Upcoming Fonera 2.0
Tuesday, 22 April 2008

Martin Varsavsky, entrepreneur and founder of Fon, has announced an upcoming Fonera 2.0.  This "will be an open platform for developers to build their applications on top of, much like a hacked iPhone is now."  Not only that, the Fonera 2.0 will include a USB port which infinitely expands its functionality.  Additionaly, the Fonera will be able to queue up tasks like transferring photos to Flickr, downloading torrents, transferring files from flash drive/hard drive over the network, etc.  You can look at the Fonera 2.0 to essentially be a mini-computer with a USB port that can perform most tasks a normal computer can, but it does not have any additional peripheral ports.

No More Invites Left
Friday, 18 April 2008
I hope everyone who got an invite is enjoying their Fonera.  This announcement is to let people know that there are no more invites left . . . for now.  If more come around, they will be posted.  Check the forums to see if anybody has any invites they'd like to give away.
 
Fonera as Wireless Jammer - The "Fon Bomb"
Sunday, 06 April 2008

Using Legend and MDK3, it is possible to disconnect wireless clients from their access points, effectively jamming wireless communications.  Paired with a battery pack, this makes for a very mobile device which can be concealed and operated extremely easily.  The attack starts after the Fonera is turned on; you don't have to have a laptop handy to pass commands onto it. 

See the full guide and video demonstration here.

 
New Guides Posted
Friday, 04 April 2008

Two new guides have just been posted in the Tutorials and Guides section.  One of them is a serial cable guide which shows you how to make a USB to serial cable form a cell phone data cable.  The other guide is just a general guide showing how to actually connect to the Fonera after you have made your serial cable.  It also has pictures of the serial pinouts for the Fonera 2100 and 2200.

Updated Legend Firmware Release
Thursday, 27 March 2008

Meltyblood has released an updated version of the Legend Pre4.5 firmware which can be found here:

http://fon.testbox.dk/Legend/pre4.5U-STABLE/

Here's Meltyblood's response to what has changed:

I need to fix the webif (directly patched, the webif developers made more changes and they conflicted with mine). I updated the applications and it is running the equivalent of 7.09 Kamikaze. The latest MDK 3 was installed as well with the rest of the apps.

However, do not get too attached as the details will change as the firmware is updated.  He says another revision may be posted later on tonight or tomorrow, depending on your time zone.
