SecDroid V 1.1 Beta
Created by x942
Released under GPLV2
PROJECT IS ON HIATUS
New project over here
Introduction
SecDroid hardens the android kernel by disable certain binaries that have internet access or can be used as an attack vector. Some of these are:
SSH
SSHD
Telnet
NC (net cat)
Ping
PM (Package Manager - Can't install apps via CLI/ADB)
ADBD (ADB is disabled until reboot)
And by securing the TCP Stack using Systctl (Until Next boot).

More info
Why disable ADB and PM?
ADB and PM are both disabled to help prevent an attacker from being able to install apps via the command line or adb shell. Both of these are potential attack vectors. You can install apps via the playstore and GUI

x942 - Thanks for letting me know this is in the works - looks really promising. With things like SSH/SSHD being disabled, will apps (like Connectbot) still work, allowing for SSH/SSHD on a per app basis?
Does this just disable these things during the current running session?
IE after rebooting it does everything go back to normal?
If not is there a way to enable them again?
I have to assume that it's a good thing if the application wasn't able to find any of the noted application to harden.

I assume it's not a good thing because the applications are missing (which is unlikely) or they are moved to a different location

So the "hardening" is only applied after running the app and upon next boot everything should be back to normal correct?

I agree with you. Although after a manual verification the application in questions aren't located on the device in any folders Internel, External or within any of the root folder.

I also has the same issue when running the app and I confirmed the apps are not located on my device.
First of all thank you so much for the effort to keep our devices safe. Im using Droidwall to block certain programs and would like to install SecDroid but not sure if it would conflict in any way. Could you please confirm?

Sadly no. The apps are disabled by removing their permisions to execute (chmod 000). This means no one can run it. I suppose I could have it set to only allow Connectbot to run it based on UID or something. But something like Droidwall or AFWall+ is better suited for that. I am planning to add in a switch for each item. So you could for example leave ssh enabled but disabled everything else.

Correct. I have tested on CM9/10/10.1 and AOKP on both of these if it can't find anything then they aren't present in the system. Stock roms may be different. All AOSP should all be the same though.

Are these vulnerabilities dependent upon whether USB debugging is enabled or disabled?
...and will this interfere with Apps that require USB debuggin enabled such as Titanium Backup and Gemini Apps manager.

The only vulnerabilities dependant on USB Debugging is Kos' p2p-adb. The rest prevent network (remote) attacks. Some of which could be used over ADB but don't depend on it (installing malware). I have not tested with TB but it may break it. I am trying to make individual on/off switches for each option so you can only disable what you want to and leave the rest alone
I have posted a Play Store link now too!

No, you are not "safe". All the things are not located in system/xbin, but in system/bin! So the pathes which the app checks are wrong...
Under system/xbin are many many links, but the real "files" are located elsewhere! So the dev should chance his app so that it can check the right locations

I checked and scp is located in the system/bin folder. All the other ones though I cannot find. Here is a screen shot of mine.

Oops looks like I messed up and uploaded the wrong version I will fix this. Originally it did use xbin and also disabled more things (bluetooth and NFC) but I corrected this as most users don't want those disabled. I will post the proper APK With the proper paths. It's alread compiled so expect it in a few min.

I can include these I will do so in a future update.
Fixed the issue. It doesn't give any errors on CM10/10.1 on my N4. Path is now /system/bin for the binaries that are there and xbin is only used for a couple binaries that are only in that folder.
Also moved repo to github as google code is annoying. Update also pushed to Play Store.

It is a tool for reengineering 3rd party, closed, binary Android apps. It can decode resources to nearly original form and rebuild them after making some modifications; it makes possible to debug smali code step by step. Also it makes working with app easier because of project-like files structure and automation of some repetitive tasks like building apk, etc.
It is NOT intended for piracy and other non-legal uses. It could be used for localizing, adding some features or support for custom platforms and other GOOD purposes. Just try to be fair with authors of an app, that you use and probably like.
Features:
decoding resources to nearly original form

Why not? It just builds apps, not run them, so it's a question like: "Do smali can also work with Android 1.5?" ;-)
That "Android SDK installed with 2.1 platform" requirement doesn't mean, that it will build apps for 2.1 . It will just use 2.1 resources, but these are (must be) backward compatible.

Maybe much later :-/
Even if we will be able to decode it and rebuild, we'll have FC after FC. The point is: framework resources must have constant resName<->resID mappings (eg. @android:string/day must be a 0x01040298), because they are referenced by all apps and unfortunately aapt doesn't give us control over resIDs mappings. I think framework-res.apk and other system files are built using some Google's private tools.
We need to create aapt-like tool, that will use custom resIDs mappings - it should be possible and maybe not so hard, but currently I have other things to do.

does anyone know of ANY apps or mods that enable multiple user login on the Note 10.1 similar to the nexus 10 where you have your own profiles on the lock screen for multiple users?
so far, I have only found ONE app that does this but havent tried it yet: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEwMiwiZmFocmJvdC5hcHBzLnN3aXRjaG1lLmtleSJd
any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated!
Multi user login in Android 4.2 is embedded into the system at a very low level. Such a thing is very hard, almost impossible to port, especially without the source code of the ROM you want to port it to.

I've tested both ways now and in principle both go, but there are advantages and disadvantages of each. I would like to tell about the most important:
1. SwitchMe App:
i rooted the device with the above method.
then installed the switchme app and granted superuser access.
advantage:
Every user has a completely separate account on the tablet.
disadvantage:
with every switch between the users the tablet has to reboot.
2. terminal app:
also rooting with the above method.
create a new user with pm create-user Katja (my wife)...
advantage:
switching between the users is possible in the on / off menu and dont require a reboot
disadvantage:
same apps and save games in the apps
notification does not reset after switching the user. (this is very annoying)
After all i decided to not switching right now. and if i will do, i will use the SwitchME app.
maybe there will be a update to version 4.2 in near future. This will be genius with this fabulous tablet.
I hope i can help some of the users here.

So, this is a simple app to change your Android ID.
It is on Google Play for £4.99 (VAT included by Google, so will be more), so please buy it if you want, however it is attached for all XDA members to use free of charge!
This app uses the secure settings API to write the ANDROID_ID, and it grants itself the relevant permission using the package manager executable.
It has a backup function as well, as well as the ability to generate a random ID.
Play Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.liamw.root.androididchanger.
Feel free to provide feedback!
Recent Changes:
Version 5.0.1:
Complete rewrite
Material design

The ANDROID_ID that is a unique ID for all Android devices, which is null on some devices.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This app changes a unique ID, as liamwli explained -- Google uses it to identify your device. Since it may change upon installation of another ROM, you may want to revert to the previous ID to prevent several new entries cropping up on the Play Store device menu, for example (in the menu where your devices are listed whenever you (buy and) install an application or game). This tends to get a big mess over time with us OCD flashers, and this means you will have to find out by chance or elimination whatever device Google thinks you are currently on is the device you intend to install to.
EDIT: Oh, and Google's application copy protection scheme seems to partly rely on it, although there are not that many developers depending on this.

Does the Play Store rely on ANDROID_ID for app compatibility? If I change this, will I be able to download apps saying "Not compatible with your device"?

Doesn´t work on Nexus 7 (4.2.2.). Changed ID and success was confirmed, but after reboot old ID was still present.
So App is useless for now. Suggestion: inplement function to generate random (but valid) Android ID.

So how do you install something as a system/non-system app? I have three Chinese tablets that I need to "create" a unique Device ID as the manufacturer seemed to think it ok to flash all their units with the SAME ID? Are there any rules to picking an ID? What other tools besides SU do you need (i.e. BusyBox?)
Thanks!

If you have root, the app will prompt you to install it as a system app when it starts.
Check out the current device ID - it should follow the same pattern

OK, that sounds easy enough... I assume I should use the 2.0 apk and not the other two? Then just kind of pick one number different or whatever down the chain of the ID? Thanks for the help, I will give it a try!:good:

App Ops works fine on Android L. Tested using my personal superuser mod that includes app ops, didn't change any of the code that worked fine on 4.4, so one of the other methods will surely work.

The main difference is, I have baked the App Ops stuff into a Superuser apk which I have in /system/priv-app in my ROM. It's not a simple shortcut like a lot of the App Ops enabler apps.
Found via a quick Google: https://github.com/theblixguy/AppOps/tree/master/apk
Seems like this guy basically did the same thing. So grab the apk, push to /system/priv-app, set permissions to 664 (he recommends 777 which is not necessary but will also work), and reboot (might not even need to reboot).

Someone has made it(by installing a shortcut-apk into /system/priv-app/ )
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.findsdk.apppermission
There will be no difficulty for the AppOpsXposed to support L provided that Xposed works on the ART-only L.

Hello Everyone,
I have rooted my phone and am using GPS joystick Fake GPS location app from the play store. I am using a private mode within this app which helps me to create a copy of the app with a different name so that POGO does not detect it.
Everything works fine till here. I am using Lucky patcher to change the installed cloned app as a system app and it asks for a restart, after restart the cloned app goes missing.
I have no idea what is gng wrong and would need some light and help on this.
I am using a Xiaomi Mi Max
Android Version : 7.0 NRD90M
Android Security Patch Level: 2017-11-01
MIUI Version: MIUI Stable 9.2

As long as you use banned apps (lucky patcher) you will find no help here.

I was told that was one of the apps to use, I do not mind using any other apps to get an app changed to a system app.
Lucky patcher was an option that i got through one of the threads on google, but couldnt get it to work too, so posted to check if someone could help on here

You can't use Titainium backup that does it but other then that I don't know. I don't mess with things like that.
Also just be careful. They are banning people caught cheating. To the point of banning the device itself.

Use titanium backup. Saw the auto correct was a mistake. That is really the only way but even then it has been detected by the game.

Can we not make an app a system app without using any of these apps?
IF i am right does it not just move the data/app to priv/app folder?

It does but it requires root. You could try just moving it with a file explorer but no promises it will work. Normally system apps only work when flashed. Also they tend to code things to look in the data partition. So moving it to system can cause issues.
You can try a few but no promises.

The phone is rooted for sure, but moving the data/app to priv/app then when I reboot it.. the files go missing! As if it was never pasted there...! That is what is causing all the issues!

That's most likely due to the signature. All apps in system need to have the same signature. Without it the apk won't run at all.
I can't help any more then that. People here don't use multiple versions of the same app.
