Wifi usb, wifi liberator. Has any one tried it?

I found this wifi liberator program online ( http://www.coin-operated.com/projects/wifiliberator.html ) it seems like a sick program that would be very useful to me. in order for it to work you need a usb wifi stick. the program wont even open up on my computer so i dont know if thats because it needs a working usb stick, or it just doesn't like me. I went to micro center and bought a usb wifi stick by trend net( it was only 5 bucks after rebate). the program still doesn't open. osx recognizes it in system profiler under the usb section. do i need a driver, or has anyone successfully used wifi liberator. thanks alot for your help.

There may be a few problems in using this technology; one may be in
the security issues which could arise from becoming an open hub to
wireless internet (the host computer is open to two-way traffic between
all computers sharing this new allegedly free network) and thus, it may
be more open to attacks since its ports would be open.
While there well may be ways to protect a computer in that situation,
should it be a problem; other conditional and legal matters may be
worth investigating prior to using the software and doing what they
suggest. There are laws in some situations where it is illegal to
share an internet service intended to be accessed by a limited group.
Even sitting outside a public library and using your portable computer's
wi-fi may be seen as illegal theft of a service since you are not inside
and the service is intended for the library's clients who may have to
sign in and log-on. Until uniform use rules are standardized, or maybe
removed (unlikely) one has to be careful and thoughtful of them.
I've read about similar free-access technologies, and have also read
of prosecutions or fines from what was called illegal access [or theft
of service] so I could not endorse the use of any product to do this.
While in some locations it may not be specifically illegal, it could be.
It is quite another matter to set up your own paid wi-fi subscription to
share (for free) to a limited number of trusted persons, with a firewall
and other protections in place for your and their equipment and privacy;
but to consider other's paid for services as fair game is probably illegal.
But, that's just my opinion; however I arrived at it without bias and
through online and news sources. Your mileage may vary.
PS: Perhaps the application is not updated to work with the
last security updates and other feature sets in OSX? The site
says it is supposed to work with the AirPort hardware installed.
What kind of computer/model/configuration do you have?

  • Has any one tried to bluetooth pics or audio from a Blackberry Curve 8330?

    My blackberry found the Palm Pre when searching for bluetooth devices and so did the Palm Pre but the blackberry and palm connections failed!!!!! Help anyone please!!!!!!!
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    I'm new.  Same bluetooth problem. Will not pair with my 2010 VW GTI w NAV system, or my MacBook Pro 17" (just discovered the MacB prob.)
    When I initially discovered the problem I went to an Apple Store. Genius was excellent but requested that I check with VW.  VW people were very helpful. A mechanic had an iphone 4s. He came out to the car ... He could not pair my phone but he could pair his phone ... So, it's the iphone ... Back to the Apple Store ... the genius was really good. He replaced the iphone. Great !  So, back out to the car & it would not pair, still.  So ... can't be the phone , right.  Back to VW. The Audi manager had an iphone 4S. He paired his phone with my car. He could not pair my phone to my car. He tries my phone in a new 2011 GTI sitting on the lot ... my phone pairs with it just fine.  So ... it's my car.  So ... make an appointment to get the bluetooth module replaced. They replace the Bluetooth module. My iphone will not pair.  They end up pairing 2 different iphone 4S to my car ... but not my iphone 4S. My iphone 4S will also not pair with another 2010 GTI they have in for service. Though the 2 iphone 4S
    pair with the second GTI just fine.  They even try pairing my iphone with a brand new 2012 GTI in the showroom ... yep ... it paired fine.    So ... ????????????????
    They are going to update my nav software next (tomorrow), Hopeful ??? not really ... Will be taking my computer to Apple Store next ... maybe if they can discover why it will not pair to my MacBook Pro it will lead to a solution for the GTI ???  I'll get back to you.

  • Has any one wrote a bas script to find google wacks?

    im just watching dave gormans googlewach adventure and i was thinking that this would be perfect for a bash script. has any one tried doing this ?
    wordlist=/path/to/word/list
    word1=head -n $random $worklist tail -n 1
    word2=head -n $random $worklist tail -n 1
    curl http://www.google.co.uk/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&=&q=$word1+$word2 > google.cach
    if grep "Results 1 - 1" google.cache
    then goto 1
    else
    echo google wach found $word1 $word2
    fi
    so far all i have is this not proper syntax, just mental planing

    Planning to do a million google searches? I don't think they will like that.
    Anyway, you can get a random item with word1=$(sort -R "$wordlist" | head -n 1)
    And you can look at a rendered google page like this:
    curl -s -A 'Mozilla/4.0' 'http://www.google.co.uk/search?source=i … &rlz=&=&q='"$word1+$word2" | html2text -ascii -nobs -style compact -width 80
    You have to grep that for "1 out of 1 result", but I don't know what the string is, try this with an actual googlewhack:
    curl -s -A 'Mozilla/4.0' 'http://www.google.co.uk/search?source=i … ooglewhack' | html2text -ascii -nobs -style compact -width 80 | grep Results
    After you get the grep, you can use grep -q and then if .......... | grep -q ........; then echo got a result for $word1 $word2; fi
    EDIT:
    And you might as well exchange the html2text command with just: tr '=' '\n'
    EDIT2:
    If you're going to make a new post, make a new post...
    #!/bin/bash
    wordlist=/home/mark/wordlist.txt
    word1=$(sort -R "$wordlist" | head -n 1)
    word2=$(sort -R "$wordlist" | head -n 1)
    curl -s -A 'Mozilla/4.0' 'http://www.google.co.uk/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&=&q=$word1+$word2' | html2text -ascii -nobs -style compact -width 80 > google.cache
    if grep -qw "Results 1 - 1" google.cache; then
    echo google wack found
    echo $word1
    echo $word2
    else
    echo $word1
    echo $word2
    echo is not a google wack
    grep Results google.cache
    echo waiting 30 seconds and trying again
    sleep 30; /home/mark/google.wack
    fi
    so far all that happens with this is that curl searches google for $word1 and $word2 how can i get curl to use the exports?
    Thanks Markp1989

  • Since I updated my pages to 5.01, I can't open documents created on my iPad today. It says you need a new version of pages to open document.  (My computer says it is installed).  Has any one encountered this?

    Since I updated my pages to 5.01, I can't open documents created on my iPad today. It says you need a new version of pages to open document.  (My computer says it is installed).  Has any one encountered this?

    Well, here's what I found out that works for me...
    I had a Pages icon on my dock, and launching it brought up version 4.3.  But I went to my Apps folder and found the new updated icon there and when I launced that it brought up version 5.01.  So apparently the Apple update process left two versions launchable on my iMac.  Weird...

  • Has any body tried increasing the width of editable dropdownbox

    Hi,
    Has any body tried increasing the width of editable dropdownbox.
    anyway i will be attempting it soon.
    If anybody has done it please guide me.
    Thanks.

    After overriding findByKey and not calling super if the passed Key is null, I found another error; BC is trying to update the PK of type DBSequence - JBO-27008 ReadOnlyAttrException. My "fix" was to override the setAttribute method in my ViewRowImpl and ignore any attempt to update the PK.
    Everything is working now and I get my JBO-27014 mandatory error messages.
    Just a side note: If I just change my mandatory field to another value, the setAttritbute method for the field gets hit just once. If I set it to blank, it gets hit 5 times for the same field and once for the PK field. The PK value being sent is always from the first row in my editable table.

  • Has any one installed utl_dbws in 9.2.0.4

    has any one installed utl_dbws in 9.2.0.4 with jdk 1.3
    If so, how did you do it?
    I get a run time error oracle/jpub/runtime/dbws/DbwsProxy could not be resolved
    when i manually try to resolve it i track it down to a missing class
    ORA-29521: referenced name java/util/logging/Level could not be

    this class java/util/logging/Level does not apper in the javavm until 10.2 or possibly 10.1.
    I have 9.2.0.4 database and jdk 1.3.
    also I used -genmissing with the loadjava script and i still have the same problem.
    I thought -genmissing was supposed to put a place holder in for missing classes,
    but it did not.
    Thanks for any help

  • Has any one had better success in vista or windows 7

    I am almost desparing with the amounts of bug in
    Flash Builder4 with Coldfusion builder plugins in an xp environment
    has any one had better success in a vista or windows 7?

    My T510 has a similar issue where it cannot connect to certain networks after a sleep or hibernate cycle. Currently my 'workaround' is to open 'View Network Connections' under control panel, right click on the AGN adapter, and choose 'disable' then re-'enable' it. Then it will connect fine. I know this is a workaround, but it does indicate that a revised driver should be able to fix the issue.

  • 720p/25 Has any one got any idea .....

    720p/25 Has any one got any idea how to capture 720p/25 or when the fcp update is coming ???????
    I have the new JVC HD101 top camera but can't capture Not Happy with FCP as their was a lot of talk at the NAB Show in LA that the update would be out in may??

    720p25 is no officially supported format in general.
    Only 720p50 is a real standard. However there is a
    so called 2:2 pulldown where you double the frames,
    also called 25p over 50p. This only concerns a
    transparent video signal via HD-SDI. Speaking about
    the Panasonic HVX200 is another story as this is a
    file based workflow.
    Here you can find an article how to capture, edit and
    monitor 720p50 in FCP 5.1:
    http://www.aulich-adamski.de/en/perm/720p50-capturing-editing-in-final-cut-pro
    This is also helpful for JVC GY-HD users that could use
    an HDV to HD-SDI converter.
    An second article describes the Panasonic P2 workflow
    with 720p25 and 72p50 but it's currently only in german:

  • Has any one used Safari with TreasuryDirect?

    TreasuryDirect is asking for "A Web Browser That Supports 128-Bit Encryption". I cannot find any information about Safari's encryption capabilities. Has any one used Safari at TreasuryDirect?
    Thanks gameMan

    Hi,
    Safari does support 128-bit encryption, as mentioned on this page:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/safari/
    "Safari also uses strong 128-bit encryption when accessing secure sites such as your bank or an online store, so you can transmit account and payment information with confidence."
    I can't comment on TreasuryDirect however - hopefully someone else can answer that part
