So i've been with android since its beggings since about 2.0 on my HTC Hero GSM and switched over various OS's and never had an issue with file transfers.
Here comes the new Galaxy S3 and all the new 4.0 + devices that now use MTP which works perfectly well on windows, but we all know its a pain in the behind for both Linux distro, and Macintosh 10.5- and 10.7+
After trying Various apps that enable UMS i came around Easy UMS which was a possible fix, exept it didnt work on my wonderful AOSP roms nor the custom ones i flashed either, there we go frustrated again.
Tried AOSP ums mounters, tried mounting over a terminal emulator and neither of them worked quite well. so i decided to go ahead and turn on a VMware windows 7 virtual machine which then allowed me to connect my SIII and gave me access to both external and internal 16GB cards, with a wonderfull speed where i was able to transfer the last leaked software which was around 700mb in less than 20 seconds.
Now this is not a fix, its an alternative. i found funny how easy it was in windows compared to either mac or linux and if you dont have access to a windows computer. VM is the easiest way out and is not something everyone thinks about everyday. it might not be a fix for the guys who dont exploit their computers to what they are capable off but those of us who are a bit geeky can get access to this speed without installing Bootcamp.
If any of you mac users would like to know how to install a VM on your mac to get access to this useful feature as well as some other benefits dont mind leaving me a PM or just ask for help and i will assist you
Dont forget to click on the thanks button if this thread was of eny help to you.
Best regards.

Hello guys,
I want to see how secure my wireless network is for someone who is using a PPC, so I have been searching for any software that will allow me to crack my encryption but so far I have not managed to find anything. I have found a few software that crack encryptions both on Windows and Linux, but none on Windows Mobile.
Any of you know any software?
Thank you.

What a bizarre request If you've got a wireless network, set the router encryption to the strongest setting your PC's/PPC's will support and use the cracking tools on a Windows PC to test it. If you've got security and MAC filtering on the router, you're doing about the best you can anyway.
Trying to crack wireless security on a PPC is gonna be slow as - the Hermes only has a 400MHz processor, so it'll probably take four or five times (or more) longer to crack the security as it would if you did it on a desktop PC. The only software I know of that might work is MiniStumbler - kinda like the baby brother of NetStumbler, from http://www.netstumbler.org
My advice is this , give it up as a bad job, or make sure your PPC is permanently on charge coz the battery life will be crap with the WiFi on and packet capture/cracking tools running
Cheers,
Mark.
Great Mark I will try and see what happens with the software you told me as soon as I get a chance. Thank you.
Anyone else who knows a different way.. is welcome to say
Download the backtrack ISO LiveCD and run it on a laptop or PC which has a supported wireless device. That LiveCD comes with a suite of wifi cracking apps which you can use to penetration test your wireless network if you thusly desire.
Doesn't work with many Acer laptops though due to something stupid with the Acer motherboard design (and guess what laptop I have! haha)
I've actually been looking for such a solution on Windows Mobile based devices for quite a while, but unfortunately have not been successful.
Does anyone know of some solutions for this?
What i plan on doing:
-Being able to log packets (By saving them)
-Decrypting these packets (On the PDA or For a PC To decrypt)
Please and thank you.
i looked for quite a while on doing this. There was one program that would do it, but it didn't like the wireless nic.
I'm not into the programming or fabricating of things for PPC's but someone should look into BackTrack 2.0 (linux distro).
It's got a bunch of built-in packet sniffing and decrypting software. Takes a while (because you need to capture SOOOO many packets) but it works wonders. I had all my neighbors WEP keys within a weekend.
erm.. if it took you a weekend to break wep.. you weren't doing it right. With the tools on backtrack and a windows machine I can crack wep in 10-15 minutes.
In any event, I haven't found a tool for the PPC that can do either step of the cracking process (other than just flipping the switch on and off a lot to keep the router pulsing those oh so easy to crack auth packets). Sorry man. Also, chances are, to do either step would very quickly run the battery on these devices into the dirt.

Yeah it only took about 20-30 minutes for each network but I DO have a life... And there were 5 or 6 of them.

Pocket Wifi Retina doesn't seem to work with our wireless chipset. When trying to run it I get: "Can not load device driver. If the wireless configuration utility is running, please shut it down."
Someone knows another app like retinawireless with dicctionary file for bruteforcing that runs on the athena?
I found a nice thread on this that might come in handy:
http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/wireless/networks/archives/wifi-tools-for-your-pda-15387
so far the best bet seems to be useing http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=1&platformId=1&productId=66742#description7
(torrent it) to get the hashes.
I'm buliding a little something with my port.HD to interface it with my pda via bluetooth anyways, and now running tables on it seems fun...
any new apps since 2008?

Has anyone figured out how to get USB tethering working under OSX's Network Settings?
The driver included on the phone, for USB tethering, is a Windows Executable.
I thought I had an idea of how to setup the USB modem (looks right to me), but the connection simply times out and returns a generic error.
Any ideas?
Put the phone on charge only then use hotspot that way it will charge while tethering lol
:/
Anyone else?
hi,
i don't know whether or not this can be seen as a efficient way. but in my opinion it is a clean way to make those two work together. i am not sure of the other main ways of accomplishing this, but as i recall the wifi-hotspot will heat up your device and i'd think that'll damage your battery at some point. and i'm not really comfortable with installing a 3rd party app on the phone and osx to accomplish this. to get to the point:
i use virtualbox to let a VM (which is running a system which can make use of the ndis-device of course..) build a bridge so that osx can make use of the gateway which is provided by the standard-android tethering implementation. so both VM and osx have a full-blown internet connection.
i use this method for quite some time. i know it is a bloody simple concept, but it is a alternative to the wifi-hotspot..
I don't know what would be the reason to bump 1/2 year old thread, but I'll chime in with new data for future searches:
1) WiFi tethering doesn't heat up the phone to a point that wouldn't be reached by just playing a game, for example.
2) Pure Sense 2.1 and Sense 3.0 ROMs have a switch for USB tethering, allowing to choose Windows tether (RNDIS) or Mac OS X tether (something that I didn't test).
i was wondering if there's a more efficient way in the meantime, because unfortunately virtualbox seems to be plagued by a great deal of regression regarding the USB2.0 and network interface support in between their releases.
so you are saying that there actually is a OSX compatible implementation in the new releases? i have pounded google a great deal on this matter but did not discover anything satisfying.
Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. All Sense 2.1 / 3.0 ROMs seem to have that option.
I want to set up my Windows 7 system as an access point (ad hoc, I suppose) so that I can connect my tablet via wifi and use the Window system's network access.
I used the ad hoc network wizard, but the tablet could not see it, and could not be force it to hook up.
Has anyone been successful at this?

i dun know but i hope u will have the way to do this
I was just working on this the other night, so I'll answer your question and pose a second.
Go grab the 'Connectify' program. That'll make the setup a snap.
Here's the problem, though.... Hoping some of the keen XDA minds might be able to help. The 'SoftAP' that windows 7 has built in will ONLY set itself up with WPA2 security. This makes it teasingly close to allowing Nintendo DS and PSP connections since it's setting itself up as an Infrastructure Access point, but only with security too strong for those platforms.
Does anyone here have an Idea of how to force/hack Win7 to use a lower form of security like WPA or WEP?
Would love to get an answer to above users question

Once i was blind, now i can see !
Thank you for this, i had problems with 3g at my work, now i have wifi!
After some additional research, I found out that this WPA2 'lock' is actually a part of the Win7 certification for a given WiFi device.
This would seem to indicate that it would be either part of the driver or hard-coded into the device itself.
A driver seems like it could be something that'd be edited to be more pliable with regards to Wifi protection, but if it's hard-coded, we're likely screwed.
Any info pertaining to using Windows XP Pro with any of this. I run on Revol Wireless with my Hero200,I flashed the phone to their network so I dont have full network access. Anyways...I'm trying to reverse tether at home to use the net on my phone where my network is connected through my desktop pc. I'm running a Dell Dimension 4600 with XP Pro strictly as my DEV computer. This comp only gets Android crap on it all the time. A few windows things here and there but I need the windows programs for the android stuff so...Any help is VERY greatly appreciated guys!

dude...you will have stability problems and protocols relevent issues on using connectify
some times u'll get blue screen errors too.
So,after googling a lot i hav found "mhotspot" we dont even need to install the software,but it creates a virtual access point and enables wifiinternet sharing
working great..
try it here....www. mhotspot .com
Hello,
I've done quite a bit of searching and not found an answer to anything. I'm tech savvy, but don't know much when it comes to Linux.
I have an N7 Grouper, currently running a version of Timur's USB Rom on 4.2.2, but I don't know if I'm sticking with it or not (I'm open to changing, if there's a better option for a carputer setup--Autodroid, maybe?).
I have an iPhone that my company is paying for tethering on. I have successfully connected to my iPhone's wifi, but I have to go in and open the tethering screen, then turn on and connect my wifi from my N7 to it. Its really annoying to have to do that, and turn it on/off every time. I found that there is a way to tether an iPhone to Linux, and I'm under the impression that anything that can be done on a Linux machine can be adapted to Android.
So the real question is, will the Linux instructions (www dot howtogeek dot com/68999/how-to-tether-your-iphone-to-your-linux-pc/) work? If so, how is it adapted, and can someone walk me through it?
Thanks!
Eric
