Good day all. I'm new to IT Security and am just getting familiar with a lot of what goes on in the field. I recently was introduced to Maltego but from videos I have watched, I am not able to get successful outcomes. I am trying to use Maltego to identify if a given IP address possesses indicators of malicious intent as it was recently blacklisted. Really would appreciate any guidance given. Thank you.

Hello,
I'm not a developer, just a desperate user who is *very* concerned about my smart phone (HTC Rezound-Verizon) being intercepted. I've noticed software is available which allows interception of text/calls/emails/location/ and even web browzing history.
I posted on Android Forums (another list, not here) and did not receive an answer. Verizon indicates that it is not possible. However, someone did direct me to XDA, which I feel is my last chance to find a answer and help. I've searched the internet for months now. All I can find is ads to software which indicates interception is possible.
I've been hesitant to post here for fear of posting in the incorrect place. I searched but did not find an answer, so I'm pleading....please, someone tell me.....
Is it possible to intercept my phone? If so, is there a way to know if it's being intercepted. Most importantly, is there a way to protect my phone? Again, I'm not a developer, so I hope if there's something available, it wouldn't require manual programming.
Thank You!!
Hello everyone,
I have been developing an application that registers several prices, such as combustible, food costs etc...
Now I was asked in the intercourse to create an app that the admin connects to a certain database AND another one that makes his phone, the admin, that can see what his employees have made in the first application I made.
I honestly have no idea what to do, I'm almost panicking cause the boss of this company I'm working now, as my internship demands and screams alot. I can't find anything useful in the internet so I thought if someone that knows this can help me, please? I depend on you lool..
Thanks!
Hi all,
My name is Fabian, and I have a strong background in C. (Done a CS course in C).
I want to do an Android app for my final project(nothing too fancy or complicated but I have to at least have some interface ) and I'm a little stuck with how to proceed from here.
I watched the Java essential course on Lynda and I did understand a little the difference between C in Java, however I don't know how to proceed from here to actual Android development.
If anyone can recommend me finding a crash course, a book or any other resource that could get me up and running as soon as possible, I would really appreciate it.
I don't mind spending money on it.
Thanks in advance.

A great resource for Android development is the official Android training documentation from Google, as well as these tutorials. Let me know if you still have questions I'll be happy to help.
thanks little question regrading databases

Hi,
Thanks for your help I learned a lot and I'm already planning my app
I just have one question that could really help.
I want to make an app where people on different devices can interact and send each other tasks. I guess I need a kind of SQL server that supports Android, right? Is there a better or at least more economic way to do it if I will have around 1000 users where each one can add people to send tasks to?
Many thanks,
Fabian
And one more question
Is there any way to do a phone number authentication (like Whatsapp) instead of user name and password which I think is a little to tedious for my planned app ?
Thanks in advance
Hola, for the task sending. Would you like to make all task public? Or should you send it like a message?
But when i need access to a server, i use php scripts. But we can take that later, when you have answered my last question
For the phone number authentication, you have to have a online database, with all phone numbers. User inserts their phone number, the first time they starts the app. Then you can retrieve it from the database. But we can also take that later.
I´m glad if i helped.
(Sorry for my bad english.. )
Hola
Well I want it to be like a manager that gives a task to his employee. I want the task to be between them and only they can close it.
Likewise, it would be a problem if I make a simple phone number insertion if there's no validation. I was thinking about a number verification (like whatsapp) to prevent other people from accessing the tasks.
Do you think it's possible or should I go with username and password?
Thanks

I am using OpenShift - https://www.openshift.com/developers - which is a open source cloud architecture in that they offer packages like NodeJS and DB's. They allow you to have 'gears' which I guess is their name for services running on their cloud. The free account has 3 gears.
I currently only have a NodeJS server running to deliver files however (as far as I understand it) you can have MySQL and others as a backend. I would think that whatever devices you develop on would simply log into the DB and look up messages/tasks etc. I would also think that your app could insert those things. The best part is it is free until you reach Enterprise level or so. I would check it out since free is good. Offhand, I do not know what DB's Android supports via java but MySQL is probably one of them.
Just some info for you to examine.
Good luck
Hola, of course its possible! But maybe Username and Password is easiest.
You can use e-mail validation.
I actually worked on a application, there store products in databases. So i have tried it before. Ask if you are confused
And Sum1nil, sqlite is implemented in android, so for local database, use sqlite.
But for online database access, i use php
Does a comprehensive and plain english list exist anywhere that tells who is who and why they have a security certificate installed on my android phone?
I've asked this before and never found an answer. I find it odd that it isn't questioned and recently when installing FoxFi, it was made more poignant when many became up in arms about the FoxFi cert and the notification that some unknown entity could be monitioring activity. FoxFi is pretty clear about why that cert is there and I can't say that for the factory installed ~200 certs.
Also, is there a comprehensive list anywhere that tells what factory installed and system apps do? Many have very obscure names and even names which are quite misleading upon actually discovering what they really do. I'm sure I can't be the only one that would like to know exactly which apps are safe to freeze, disable or uninstall and upon doing so, what functionality will be lost or what other apps will no longer work, if any.
I think Google needs to step things up in these two areas so people can actually know. The work in the area of app permissions is a step in that direction, but, still a long way from full and forthright disclosure aimed at educating all android device owners.
Thanks for any direction you can provide.
Hmmmmm.... its merely about the desire to know why every android I've owned for coming on ten years now has security certs installed belonging to the DOD, Japanese Government, Experia, Equifax and many more that I have no idea who they are unless I want to research each and everyone of them. Even doing so in most cases still doesn't reveal why those entities have a cert on my phone and what it actually means. I wonder what happens if they are removed and why they are there in the first place.
As far as the many pre-installed apps that I can't imagine many people having a clue as to why they are installed or what they actually do, well, that kinda speaks for itself as well.
Nobody else wonders or does everyone else but me already know?
However, in the mean time, I'll refine my quest to changing permissions and any insightful threads on that for dummies would be appreciated.
Thanks
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Unfortunately I can't find anything relating to your question on XDA, it's probably best to ask here:

No response in two days, thread closed.
Hi all,
Firstly I'm sorry for posting a question here for what might seemingly be a simple task, however despite googling and researching for about 2 weeks I'm no closer to my goal.
I'm building a car dash using a nexus 7, and using kustom live wallpaper to create a unique frontend. Everything is going well however I am struggling with one thing...
I want to keep GPS on (no problem) which constantly grabs my location (no problem). I then want to set my location to a variable which is then pushed via tasker to KLWP (again, no problem!). My problem is that it outputs the WHOLE address. This is a problem. I've managed to get it down to displaying just the house number and the street name, however I want JUST the street name, eg King Street or Queens Avenue.
The idea is that while I'm driving along the road name is automatically displayed.
How on earth can I do this? My knowledge of tasker and variables is very limited and I've only been able to get this far by messing about with various settings but doing this for 2 weeks and not getting any closer is beyond frustrating. I know what I'm trying to achieve is not impossible which frustrates me more.
Guys and girls, I'm extremely grateful for any help or guidance.
Lastly, sorry for the whole 'new account 1 post which is a question' vibe. I've been coming here for years with a different account but I couldn't remember the password, and password reset returned a 404 page :/
Thanks again
Antony
