark like type app or aircrack for that matter. I would die to have apt-get built in to the OS.
I have actually been considering working on a project like this for a few weeks. I'll see what's involved next week when I'm on vacation. Ultimately I was hoping to port something similar to kismet to the Galaxy S phone with nice GUI for wireless network penetration testing.
If anyone else has systems development experience and wants to work with me on this, PM me and we can get in touch.
To be honest with you guys.
It would be best to get in contact with HD MOORE of Metasploit or the authors of this software and request for a port.
The metasploit port woul be easy. as it only requires python.
I am personal friends of his.

Metasploit, if it only requires Python, is probably trivial to port to Android. I'm personally interested in working on Aircrack, Monitor Mode, and Packet Injection. These are very different projects and perhaps should be two separate threads.

HDMoore: @androidunleashd would be slick, we need a solid ruby, persistent daemon, less mem use
Correct. Get those things ported to android. and his frame work will work. Which includes WEP cracking.
I think this is one of my most favorite threads so far. I'm excited to see what comes of all this, I too would love to see metasploit ported to Android, how pwerful would our precious little vibrants be then?
I have been wondering when a project like this would happen. Thinking of all the possibilities makes me giddy.

I mentioned this when the first hacks started coming out that were restricted to the firmware.it looks like sony is going to be forcinggamers to update their firmware to play at least 1 new game and probably will on more. The psfreedom/psgroove days may not last long.

Without be reading anything extra, doesn't the PS3 already make you update to a new FW w/ new games or playing online? I think it's some new PSP game that's going to make you update your PSP FW....right?

MOH game will force you to update and so will the new Gran Turismo and im sure more are coming too
Yes your right about Sony forcing updates with new games. But that will not stop psgroove / freedom. This is just the beginning. They are working on cfw. It also won't be long until something like wiiscrub comes along and rids of the update partition. Or they find a way to patch the game. Best case scenario stay away from new games until they figure out the kinks.

Anyhow - why is this in with the evo stuff?
agreed. why is this in the evo forum? there is a playstation forum for this.
its sad that this site used to be the Holy Grail for development now its just gone down hill with all of this off topic banter.
and yes i know my post adds to the off topic however it needs to be said... this is my only comment on this though....
where are the mods?

It fits in the evo forum because u can use the evo to jailbreak your ps3. Probly should just be in the Android forum tho cuz u can use a lot of android phones for it. But that's y when u hack a console its good to keep a 2nd cheaper model to play online and for situations like this. But I guarantee that there will be a workaround for the update.
it's not even like this is new news. There have already been some games that required the first 3.42 update. Here you are worrying about 3.50? lol
The reason i posted it here is because as mentioned 1) you can use the EVO to apply the PSgroove/psfreedom hack and many on this forum DO.Could i have posted it in general Addroid sure i could have however not all android phones can be used so i guess under troll reasoning it shouldnt be posted there either and 2) "A. general is for general information. you have something to share? post it there." The purpose of a general forum is to allow you to post "general" information. As this is General Information and does actually apply to some evo owners i will ignore the people not intelligent enough to get it. I am all for people posting in the right sections however in this case the trolls need to get over it.
Now back on topic It took 4 years to get a working hack for PS3 and they still havent gotten around the new firmware. while it may be possible that they can work around other aspects to get these new games running ... there isnt much of a track record thus why i used the word MAY. I wouldn't hold my breath on everything working out at least quickly and in that case how many people are going to wait around for months to pick up a new game especially some of the highly anticipated ones (gt 5, MOH, rumored COD and assasins creed).
The big difference with this new plan is it doesn't just require you to update to play online, It requires you to update to play period and that the update is actually built into the disk (versus being online which is currently used for updates and can currently be circumvented.) This is not how updates are currently handled and it is going to start showing up on games coming out in the very near future.
Yeah its been done before, not with all the games but I expect this to be more common now with the jailbreaking.
Heard the new MoH isn't that good though. Anyone play it?

Sorry, but this thread has nothing to do with the EVO, Android, or even mobile phones, so I will place it in Off Topic.

Im looking for a new phone (again), and im tired of buying phones for their os, (its costing me money), so ive been looking for that "godly" phone that can do them all. so far ive been looking on youtube and google and seen it run gingerbread, windows XP and heard it will soon run windowsphone7 (i wasnt that curious about apple os), but i know that it wont run them smoothly, and it cost about 300 on eBay. so is it worth the price (and i heard meamo isnt "user friendly"), and is there a phone that can run all os's?

I have one, it's mad slow compare to my android, because maemo is not updating anymore. I also had it run on android, but the development also seems to stopped. I haven't tried meego tho. I still have the phone, 32gb is pretty fun as a mp3 player with wifi and browser with flash.
how did it run android because with hardware capable of running winxp im thinking itll run it like it was made for it, also its has a resistive touchscreen, so does that mean it isnt capable of multitouch?

Yes it doesn't have multitouch. Also resistive screens need more strong tapping to work compared to capacitive that you have to barely touch them. It's not an everyday use phone and not user friendly at all
I still have and love a N900. I found it easy to use with a great UI and the resistive screen an advantage, not a negative. Most of all it gave me a real Linux distro in my pocket with true multitasking that blows away Android.
I gave up using it for daily use only because of:
1. The lack of future support from Nokia for Maemo/MeeGo due to Nokia being paid by Microsoft to switch to WP7.
2. Not wanting to be locked into 1 manufacturer ala Apple/iPhone. That was my biggest concern when I bought a N900 but it was just irresistable and I pulled the trigger anyway.
3. Certain apps I use a lot have equal or better versions for Android than Maemo/MeeGo.
If MeeGo ever gains real traction and is supported by multiple manufacturers with real MeeGo devices, I'll drop Android like a bad habit.

Yes good phone
Guys, the N900 it's not for all. If you don't want to mess up with linux go buy an android phone.
for the price, not being capable of multitouch, and meamo being left, i dont think its worth it, but is there a way for it to support multitouch with its resistive touch screen, like how the xperia 10 didnt support multitouch but then there was a hack on xda to make it.

You're absolutely right! But the "big boys" will never let linux to spread on smartphones like they did on all sorts of other embedded systems. For them is just a cancer. Think of N900 as the first and I really hope not last of how a true "smart" phone should be.
Ps: I still remember the massive debates few years ago maemo/meego vs android

I got one of the 1st G1s. Then I got one of the 1st N900s. Now I'm back to Android for daily use but not happy about it. Android and the apps have come a long way since the original G1 but still leaves me wanting. I'm hoping for a MeeGo miracle, but I'm afraid at this point it'll take a miracle for MeeGo to make a dent in the market.
P.S. The debate wasn't that long ago - I got the N900 in late '09. And it's actually still going on.

even though meamo's been dropped and the no multiouch problem, reading the comments below and seeing how loyal people are to it, i think im gona do it. if it sucks then ill sell it and stick to my droid

The N900 is still a lot of fun to play with and still reasonably speedy compared to more recent phones if overclocked. A real Linux distro in your pocket. Nothing else quite like it. Well, there's the new N9 but that's a lot more $$ than a used N900 and no hardware keyboard.
Be sure to check out maemo.org and the talk.maemo.org forums, which are still very active.

My brother has an N900. It's kind of laggy and has problems connecting to WiFi networks

lets say someone were to put a capacitive touchscreen in the n900, i think it has the hardware to run multitouch (just not the screen), would it work?

All of this is just to complicated, I'm gona go with an iphone4, I wish it could do multi-touch, and I wish I wasn't so fussy about it not, because this is a powerful phone, but since maemos gone I was probably gona put android on it but I couldn't be able to play some apps because of the lack of (you already know)

N900 is not for the masses. So simple.
Regarding the lack of multitouch and problems with wifi connection I have to thank you for my long laugh here
If you think that android is full of linux staff or it's a well built os then you ve got problem.

You do realize that substrate, if actually taken advantage of, will completely blow away xposed and the need to flash zips and would allow us to do a lot more when it comes to modding android? The one thing jailbroken iPhones have over android is the tweaking and modding is actually better because of substrate. I still have my old iPhone 4 jailbroken and the tweaks and what not are a lot better than android. Though because jailbreaks are harder to come by now and take a long time to make, I left that scene and joined android. Very happy with my decision but still, substrate is amazing.

I had it installed and it practically made my phone unusable. I installed winterboard and rebooted and it made every single app on the device crash. Nothing would open at all. Thank God for the holding volume down on boot trick because otherwise it would have required a new install. Not even safemode would work

Wow I didnt wanna start a debockle. It was just a question, and I agree if it worked which I assume In time it will.. cause evidently there are more people pro for it then apposed to it. And if it worked for apple as well as it does it could make android awesome .
Cydia ui tweaks and mods are very unique for what they do for a iPod and if that same concept opens it's doors for android it's all good from there .
Saurik, wouldn't have waisted his time if he had not planned for success at this .He clearly succeded with cydia and apple.
Anyways lets not sit here and bash and get off topic, the topic and question was just a moderate simple one.... and already blown out of proportion

I used mobile substrate when I had an iPhone it was great and was needed for iOS, but on Android it really isnt needed in my opinion.
Since Google haven't opened up whitelisting for the developers and with the new possibilities for rooted users to make their own whitelist I REALLY regret I let my unit from the first batch of ChromeCast upgrade.
So any new possibility in sight for any new root method for later firmwares?

Me too. :crying:
Unfortunately this is unlikely. Google has the boot loader thoroughly locked down now, and it's not like you can install apps on the Chromecast. Maybe we can hire a team of virus writers to discover some sort of buffer overrun situation in Youtube.
I wonder exactly how many rootable Chromecast devices are actually out in the wild. I would assume that it is likely less than a couple hundred, and they are either active here, or are lurkers here. Everybody else already updated theirs upon plugging it in and setting it up (or it was already updated to a non-rootable firmware).
With the lack of apps coming out, the lack of available dev interest in rooting these, I am not hopeful. Though I sincerely hope not, I wonder if the four that I bought are never to be used for more than Google lets me.
Sadly I have a variety of streaming devices. Apple and Google nice to look at but not too useful. Roku quite useful. I currently have 103 programs on it. Mostly crap but 10 very useful.
