FREE iOS 5 iPhone, iPad Tethering App: QuasiDisk Appears With No Jailbreak Required!

Thought it’s now been pulled from the store, we’d still like to give you a little recap on what went down on the FREE  tethering front yesterday. Just like before, QuasiDisk pretended to be something else and turned out to be a tethering app through proxy.

“QuasiDisk is a simple file manager and file viewer allowing you to take any of your files, photos, documents with you on the go. You can add files to QuasiDisk over USB from iTunes File Sharing, over WiFi via a built in FTP server, or sync files with your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac over iCloud. It’s fast, simple, and efficient.”

So that quoted description was from their iTunes app description. Sure enough, the jailbreak community got wind of it. A lot of people downloaded the app, and if you’re one of the few who couldn’t figure out its ins and outs. Click play on the video above.

You can also follow these instructions from a 9to5Mac [1] commenter:

1. Create adhoc network on Laptop
2. Turn off WIFI on iPhone
3. Get IP address from whatsmyip.net
4. Turn on WIFI on iPhone, connect to laptop adhoc network
5. Write down server name from QuasiDisk, then enter port 5100
6. Setup laptop network to use proxy… server address is the server name from QuasiDisk,

Let’s say your server name in QuasiDisk was: ftp://myiphone.local:5100

For your proxy servers, you’ll use: myiphone.local (leave off the ftp:// and the 5100)
For the proxy server ports, use 6666 for the http proxy, and 5050 for the socks proxy.

If you plan to browse secure sites that use https, you’ll want to turn on that proxy as well, setup just like the http proxy using port 6666.

Also remember: QuasiDisk must remain running.
And be sure to uncheck your proxy settings when switching back to a different WIFI network.

And no, don’t even try to ask for the ipa because you won’t find it here. Good luck next time as I’m sure another tethering app will slip Apple’s approval officers :)
