Hi all,
I've done a number of searches and tried some of the available solutions for other products (Nook, Galaxy) but can't seem to get this to work on my Galaxy Nexus.
I am trying to connect to our wifi network at the office which uses PEAP authentication. I can set it up fine from a laptop but can't get it to work on the phone. Anyone have it working?
I know this is an older thread, but I am having the same problem at work on my Galaxy Nexus. I tried a few apps that used to work on my other phones (most notably, Marcus95's well-known Wifi Advanced Config Editor), no dice. The app's author mentions he is aware of the issue and will fix it... once he gets enough donations to buy a phone to test his code on. Not a good sign.
Any ideas on manually configuring this? Any ideas are welcome.
My work uses peap and leap for their wifi's
I use a free app called LeapWifi
Its great and works like a charm

I'll try it, thanks. If anyone has info on what these apps actually modify on the phone, I would be interested in investigating this further with a programmer buddy of mine.
Finally, no go. This is really annoying, why hasn't Google figured out how to integrate enterprise networking in its wifi management? Why does this work for some phones but not others? Frustrating to say the least.
Ok, I've been digging into this and it seems that the problem has to do with how the wpa_supplicant conf file (normally found under /data/misc/wifi) is written to by apps that support enterprise wifi configuration. As market apps don't seem to help at this point, I tried to manually add a wifi profile to connect to my work network, then checked out the logcat to see what was going on. I found multiple instances of what looks like the following, each line including different frequencies:
Line 327: I/wpa_supplicant(11577): wlan0: Trying to associate with 8c:b6:4f:a7:f1:11 (SSID='MYWORKWIFINETWORK' freq=2412 MHz)
Looks like a connection can't be made and the wifi interface is stuck. So, I checked out the wpa_supplicant file and the part that is specific to my work wifi setup looks like this:
ctrl_interface=wlan0
driver_param=use_p2p_group_interface=1
update_config=1
device_type=0-00000000-0
network={
ssid="MYWORKWIFINETWORK"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
auth_alg=OPEN SHARED
eap=TTLS
identity="MYUSERNAME"
password="MYPASSWORD"
phase2="auth=PAP"
wep_key0="hjxfjxg"
priority=4
}
The problem is that when I try to edit key_mgmt to insert WEP and delete the wep_key0 value (as my work network generates keys automatically), there is no connection. This wasn't a problem when using the same method under a Google Nexus One nor an LG G2X phones, using Froyo, Gingerbread or even ICS, only on the GNex.
Is it a conf file syntax problem, or something entirely else at play here? Any insights would be welcome.
Ok, apparently, I'm the only one having this problem.
I am working with a tech support person at my workplace to see what is going on, I'll try to report back when I get some insights on how to fix this.

Please respond if you've figured this out. My work's authentication settings are very similar to yours. I'm running CM9 and am having the same problem. Thanks!
Hey guys,
I have a simple question, which I hope, has a simple, but atleast an positive answer.
When I try to connect my HTC One X with the school Wifi network, it says 'You need to have a pincode, password or path-unlock security, otherwise you cannot access the network' (when you open the phone)
So the question: Anyway of bypassing it? I only want to move the ring to unlock the phone, instead of ALSO having a pincode, password or path-unlock.

Are you sure this isn't something to do with the Wireless encryption rather than security for unlocking your phone?

If I understand you correctly, you are wanting to hack a WEP code? I would respectfully suggest that particular area of the forum is devoted to the HTC One X whereas your query would be better directed to a website that deals with security issues.
I think the OP doesn't want to hack.
@ OP: Ever tried opening up the browser, type in an address and then the security screen of the network appears so you can log in and probably even safe your credentials?
Elsewise I don't know either, sorry.
The problem is that the the OS requires a pin code to be set up in order to store the WifFi credentials.
So if you want to log onto the network you must set up a pin. I have this problem at Uni.
No solution yet.

On Android 2.3.x (in CM7 at least) there was the option to turn off this requirement. Annoying that it's been removed in ICS!
Hi,
I also face this issue when connecting to my office WIFI hotspot. But, after you have set the pin and then set the password to connect to your WIFI. You can disable the PIN lock in Security setting right away. It's just one-time setting.

Yeah. I removed the pin and stuff and now it still reconnects..
The only problem: I can browse the web, but cannot send mails. It keeps saying 'mail not sent'.
Any ideas?
It's more than likely to do with the exchange setup, I know at our offices we have the option to enforce encryption and various different things from the server before allowing people to connect. As to why it's showing when you try to connect to the wifi network, I've no idea. It must be trying to access the domain.

It has not been removed in ICS - this appears to be an HTC implementation.
I connect to the company 802.1x EAP network using PEAP and on my Galaxy Nexus there is no requirement to set a password/pattern, etc to store said 'credentials'. Only now that I'm trying this with my One X do I see this pop-up.
Yes, VPN credentials always required a password/pattern in ICS, but this ain't no VPN.
DroidSheep is an Android application that demonstrates security weaknesses (not using https) and is capturing facebook, twitter, linkedin , yahoo, and other accounts.

NOTE FROM THE GERMAN DEVELOPER:
DroidSheep was developed as a tool for testing the security of your accounts.
This software is neither made for using it in public networks, nor for hijacking any other persons account.
It should only demonstrate the poor security properties network connections without encryption have.
So do not get DroidSheep to harm anybody or use it in order to gain unauthorized access to any account you do not own! Use this software only for analyzing your own security!

WHAT DO YOU NEED?
1. A rooted phone (no, it will for sure not work without root)
2. The App installed on the phone (latest build attached to the present post)
3. A WIFI network to test it on
How do you use it?
DroidSheeps main intention is to demonstrate how EASY it can be, to take over nearly any internet account. Using DroidSheep any user – even without technical experience – can check if his websession can be attacked or not. For these users it is hard to determine, if the data is sent using HTTPS or not, specially in case of using apps. DroidSheep makes it easy to check this.
This video demonstrates what DroidSheep can do:
http://droidsheep.de/?page_id=14
How does it work?
As already announced DroidsSheep supports almost every website – also “big” webservices like facebook and Yahoo.
How does that work this simple?
There are many users that do not known that air is the transmission medium when using WiFi. Therefore information is not only transfered to its receiver but also to any other party in the network within the range of the radio waves.
Usually nothing special happens because the WiFi users discard packets that are not destined to themselves. DroidSheep does not do this. It reads all the packets looking at their contents.
Is a website sending a clear recognition feature within a message’s content, which can identify a user (“SessionID”), then DroidSheep is able to read it although it is not intended to external users. Moreover DroidSheep can use this token to use it as its own. The server can’t decide whether the authorized user or DroidSheep has sent the request.
http://droidsheep.de/?page_id=424
How can I protect myself?
The only satisfying answer is: SSL respectively HTTPS.
Many providers already offer HTTPS, even facebook, however it must often be enabled in the settings first.
When using HTTPS the data are still sent to alle participants in the WiFi-network, too, but because the data has been encrypted it is impossible for DroidSheep to decrypt the contect of a message - remaining only a complete mess of letters, with which an attacker can’t do anything.
The real problem is that not every website provides SSL. What to do when you are in a public network (hotel, airport, etc.), you also want to use this and the site does not offer HTTPS though?
You can use a VPN-connection
For this the computer sets up an encrypted channel to a confidential computer which again transfers the data to the website.
You can also install DroidSheep Guard from the Market:

This isn't good dude.
And 'air' isn't the 'transmission medium' for WiFi. We figured that out when we discarded the ether hypothesis around a century ago.

Ok you are correct, yes, WIFI (as any other electromagnetic wave) can also be transmitted through vacuum, so yes there is no need of "air"

Ok so my network (Three uk) disabled my unlimited wifi teathering some time ago which rendered the tablet i used at work useless.
So i went out and found myself a new big screen phone, the sm-t705, a little unwieldy as a phone but hay it works.
Only here comes the snag, when i put the sim card into the device the internet would not work, an error page tells me to put the sim card into a phone to get net, three tech support told me that my phone is a tablet and cant make phone calls .....i was using it to call them lol
Anyway, to the point, i recently read that a rooted device (i am rooted) can pretend to be another device by changing the build.prop there are tons of guilds on how to change it, though from the view point of making google play see it as a different device to install unsupported applications, seems straight forward (if a little risky) but here are my questions,
1) what sections do i need to change so the phone reports as a normal phone?
2) what phone should i spoof as? (im thinking i should spoof as a phone as close to my specs in terms of processor etc as possible to avoid installing a version of an app that may have different cpu requirements or may burn out my phones gpu)
3) anyone done this? any tips if you have?
Thanks in advance,all advice greatfully recieved.
Regarding your old tablet, have you tried Foxfi?
Foxfi doesn't need a tethering plan or root and can create a hotspot using either Bluetooth or wifi.
It works great for me.
Barnacle wifi also used to be good on older devices, but seems to have issues with newer ones.
I used it to create a hotspot on a device that didn't even support it.
All you need is Foxfi on the phone and pdanet on the tablet for the 2 to connect via Bluetooth. Foxfi provides the instructions and links to pdanet to get it up and running in minutes.
For your new tablet if the sim is detecting it is a tablet and three are blocking it from mobile data then I don't think a spoof using the build.prop will fool it as it uses the imei as far as I know.
You may be better off with an xposed module to spoof the device, even then I think your success will be limited.
It's a bit crap of three to do this. I use O2 and have no issues using my phone sim in any tablet.
Does the tablet not even make a mobile data connection?
Have you checked the apn settings are correct?

I used pdanet for a while, but would prefer to just use one device, the old tablet was sold to pay for the t705 (will part pay, damn this thing was pricy)
Does the imei reveal the device model?

It's used to identify the device, so they will know it's a tablet.
There is an xposed module called device faker, but like I say I think success will be limited as I think the sim will identify the imei from the hardware.
It's seems three don't want you using your tablet for data, do they have an explanation for this?
Maybe all you need is an updated sim card.
I have a three sim card that I can use for data, but if I want I can also make calls with it if I put credit on it.

This explains the issue better then I can,
http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/opinion/...y-monthly-account-from-use-with-ipad-3368856/
As for why, the lady at the three shop told me the data to a tablet is different to the data to a phone as it's not the same operating system......I did my best to not laugh and asked to speak to a higher up, they told me that as it is a tablet and not a phone I would be breaching my contract if I used my simcard in it.....
The actual reason, someone who uses a tablet is more likly to use data and therefore they can get more money out of them via tablet plans with limited data... To sum up, greed.
My temporary solution is to use a bt simcard which gives me access to the world's most unstable bt WiFi network (which disconnects every 30 mins or so) I was hoping the build.prop would be the magic solution doh

Tethering isn't really the issue, it's that three block my simply from data access when I put it in my sm-t705 so I was hoping to make 3 think my sm-t705 was infact a Xperia z3 for example

Any page you try to access goes straight to a page three has to say that your sim card won't work in this device and to put it back in a phone, so while technically you have data you can't use it, no apps can use it either

So you actually do get a mobile data connection it's just any data sent is blocked.
Have you tried using a vpn, this can circumvent most carrier restrictions.
DotVPN is free and very good, available on play.
There is also TouchVPN, but DotVPN is better as its truly anonymous.
I use these to circumvent Sky's stupid restrictions.
Worth a go.
Vpn? He will have to use vpn? Forever?, i believe your carrier is denying access due to fake id. . .return to yor real roots, or you will get troubles,
Example , is imposible, strictly forbidden change IMEI number of mobiles,
So i may able to SHOW a fake IMEI for really nonsense apps that NEVER interest my IMEI. THAN THE CARRIER.
The carrier, will recognize my real IMEI EVER.
If i change the code inside the IMEI,
They will suspend the services.
So. . .

They already have suspended his services and no he doesn't need to use a vpn forever, he can always update his plan.
What's wrong with a vpn anyway? I use one all the time and he only needs to use it for mobile data not wifi.
We're looking for solutions here to unreasonable restrictions not statements to the obvious.
Sadly what I use most of my data for is Netflix, I work as night security. A vpn would be bad.
To chap further up, nothing is spoofed at the minute, three detect the sm-t705 when I have thier sim in it and block data access, put the sim in my phone and the block is lifted, I'm looking for a way to make three think my sm-t705 is saying Xperia z3 and leave my data along
Your IMEI correspond to your device model number.
If You change or reformat your IMEI partition with a new number and device model number and id, the carrier will blacklist and suspend your device, simcard.
Is imposible to fake IMEI to carrier provider
I am able to spoof IMEI to all that i judge nonsense apos, minus the carrier...

I have a pixel 2 xl with EX 1.01 kernel. I downloaded wireguard and then signed up on azire. It says it's only free until tomorrow- which is now today. I downloaded all the host files/ phony addresses and put them in wireguard.
Am I going to have to pay for the VPN? It was my understanding that this was all free. I'm still not sure what this is going to be doing for me though. It's my understanding that with wireguard on I can route my internet traffic through a phony server/location/device address. Azire had choices of Canada, Switzerland, Miami Florida, and some other places. I downloaded a file for each place. So I can just toggle on one of the locations and all my internet traffic will go through that phony address, right? This will allow me to access restricted content at work without work being able to track me, right? For example, movie and entertainment stuff is not viewable during lunch break because its access is restricted.
edit: I had 1 of the wireguard locations toggled on today. They were files I added from azire. They don't let me access ANYTHING on the internet when the switch is flipped on and in on my work wifi. What's going on?
Please can someone also explain the REAL, awesome benefits of wireguard and VPN? I'm only really playing around with it at this point.
I just signed up, and it says OpenVPN is free for 24 hours, while Wireguard is free indefinitely.
I don't know much about all this stuff, but I think Wireguard is a replacement for OpenVPN, which has a lot less lines of code, lighter, and having better security compared to OpenVPN. I think it's free currently as it is new and still under testing. Somebody with better knowledge oughta chime in and add more info.
Well its not much use if the VPN itself isn't free, right? What is everyone using this for? I am having a really hard time understanding it's application. If all the VPN services cost, I would think one would have to use this stuff a lot for it to make sense. Are there good, free VPNs?
I have the wireguard switch on for one the VPN files I downloaded from azire, and it works at home on my home networks, but at work I can not access anything on the internet. What does this mean? It was doing that before the 24hr trial was up (pretty sure). And I would think it wouldn't be working anymore, but I can still access stuff while on my home network with the wireguard in app switches toggled.
Im exploring this because if my phone and kernel are capable of it, I'd like to learn and utilize it. Just need help understanding how and what the proper application is.

VPN basically protects you from being identified on the internet. People use it to prevent the government or hackers from spying on them, or even bypass restrictions on website that the government imposed(torrent, porn, google.com in China).
Sure there are free VPNs, but I guess the "protection" will not be very secure compared to a paid VPN. Obviously not all paid VPNs will be super secure, you'll have to do your research on which company provides the most secure VPN. But if you're just looking to bypass restrictions and don't give a hoot about security, a free VPN normally suffice.
About not able to access the internet during work, yeah probably the office network doesn't allow any form of VPN, since that would mean they don't know what you would be doing.

the vpn is free.. azire offers the wireguard vpn for free since its still in beta testing.. openvpm is a separate vpn altogether and does not work in wireguard
the openvpn was a 24hr trial period.. openvpn will not work in wireguard
this is more a general question, not really for themes and apps section.. i suggest u read up on vpns and the different types/methods to understand more about them

speed is also a factor.. some free vpns are slow compared to ones you can purchase.. but yes, agreed, he needs to do some more research on the internet lol
How do I know if my azire is still functioning? With the wireguard VPN switched on I can access sites on my home network
Is there anyway to get around wifi networks blocking access to VPN? Can I change dns settings or addresses or something? Every place I try to use this it doesn't work. I can use my VPN at home which is where I least care to use it or need it.
I'm currently at a hotel. There are tons of people on the wifi and it seems if I were concerned about security and safe browsing I'd want to use this now! I can't! As soon as I enable the VPN the internet access stops. This seems useless. Can someone help?
