he meant ishredder. its app for both ios and android i think. i believe it overwrites space with random data so that deleted data cannot be retrieved with software like disk digger. but im not sure if there is chance of data loss or them storing your data that its "erasing". ur opinion?

btw, nice link!

The iShredder app is for both Android and iOS, see details at: https://www.protectstar.com/en/products/ishredder-android

The Protectstar company allegedly exists for a couple of years and claims the ability to erase your phone data (shred it) using even high-security military grade standard. This is possible, but I haven't had time to test it. There are many PC apps that allow you to do the same to your phone, PC, laptop or Mac, search Google for File shredder. Even when you do complete the "shredding" process, there are still certain algorithms for putting them back together in their full binary form (pics, vids, texts etc.) so this can be a reversible process in case you do not use military grade file shredding standards.

You have a "hacked" iPhone 6 and you want to sue Apple? Did Apple hack you? How do you know you got hacked? What was compromised? I know a thing or two about security so please TEACH ME how to know that Apple hacked me so we can file a lawsuit together[emoji23]

And now, to cut the cr*p and get back on topic: even if you get hacked on your Android/iOS device, you can not sue Google or Apple and what you should do is read the EULA and the FAQ, especially if using custom roms or jailbroken devices. They made it clear but the text is too long to read so it is unfortunately not for people whose IQ doesn't exceed the room temperature figures.

Testing Whonix distribution today, so far so good around privacy and anonymity, compareable with other Linux distros for the purpose.

F-secure ,whether its good or not, i dont think its Under NSA control but i could be wrong. FInland isnt supporting muricun govt much, mostly towards russia. And also Kaspersky, yes its russian but still, personal choice tho Muricun security companies or Russians ? But for me, even tho they will all spy at each other at some point, id still go for russian or finland security products.

P.s - Quick Heal is not bad too but in terms of privacy just decent perhaps
[General Topics] LoneWolfSK:
[Privacy] Protection For Advanced Android Users (2015 And Beyond:What You Did...

F-secure is one of the lamest companies ever, alongside McAfee and AVG. Kaspersky's Russian debut of every single product version (antivirus/internet security) became a fiasco because the sourcecode was leaked and cracked 24 hours after the first demo, also by a Russian blackhat team. The most reliable solution is 360 total security, Chinese antivirus, firewall and anti-malware app. All in one, only 47 mb of RAM consumption, only 3 false positives in 3 million files after scanning my 2 TB hard drive. Absolute recommendation for Win and Android.

Dunno if its the exact place for this but.... Has your router ever been infected with adware? Or Router virus. 'yourexchangeserver.com' or admattes.com.

It effects many router, the only fix available is changing IP address. Yes, the adware comes from google analytics. Just asking if there are other ways to fix it other than changing ip addy, as that can take time for some ppl and customer support can be just BLAH. Ive only see one post about it on xda. It affects, ios, andriod, win, linux and yes mostly chrome. But can affect other browsers too when it spreads more in the system.

I have read through this whole thread with great interest - thanks for all the info. It's got pretty comprehensive, going off into Linux distros and TAILS and countless useful tools for all sorts of OS's :)

However, going back to Android, today I posted a separate thread about the security of using Android's built-in VPN capability in combination with Orxy/Orbot. I haven't received any answers on that. But I'm willing to bet there are some knowledgeable folks here who can help! So - totally anonymous paid VPN service like MULLVAD, or is my built in Android VPN operated by Orxy enough to hide my ass when using Orweb?

Dev [MENTION=5696732]anonify[/MENTION] might wish to get in on the action here, some of these folks I'm sure would be interested in your anonymity products.
[General Topics] LoneWolfSK:
You can update your router firmware, and route your connection through Virtualbox Damn Small Linux distro, if doubting any irregularities. I had explained how to do it in this topic.

Android embedded VPN can always be compromised, and if the paid VPN is ever compromised, you can get your money back and even sue them. The Orxy and Orbweb/Orbot are enough for "plain anonymity" but if you intend to go deepweb/carding/cracking/hacking, better go for a paid solution.

I also really like this idea. Imagine the portability! I have one of these drives, but it is my understanding that the two types of processor are totally different, therefore you couldn't boot TAILS/Linux on an Android device.

Thanks [MENTION=6832035]ZipAddict[/MENTION]! I don't have intention to do anything particularly illegal, but if I can go and look at a rocket launcher or kilos of heroin on these markets, I'm going to assume that the NSA or whoever is also looking at them, and trying their best to see who else is too! I don't want to be put on a no-fly list or some crap because I was curious and went and had a look.

Is the tunneling mentioned here related? Still not sure how secure Orxy is. Not even the dev [MENTION=5696732]anonify[/MENTION] has commented on how secure it is, and there are literally no real reviews to be found :confused:

Also, the app is paid, a couple of dollars a month, so is it only using Android's built-in VPN, or is there more security at work here?

[MENTION=6832035]ZipAddict[/MENTION] dear friend, this is a fully comprehensive text on dual booting http://www.howtogeek.com/187789/dua...-systems-on-your-computer/?PageSpeed=noscript

In short, you CAN perform dual boot of two different Linux distros on PC, but when you try doing that on your phone via USB OTG, you are bound to reach an error because:

- Android was not meant for dualboot out of the box; maybe it would work on Windows phone + USB OTG and dualboot would be possible either with tweaking or using Virtualbox

- USB OTG was never intended for dualbooting, only for viewing files or expanding storage

- Dualbooting requires bootloader editing of the main boot table, which is tricky because Android's bootloader must be unlocked and you must be well familiar with what you're doing. I have tried it in Virtualbox and it works, but the phone environment depends on the software version, bootloader, root status, privileges and a bunch of other stuff that comes preconfigured in Virtualbox environment.

haha! i didnt think u were up to anything just threw that out there mostly for people who may not speak in thread but try things they see here without any experience. thanks for the link. i have seen a couple other sites mentioning mobile tails os in the works but no new news by any of them. im not sure about Orxy and have not seen reviews other than in play store when i orihinally saw it. i would like to see source code and maybe try sometime though. we could run it through a couple tests to see how it performs. i would like for developer to tell us about it if possible.

thank u for this info buddy! it seems very specific to android device u want it to work on. seems possible for personal use but not so much for mass distribution.
[General Topics] LoneWolfSK:
About the privacy programs source code: no source code can be of any use to you if you don't know what to do with it. Even if you (re)compiled the software, you would have to pay the original developers because the source code is not opensource.

About android dualbooting: as I said, it IS device-specific, due to:

- locked/unlocked bootloader

- custom recovery adjusted for dualboot

- partition table (GPT) preconfigured and adjusted to fit your phone/distro

This takes a lot of time, and these are the limitations:

- updating Tails apps or the distro itself would be a nightmare

- updating your GPT, repartitioning, reconfiguring bootloader, recovery and OTG would be a nightmare

- no macros, patterns, scheduled tasks or any automation when dualbooting: it's 99% done by hand, and again - it's a nightmare.

Should you decide NOT to update Tails, you would not be well-protected and your privacy would be affected. Having all this in mind, I hope I cleared it up for you[emoji3]
