I just bought 32 HTC Wizards (Qtek 9100) for my company, now i'm looking for some software for administration of the PPC over GPRS.
Is anyone familiar with such software?
No one?
what kind of administration software are you looking for?
What kind of administration tasks were you thinking of doing over GPRS???
PocketPuTTY for SSH1/SSH2/TELNET access to linux/windows based systems.. Should work over GPRS, although I have never tried it.
For Windows admin I would probably use VNC, the clients I've tried are, "z2 remote 2 pc" and "realVNC" .. I find the first better due to its zooming function, but I am totally unsure if it works over GPRS, I'm pretty sure it has an option to connect via GPRS so you might be lucky !
There is also Terminal Services which comes installed on your PPC anyway
hope that helps somewhat..
I'm looking for something like VNC, but wasn't able to find any were the server side, would run on PPC. And what I know of, the z2 Remote2PC can't run as a server on PPC. Or just remote configuration. the gprs is a must, becourse the ppc's are in motion all the time, and always connected.
Ah I see what you require now, you want to remotely connect TOO the PPC's not from them.. Well, there is software that allows you to do this, it is unlikely it will work how you wish. GPRS provides the following services..
* Point-to-point (PTP) service: internetworking with the Internet (IP protocols) and X.25 networks.
* Point-to-multipoint (PT2MP) service: point-to-multipoint multicast and point-to-multipoint group calls.
* Short Message Service (SMS): bearer for SMS.
As far as I can tell PtP is used for Internet connectivity, but as far as dialing INTO that I would doubt it to be possible, even if the devices had constant WIFI access it would be pretty hard based on the number of devices that would need to be contacted. Although these are simply assumptions.
I would like to hear what everyone is using for the following
VPN - I am trying the BlueFire Client, and it seems okay
SSH - The Cambridge Util is the only one I am aware of right now
IP Utils - I am using Cambridges VxUtil. It seems okay, I have used it in the past
Firewall - ??
Terminal Svcs - Is thier a better client than the OEM ver? It seems a bit limited..
Any other Networking utils that you would recomend??
Thanks a lot..
and what about OpenVPN for PPC - looks good

Hello
VPN : i use openvpn pocketpc on my WM VI ... but that's not a really good solution because CommManager is not aware of this connection --> applications that connect through CommManager don't use VPN :/
SSH : http://www.pocketputty.net/
IPUtils : like you, but im looking for a route editor
Good luck
Not aware of one.

Do you think a Firewall app would be worth $10 bucks? I've thought of building one, since there's really no protection from WiFi or BT attacks. The GPRS/EDGE/3G should be firewalled at the carrier.
Whew I have been really busy at work and I just got back to checking this thread.. Thanks for the tips on SSH and VPN.
I got the Bluefire VPN working after a little bit of hassle. The client does not support Split Tunnel and i get a lot of frame errors on my VPN concentrator when connected but it does seem to work.
I'll have to check out the OpenVPN and the SSH clients you guys posted.
As far as firewall goes. I think it is just a matter of time before we start seeing attacks aginst devices.
A firewall would be nice but it may cause some headaches with other apps.. Also even though the carrier data nets are firewalled where they connect to the Public Internet that might not protect you from connections from other devices on the carrier network.

What would you do with the router editor?
Hi, ive got a wizard and was wondering what software i can use to connect to different wireless networks like odyssey client but freeware or not very expensive.
Thanks,
Kurt
There is an app called Hitchhiker (just google), its free and easy but you need to install .NET CF 2 (check MS website).
You can use devicescape at www.devicescape.com which automatically connects you to most hotspots and allows you to share your home networks with buddies.
Hello friends,
Like many of the people here at XDA, I try to get as much advanced use out of my Windows Mobile phone as I can. I am a ‘computer geek’ trying to make my Windows Mobile phone as close to a complete ‘computer experience’ as possible. I would like to ask what ‘advanced’ tools you guys use. We will start off with the list below, all of which run under Windows Mobile 6.1.
1. Command Prompt (DOS Prompt, CLI) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606393
2. NetCat running under Command Prompt listed above (http://prt.fernuni-hagen.de/~bischoff/wince/), Swiss Army Knife of Networking, the possibilities of this tool are nearly endless!
3. HTC Band Switch (turn off 3G, allow EDGE only, toggle settings, built into HTC’s Windows Mobile 6.1 image)
4. DynDNS Pocket 1.0 (Enable use of the DynDNS dynamic IP service, especially useful if your mobile operator provides you a public dynamic IP address and you want a static URL tied to your phone. Create an account at www.dyndns.com, but note that your username and password are sent cleartext over the network connection).
5. HTC Field Test Tool (Get mobile provider statistics, signal strength in dbm, RSSI, selection parameters, etc).
6. Mobile Firewall 3.5 (AirScanner Corp, does not work perfectly on Rhodium but I can view what IP addresses are pinging or attacking me, including source and destination IPs, and also view local listening connections to see which network services I’m making available)
7. FTP Orneta Client 1.03 (provides an FTP client)
8. FTP Server Mocha 1.0 (run an FTP server from your phone, see log of IPs that connect to you, traffic send and received)
9. Pocket Hosts by Zimmermann 1.5 (Edit your local hosts file, for ultra geeks)
10. vxIPConfig 0.9.5 – IP Config, Get Your IP, subnet mask, DHCP server, lease times, TTL statistics, datagram information, etc,)
11. Pocket IRC 1.2.5 by Code North Software (Internet Relay Chat client)
12. wmIRC 2.3 (Another Internet Relay Chat client)
13. NbtstatCE 0.05 (Scan remote machines on network, check NetBios, ping, set NetBios scan delay in milliseconds, set packet size, and timeout limits)
14. Microsoft Network Analyzer 1.0 (Get IPConfig info, ping localhost, ping HTTP server, get net stats, all output goes to a well-parsed text log file).
15. Network Monitor (PPC InterfaceMonitor 0.23.3615) by Florian Drews (View a bar graphic chart of network connections, megabytes sent and received per session, traffic utilization, works on both cellular and WiFi).
16. 3GTest (eecs.umich.edu/3GTest) (Provides detailed network link throughput information, DNS lookup latency information, information on common ports your mobile provider is blocking, etc. However, be aware that your connection test information does get sent to the application developer, as this is part of someone’s university project).
17. vxUtil 1.6.7 (DNS Audit, port scanner, trace route, ping sweep, whois, etc, a complete suite of network testing tools).
18. PocketPing (Ping and view return ping times)
19. PocketPutty build Feb 28th, 2007 Development Version (SSH Client, supports reverse tunneling and most of the features of the regular desktop Putty, reverse proxy service, xterm emulation, IPv4 and IPv6 support. However, it does not have SOCKS support).
20. zaDesktop 0.9.7 – Remote Desktop Client (Terminal Services), similar to the built-in Windows Mobile client but additionally provides support for adjusting screen size, service port (allow use of not only 3389 but any port you want). Supports loop-back (127.0.0.1) connections with no problem (when used with a reverse SSH proxy or such)
21. WiFi Remote 1.0 by Julien Manici (Allow access to your device via a web page using your WiFi connection). Will normally only work on WiFi LAN unless you are running a reverse tunnel, in which case it will work over cellular data (EDGE or 3G). Could be a security hole if you leave this on and forget about it, could expose your device to your local LAN, and possibly WAN if your mobile provider allows hosting from your cell phone IP address.
22. Microsoft Remote Desktop – The client which is built into Windows Mobile, works great but cannot zoom.
23. Mobilier (view and control your phone from a USB connected computer)
24. Remote Tracker 0.10i by Joubert Vasconcelos (Can send GPS or other data if phone is misplaced, SIM IMSI is logged, however I have not tested this program at all).
25. Mobile Sniffer 2.21 by AirScanner (Supposed to function as a mobile ethernet network sniffer, similar to WireShark, complete with promiscuous mode, but I cannot get it running on the Tmobile Rhodium because the GUI controls are not operatable using my phone, I am unsure what the problem is. Neither hardware keyboard nor the touchscreen respond properly to this application, it would be great to get it working though, can anyone assist?).
26. Handy Sniffer 1.6 (Functions as a mobile ethernet network sniffer, similar to WireShark, and it does work but I can only get it to sniff from a the WiFi adapter on the wireless LAN, I cannot get it to sniff from an EDGE or 3G connection. Provides details such as ARP table information, protocol information, sending raw packets from file, provides detailed statistic information based on protocol, etc. You can also export your sniffed log file, which you can probably open with WireShark).
27. SocksProxy Moblware 1.0 (Run a Socks Proxy on your device, provides KBps in and out, I have not tested this application personally).
28. Pocket Speed Test 1.0 by Smartivia (Very nice mobile speed test application, provides your average speed in kbit/s by downloading a small file which is then discarded.)
29. SSH Client mToken 4.3.0 by Choung.net (The best Windows Mobile SSH client I have seen, allows port forwarding, reverse SSH tunnels, SSH Known Hosts, telnet, a complete address book, direct COM port connection (untested), modem TAPI (untested), and a very comprehensive Ping/Trace Route function). Works better and much more stable than PocketPutty, but is a commercial product (Pocketputty is freeware)
30. Penetration Testing Tools TigerSuite 3.0 (Hex Editor ‘File Hack’, IP Subnetter, Remote Trojan Scanner, Host Collaboration, Stealth Scanning, Port FIN Scanner, Session Sniffers, Service Recognition and Verification, TigerSim Virtual Server Simulators, WLAN Scanning with RC Site Query, this last WLAN functionality has not shown to work on the Tmobile Rhodium).
31. wmTorrent Torrent Client (supports DHT (trackerless torrent); PEX (Peer Exchange); plain text and RC4 Protocol Encryption; HTTP Seeding; torrent extensions). This application has not been tested.
32. TxRx Test by Moshe Valenci (Test your network throughput by installing this application on two phones, or a phone and Windows computer, this program will run under MS Windows XP as well.
33. VNC Viewer Enterprise build Oct 5th 2007 (VNC viewer will all options, desktop resizing, etc).
34. VNC Server 1.4.0.0 for Mobiles (Pocketvnc.com, runs as a VNC server on your phone on any port you choose. I do not know of any other remote login utilize for Windows Mobile, but this one is tested and works great! Do you know another remote login utility for Windows Mobile?)
35. zoomVNC 1.00 (Another VNC viewer with advanced zoom functionality).
36. VNC Viewer .NET 1.0.1.17, (Build April 24 2007 by Rocky Lo, yet another VNC viewer).
37. Mobile Web Server (Another mobile web server which will serve on any port, also has a DynDNS client built in, not tested extensively).
38. tinyCAM 0.9.1 by S. Niquille (This will make your phone into a remote webcam, accessible over WiFi or even cellular if you run a reverse tunnel (or if your mobile provider allows direct hosting of services from your phone. It can also upload your shots to an FTP server at predetermined intervals, and even has a camera preview display, just awesome!)
39. WiFiFoFum 2.2.12 by Aspecto Software (View all local WiFi access points with signal strength details and GPS location settings, great tool, but does not seem to see access points which are not transmitting SSID. Can easily export log files with GPS coordinates to a file for later viewing).
40. SSH Client zaTunnel 0.9.2 for CF2 (zatelnet.com) (Use this SSH client to set up a reverse SSH session to your machine with ports forwarded for accessing services on remote machine. I don’t believe this software provides an xterm display like PocketPitty. Also does provides HTTP Proxy support, and Web basic authentication information, keyfiles, etc)
41. Loki Mobile 1.0 by SkyHook Wireless (Find your location without GPS or cellular triangulation by using Wi-Fi positioning (a very interesting concept, unique and different from GPS or cellular triangulation, this uses a large back-end server database of WiFi to physical location mappings. I find this to be super accurate in somewhat populated areas where WiFi signals exist, a crazy cool concept! When I run the program I get an error, I just select Okay, the error disappears, and the application runs perfectly fine, your WiFi must be on though. http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Travel/Loki-Mobile-38707.shtml)
42. HTC GPS Tool 1.1.1.0 – View Detailed GPS information, including raw NMEA data directly from the satellite feeds. Not useful for navigation purposes (Google Maps is for that), but great for informational GPS diagnostics or just fun GPS details
43. BasicGPS Geocaching 2.60.95 – View number of visible satellites, compass (must be moving), altitude, and GPS coordinates (no navigation)
44. Cain for PocketPC 1.3 by Massimiliano Montoro – Mobile version of Cain and Abel, crack hashes on your phone (LANMAN, NTLM, MD5, Cisco PIX, and many others)
45. Hex Editor EDh 1.3 by winm-soft.atspace.com (Mobile Hex Editor on your phone)
46. SKTools 4.1.21.4 (Optimize your device in every way, check out the spec list)
47. Task Manager 3.1 by FdcSoft (The best mobile task manager I have seen. You get PID (Process ID Number) information, the ability to Register and Unregister DLLs (Dynamic Link Libraries), view CPU usage statistics, running services, and many other things)
48. PocketDOS 1.12.2 (Regular computer (x86) emulation on your phone, install DOS 6.22 and run most DOS software as if you’re running on a 286 machine! Very cool, I’ve read about people being able to run older version of Windows (3.11 or 95) using PocketDOS, you can mount drives, adjust system usage, basically a full 286-type computer on your phone).
49. Total Commander (A great file manager)
50. PowerGuard 1.2 (View your detailed power settings on a bar graph, lots of useful geeky information).
51. Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3.0.0 by Julien Schapman (perform advanced config of your phone, a must have!)
52. RSS Reader pRSSreader by David Andrs (Read RSS feeds)
53. HTC Network Plugin for File Explorer 1.0 – Map Network Drives from your phone. After install will appear under Settings, Connections, ‘Network Plugin’.
54. HTC Wi-Fi Router – Share your cellular internet connection via WiFi (Works for me, but seems to mess up my preset WiFi access points after use, not a big issue).
55. Registry Explorer by SKTools – Registry Editor Windows Mobile.
56. RAR Pocket 3.90 by Roshal – Open Rar zip arhives on your phone.
Folks, this is the list I’ve been able to put together. A simple search of the web will allow you to download and/or purchase all of the listed programs.
PLEASE ADD YOUR FAVORITE ADVANCED PROGRAMS!
Thank you!
CE Reg Edit
Hi, Don't see CEReg Editor by mobisoft on your list.
A nice tool
That's a good addition, anyone have other additions or thoughts?
I would put PE Info (sk software) and devhealth.exe on the list.
When programs are suggested links should be provided imo.
awesome thread btw.
I use VTI Pocket Emulator for my coursework. Saves me from having to lug the old TI-83p around (except for tests of course).

Very good list indeed. Could you please provide the links ?
