[Q] Airport Security Apps?

Good day all,
With all the hubub about airport security screening your phone I'm interested in an 'airport app'. Namely, as opposed to full encryption (meh good if needed, but I don't really want to trade battery life for security) or the hassle of backing up an image, flashing a virgin phone image for travel, and then restoring the image after travel..
Why not create a 'sandbox' app of sorts. Start it, it simulates virgin or near virgin status, have an advanced unlock sequence to close it. The only issue, I see, would be if the phone was restarted while in 'airport mode' could it be triggered to restart in said mode.
After typing out my whole idea, I'm thinking the backup and flash of virgin rom might be a lot simpler. But I'm interested if any other world travelers, or US travelers would be interested in something like this.
So I guess the question is, anyone else thought about this, anyone know of something similar out already? Anyone want to develop something like this?

Screening in X-rays? What does it have to do with anything?
Or some other screening (don't believe it's technically possible - too many phones)? Can you point to your info source?

I don't understand the point of this, it is not like they take your phone and play with it when you go through security. In fact, mine has never been removed from my carry on when passing through security.
Maybe you have some evidence to support your theory that our phones data is at risk when passing through security checkpoints... but I doubt it.

Are you in the US? 'cause 1) that never happened, and 2) that would be illegal (to search the content of your phone), unless they had reasonable suspicion that your phone contained data that showed evidence of criminal activity.
They might 'touch' some phones to make sure they are real (as in really work vs being a bomb or something), but they wouldn't search the content of your phone.

Sorry, wrong answer, it is the US, most national travel is not submitted to this type of search. All international (incoming) travel can be.
Lots of interesting talk on it: http://yro.slashdot.org/story/10/11...r-Moxie-Marlinspikes-Laptop-Cellphones-Seized
Legal explanation: http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data/constitution/amendment04/04.html
pertinent excerpt: "Border Searches .--''That searches made at the border, pursuant to the longstanding right of the sovereign to protect itself by stopping and examining persons and property crossing into this country, are reasonable simply by virtue of the fact that they occur at the border, should, by now, require no extended demonstration.'' 87 Authorized by the First Congress, 88 the customs search in these circumstances requires no warrant, no probable cause, not even the showing of some degree of suspicion that accompanies even investigatory stops."
A google search for "international travel us border checking laptops and phones" give about a million other examples, I'll throw a few below.

http://www.aclunc.org/issues/technology/blog/checking_your_privacy_at_the_border.shtml
ACLU excerpt (it's liberal, and slanted but a valid presentation of the worst case scenario): "Originally announced in July 2008, the current policy permits border agents to search electronic devices “absent individualized suspicion.” Agents may hold on to devices “for a reasonable period of time” to “review and analyze information.” In other words, border agents are legally able to take travelers’ information whenever they want at security checkpoints at airports or along the border, and hold on to it for as they long as they want. Agents may also copy information and send it off-site to be analyzed. The policy applies to all electronic devices, including computers, disks, hard drives, cell phones and cameras. Travelers have to be concerned about more than the possibility of security agents rifling through their belongings. Their private data might be compromised, erased, or kept indefinitely, and they don’t know how that data might be used."

Best I can say is nandroid + ext backup to your home computer, wipe phone before coming back into country, then recovery nandroid once you're back at home.

Yeah, sorta realized that or something similar would be the most efficient. I'm thinking even a step lazier, nandroid backup to SD, restore a stock rom / clear sim card, remove SD, maybe even backup to laptop (truecrypt FDE - custom error message at boot saying master boot record is corrupt)
walk out of security, pop in SD, start nandroid restore...
sigh.. a sandbox app would be sorta fun though.

If they have a right to detain your laptop, clone your HD and you have to submit all your passwords - it's kinda useless to try and protect the data somewhere on the computer, and it's better just to back it up on microSD hidden in the suitcase - no way it'll be detained.

Definitely keep a copy of it on your computer at home, though.

airplanemode anyone?
Or turn of your phone.

I know what will make it a quick transition through airport security when flying international..
Put some heavy encryption on my phone, obfuscate my data, and then pass it off with a flimsy cover program to make it look like there is nothing there. That way if they do find it, it's GITMO TIME.

meh, at the lower tier of airport security a custom boot message from a full disk encrypted truecrypt volume. "please insert windows disk" "cannot find master boot record" or similar.. and a sob story about how your laptop stopped working on vacation and when you get home you have a friend that you hope can fix it..
gets by most, it's not NSA at every checkpoint. it's just over min wage, uneducated, folks..
so backing it up to laptop, and tossing micro SD card in the bottom of a bag or in a jacket pocket.. will work just fine.

[Q]about wifi packet sniffing and skype

So apparently, I can't bring my laptop everywhere to get my thing done, but I had a thought of referring that to my phone. I find any trusted app/script to get the packets to cap file that would sit down in my sd card for further use. I'm not some evil mastermind that would go stealing anything(don't need anything now dough) This is purely for learning since I'm still learning about IT but trying to get ahead and since android is something that I'm still not sure of how it works.
And my other question: How can I get video calling on skype? I'm assuming it should work with GindgerDX but it doesn't.

The question is ... why would you want to run a packet capture? The payload data in the packets is encrypted anyway - so there's no real way to (assuming evil intentions) crack down on the convos of other users being in the same WLAN/LAN segment. If you're worried about Man-in-the-middle attacks take my word that it won't work. If you wiretap a Skype<->Skype chat/call via a man-in-the-middle attack the connection would fail as Skype would recognize that the end-to-end encryption is borked.
Anyhow, whatever your idea is ... Google for "Pixie" ... that's a network sniffer for Android, and the only one I happen to know (as real men use tcpdump or Wireshark for network analysis anyway).

No. Skype Video only works on a selected range of devices (read up on the description in the Market) having a FRONT camera (a camera that's facing you and not a camera that's at the back of your device facing away from you).
Look around on XDA/Google (in other words: SEARCH!) and you will find out that there's a hacked version that has Video enabled for some additional devices, though I don't know if that would support the back camera of the W8/X8.

Yeah I'm kinnda sorry for the dumb question about skype cause I just always forget to look it up when I sit down on the web.
As for the sniffer thing. I dont know who would ever need to investigate packets affcourse I need to get the password. The sicuation is hard to explain, but lets say I need to prove that 14digs of just numbers is a stupid idea for long range wifi access password.
I cant get my laptop there so I need an alternative to get some packets and then easily get the password at home and as I sayed I'm not a genius in IT but I know how to use some of the features that backtrack provides.

HELP: Looking To Ditch Telco House Phone

I've ditched cable TV, and I'm loving the freedom. I'm wanting to ditch my house phone as well, and then only need internet from my service provider. They really hit you hard for not having TV, making the phone like $30 a month just for an effing land line! I have a cell, but I have a wife and kid at home that need a land line for occasional use. I've looked to adding a line to my cell plan, and I didn't get on a family plan, so another line is like $50 a month. So I'm looking at some kinda VOIP solution, I really like Ooma service. However the unit is like $200. I was thinking maybe Magic Jack but I don't like the annual fee. I just want to pay once and have a solution that's long term. Plus I don't like Magic Jack's gimmicky feel, makes it seem cheap. I can get over it if it's really the best option, but just personal feeling. Either way I'm open to suggestion, just tired of being over charged for a phone we use occasionally. Ideas?

I don't know all the providers that are out there, but if you find a provider that will allow to register your DID number using Asterisk, and you have an old (P 4 gen. one, or newer) laying around. This way you van configure it to suit your needs. The best part is you don't need to buy expensive VoIP phones. Just an inexpensive ATA (analog telephone adapter) that can be found on ebay, and use all of your existing home phones and wiring.
The only down fall to this setup (as with any VoIP setup) is you will need a UPS to keep it running in the event of a power failure.
If you have questions let me know.

Oh you shouldn't left that door open,I've got a lot of questions!
So an Asterisk setup w/ ATA Adapter is essentially what Magic Jack and Ooma are doing, just charging you for it?
How would I check if my provider (I'm presuming you mean my internet provider) will allow me to register my DID number, just call them?
What is "P 4 gen. one, or newer" referring to?
I'm sorry I just need a little more explanation on the process, or if you could link me to a how-to page. I just need a point of reference to Google from, this concept is completely new to me.

Hehe, I dont mind.
1. Correct, but with the added benefit of being able to configure/customize it to your needs.
2. I'm not talking your current ISP (you will needt to keep them) I ment like Vonage, or Voipo, etc. Alot of them will give you a "free adapter" that that you can not customize much. Call them and see if the would be willing to give you SIP credentials (login) in place of the adapter, or go with one that offers SIP trunking, (all phone features like vm, cid, etc would be handled by you rather then the provider). SIP trunk providers just do the orig/term of your phone number, and then send traffic to you (ring) when someone calls your number.
Most (if not all) VoIP providers have the ability to port your number. meaning that you would be able to keep your current Land-line number. (same idea as changing cellular providers but keeping your phone number)
3. A "P4 gen one or newer" would be a computer desktop that has a pentium 4 or better, with at least 512 MB of RAM, and at least one NIC (network interface). I would suggest running Asterisk in a Linux/Unix environment, as that is native, and runs with out all the over head of Windows
This is a good howto, although a bit old. I would suggest running either Asterisk 1.8 or 10, as they are both supported (ver. 1.4 isn't anymore, but i'm not sure about 1.6).
One other thing I forgot to mention is e911. If you do decide to go the VoIP route (running either Asterisk or just using a providers provided adapter, make sure they offer this. In the event that you need to call 911, your home address will be registered, and you will be connected to you local PD dispatch (they will know where you are). If this is not offered, you may get connected to a regional dispatch, and it will take longer for your local PD/EMS/Fire to get to you.

@nj_PeePs
Sorry it's been so long to get a reply back to you, life gets in the way. However I saw a Slickdeals offer that sparked the thought about our convo. The OBi110 is this an example of an ATA adapter that would work? Also is there an ATA adapter that's tailored to work for this application? I'm just looking for which bit of gear I should buy to start working on this project. Thanks!
EDIT: Or I just found the OBi202 looks like it does USB and Bluetooth, would that be a better first purchase?

Work will supposedly start denying access to the wifi to rooted/jailbroken devices

So yeah, assuming their efforts is successful and they manage to set up their wifi to deny access to rooted devices, is there anyway around this without unrooting?

There used to be a module called Root Cloack(er) for Xposed frameworks that hides root, don`t know if there is a version for Marsmellow though. Its here on the XDA forums somewhere.

But how? I can't think of any way to detect a rooted/jailbroken phone from a Wifi connection, without you having to install or run some other piece of software/script that would give them that information.

I'm not sure. I would not put it past my company to make us install such a script in order to access wifi.

Many places are doing this. Detecting root is simple. Even Snapchat and others are doing it. Heck they are even looking for xposed and won't work if detected.
You would be amazed at what info people can get from your device when it's connected to wifi

a lot of info sure... But an app running on your phone detecting it, vs detecting that something is installed simply by connecting to their network? Your phone passes along a lot of info... but not installed binaries?
I could see them maybe having a black list, like if you're connecting the the exposed repositories your likely rooted... but if you are not using programs that require root access and communicate over the network, how are they doing this?

A simple request for the info. Have you ever looked at a logcat and saw everything running. I could be gone for weeks and come home and tell you every device that has ever connected to my network the whole time I was gone and with the right things in place could even tell if they are rooted or jailbroken

I can see the same as the poster above me on our network, it is not hard at all. And if we had such a policy and you used a cloaker I would have you fired.
Their network, their rules. I really don't think you should do this.

Can you provide any links or further detail? Obviously by viewing system logs you can tell whats running.... but I have never seen any standard network function to request a connected device to send logs without permission? Google searching the topic provides little info as its saturated with info on how to root, and using root for ad blocking.
Even a brief overview of the setup you would use to check? What are "the right things" and what "place" would the need to be in?

I wont get into it too deeply as I have my guys that watch this site as well and If they go around my security setup like with exchange pin request or using some devices on my network I will fire them on the spot. Lets just say the router logs everything that is done on the network. Connect your device to your wifi and then watch a logcat. You should be able to see what you are looking for.
Understand that unless approved by me no device can connect to my network. With the right router you can see everything about a device. you wont find much info on google as things like this are kept close to the chest with the IT crowd

No one here is trying to connect to your network. It's XDA and people are curious. I agree that it's silly to circumvent measures used by the company you work for (assuming you want to keep working there), but I also find it strange that you connect to a network and have that router, etc tell if your phone has a specific binary and apk. Is that what you are claiming happens?

It can yes. And you are right this is XDA but you would be amazed at what info is not shared here or anywhere except between IT managers or other devs.
Once connected to a network it is not that hard to get everything from a device. This is why all the warnings about connecting to open networks. While Open networks are more of a risk it goes to show that anything can be done.
This has been a practice for a very long time even back to the WM days when roms encluded time bombs that would make the rom not work after a set time and date.

It's all smoke and mirrors to me until someone explains how it's possible to read files on a device by a user just connecting to a network and providing no further interaction. Sure you can get the device MAC, name, etc, but that's not how I read your statements. As mentioned in the post above yours, you can guess on network traffic, etc, but I really doubt anyone can "know everything".

Its not guessing network traffic. You can tell exactly what sites they go to. You can tell if they are using a mobile or desktop browser. (same way the carriers do it to prevent teethering)
All it takes is being connected to a network to be infected with a virus. Just how do you think that happens?
No one is gonna explain it. Just like we dont allow talks about network penetration. There are just something that are best not out in public view.
Here is an older example of how they detected jailbroken iphones on school networks.

I am specifically referring to detecting that a binary and an apk exist on a device SOLELY based on establishing a network connection (not viruses, not websites visited...user does nothing and no new code/software runs on the device). That does not seem probable to me.
It may just be semantics, but that's how I interpreted your original statement.
Of course network admins can see what sites users visit, what browser they use, etc and there is no guessing - only logs [emoji3]. I was using guessing in different sense (ie, you see something "suspicious" and draw conclusions).

Wow.... if i ever get fired after i found out they are 'reading' files on my device... this will be case for a courtn no doubt! I'm sure (at least where i live) the one that fires you based on such actions will have a big problem!

You would lose. When you agree to use their network you agree to all their rules. This is the main reason for things like Knox. As more and more place move to a "right to work" setup where they dont need a reason to fire you at all. I would be careful about what rules one does break. Gone are the days where we could get away with things like this.
You know this got me thinking. Maybe I will play around with my network and see what I can find out. I have to block root and xposed users anyway so this would be a great challenge. Might be awhile as I revert all my PC back to windows 7.
From an IT perspective, a rooted device provides little to no security. That's why most mobile device management (MDM) products include a feature that let IT block rooted devices from connecting to the secure network or accessing corporate assets. But these products must be able to detect rooted devices before they can block them, and there are ways users can get around those detection mechanisms. Organizations that rely on MDM alone to detect rooted devices should be aware of these limitations.

Trying to Find BT Devices only lists BT Addresses like 6B:7B:BC:90:2F:3D

I don't get this phone... It is fairly a new model but I struggle every time I try to connect to a new Bluetooth device. It basically lists a bunch codes like this: 6B:7B:BC:90:2F:3D
I am trying now to connect my motorcycle helmet communicator (Sena SMH10), which worked without a glitch with my Z5C but the XZ1 simply lists codes back to me. This has happened to other BT speaker phones at friends house, but it was not critical. Now I need to connect my device to my cell phone and I need to get to the bottom of this.
Phone tells me everything is up to date: Android 8.0, August 1 Security Patch, Build 47.1.A.12.270
Any feedback is appreciated!
Thanks!

No one ever seen anything like this before?
Any feedback?

I'm having that as well.

These "codes" are MAC addresses. They're unique identifiers for network interfaces. It's a 48-bit number and the first 24-bit's uniquely identifies the vendor or manufacturer.
30:35:AD: for example is Apple. Just as an example, you can use this site to lookup the vendor: https://macvendors.com/
Unfortunately 6B:7B:BC or 11:0A:97 aren't registered to anyone.
But regardless whether you see a device name or a MAC address, the pairing and connecting and so on functionality is the same. The devices don't care about device names.
Just because it's showing you MAC addresses doesn't mean you can't connect to them. The device name is just a nice thing for us mere humans. And a lot of times the device name shows up after pairing with it or trying to pair with it. Devices don't necessarily broadcast their names as well unless the phone asks for it.
So what's the problem here? Don't know which one is the one you want to connect to? Well, how about you try one. Or get away from other BT stuff so only the device you want to connect is around. Then you'll know it's MAC address and if the phone doesn't get the device name, you can rename it after pairing.
And since the devices you've already paired with show device names, the phone is clearly asking for the device name at least when you pair with it.

^ ^ ^ This could be the most informative and yet most useless post ever!
My intent is to have BT working as it should, showing me the correct device names AND connecting properly. Since this began, I can't connect to new devices, only previously connected devices.
And not, this is NOT a Sony feature! This is an issue and any feedback on how to actually address it, would be welcome!
Thank you!

Hit refresh in Bluetooth settings (3 dot menu > Refresh). Turn BT off and on again. Reboot your phone.
Try in that order until it works.

Not sure if you were joking or not, but I did try - it only took me a few minutes to do this 3 times in casae it was a joke and you are laughing at me for trying.
And nothing, still shows the MAC addresses under "Available Devices".
