[Noisebridge-discuss] Neat things one could put on a person wifi device?

[Rubin Abdi]

On the subject of jail broken iPhones...

iPhones and Androids are really neat. They're wifi devices, they can 
connect to a wifi network, and with certain hacks be able to host content.

Under the iPhone I know there are a number of services you can run. As 
the previous thread detailed, more or less by default when you jail 
break a device you get openssh-server. If you've got some 1337 *nix 
skillz, you can create a "guest" user with restricted access to a couple 
different directories, such as a general "thumb drive" dropbox, a link 
to all the music in your library, etc. Someone simply needs to either 
use an SFTP client, SCP shit in/out, or use something like FUSE to mount 
the SSH account as a file system.

Additionally on the iPhone, there are some pretty easy packages to setup 
to run things such as a very light HTTP server, Samba, Apple File Share, 
iTunes music sharing and much more.

Anyhow, the point of this email is to ask, with your personal wifi 
electronic device, be it a iPhone, Android, etc, what things would you 
host off of it for others to access through a local wifi connection?
