OK, a friend asked me to jump into this thread, but there's really not much content to thrive on:
I've had access to the injection driver for quite some time. It was developed by an unknown person contracted by the guy who is behind NeoPwn. I haven't checked if the driver included in this package is the same as that driver, but considering that it showed up recently, after all the leaks surrounding the NeoPwn project, we can only assume that it is related.
It's quite surprising that if indeed, My_PeSePe is the author of this GPL licensed driver, he did not start by releasing the source code. Also, they are going against the general Maemo guidelines that indicate that it is much more interesting for the community as a whole if application developers release their applications through the Maemo Builders (and hence the proper QA process enforced by the Maemo Extras repositories).
What's even more surprising is that it would appear the author of the driver has violated his contract with NeoPwn. Be as it may, I'm quite sure this is better for the community, but still notable nonetheless.
I will join MohammadAG in requesting the source code as soon as possible for this driver. I have been working on my own driver, based on my findings from reverse engineering the closed-source driver packaged with NeoPwn, but so far my progress has been difficult.
I'm starting to get very tired of all these stupid pre-packaged so called hacking tools. Stop messing around and just post the drivers -- from there, people will be able to develop / port their own tools, and make real progress. I'm going to say the exact same thing that I told the NeoPwn lead: release public, and stop wasting everybody's time.
You are bound by the GPL to release your source code. Please move towards this goal as soon as possible; I'm sure a lot of people will support you.
