how to Use your mobile phone as a wireless modem
Did you know you can use a mobile telephone as a wireless modem? If your phone and computer can connect over IrDA or Bluetooth, you're well on your way.
You can connect your Macintosh to the Internet using a GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) mobile telephone as a modem. To do so, you should first make sure that you can:- Connect to the Internet over GPRS using the WAP browser in your telephone
- Connect your Macintosh to your mobile phone over IrDA or Bluetooth.
Once you can do these two things, you can set up your computer to use the telephone as a wireless modem to connect to the Internet.
Important: GPRS data services and Internet access are typically optional offerings. Ask your mobile phone operator about GPRS availability in your area, and what the subscription fees and service charges are.
Using your mobile phone as a wireless modem
Once you have made the appropriate network settings on your Mac, you can use your mobile phone as a wireless modem.
- Ask your mobile phone operator for the network settings necessary to use your GPRS mobile phone as a modem. In some cases, you'll use the same network settings that your phone uses. In others, you may need to get network settings specific for computers. Typically, these settings include:
- GPRS dial-up number
- User ID
- Password
- IP Address
- DNS Address
- other advanced settings such as authentication, data compression, header compression, and quality of service
- From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
- From the View menu, choose Network.
- Choose New Location from the Location pop-up menu.
- Type a name for the new location such as "Wireless Modem".
- Choose "Network Port Configurations" from the Show pop-up menu.
- Make sure the "USB Bluetooth Modem Adapter" is enabled. Deselect the ports or interfaces you aren't using in this location, such as "Built-in Ethernet", and "Internal Modem".
- Click Apply Now.
- Choose "USB Bluetooth Modem Adapter" from the Show pop-up menu.
- Click the TCP/IP tab, if necessary. Choose "Using PPP" from the configure pop-up menu, and enter the DNS numbers and search domains as provided by your mobile phone operator.
- Click the PPP tab, and enter the account name, password, and telephone number as provided by your mobile phone operator.
- Click PPP Options. A sheet appears. Click "Use TCP header compression" to disable this option, and click OK. Your operator may be able to tell you if you can leave this option turned on or not.
- Click the Bluetooth Modem tab, and choose a mobile phone model that closely resembles yours from the Modem pop-up menu. In some cases, your mobile phone operator may provide a specific modem script for you to use.
- Click Apply Now.
- From the View menu, choose Bluetooth.
- Click the Settings tab, and select "Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar" to enable that option, if necessary.
- Make your mobile phone "discoverable" to other Bluetooth devices, or turn on Bluetooth communication. See the documentation that came with your phone for instructions.
- Choose "Search for phones" from the Bluetooth menu bar item, and select your phone, which you have already paired.
- Once your phone and Mac are connected, open the Internet Connect application.
- Click connect. Your telephone should connect to your mobile phone operator, and in 10 to 20 seconds, you should be able to use the Internet.
how to Use your mobile phone as a metal detector
Apparently, this Android-based metal detector application really does work! According to readers of Android Guys, it likely uses the G1 handset's built-in compass...or it could be that metal has an effect on the electromagnetic fields around the device and thus causes detectable fluctuations in the signal strength of its GSM radio.

Nokia 1100 Online Banking Hack
An old candy-bar style Nokia 1100 mobile phone has been used to break into someone's online bank account, affirming why criminals are willing to paying thousands of euros for the device.
Using special software written by hackers, certain models of the 1100 can be reprogrammed to use someone else's phone number and receive their SMS (Short Message Service) messages, said Max Becker, CTO of Ultrascan Knowledge Process Outsourcing, a subsidiary of fraud investigation firm Ultrascan.
The Nokia 1100 hack is powerful since it undermines a key technology relied on by banks to secure transactions done over the Internet.
Banks in countries such as Germany and Holland send a one-time password called an mTAN (mobile Transaction Authentication Number) to a person's phone in order to allow, for example, the transfer of money to another account.
Since the Nokia 1100 can be reprogrammed to respond to someone else's number, it means cybercriminals can also obtain the mTAN by SMS. Cybercriminals must already have a person's login and password for a banking site, but that's easy since millions of computers worldwide contain malicious software that can record keystrokes.
Ultrascan obtained Nokia 1100 phones made in Bochum, Germany. Phones made around 2003 in that now-closed factory have the firmware version that can be hacked, Becker said. Nokia has sold more than 200 million of the 1100 and its successors, although it's unknown how many devices have the particular sought-after firmware.
Ultrascan was able to successfully reprogram an 1100 and intercept an mTAN, but just one time. Becker said they are undertaking further tests to see if the attack can be executed repeatedly.
"We've done it once," Becker said. "It looks like we know how to do it."
Ultrascan experts obtained the hacker software to reprogram the phone through its network of informants, said Frank Engelsman, a fraud and security specialist with the company.
That application allows a hacker to decrypt the Nokia 1100's firmware, Becker said. Then, the firmware can be modified and information such as the IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number can be changed as well as the IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) number, which allows a phone to register itself with an operator.
The modified firmware is then uploaded to the Nokia 1100. Certain models of the 1100 used erasable ROM, which allows data to be read and written to the chip, Becker said. For the final step, the hacker must also clone a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card, which Becker said is technically trivial.
Nokia, which was closed on Thursday due to a holiday, could not be contacted. However, the company has said it does not believe there is a vulnerability in the 1100's software.
Becker said that may be semantically true, however, it's possible that the encryption keys used to encrypt the firmware have somehow slipped into the public domain. "We would really like to speak with Nokia," Becker said.
Ultrascan was also able to confirm that criminals are willing to pay a lot of money for the right Nokia 1100. An Ultrascan informant sold one of the devices recently in Tangiers, Morocco, for €5,500 (US$7,567), Engelsman said. Ultrascan previously confirmed data earlier this year that one Nokia 1100 sold for €25,000.
