Thanks for the reply, I edited my post. The who is was limited and the other company (gov contractor) has the exact same name as your company minus the "professional" in front of the rest of the name. I apologize.

I don't want to get into it but when you sit at home and see some of the Internet traffic coming and going from your box that I have seen, even last night, you start not trusting anyone. UDP ports opening to places I don't even want to talk about, etc. While I in theory have nothing to worry about, it's gotten so out of control with things happening that I ready to move to a cabin in the woods. I am not some paranoid wack job despite how crazy I must sound, I have traced traffic and connections to servers that didn't even try and hide who they were and when you see that it's enough to make anyone start questioning things.

I too hope this new year is less stressful. If my firewall stops showing certain IPs from certain places trying to connect to it, I think it may be possible. One would hope.

Anyway sorry for the accusation and thank you for a well made app. Will buy premium and hopefully will not be seeing anymore unwanted, unwarranted, and unnecessary traffic.

Not sure who is worse at this point, Google or them... Both seem to love connecting to my stuff. Yesterday Google Play Services turned on my camera for no reason, was notified via Greenify that it was started remotely. I am not crazy; just really tired of the nonsense.

Sorry man, again I apologize.
[Android Apps and Games] xdakewie:
Just wondering how is the new app coming along? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
Sorry, it's still not ready for release, but looks promising :)
[Android Apps and Games] bladehawk:
I keep getting google account services connecting to 0.0.0.0. I checked my hosts file and that s not it. Any idea why im getting these?

I can't even figure out what app it's attached to.
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
0.0.0.0 is loopback connection. Take a look at the "Current Connections" tab to see the state (next to the protocol on the right corner). If the state is LISTEN, this means there's an open port listening for connections on the loopback.
[Android Apps and Games] bladehawk:
"UDP6 Close", any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
What's the port number after the 0.0.0.0: ?
[Android Apps and Games] bladehawk:
There isn't one.
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
It's strange to have all these without a LISTEN one to 0.0.0.0

Just tested on stock Nexus 5, and I don't see such connections.

However, they should be from Google Play services - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms
[Android Apps and Games] bladehawk:
I'm seeing them with a "UDP6 Close" status now. Am I seeing closed UDP connections because I'm on a TCP/IP only network? Why would connection keeper display it as an active connection?

https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2651367?hl=en

Says it needs UDP on port 5228, but resolving to 0.0.0.0 seems really odd. The TCP/IP connections resolve to an IP. Does anyone have any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] roydest:
I think 0.0.0.0 is a "wildcard" and stands for any ip-adress/ anywhere (any destination) Google Play Services could be connected to

Gift away period already ended, so the link is invalid by now.
[Android Apps and Games] gohamstergo:
Ah, OP should probably remove link then ;)
[Android Apps and Games] MidnightDevil:
Thanks, seems more complete than netstat :)
[Android Apps and Games] bladehawk:
Why can't it list the IP's or give a clear indication of what 0.0.0.0 means.
[Android Apps and Games] roydest:
That is not so easy to answer, there are several possibilities to use 0.0.0.0.

TCP/IP software applications use 0.0.0.0 as a programming technique to monitor network traffic from any valid IP address. This can be useful in cases where a single host name may resolve to several IP addresses, so the program does not need to specify all addresses. However, it is theoretically possible (why that was made here, I can not say, perhaps for reasons of space) ! Ultimately you have to ask the developer...

Other options (info):

-While connected computers do not use this address, messages carried over IP sometimes include 0.0.0.0 inside the header when the source of the message is unknown.

-The IP address 0.0.0.0 is used for the host that is not put into use after startup

-The source IP address is 0.0.0.0, since the client does not have a configured IP address.
[Android Apps and Games] TommyDN:
Thanks, this could come in handy.
[Android Apps and Games] xdakewie:
Bought the key and it works as advertised ("LICENSE - Google Play") ;)

Just wondering... is it possible to terminate a particular connection? I think that would be quite a handy feature & would make your app stand out among its competitors.

-------------------

Live Capture only good for the last 2-3 minutes.

I started Live Capture to see whether an app was connecting to the Net. I was in the app for 5 minutes, then exited it and returned to Live Capture, but it only showed the last 2-3 minutes!

Please check it, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
Thank you! I'm working on a plugin that will we able to cut specific connections but unfortunately it's still not ready.

There's no reason the live capture to work only for the last 3 minutes, but I'll check that further. Thank you !
[Android Apps and Games] HunkyMinik:
Suggestion

I think it would be better if there's an option where it could show a semi transparent window on top of apps so that you could actually track whats happening while you do something. Maybe just show connection for a number of secs and fade out. Hihi.

Just saying.

Thanks though
[Android Apps and Games] nikhilgeo:
How is Logs stored..?

Hi thanks for the great app, sad that I found this late and missed the key give away...

I'm on my task to create a similar application, I like to store all the network connections as logs and process them later for reports.

I was wondering how you are storing the logs of capture, are you using files or sqlite.

please pardon my ignorance...I'm a newbie to android.
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
Hi. Is totally up to you. I'm storing them at sqlite (for easier post processing).

Good luck with your app! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] nikhilgeo:
Thanks.....
[Android Apps and Games] ChingghisKhan:
I tried to get the Special Unlock Key for XDA Developer but it says that it is not available in my country.

Any other way to get it?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
No, I'm sorry, the key was available only on the initial release of the app.
[Android Apps and Games] ChingghisKhan:
Unlock key at Amazon

Thanks for the fast reply.

Since I am in Mongolia, I can't buy anything from Google Play but luckily I found it on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/6th-Corner-Lt...r=1-1&keywords=Network+Connections+unlock+key

I downloaded the free app and purchased the unlock key on Amazon, both never showed up and neither the DEV nor Amazon can help.

Amazon App Store has many bugs, sometimes apps show up in your account but you can't download them.
[Android Apps and Games] dustintinsley:
I have an app that apparently downloads a config file at every startup. will this allow me to determine exactly what file is being fetched from the net to inspect it?
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
With the app you can get the server IP but not the exact URL. In order to get the exact URL you should intercept the traffic between your device and the internet. Wireshark or Fiddler (Windows) can help you with this.
[Android Apps and Games] dustintinsley:
Thanks, will give those a try....
[Android Apps and Games] ChingghisKhan:
You can use a packet sniffer like tPacketCapture on your Droid itself.
[Android Apps and Games] Icetea:
Why it is not possible to autostart this app in "live capturing mode"? I want to reboot my phone daily but with restarting logging my traffic! It seems to be impossible. Any suggestions?

or is it possible to use Tasker app for this automation?
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
Hm, that's interesting, but unfortunately I don't think that Tasker can help in this case.
[Android Apps and Games] Icetea:
:crying: ok i ’m able to start NC with tasker now but unfortunately not with starting the live capture option!:p

BTW: a auto save option for saving the log every x hour would be nice too!

But i saw the date of last updating the app to play store and the development seems to be discontinued.

So i have paid ~ 4€ and cannot use this app as i would like to do:((outdated:))
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
It's not discountinued, but currently I don't think that this would be an useful option to implement, especially when the app will need the Boot on start permissions in order to do that. Since you cannot use it, please contact support@antispymobile.com with your order number for refund :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Icetea:
thank you for this generous offer, but my answer is no. I don’t want to get back my money.

i know that the tail could not be able to waggle with the dog, but if you want to be my hero, you can insert a possibility to switch live logging with tasker.

thanks in advance ;)

BTW: what’s about the possibility to save this log automatically?:fingers-crossed: also not necessary?
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
During the capture mode the log is stored in a DB and you can export in later when you want (e.g it is saved automatically)
[Android Apps and Games] Icetea:
thx!

Now i miss only the automatic (maybe external with tasker) switch as a new setup option to start live logging;)

’Hope dies last’:fingers-crossed:

[Android Apps and Games] player911:
I use a firewall and look at the logs.
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
What kind of firewall do you have? Some ad-blockers and firewalls are acting like local VPN servers and re-route all the traffic to "localhost 0.0.0.0" on order to filter the traffic, so I guess this is the issue?
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
Can you please try the latest version - 1.1.1 and let me know if the problem persists: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3631265&d=1454420482

If everything's good, I'll update the Google Play version.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] :
Just tried it, and whatever change you made works. I must say I thought this app was not being updated anymore since it has an older look to it so I am glad you are still working on it, this is a very handy app for auditing network activity/connections/apps

thanks!! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] Jake285:
I have some lite activity monitor on my phone and i can see that every time my screen is locked, there's tons of data passing by. This was exactly the product i was looking for to identify the connections, I also downloaded the 1.1.1 from your link.

I also downloaded your Anti Spy and it shows some malicious programs like Flickr and swiftkey lol, 2nd. is known to sold to microsoft so thats probably the reason :D I'll buy the pro just to support you. And I'll uninstall swiftkey anyways, i hate Microsoft policies. I don't want my keyboard to sync anything online ffs.

fossbytes. seems like no links for me com/heres-why-a-user-got-irritated-by-windows-10-and-installed-linux-mint/

After installing Linux Mint and installing Windows 10 Enterprise on Virtualbox, he disabled all the tracking options. As the next step, he configured his DD-WRT router to drop and log all connection attempts via iptables by Windows 10 operating system.

In his Vote submission, ChessusCrust writes that he let the operating system run on its own for about 8 hours. After waking up, he used Perl to pull the data and pushed it into a MySQL database. The results were very surprising.

He reported about 5508 connection attempts from the unused and clean install of Windows 10 operating system. Out of those, 3967 connection attempts were made to 51 different Microsoft IP addresses.

Huge THANKS

[MENTION=3778453]pandata000[/MENTION]

It is a pity that you have chosen to sell the key only on Google Play. Those who do not have the Google Apps cannot buy the key. Can you think to make possible to acquire the key on your website ? ... once :laugh:

Is there a way to see the friendly names of the connections rather than the ipv6 address stuff?
[Android Apps and Games] ElTron:
I think this app (Network Connections ) doesn't work in Android 10, does it????
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
Google has cut the access to the kernel /proc files in Android 10, so it cannot work.
[Android Apps and Games] ElTron:
Thanks

I feared about it. It is obvious that Google doesn't want we know which connections are active in our mobile.
[Android Apps and Games] kai-row:
Hi, as I really liked your app and now as well are on android 10. Couldn't you change your app that it would use root? I guess then it would have to work again - right?
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
Thank you kai-row! Actually, I'm already working on solution with *root, however it requires more changes than I expected to make the actual process that captures the data to be executed as *root.
[Android Apps and Games] kai-row:
Great, really appreciated! Will you provide it via Google Play Store when ready?
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
I'll probably release it here first.
[Android Apps and Games] magaitismo:
Non root option

Hi, for non root users would it make sense to try channel all connections through a VPN or so under your control so you could easily look at network connections?

it would be great to have a non-root option anyway. if you could partner with an existing vpn company it would be great, but i guess you could create a solution where it would be free for a few minutes and then have a payment to allow monitoring for longer time.

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
I've just released a beta v.1.5.0 (see post description) that should work with Root (SuperSU and Magisk).

Feedback is appreciated from all that want to test. You need to have a rooted Android 10+ device for tests.
[Android Apps and Games] kai-row:
Hi pandata,

at a first glance all seems to work. I had created a simple tasker task (running netstat in a loop) which shows the same.

Your app is of cource nicer. I'll use it from now on. Any issue I'll report here.

Many thanks
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
Thank you kai! Can you please share which root method you use? I have tested on Magisk root, and want to make sure that it works with SuperSU (or any others if available).
[Android Apps and Games] kai-row:
Hi, I am using Magisk.
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
Thanks! I hope someone with SuperSU to test too :)
[Android Apps and Games] veekay:
No luck with the latest version working on A10. Rooted with Magisk, but no logging starts. Tried on both of my phones.
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
Please ensure that you have version 1.5.0

Also, in Magisk Manager, please check whether the app has granted root permissions (the shield icon).
[Android Apps and Games] veekay:
It is that version and has root permissions. Tried it on my tablet running 10 and it also doesn't work
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
It's strange, as you are the first one that reports not working on Android 10. Do you have other apps that are using the Magisk Root? I have doubts that there's something with the root.
[Android Apps and Games] veekay:
All other rooted apps are working. I even removed the app and downloaded it fresh
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
When you did a fresh install, did it ask you to grant ROOT permissions at the start?
[Android Apps and Games] veekay:
Yes it did. Just tried again to make sure. Once in the app it only sits on the waiting for connections. Live capture does nothing.
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
If it stays on "Waiting for connections", it means that it cannot read from the proc kernel files. But it's weird. Unfortunately, I cannot help without having more information, probably an "adb logcat" during the app start will shed some light what happens exactly.
[Android Apps and Games] veekay:
See if this helps. This is from right before running the app - running the app and starting live logging

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KD-oAfmvTDmaj2ijP1R26HDH9Rv4zbpe/view?usp=sharing
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
Thank you for making that logcat! Unfortunately, I don't see any traces that the app has started at all It should have something similar to that line:

... ActivityTaskManager: START u0 {act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] flg=0x10200000 cmp=com.antispycell.connmonitor/.ConnectionMonitorActivity bnds=[584,285][856,650]} from uid 10099

btw., I see a lot of traces from Connection Tracker - which is another app not made but us. Did you run it instead of Network Connections ?

That is odd. The only other thing I have running is AFWall. I have never even had an app called Connection Tracker.

Just made another logcat - made sure to open - kill - open the app twice. Still no reference in the log. Anything else to try?

I'm just using adb logcat -d > logcat.txt, so maybe it isn't capturing everything?

After long time they succeed to block people look what the phone is doing by it self.

On Android 12 this good app doesn't work anymore. (rooted phone)

There is an alternative solution for monitor those connections ?

EDIT:

Found a solution! PCAPdroid . SDK31 work on Android 12 ! Ok is not direct and use a virtual VPN... it do the job.

I can finally stomp all the trashy apps that work in background without my consent. (or any consent in general)

PCAPdroid | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

No-root network monitor and traffic dump tool for Android devices

f-droid.org

PCAPdroid is an open source app which lets you monitor and export the network traffic of your device. The app simulates a VPN to achieve non-root capture but, contrary to a VPN, the traffic is processed locally into the device.

First of all codefirexperiment (CFXE) have a function switch named AOSP mode, that will simply give you a pure AOSP rom, and if you switch back all settings comes back.

2nd. i get why you would like Dirac, but thats not going to happend unless its directly ported as those beats audio are. So in cfxe, there will never be dirac or dolby, but you will have your google edition rom :)
