Figure 1: for Macs Ever since the iPhone was announced, people have been clamoring to write native applications for it. Sadly, Apple has not yet released the tools necessary to develop those apps. However, if you've been following the iPhone news you realize that the iPhone has been 'hacked.' What does this mean to you, the nonhacker? Well it means that thanks to the mighty efforts of many dedicated people, you can install applications directly onto your iPhone.

The best part, it's easy. Read on for our full How To on how to hack your iPhone so you can install applications. Step One: Update and Backup First up: update iTunes.

Just open your System Preferences and then Software Update to do it. As of this writing, you can use the simple hacking method described in this article with any recent version of iTunes. I write that because it's theoretically possible Apple will prevent it from working in the future. On the bright side, the fact that they haven't stopped it yet is a good sign. If this first step ever changes, we will update this article to let you know. What you're about to embark on isn't supported by Apple, but nevertheless it's been proven safe and easy by thousands of users.

Still, it's always a good idea to do a backup before you do anything major with any computing device, including your iPhone. Backing up your iPhone is simple - just sync it to iTunes. (If you want to be extra-careful, you can even back up your Address Book and iCal files, but that's a separate issue. In both of those applications, there are backup options under the 'File' menu.) Step Two: Download AppTappInstaller Head on over to, where you'll find the download for the AppTappInstaller. Click the download link in the big orange box (and feel free to ignore the copious amounts of technical jargon on that page). That will give you a file called AppTappInstaller.zip in your downloads folder. Open that up to get yourself the real file we're looking for here: AppTappInstaller.app:.Believe it or not, you're halfway done!

Step Three: Hack Your iPhone! Now open up AppTappInstaller.app - you can copy it to your /Applications directory if you like, but I just ran it directly from my Desktop.

It almost makes more sense to do it that way, because:. You probably won't have to go through this process again anytime soon.

If you do ever need to redo it, you'll want to download the latest version of the installer anyway. So now we're greeted with the opening window, which has a warning in RED, so you should read it: You already updated iTunes in step one, so the only thing you need to do here is quit iTunes. If you haven't done so already, place you iPhone in the dock, let it sync, and then quit iTunes. Next up is a screen asking you to pick your Firmware version: You almost surely have the 1.0.2 (as of this writing) version of the firmware. But as the window says, you should double-check. On your iPhone, go to Settings - General - About - Version. If you don't have version 1.0.2 installed, I'd actually recommend you install it.

(To do so, go into iTunes, click your iPhone, click the 'Summary' tab, and then click the 'Check for Update' button.) Double check that iTunes isn't open and then to select Firmware 1.0.2. Click Continue. What happens now is that AppTapp is going to grab the firmware, then it will 'hack it' behind the scenes, and finally install the 'hacked firmware' onto your iPhone. The whole process should take no more than 5 minutes.

During this process, do not disconnect your iPhone. Moreover, you'll see the yellow 'Please connect to iTunes' icon a couple of times - do not fret and do not open iTunes. Just let the installer do its thing. When it's all said and done your iPhone will be identical to what it was before with one important difference, you now have an icon on your home screen called 'Installer.' Congratulations, you've hacked your iPhone! In the unlikely event something went wrong, see the appendix below on resetting your iPhone. Step Four: Getting started with Installer.app We'll start with two points before we jump into Installer.app.

The first point is that Installer.app is sweet. I've been using smartphones for many years now, and this application put together by Null River is the best experience I've ever had installing applications. The second point is that we will have a full run-down on Installer.app tomorrow, stay tuned. Until then, here's some information to tide you over. Every time you open Installer.app it will want to get online to check to see if there have been any updates to your installed programs and to download the latest list of programs.

So don't fret if it pauses for a moment. You will really want to be on WiFi when using this app, too, although it's not the end of the world using it on EDGE. Your first step should be to tap on the 'Install' tab on the top and then install 'Community Sources.' This will make Installer.app check a few different places for applications, giving you a wider selection to choose from. Simply tap the 'Install' button in the upper-right. Your second step: install some apps!

I'd recommend starting with some games and perhaps ApolloIM for Instant Messaging. Here's the thing, as soon as you install your 4th app, you'll find that they have scrolled off your main screen. There are several applications that fix that issue, but my favorite by far is an application called 'SummerBoard' (Under System). Summerboard makes your home screen (aka your 'SpringBoard') scrollable like any other iPhone screen. Note that you'll have to reset your iPhone after you install this app. The best way to do that?

That would be number 2 in the appendix below. Welcome to the World of Native Applications! Officially sanctioned by Apple or not, the native applications for the iPhone are really great and getting better every day. So far Apple has released several updates to both the iPhone and to iTunes without breaking any of the functionality of these native applications, so it's reasonable to expect that they'll continue to work for the foreseeable future. Appendix: Resetting your iPhone Like most smartphones, the iPhone has a few curious button combinations you will want to have in your bag of tricks in case anything ever goes wrong. Here they are in escalating order - which is to say you should try #1 before #2, #2 before #3, and so on.

Force-quit an application. You know you can hit the home button to return to your home screen, but your home button has another function. Hold it down when you're in a frozen application to force-quit that application. This is especially useful in Safari and Mail (the buggiest of the iPhones apps in my experience). Just keep holding it until you're back at the home screen.

Turn off your iPhone. This is the easiest way to reset the iPhone (and the safest). Just hold down the sleep/wake button until a red slider appears on your screen.

Slide your finger across it and your iPhone will shut down. Hold the sleep/wake button down again to turn it back on. Reset your iPhone. If holding down the sleep/wake button doesn't work, you can also try to just force a reset of your iPhone. To do that, hold down both the sleep/wake button and the home button until the apple logo appears. That's your iPhone booting up. Reset your Settings.

If your iPhone is still acting buggy, there's still one last step you can try before resorting to a full restore. Head on into your iPhone's Settings, choose General, then choose Reset. Inside you'll find a few reset options. Start with 'Reset All Settings,' which will do what it says but not actually delete anything. 'Reset All Content and Settings' will delete all of your data (but not the Installer.app!), so you'll have to resync it over if you use that option. Restore Mode. It's very rare, but sometimes you'll just need to start from scratch.

Note that you're going to want to have your computer on hand when you do this option, as you will not only lose all of your data right away, but you will also be unable to use your iPhone at all until you've connected it to your computer. To do it, hold down both the sleep/wake button and the home button for a long time - around 30 seconds or so. Eventually a yellow triangle will pop up commanding you to connect the iPhone to iTunes. Do that and then you'll need to do a full restore. Note that this option absolutely wipes everything from your iPhone: contacts, data, and applications, and returns it to a 'factory state.'

Welcome back, my greenhorn hackers! As all you know by now, I'm loving this new show, Mr. Among the many things going for this innovative and captivating program is the realism of the hacking. I am using this series titled ' to demonstrate the hacks that are used on this program. In the, Tyrell Wellick, the technically-astute CTO wannabe, is seen having an affair with one of his employees.

When his lover goes to the shower, he grabs his phone and installs tracking software on his phone to spy on him. We don't yet know why he has installed the software, but I'm sure we will find out soon. Tyrell, with the physical phone in hand, is seen downloading and installing software to the phone for some malicious purpose (this is Tyrell, after all—he has nothing other than unbridled, ambitious, and malicious purposes). The Premium FlexiSPY with all the features listed above costs $349 per year.

But there are other numerous iPhone and Android spying packages available from other companies. These include:. And many, many others Most of these apps will not be in your app store as they are considered malicious, but some will.

Some limited-capability apps are available in your app store that will track, for instance, GPS location, something that an employer might want to track employees or a parent might want to track their child movements or locating a lost cell phone. These are all considered legitimate and legal applications of this technology. In the Google Play Store, these include:. These apps primarily track the location of the phone and are not capable of doing so many of the things that the paid apps do, such as reading SMS and email messages, listening in on conversations, spying on WhatsApp and other chat messengers, controlling the phone, etc. Using a Smartphone Spying App Before we go further, I want you to keep a few things in mind. You MUST have physical access to the target phone/mobile device (the device you want to track). You have to be able to download the mobile spy software onto the device you want to track, and you don't need to download anything on your phone or computer.

I found that it takes just about 2-3 minutes to install and activate. You must have internet access. These spy software apps transfer the data inside the phone/tablet to a central server where you can then access it.

You must have Internet access from another device to access the phone's information. It probably goes without saying, but make sure the spy software is compatible with the phone's operating system. Be aware that it is illegal in most jurisdictions to install tracking software on a device that is not your own. All that having been said, now let's install a smartphone spying software to test its capabilities.

TheTruthSpy Let's try out one of these apps for Android, TheTruthSpy. It has a 48-hour free trial, so we can use it for a couple days before deciding to buy it. Let's download it, install it, and give it a try.

Step 1: Check Out Its Features This software seems to have all the features we could ever want to spy on someone's phone like Tyrell did in Mr. These features include:. GPS tracking. Read email. Record calls.

Read WhatsApp and other messages. Track internet browsing. View photos.

Send commands to the phone. And a few others Step 2: Install TheTruthSpy Before we can install any spy software on a mobile device, we need to change the security settings.

By default, Android and iOS are designed to only allow the installation of apps from their official store/repositories. We need to change that. On Android, go to your 'Security' settings (in the default Settings app), then allow app installations from '.' After just 2-3 minutes with the phone, the spy software is installed and ready to go!

To make sure the person doesn't notice anything wrong on their smartphone, make sure to disable 'Unknown sources' if was previously unchecked, delete the.apk file from the Downloads app, and, which can be done after logging in to the app. Step 3: Log in to Control Panel Now that we have TheTruthSpy installed, we can access the phone information from the cloud. The spy software we have installed on the phone relays all the information on the phone to a server. We can then access that server via an account at as seen below. We all know that these apps are most commonly used for spying on significant others not kids and rarely I'd EVER an employer. It is stupid you can see the app in the apps list.

And most people DO look at their apps list. These developers need to figure out a way to hide it better, usually sticks out like a sore thumb or takes over ' device administrator' which is also incredibly obvious. Some even have notifications pop up on target phone. Another thing: no mention of private browsing mode eh? Most of these apps don't record or capture what was viewed in private mode - all the pervs and cheaters know to use private mode ( porn pervs) there are a select 2 maybe 3 apps not mentioned here which do record private mode. Also all of these apps require the target phone to be rooted to get most features they advertise and boast about.

I think these spy apps on the market need improvement. Not much has improved since their introduction. Most of them don't even have actual keyloggers yet they call themselves one. Nice Post as always. As i was reading it, i was intrigued by one part in particular, 'and hide TheTruthSpy's icon, which can be done after logging in to the app.' How can the app do this??

From all my readings, root access is mandatory to hide the icon. Allowing unsigned apps has nothing to do with rooting the phone. And even if we assume that the app somehow tries to get root privileges, a reboot would be mandatory. Also i would hate to give root privileges to a third party spying app over which I have 0 control!!! Learning to hide the icon could be really interesting particularly if we would like to try to develop our own apk.

If you have knowledge of some techniques or documents that could help answer this question it would be much appreciated. P.S: On my android phone with cyanogen version (5.1.1) not rooted, there is a protected app feature (settings, app, option (3dots), protected app) that can hide the app from the app list and the icon from the home screen. However,it requires a pattern. Thus if the option was previously used by the target, it would require from the attacker to have physical access to the phone and know the pattern which is less practical and likelyl. Recently I received a call from a friend of mine but when I answered there was no one on the line.

I got a second call from this same friend and this time I could hear someone in the background but then they hung up again. She lives about 500 miles from where I was staying in the states. Then I got a facetime request from her and when I answered some kid said.' Oh shit the damm thing worked!' And then they hung up. So I tried facetiming them back because my first thought was they had either stolen her phone or she had lost it. So when I did the whole facetime thing I was able to see several teenagers in the background and I was talking to this kid.

He didn't say much to me and I couldn't get any info out of him except that he was located in a small town in the northern part of Michigan. My friend lives in the southern part of Michigan down by Livonia. Then he hung up.

My service provider told me that the kids can put a app on their phone and access another persons contacts and then make calls using the numbers in that contact list. How did they do thi???
