iPod Touch as network management toolkit
Posted on November 13th, 2007 in WiFi, hack, iPod Touch, third-party software |
While the iPod Touch/iPhone Dev Team are kept busy working on Jailbreaking and unlocking whichever firmware version Apple are choosing to release, that leaves other hack-happy individuals thinking of all the useful things they can do with their newly-liberated devices. Over at Hack In The Box they’re looking at the iPod Touch’s potential as a network management tool; well, actually they’re setting the PMP up as the perfect, discrete hacking platform, but we’ll err on the side of legal caution and consider the whole thing a legitimate WiFi analysis device.


Their tutorial walks through the steps required to load the most useful software, such as packet sniffing and the like, starting from a freshly Jailbroken Touch and giving suggestions for further development along the way; when you’re done, you’ll have a PMP that doubles up as a handy admin toolkit.
