iPhone Email Hack for data retrieval

I wanted to send an email I typed in my iphone from a cybercafe without wifi access. I just setup a adhoc wifi network and sshfs the whole file system. For ssh setup, see my previous blog post. I discovered that email are clearly stored in : /private/var/mobile/Library/Mail And emails are stored as .emlx files.

Your router is hiding your local adress and permit the sharing of one single access to the Internet. How is it working? The router uses a technique named NAPT (Network Address Port Translator). NAP ... What? Typically, several computers are linked to one router in a Small or Home Office (SOHO). This router has only one IP address and is providing this single access to the SOHO computers. Let's say that, in fact, SOHO is Pr. John Doe's local network. Pr. John Doe has one nice black and silver brand new laptop featuring a huge hard drive disk and the latest processor.

Sockets

For a software engineer, a socket is a network interface. Programs talking to each other are sharing the same thread. There are two communication modes : connected : Stream Sockets unconnected : Datagram Sockets In connected mode, the excellent quality of transmission is achieved using TCP . Web browsing with HTTP, for example, is actually using TCP. TCP is informationlossless! The information reach the final destination in the original order and no data is lost. The protocol used by Datagram Sockets is UDP. A packet retrieving information must be implemented.
