Share PC internet with Your Android Phone

In most cases we are usually familiar with the concept of sharing internet from mobile device to a computer, thus via WIFI Hotspot, or USB tethering. And this is what we know as the all time normal! But did you know your computer can also share its internet into your android device? Today is your lucky day! I am going to share with you what I'd like to call, reverse USB tethering. This is going to be a very simple and short article. ITEMS required include the following: 1. A desktop or Laptop computer that has working/active internet (preferably Ethernet connection) 2. Android device 3. USB cable Here we go; 1. On your android device, go to settings and enable developer mode 2. In the developer mode option, Enable USB debug mode 3. On your computer, download two specific files GNIREHTET (gnirehtet.apk, gnirehtet.exe, gnirehtet-run.cmd) & PLATFORM TOOLS (AdbWinApi.dll, adb.exe, AdbWinUsbApi.dll) 4. Create a new folder on your desktop, and extract the contents of the two files we...

Uncensored Internet.

A friend of mine, the other day approached me. He presented me with an issue about WiFi connection shared by his neighbor. The problem is likely to be familiar to most of us. The thing is, most shared Wi-Fi access has certain websites blocked. You can barely do anything online other than just read through articles from site to site, nothing comes close to downloads. Anyways that's part of my friends problem. However, if you are reading this, today is one of those days. there's a remedy to such Wi-Fi connections. First of all, it is important that we understand what exactly happens here. Who ever administrates these Wi-Fi connections, blacklisted some sites (created a list of restricted sites) and since there are many websites out there, blacklisting is not enough, hence certain media downloads are restricted altogether when ever a download is detected. Now that we have an idea of the inner workings. I'd like to introduce to you a means that can undermine these restrictions ...

3 Amazing things you didn't know

In our everyday life, it's not very long ago we often take for granted computers, the internet, etc. But I think it's worth knowing a couple amazing things that our poor devices do without us ever knowing. 1. Bits, Bytes, & Size. Today people will laugh off at a 16GB phone, saying its old lol. Well here is the math, in every gigabyte(GB), there's 1024 megabytes (MB), 1024 kilobytes (KB) in a megabyte, and 1024 bytes in a kilobyte. In the lowest you have 8 bits in a byte. But why does this matter? Each bit of data is made up of eight separate floating gates. depicted as two physical transistors. Which can record themselves as either "1" or "0". This means the 16gb storage you laugh at for being small has 1,099,511,627,776 individual gates arrayed inside under that bezel. Heheh crazy engeering, we need 1TB phone right? 2. Everything you stream or play online is actually on your device . Today it's all about Netflix and Cloud computing, whateve...

What is Wifi

Wi-Fi or wifi? What is Wi-Fi? Alot of people are not clear when it comes to explaining what Wi-Fi is and how it works. To learn more about WiFi and understand it better, we will talk of Router , access points and hotspot Wi-Fi is a wireless technology used by Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). This technology is used in devices that are Wi-Fi enabled to connect to the internet. For Wi-fi to connect to the internet it uses a router that has Access point or Hotspot. Access point and Hotspot can be used interchangeably depending how it is being used. What is a Router? In computing terms a router is a networking device that connects devices between computer networks. What is an Access point? This is the connection that a WIFi device uses to conect to the internet. An access point works together hand in hand with the router. What is a hotspot? This is a physical location where one can connect or have access through a Wifi that uses an access point to connect to the router that connec...

Connecting to Wi-Fi internet without a Passphrase; WPS

And so am back with another new thing,  only very few knew or know about this. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). As a mystery burried under your phone settings within the Wi-Fi facility,  comes "wps". Oh yes what is it and what does it do? This is a security setting that is mostly found; as stated, the phone or a Wi-Fi capable device and a Wireless Internet Router that acts as a hot-spot or an access point. Let's say you visit a friend and they have Wi-Fi internet but "...now a twist lol" only the parent or guardian keeps the password or pin for the Wi-Fi as the intended devices in the house are already configured with a PIN or Password. Now that being a scenario, you are forced to just scan and find the Wi-Fi name but unable to use the internet while the router itself just seats right there in the open. New or older router models, have a button labeled "wps" this button was put in place to help people who have difficulties with long passphrases for pa...
