iOTP and more

Hi,

I haven't written here for quite a time. I'll post now a few stuff I've written over the time:

  1. iOTP — I like this one. I study in the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, and we have a one-time-password thing for logging in to the University servers and stuff like that. The bad thing is that the application which generates these OTPs is a Java applet for Nokia phones. The only other option for getting OTPs is by logging into a website and getting an SMS with the next 5 OTPs.

    A nice guy reversed this OTP generator to a Python script.

    I wrote an app this week which generates these OTPs right on your iPhone.

    The sources are available here, and there are some screenshots: (1), (2).
    Of course I don't have $100 to spare, so you can install it only on Jailbroken iPhones, by connecting to a Cydia repository I created on: http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~brick/cydia http://cydia.myrepospace.com/brick/.

  2. Another couple of scripts for Messenger Plus:
    MessengerLastFM — this sets your personal message according to your now playing track on last.fm. You can get it here.

    MessengerRefetchDPs — this refetches your contacts' display pictures when they log in. I made this because somehow mine stopped refreshing :S. You can get it here.

Cheers,
Tomer

It's very complicated without setting up a repo.
I'll put up another server this week.
Email me at tomer.harpaz at gmail and I'll notify you when it's up.
