this script designed use application "irandomizer numbers" ios tethering app that's still in app store (get while lasts).

while still have connect network, enter wep password, , set static ip address on iphone, script saves lot of time setting mac side.

use:
1. run script
2. connect "tethering" wi-fi network on iphone/ipad
3. enter passcode: 1234567890
4. set static ip address on iphone 13.37.13.37 subnet mask 255.255.255.0
5. finally, run irandomizer numbers (or tethering app of choice)
6. enjoy!

thanks!
