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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

lmao, Ratatouille porn, you have one sick mind!

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

remember to wipe the screen afterwards

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

So, there might be good market for covers for the touch after all!!

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

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

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.

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.

Just a thought:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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