First Iphone Worm : Ikee

The first worm for Iphone has been discovered! Recently, several Iphone users have reported that their Iphone had been infected by a worm, changing their wallpaper into 1980s pop singer Rick Astley's portrait. There'll also be a message on your screen, that is:

"Ikee is never going to give you up."

Just like this :

The worm has been named Ikee, and is rumored to be able to spread itself. Basically, when an Iphone gets infected, it'll automatically search for all vulnerable Iphones within its area and spread. For Iphone users, don't worry, Ikee can only spread among jailbroken Iphones, or those who have lowered their Iphone's security settings in order to download third party programs.

Currently, the virus is quite harmless as it does nothing except changing your wallpaper. But don't let that trick you. If Iphone can be hacked such easily, it's likely that more worms will be on the way in the future. Other inquisitive hackers may also be tempted to experiment once they read about the world's first iPhone worm. Furthermore, a more malicious hacker could take the code written by ikee and adapt it to have a more sinister payload.

The source code is littered with comments from the author suggesting the worm has been written as an experiment. One of the comments berates affected users for not following instructions when installing SSH, because if they had changed the default password the worm would not have been able to infect them.

Oh, and here's the source code :

Who's the writer of Ikee?

A 21 year old Australia student has already admitted committing this "joke", or crime in the eyes of Apple and other Iphone users. The main reason for this was to expose the sloppy security and safety of Iphone, while making others more alert to security glitches. Personally, i think that's just a reason to cover his crime.

So, Iphone users should have learnt from this lesson and shoult be more alert by following instructions and stick to security safety settings instead of lowering them just to install some crappy program. Besides, we don't want tons of worms attacking our Iphone, do we?

Digi GPRS / MMS Configuration

For Malaysians, or rather, Digi users.

Being a Digi user, recently i encountered this problem. My Digi default settings, that is, the internet configuration was accidently deleted, which made me unable to surf the web on my phone. Digi retails were unable to get it back for me ( damn, what's your certificate for? ). So, i decided to surf the web for some help. Well, i did fix my problem, and i found that lots of people were also encountering this kind of problem.

Well, here's the solution to it :

Digi GPRS Configuration

Go to your Settings > Configuration > Personal Configuration Settings > My Web

A new account will be added. After that, choose the account and start editing it's settings as below :

Setting Name: DiGi WAP
Homepage: http://wap.digi.com.my
User Name : digi
Password : digi
Use preferred acess point : No

Then, go to acess point settings

Proxies: Enable
Proxy Port : 80 (for WAP 2.0); 9201 (for WAP 1.2.1 and below)
Proxy Address / Gateway IP : 203.092.128.188
Data bearer: choose GPRS, or packet data

Then, go into bearer settings

GPRS / packet data access point: digiwap
Network type : IPv4
Authentication Type: Normal
User Name: digi
Password: digi

MMS Configuration

It's pretty well the same.

Go to your Settings > Configuration > Personal Configuration Settings > Multimedia Msg

MMS Setting
Setting Name: DiGi MMS
Homepage: http://mms.digi.com.my/servlets/mms
Gateway IP Address: 203.092.128.160
Data bearer: GPRS
Access Point Name: digimms
Authentication Type: Normal
User Name: mms
Password: mms
Prompt Password: No
Connection Security: off
Session Mode: Permanent

MobileTV / D'podCast / Streaming Setting

Go to your Settings > Configuration > Personal Configuration Settings > Streaming

Setting Name: DiGi Streaming
MobileTV / D'podCast UDP Port Range: 1024 - 65534
Proxies: Disable
Data bearer: choose GPRS
GPRS Access Point: digistrm
Authentication Type: Normal
Login Type: Automatic
User Name: -blank-
Password: -blank-

Internet Setting

Go to your Settings > Configuration > Personal Configuration Settings > Web

Setting Name: DiGi Internet
Homepage: -blank-
Proxies: Disable
Data bearer: choose GPRS / packet data
GPRS access point: diginet
Authentication Type: Normal
Login Type: Automatic
User Name: -blank-
Password: -blank-

That's how most people fix this problem, including me. The configurations are just the same as the missing / deleted configurations, just that this is manually configured. Hope i solved your problem.

Angel & Devil Headset

Pretty much everyone nowdays listen to music through headset. The point is, people focus on the music quality, not on the headset's design. In my point of view, a good headset should be not only good from the music quality, but it must also be cute looking, so i wouldn't be ashamed to wear it while shopping on the streets. >.<

Nokia N98

There has been lots of rumours that Nokia will release their latest phone model, the Nokia N98. You can find a damn lot of supposedly "leaked" pictures of it on photobucket and google images. The question is, does the phone really exists? If so, when will it be released and how much will be the price? Will it take a damn year for it to be out? Will it cost an arm and a leg? Before we discuss about it, lets look at the features of it.
