FlashArmyKnife App Features Hidden Tethering Feature

Posted December 26, 2012 at 6:36pm by iClarified
FlashArmyKnife, an app by developer Eric Blase, features a hidden feature that will enable tethering.

Tethering is enabled by navigating to the Calculator and entering the following combination without comas: 1642, M+, C, 1452, M+, C, 1943, M+

If the combination was entered correctly the display will read 'run' and tethering will be enabled on HTTP port 6667 and SOCKS port 6668.


Pressing 'C' on the calculator will stop tethering.

You can purchase FlashArmyKnife from the App Store for $1.99.

As expected, this App has been pulled for good. I just hope the developer made enough money. Till next time....

I've downloaded this calculator yesterday and the tethering is not working. It does say "run" but it's not showing upon my other iPad and iPhone :(

It does work on the laptop though :)

What i really need is an AppStore app that gives my iPad 2 (Wifi 3G) a wifi hotspot feature!

Doesn't at&t keep track of this and the just charge the monthly fee ones detects the use of this option?

I watch the video and dang it requires a lot of work just to tether. I bought 1 year subcription from tether.com for 29.95 a year and required less work. Within seconds I'm tethering. With the flash army knife takes several steps. And yes the price is great but what if apple pulled it? Then, this app will never get supported.

Nah! Just bitter. I have had hidden tether app from the past and when apple pulled it it became meaningless. I'm just tired of all the run around. Besides, I have ways of tethering my iPhone by using hotspot with VZ iPad mini or tether.com if I really need to.

Even if Apple pulls the App, the App will still work. Once something is on your phone, Apple can't just get into your device and remove the App. You make no sense.

Not true. Sometimes apps eventually becomes useless because is not being updated by the developer. Believe me, tether app was one of them. But they found somehow, but their apps from apple is useless.

I design ios/android applications for a living your statement is incomplete. Once downloaded to a persons machine and installed on ones phone then it will work forever unless Apple closes a loophole with iOS updates (though they won't). So this app will work as long as the user is attentive to his future iOS updates that *could* stop it from being used. In the end, this app forwards the ports through your wifi. Not to much Apple can do. Anyway the company can easily make the application downloaded and installed from their website without the need of Apple just like we do with our Enterprise Applications: www.nuvizz.com.

Apple allows companies like us to have our own Enterprise App Stores outside of the Apple App Store. All someone has to do is significant and get the app just like Tether does. But this is only $2 where tether is $30. Most will take the $2 one.

@dax I completely agree and I may be jumping into conclusion right away. I was just speaking from experience and just saying about the chances that a buyer may face. Some developer and not all, may abandon an app once the app has been pulled from App Store and when an iOS gets updated, the app becomes useless because is no longer being updated by the developer. So who loses in the end? The consumer that bought that app. Now, if that one developer take it to the next step on their side and being persistent with their product and want to continually deliver, that's great. Like what tether app did to theirs, they believed in their product and want to stay in business and so they found a way to do it.

Misleading. I thought that it will allow me to tether with my iPad so I rushed and bought it. Then, I watched the video and realized the truth. I am a PC wiz and found it radically complicated even to tether with a PC. So, If you are looking forward to tether your iPad, this is not the solution. we have to sit tight and wait for the JB if it ever happens. tether.com does not allow iPad to iPhone tethering either.

I believe this is only useful for those in the States, in Canada we can create hotspots no charge!

No charge for Tethering if you can get a spot to use...phone service changes so many times during the day, that itself should be giving free to apologize for the inconveniences.

angel_92701
angel_92701 - December 26, 2012 at 9:25pm
I meant. it displaying RUN but how you connect to an ipad o other iOS
iDood

I have a feeling it's just a matter of minutes or seconds this app will be gone.

Dyllon - December 26, 2012 at 9:23pm
I know that's why I grabbed it as soon as I saw it $2 is better then paying $30 a month
Bran
Bran - December 26, 2012 at 7:43pm
I got it to say run but don't know how to make it tether my Internet. Can someone help?

Go to your network setting on a Mac. Select wifi and then select advance. Go to the "proxies" tab and select SOCKS proxy or web proxy and fill in the supplied information.
Bill Gates
Bill Gates - December 26, 2012 at 7:26pm
So how do you use it? Do you need software on your laptop? Does it connects via USB?
Matt
Matt - December 26, 2012 at 7:10pm
Isn't tethering built-in in ios?
Dyllon
Dyllon - December 26, 2012 at 9:25pm
It is but you have to buy it from your carrier to use it which is like $30 a month
Juan
Juan - December 26, 2012 at 7:08pm
Does it work on sprint???
Dyllon
Dyllon - December 26, 2012 at 6:53pm
So you don't have to pay the crazy carrier fee to do it... But I'm sure apple will remove it soon and ban the developer that made it
