Odd place to ask this, but I would say try out Tor Browser. Also try Firefox portable (assuming you can stick a flash drive in the computer), there seems to be something about it, can't explain it, my tethering isn't blocked on it, but is on IE, and at my work websense doesn't seem to be able to block me.
Oh, if you get fired for non-work related web-browsing, I claim no responsibility.

Will changing the DNS Server solve this? Or using a VPN or web proxy?

well that depends, if your admin is worth his pennies then no, it wont help at all.
setup a white list on the physical router to the outside world and your snookered.
If they have just blocked access via the DNS server and its simply unable to resolve names then you could try bring up the command prompt and ping a website via its IP address type
ping 208.67.222.222
if that works then change your DNS server to that IP address, its an OpenDNS server, very good as it happens, if it doesn't then your screwed unless they are operating a black list, but that's just stupid as you could simply find a website not black listed or make your own that uses a frame to redirect to a site of your choosing.
NB, they might have locked that ip address too so try some others, less obvious ones
the trick is finding out how they have blocked you first, then you can see if there is a way, but white lists are a real pain in the arse, they might even just run a proxy server and have cached sites on that, if they are running a proxy server you could try and delete those settings, just make sure you write all this down or your admin will likely get a bit pissed off at you...
and a final point to remember, your often blocked for a good reason and that reason is usually in your contract of employment, you connecting to sites your not supposed to will stick out like a sore thumb on the router logs as well so as ^ said, if you get fired its not our fault

I used to work at a hospital that started blocking us from alot of sites. We eventually figured out they were using Symantec to do it so everyday we would uninstall it. Some days it would last all day, others it would last 10 minutes but we could usually wait and uninstall it again to regain access. We used xp on all the computers and we were assigned to different pods almost daily so we never were caught; not that they couldn't figure it out if they tried. If they are using Symantec then you may be able to uninstall it, otherwise you may be screwed.
I am still a RN and goto school with my patient. We are blocked on laptops from certain sites but I am not blocked on my phone. I can tether my phone to my laptop and it allows me access for some reason. I'm unsure if this is an option but figured I would throw it out there.

Symantec .....XP
**shudders**
is it at all possible that even though you have your phone connected via wifi that it still has a GPRS or HSPA signal? if so then its probably bulking at the lack of access on the wifi then switches to GPRS.

Ya I agree about the xp and Symantec but with 2000+ terminals, I'm sure it was the simpliest solution.
When I'm tethering my laptop via phone at the school, we don't have cell coverage in the majority of the rooms, which is why they give us a basic internet access so I don't believe I'm pulling in my mobile data, if I'm understanding your question correctly.
I'm back there on Friday and will see what's being blocked before tethering and then see what my data is looking like afterwards. I was "assuming " they were running different security for the mobile devices, allowing the loophole, but could be wrong.

Wifi issues - most likely not the phones fault

I am having intermittent Wifi on my phone; but at work only. Everywhere works perfect without dropping the signal, but at work the signal drops once every 10 minutes and I have to toggle Wifi to get it back. It doesnt matter of I sit still or have the screen on or off, it always happens.
One thing to point out is that on my iphone I used to use WPA enterprise as security, but on this phone WPA doesn't work, only EAP security. Its the kind if network where you have to login with a username and pass.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Ok I've figured out where my wifi disconnects are coming from at work. It IS an Android issue so I'll keep posting it here. The problem is that my work needs to use a certificate from entrust.net in order for the wifi to connect and stay connected. I can connect to the network and have full internet access, but after a few minutes its as if the network checks my phone for the certificate, and when it can't find it, throws me offline. Now here's the annoying part. I went to entrust.net to look for the certificate I would need to put on my phone, and found that they offer 4 different certificates. I then looked on the phone at the bottom of settings>location & security and found, "manage trusted certificates". There was a big list of certifcates preloaded on the phone. And guess what? All 4 entrust certificates came pre-loaded on the Atrix. So the problem is not that the certificate is not on my phone, the problem is that I can not associate the certificate to my wifi profile for work.
There are even 2 options under the manage wifi connection that reference certifcates, but when I click them to try and load a certificate, it won't allow me to select anything. I'll post a screen shot of that at the end of this post. If it means anything, the iPhone 4 will auto-pull that certificate when trying to connect to my network here at work. As soon as you connect it will ask to accept the certificate. My work uses WPA Enterprise.
Screenshot: Oh yea.... I forgot, I can't find a single app that will screenshot on the Atrix. What a cool feature we are missing out on. Actually a very needed feature in my opinion.
Please help me or point me in the direction where I can find help. WPA enterprise is pretty common in the business world so someone has already come across this, I am sure.

Android does not have native support for LEAP either. I went through a similar mess as you trying to get my Atrix to connect at work. I had to download the wifi advanced app in order to get a connection.
I'm sure you're already searching "WPA Enterprise Android". It may be worthwhile to see if there's a wifi app out there that could fix your problem.
I have that app and can add extra options yes, it still doesn't allow me to deal with the certificate problem though

Faceniff anyone?

Has anyone tried faceniff on the atrix yet?
yeah it works. lol.
Such a vague post. Whats it all about? Details maaan!
theres always google
I meant on the Atrix which is the forum I am posting in
It works well on the Atrix. I have it and it does seem to work.

Does anyone know it works on WPA and WPA2? Are they forcing the client re-associate to the AP to sniff the initial key negotiation?
Works on WPA2 here. Does not work on EAP though I don't think.

Hmmm does anyone here has an unlocked version? 0.o
Works great for me *edit: on the Atrix*. I asked the dev about putting the unlocked on Market or Amazon (dont like paypal). He said it was removed from the Market and he will look into Amazon.
If he releases some code(maybe he already has, haven't looked), this could open likes of similar apps. I especially like the idea of an Atrix as a wireless monitoring device since it has 5ghz, unlike almost all other phones.
I bought it and got it unlocked. This is more for curiosity's sake than actually hacking. I live out in the country. Not much for open wifi out here.

I went to a Starbucks today after getting the app, and I couldn't get it to work there.
Not sure if it has to do with the AT&T Wifi at starbucks, but I'm going to do more testing with it.
Did you try stealth mode, I guess some routers are built to monitor that kind of intrusion and stealth mode is the work around

Faceniff has nothing to do with open vs WEP vs WPA vs WPA2 encryption on the network afaik(I haven't used it, but I read about it). It wont break encryption. My guess is that its doing a simple ARP poisoning attack, routing all network traffic through your phone before it goes out the router, then just filtering for unencrypted facebook/tsitter/etc. packets.
This has been around for years. What's new is that its been ported to a mobile phone and been made accessible to the masses.
Be careful using this guys, your network traffic leaves a trace, and I'm not sure if facesniff spoofs your mac address. You could get in big trouble if you get caught.

I understand that you already have to be connected to the AP to do this but... as I understand it with WPA and WPA2 they negotiate session keys so that each connection uses a different key. Hence you cant decrypt another persons traffic. The key is negotiated in the beginning and if you can capture that negotiation, then you can decrypt the traffic.
Does faceniff only monitor new connections and then see if they log into one of those sites? or does it actively try and disassociate people from the AP so they have to reconnect.
Was using it on my home wifi. Was able to hack into mine and my gfs facebook accounts. Then i monitored my neighbors open wifi (tard) and was able to get into his. Told him to put a password on his wifi because of security. I think this is a real eye opener into the world of internet security. Really interesting app. Pretty scary. But yea, using this at school is a bad idea. I was just doing some packet sniffing at college and i got a nasty email saying that if i was doing anything nefarious i could be expelled. So remember: USE STEALTH =)
Hey there,
could someone send me a PM where to get this app.
THX!

No poisoning needed. Wifi works the same as a hub. If you're associated to the network, you'll see all the traffic. Now there are ways to try to stop this, ap isolation, and whatnot, but it's radio, so there's really no way around it.

[Q] Help please. Splashtop is just not connecting

Hi,
I just got my transformer, and am loving it. However, desperately missing the Splashtop streaming experience that so many people are raving about. Please help.
Whenever I try connecting, it says "Connect failed"
I have already enabled Splashtop Windows client in my Windows Firewall.
Also, I created a Splashtop rule (as mentioned on their site) to allow ports 6783-6785.
Have tried to seek help on their site, and in desperation turning to experts on XDA. Please help resolve this. In addition to the above, I am running a McAfee Antivirus that is enabled by the company admin, so I cant shut that...but I suppose that should be ok. Please please help...
Before 3.1, I had no issues. After, i'm having some issues sometimes too. I have to click it 2-4 times before it connects.
Don't know what happened. Nothing changed on my pc end. Wondering if it's a TF thing.
Does it work while on the local network? If so then its a port forwarding issue in your router or youre using the wrong address. If it doesnt work locally it is an issue w your splashtop server setup or windows firewall.

If via lan (inside your nerwork) u don't need to port forwarding. All u need to use is the ip address of that machine. Are u having issues inside or outside your network? I noticed on mines, when I get connect failed I need to stop splashtop client and then start it again. Here a weird issue Im having, if there was a session of rd (windows) on my server then after that I will always get failed error with splashtop. I need to either reboot that machine or use logmein to restart the software on the computer. For me, there an issues with splashtop and windows 7 rd.
It doesn't work for me within my home network. Is there a way to try and narrow down the problem, or test it differently?

Try downloading the free version in the market: https://market.android.com/search?q=splashtop&so=1&c=apps
If it works, you may have a problem with the Asus-installed version. If it doesn't work, it could be the "server" portion

Just checked out the free verison and the highest resolution is 1024× 768 which look like crap on the Tf. Unless the paid verison has a native resolution for the TF, I going to stick with the splashtop that come with the Tf
There's a bug with splashtop I think. I can't connect to my mac mini unless the monitor is on or plugged in. Maybe you should try that.

I'm pretty sure the answer is right here:
"In addition to the above, I am running a McAfee Antivirus that is enabled by the company admin"
You might want to chat with the company admin. If it's a work computer, 99.9999% of all admins will lock down ports to their IT Assets and there's not a darn thing you can do except get them to open it (small company) or get fired for trying to hack their network (large company).
If it's a work laptop maybe it might be on your side and something you can change but the vast majority of time the IT folks are going to close down company resources to avoid folks being able to do exactly what you are trying to do.
The splashtop desktop portion said there was an update so I installed it but now it only keeps me connected for a few seconds then it drops out. It also doesn't let me interact with what I'm seeing on screen. Anyone else run across this?
I have tried about everything I can think of to get Splashtop to work form outside ny home network:
Disabled firewall in Trend AV
Allowed Ports 6783-6785 in Trend
Turned off windows FW and allowed ports (three entries)
Turned off FW for UV modem
Allowed Ports in router (Lynksys)
And even tried disabling FW in router.
Thus at some point, all FW's were off, verified ip address (starts with 99, so correct one), used ipconfig to find IP of my computer too...
Whew... Any thoughts? Logmein works like S***, so I don't think I'll go there until they update it (or is the app better?)
Thanks!

Kies Problem

When i enter in the http:// address into my browser after starting Kies on my GS2 it doesn't always work,initially i thought this to be a browser problem but ive tried it on firefox which is my default, worked once but hasn't worked since, didn't work at all on Chrome or IE, i am entering in the correct numbers too which leaves me to believe there must be a problem with it as ive tried 3 different browsers and it's only worked once on forefox.
I'm running Cognition 1.13 and everything else appears to be running smoothly.
No one has the same problem?
Are you putting the :8080 after the ip address? Also. There may be firewall issues with your pc so ypu might want to check that too

yeah i am, actually you may have a point about the firewall thing in the one time it worked it wasn't with my home connection i was in someones else's house.
I'll look into it and report back.
This is still not working and im damned if i know what the problem is.
I've turned off the firewall on my laptop and tried on 3 different broswers but it just times out,on firefox it just says...
The connection has timed out
The server at ............. is taking too long to respond.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

[Q] Want to connect to my job wireless network

Hi Everyone,
I have been facing a problem and hope anyone can help.
I have got a LG G2 which is no root. I also got a tablet but it is not possible to use it at my work.
I was given a laptop with windows XP and connect to the wifi password of our office.
In this case, they don't tell me the password. Before I was given the laptop, the settings are all pre-configured. Luckily, I can use the administrator rights.
So I use some softwares to receive the code. For Win XP, at most I can get is the 64 HEX digits.
My LG G2 cannot connect to wifi using that.
Can you please tell me how I can connect to that wifi?
Is there any app in android to connect to wifi using 64 HEX digits?
Any other ways?
I will be looking forward to your replies.
Thanks and best regards.
Let's assume for just a moment that they don't use MAC filtering, assigned DHCP, client certificates and a CA, security groups for computer accounts, and/or the hundred other things they are probably doing to keep the network secure. You would need to sniff and decrypt the communications to/from the access point and pull the key.
Getting caught would probably mean you would get fired (best case scenario) and could possibly face charges for tampering with their systems.
Enjoy jail.
