Hmmmm...
Admitted gold seller, and rule breaker wants me to go download a .zip file with his name on it and place it on my PC to allegedly "get around" using a LEGAL AUTHORIZED mobile authenticator ? After referencing that this same "setup" is already on other "hacking websites" ?

I don't really see the point of this, and it seems to defeat the purpose of an authenticator which is to require a separate device to access your WoW account to make it more secure?
So sure I could put this on a USB key or whatever but surely it is just as easy to use my mobile phone? Its free on iOS and Droid anyway?
Glad you had fun doing it I guess - find all the windup and your million e-mail addresses at the top of the post quite amusing. Classic overachiever if I ever saw one.
yes it was amusing i thought as well.Originally Posted by Slats

I never understood why people would use several email addresses for the same crowd.
i mean, i have several, but they are used for different purposes.

They aren't e-mail addresses >_>
You read too much into things. And all the files other than the megaupload is from google >_> If you don't want to use that one then find your own 1.5 firmware.

If you're gona screw with my sig at least leave the thing bolded :P
ah, sorry about that, but with the @, the dot and the fact that the links point to a 'mailto:' url and therefore open in outlook, one can easily assume that they are email addresses.
but i guess the forums adds that formatting whenever we type an email address looking link.

Some people don't have a phone that can run the authenticator (you'd be surprised that there are actually still people out there that use their phone just to make calls, and as long as it works they don't find the need to update it to an insecure smartphone), they either don't own a creditcard or don't want to use it; ..; or they live not in the US (there are actually people living outside the US!!!) and thus have not access to physically buy an authenticator in their wall mart.
For these kind of special breed, this solution comes in pretty handy, the more if they have for example an extra computer that never runs wow to use as an authenticator.
Everything that is fun in life is either bad for your health, immoral or illegal!
What prevents this from running on a 2.2 version of android? the inability to access the marketplace?
That doesn't prevent it. You need to use ADB to install the program and need the battl.net.apx in order to do it. If you want the .apx let me know.

EDIT: Thank you Shodokan. I found the post helpful and interesting. Definitely a lot of work here. /kudos
just a note about what I had and what finally made me get an actual authenticator instead of the mobile app.
This may or may not apply to what Shodokan posted but I think it is useful..
If you have a mobile authenticator on your phone and wipe out the phone (or reinstall) and choose not to restore your previous applications... when you get the battle.net authenticator again (not from your backup but from itunes or the marketplace) the key will be different and you will not have access to your accounts. You'll have to petition blizzard to remove your authenticator so you can access your accounts (fax or email in photo ID and some other information to verify you are the account owner).
So only use this method if you are going to backup and/or have this available in case of a hard drive failure or phone failure. If you don't have a backup you won't get to your accounts. I know this from experience and I was bummed to not have my accounts for two weeks.
The behavior would be exactly like losing your physical authenticator... so just be sure you backup your phone or mobile app stuff in case of failure.
