Software:Handy Light

From HandWiki

Handy Light is an iOS application written by Nick Lee; while branded as a "convenient flashlight for the iPhone", the application contains a hidden mode allowing users to use SOCKS proxying to tether their iPhone using a wireless connection.[1] The application was initially approved for sale in the App Store and added on July 20, 2010, but was quickly removed by Apple the same day.[2][3] Apple has similarly disallowed other programs made to allow unsupported network tethering on the iPhone platform to be offered in the App Store.[4]
