Database Info

Use of Database Applications on PDA

Is anyone aware of a good application that uses the PDA as a front end input device for SDL/oracle database application that is synced automatically over a GPRS connection (either live connection or delayed)
Looking for examples that can support an argument for developing a new solution for PDA's. Issues envisaged are graphical representation of web pages currently used and speed of refresh/transfer of data from device to database.
Significant donations promised if I make lots of money from this

At the time of the Mobile World Congress 2012 in Barcelona, Rsupport presented “Mobizen”, an application which makes it possible to the users to see and to control their smartphones since a PC.
With this application, the users can see the screen of their smartphones under Android since their PC and manage all the functionalities and the data stored in their apparatuses.
The users can connect a smartphone to a PC via technologies USB, 3G/LTE, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and thus easily control all the associated functions by the means of a mouse and a keyboard. Moreover, constantly, the Mobizen application takes in load the back-up and the restoration of the data (such as information related to the contacts, the SMS, ms, music or the files photographs and vidéos) resulting from the smartphones by storing them in full safety on a PC. This some is the size of the files or their number.
Once connected, the users can use smartphone remotely and manage all the functionalities to them since a PC, even if their mobile terminal is distant from them. If the apparatus is lit and connected to the Wi-Fi network, the users can change the password or put it not under tension by the means of the Mobizen application, which can be very useful when the apparatus is lost.
“Mobizen is conceived to help the mobile users to overcome the limited size of the screen smartphone and to use the functionalities of smartphone since their PC”, declared Mr. Hyeongsoo Seo, chairman of Rsupport. “In addition to the backup of the data and the restoration of the functionalities, Mobizen takes in load the sharing of the captured images and the vidéos recorded by users in order to optimize their satisfaction, in particular with regard to the mobile plays via a larger screen on PC.”
Mobizen will be available for Android 2.2, Windows XP and their later versions mid 2012. The application can be downloaded since Android Market or Mobizen website

[UPDATE] All Android Wifi Tools In One Place

I have done some reading and observed some Android Wifi tools which could be useful to you guys.
I know some of you guys already know about some of these apps whiles others don't.
My First Wifi Tool is Dsploit.
Introducing dSploit
dSploit is an Android network analysis and penetration suite which aims to offer to IT security experts/geeks the most complete and advanced professional toolkit to perform network security assesments on a mobile device. Once dSploit is started, you will be able to easily map your network, fingerprint alive hosts operating systems and running services, search for known vulnerabilities, crack logon procedures of many tcp protocols, perform man in the middle attacks such as password sniffing ( with common protocols dissection ), real time traffic manipulation, etc, etc . This application is still in beta stage, a stable release will be available as soon as possible, but expect some crash or strange behaviour until then, in any case, feel free to submit an issue on GitHub.
Here are some screen shots http://www.dsploit.net/images/shots/1.png
http://www.dsploit.net/images/shots/2.png
And A Walk through Video http://youtu.be/HrQl1cG2Hq0
And you could visit their website http://www.dsploit.net/
My srecond Wifi tool I wanna Show you Guys is Anti-Android Network Toolkit
What is Anti?
ZImperium LTD is proud to annonce Android Network Toolkit - Anti.
Anti consists of 2 parts: The Anti version itself and extendable plugins. Upcoming updates will add functionality, plugins or vulnerabilities/exploits to Anti
Using Anti is very intuitive - on each run, Anti will map your network, scan for active devices and vulnerabilities, and will display the information accordingly: Green led signals an 'Active device', Yellow led signals "Available ports", and Red led signals "Vulnerability found". Also, each device will have an icon representing the type of the device. When finished scanning, Anti will produce an automatic report specifying which vulnerabilities you have or bad practices used, and how to fix each one of them.
This App is Kind of a paid App. But you can get the free version from here http://zantiapp.com/anti.html
Here is a link to the walk through video http://youtu.be/tKW-XV59-gk
My third Wifi Tool is Wifi Kill
Its an application for killing wifi connections, that is preventing users on that network from getting to their websites.
I couldnt find the website for this app. (Seems they dont have any). But you could download it from
Here : http://mediafire.com/?ue5itmf89w5h4x2
Here is a link to the walk through video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtaPF6NcOeo
My third Wifi Tool is Droid Sheep.
Its Actually in Two forms
DroidSheep [Root] is an Android app for Security analysis in wireless networks and capturing facebook, twitter, linkedin and other accounts.
DroidSheep Guard is another Android app for monitoring Androids ARP-table. It tries to detect ARP-Spoofing on the network, such as an attack by DroidSheep, FaceNiff and other software.
For Some reasons, the Doidsheep[Root] cant be downloaded from their website which is this http://droidsheep.de/
But dont worry you can find it here at http://depositfiles.com/files/ektsufdkl
On the other hand, DroidSheep Guard can be found at the playstore
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...h.droidsheep.guard.free&feature=search_result
The next one is Android Netspoof
Description
Network Spoofer lets you change websites on other people’s computers from an Android phone. After downloading simply log onto a Wifi network, choose a spoof to use and press start.
Please note that there is no intention for Network Spoofer to include any malicious features. This application is a fun demonstration of how vulnerable home networks are to simple attacks, with permission of the network owner - DO NOT attempt to use Network Spoofer on any corporate or other non-residential networks (eg. at school, university). It becomes very obvious when Network Spoofer is being used on a Network, and use of Network Spoofer will be considered malicious hacking by network administrators.
It can be downloaded from here http://sourceforge.net/projects/netspoof/files/latest/download
There is another App called AoutoProxy
Description
The most complete proxier on the Market. Autoproxy allows you to use Market, Gmail, maps or surf the web even behind the proxy from your home/school/office.
It works by creating a transparent/intercepting proxier running on your phone that redirects web traffic to your proxy. Other apps don't have to be aware there is a proxy!
All outgoing traffic is captured, formatted and transmitted through your network's proxy. That means it works with market, all browsers, gmail, maps, and others.
This is App is a paid app but they have got the light version.
here is a link to it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mgranja.autoproxy&hl=en
FaceNiff
FaceNiff is an Android app that allows you to sniff and intercept web session profiles over the WiFi that your mobile is connected to.
It is possible to hijack sessions only when WiFi is not using EAP, but it should work over any private networks (Open/WEP/WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK)
It's kind of like Firesheep for android. Maybe a bit easier to use (and it works on WPA2!).
*** ROOTED PHONE *** is required. Please note that if webuser uses SSL this application won't work.
This application due to its nature is very phone-dependant so please let me know if it won't work for You
Use with stock browser (might not work with other)
Legal notice: this application is for educational purposes only. Do not try to use it if it's not legal in your country.
I do not take any responsibility for anything you do using this application. Use at your own risk
It can be downloaded from here http://faceniff.ponury.net/download.php
I will Be updating the list frequently.
UPDATE
So as i said, i would be updating this and guess what i have kept my promise.
There is this App called Intercepter-NG its another android wifi tool i find useful.
Intercepter-NG is a multifunctional network toolkit for various types of IT specialists. It has functionality of
several famous separate tools and more over offers a good and unique alternative of Wireshark for android.
The main features are:
* network discovery with OS detection
* network traffic analysis
* passwords recovery
* files recovery
Runs on Android >=2.3.3 with root+busybox
Looks better on high resolution, but completely comfortable on 480x720.
It can be downloaded from the playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsInN1LnNuaWZmLmNlcHRlciJd
Another important Wifi tool for android is Wifi WOlf
- PCMag.com Editors' Choice award winner for network utilities
If you are a network administrator or a network engineer that has any WiFi / wireless on your network then you already know that you need a good WiFi network monitoring / analyzer tool or toolkit to properly manage and analyze inside your wireless network. Without the proper network tools you have no way to determine proper functionality of your WiFi network or identify security risk that comes with having wireless technology inside of your enterprise corporate LAN. As a network administrator or engineer you already have many other responsibilities with your network such as managing servers, routers, switches, workstations, inventory management, asset management, bandwidth monitoring, troubleshooting... the list is long. Make sure you have a tool that makes your wireless network management easier!
- Active Passive Pre-Deployment and Site Survey and WiFi Analyzer network tools for wireless professionals. Works on 802.11 N, G, B, and A networks (Depends on device)

It can also be downloaded from the store https://play.google.com/store/apps/...nByaXNpbmdhcHBzLmFuZHJvaWQud29sZndpZmlwcm8iXQ..
And one more thing, The app WifiKIll can also be used to redirect web pages to a specific site.
you can do so by first knowing the sites IP Address, then u open the wifi kill app and go to settings the select rejection method drop policy + redirect to.......
Afterwards click on redirect to IP and insert the Ip of the site you want to redirect to.
Note that None of these Apps are mine and all these apps require root, also i am not the cause of any damages these apps could do to your phone. Thanks
Enjoy:fingers-crossed:
But If you have any questions with these apps or questions on how to install any of them, feel free to ask.
Thanks once more.

Network Toolbox for Android
Another great tool I came across recently is Network Toolbox for Android:
play .google .com/store/apps/details?id=com.appsropos.whois
It includes a bunch of handy admin tools including Whois, RBL checks, DNS and ARIN lookups, Ping, Port Scan, find external IP, Geo Location for Ip addresses, CIDR calculator, Email server tester, and much more! :good:

A bit of help maybe please on Zimperium's anti
I had dsploit installed and stupidly uninstalled it because now I cannot find the last version apk anywhere.
Anyway, I installed Z's ANTI. Everything seemed to go OK. My android is rooted and superuser rights were granted to the app.
My problem is that when it runs a network scan it recognizes my router but no open ports and that seems to be the end of it.
Any advice?

I've tried various man in the middle hacks on my laptop with the new zAnti. Its actually very cool

Don't download droid sheep from here (virus)!! I looked at the md5 hash and it did not match the ones of the last 3 versions (the md5 hashes are on http://droidsheep.de/?page_id=23) and also android warned me and blocked the installation
Download the one on https://forum.xdadevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=1539105 from the comment of user "Dlll" i verified the md5 and it matched the version 14 on http://droidsheep.de/?page_id=23 (verify it yourself if you don't trust me)
Stay safe

How to verify?

Free your data: running your own server (post under construction :)

So you want to run your own server, eh? Whether you want to free yourself from data mining, commercialising, monetising, greedy be-tied-and-suited media moguls or from the spiritual successors of J. Edgar Hoover and Yuri Andropov does not matter. You want your data to be just that, *your* data. While this might seem extreme to some the idea is actually not far fetched, nor is it impossible to realise. After all, the 'net and the web were conceived as a decentralised network of services. This model, while good in allowing diversity and freedom, is less than ideal from a profitability standpoint so you should not expect those who stand to profit from hoarding your data to lend a helping hand here You're on your own here.
Well, not really on your own of course as there is a metric ton of information on this subject to be found on the 'net. Everything from how to turn that old laptop into a server through using single-board computers as servers through re-purposing whatever you happened to find dumpster-diving. Suffice to say that you need hardware, software and a network connection. A separate router, preferably one under your own control, running known software (OpenWRT, DD-WRT, Tomato, etc) on stable and not to anemic hardware so it can be used to run a VPN to your phone. You'll want your own domain name as well, either one from the free services which are (still) around or something more 'personal'.
Network connection and domain
Here you often don't have that much choice. If possible, choose a wired connection over a wireless one, both for the higher reliability as well as the usually more acceptable use policies and the fact that wireless connections often change IP address. Choose a connection without a traffic cap over one which has one. Choose the connection with the highest upload rate, even if this means settling on a lower download rate - servers send traffic up the net after all.
There are many ways to get a domain name. You can buy one, of course. For a personal server this might be overkill, but the choice is yours. One advantage of having your own domain is that it enables you to keep your mail/jabber/web/whatever addresses no matter what happens (as long as you pay the registrar, of course). You're totally free here as you can simply point your domain elsewhere if you happen to move to another ISP (and/or country...). Cheaper - as in 'free' - is to use one of the many free dynamic DNS services. As long as you have an address to feed your phone and other devices which will make use of your server you're fine.
Router
Best here is to use a router which is fully under your own control. While some ISP routers might be marginally usable, these devices are often at the whim of the ISP as they can be remotely controlled and configured. This is not what you want for your network, so just use the thing in bridge mode if possible, otherwise forward all traffic to your own router. With one of the free and open router firmwares on a reliable device you can do interesting things, ranging from port knocking on the router to VPN tunnels to your mobile devices.
Hardware, storage
Power consumption. heat- and noise production are of more importance than raw power here. There should be enough memory to keep the thing from paging (or 'swapping') on the intended work load on the chosen OS. The same goes for storage: If it fits in the box, fine. If it does not (external drives on laptops, Raspberries, etc) make sure the whole contraption is stable so you don't get any sudden 'disconnects'. For a personal server, power consumption, noise and heat production (which directly relates to reliability) are - again - more important than raw performance.
OS
Any 'unix' of choice is fine here. Linux, *BSD, doesn't matter. Even MacOS would do. Windows, not so much. It is not impossible to use Windows but it is more of a hassle given that a lot of the software is tailored to a unix environment. If you really insist on running Windows, at least make sure it is patched up to the hilt and that all - and that means all - unnecessary services have been switched off.
Software
This is the interesting bit, and the reason why this message is here in the first place. On one of the forum threads here someone was surprised by the fact that I don't run any of the Google apps on my devices, wondering how I got by without Google Play, GMail, contacts and calendar sync etc. Part of the answer to that question involves running your own server, part is covered by using alternatives for the Google-provided apps and services. I would have put this all in a table but it seems this silly forum does not support those...
Commercial service: Alternative (Remarks)
Google Play: F-Droid (The F-Droid store only contains free software. It does not provide a full alternative to the Play Store. If you really want to run the Play Store but still have a notion of privacy on your device, consider enabling Google Services only when required, disabling them afterwards. You can also designate one device as the one which gets to run the Play Store and side-load apps from this device to all others. Theoretically this should be possible using an emulator on your server as well, automating the whole process and creating a 'playstore by proxy'. I have not tried this.)
GMail: IMAP to your own server, eg the Debian standard dovecot daemon. K9 or the standard Android email client on your device.
Contacts: CardDav to your own server (service is provided by ownCloud, amongst others), DAVdroid on your phone or tablet.
Calendar: CalDav to your own server (service is provided by ownCloud, amongst others), DAVdroid on your phone or tablet.
Cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive, etc): WebDav to your own server (service is provided by ownCloud, amongst others), one of the many webdav clients on your phone. There is a specific ownCloud app as well.
Photo sharing (Flickr, Smugmug, etc): Trovebox to your own server, Trovebox app on phone
Streaming service (Spotify, Google Music, etc): subsonic on your own server, dSub or Subsonic app on phone (there is a rudimentary streaming service in ownCloud as well, based on Ampache)
More will follow...

This is an interesting topic mainly because android has the potential to become non dependant of google services and I would be nice to keep personal data really personal.
Also there is a No Gapps project here in xda that is quite interesting.

This reminded me of something that happened in my dad's office recently:
http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1209257
The ISP guys configured it that way because dad wanted to run a webserver on one system, the one directly connected to the modem on bridged mode. They apparently didn't think it was necessary to also add a router betweenthe modem and the network of computers :/
Lessons:
1. Don't trust anything the ISP guys do
2. Always us a standalone router or firewall
3. Don't use XP. Seriously.

I can recommend something like this. They come with web-face, but you need have atleast base knowledge of how network things work.

Request / Suggestion for Custom ROM: Router Image ("OpenWRT" on Android)

Hello everybody,
as I couldn't find an appropriate ROM / discussion, I decided to start a discussion here as this is a forum full of great devs!
(Excuse my bad english)
First of all: my intention: Instead of buying a mobile 4g / LTE router with proprietary firmware I thought, what if I can use my "old" Nokia 8 (or other mobiles) as a dedicated mobile router.
Yes, WiFi hotspot etc... BUT with standard android with all these (unneccessary for this usecase) apps and services the battery and included data drain extremely fast.
So what if there is (or could be) an image like OpenWRT for my mobile with a security driven app package (firewall, ad- / malware blocker, VPN, ...) and without those unneccessary apps (gapps, office, ...).
I am not a developer at all, so that's just an idea as I see some advantages like:
+ re-/upcycling old devices
+ much more power than most available routers (cpu, ram, ...)
+ possible addons like using the camera(s) as dash- / securitycam (maybe in a camper: WiFi hotspot and security cam)
+ long lasting battery (using just the neccessary / wanted apps and services)
+ all in one handy device instead of using a mobile router with extra sim card or tethering etc.
+ no need for upgrades to the latest android versions as you do not need new (android) features
+ less need for security updates by "missing" software like media framework etc.
+ maybe an easy managable "private" hotel router (connect to hotel / public wifi and provide secure network to your devices)
+ "client management" with bandwith / quota?
Yes I know, there is a mobile router (e.g. GL.INet mudi) based on openWRT, but, as far as I know, just based with proprietary Firmware Addon, and a price (~250€)...
Yes, a mobile device is not a powerful WiFi Router with Mu-MIMO etc., but should do as travel router for few clients.
So what do you think? Could this be possible and maybe worth doing it as this could be a great way to reuse our old or cheap phones?
If such a ROM is possible, that would be amazing!
Thanks a lot folks!
Andi

Can you make a custom rom for nokia router G2425G-A
