How to log transmitted data - Other Tools & General Discussion

Hi guys,
during the weekend i was wondering which data are send by my S2 and to which server.
Specific by apps like facebook etc. when they are working in the background.
But my Man-in-the-middle-Attack was not working out.
I guess it was not all my fault because i was able to sniff some log-in-informations iwas using with my win7 computer.
How can i sniff the transmitted data?
Is the traffic encrypted and can not be sniffed?
Is it maybe possible to write an app which collects the data (that are being transmitted) bevore they are encrypted?
This would make it possible to write them into a log-file.
Thank you for your help!

It is possible to sniff out the data sent by app via the internet ... You could use a packet sniffer like WireShark to sniff out the data ...
DOWNLOAD LINKS:
For Android:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lv.n3o.shark (Sniffer)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lv.n3o.sharkreader (Reader for the sniffed Data)
For Windows/Linux/OS X:

BUT USE WITH CARE ! AND USE ONLY ON A PRIVATE NETWORK !

intercept text messages? or sniff packets sent by phones?

Is there a app that sniff packets sent by cell phones, my whole goal would be to intercept text messages or the data thats sent by cell phones. I came up with this idea when I was messing around with packet sniffer and thought about the idea but on cell phones. Is there something already out like this?
Wireshark at a "router"
While not an on-device solution, I use this setup when I want to watch the traffic between my phone and the network:
"sorry, apparently I can't post a link to this forum, it's at my site droidhacks.com, click on the wireshark tag in the sidebar and you'll find the post"
Having a full Wireshark install running on the desktop is great for poking through the data. I think some folks do the capture on the device and then just move the capture file across. Also helps sometimes to pull the SIM to make sure all the traffic goes through the laptop and not through the network. Sharing on OS X with an handset can be a bit fidgety when first starting up.
Find shark for android and sharkreader. Both of which can be found in this forum.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
can this be countermanded? stoped, disabled somehow? encrypted packets? someone's safety could be at risk.
Are you looking to capture the communications of other phones, rather than your own? If so, good luck, it's encrypted traffic.
Sounds pretty stupid and no, it is not possible. I would rather want a network sniffer for android. Connect to your local coffee shop network and start sniffing.

no, i'm just curious how this can be done.
if its encrypted how can you read the packets with your program then ?
some kind of id or serial number?

Ok, I think we need a rather large dose of reality here. You'll not manage it, simple as that, certainly not from a consumer device. I suspect you are thinking along the line of WiFi wireless, where you can monitor what other devices are sending. If you really wish to know more then google 'usrp' and you'll soon see you'll need far more hardware and software to start capturing GSM traffic.
ok so you're saying with my router i can't capture my text messages, like those sent and received with the YMesenger app ?
so its possible to sniff datalines?

Yes, it's possibly to sniff datalines, as well as WiFi.
I think you should break out with you gf
this thread is too funny ( lol )

cant sniff - lmao!!

Nice info.
Packet sniffing over public wifi is well known, but I learnt something new today
Chris Paget hapens to be a personal friend of mine
I'm pretty sure intercepting phone calls would still be "illegal", regardless of the fact that you're a network security specialist.
But yes, nothing is impossible, that's pretty much a given. Give someone enough expertise and resources, anything can be hacked. Encryption is actually important, so the general, uninformed riff-raff can't access anything they want. Like my previous statement, it can still be hacked, but it's better that not being encrypted at all.

So, my ex husband is using a packet sniffer to read all of my info that I txt over my phone. He is living with me until he closes on his new house (30 days out). I have installed a VPN on my phone. What else do I need to do? He says he can see all messages that I send, both txt and messenger as well as my calls?? He is a programmer, so I know he knows what he’s doing, how can I get my privacy back? I’m afraid that he will always be spying on me and it’s very frustrating.

Do you use Google Messages app for text messages? If so check if it is connected to Messages for web. Also if you use Whatsapp check if it is connected to Whatsapp web. I recommend to change password for all the services, Google, Facebook and so on and reset the phone to factory defaults. I don't think this has anything to do with packet sniffing.

Adhoc file transfer between 2 Android phones?

Hey
I want to use WiFi to transfer files from one Android phone to another Android phone. The only way to do this is thru a Adhoc connection (without a router). Is there a app that allows me to do this?
Thanks
I dont think so
Please add me on twitter. Just search for AndroidPhoneOS
Don't forget its Android, anything is possible, just need to find out a way.
Isn't bluetooth sufficient? Some apps allow you to view the other phone's files.
Enable wifi tethering on one phone and connect the other phone. Then use FTP or something to transfer files.
I don't have an extra phone to try this, but it should work.
I believe this is what you are after:

A 100MB file took about 50 minutes. WiFi would have allowed it to go much faster.

No. Hoccer works like a cloud so you need a internet connection.
It works !!!
I'm using "Wireless Tether for Root Users" , "DroidFTP PRO" and "ANDFTP".
The transfer via adhoc works perfect !!!
You can try wifi cast! I search for it in the market but i cannot find it anymore! So i have oploaded it! Its the lite version so it should be no problem! @mods: otherwise please delete the link! THX!

I am using a program called ZAPYA from playstore (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dewmobile.kuaiya). It is exactly what you want. You can transfer at lightning speed.. even full movies in few seconds without need for routers...Create a group from one mobile and Search & Join the group from other mobile/Tablet. It will do all other things for you. Very simple to connect and transfer files. We use this will all our devices.

Use WiFi-Direct or SuperBeam(2.3.3+).
By the way, I'm looking for a tool to send/receive file between two android devices over internet( not on a same network) in real time(without using wifi), just as yahoo messenger does. Any standalone app(P2P) ?

[App request] systemwide data corruption app (security)

Hi guys,
I'm only asking for this app due to a massive security breach of my emails and Facebook account after my phone got stolen at a cinema. The app requested is a security app which the person can set the app to have 3 people's handphone numbers which they would receive a specific code and instruction (e.g. 123456destroy) which would corrupt all data inside the phone and trigger a hard brick. The app should be factory reset proof
Sorry if I sound a bit too demanding but I'm still very worked up.........yep.
there r anti-theft apps with data wipe option, isn't that enough?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
Look man
They stole my phone
I'm gonna give them sh*t
The system corruption prevents them from selling it.
I'm sorry for your loss.
And what would happen if someone you sent the code to activated it for a really **** joke? Personally, I think it'd be better if you could activate the app when you download/install it then brick the device via a website yourself to save complications.
Sorry to hear you lost your phone though
Sent from my GT-I9100
no the whole point is that you don't tell anyone except yourself the code until you lose your phone
here are programs/ apps (e.g. airdroid) which can access your device as long as it is connected to a cellular or broadband network or internet portal. With airdroid, for instance, you can install apps, screw with files, and do whatever you could from the device remotely. Just a thought.

Sorry to trouble you, but could you tell me an app that allows remote screwing of root files like /system by SMS remote commands?

[Q] SMS to PC

Hey guys,
As you all are, i am also a developer.
and i have to stop my work when i receive a sms. that is read it, type of touchscrew (which is kinda pain) then back to work.
So i was wondering that is there any software that will allow me to access sms on Linux?
I dont want a net based software/app like textymate.
i need a native, which i can connect using bluetooth or usb.
Please tell me if there any any available.
Thank you.
Why not just use AirDroid?

I think you will not find anything native in Linux to do what you want as you are talking about directly manipulating the phone's SMS functions within a Linux app.
AirDroid is in a browser, but it is definitely not "all over the internet" as all the data exchange takes place locally on your own network.

"spy"-app without encryption

Hi guys,
i'm currently preparing a presentation for university (about mobile device security).
I would like to demonstrate how an app sends collected data (contacts, browser history, ...) to an remote server.
Like the Barcode Scanner.
Seeing the transmitted data (man in the middle) just works.
But my main problem is to find an app which sends the data not encrypted.
Do you know any?
I am not able to and do not want to spend a lot of time on decrypting the encryption.
Hope you can help.
thx! :good:
edit:
i am not talking about apps like mspy.
the app should seem to be usefull.
the mobile os should be android.

Good luck. No real Developer would send any info un-encrypted.

Maybe but you will be hard pressed to find one that passes Googles requirments. If I remember right when I looked into building an app for sending data the SDK sets up the encryption for you so it is done for you to prevent info hi-jacking.
yep. looks like i have to write my own one
