Easy Eircom Wifi Access for iPhone

DESSSID, AN IPHONE app that allows easy access to a large swath of Eircom wifi nodes in my housing estate, is currently the top-selling application in the Irish version of iTunes. It sells for EUR 1.59 and effectively exploits a flaw in the hardware supplied by Eircom. The flaw first appeared in my Nokia newsfeeds from Boards.ie more than a year ago. Unless Eircom customers have changed their out-of-the-box set-up, dessid can generate a password from the network using the unique eight-digit-name that it broadcasts. This app goes a long way towards facilitating free wifi access across the Republic of Ireland, an essential ingredient of digital access to information.
