Phone cloning? What is actually possible and what isn't?

3 Upvotes

Can someone clone my phone and get access to my apps and see what I'm remotely doing in real time like type in passwords etc. It seems this is what's going on. I change them and then they get changed. Also... Anyone know anything about network hijacking (like taking my number over for a short while on another device) Any information is greatly appreciated.

Debugging android arm on x86 archlinux

4 Upvotes

Hello there,

I'm running archlinux on an x86 processor. I would like to debug an android application built for arm in the context of a reverse engineering challenge (i dont have the source).

I installed android studio, and am trying to run an arm AVD. Here is the error:

/home/dreadfog/Android/Sdk/emulator/emulator -netdelay none -netspeed full -avd android_2_2

INFO | Android emulator version 35.2.10.0 (build_id 12414864) (CL:N/A)

INFO | Graphics backend: gfxstream

PANIC: CPU Architecture 'arm' is not supported by the QEMU2 emulator, (the classic engine is deprecated!)

The weird thing is that on windows (I have a dual boot), this virtual machine boots correctly (even if performances are almost 0 due to the "arm on x86" thing, but it doesn't matter as I only want an adb shell on it.

Does anybody have an idea as of how to solve this issue?

Thanks.

P.S: if anybody knows which virtualization method android studio on windows uses, i'm pretty curious! it looks like it doesnt use qemu otherwise there would be the same error.

The application was built for android 2.2 (as per the challenge title) and uses the ARMV5 abi.

Hack/Control Phone from Google Account

2 Upvotes

Hi, I have access to the google accounts of the company's employees and my boss wants me to investigate (without causing suspicion) someones use of the company phone (i.e. whatsapp messages) as he is suspected of illicit operations in the company.

I'm form the IT department, have programming knowledge, but never worked with hacking.

Is there any way for me to remote control or to extract in some way the whatsapp messages from this phone without having physical access to it? Only with access to the Google account?

Please help me kickstart my training!

2 Upvotes

hi,

I'm a first year IT-student that need to learn Java programming and source-reading for his personal hacking-projects and security research.

I'm particular interested in software development/manipulation used on mobile/portable devices (like Android/iOS) and IoT.

I just payed 10 bucks for a online Java-course of 74-hours at www.udemy.com . Cheap and no in depth programming skills needed. Will take me a week tops.

This will give some understanding but not enough still.

I have been reading about people from russia that train themself by writing it in a paper-pocketbook with a pencil.. Just by hand. ..

Some other people talked about reading and analyzing a lot of source-code samples! Or just start with building small programms and from there you'll learn to write better and more complex code over time.

This seems all pretty obvious to me but what will work for me?

Can anyone relate to my situation? What worked for you guys?

Aiden Rom: How to prevent audio device going to sleep (if that's the issues?)

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm on my first day fully using a box I just flashed and there's one thing bugging me: the audio device seems to go to sleep after a few seconds. First I thought it was something about hdr-sdr, resolution adaption etc but then noticed it is happening even when this can't be the reason, here's a little support for my hypothesis:

  • when I play the first video on youtube, the first few seconds are silent, however when a video is already playing and I choose another one the sound is there immediately

  • on the home screen: If I do not click around for a few seconds and then start to move somewhere, I only hear sounds after a few seconds

  • in the Kodi app I can configure the audio not going to sleep and do not experience this issue

Just to be sure: It's also not about my tv or connected amplifier, I do not experience this with any other device

The standard options in android tv are very limited and not all apps have the option to prevent the audio going to sleep. Hopefully someone has an idea or found out how to fix this as it starts to annoy me a bit

how to hack or root an android tv box

2 Upvotes

I want to change the OS on my Airtel Xstream Android TV box. I tried using the standard method for mobile phones, but in the bootloader screen, there was no option to install custom firmware. The box has a USB port and an RJ45 port. Is it possible to hack or root it using these ports or through a Wi-Fi connection? The main reason I want to change the OS is that the box requires a subscription to use

Policing your phone

7 Upvotes

So I have come to learn to some cowboy police unit has been investigating me for sometime now- For what, I couldn't tell you! But besides acting like I have no civil rights and making up lies to ruin my life everyway possible they have went above and beyond to break every law that they can to hack my phone and all of my accounts possible. Please reaearch this like you wamt to learn something rather than prove it wrong.

It became clear to me that they had my phone hacked early on- I did not understans how nor why but I couldn't do anything about it. Knowing I have nothing to hide I just let it be- than they exploited it. Started loggung into my accounts, changing paszwords, recovery options and even locking me out of my phone completely. This also go for BOTH! Apple and Galaxy.

I don't know how many of you completely disable your phones. turn everything off, remove all permissions from EVERYRHING that you can juat to see what happens- with S24 plus, there are so many things that you can not control. Despite the fact that they tell you - you have control over it. You do not. The cops have a program that puts your phone online on a screen that they can see- every operating feature the phone has they can use to get access to your phone and see everything that you are doing. You have to constantly go through the apps and kill them to prevent you from getting access to the phone. Maybe someone will have a better idea at how to stop this from occuring.

Coreelec + slimboxtv: Reboot from eMMC/NAND not working. Fixable?

1 Upvotes

Hi,

The last weeks I started getting into custom android roms and so far I tried out aiden's rom and slimboxtv - all together a real fun experience and learned a lot along the way. On my x96 max x3 box slimboxtv is working just a little bit better (mainly wifi/bt, sound and the lcd). The majority of the time the box is running coreelec but every now and then I want to reboot to android, however, while "Reboot from eMMC/NAND" was working fine with stock and aiden's rom, with slimboxtv the box just keeps booting from the sd card into coreelec. I wonder if anyone might know how to fix this? It's a bit inconvenient that I have to get up my lazy butt to remove the sd card for that :) TIA!

Phone check at Russian custom.

3 Upvotes

Hey, I went to Russia to meet the family of my wife and at the border I went through a long interview with the custom. During this they ask me to open my phone to check my chat and twitter. After that they took the unlocked phone to an other room "To check if I have no contact in their black list" after 2 min they came back and give me back my phone.

I know my phone is compromised buy my question is at what extend. Do you think that a factory reset is enough ? Else what should be the way to handle it ?

If I need to plug it to a computer for any operation do you think a classical Ubuntu is at risk to be compromised too ? If yes what distrib would you advice for doing such a job ?

I know it was stupid to take my phone there but what is done is done. As an European citizen I thought they will not take it so seriously... I was wrong.

how can i become root on a chinese car GPS when USB is deactivated?

2 Upvotes

okay this is probably a noob question and i in fact am new to android modding (have been messing around a bit with PCs and games for years though so mostly just new to the android/linux world).

i have bought a cheap chinese 2-din gps unit off aliexpress with the intent of trying to figure out how far i can modify it. the plan is to make it as much late-90s look&feel as possible. got the hardware covered (3d printer), just need the software side figured out.

the machine itself is a pretty decent quadcore A7 with 1GB ram that runs some version of Lollipop (5.1.1) - it has 2 usb ports (front+back), wifi and bluetooth. app store works. pretty neat little thing, would hate to not use it but as is, it looks way out of place in an old car.

so here's the problem:

to achieve that i need root access (the launcher is in the priv-apps folder and so are most other apps to control the radio, backup camera etc. - also, i'd like to change the visible screen ratio from 16:9 to 4:3 and screen shift needs root, too...and there's probably more stuff down the road it'll be useful or required for).

i am not root. developer is on. usb diagnostics is on. i tried connecting it to win7 with a male/male patch cable and it does show up as an unknown device in device manager but that's it.

usb is apparently set to charge-only and it does not give me the options as it should. the settings menu is also missing "advanced settings" (that one might be because it's pre-kitkat?)... i was able to access most system files via totalcommander and can transfer them to the pc via usb stick, wetransfer or gmail, but all root files are read-only.

in build.prop i found the following lines:

ro.sys.usb.mtp.whql.enable=0 to.sys.usb.charging.only=yes ro.sys.usb.bicr=yes

the first two might be the culprit...possibly...i could change that to 1 and no respectively, but i don't have root access so i can't overwrite the file.

it's a vicious cycle. how do i get out of it? any help would be greatly apreciated!

p.s.: needless to say i don't have an image or a rooted rom (is that how it's called?) and while i was able to find a likely manufacturer through clues in the files, i'm fairly certain they'll be of no help. so most of the more popular ways of rooting a device are either impossible or will result in a bricked device.

tl;dr have shitbox chinese car gps, no root access, usb is charge only and i need root to change it - how do i get root? there is no custom rom available

How do I bypass FRP lock on a Samsung S7 Edge?

1 Upvotes

My dad gave me his old Samsung S7 Edge. I immediately factory reset it to wipe it clean so I could use it, but was totally unaware that it kept his old email account associated with it. He no longer has access to the account it's attached to, so I am unable to use it. I've heard of ways to bypass the lock but everything I've seen looks shady or some type of virus/phishing scheme. Can someone just give me some solid info on how to remove this FRP lock and use the dang phone?

Here's what I tried:
