[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRiOT:
(first off sorry for my bad grammar)

Please read the whole post before answering!!

Do to recent events, and after many hours of searching without any useful result, I decided to try making a simple app which instantly deletes/wipes all the data (without any prompt or warning) on your phone (e.g. if your phone gets stolen or you get mugged and you had much sensitive data on it.), formats everything or even messes up the whole device (so the thief can't use it anymore).

But my question is, is something like this even possible?

1. Is it possible to initiate formatiing/wiping with the Android SDK or something else?

2. Is it possible to make an app which can't simply be deleted or still remains after flashing the device?

3.Is it possible to remotely "push" the app on your phone and execute it? (I'm thinking about installing it via the Google Play website and setting the trigger (?) for starting the app on every possible event to instantly delete everything??

4. I guess this needs at least Superuser-rights..?

5. Maybe "we" could start with just automatic and instant ext.-SD card fortmatting?

Another idea is to have two apps:

one which is installed and allowed by the superuser-thingy to execute the wipe

and another one which you can remotely download or "push" via web and doesn't need Superuser-rights, whichs triggers the first app to start wiping so the thief can't deny the superuser promt..

I think this would really help and would've helped me a lot because there are only a few apps like this but afaik they all need a SMS to be triggered but what if the thief takes out/swaps the SIM card?

In my opinion android would seriously need an app like this.

If ur device mfg is samsung Plz read about samsungdive ...i can remote lock .remote wipe .remote location of ur device ...... Search in google or xda samsungdive.com

Check ur setting >location and security .. Hare u find remote control
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRiOT:
yea I know samsungdive but as far as I know it doesn't remain after flashing and I think you can't install if you have a custom rom.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheJH:
Is it possible to use a custom kernel on the defy even though it has a locked bootloader? As it is possible to load custom kernel modules which will then run in supervisor mode, it should be possible to write a kernel module that copies itself at the end of RAM, disables all interrupts so that execution doesn't jump out of the module, jumps into its own copy at the end of the RAM, loads another kernel into the start of the RAM and jumps into it, right?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hsrars-d:
defy cant run custom build kernels because of the bootloader..

but AFAIK you should be able to compile and load modules outside the kernel or something, i would really like USB host mode on defy, maybe someone skilled enough can try it??
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheJH:
Uh, did you even read my post? I'm suggesting to first let the bootloader load the stock kernel, then let the init process load a kernel module that loads another kernel and jumps into it. No need to touch the bootloader, you'd simply put another bootloader into a kernel module.

I have a linux machine and there are barely 1-2 screenshot app that works but needs a windows software and all that. Is there any which works if i have a linux pc? I am on a unrooted A2

[Motorola Atrix 2] KEB64:
The Android developer tools will work. Eclipse + SDK etc. Once you get your computer to see your phone using ADB, then use the Eclipse App.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
DDMS.bat in the android-sdk... thanks to cogeary for pointing that out to me! Though, not sure if that will work with out root.. Can you get your device recognized by adb? If so, then it should work..
[Motorola Atrix 2] X-jo:
installing adb first.. how to go about using eclipse? noob here
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Which distro are you using, X-jo? Not that it has anything to do with anything, other than the fact that I installed Ubuntu 12.04 yesterday and need to install Android adb/sdk as well, and I'm just curious. :D (following this thread, by the way!)
[Motorola Atrix 2] X-jo:
Linux Mint 12. Installed adb, now updating it via

tools/android update sdk --no-ui
[Motorola Atrix 2] bedman3:
Menu+power
[Motorola Atrix 2] KEB64:
Okay it's been a while since I set this up so my memory isn't that fresh. Hopefully someone can fill in the blanks. Once your linux box is setup to see your phone via ADB (you need to install a small file in a directory) then I use terminal to connect. see screenshot below

Then open up Eclipse. On the far right hand side there is an icon of a camera under Devices tab. That's your screenshot app. Works great. Move your phone's screen and click refresh for multiple screenshots. Oh and by the way, you do not need root for this.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
This works for any distro, I'm guessing? I'll need this for Ubuntu 12.04 at some point I bet...
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yes, you just need the sdk and eclipse, thay work on any distro.

Hi all,

I've been using the PadFone since the release date. After the new update (9.18.8.41) I noticed the PadFone starts heating up when playing games (any game), with other applications it'll be fine.

Is anyone else having this problem too? Trying to narrow down if it's just my device or the update.

Cheers
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amtzone:
is it before the update..the device not heating up?or u did not notice it?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avngr:
It was not heating up before the update. I played let say Big Win Soccer before the update it was fine. After the update playing it will overheat the phone causing it to switch itself off.

I destroy phones for the sake of development. I'm not complaining cuz its fun as hell!!s but can I get a zip file man! I got a daytime job too! Hahahaha
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
Use root explorer and move the playstore.apk (usually called vending I believe) to /system/app and its essentially the same thing as flashing a gapps.zip with only play store.

Or you could get gapps.zip, unzip and delete everything under /system/app except the market app and rezip then flash. Do not touch META-INF
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BillGoss:
1. Use a file explorer (eg ES File Explorer) to look at any other zip file to understand how things work.

2. Edit updater-script to do what you want

3. Add your files

4. Zip the top level folders (system, meta-inf) with file explorer.

5. Sign the zip file with zipsigner

6. Flash zip.

Really happy with JJ Hybrid kernel, it's the best all all worlds, everything works, and it seems less bloaty than the stock ICS.

However having trouble trying to find a good kernel for it.

Tried loads of custom ones, and they all have problems. Some never go into Deep Sleep, some are pegged 1Ghz (arc) rather than 1.4Ghz Arc S speeds, and so feel really sluggish.

I have ICS beta at the moment, it works, but it's old (dated March 2nd 2012). Is there not a ICS final stock kernel?

[Android Apps and Games] Aircondition:
That looks great. I hope you release the source code for it too.

Here is my modded version. As you see I've updated to UI for it and removed unnecessary code. The icon you are using looks great, the DroidSheep icon is so ugly so I removed it, even the Android default icon is more beautiful. Instead of using WebKit I use the default browser (Chrome) cause it's much more faster and easier to navigate on. I really like the bottom bar in your browser, looks great. For me Google isn't working cause it NEVER wants to use non-SSL.

Something that would be great is support for SSLStrip. FaceNiff has it but it costs money. I've been trying to get it working by using APK Manager & dex2jar/JD-GUI without any success. The C/C++ files aren't included in the apk. :(

I've been trying to change the name from DroidSheep but I had so many problems so I just skipped it. It's easy to change the name in the GUI but going through all source files and replacing everything is a bit harder. ;)

The app is a little buggy cause sometmies it captures the logins but not every time. I'm going to investigate the included C/C++ files and see if there are any filters and how everything works.

Hello, why you not integrate a wpa calculator? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] xDragonZ:
Thanks for your reply, I think I will try work on the SSLStrip and add DroidSniff the ability to target a specific IP address.

Nice you implemented it to use the default browser (Chrome) Gonna figure out how to do that when i'm free.

Yea, need to disable the SSL so that we can get the Google cookies. On my computer Google.com loads without SSL but with my laptop it automatically use SSL.

Changing the name is quite easy. :laugh:

Coming Soon :fingers-crossed:

Do mean WPA Alice Calculator?

Dang my phone was off and this post made me turn it on and then..no link. -_-

Great job though, looks a lot better than Droid SHEEP
[Android Apps and Games] :
This is great, I have used droidsheep and facesniff for my job and now facesniff does not work with 4.x and droidsheep has some leaks and is never updated anymore also the latest source wont compile without some tweaks and messing about.

Looking forward to your app. If you make a donate version I will gladly donate to support further development and no ads :)

SSL strip implementation would be useful as I have compiled SSLStrip for android but it crashes often, if you figure out how to get it stable then good on ya! :D

thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Aircondition:
The most important feature is definitely SSL support. Just Google "SSLStrip-for-Android" and you will find the source code for it running on Android. It shouldn't be hard to implement cause DroidSheep is based on Arpspoof which is also included in this project. There is also an app you can test on Google Play but it seems to only work with USB tethering from your phone to PC.

Using the default browser is much faster. Here is how you do it:

str1 stands for the url (eg; facebook.com)

str2 stands for the cookies content (eg; for facebook you have to use the "c_user" cookie, dont have any clue why DroidSheep is also using the datr, lu, and xs cookies, it just makes it slower to initialize cookies)

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setData(Uri.parse("http://" + str1 + ":8080/" + str1 + "@" + str2));
startActivity(i);

Here is the de-compiled version of FaceNiff. Nothing new here, the "faceniff" which contains the SSLStrip library is already compiled and the sources for it is not included in the project. :(

So you don't think we know what FaceNiff is? It costs money that's the only bad thing and DroidSheep is free and open source but without support for SSLStrip.
[Android Apps and Games] fatcobrah:
nice i like it :)

it will be amazing when u add

1-sslstrip with auto save (user + password)

2- open sniffed profiles in the stock browser

3-screenshot to sniffed profile

4-auto save cookies

and this can help u

http://comax.fr/yamas/bt5/yamas.sh
[Android Apps and Games] Aircondition:
The script I posted on the first page was taken from FaceNiff and after some research it seems like it's forwarding all traffic to port 8080 where it's doing the SSL spoofing and enables opening sessions in the default browser (running through the proxy server). When you click on a profile in FaceNiff it will open "http://facebook.com:8080/facebook.com@SESSION_IDENTIFIER" and the binary will return a response which will set the cookies and rederict the user to the normal Facebook website. It was working when I tested it but then I realized the FaceNiff app was running on my Android, I stopped it and it didnt work anymore.

As fatcobrah said most important is SSLStrip as most websites are forcing users to use SSL and open profiles in the default browser cause it's much easier to navigate in, you can zoom in/out and it has a very fast Javascript engine (at least in Chrome). Improved filters to capture more websites would also be great and grabbing the users Facebook picture like in FaceNiff is also very useful.

Also found this string inside the faceniff binary "all your passwords are belong to Us!. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] rirozizo:
btw ARP-spoofing is kinda slow. i mean, having your cellphone work as an "inbetween" router dramatically slows down the connection. i've hacked my bother's account (nothing bad, just posted a "you've been hacked" status). and now everytime the internet slows down, he suspects i'm trying to hack him.

so when you make you AWESOME app, please try making the ARP-spoofing faster.

———————————————————

i didn't mean to mock you or to offend you in any kind of way
[Android Apps and Games] xDragonZ:
Nice , I also plan to try that SSLStrip that ported by crazyricky. Hope that it works.

Thanks for the suggestion. :)

Yea, agree, and I also found out that the port 8080 will not work unless you start a background service to do the forwarding job like FaceNiff does.

I also looked at faceniff binary and it contain some interesting string. I think when I back home I will try to do that like FaceNiff does.

This is because of limited bandwidth and processing power of most Android devices, there might be bandwidth problems in networks with a lot of traffic. This might lead to problems and slow connections for the whole network.
