[Privacy] Protection For Advanced Android Users (2015 And Beyond:What You Did...

Wearable tech can get your health data: pulse, blood sugar level, kidneys and heart condition, even mental condition (rush, anxiety, sleeping disorders). Imagine this data accessible in wrong hands: wars could be won or lost without a single bullet. Cyber warfare is the next sensation.

About the project: I need the hardware people in one place, but the software guys can be from anywhere in the world. The prototype needs to be finished and the cash sharing is the last thing that comes only after the startup of serial production. Problem is that all people who would like to participate hold the first question: "What's my share after we're done?" I need people with a vision, money will come but I can't work with people who only got money on their minds. It is stressful, time-consuming and frustrating.

Edit: here is another project similar to mine: https://hackaday.io/post/16001

Understand what you mean about people only interested in money. This is probably a good site to find software people that are not that way as a lot of software on this site is made from passion and free. that would be frustrating i can see. Im gonna be without internet for at least a couple days. See you after that. hopefully sooner than later. New houses i always have bad luck with wifi hookup. Hope its different this time.

There are tons of onion links regarding privacy, but you need Tor or Vidalia to access them. Hidden wiki is a good reference.

[MENTION=1007992]everyone[/MENTION] be careful on what links u click there or use a limited hidden wiki to avoid some majorly disgusting or illegal links haha

nice one!
[General Topics] Ev0luti0n_:
Where could i find those hidden links and wiki?
[General Topics] ZipAddict:
there are several ways, but they are on deep internet so not accessible with normal search. when i did it on phone i used "orbot" app for tor and "orweb" app for tor browser and then used "duckduckgo" for searching "hidden wiki" and onion links are there. there may be better way to do it but thats what i did. basically u need tor and a tor enabled browser. the browser has no history or back button or java so it can b frustrating at first. and be careful because anyone surfing dark net is subject to surveillance because many links exist to extremely illegal subjects and products, and might use abbreviations to try to hide the nature of the site,so dont just click on anything or u could get in trouble. do at ur own risk

Duckduckgo is better than google because there is no predicted entries, spying or search history, nobody keeps track of your searching habits or anything else.
[General Topics] mrrocketdog:
so just so i'm clear (old guy here , not real computer/internet savvy ; YET!!) use duckduck with tor ?. ty :thumbup: thats what i'm looking for.:good:

"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
[General Topics] ZipAddict:
yes [MENTION=6383270]LoneWolfSK[/MENTION] is right. duckduckgo is best bet as far as what i have experienced whether using tor or not. it may not net as many search results as google, but it will grow as we support and use it and it is much more private. even though we are not up to anything bad, our info is still valuable and used to profile us and make companies money. and anyone who says they have nothing to hide is lying or plain ignorant. a great response to their statement is, "ok if u have nothing to hide, then please give me all your login passwords, bank acct info, pictures, videos, family members social security #'s, etc, since u dont care about privacy lol!" i bet they will eat their words then! and thanks for nice words about me being done moving and getting wifi back! my back is still healing lol!

I could be onto something big, because I tried using ready-made routines from Google and Android & combine them with Tor's privacy. Couldn't get it to combine yet, but I made a triangular scheme:

Search querry -> Tor -> Google -> encrypting search results via Tor and getting it back to end-users

This scheme could be the answer, if the routines and protocols are not patented, copyrighted or unexploitable via third-party software. We'll see :)
[General Topics] ZipAddict:
thats crap that u got banned. im sorry. u didnt do anything wrong. privacy software is not wrong or illegal the way u r describing it and thats a fact. im really excited about this new idea u have! u r very smart and im proud of u for standing up for our rights. companies are doing illegal things left and right to steal our info and its important for people to combat this in a legal way while we still can. time is quickly running out for people like me that cannot accomplish these tasks by ourselves. your voice is very important to many people, even if they have no idea that they need you so badly. keep up the good work friend, it is very important to our future! not enough words to say how appreciative i am of heroes like u that have the knowledge to do something about these situations!

ran out of thanks today. more coming tomorrow for u guys.

i must add for anyone just tuning in, that most of the topics/software discussed here are for advanced users only and are for personal use and penetration testing on your own devices only for the sake of strengthening personal privacy. messing around with things without doing research first, or improper use can lead to fines, jail time, nasty hidden viruses, enhanced government surveillance, hacking attempts, or worse. so please do your homework first and decide if it is right for your particular privacy needs first and as always use at your own risk.

with that being said, we are accumulating quite a bit of interesting information/links here which can be very useful for protecting your privacy and expanding your minds, and this is exciting for me! i hope more people can open up to the reality that exists beyond waking up. going to work, not asking any questions about whats going on in the world, and going to bed day after day after day not caring about their future and the future beyond their lives. Wake up!

Latest privacy data breach left 5.6 million people's fingerprints in the wrong hands after the hackers penetrated the USA databases in New York:

[General Topics] ZipAddict:
nice!

but everyone thinks its so cool to unlock their phone with fingerprint. they are next victims. like i said in OP, thats all they need to do is plant ur fingerprint at crime scene and say u were the one who did it. Case closed, the media is happy, and everyone snuggles up in bed and feels all warm and safe. sickening

here is a really cool video segment related to biometric security...

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BXzSn8DPDNM

the whole episode is really good (called, "how to collapse a superpower") and even talks about how implants such as pacemakers, etc. can be hacked easily resulting in possible death. your android or other smartphone brands can be utilized to do the dirty work for someone else even. this is scary stuff so i believe securing your android as much as possible could even save lives.

oh, need some Dna to go with that fingerprint? no problem.

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-hacked-database-prompts/

http://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/2015/05/18/tracing-your-microbiome-back-to-you/

millions of blood and urine samples are stored and kept as "anonymous" but it is becoming increasingly hard to keep it that way as new technology and specialists arise. your phone can tell people when u r near a hospital or laboratory possibly making it easier to get ahold of ur dna. in my opinion everyones dna is being stored in some form, somewhere. now ur whole ancestry and relatives info is vulnerable too.

sorry if i sound kinda "conspiracy theoryish" but these are legitimate concerns that i have about our future as technology in smartphones and elsewhere grows smarter.

"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
[General Topics] LoneWolfSK:
Fingerprint security and biometrics are connected with the blood sampling "in case an accident occurs", so if you give your blood type to authorities and they write it to your biometric chip, it is easy for anyone to hack the hospital/authority databases and gather the intel on you or even steal your credentials/wipe you out from the system. There were lots of movies about this, unfortunately they've become real nowadays. Any smartphone that has the fingerprint sensors is under the risk of being compromised regardless of wheather you activated fingerprint protection or not. Every time you touch the sensor, you are getting your fingerprint sent somewhere. There were people scanning their dog's paws and these were "invalid entries". Enough said :) you can "mimic" your fingerprints using silicone & latex gloves and faking them for some pre-made or custom made ones. It's either that or buying a non-FP enabled smatrphone.

thanks for sharing that link bud. regarding ur issue with orweb, maybe try uninstalling duck app. not sure why this might help its just idea. i just set homepage to duck on orweb to see if same thing happened to me using portrait (i rarely use landscape for anything) and it looks just fine to me. i downloaded prbot and orweb from f-droid app store if i remember right. or ur idea of uninstalling and reinstalling orweb might work too. also maybe rotation settings may be conflicting with eachother. on my rom there are 2 or 3 different places where u can select rotation settings and they need to all be the same as i heard this causes problems for some people when different.

Duckduckgo has a faulty design and issues with fonts (the first couple of results tends to be bold or bigger font) and this relates to them and Android. Tried it on iOS, no bug whatsoever.

[General Topics] ZipAddict:
one thing i noticed thats better is it doesnt say what android version u use, device u have, etc. specifically. before it said these things under user agent. also every time u test will probably be lower because more tests have been done with the program. certain things will single u out as it becomes more unique because less people have that going on, like special fonts. but i think lower bits of id info is best, but the statistics can be a bit misleading in looking at other numbers. this will require some research on our parts to find whats " best". i like it! im not a tech expert, these are my initial thoughts though
[General Topics] mrrocketdog:
1) duh. did not realize orbot & orweb were based on mozilla.

2) i think youre right ZipAddict that less bits would = more anonimity.

read an article on "the portal" few months back , cant find right now ; about an employee of a co.

i read that or similar story awhile back and it was in sweden i think. they wanted all employees to have this nfc or rfid chip supposedly as a security access badge, but i saw another article saying there was much more in mind for this. they could literally track the employees productiveness this way, including how fast they typed, how many times they went to the bathroom and how long, how long and where they took breaks, and even intended on tracking who they interacted with as friends, etc., etc. yes this is scary.

others are interested in this type of procedure done by body piercers to hack other peoples phones by borrowing phone to make a phone call in public places.
