How to hide porn on an iPod touch/iPhone

[cwolves]

okay, just admit it...anyway...

- jailbreak it
- install apache
- ssh in and type:
- "mv /Library/WebServer/Documents /private/var/Documents"
- "ln -s /private/var/Documents /Library/WebServer/Documents"
- the previous step moves your web server root off the 300mb part of the flash that's used for the OS and onto the 8/16gb part.
- sftp your movie into /Library/WebServer/Documents
- make an .html page, for this example "porn.html"
- add this to it:
<object codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab#version=6,0,2,0" classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B">
<param value="for the birds.mp4" name="src"/>
</object>
- replace "for the birds.mp4" with the name of your movie
- visit http://127.0.0.1/porn.html
- click the quicktime icon
- enjoy
- clear safari history

you can make your html page a file browser, or whatever.

Oh, man, I'm so sorry. :D
lmao, Ratatouille porn, you have one sick mind!

[janey]

You could save the trouble..and pad the movie with scenes from another movie and just use iTunes. Like have it sandwiched between like 10 minutes of Ratatouille or something. And name it Ratatouille. :p

until my nephew wants to watch Ratatouille and I can't give him a good reason as to why he's not allowed to :-) Or better yet I happen to leave my iPod lying around and he decides to watch it.

[thebassoonist]

Ha ha ha ha ha! This thread is hilarious! :D

[tony Ramirez]

or u could just enjoy it much mmore on a regular computer screen and not waorry about it screwing up ur ipod

[Vigilante]

Epic!
You sooo need to find a new wife that's into that stuff. :p

Good point. Name it something else much more boring and probably less appealing to your nephew? Like..."A Lecture on the Big Bang theory"..har har :D

[ivi7]

"A Lecture on the Big Bang theory"..har har :D

Lolz Kudos

[jce469]

that ish is hilarious. a lot of work to hide the pr0n. just rename the video to something else and then change the album artwork.then rub one out in the bathroom. they need a 3rd party lotion dispenser attachment on the iphone

[Evangelion]

remember to wipe the screen afterwards

[Wild-Bill]

This thread gives new meaning to the word "touch".

[Something4Kate]

remember to wipe the screen afterwards
So, there might be good market for covers for the touch after all!! :D

When I mentioned that the touch could play video on a watchable screen to my mate, filth was the first thing that sprang to his mind. Might try encoding something and calling it rat-a-too-ee :p

Shame you can't choose the thumbnail for movies on the touch :o

Hmmm... That might be an appropriate porn film title! ;)

Reminds me of MacPlaymate. Er, at least that is what I heard! :eek: :)

[savar]

Hmm.. I was wondering what clever uses people might find for apache on ipod.

Any others??

[madmaxmedia]

This could be used to view locally stored PDF's and other files, right? Alternatively, you could hide a lot of porn pic galleries as well... ;)

If so, would you have to create the html file referencing it? Or could you just go to http://127.0.0.1 and see a listing of all files in the directory? (assuming you didn't create an index.html)

I think there is some configurable setting in Apache that determines whether you get a folder listing in the absence of an index page, not sure how to tweak that if necessary.

[cwolves]

I actually use it as apache *gasp* - have php/sql on it and show sites to clients.

And ironically I haven't done (yet) what I suggested in this thread. I did write a file browser for VLC, however (to use the itouch as a remote) that I might port for this general purpose...unless someone can figure out how to play media through finder, which I can't as of yet.

I don't know, I would steal the layout of a iPhone video-based website, I would store those videos on a secret website and I would stream whatever I need when I need it...

[madmaxmedia]

EDIT- Installed BSD Subsystem, all is well-

This is a great way to store local documents (of all types ;)) for viewing. If you don't have an index.html page, the browser will show a directory listing of the folder, including subfolders. So you can organize various documents, etc.

It's amazing how powerful and hobbled (for arguably good reasons) the Touch/iPhone is. We don't have the most rudimentary file level access, yet you can run an Apache server on the unit to get around this. ;)

Ok, I admit, I tried it, but my page displays a grayed out play button with a line through it.

the part that says:

<param value="for the birds.mp4" name="src"/>

did you replace "for the birds.mp4" with the file name, EXACTLY as it is? it's case sensitive.

[BigCanoe]

That did it, there was a typo. How do you get it to play video in landscape?

Nevermind, just rotating the ipod did the trick.

[Chris F]

Idea:

Write a shellscript to start the webserver and create your pr0n page.
The same script with a different command line option can delete said page and shutdown the webserver and nuke the safari history/cache. (in case you forget!)

Then whenever you have the urge you just fire up terminal.app, start your shellscript and off you go.

[seebul]

This is not actually porn related but thought i'd post it in here because its apache related, when i SFTP in to my touch, i there is no folder called webserver in library??

You're probably in /private/var/root/Library...

You need to be in /Library, that's where you'll find the Webserver folder.

[paper]

I want to do this so bad. I can absolutely see the value in being able to access files in this way but i just don't have the technical skill.

2 things how do you "ssh" in and do you put the quotation marks around when coding?

If someone could give an annotated How To, i would really appreciate it.

Also, just to add, my ipod is jailbroken and apache & bsd subsystems are installed.

[loungebob]

I dont care much for the pr0n solution. actually, I dont care if anyone sees my pr0n on my touch. I aint ashamed of nothing at all.

I do care however, and I cant understand that there isn't a huge amount of outrage seen about this, that friggin itunes cripples my pictures.

this thread got me started on an idea and I tried all night but failed more or less miserably.

I tried to use an apple os x shell script to get apache to list all images in directories by producing thumbnails and making them clickable to open for full view. all worked well until I had to install imagemagick.

I wonder if you guys have any ideas related to this. wonder if I could install coppermine or similar (although all of those depend on imagestick too).

basically, I want a photo app like the one installed on the touch, just not having to use itunes (or hack that crapware) so one would have the freedom to select resolutions indexed and synced.

[cwolves]

write a script to resize the photos using IM or similiar off of the touch? I wouldn't want to see the touch try to resize a 6MP image using IM anyway.

Alternatively, why not just show it through safari and let safari do the resizing?

[Wayfarer]

With all this talk about you-know-what...

Was the ipod touch meant for this? :eek:

*cough* *Teee heee heeee hehh*

well, prOn is a billion dollar industry. My guess is dirty Apple wasn't naive to the idea....

[TheSpecialist]

Hahahaha kudo's for this thread. Though it is quite logical. When I told my friends I'm getting a touch the first they they said was:

I bet your using your iPod all day then in bus and classes, watching pr0n in class. Hahah:D They're right thoAnd they joked that I didn't need pr0n on it because I jack of at the Apple logo because I'm such a fanboy hahaha:o Which isn't so, the bastards:p

Anyone devised a better method of viewing hidden images and video? :D

WOW, just friggin amazing. I find this thread to be hilarious, yet, oh crap, my girlfriend is coming....got to go!

I guess you don't have to embed the mp4 in an html file after all-

http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/showpost.php?p=88220&postcount=3

Actually, you don't have to create an html page to get around the file too big error message. Go to /etc/httpd and add a line to mime.types like this:

video/mp4 mp4

Seems to work fine...

[penter]

LOL to that,

And LMAO to this thread!

don't put any porn in your touch.

[mvaj92]

Lol, hilarious thread...

...and just a thought, if you have to look at pr0n, do you need to worry about anybody finding it? ;)

(lol, just messing)

[screwphone]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned just streaming the videos and clearing your cache when you're done.

Anyway, I'm testing out a new app that does exactly the above. Message me here for beta invites.

i keep getting a cross-device link error. running on soft 1.1.3.

yeah, but I'm married :D

Oh well that makes sense! If your wife doesn't put out leave her. ;)

[Halsey12]

I thought if you just named all the files "The Family Guy" then no one would bother watching them.

[krysus]

Well, i've written a php script to do just this...

It's called iphpPod, requires Apache and PHP installed.

It's accessed through Safari, and lets you watch / listen to media without having to transfer it via iTunes.

Support for .mp3, .mp4 and images (bmp, gif, jpg, png). It will even create video thumbnails for your mp4's (providing you install ffmpeg also).

There's an app that lets you hide videos behind a calculator.

Its pretty sweet, check it out at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1757xotJSYM

You can skin the program to look just like the calculator, you can also hide applications. I checked out their website and it looks like the next version will have the ability to hide photos as well (actually you can see the icon for the button they use in the HidePod.app directory This feature isn't available yet, but you can see they must be working on it)

brilliant:cool:

[FrozenOne]

Why would I hide my porn on my iPhone? FapPod.com ftw :cool:

[myphonluvr]

Found another app that can do this on stock iPhone/iPod called Private Pics. Kind of obvious what it is, but does the trick. Doesn't do video since for stock devices.

AppStore link:

[quick5pnt0]

That's a good way to find out if your nephew is smart or not. If he's smart he'll never let on that he found your porn.

I'm surprised nobody made an app for the app store for this exact reason. Of course it would need to be disguised so apple would let it through. I guess you could just use one of the air sharing type apps to hide the files you don't want anyone to find. I think discover let's you password protect certain folders and it's free

[mackmgg]

ok well if your ipod is allready jailbroken, there is an app that u press 8008 in calc and hit enter then watch...

[UKingdom]

any way to do something like this on a NON jailbroken iphone 3g? any programs like airsharing that allow you to password protect files or folders or hide from view?

[Margerie]

exactly, airsharing w/ pw protect should do the trick.

Or just stream it from sites like ipinkvisual.com & delete your history...

thats waaaayyy tooooo much just look at in safari then delete the histroy not that hard haha Cough*youporn*cough :p

The FileAid iPhone app along with DiskAid (free) for the desktop.

This allows you to transfer files with the dock connecter w/o using iTunes. I have used it to transfer some movie trailers from a friends computer when I didn't want to wipe out the videos I already had in iPod app. The videos played well (i was just planning on using it as a USB drive to carry it home)

The videos will only be available if you open the FileAid app and not in iPod and it's just listed by name with no cover art.

I don't know how large a file will transfer but movie trailers worked well.

First of all, I would strongly question whether the subject of this thread even abides by the forum rules. Secondly, I find the idea of wasting such an excellent device on porn, which not only degrades the human mind, but also permanently harms its perception of other humans, as absolutely revolting. And finally, why are you hiding porn? Because you feel guilty about it. And is that not a problem right there? Is not your conscience telling you "I shouldn't be doing this!"?

when im looking at porn my conscience is telling me i want to cum. but thats just me :p

There is no need to hide. I have seen girls watching porn using the computers in the university library. They seemed to enjoy.

[OSXmaniac]

Come on. What will she do to you when she finds out your watching porn? Smack you? I wouldnt bother with any woman that does not accept the basic needs of mankind. Besides, did she notice that we´re living in the 21st century?

Yet again ...... have you got anything to back up this information regarding porn. If what you are saying revolves around a believe system of yours - that's fine but I'd personally prefer some evidence.

Why is he hiding it? Because for some reason society has decided watching people do something beautiful is something to be ashamed of on the other-hand violence is fine - no reason to hide that.

That is a very strange and childish way of looking at things. You have sex with your spouse right? Do you do it in front of your friends or parents? If not, why not? Is it because you feel guilty?

Please get off your high horse. If you don't like the subject please butt out. No need to inject your morality bs at every corner. Nobody is impressed.
