$1.99 app sneaks into the App Store, allows tethering via Proxy


QuasiDisk, $1.99 AppStore app, has a hidden feature, you can tether 3G internet with it!!. Simply start QuasiDisk's FTP server on port 5100, connect it adhoc to mac or PC, and add SOCKS and HTTP proxy settings to the computer on ports 5050 for SOCKS and 6666 for HTTP proxy. Another tethering app snuck into the App Store. QuasiDisk ($1.99) purports to be a file manager for the iPhone, but it appears that in the most recent update over the weekend, it stealthily got the ability to tether via proxy. Apple is usually pretty quick to pull these, so you might want to jump on this app if you want some tethering without a carrier plan.
