You should read this before clicking this post away, I bet you like this: HERE, because it's for Android now!
Note: for the best user experience, you need a rooted device, there are many tutorials on XDA how to root your device.
Hello,
Today I want to introduce you my new application. I and of friend mine have created this application.
Element53 is a ready-to-use DNS-tunnel for Android. It can be used for different things. If you don't know what a DNS-tunnel can do, you can find it HERE (really, you should do this, I am sure you want this on your phone!) (first 2 chapters). So this application should be perfect if you are going abroad. Beside that it can also be used for penetration testing.
Element53 creates a TCP-tunnel to a SOCKS proxy server. The client side of the tunnel is localhost:3128. For your convenience the server part is provided.
If you have rooted your device (this is no requirement) you can install ProxyDroid and route all internet traffic into the tunnel.
You have to configure ProxyDroid before you can use all the functions of Element53. You should apply the following settings:
Host should be: 127.0.0.1
port should be: 3128
Proxy type: SOCKS5
After that, you have to start Element53 by pressing the 'green button', after that you can start ProxyDroid. Because Element53 creates a DNS tunnel, the connection is not very fast, but it works fine.
Element53 Lite allows you to test until you have reached 10 mb traffic. If you like Element53, you can upgrade to the Pro version.
Youtube demonstration video:
Lite: Market link up here.
Pro: Market link up here
I have tried to test this application as much as I can, but I guess there are still some bugs.
If you encounter a bug a problem, please make a reply on this post, and I will work on it. If you think it works great, please leave a positive review on the market, thanks! If you have any other feature request, please tell me.
Or, if you have any questions, please ask me, and I will reply ASAP .
Update: (5 july 2012)
Full support from SDK7 (Android 2.1) from now!
Update: (4 july 2012)
Today I have updated Element52 to version 1.1. I fixed some bugs and added some buttons for switching between screens, because not everybody knows that you can 'swipe' between them.
Source:
GitHub here!

Good App
I have been testing this on my school network, and it works fine. When I am going on vacation I will use this application very much I think, thanks!

I have been testing this on a few networks, and for so far, it works fine! I am glad you like it!

You are the best! Thx for the great app.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium HD app

I really appreciate that, thanks! If you have any bugs or whatever, please tell me!

N/A

Small update:
I have added a demonstration video of Element53 now, you should watch it!

"For your convenience the server part is provided."
Does this mean that you are running server to which android client is connecting?

Yes, that's correct. You only have to install Element53, and for the best user experience a rooted device with ProxyDroid.
If you have any questions, please ask!

Ok, thanks. I will test it on vacation - paying for wifi in 2012 just doesn't feel right

Haha, that's fine! Please tell me your experience with Element53!

Guys,
Element53 has been updated to 1.5
Changes:
- Some small bug fixed.
- Improved GUI.

Hey, this app is a simple yet useful tool, anyway i wanted to use my server instead of using yours, it's set up correctly and waiting for connections,
anyway when i change the settings on the phone it won't allow me to connect to it. Did you hardcode something into the app so that i cannot use my server?
here is a screenshot of the logs

Hi, thanks for using my application. Do your server receive any DNS requestst? So far I know there is nothing hardcoded, in the app, I will look into this tomorrow!
Sorry for my late reply by the way.

Hi,
I am sorry for my late reply!
We have build a custom server for Element53, the server is made in NodeJS.
You can find the source here: Element53 GitHub

Hello everyone.
Tried to roll-out this application in the test environment and has a problem.
Looks lite the tunnel is up normally but when i tried to open any page i see something like that (screenshot)
So the setup is:
1. Server for DNS: Windows XP SP3 ENG CORP, NODE.js (node-v0.10.20-x86.msi, config53.js, element53.js downloaded yesterday).
config53.js:
------------------------------------------
exports.config =
{
domain: 'xxx.yyyyy.zz',
port: 53,
server_ip: '192.168.1.140',
server_port: 3128,
max_client_inactive_ms: 5 * 60 * 1000,
status_interval_ms: 3000
}
------------------------------------------
2. Proxy server: 192.168.1.140 (Kerio Control with no authorization)
3. Client: Android phone Asus Nexus 7 (firmware: Paranoid), Element53 Lite from google play
May be i should use another client from this link ?
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Hello,
Thanks for using Element53, do you get the same problems with my (default Element53) server? The other link is someone who merged Proxydroid and Element53 together. Your problem looks like something with the characterset.

Okey.
Just tried your server.
I went to settings/apps/element53/clear data.
Then open element53 and pushed the button. Tunnel looks like has established.
But when i opened a browser (firefox and default one) it couldn't fine any page. The error was like "there was a network error".
See screenshot of some logs

Hmm, that's weird. What are you configs for Proxydroid? Restarting the browser could solve the problem too.

VPNC on android

Introduction
This is the first release of an installable package to allow google android phones to connect to Cisco like VPN concentrators.
Details
The installing phone will require:
* Root user privileges on the phone.
* /dev/tun file
* Kernel with tun support (or tun module). (cyanogen should be good)
* A cisco, nortel or freeswan ipsec server to connect to.
How To
Installing this version
This is available in the android market as a free application. It should be called VPN Connections. (Not sure where it will be listed as yet).
The latest version of the application can also be downloaded from here and installed using adb.
Reporting bugs
Please inform us which ROM and version that you are using, if the /dev/tun exists, its permissions, and the output of logcat from a boot, also the version of this application that you are running.
If your ROM and version are already reported in the issue list, please comment in the thread as there has been some inconsistencies in reports.
Please be very careful when lodging a bug as it may contain company confidential information. Be sure to strip any secrets or passwords from the configuration files or debugging information.
http://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/issues/list
Known issues
May need to load the tun module manually first.
Usernames can not contain the @ symbol.
Does not currently work with one time pass devices (Rsa keys).
Reserved for changelog.
no longer needed.
I'm not trying to ping via DNS name, so dont be worred about that. I know the other hosts are up, reachable and pingable.
Tried TCP and ICMP connections.
Unfortunately I don't have any ideas for you.. I'd like to play with it some myself though, would love to have VPN working. Could you send me / post the compiled binaries? saiboogu [at] g mail
Thanks and good luck
Sent to said address.
A little more information.
When tcpdumping the connection, packets originating from the phone go out through the device.
When tcpdumping the connnection with packets originating from the internal network through the vpn, i can tell they make it to the rmnet0 device, but never make it to tun0 device.
Ok, so I have it working now ! Wahoo.
So.. going to tidy the code up, Clean up the shell script to be android specific (and set the DNS servers).
Great. Would be awesome if you could share your binaries. What about joining this project and submitting what you did?
Tried mailing the owner of the project, many weeks ago. No response. Guess its dead.
I'm going to try to get a build environment setup for the major releases. Please PM me within the next 7 days if you are interested.
I plan to not only release the binaries, but the source code and build environment also. Hopefully the upstream developers will also take my patches.
Is it possible to connect with this vpnc to a cisco concentrator 3000 vpn?
We use CiscoVPN at our University and it would be nice if Android will be able to connect to it.

I got a copy of this a few days ago from ungamed.. At first I couldn't connect to our 3000 because I was lead to believe our concentrator only supported TCP NAT traversal (which isn't supported by vpnc), but after talking to someone who knew his stuff a little better, I connected via UDP and had no problems.
So, short answer -- as long as your concentrator is configured to accept some form of NAT traversal other than TCP, this should work.
Oh, and like ungamed said the DNS still needs some work. Not a problem for me, when I VPN to work I only need a single domain that I went ahead and put in my /etc/hosts
Awesome work
Hey guys,
Let me know if you can provide a package.
Would love trying this out.
Thanks,
Kiran.
You can find out a first download here. http://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/downloads/list
This is the console part of the project, not the GUI, I'm still building that this week. Requires a rooted phone 1.5 or above.
I think that the dns is fixed in this first download

But thank you very much! Maybe then the nice GUI is ready ;-)

hi tao, thanks for the great app. works good on the sgs2, although it sometimes disappears from the status bar. so i have no way of turning it off. might wanna take a look into that.
i note from the pcap that the phone keeps calling into google's servers in canada. do you have any idea what app is causing it? also, there seems to be quite a bit of data transfer to some servers in china. perhaps you could help me decode what is going on with more detail?
thanks so much!

I will try to fix status bar issue, so please teach me below.
1. Do you use a custom rom?
2. How often it happen what notification icon disappears from the status bar?
tPacketCapture can't identifies that what apps transfer to servers.
So please try capturing with minimal apps that you think bad.
I will try research how to identifies what apps transfer to each servers.

Cannot Ping
Hi Tao,
I am running on a SB104SH phone running ICS 4.0.3. So far your app is quite impressive. I do have one question though - I have been unable to ping a server while tPacketCapture is running. Is this expected?

Hi,
Thank you for using tPacketCapture and posting comment
Yes, this is expected.
tPacketCapture receives ping(ICMP) data from other apps, but can not send it.
To send ICMP packets, tPacketCapture needs to use raw socket, but it needs root permission.
So tPacketCapture discards packets except TCP/UDP.
Root
Ok, I think I understand.
Do you mean if I root my device then ICMP packets will be forwarded and ping will work? If not, is there any way to configure this to capture all packets with root?

Hi, thanks for reply.
tPacketCapture does not use a raw socket.
So if you will use a tPacketCpature on root device, it can't forward ICMP packets and ping won't work.
Sorry..
If you want to capture all packets on root device, I think it is better that to use a raw socket in your app.
Does it make sense to you?

Yes, that's correct. We need to put some our secrets to the credentials storage.
Note: actually our application do not asks for your passwords or any of your credentials. It is Android's default dialog. We do not store any of your credential! BTW, we can't get it because of permissions.

When I installed on my G2 it instructed me to enter proxy settings. It would then only let me use it on a mobile network and not wifi. It didn't connect most of the time. When I uninstalled, it apparently did not remove the proxy information. I could not browse the internet for 2 days on mobile, only wifi. I finally downloaded Proxy Settings app so I could remove the information and browse again.
Sorry for inconvenience
fied1k, we are working on our service. Sometimes our servers can be unreachable, but not all the time.
We know that some firmwares contain "broken" VPN implementation (main reason: carrier/vendor changes). We are providing secured IPSEC connection. Most part of VPN clients for Android provide unsecured PPTP connection with disabled encryption.
We are working on this issue.
Proxy is the fallback for you if we can't use VPN on your device. But unfortunately now it can work only in 3G/4G. Or you can use Opera Mobile/Firefox where you can configure proxy settings.
In latest version, if you are using proxy, you can uninstall application from itself. You will see "Uninstall" button on the app main screen.
BTW if you re-install app and if it detects that you have changed proxy settings - it will asks you to erase it.
Not Working
Youve sent me a beta code on [email protected] coz i do apply to be a beta tester before but now that i installed the app from the playstore the beta code you sent me is noty working... now ive sent another beta code request... is openvpn supported on this app? if yes, does this need a tun.ko for my device?

No, this is not openvpn. This is ipsec. You don't need root privileges on your device. You don't need tun.ko.
Strange forum behavior

OpenVPN will be supported for Android3.x/4.x.
For Android 2.x there is no way to use openvpn without rooting.
When are you going to support android 4 " ICS " ??
thank you

Hello everyone!
Yesterday I released my first Android App called Icy Monitor, it helps you monitor your PC using your android device.
Features
Get graphs about your CPU (load, temperature, clock, power), GPU (load, clock, temperature, fan) and system (fans, temperature, voltages).
Customize graph colors to your liking.
Get information about each filesystem and each process running.
Save and monitor multiple computers effortlessly.
Clean, beautiful interface with tablet support.
The app is free, without advertisments and open source!
Downloads
Play Store
Windows Server
Github (for source)
Setup
Download the server application using the link above. Extract all files somewhere and run the application as administrator (otherwise, I am not allowed to read most sensors). An icon should appear at your system tray, right click it and select 'Open Firewall', this will open port 26822 which is used by the app (This only works with Window's Firewall, if you are using something else you must open port 26822 yourself). Now you can connect from the phone app by typing in your computer's IP address followed by ":26822". If you want to access the server through the Internet you will have to setup port forwarding, which is a different procedure for every router so I cannot help you.
If you don't know your IP, open a command line window and write "ipconfig". You should find your IPv4 address there.
More info
For more info, please visit my page or just ask here. Feel free to mail me at any time.
Thanks a lot for trying my app! Any feedback (positive/negative) is extremely appreciated!
Would love to use this with my Linux box

Theoritically, the server could run on Linux with Mono but being a former Linux user I know Mono is not the best option. I am brainstorming this, I hope to be able to support Linux soon.
Thanks for the interest however!
Harmless little bump.
I followed all the instructions then tried setting it up on my device. I was a little confused why it refused to use a domain name. Nonetheless I entered my IP address. Now I get the error "Incompatible server version". Am I doing something wrong?

There was no activity in this thread so I forgot to update the server download link. Try this version. Sorry for the trouble.
Also it SHOULD accept domain names, it worked with mine (looks like this: something.dyndns.info). Maybe it's a port forwarding issue?

Everything works now, thanks! Once I installed the new server version I was able to connect via IP and domain. Before the domain said it couldnt connect and the IP said incompatible.
This is a very handy app for on the go.

Thanks a lot for trying it! More features are coming soon (like push notifications).
Network monitoring?
Will you be adding network traffic monitoring in the future?

I am currently focusing on server-side features and bug fixes. Next version will include a better designed interface, disk space notifications and better error handling. Thing is, my phone's screen is currently broken so I am delaying this release until I can test it properly. Hopefully it will be ready next week.

[APP][2.2+] Network Connections for Android

Hi all,
After making the Anti Spy Mobile, I had some questions from users how to track the actual connections from Spyware apps, or comments like "Anti Spy Mobile says my phone is clean, but my device is still tracked". Then I decided to make Network Connections - an app that monitors, captures and logs all connections from an Android device in order to show where the "data goes". And to work for NON-ROOT devices too. Almost an year after, here's the app - Network Connections for Android.
Because I wanted to thank all of you (XDA-devs members) that gave me suggestions for my previous app - Anti Spy Mobile, I've decided to thank you all by giving you a free, unlimited key for the new app. The key will be available in Google Play until 10/10/2013 extended until 19/10/2013, so everyone who likes the app can download it now and use it without limitations!
About the app - a tool that displays and monitors (tracks) all inbound and outbound connection from and to Android device that works on NO ROOT phones (for Android up to 10) too. For Android 10+ you need ROOT (see below)..
KEY FEATURES:
- Monitors all internet connections from and to your Android device
- Displays notification when hidden apps are connecting to remote servers
- Displays detailed IP information for each connection - IP address, reverse resolving (PTR), AS number, Abuse RBL data, administrative information, etc.
- Gets detailed info about each app that connects to remote servers and network connections used by it - permissions granted to each captured package and all IP addresses used by it.
- Real-time sort by most active, latest connections or by package name.
- Log and export the captured data.
Connections Used by The App:
Google IPs - Statistics and Maps
RIPE, ARIN - IP information
Screenshots:

}
App URL: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antispycell.connmonitor&utma=xd (I'm posting the APK as attachment, but it's better to use the Google Play link in order to receive further updates).
Special Unlock Key For XDA-Developers: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antispycell.connmonitor.unlockxda&utma=xd
Please let me know how do you like it, and what are your suggestions on it. One thing that is not implemented, but seems to be good is the feature to block non-wanted connections (this will work for ROOT users only, but still will be a plus).
Known issues: Some IP addresses are not handled correctly on x86 Intel devices - negative numbers in the octets. - fixed
v1.0.8 - fixed resolving in current connections tab & some optimizations
v1.1.1 - zero port connections with invalid state not displayed
v.1.5.0beta - made to work for *Rooted devices for Android 10+
UPDATE (06/2020): A beta version (v.1.5.0) that works with Rooted Android 10+ devices is now released. Please test and submit reports here
You need ROOT for Android 10+: The app needs supolicy and it works with Majestik and SuperSU. All comments are appreciated.
All suggestions are welcome! Thank you ! :good:

I think E4GT is an ARM processor, so it should work.

Thank you Mike! Let me know if you have any issues with it. Btw, the free unlock key for XDA is already published in Google Play, so if you like the app you can take advantage of it.

Playing with it, I found some interesting "unexpected" connections:
For example - the ES File Explorer (one of the best file managers for me) is connecting to IP in Beijing, China on the HTTP port 80 ... ?
There are no ads in their app, probably they are using some kind of tracking, but why in China? Most of the apps are using Flurry, Google Analytics, etc. With a saucy list of permissions granted to the app it's scary ..
So, I was thinking that probably a place on the web that explains the network connections of the apps (at least the popular ones) will be a good source of security for those that want to know. What do you think ?
Nice app, thanks! Working well on N4. No funny connection with ES though. Did you use its downloader maybe?
Thanks! About the ES, the connection was right after the start on cleaned prefs. It can be something from their tutorial though ?
Sent from my Nexus using xda premium
The domain name www.estrongs.com resolves to that same IP 202.108.23.200, so it's something from their web site or something from their service.
However, this IP hosts many other China web-sites, so I'm still not sure what exactly they are using this connection for: http://sameid.net/ip/202.108.23.200/
nice app for monitoring apps
i can use this one :good:
Current connections tab:
is it possible to have a group option (group by app, group by status(listen, established, etc)
Is it possible to have a filter?
For example i only want to see established connection from Chrome for example.
thanks for this app

Hi,
Connection grouping is more or less made in the APP Log tab - cumulative per app or by clicking on the Chrome app in APP Details screen, where you see all IPs used by the specific app.
Filter is good - I have to think how to make it from UI side of view, as I don't want to use menu buttons etc. in user navigation.
Thanks for testing and your suggestions !
very nice, i was looking for an app like this. :good:
thanks in advance for the xda unlocker.
Searching for a long time for this kind of app...
Now I can know what app is hogging my internet...
Thanks many times

Interesting application :good: now I can see which app opening a connection and where they are going. But one question: What is the diferrence between current connection with connection log with 'live capture' on sorry for noob question.
My suggestion for improvement / feature: floating bar showing D/L and U/L rate
Sir.. Can u make it available to my country INDIA in playstore..

Hi, Your question is OK, as the app still don't have a doc-related material. The Current connections tab shows in live time all connections made by your device.
The Connections Log tab shows only accumulated data for the captured connections - e.g. you may start and stop the live capture over time.
Unfortunately the D/L U/L rate is not available per IP, as the app is not using netfilter/iptables logs.
