Is there an app that could work on our X2 like aircrack or something? A friend said he was able to get aircrack working on his ATRIX.

What does aircrack do?
He was probably using the Webtop application while running Ubuntu. I have not run across any WEP cracking apps, but there are sniffers available. If you want a packet sniffing application, try Packet Sniffer. It can sniff Wifi and Bluetooth packets.
Do a search in market for penetration. Not sure if its what your looking for but it may be similar.
By the way..related to above post ...anyone make any headway with webtop porting or anything?
Would be awesome to have that cooked into a rom
I haven't tried yet but I'm sure someone else has, wouldnt terminal do that? It would be awesome if somehow we could get backtrack working also, or something like that.

You are looking for an app that can get you access to locked WiFi networks? FYI, this is illegal, and therefor not allowed on XDA. No one is going to help you that might otherwise.

its only illegal if you do it without the other persons permission. If you are doing this to exploit a security hole in order to improve network security, its fine. its all in the way you use it.

It would be really cool if someone would give this a shot.
And what do you think he plans to use it for? lol, let's be realistic now, hence why there are not abundant amounts of these apps in the market. The ones that are in there specifically say they should only be used to audit. If you can't find it in the market, chances are our phone isn't supported, or it was removed by Google.

Are you really that naive to think that there is no real use for something like this? Yes a computer could do this really easily but what if you don't have access to a comp or just simply want to use your phone to test your home network security. If you think your home network is being hacked this could be a good way to find out how secure it really is.

This guy has a tutorial on how to install Backtrack 5 onto Android.
Thx for the advice!
I actually am trying to get into my own network, just wanted to see how easily it could be done. The friend did say he was using webtop. He got into a 7-11 network. Took it 3 days to crack it and he overclocked it and left the phone on ice. He said it was burning up with 90% of the CPU dedicated to aircrack.
We're having a battle of the phones
He's got me at overclocking, webtop, and I want to get some redemption for my phone

You can put a full distro of linux on your phone. This would allow you to run aircrack, airsnort, kismet, etc. on your device. Depending on how competent you are, you could compile your own distro with the application packages you wanted (like BackTrack).

There is an application, but 99% of users are not looking for that application. I can get into almost anyones home network because noone ever changes the Router Admin settings, all you have to do is type the IP 192.168.1.1 for linksys for example, username: admin, password: admin , BAM you have full control. The typical user either uses the setup disc or no security at all. And, if you forget your own password, all you have to do is hard reset the router, then reset up. I use MAC address filtering as well as WPA2/WPA Mixed Mode with a passphrase that I don't even myself know. Short of someone coming into my house, into my bedroom, into my closet and pushing the button, and knowing how to log into my router to plug in their mac address, or reset my router completely, you probably are not going to get on it. Even if you cracked the WPA you would still be blocked via MAC Address filter lol.

As much as I am on XDA, it is only from my desktop, that I posted a picture of in another thread. The only reason I even have WiFi in my house is because I rent 2 rooms out in my house to pay my mortgage for me If my tenants didn't use it, I would turn it off.

i had the same problem. What worked for me was that I backed up skype + data in my galaxy tab using titanium backup and restored the backup in my tp2 android build. I could login then.
thanks for the tip! i will try with my G2 backup then..
update: i need to root my G2 for titanium which i wont cuz i dont really need it
could you share those files so i can try?
Well my backup contains my skype account details so that's of no use to you.

We can't expect every single 3rd party app to run on our devices...
I'd like to know why a backup of the app works while installing it fresh doesn't... if there is a workaround, that's always better than simply "not working".
Perhaps someone has a skype apk? I've never used skype, sorry.

There's a bug with WEP, no RHOD can connect to WEP without some fixing.
If you have a choice, GET RID OF WEP IMMEDIATELY!
It's extremely insecure, and should be avoided at all costs!
However, there is fixes. Read the FAQ.

You can't "legally" steal anything. See how that works?
Looking through the menus on the ##778 on the rezound I noticed what was used on the incredible to "hack" into the hotspot capabilities of it. Can we use this for the rezound? as follows..
1. dial ##778 call.
2. edit view - enter password 000000
3. go to security sub menu
and here is where I'm a bit unsure and want to get some insight before trying it out....
4. S.IP DUNN User name
on the incredible for this step you enter [email protected]
on the LTE phones it should be (as it's duplicated above as your ppp user id
[email protected] OR would we stull use [email protected] and have access to this on 3G only?
Would this get us the bypass we need, or is this verification handled onboard with the SIM card?

It was a promotional thing, but seems to have stuck to some accounts. One of my accounts still has it, not sure why. I pay for the unlimited hotspot as I am an employee, and I am not much for stealing, but not the line I am speaking of. Not sure what the rhyme or reason is, probably would remove it when changing devices so if you stick with devices that use regular 4G sim cards and not micro sims I would bet it will stick around until its audited off.
that's interesting that the promotion stuck to some accounts . I don't really think of it like stealing I suppose except in the sense that I'm taking advantage of an app Verizon included to be paid for *shrug*. Since I use an app like PDAnet or something else anyways it's not THAT big of a deal. It's just a lot easier to turn on tether and sit down at my computer, or ANY computer. rather than download an app on every pc I would use it on and physically plug in the phone everytime.. not that it would last more than an hour tethered without being plugged up or anything.
anyhow, so as of this point we're at VZ's whim for tethering?
*puts on flame retardant suit*
I swear I used the search button but didn't find a clear answer in any threads.
....and I'm not trying to start a debate about the morals of tethering without paying for a tethering plan.
I simply want to know if freezing and/or locking "TetheringManager" with an app like Titanium Backup or App Quarantine will allow you to tether (and this is the important part ) without being caught by your provider.
Thanks!

Yes. You can tether for free by freezing it. I don't know if they can track it at all but I've done it a couple times and never heard anything from them or seen anything on my bill about it... just beware data usage.
As far as morals of it... There are no morals behind it, all it is, is using data. It is a feature that is built into the hardware, we pay the phone company for the data, we should be able to use it however we like.
I haven't done it but I've read people having mixed results. I have also read an AT&T employee mention that they "know more about our data usage than we think" so I'd say be careful with it. I've heard different browsers on your PC have a bit to do with it as well, probably avoid Safari.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
I don't think that that will work. A guy at the tech support for at&T explained to me that they can tell if your using the phone for tethering because your computer has a different ip and mac address then your phone. Their server receives a request from your tethered computer, they can see that that request did not come from your phone.
You could try it, they warn you by text and phone 3 times before they switch your data plan to a tethering one.

Seems almost too easy.
People are fairly sure that browser useragent is one of the main triggers. Also, there are a lot of apps that are "obviously" coming from a PC.
If you tether another Android device (like a tablet), it seems like you'll be fine. I tether my Tab 10.1 all the time with no problems.
Using a encrypted VPN stops all chances of AT&T knowing a thing

TTL is also a very big possibly of the detection method. All data goes through att proxy servers and is analyzed. Only way to make sure is to use a vpn. Around a year ago, a company in Europe said they could analyze all packets, regardless of encryption status.

After reading up on this it would appear that there is no 100% sure way to tether without being caught. Various methods have been tried with varying results. I'm willing to bet that it's simply the amount of data you consume that determines if you get caught.

I'd imagine that's about rite. I've tethered for short periods and never had an issue. However i'm guessing if your usage suddenly jumps or looks strange, it throws a flag up and they look a bit deeper at that point. I'm guessing there's gotta be something that triggers the "deeper analysis" of your usage. I can't image they literally scan everything that comes through the network, just to see if someone's tethering without the correct plan, that would seem like a big waste of resources.
of course this is all just my speculation, I could very well be completely wrong.
Just pay for the tethering plan, like most of us do. There are genuine reasons data costs so much and is limited. I'm not going into that because I'm sure you can figure out the reasons.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
TTL is the main way they detect it. Coming from our phones it starts out as 64. If you are tethering to a windows machine the TTL will be 128. In other words, if ATT sees a value higher than 64, there is a good chance that that traffic is not originating from you phone. The safest way to tether is to use "Tether" by Koushik Dutta, the dev for ROM manager. It is not available in the market because att has blocked it,but you can grab it from clockworkmod.com. It essentially sets your phone up to be a proxy so att thinks the traffic is originating from your phone, thus having a TTL value lower than 64. To take thing even a step further....pay for a secure vpn provider. I use tigervpns in the market or play...I hate the new name! It cheap, fast and secure. Happy tethering!

Since the Touchpad is wifi only, I wouldnt count on it unless you had the wifi set to never sleep, whoever took it never turned it off or rebooted to webOS, and it happened to be near wifi.

Thinking about picking up the V60 ThinQ. I don't have any experience with LG so I'm not sure how user friendly they are when it comes to root and unlocking bootloaders. I'm stubborn and refuse to buy a phone that doesn't have:
1) A headphone jack
2) A microSD card slot
3) Root access
Yes I realize that is just making life harder for myself but I have my principles.
I know this phone is fairly new and I seem to be having trouble finding much information about root. Does anyone know if there has been any progress with it?
I'm really not trying to be "that guy" I just haven't had much luck finding reliable info. I suppose that is probably a good indicator that the info just doesn't exist but I figured I'd take a shot at asking the pros.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
don't get me wrong I love this phone but I kind of regret trading my pixel 4 xl... LG blocked users access to the bootloader... you can access fastbootd and download mode and recovery and that's it. all commands are blocked in fastboot mode as well. although the OEM unlock switch can be toggled out of the box I think they allowed this because they know that you will not gain access. I may get the S20 Plus next week, at least it has root...

It is for me. I use a few apps that need root permissions. Also, being locked out of certain parts of a pocket computer "for my own good/safety/security" just doesn't sit well with me. If I decide to go into the file system and start hacking and slashing files until it's a brick, that's on me.
I can easily see how that could seem silly to some but at the end of the day if I'm going to spend hundreds of dollars or more on a device that I carry with me everywhere and use every day for the foreseeable future, it's damn sure going to have the features that I want. For me that's a 3.5mm headphone jack, a microSD slot, and root access. Of course, I have a bad habit of making my own life more difficult based on principle alone. I wouldn't recommend it. However we all have to pick and choose our own hills to die on. Don't even get me started on dongles...
Anyway, I'm very sleep deprived and rambling on about nonsense. Apologies.

don't get me wrong I love this phone but I kind of regret trading my pixel 4 xl... LG blocked users access to the bootloader... you can access fastbootd and download mode and recovery and that's it. all commands are blocked in fastboot mode as well. although the OEM unlock switch can be toggled out of the box I think they allowed this because they know that you will not gain access. I may get the S20 Plus next week, at least it has root...

For those who still want a 3.5mm audio jack on their cellphone, the S20 Plus isn't a viable option.

that may be true, but I was talking about myself because I could care less about the headphone jack. I got the V60 because of the battery life, the size, the price, and 5G... the dual screen was a bit intriguing yes but it did not fully influence my choice lol
I was thinking about getting the V60 too as I'm still on the V30, and just broke the screen over the weekend. Root is essential to me because I cannot use the portable hotspot to tether without it as my carrier blocks that by default, and forces you to change your plan if you want tethering. Root is the only way I know around that, but it sounds like the V60 has not yet been rooted.

it took over a year many variants of the V30 to be rooted iirc, this phone is far too new, and in limited markets (so fewer devs hacking on them). My guess is it will take a while for us, unless someone gets lucky.
Just to add to this, I seen that an octopus box can work on every device EXCEPT the T-Mobile version.

I'm certainly no expert, but I would expect rooting this phone to take quite some time, and perhaps a small miracle.
I don't even think they're selling an open-market unlocked version in the U.S. as they did with my last phone, the V30+.

Also, I'm curious about articles like this https://myphoneupdate.com/root-lg-v60-thinq-5g/ where the guy claims he roots the V60 via SuperSU & Magisk, among a few other methods. Is it all BS?

That article is BS.
I suggest looking on eBay. There might be a fire hose.

Get the V60. Use an app called PDAnet+ from the play store. Costs $8 to permanently unlock unlimited tethering. Works on un-rooted phones and hides the data from the carrier. Hands down one the best apps I ever paid for. They have a trial mode to make sure it works. Hope this helps.

PDAnet is great. Gets around the tether cap for me no sweat. What do you mean by it hides the data though? Are you saying it shows NO data use or it hides the fact you are tethering?

Pdanet+ only gives you truely unlimited tethering/hotspot only with a rooted device? are will it work on my t-mobile LG V60 thin Q device regular not being rooted because there is no root process yet on the V60 device.Is there any special way that you need to set up the pdanet+ app in order to get unlimited hotspot on the V60 to work? Thanks In advance!!!

I'm using it on my V60 now as a client but it's working as a host on my temporary unrooted revvlry and it worked just fine on my unrooted v40. You need to know how to set the proxy setting in advanced networking because you can connect any device to it using the proxy settings. Click help in pdanet and follow the instructions for other devices. But the best results are going to come if you have PdaNet on both devices and you connect them through the PdaNet application.
But no. I am getting truly unlimited tethering with no throttling on all of my unrooted devices that I've used it as a host. So if you -don't- have a rooted device try PdaNet. It works because it is operating as its own server, a proxy server. The data is going to your unrooted device then going through a server to the client device. The carrier doesn't see this as a tether.
Edited for errors

I second that. Completely worth paying for. The only thing I found is that Verizon sometimes seemed to catch on to what I was doing, because I would stop getting data. I would have to disconnect and then reconnect and then things worked fine. It was a minor inconvenience.
One reason I want root access is so I can run AdGuard and NordVPN together (without using their SOCKS5 server).

After what I have read about what they did to fastboot Im not holding my breath for root. Im returning the phone and getting the Galaxy S10.
Root has become less of a necessity for me over the years, though I do think that if I pay $1 for something, it should be mine to do with as I choose. $800 for a phone and I DAMN SURE should have that ability. If I brick it or make it so that any noob can get my info off wifi/bluetooth/whatever, then that's on me. No *****in' policy in full effect.
