SmokeScreen DOH (DNS Over HTTPS) Server App

❓What does this app do?
This app establishes a local dummy VPN -- it doesn't connect to a VPN server and only handles your DNS packets -- to receive DNS requests your phone is sending and forwards them to a Dns-over-https server of your choice. It offers a lot of flexibility, is easy to use and doesn't use many resources. Type #doh, #dns or #alpha to get started.

❓ Who is behind it?
The app is being developed by me, Ch4t4r (or Daniel Wolf if you'd like). I'm 21 years old and a software engineer from Germany. I study computer sciences. You might have seen my DnsChanger application: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.frostnerd.dnschanger
Source codes to my apps can be accessed here: git.frostnerd.com

❓ How Do I get help?
You have multiple choices for receiving help. Either post here in our TG support group https://t.iss.one/joinchat/I54nRleveRG3xwAa3StNCg , send me a pm, or an E-Mail to [email protected].
I do answer technical questions as well.

❓ Is this App open source?
Yes. The source code can be found here: smokescreen.app/source

❓ Which server do you recommend?
I recommend the Keweon Dns-over-https server. This server blocks ads and tracking; keweon.com

Literally Just A Big List Of Facebook’s 2018 Scandals

Many recent roms that supported signature spoofing have this issue now with the latest December security patch by Google

You can try flashing nanodroid patcher to solve it for now

#dec #december #sigspoof #signature #spoofing

Recent hacked documents have revealed an international network of politicians, journalists, academics, researchers and military officers, all engaged in highly deceptive covert propaganda campaigns funded by the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), NATO, Facebook and hardline national security institutions.

End-to-End Encryption

The 2018 debate over the government’s authority to access private encrypted data on digital devices was kicked off in January when the FBO Director Christopher Wray called unbreakable encryption an “urgent public safety issue.” The year will likely also be remembered for a controversial bill passed in Australia, which could give the government there access to data otherwise protected by end-to-end encryption. The year also saw challenges to end-to-end encryption by Russian authorities who ordered secure messaging service Telegram to hand over the encryption keys of 9.5 million active Russian users.

NanoDroid v20.4 "Constitution"

What's new?

- Thanks to @ale5000 the Patcher can now detect whether the ROM has native sigspoof support and refuses patching in that case

- likewise for the addon.d, in case a custom ROM gains native sigspoof with an OTA-Update.

- LineageOS for microG since December updates refuses sigspoof to work when the permission is not defined in privapp-permissions, this is now the case (on all ROMs with native sigspoof support)

- The SysTest package now checks whether ROM has native sigspoof support, other (minor) changes

- Some Stock ROMs have a Setup Wizard that's incompatible with microG. In Magisk mode it'll be auto-disabled, for System Mode you need to do this manually, if required (see the Issues section of the documentation).
if you don't know what's that about: ignore this.

- To aid Multi-ROM users the Patcher now appends the ROM name/build id to the name of the services.jar backup

- The Uninstaller is not 100 % in shape for this change, will be fixed with the next release

- Updated and improved the Issues section of the documentation and (hopefully) make the ChangeLog easier to understand for end-users.

- Other changes, usual updates, updated and improved the first post here on XDA

Protect yourself from Vishing frauds

Identity. Information. Money.
There's more on the line than just a call.
Know the difference between a genuine call and vishing.
Protect your financial information from being misused.

Forewarned is forearmed.

Simply put, when you know about vishing, you are better prepared to protect yourself from it too.

Vishing is a type of fraud where a person poses as a genuine caller – may be as a bank official or an authority figure – and lures you into sharing your confidential information with him/her. This is then used for identity theft.

Here are a few steps that will help you protect yourself from vishing:
• Do not provide confidential information over the phone. A bank will never ask you for private information like One Time Password, card/account information or text (SMS) messages.

• Do not trust phone numbers, even if the number displayed is that of your bank, as it could be a scam, where a fraudster falsifies the number he/she is calling from in order to make the call appear as genuine

• When you receive a call, ask questions and get as many details as possible

• When in doubt, inform the caller that you will call back on the number. This will help you validate the genuineness of the call.

• Do not respond to any suspicious looking e-mail, automated calls or text messages

• Do not share your personal information on social sites or media. Be discreet when you tweet.

• Ensure that you update your contact details with the Bank to get timely alerts

Schützen Sie sich vor Vishing-Betrug.

Identität. Informationen. Geld.
Es geht um mehr als nur einen Anruf.
Kennen Sie den Unterschied zwischen einem echten Anruf und Vishing.
Schützen Sie Ihre Finanzdaten vor Missbrauch.

Vorgewarnt ist gewappnet.

Einfach ausgedrückt, wenn du über Vishing Bescheid weißt, bist du besser vorbereitet, dich auch davor zu schützen.

Vishing ist eine Art von Betrug, bei dem sich eine Person als echter Anrufer ausgibt - sei es als Bankbeamter oder Autoritätsperson - und Sie dazu verleitet, Ihre vertraulichen Informationen mit ihm zu teilen. Diese wird dann bei Identitätsdiebstahl verwendet.

Hier sind ein paar Schritte, die Ihnen helfen, sich vor Vishing zu schützen:
✅Geben Sie keine vertraulichen Informationen über das Telefon weiter. Eine Bank wird Sie niemals nach privaten Informationen wie Einmalpasswort, Karten-/Kontodaten oder Textnachrichten (SMS) fragen.

✅Vertrauen Sie keinen Telefonnummern, auch wenn die angezeigte Nummer die Ihrer Bank ist, da es sich um einen Betrug handeln könnte, bei dem ein Betrüger die Nummer verfälscht, von der aus er anruft, um den Anruf als echt erscheinen zu lassen.

✅Wenn Sie einen Anruf erhalten, stellen Sie Fragen und erhalten Sie so viele Details wie möglich.

✅Informieren Sie im Zweifelsfall den Anrufer, dass Sie die Nummer zurückrufen werden. Dies wird Ihnen helfen, die Echtheit des Anrufs zu überprüfen.

✅Antworten Sie nicht auf verdächtig aussehende E-Mails, automatisierte Anrufe oder Textnachrichten.

✅Geben Sie Ihre personenbezogenen Daten nicht auf sozialen Websites oder in Medien weiter. Seien Sie diskret, wenn Sie twittern.

✅Stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie Ihre Kontaktdaten mit der Bank aktualisieren, um rechtzeitig Benachrichtigungen zu erhalten.

How Apps on Android Share Data with Facebook - Report

Saturday, December 29, 2018

Previous research has shown how 42.55 percent of free apps on the Google Play store could share data with Facebook, making Facebook the second most prevalent third-party tracker after Google’s parent company Alphabet. In this report, Privacy International illustrates what this data sharing looks like in practice, particularly for people who do not have a Facebook account.

Librefox: Firefox with privacy enhancements

Don't kill my app!

Smartphones are turning back into dumbphones. We have to fight back!
To squeeze a little extra battery out of your phone, the Android device vendors listed below (starting with the worst) cripple apps and make them useless.

Smartphones are getting more and more powerful, but the battery capacity is lagging behind. Vendors are always trying to squeeze some battery saving features into the firmware with each new Android release.

But some go so far that they break useful apps just to get a little more juice out of your device. This even gets so absurd that with some vendors (e.g. Nokia, Xiaomi, OnePlus or Huawei) our smart phones are becoming dumbphones again.
