I'm being "hacked" how can I stop this?

I am 120% sure that someone that I live with is hacking into phone using droidsheep (I think that is what it is called) when I am on wifi. Is there a way to prevent this without having to stay off of wifi all together? Can I hide myself on there?? Please help!

thats not an option!

Factory reset? I dunno.

Look up ssh tunneling.
Look up vpn.

Arrange with a confederate to send weird emails back and forth about nonexistent meetings miles out of town at various motels and whatnot, sending the hacker on a series of wild goose chases?

Pretty sure the person hacking your phone is committing a crime. Threaten to call the police, or actually call the police...

+100 to this. Anybody living in your house not willing to respect your privacy should NOT be living there. If you're living with others who aren't willing to respect your privacy, then you should move.

Stop using the facebook app for now and use the browser version.

Notice that the URL won't start with http, but rather httpS. HTTPS encrypts your traffic and droidsheep can't snoop in on you. Once you start using facebook's encrypted site make sure you change your password just in case and only use the HTTPS site from now on.
I'm not sure if they have added HTTPS support in their app yet, but they really should.

Wow, genius!
I would suggest kicking his ass, if he keeps doing it. Kidding aside, Jay Aristide has a good point. If you know he's hacking you and you have evidence, you should report him and ruin him.

No no, that is NEVER the answer

The BEST App"S" EVER.

This app is intended only to check security if your personal home network. Be responsible and never attempt use in a public place. Scenarios in the following text are for entertainment purposes only.
I know this has been around for a bit, but thus seems solid and working for everyone. It's Network Spoofer! Now picture this (this is being polIte) walking into a Starbucks or McDonald's and every single last image down to link ads us replaced by a picture of your favorite presidential candidate. No matter what they clIck or where they try to go every last link they can find sends them directly to your candidates campaign website! Ya, and that is just scratching the surface of what this app does. I mean I saw people get literally overly pissed off, loss of temper storming around!! IT'S TOO MUCH FUN TO PASS UP!!!
http://db.tt/2dgMlyuT
After installing the app, connect to WiFi and start it up. Root is needed, once granted it will download roughly 600mb of additional data to function properly. Once you choose your first weapon and ur ready to fIre, apply it to all devices and it will automatically identify your ip address as host and you can surf unscathed, mixing and matching pranks to adapt to the out of control, hilarious environment around you!!!
DO IT!!
Added -
Same idea as FaceNiff but free
DroidSheep - http://db.tt/r8so3Vrv
DroidSniff - http://db.tt/gqmSCovp
Easily change your Mac address to anything you like while online(good if your banned from an irc, or are need to make sure nothing can get traced back to your device via its Mac address)
MacAddress - http://db.tt/Ni8anKnG
Take over any WiFi hotspot and kill connection to all devices or selectively kill connections. Great at home too if the kids NEED to go outside and play, KILLED. Wife going on a WWW shopping spree, KILLED. you choose who uses WiFi!!!

Report it to the police. Also, make sure he actually has the file. Blackmail is a crime and should be reported.

Report it anyway. To answer your question, if someone managed to get you to inadvertently install some spyware from Facebook on your computer, they could possibly access your files.
Best bet is to verify he actually has the file. If he does, report it to the police.

It's not possible to format a hard disk through facebook,
but this person may have installed some kind of spyware on your computer and access it that way.
(did you ever open some kind of attachment from an email from him or something?? that way he could have put it on your computer)
As others have said, you should contact the police!

Well, in the future keep truly sensitive media on a storage device that's not connected to the Internet and encrypt it.
I don't know what you have that would make you "dead" but unless it's so illegal that 700€ is a good deal, just accept it.
Maybe I'm boring, but the most embarrassing file on my computer is probably either any of the Katy Perry MP3s or a picture of me in my underwear.
If you're doing illegal things, keep them on a separate machine than the one you browse the Internet and conduct frivolous personal entertainment on.
But if it's kiddie porn, forward it to your local police kthx. Otherwise, what could be that bad? Sorry for suggesting the worst - I'm just an innocent soul who can't really imagine what could be worth 700€ outside of the realm where you could just pay someone to have this guy shot.

**** just got real.
Anyway, you can report it to the police, I think it's a violation to someone's privacy, blackmailing is a crime, but if that "thing" is just somewhat illegal, maybe you should pay the price, that's what I've learned in Breaking Bad (tv series)
Sent from my ST15i using xda app-developers app

I can understand how a lot of things can complicate people's lives - I can see if they got work information that you would get in trouble for having publicly released - but in that case I would be contacting my employer first to have them get their legal team/the police on it.
I just don't keep secrets very well, I suppose - so I don't have really anything that could be used as "dirt" against me so the situation confuses me a little. If someone got naked pictures of me and published them, it's not worth 700€ to me to stop them - might as well be proud and admit, "yep that's what I look like under my clothes, crazy that we all tend to have genitals, huh ?" Though I suppose if you were entrusted to keep naked pictures of someone else (that you presumably cared about) that would indeed be a problem and a difficult situation - pay 700€ or possibly lose a relationship with someone.
Or proof of an affair, a hidden past as a porn star now that you're an elementary school teacher who lied about that past, pictures of that time you did lines of coke off a prostitute's buttocks, or video of when you paid to kill a child in a Mexican hostel for cheap thrills. I guess I'm just not cool enough to get invited to parties where that kind of thing happens so I don't have to worry about it.
@OP, if it's not this bad, I hope it cheers you up that it could be worse ? If it's that bad, er, sorry.
Google has more dirt on me than anyone who scouring my hard-drive could get. They have the proof that I'm a barely-sentient mouth-breather who Googles the stupidest things imaginable and is incapable of installing anything on Linux without a tutorial, apparently, and went on an hours-long search binge looking at pictures of baby ungulates.
Unless it's really, really bad instead of merely embarrassing, I'd just admit it myself first and leave the "blackmailer" without anything of worth. The choices here seem like either do that, pay it, or put a measure of faith in the police in whatever country this person is located. I'm not sure how effective it would be to get this person's personal information and threaten to release it and try to drum up a media fuss - would that scare them or would they just try to take you down with them ?
I'm also curious as to how they pulled this off seemingly without indication (not doubting it, just curious).

Nono dont worry its nothing illegal but it is just a plain stupid video of me that i do not want anybody to see im quite a shy person you see... meh he haven't contacted me yet back i assume he let me go away whit it...
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

I used to be very shy, but now I'm merely a private person. I learned a very good "lesson" that has held true so far - admit to yourself and be honest about it and people will respect you for that. If they don't, well, why let it bother you? That's their problem if you've personally accepted whatever happened - good, bad, or just stupid.
I have "secrets" that could potentially put my life in danger. But why let someone have that in a manner where they might not stop after one extortion - what's to say they won't just ask for more money later ? Better to tell them to piss off and then prepare myself for whatever.
Try, "haha, [blackmailers name] thinks they can get me to pay 700€ to keep this down. Well, here it is and now it's worthless since you all can view e being a moron right here, right now - go nuts"

Ad Hoc Hive Networking for freedom of speech

In these days of government intrusion, the loss of privacy, and the ability of these entities to shut down, intercept, disrupt, modify, and to otherwise stop free speech or to suppress the truth was wondering if it were possible for some guru to come up with an application that would do the following:
could be transferred easily in a crowd, which would form a private add hoc network that would allow for encrypted communications between users of the application. This application could share various types of media and could work over wifi, bluetooth, vpn, or cell networks. In areas where communications are shut down people could be able to create an ad hoc network which could eventually extend beyond the shutdown area an hop out to the internet to share the hive data or to pass on valuable news. This application could save video, audio, various sensor data (barometric, vibrational), and coordinate data and instantly share this data across the hive network in an encrypted anonymous manner so if an entity were to confiscate someone's property that information with still exist in the hive.
figured I'd shoot out the idea.
regards

@qu1nn while the idea sounds great during the times of emergency, however this hive can also be misused by the unlawful elements of the society. Is there a way the communication can be monitored while the flow continues. For eg. the content shared can be monitored while the hive cannot be itself blocked by the authorities?
Just my thoughts...

Dude, you missed th point. Such an app is for when government becomes the enemy of the people. We'll all be criminals or sheep

There is an application out there for android that is supposed to do all that but you need an apple ID and password and it goes through some servers in China before going to apple so I'm not sure it would be worth it.

Honestly, it would be irresponsible to share it. I remember when it was doing the rounds, and it did actually work but it sent every IM, sent AND received, to and from a server in China. The privacy concerns are obviously high, not just for the Android user but primarily for the unaware iOS user.
I don't think that kind of thing should be encouraged on XDA.

Yeah, that app also had the ability to download apps in the background. There was a some saying that since it went through that server in China, it could have have the possibility to steal data from Apple IDs. Like credit card numbers. Its a shame, because it did work pretty good. Hopefully since Hangouts is on iOS now, maybe someday they'll be nice and bring iMessage to us.

Another solution would be to convert everyone to android so iMessgae would become irrelevant.
