excess secured wi-fi newtwork

Hi all,
First i m sorry if i iasked silly question . i m using wm5.0 wi-fi enabled imate pdal, yesterday nite i found sum secured wi-fi network in my premises , so tried to connect it but not got.. that was asked sum password. So can ne body tell me how to xcess that secured wi-fi network without ne password .... Waiting 4 ur fastest reply.... Thanks in advance ..

As far as I know, you can't. It's a secure network and without the key you can't log onto it.

I don't know about where you live, but here in the US, we register our Wi-Fi passwords with the local police department, so that when someone would like to use them, they can call the police to get the password. Try calling the police and tell them you are trying to log on to a secure network, tell them your name and your phone number and they will provide you with a password.

Hi badbert
U must b joking bcoz. may b u dont know , how 2 do that . But wait 4 sumtime , i will tell u only how to do it .... TAke care

you can get a software that "sniffs" out the pw's in the wifi..Its called Handisniffer or something like that. When you turn the app on, what it basically does is, collect packets (info sent between the user and the network) and you can analyze these packets. In order to be on the network, the user is constantly sending packets containing the network password in it. You just need to understand the concept and use it.
As far as I know, it isn't freeware and should cost somewhere between 15-30 dollars

i suggest you start with basics before tryin' to "hack" without even having a clue about networks or W-Lan at all.

OHH trust me I do know how to do it.... but to give out info like this on this forum could get you banned... and I like this place!
This is also why I setup routers with mac address access level. Unless you can hack through and obtain a MAC address from the hardware, and then clone it without taking a server offline, (immediate notification and automatic programmed reaction) no password in the world will get you in....

bypass wifi security

hi
I live in the netherlands and everywhere i go there is at least one wifi spot but the problem is that almost all of them are secured so that outsiders cant use it.is there a way to bypass that security?
thanks in advance

theres a reason why it has security on it mate, you shouldnt attempt to access a network which you have no right to access, its illegal in nearly all countries to hack into someone elses network.
but for eductional purposes all i can tell you is that it can be done by capturing iv packets and then sniffing out the network key. it can be a long process unless you use data injection, and it depends on what type of security protocol the network is running, some take around 5minutes to hack and others could take longer depending on whether a brute force attack is required.
Remember do not try and hack into someone elses network, it is illegal
and if anyones thinking how i know this, its because i have run tests on my own network to check the integrity and strengh of my security.
i use wpa with a network key composed of random letters and numbers, which means a brute force dictionary attack would be useless, so i am very safe.
Do not hack, or ask any one how to hack someone elses network on this forum mate, you might get banned.

The title of the area 'Development & Hacking' relates to the semi-legal work on the devices in question, not to totally illegal full-on network hacking/intrusion - you won't get any help here... and i'll probably get flamed for even answering you...

its kinda funny that he posted this under "Development & Hacking", i bet you hes never heard of this site before and must have been searching using the keyword "hacking" and ended up on this site.
any ways, there is a way you can bypass the security, go ask the person who owns the network, if they can let you use their internet lol

I have always wished there was a way to just send a message to the network owner, just so I could ask nicely.
Plus you have people like me who would shae there network, if it was easily separated into a secure / unsecure segment. I've thought of buying a third router in order to do this....But my generosity would be in doing it free and easy, not in spending more money and effort

Reminds me of an XKCD...

Made me giggle anyway....

Tmobile claims no tethering? Mine works, with questions.

I had the orig Dash, and have had the 3g for several months now. To explain my issue and pose questions I must give brief history...
With my original Dash I could, as tmobile advertised use it tethered. Everthing worked fine except for my company Cisco VPN client. The utility would connect but no web pages would work. Upon calling support I worked with a guy who "fixed it" and 6 hours later it all worked. Something about how the Cisco VPN could detect dynamic IP's and he needed to provision a static one.
Fast forward and I got the 3G version. Tethering worked fine (even though not listed as a function) but the same VPN issue occured. I made several LONG calls to tmobile (their support was clueless) unitl I got them to give me to the same dept I had spoke with before, the modem team in Seattle. The tech informed me and read direct from tmo documents that tethering did not work, was not supported period. When I explained that it worked fine, they said maybe for a while but not for long. In asking what the prev tech had done to get my last phone to work with VPN, there were no notes and the tech said that it must have been a non-tmobile supported hack.....
Consequently when I swap in my sim to the old phone I can hit the VPN just fine.
A few hours later I get text messages from tmobile with the following message:
<sispWJ9fQmdGCQ3FF4N:1:1>https://snapinprod.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/;764;15033171774;IcKxmDmVuMy6OuNNip8DSb8hwhHX/6lR
I opened it on a computer and nothing comes up. I have a feeling that this might disable my tethering ability?
Here are my questions:
1. How will Tmobile disable this function? Can they push out code? Hide in an update? Is their a reversal for this?
2. Any ideas on what they did or what I can do to allow me to use my VPN?

HTC EVO 4G works in China(Shanghai Guide + Help)

I posted a few weeks ago about if or not the EVO 4G would work in China since CDMA has migrated over to UIM cards since 2002 and as well all know the EVO does not have a UIM card.
First of all the company that will provide service is China Telecom, unfortunately they do not offer the service, they dont even acknowledge it even being possible and most workers that you talk to have no idea what your talking about.
I brought this phone back from the USA on August 2nd and started my quest to figure out how to activate it. I must say it took a long time to find someone who would even try to ask around to see if the phone could be activated, even being at the infamous black cellphone market in Shanghai(Near the Tian Mu Lu Train station). I was rejected many times even after they spent an hour or so asking around for me. I gave up that day but finally found someone on the internet selling the HTC EVO 4G with a valid Chinese ESN to link to a phone number. (Tian Mu Lu 188 Floor 6 #54)
Now the phone number you have to get yourself under contract from China Telecom, now for this you need a local ID or to be a landowner and avid Chinese speaker like me. This requires a 128K CDMA number 133/153/189 although China Telecom told me that only 189 exists at this time. The contracts are unbinding or atleast they where for me and I paid 139RMB for 2GB and 200 minutes.
You then take this number to them and they link it to your phone, through their internal China Telecom connection's.
This service all in all costs you about 2 hours of time on average and 400rmb.
Honestly since China Telecom doesnt provide this service or even say they can do it, I think it was a bargain and a miracle that you could backdoor this service.
Anyways if anyone has any problems or issues in Shanghai or in China I can help you just contact me through these forums, email([email protected]) or (+86)18964688482.
I also found people that do this service in Shenzhen but not sure where else.

Next time I'm in China and want to illegally obtain phone service, I know who to go to...

i won't have a use for this anytime soon (unfortunately), but epic win sir. well done!

Well I have noticed some people posting on the web about this issue but figure this is the place to bring them as I have found so much help over the years in so many different forms.
Hope google search leads them here.
The funny thing is, its not illegal as it is done through China Telecom just not offered as a service on any of their websites or walk in phone/internet boutiques or offices. The words my new friend used where "They where not willing to offer the service to the public".
I encountered this same issue with the Chinese kind of VPN service called Guo Ji Jing Ping Wang, which is basically a rerouting of internet traffic through less congested nodes so that you dont have packet loss and have better bandwidth with your area of choice(for example 160-200 pings for the west coast US with 0 packetloss and 240-260 for East Coast also with 0 packetloss). This existed about 5-6 years ago but was not offered to the public till 2008 or so. If I had not walked in and talked to the manager of the office and forced them to offer me something so I could receive large emails properly or game or stream videos etc.
Guess its kinda like the Great Firewall of China which is basically wide but not high especially using modern technology or even not so modern technology like a ladder(lol), since you can easily navigate around it with a proxy or vpn and no one cares here.
Anyways if anyone needs help in China for anything I can help. (15 year veteran)

I was also looking at this company and thinking of doing business with them until I found your posting and I did some research and they go under the company name Newtang (Shanghai) Trading Company. Have you ever received your shipment?

no, nothing yet.
I paid on July 30 and it's well Aug 19.
In fact, one of the products I was inquiring about is Korean made and the manufacturer told me it's not going to be on the market at earliest late Holiday season and this company is claiming to sell it already (and I fell for it). DOH!
I will def holler if I ever do get this. I have the crew digging around more though - here in the US and China.
SOMETHING apparently did ship but I know for a fact it has not left China according to the shoddy shipping method. I mean it could be a brick for all I know or just a shipping label. I do not put anything past the whole lot of em over there now. I just do not see any possible way China can be a true economic power with rampant knock offs and fraud.
(sorry for hijacking your thread btw)
I mean maybe in some ridiculous way they did send something but it's not the shipping method I agreed to nor paid for and I refuse to take a fall for this so I'm trying to be pro-active.
Now of course if I do get what I ordered and it really did just LAG I will eat my words give them nothing but praise and for being nothing more than lame in admin as far as shipping method. But for now with all the stuff I've read about them and other companies in general - i am more than skeptical

HTC EVO 4G in Guangzhou
Today I had my struggle in China/ Guangzhou to get my newly delivered Htc Evo 4g working. Initially I thought i could get my card from China mobile ported to a 3G number and use it, but in 4+ shops they didnt want to help me or were not able to. They didnt even bother to ask around or something. And its not the language, since my chinese is actually pretty much ok and they understood what i wanted.
Anyways. Many thanks to " Inti " for the tip trying it with China Telecom! The whole procedure took me only 20 minutes. I opened a new 3g card, put it in my phone and it work. Not even a need for them to enter a ESN / Muid or anything to their system. The best! It didnt cost me a penny or yuan!
The basic choices i had were between to schemes. One 49RMB per month and another one with 98RMB/month. Meaning 100/200 free minutes of talking and 250MB/500MB of traffic. The money can be charged by normal charging cards from the street, even be wired to their account or they can take it from yours. You can pay locally in the shop too of course.
If you would want to use your card outside China, which happens to me already when im going to HongKong you would have to put a deposit of 1400RMB one time. Now your 3G will work all over the world until these 1400RMB are used up.
To me its a pretty good deal and i hope it will help someone like i got help many times from this forum.

As a bit of a followup..
I got mine in Tianjin and paid rmb3500 for phone then it cost the 400 for them to register it to the network the number you brought to the phone..
I use a company account and so its not illegal to do..also I get access to my own account via the web and pay the bill..
if you do a search on Taobao you will find its the norm now.. plenty of people doing it..

as to plans.. I am using the Rmb125 per month with 3gig then I pay another rmb100 for another 3 gig.. so basically until I settle down with my usage I beefed it up.. but it is still on approx$40 per month for a whole lot of usage..
I have used it in Shanghai, Tianjin, Shangdong, and last week up in Changchan with good coverage.. plugging it in to the laptop and using it for good fast internet..
So I hope this helps if someone is thinking of getting one..
I also picked up the extended battery and are so far happy with output on it..
its at 46% after 16 hours of being on.. and I have used it for about 4 hours of wireless tonight.. so got to be happy with that..

MMS in China
Dear good people.
Having my evo on china telecom now for a day and so happy. Here just a few hints that i could have used and also one problem still persists with my mobile.
Of the first sms's i sent out i had only a few going through and some ending up with error codes. After a while i found out that the numbers have to be without any non-numeric symbols. for example number with +8613xxxxxxxxx wont work because of the Plus-sign. It has to be 008613xxxxxxxx or without the country code 13xxxxxxxxx. Also numbers with the "-" inside wont work like xxxx-xxxx-xx-xx.
Then i recieved an MMS but couldnt download it. And I also cant send any. That is unfortunately not depending on the number scheme, I tried everything.
Anyone has the same problem out there in China? My phone is using the standard root spring rom 2.2 .
Would be cool if anyone with working MMS could type in ##3282# ,go to "view-mode" and post all the settings you got.
cheers in advance and help needed...

Even if you had the settings from sprint, you'd still need to adjust them to the carrier ib China to make MMS work over there...

mms in china with china telecom
That is why im asking if someone has MMS working in China with Evo and China Telecom? If so if that person could please post the settings.
The settings from Sprint I have myself which obviously dont work unfortunately.
It's not that im using MMS frequently but it kind of annoys me that it doesnt work up to now. All the rest is working fine with my evo and I love to use it.
The standard settings for GSM/CDMA from China telecom are the following, also confirmed by the hotline, but I actually think they didnt quiet get me when i told them i have a CDMA phone 'only'.
MMS Server URL: mmsc.vnet.mobi
HTTP Server : 10.0.0.200:80
I put in those things in through ##3282# and edit mode. Tried leaving the RTSP Server blank/on zero and other combinations. Couldnt get anything to work. Always get network failure or some other warnings for sending and downloading MMS.
My hope is that someone is out there with Evo + China Telecom + working MMS and if that someone could post the settings?

Sunny,
Mine is set as follows..
MMSC -http://mmsc.vnet.mobi
MMS: proxy : 10.0.0.200
MMS port: 80
MMS protocol: wap 2.0
hope this helps..

Thanks a lot for the help, I appreciate, but where can you set the mms protocol on your evo? I don't have anything like that. Are you using the standard sprint rom like me in version 2.2 ? The settings you posted I found on the net as well but somehow it seems more for gsm phones.
On my evo I have no chance to get to mms settings but typing in ##3282# and then to go to view/edit mode.

sunny,
I am not going to be much help.. as just tested it..
can send a pic via email.. but not via mms.. as it is failing..
as to the settings.. I can see them from within the htc message program..
just go into the settings and you will see them all.. in mine they are greyed out..
so... i dont know if you can change them anyway..
I dont use the phone for mms anyway.. so not too much of a worry for me..
good luck with it..

Have you tried changing the app MMS.apk to the incredible one and adding an APN? You can set many things there.. Hope this helps. (Use VOICE DIALER and say "OPEN APNS" to open the APN list)

Evo in China
@ dgcruzing: Thanks for trying anyway!
@ m4f1050: Thanks as well. That seems to be a step in the right direction. At least i can get now to the APN settings on my evo.
For the moment Im trying different combinations of Mms.apk and APN settings. All dont work so far but will keep trying and keep everyone posted here.
cheers

Good luck and keep us updated!

Sunny
Yes..keep us posted as if you crack it I will try your system to try to get mine going..

Re: update your Rom & force Close of com.google.process.gapps
"force Close of com.google.process.gapps"
Had same problems.. started last night when I tried to use my VPN on the phone to sign in to Market.. once signed in.. google accounts asked me to sign in again..(verify account) big mistake.. as it seems that it has registered me twice on the phone somehow..
anyway.. the FC on sync came thick and fast.. was out last night.. so couldn't actually take the time to check what was going on..
today did some research..

so the question is.. if i do a hard reset.. will I lose the actually settings that make it hook in to the phone network?
and I suppose from this we get.. how do I pull all of these settings out of the phone to reuse them again after the reset?
Edit:
As a followup.. and to answer my own questions.. no loss of actual communication on a full install of a new Rom..
after searching the net for the last few days for a fix.. its seems to be a Android bug.. no amount of wipes and resets put me back on track..
So in the end I went for a fresh Rom...

Happy to say.. all fixed and now looking good again..
main points out of this is..
1: as those of us in China that have brought a Evo and had it worked on here to hook in to the CDMA network.. and are rooted.. I can report.. you can upgrade your Rom..
2: upgrading the Rom will allow you to shift a lot of Programs off the Phone to SDcard.. with Apps2SD which most 2.2 Roms have as norm..
3: you get a new look and feel to the phone..
I did as the instructions said and installed the Rom and new Radio's and all working well..
