SkyFire Beta Finally Out!!!

[egzthunder1]

Hey Guys,

I has been a long damn wait, but I finally got the long awaited Skyfire first release. I will share the cab here. However, I do believe that you need an account to use it (kinda like M$ did with their new browser)

However, there are a few things about this new Browser:

1. Since this is the first release, it is relatively slow (not in the loading of the page, but in the scrolling, zooming, and anything using flash (youtube, flash games, etc).
2. I am not sure if it has anything to do with the browser itself, but I installed it, I run the browser for a few minutes with a wifi connection, and the next thing I know, my Blue Angel is about to shut down due to having almost no battery (8% left). Did I mention that I had roughly 75% battery 15 minutes earlier? On an extended Battery?!?!?! (~2400 mAh)

I knew that flash apps have the tendency to run your battery dry but... damn!

Like I said, I posted it because I just felt that it was the right thing to do, to share this with my fellow xda-users ;)

Other than that, this looks rather promising. I will update as I receive any new updates from these people.

Sorry, this is no help for the majority of the users. Will give an error message about System authorization. Thank you for the effort. I personally hope to get my code soon:D

[greenhacks]

thanks will try it out

[TurboX2]

same here with the system authorization..

but i a least saw that it does not take the persumed "20 seconds" to boot the browser up. took me about 2sec. on my tilt

Actually, it did take about 20 sec to boot on my BA. I guess that I oversaw that little detail :)

I figured that much, but I just thought I would give it a try. Heck someone could probably hack that code. We have good, skilled programmers here :D ...
Just Kidding!!

Since this doesnt work on all devices (except the choosen beta testers), please change the title

[chrisd1a1]

have downloaded the cab, just freezes when trys to connect to the web. hope that either someone cracks the security or they hurry up and release in the uk:mad:

[ryncppr]

You know....you could just always sign up on their website and have the program link sent to you!!! Thats what I did and it works!!1:p

[flaviopac]

Don't work on my Touch...

[Ya Boi D]

Anyone receive any invitations today ?

[rtakeo]

no crack yet

[evandena]

no crack yet

It's server based, so don't expect a crack.

Wasn't deepfish too? There was a crack eventually. Browser was shit though :)

Just found this....

I've taken a look at SkyFire & it doesn't look good. It's not possible to force authorization as it depends on a secret PGP keypair shared between the activation server & the device. A meet in the middle attack would be our next best bet but this is not guaranteed as they're using SSL to encrypt the packets flowing between.

Even if the app were cracked to force successful authorization on the client side it would just freeze & wait for a non-existent response from the authorization server. A crucial part of the activation would be that it compares the IP of the client to determine their geographical location & any place outside the US results in an "Invalid authorization" response.

Another possibility is to access the server through a tunnelling exploit but this highly depends on the configuration of the server itself. I doubt that they'd leave this channel open.

Also something interesting to ponder:

Code:
.rdata:0007BA0C aReset DCB "Reset",0 ; DATA XREF: .text ff_28DE0o
.rdata:0007BA12 ALIGN 8
.rdata:0007BA18 aScheduledAHard unicode 0, <Scheduled a hard reset for tstamp=%d>,0
.rdata:0007BA18 ; DATA XREF: .text ff_292BCo


This is a debug message that would not be displayed to the end-user so there exists a condition where it secretly schedules a hard-reset of the client's device. Nice going, SkyFire http://forum.ppcwarez.org/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif

You just copied that from ppcwarez.org, nice job claiming you "found it" yourself :P

[E_Shinobi]

You should qoute things like this so people with too much time (like me) will stop bitching about it ;)

[met3ora]

Arr. I signed up fairly early and I haven't received a beta code yet :(.

[pacmantom]

I still haven't got mine either and signed up a while ago too. I would like to test it out.

[wilsonzone]

I signed up on the first day for eligible submissions, no invite yet. I am trying not to take it personally but I am sure there is a secret society out there that has found me out. ;)

Suspicion that this thread can take a turn for the worse and become a WAREZ Discussion.

If the software is legit avaliable and you want to discuss it without the talk of how to crack it then feel free to open an new thread but I'
m going to let this one die...
