So while looking for info on Lights Off I found some other projects by the same developer. One is called MobileNuker. It’s a pretty simple app that allows you to crash a windows machine by entering it’s IP address. Here’s a video of it working:
Watch “MobileNuker” from your iPhone or iPod Touch
You can download the app at the Google code link below and SSH it onto your iPhone. Pretty sure it only works on 1.1.4 and below based on the last time the code was edited. I tried it on my 3G and it wasn’t good…
code.google.com/p/mobilenuker/
You can see more about the app at the developer’s website here: steventroughtonsmith.blogspot.com

video is fine.. but the app is BAD BAD BAD

This app is great! It should have the ability to save IP addresses so you can trick your friends without they knowing it

Doug, does ” I tried it on my 3G and it wasn’t good…” mean that we should or shouldn’t install it?

I tried it on my 3G with 2.0 firmware and I got the SWOD, kinda. I just ssh’d it back off and it worked again. So, the app works on 1.1.4, not 2.0.

@ Lachlan . you must set correct Permissions
sa on August 7th, 2008 12:22 pm:

sa on August 7th, 2008 12:32 pm:

Change permissions using MobileFinder (Finder)
It’s the same procedure like Squid, just slightly different interface. Less likely to cock up also. First thing you’ll need to do is to change it’s settings. Turn Off Application Launch and Executable Launch.
Step 1: Navigate to the file using MobileFinder
Step 2: Tap on Modify button
Step 3: Tap on Buttons like this screenshot here.
Step 4: Tap done to save changes
Step 5: [Step optional] To confirm your permission have changed, tap Modify again, then look under “File Properties”. The “Permissions” should be 493 (that is still 755)

what file do you need to change the permission for?
awsomeeee gonna use it now:)
[Reply]

by crash a windows machine, what exactly do you mean? can people go around typing in random ip’s and messing with people or do you have to be on the same network? pardon my n00bness
[Reply]
Douglas on August 7th, 2008 1:04 pm:
same network yes…
dj on August 7th, 2008 1:27 pm:
more n00bness, what do you mean by crash? what happens, does it send a virus to the pc, cuz that sounds dangerous
Matt on August 7th, 2008 6:43 pm:
its not a virus n00b (jk)
unlike a virus, this is a one shot crash, and does not “infect” the computer.
it cannot spread, and only works if u know the exact IP address of the PC (which on a virus would be something easily gone around)
aslo it does not affect the local software, so nearby files and programs are not lost or corrupted.
the only big “problem” is that if the victim has no idea who it is, he might get frustrated having his computer shut down and leav for a few hours
It will only work against Windows 3.x, Windows 95, Windows NT 4 (pre SP6), Windows XP (pre SP1). Soo… Nothing special…

b4it on August 7th, 2008 11:53 am:
It says ONLY WINDOWS.
yeah this wont work on any new setup .. wow who is running pre SP1 on winXP . lol i don’t know anybody
[Reply]
Yeah probably not going to have a high success rate with this if it uses an old vuln.
What’s up with the post count around here lately? Dozens of apps coming out everyday and only a few posts?

Y!P on August 7th, 2008 3:07 pm:
what file do i have to change the permission? i changed all the files in the folder to 755 but it still doesnt work.
Y!P on August 7th, 2008 3:14 pm:
what file do i have to change the permission to?
lach-mal.net on August 7th, 2008 6:26 pm:
hi,
i had the same problem, you just have to access the apps folder via winscp or something an then set every file in the nuker.app folder on 755 too, because i also thought when i set the nukker.app folder on 755 that automatically every file in this folder is on 755 too, but it isn’t so
Y!P on August 8th, 2008 5:23 pm:
lach…i set every file in the folder to 755, and the folder itself. it still crashes on me. any other suggestions?
I totally forgot how to ssh this thing onto my ipod touch/iphone, can you tell me where to put this app? Thank you. Where do I put this app under? Media? Library?

/Applications
itshalo on August 7th, 2008 9:17 pm:
I dragged the folder called Nuker.app in the Applications, but I don’t know where to find the nuker on my ipod touch/iphone.
itshalo on August 7th, 2008 9:37 pm:
Nevermind its on there, I had to reboot it. But when I open it, it just shows a black screen and go back to homepage, have any idea on whats going on?
It’s just a shutdown command, you can do that from any terminal or (dos) console…

[Reply]
To prevent the pc from shutting down just enter “shutdown -b” into “run…”, but I think you already know that
[Reply]
Err the stuff up on GoogleCode isn’t working and never has worked. It was written for 1.1.4 but never finished. The video you linked to is the 2.0 SDK version, which isn’t available yet.
