So around a month ago I saw Micro$oft advertise free downloads of their prototype browser, which looked like it directly competes with Apple's new iPhone browser. It shows the entire website and allows zoomage and all that jive stuff. I went to download it but they already closed the download when I arrived.
I immediately searched here to see if anyone was talking about it but to no avail. Now, I can't even remember it's name.
Does anyone know about this or where I could download this?
http://labs.live.com/deepfish/
Awesome..
Does anyone have this as a download hosted privately? If that is illegal then I apologize and wouldn't ask.
Deepfish works by going through Microsoft's server which does the processing. Each user has a unique registration code which is sent to deepfish's server with every use of the browser, so even if you do get a copy of the software, it's useless without your own code. They disable codes that are used by multiple people, so people are not likely to share. I posted my code here (or maybe at hofo) awhile back and I got a notice from the deepfish people explaining this, and telling me that my code was disabled. They sent me a new one, though, and suggested I not share it.
In my opinion the picsel browser that somebody posted here also is much better at the same functionality.
Ah, so it's Microsoft's version of skweezer or loband.org ... I'd feel a little uneasy sending ALL of my internet traffic via Microsoft's servers, they know too much about me already.
Might give the beta a go though should I ever get an invite.
Hey Everyone,
Wanted to tell all of you about a neat app we're developing, called Flexilis.
It's a mobile security suite for Windows Mobile devices, that keeps your device and data safe from loss, theft, hackers, viruses, malware, spam, and more.
We've currently opened signups for our private beta testing, if you're interested in checking it out, just hit up http://beta.flexilis.com and sign up, and feel free to chat about the product here
If anyone has questions or runs into trouble, just shoot us an email at [email protected] and we'll help you out!
-Chris
Community Director,
Flexilis Inc.
[email protected]
Also, if any of you request an invite and it hasnt gotten granted within a day or so, let me know and I'll take care of it.
If you weren't asking for so much personal information, you might actually get people to try your app...
we're actually working on revising that, the reason we ask for the phone number is because it's used to sms you your download link for the software later on in the process, we're in the process of moving that to later on in the process, as well as an explanation of why we ask for it.
Thanks for the feedback!
-Chris

Hey man,
nice thing with this soft, that we give the phone number is not so a big problem i think. could you post a little bit infos about the program? Cause on your side there a not many informations.
But i ithink i'll give it a try...
I just have one little question, on you privacy page you write:
When you use the Flexilis Services, our servers automatically record certain information about your usage. These logs may include information such as the IP address, mobile device identification number, phone number, operating system, version information, wireless carrier, web requests, browser type, browser language, referring pages, landing pages, pages viewed, or other usage information.

Why do record the pages we visit?
we're still working on a little bit of a tour/walkthrough area of the software on the front page, as we get closer to public beta, but for now there's nothing there yet. My first post in this thread gives a brief summary of it though. Feel free to shoot me an email at [email protected] with any questions!
-Chris
There's nothing in the software that tracks the pages you view or anything, what that refers to is on our end we track what pages users use on the flexilis website the most, much the same way other websites do, to track what pages and content on our site our most popular, etc.

I'm still not sure what your program do, but it certainly doesn't behave the way I expect.
1) Why to require authorization so often?
2) Contrary to the stated phone number is not accepted for authorization. Only email.
3) I don't really know what you mean by "a few minutes", but currently Flexilis is authorizing my phone already for more than two hours. I see no progress bar and I don't understan what's going.
4) I can't stop authorization process.
5) Why the authorization process continues even when I close all connections? Did you invent new method of communication?
6) The program is hidden from task managers and process viewers. What for?
I didn't sniff the traffic but currently behavior of your program reminds more of malware rather than security software.
My conclusion: As I don't understand what your program is doing, I'm not going to test it anymore until additional guidance is provided.
Sorry, if I'm sounding harsh. It's just writing style (tough work, you know )
No worries
1] once it's authorized the first time, it shouldnt have to authorize again, what kind of phone are you authorizing it on? we're making some fixes to the authorization process to make it even simpler that should roll out in the next release.
2] if you're outside of the US, you might need to add your country code and such if that's the case, let me know, or send me an email to [email protected] so we can look into it.
3] per all authorization questions, it'll try til its authorized, again we're fixing this.
4] per the it being hidden from task managers, we've given this some discussion, for right now it's a security feature to try to prevent theives from disabling the software, though we might fix that in the future to have the app visible in there somehow.
As far as being more indepth on all of the features, we are working on a tour of sorts to explain it all before the beta goes public.
Thanks for the feedback!

Authorizing a device ... what a hassle. I finally gave up since I couldn't tell if it was doing anything. No more testing for or feedback from me.
fredcatsmommy: sorry it didnt work out for you. hopefully in the future when that's fixed (should be less than a week), we can lure you back, it does some amazing stuff, but we do run into bugs from time to time due to the vast number of windows mobile devices out there, and only having a small test bed of them to work with. Keep your eyes peeled, and we'll have that fixed soon!

I think you need to tell us what the app actually does?
I have read this and your site and still don't know what it does?
Will hold off on trying it till I know.
How long is the initializing and activating supposed to take?
seriously, the authorizing bugs should have been worked out before releasing a beta here. we cant even tell if its running, authorizing, stealing information from our devices, etc.. I surely hope this is a legit app youre pushing, if so, FIX IT, so we can at least see what it does.
thx
I installed and authorized with no issues what-so-ever... contrary to what everyone else is saying everything seems to work just fine. works great and doesn't seem to take much memory... not a single complaint here!
Advertising your application for beta purposes is usually not a problem. But, it seems you are here more for "recruiting" testers than anything else. Looks like you joined for this purpose only.
My suggestion to you, is to give a little more description on your develpoment. Seems there are too many questions going unanswered here.

I have an HTC Mobul/Titan using default Rom/Radio with WinMo 6.1
To install it I just did what I would any other and installed it onto internal memory...
Correction: The application works just fine if you don't have push e-mail (aren't connected to a remote exchange server), I have been having problems all day with my push e-mail from mail2web which I use to forward my work e-mail to my phone. I have therefore decided to remove it as I can't afford to have it interfere with work.
has anyone tried this yet...

More importantly, anyone else getting a virus hit on the file by the name of WS.Reputation.1?
I posted on this subject in the development thread.
I wasn't sure if this subject belongs here or there.
Now comes an article raising the possibility of the phone being blacklisted on the marketplace when MS detects the unlock has taken place:
http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2010/11/25/windows-phone-7-unlocker-released/
Worse than a virus hit. I actually got it. It changed my host file by adding a couple localhost redirects... Every time I clicked on a Google seach result, it would redirect me to some crappy excuse of a search engine. Relatively easy to fix though.
no virus hit and havent encountered the redirect problem... am wondering the same with the blacklist issue but i guess it will be a wait and see as with most unlock/jailbreak issues...

LOL...man, is this typical or what? I can see this Windows Phone business is going to be an uphill struggle every step of every way. Swell.

While MS might know if you unlock your phone to sideload apps I don't think they'll take the step of banning a user completely from the marketplace. Doing so would backfire because there is no way this user is ever going to pay for an app; he'll be forced to look for cracked ones, not something MS would want.
Also from this message, it doesn't seem they are taking this sideloading business too seriously, which is good. Now XDA, please bring on some goodies. I need a File Explorer and a Media Player like free version of old Core Player

i THINK THAT WOULD DEPEND ON JUST HOW MANY PEOPLE UNLOCK THEIR PHONES... KILLING A FEW THOUSAND TO SEND A MESSAGE MIGHT JUST BE WHAT MS DOES..
I know it's not relevant to everyone, but I've been contacted by a few people asking what's going on, so I figured I'd just make a post about it.
I decided to move the site to a more powerful server this morning. I regretfully trusted my web hosts "one-click" option and it royal botched things up. To make matters worse, it updated the DNS settings BEFORE the new server was up and running, which is why the site is down. I've reverted back to the old server for the time being, but it will take a while for the DNS change to propagate.
In summary: The site is down. I'm really sorry. I'm working on getting it back up as soon as possible.
Update @ 4:00pm PST: The DNS TTL is finally starting to expire, so the site should be coming back online for most. If it's not up for you yet, it should be within the hour. Again, I'm very sorry for any inconvenience this caused.

Its a great site and resource for all things Fire TV. I've used it many times. Hope you are back up and running soon.
Any chance you could post your DNS records here so I can get to it now?
My 2nd FireTV just got here today and I went to view your guides on how to avoid auto-upgrading (if I'm lucky enough to have an older firmware) and I couldn't reach your page.
Nevermind - I used OpenDNS's cache check to get your working ip (208.113.161.249) and updated my DNS server to hard code it.. Just have to remember to delete it tomorrow..
thanks
Thanks for posting it. I was worried some may have happen. Like amazon tired something.good to know you and the site are ok. Keep up the good work.
its back online yay
Had a few questions about Fire TV news:
Do you know if/when the netflix app will get a new UI? Any recent news on hbo go app? Will they ever allow you to place games on external storage? Those are really the only issues i have with the device. Thanks, love your site.
Thanks for your efforts on your site. Its pretty much the defacto standard for AFTV stuff. I go there at least several times a week.

We all know that, we need a Wireguard Account and its application to use Wireguard VPN(AzireVPN) services.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I should clarify that WireGuard ≠ AzireVPN. WireGuard is an open source VPN protocol and implementation project I started. AzireVPN is one of many providers selling commercial service to their particular WireGuard servers. Beyond that, they are pretty separate and unrelated.
With that out of the way, I'd encourage people not to use the attached zips of the original post here. They contain private keys -- which are evidently no longer private -- which means that if any other XDAers are using it, you'll be kicked off by each other and the thing will basically be unusable. More obviously, this also means there are grave security issues, since anybody can impersonate you, since your private key is shared with the world. It's sort of like if a stranger on the street gave you a microphone with an antenna attached and said, "you can trust this microphone with all your secrets, I swear", and then walked away with no further explanation. Don't talk into microphones given to you by strangers.

Hi @zx2c4
Thank you for clarifying certain things. As per your post there are several security issues which is a matter of concern. I thought its a great idea to use wireguard vpn because this just works fine. Since *Public Key* resides in the *.conf files whenever i use world-writable permission for *.conf files and setup the VPN connection. It warns me at the time of execution of script not to use *world-writable* permission. So i changed the permission to *owner* only and make them sticky. After this everything seems working fine.

Your irrelevant response here isn't at all related to the security issue at hand, which probably indicates you don't understand the security issue. If you tell the world your private keys, those private keys are no longer secure. Your zip files contain static private keys. Hence, they are no longer private.
I'd strongly recommend you take down this post before others use it and find themselves in a dangerous situation. It looks like you put a lot of hard commendable work into this release, and so I'm very sorry to deliver the bad news to you.
Regrettably I won't have the time to field additional follow-ups on the matter. However, I'd encourage those reading not to use the zips attached to the original post.
