Summary

0000815: iPhone 3.0 / iPod touch Captive Portal Network Support User Agents

Description

Noticed a lot of Users Agents of the type

CaptiveNetworkSupport-94.1 wispr
CaptiveNetworkSupport/1.0 wispr
etc.

A little googling releaved:
http://forums.mactalk.com.au/31/66812-iphone-3-0-wireless-captive-portal-support.html [^]

We should look if we want to ban these User Agent strings at the httpd level, use them to detect iPhones / iPods or leverage their goal.

To know this we'll have to investigate at what this does exactly.

(0001356) obilodeau (reporter) 2009-10-21 13:13	triage: not urgent, rescheduling

(0001418) obilodeau (reporter) 2009-11-30 14:58	another thing that we can try to detect: http://remote-exploit.blogspot.com/2009/07/iusability-pwned.html [^]

(0001453) obilodeau (reporter) 2010-01-08 11:40	Those ipods things are certainly not behaving in a friendly manner on our captive portal. In some cases, a few hundred hits by this CaptiveNetworkSupport useragent on our captive portal over a 3 minute period. This, combined with the slowness of our user web pages, creates a situation where the server is unusually loaded. Increasing priority.
