I was surprised to see this as anyone, more surprised after I read all that had happened with the new World of Warcraft trojan, and realized this is probably the method used to perpetrate the deed. This is a simple tool, it’s the Java program found on most mobile phones, but this also comes with an emulator, which will in turn allow you to use this file on your Windows computer. Sorry Mac, you’re going to have to wait a bit longer.
I myself verified it does work, it will work as a mobile desktop authenticator. Great if you want your own little Core Hound pet. Even though It’s not officially supported on other phones, if you can run the jar file from your java enabled phone, you can use this as an authenticator directly off your phone.

Excuse me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t this succesfully remove the sole purpose of an authentication method like the mobile solution? I mean, the reason for having it on cell phones and authenticator gadgets is that it is an external source, therefore can not be read by trojans and the like.
Any thoughts? A trojan could easily be built to send the authentication key to a server who immediately uses the key. This would not happen with external devices. In my view, this is just taking a working safe solution and converting it to an unsecure one.

Correct me if im wrong but the authenticator displays a picture with the characters (numbers) you have to enter not the text numbers themselves so you still have to type them in manually and i don’t know of a single trojan which can get any useful data from a picture…
