[real ip disclosure] Security warning: Orweb Tor Browser - Security Discussion

The Orweb Tor Browser from the Guardianproject has a really serious security flaw. The actual ip of an user can be determined by using HTML5 video or audio elements, despite the user is connected via the TOR connection.

The problem is the underlying WebView component which doesn't handle proxy settings correctly. There's also a blog post from August 21st, 2013 on this problem. Nevertheless, the browser with over 1 million installations is still available in the PlayStore and might be widely used. The developers offer an alternative solution with the Firefox Addon proxy mobile that isn't affected by this bug.
More details are available at Why you really shouldn't use Orweb anymore.

The ip leakage can be reproduced with at least Android 2.3.5, Android 4.1.2 and Android 4.3.

Security Storage Connects to Porn Site?

In light of so many leaks of personal data, I decided to see what was happening on my phone for fun:
I used Network Connections App, which shows the user what connections are active on Android.
It turns out Google's System application called Security Storage is connecting to a Porn site url place holder, which redirects to another real porn site.
WTF??!?!?!?!
I'd recommend checking out this app for yourself.:good:

hahahahha good catch
Cloudfront is Amazon's AWS content distribution network so really this is a non-event, many things could equally have resolved to that address.
Could that be any ads in apps that trigger the connection ? There must be something had triggered it.
I guess an app was trying to store something to your phone and that security storage just responding to it.

[APK] wget - Download files protected with HTTP basic auth

Hi all!
Since 2008 it is known a bug in stock browser of Android.
As written here: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1353 Android doesn't support HTTP Basic Auth (401).
This is a problem beacuse an user can't download a protected resource. Only with third party browsers (such Firefox or Opera) it's possible to download a protected file.
So, I've written an application to download all files type, both protected or not.
The object I've used to perform the HTTP request is HttpURLConnection, for more details see the code.
The files are downloaded to /sdcard/Download.
This app require Android 2.2 or higher.

Everyone is invited to improve this code because I've written it fast, so it isn't so good.
I hope that this applications can help you
