Synergized Titlebar Control

New option in settings. Allows changing the titlebars in multiwindow. Not all modes planned have been implemented yet, it was really a time vs functionality on this, and quicker release won. The extra modes turned out to be a bummer getting to play right.

For now we have:

1) Always On

2) Only on in MW

3) Never On

*Note* The first time you need to jiggle the setting for it to work, theres no default value set so its weird until you play with it.

*Note2* The setting only applies to new windows created after you change it. So if somethings running it will retain the old titlebar "style" until you kill it off and restart it.

WifiTether update!

Minor back end changes to configurations that dont really affect you guys but the big thing is the ability to change the AP's broadcasting MAC address. Non IT-guys will probably yawn at this but for those of you who know this isnt something that goes with cheese read below.

*NOTE* If you are dirtyflashing (tisk tisk) you may need to go into menu -> settings -> re/install binaries for things to work right.

New option has been putting in for AP Mac Address spoofing. Recently I came across a situation where a main access point stopped functioning. Needed a quick temp patch to slip in while we reflashed hardware. Problem was strict restrictions clients have setup to only connect to a certain SSID with a specific MAC. With no on hand spares, the result is this new option in wifitether.

Besides people in my situation, this option may also be useful to fake the appearance of real access point hardware. You can change the first 3 octets of MAC of say a netgear or linksys device to give your tethering AP the appearance of a real access point.

This brings me to my next use of the feature which is using WifiTether as a part of Network Penetration Testing. This is a big part of my day to day stuff- making sure jerks cannot reak havoc on my networks. Below are a few test cases for the IT guys out there to test security of YOUR OWN networks.

Possible Security Test cases? Only click the below button if you will use these for good

WEP/WPA(2) "Security Downgrade/bad neighbor" issue

1) Use WifiAnalyzer App on phone, or inssider on windows, and write down information from YOUR OWN security protected AccessPoint. You will need mac address, channel, and SSID.

2) Set those values inside of wifitether exactly the only difference from your real AP you will want to make is to turn security off then start wifitether.

3) See if any devices drop down to no security and join your network

Test for denial of service issues:

Follow the above steps except turn security on. Clients may deauth themselves from your real AP due to invalid password (from your new tethered AP) during the horrible network collision that must be created.

Another test would be set MAC filtering to ignore all and leaving security open. The same issue may occur.

Why is it good to secure against a Security Downgrade attack?

If your devices go to no security without issue from there someone running an app like WireShark or even "Network Spoofer" using passive tests could intercept/tamper with your traffic. This is not good.

Some devices have drivers/software bundled with them that is smart enough to atleast prompt a user before downgrading security but it is surprising how many devices do not.

Remember, only do said type of tests on a network you own. Running "Security Tests" on other network you do not have control of is probably illegal. Wifi signals are easy to scan for and most IT guys have some type of Network Analyzer app on their phone so to follow the signal strength to the originating device is a no-brainer. Dont end up in cuffs because you tried to "Security Test" your ex-gf/college/business/FBI's network. The partyvan is not as funny when its in your driveway. Like all root apps, with great power comes great responsibility.

Enjoy the new build guys :)
