iWifihack Scam

This is one of the biggest spam scams in the history of the internet. Google "iwifihack" and you will get millions of hits. They make $1000s off you for doing surveys. If you you want to hack WiFi on your iPhone / iPad / iTouch click here


iWiFihack method of payment is by completing surveys and doing offers. If you make an app that is supposed to be so good, why not make people charge outright or add mobile ads to the app? So I decided to check out this app. I knew it was fake to begin with. I made a video to show internet users it was fake. That got taken down as it was flagged for inappropriate content. If you do not believe me it is fake, install it yourself if you insist on wasting your time:

1. Download the zip (link at end of page, direct download, no password or surveys)
2. Extract the contents
3. Drag the .app file into iTunes
4. Plug you iDevice in and sync
5. Run a scan
6. Fight and get back at these people by going to this video on Youtube and flag / report it as a scam! If you can't flag it make an account.

So tell me, do these networks show up?
• default
• hpsetup
• HomeLife
• Linksys-g
• Linksys_SES_ 14542


Now, after you run a scan it should hit you that it is fake and the wasted your time and you made them money.

Networks it finds are picture files

I also got threatened by users on YouTube saying that my account would be taken down if I didn't stop reuploading the video. This iPhone app claims that it can hack any type of wifi encryption (WEP, WPA and WPA2) to retrieve lost or forgotten passwords. My research has told me that WPA and WPA2 networks are extremely difficult to gain passwords back. Unless you try one of these WiFi hacking apps. Basically, WPA encrypted WiFi cannot be hacked by collecting packets. WPA and WPA2 hacking can be achieved by brute force with a dictionary attack which is impossible for the size of this app. There is now a new method that is able to hack WPA / WPA2 WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) pins using a program called Reaver. But this is only for Linux (Ubuntu and Backtrack). Even still, you need the right USB or PCI WiFi cards and about 2 - 10 hours to successfully crack a WPA / WPA2 pin.

I knew it was bogus to begin with but I wanted to see what length they took to package a fake app. Basically, the networks it finds do not exist, even if you turn the wifi off or were out in the desert, you get the same networks coming up (look at all the blurry, Youtube videos there are. All show the same thing, over and over again. If you have a look at the contents of the .app file, you will see that the networks it finds are .png files. They have at least 188 youtube accounts at any given time that spam youtube, along with threatening users and attempting to report decent accounts for false claims. Clearly if such an amazing app did work, they wouldn't need to:

• Make people do surveys, it would sell it self you could charge quite a lot

• Have to spam people and what they think are competing videos.


Are you mad? I am as mad as hell and I am not going to take it anymore! (Network 1976). Really picked on the wrong guy dudes :)


What Can You do to Stop Them?
• Report the iwifihack.net scam to their hosts, GoDaddy. This is what I wrote, copy and paste if you like:

The app they are trying to give as free by making people complete surveys is technically impossible. The package contents of the app show that the networks it appears to find are picture files. Even in remote areas of desert, the same networks show up. This scam continues to spread throughout the internet and much of that traffic gets directed to this domain. See youtube. Same videos, multiple accounts. I hope complaints directed at this website and similar websites are taken seriously. Even if you disregard this as a scam, it still fits into the hacking, phishing and possible malware abuse categories, which is clearly against your own TOU. Thank you in advance,

• Go here, select the videos that are spreading the scam. Flag as inappropriate > Spam > Scams / Fraud

• Flag this at Norton who thinks its safe?
• Give them a taste of their own medicine, spam them with hate on their two facebook pages: Here and here. Report the page as well. Don't forget to unlike after you are done :)  
• Report files to file hosts (e.g. sharecash, filecrop)
• Add a comment below, helps with google rankings and awareness
• Spread the word
• Who else? let me know

So I managed to get a video (although it is not the best video, the best one got taken down) that is deemed appropriate from youtube. It is still up and here it is:
