Just so I’m not confused, this is a howto on spamming people on their mobile phones, right?
Yeah, WTF is this?! 🙁
But information wants to be free!
This is an example in “simulation sandbox”.
In real operator’s NSS, WAPGW PPG always requests PushInitiator authentication before giving permission for any pushes.
So let’s get this straight. This article advocates setting up Linux as a spammer machine for cell phones?
Lookie! Now we have open-source spam. Boy, ain’t that cool!
Hey, a. you said “This is an example in “simulation sandbox”. ”
So easy is it to allow the spam to exit the sandbox? A simple /etc/config change I presume?
So you think if that wasn’t published, it would prevent anyone from figuring it out himself and spam on cell phones?
Perhaps there are some real cool things one could do with this.

Like what? It said “delivery of unsolicited information to a mobile device”, in my book that’s not cool, it’s just a bloody annoyance.
One application is pushing email from the company lan directly to an employees mobile as soon as it is received.
