No more HTTPS? - AirDroid

I'm using Nexus 6, Android 6.0.1, AirDroid 3.2.1
Recently couldn't find HTTPS option. Was it removed or it's just me being blind? I'm using application primarily to quickly get files from my phone but doing this in corp network, especially when Wi-Fi on a separate subnet, using plain HTTP might not be safe. I know, might sound suspicious but I just want to keep private things as much private as possible.

To answer your question, No. There is no HTTPS / SSL. Everything is sent over plaintext.
I started using Airdroid yesterday and wanted to test the security.
When I send a message from my phone to my PC it shows, in Wireshark, the entire stream in plaintext including:
- The message I typed "test"
- My device model and name of the device in airdroid
- The source IP address and port number
- My airdroid account id number, name associated with my airdroid account, email address associated with my airdroid account.
- The unique device ID and version of the app
Push data from airdroid.com to the Windows client is also sent in plaintext.
Airdroid had this message on their site when they used to support secure connections.

Hmm, that article seems to be removed.
Google cache link
Airdroid supported HTTPS in the past, however running a secure connection locally from the phone to the PC usually uses a self-signed SSL certificate. This is considered insecure and causes a warning message in most browsers so Airdroid removed the feature. Or rather they could have just removed encryption to allow for analyzing messages for whatever reason.

GeniPass is a deterministic password manager that uses child key derivation cryptography to securely derive your passwords at runtime. What does this mean? It means GeniPass uses math to "load" (calculate) your passwords rather than store them in a database or on some server. Go to the second post to see the changelog and download the apk or download from the Play Store.
It works by deriving large random number from each other until it uses one of the random numbers to look up words in a dictionary, creating your password (for why see here.) If you're interested in more technical info in this cryptosystem see the readme. This app can also be used to test the strength of the passwords you already use. It will give you a rough estimation of how long it'll take someone to brute force the password.
Your passwords will be available across all devices running this app without needing to sync any data with some server. You don't need to worry about me stealing your passwords or uploading them to a server because I don't have a server and GeniPass can't open any network connections (it doesn't have the right permissions).
Screen shots are available at the bottom of this post.
GeniPass is open source! The source code is available here.
GeniPass is "Pending Publication" in the Play Store but the link will be here soon, in the mean time you can download the apk from the second post.
As a rule of thumb this app only with on devices with +1 GB of RAM, if it runs on a device with less than that please let me know.
Download latest apk.

[APP][4.4+] DPITunnel (Censorship bypass)

Hello everyone...and sorry for my English!
My name is Evgeniy and I made android application called DPITunnel
DPITunnel is an android application designed to bypass site blocking systems (yes, in some countries some sites are blocked).
How site blocking systems work?
DPI (Deep packet inspection) systems looking for site address in all TCP packets. They try to find an address that needs to be blocked and if they find they do not allow the packet to reach the remote server.
How to bypass DPI's?
Most DPI's can't reconstruct TCP-session, so we can send HTTP/HTTPS request in some packets. Another way to bypass DPI's (it works only for HTTP) is to change host header spell or replace CRLF end of line symbol with LF symbol. Another problem is that some ISP's redirects all DNS requests to their servers and may return the wrong answer if site is blocked. To overcome this problem we must use DoH protocol.
DPITunnel's features:
Support many DPI bypass methods
Support DoH protocol
Support SOCKS5 proxy
Don't impact perfomance of sites
If you have any ideas, suggestions or you found a bug/mistake, feel free and let me know.
Email: [email protected]
Github repository: github.com/zhenyolka/DPITunnel (XDA don't allow me to post links)
