[Q] [WiFi] SoftAP - More than 8 devices - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'd like to extend the number of devices which can be connected to the mobile hotspot. 8 is not enough for me. I don't get why somebody made such a limit, because on "normal" PC linux there isn't such a limit. Espacialy, that the standard IEEE 802.11 has a limit of 2007 different association IDs. It can't be a hardware issue because the limit used to be 5 in the past, now it's 8, and hardware in my SGS is still the same.
Do you have any ideas, how can I extend the limit? I've search a lot over the net, but found nothing. It seems I'm the only one person in the world who doesn't want the limit? Or is it so simple to do, that nobody want to waste time and explain it? I discovered, that the limit is somewhere in the bcm4392 driver/firmware. Where can I find some custom drivers without such a limit?

I search a Software...

Hi, sorry for my bad English but I'm a German student. I search a software for Hacking WLAN's by my HTC. I'm working often with PC's and WLAN's also I will explain the others how easy it is to hack a WLAN with a "simple" mobile Phone, is there any Software??
Thanks or your Help
P.S.:
I use the software not for illegal activity!!

Yea, because hacking LAN's and telling people how easy it is to hack them isn't illegal.
Yes, but in a German Forum you get often told that you only want to do illegal when you search for this kind of software.
Well, I don't think they exist. For cracking WEP you'll need quite some wlan packets to unveil the 128bit key, not to mention you'll need some RAM and a fast processor. But if you got this key on many wlans you need to spoof another MAC adress and I don't know any solution for MAC spoofing with a pda. Yeah, they are yet quite powerful (500 MHz, 256 MB RAM etc...) but as for closed-source drivers, different architectures etc. I doubt it's as simple as for normal PCs, especially linux-based OSes.
And there is no avoiding the fact that today's WPA and WPA2 encryption algorithms in conjunction with a secure and long enough alphanumeric password are mostly secure, therefore you can consider this is impossible to hack even with the fastest notebooks available in a reasonable period of time. (WEP could be hacked in a few moments, yep)
I don't know if any solution exists, never heard from anything else than active wlan sniffers. I think it's too complicated for any developer to create a piece of software with direct access to wlan hardware registers as there are other architectures as for PCs and notebooks. Even a passive sniffer would be a hard thing to do.
And I doubt that if any solution exists that it works on more than one or two wlan chipsets - as for the most powerful wlan sniffing tool for ppc available. (forgot the name since it doesn't run for me anyhow)
Yeah, you can sniff, log etc, but for hacking... maybe s/o else knows more on this topic.
And just fyi - it's not illegal to OWN this kind of software (just like radar warner or some outlandish telephones) but it's mostly illegal to USE it/them in certain circumstances. Not to mention §§202a, ff; 303 f. StGB. - For demonstration purposes with the permission of the owner it's surely LEGAL... but i am not a lawyer...
...just my five cents...

if you proclaim to be such a guru of the WLAN hacking and cracking, why cant you figure it out on your own.
its like saying i am a pro at stealing beer but i need someone to do it for me.

Exactly!
Maybe its to "launder" the person doing it so It can't be traced back to him.

PC & PPC Security issues

Hi all, it's been a while since I have posted lol, but I got a bit of a situation at our company that the pro's here might be able to help us out with.
We've got some serious trouble with with at least one person (possibly more) in our company, that has been fooling around with way more than the business programs that operate our CNC machines. It has destabilized the OS in our Waterjet, and we have also had to reformat a office PC as well. The way we know, is that only owners have Remote Desktop access set up on these machines, and we have seen other remote access names popping up now, around the same time as really bad system problems & bugs have been showing up. The one older Waterjet, if it is cashed to the point of a reformat, the whole machine will be scrap, as the the one of a kind coding between the MB and the internal PMAC card (controller card) will not be able to be replaced.
Also the company has a few HTC phones, Tytn, TytnII, and a Diamond that get charged throughout the day in areas that can not be secured from everyone. We believe they have been used to send confidential data and pictures of our company by someone else as well. As personal phones are not allowed.
My question is, out of ALL the junk & useless spam programs out there that do not do what they say. What is there that our company can reliably use and install on our company PC's & at least the HTC Diamond as well(as others will be upgraded) to covertly monitor and or record either on the host machine, or preferably a remote administers PC all that happens on these devices all running windows platform? The program must also be able to run in stealth mode and have no conflicts with anti virus programs. We are using Avast now, but considering the severity of this, the company would switch to a new solution that would work seamlessly and undetectable in order to weed out the perpetrator, and any future one's as well.
The Legal part of this for those wondering:
Other companies we do business with here have also had to combat this same problem. As long as it is the companies PC's & PC phones and on the premises, anything and everything that is carried out on these pieces of equipment is able to be monitored (without notice, as it is a voluntary act to place information on someone else's property on their premises). It also legally becomes the companies property and full rights of use in legal matters. At least in our country there is still one last shred of something that can help out the victims & not the criminal. Here we have to welcome in a home intruder and make sure he doesn't stub his toe on the door on the way out, or else we end up getting sued for damages, all the mean while he gets released with another line on his rap sheet!

Any professional solutions is greatly appreciated.

[Q] KAISER -> MIFI DEVICE .. making something very useful out of an old device

Hi,
I was thinking about buying a second MIFI device and I have a couple of old windows mobile devices (TYTN 2) stuck in the cupboard gathering dust and i thought hey some clever person must be able to bake a MIFI ROM for these devices to make them really useful.
Its a shame that thousands of these are discarded and the same people discarding them go out and buy brand new MIFI devices for their wifi ipads and laptops when they could recyle these to give them similar functionality for nothing.
We have a microsd card for a bit of LAN storage as with the MIFI .. anyone interested or is it time to bin windows mobile devices completely
I have to say though I have never seen WPA wifi tetheringon a kaiser :-(

Wifi tethering on a Kaiser is completely doable and has been for some time now, running Android.
Drivers and such have been a bugger to get (or make from scratch), but I can tether my Kaiser via USB or WIFI and use my mobile network for internet.
I think WM6.0 allowed sharing the mobile data connection, I just never tried it on my own device while 6.0 was still on it.
P.S.: I will take those Kaisers off your hands for a partly donation...lol.

[Q] Networking Windows Phone 8

I have been looking all around the internet for a way to network a Windows Phone 8 to a homegroup. I am an Android user and will remain one, however I would like to also have the benefits of a WP. I bought a Nokia Lumia 520 (T-Mobile), however I have no plans to activate it. I bought the $99 phone to access a NAS, upload and dl content from it. All I have found at this point is how to connected it to WiFi when I google Network Windows Phone 8. I am not trying to connect it to the internet I am trying to network the phone. I would like to be able to map the phones memory as a drive. Does anybody know how to do this?
Not even close to possible, not at this time.
First of all, WP8 has no support for SMB (the network protocol used for Windows messaging). There are apps which implement it, at least partially, but that's it.
Second, the vast majority of the WP8 file system is inaccessible to users. All that you would be able to access is things like documents and music, and the isolated storage of whatever app you used.
Third, why would you do this? I mean, you can buy a few gigs of NAS for a hell of a lot cheaper than $100, with better performance characteristics and without reserving a bunch of space for an OS.
I've held for some time that WP8 devices should be able to connect to Homegroups (and ideally other SMB networks) but MS doesn't seem to care. That was mostly so I could transfer files onto and off of the phone while using it as my phone, though, not as some ludicrously overpriced bit of networked storage...

I already have a NAS. I wanted to be able to pull video and music files from the NAS and on to my phone. I also wanted to be able to use the NAS as a source of storage for the phone. It would have been sweet to have my NAS as a mapped drive on my WP..... I am saddened to know that my Android can kind of do this with SAMBA, but my WP can not. I have seen many people get blasted on here for complaining about WP after they buy the phone and not doing the research before hand. I guess I shouldn't have assumed a windows phone would integrate into my windows network.
Edit:
I did thank you for answering my question, however I didn't overlook your desire to degrade my post. I never said I wanted to use it as an overpriced NAS, I said I wanted to be able to map the memory of the phone to transfer files off of my NAS and on to my phone.
Apologies for misunderstanding your intentions; when you mentioned connecting the phone to the network and mapping its storage as drive, but not activating it, that's what it sounded like. Yeah... while it is too bad you bought the phone without checking this first, one really would assume that Windows Phone 8 could connect to Windows networks...
I used Metro File manager to access SMB in the past, I don't know what are you trying to do.

Get RSSI of a known BT device

Hi, I'm trying to unlock my phone using the bluetooth near feature of tasker, but the problem is that the range in wich the phone unlocks is too big (arround 5 meters +).
So i made a small reasearch on the web looking for another solutions, and i discover that is possible to read the RSSI value of a bluetooth device in order to know the distance between the band and the phone.
I found how to get the RSSI value in a thread on stack overflow (I'm not allowed to post links since i don't have 10 posts yet), but simply search "Get bluetooth signal strength" on Google.
But my programming skills are in the very basics yet, and the code scans all the Bluetooth devices (i think) and i just want to know the RSSI value of a single bluetooth device based on the MAC adress.
So, I would like to ask if anyone knows how to import this code to tasker, or just creating a script to continusly export the RSSI value based on a known MAC adress, to a text file.
BTW, im using Android 6.0 CM13 on a HTC One M8 (in case its needed)
Thanks in adance.
