Oooh we are definitely not a copy cat, this is an updated version of the original code. We acquired the code from Marcel and brought it back to life!

Enjoy!

Disclaimer I Am Not responsible for the end of the world, your device, your lives or anything else that goes wrong. This is a guide to be more secure on Android.
Introduction
Hello!
This is an attempt to help users who are either very tech savvy or not. While this is a guide and I imagine some might disagree, I will take into consideration complaints or suggestions and I will adjust the post accordingly.
If you know of any apps that are not on my list please inform me I will be happy to adjust the post. (please explain why the app is useful and provide the name of it) while it mostlikly very possible to find everything in this post by searching the web, It might take some time to collate everything so I decided to make a post and put everything down into text.
The point of this guide is to provide several ways to secure your device. You don't need to use it all you can simply cherry pick what you want or use bits.
This is a suggestion Guide if anything. So naturally you can adjust the bellow to your needs.
Finally I'm no security Pro. I am a crazy man who has made himself overly paranoid after some years of learning white hat hacking. If you find something a bit to ridiculous or over the top just ignore it. Nor is it designed to scare you. Just help
Basic Stuff
Lock screen
The first line of defense! This is very basic but often overlooked. A pin/password/pattern are all great! While alternative lock screens might look good, there security is questionable. As one can get around it if they can make your system run on system apps only. While I know little about it market lockscreens and their security. Perhaps it be possible using an app such as Link2SD to make it a system app. Adding better security?
Fingerprint is secureish, but security concerns about fingerprint harvesting is a reason I don't use it. Good security system includes keeping your screen clean and buttons.
Don't like yucky screens.
Sim Lock
Enable Lock SIM card, found under:
Code:
Settings -> Personal -> Security -> Set up SIM card lock.
Simply put this will mean after turning your phone on you'll need to put in a pin to ring anyone.
Device Encryption
Pretty basic. Encrypt your data. You life. Encryption for everyone!!!
Code:
Settings -> Personal -> Security -> Encryption.
Nfc
TURN IT OFF UNLESS YOU NEED IT ON!!!
My dislike of contactless is well founded, I know a few people who have been done by countless swipe hacks. £10 taken out 6 or 8 times poor people. While some NFC or pay apps can only be used with a passcode or fingerprint which adds more security, general rule is having it turned of. Saves battery too so... Ye
Software Updates
To be fair most of the resident xdaers are well up-to-date with security patches. As most of you run roms. With security updates in them. So keep your self updated!
Applications
VPN's
Virtual private networks, aren't only useful for hackers trying to stay hidden but useful for normal people to hide their ips from the evil-doers of the world. While Vpn's are not 100% mainly because there is a gap between connection to the VPN. They are great on the hole.
Open VPN (Both Connect and for Android)
Play Store Link
This is an app that allows you to connect to the various Vpn's, while most are paid a few are free (see Note). Majority of sites explain how to connect to their VPN others aren't as simple this app also means you can make your own VPN and connect to it. Some useful guides exist below for making your own VPN:
VPN server on Android
tutorial on making and hosting your own VPN
Note: WARNING, while some VPN with a free service and pay for upgrades tend to be trust worthy some fully freemium ones are questionable. Some have been branded honeypots and although you may not worry about being logged it might still bring in some privacy concerns.
Free/Upgrade/Payfor VPNs
VyrpVPN
Playstore link
Possibly the fastest and most reliable, doesn’t share your data with anyone, and only keeps logs of IP addresses, connection times, and bytes used for 30 days. It offers 50 server locations spread across the globe, support for 256-bit encryption, and uses Chameleon, which hides the fact you are using a VPN service. It's a little pricey. But I'd always advise going for by yearly in any VPN it always works out cheaper. But there is a free option with a limited usage limit.
Tunnel bear VPN
Playstore link
I use this one personally. While it might not be the fastest it's very versatile easy to use no fiddly bits, and also its excellent value for money with it clocking in around £30 quid a year for up to 5 Devices, TunnelBear doesn't track what you do online, no logy logy of your IP, and won't whore out your data with them third-party peps. It also supports 256-bit encryption. So woo! Also has a free 500m monthly limit as well if you want to try it out.
NordVPN
Playstore Link
Possibly the most well established VPN. Some SERIOUS Encryption under the hood and they log absolutely nothing as well. Again yearly Plan is a lot cheaper. And possibly cheapest one. All rounder really also the account has a .ovpn file which is required by open VPN app.
Express VPN
Playstore Link
The service allows you to have two symoltanious connections which, I don't know, might be useful to you. They have good customer service though and pretty good connection. No logging and pretty well priced. With a 30-day back guarantee.
IPvanish
Playstore Link
They take no logging seriously! And have a solid encryption and a good price scheme. There's not much to say about this one. It's very good though.
The above are ones I personally or people I know have used, they are by no means in order. There are a number of ones that available do a good search! Always do research. Find good deals and make sure you are always secure.
Antivirus
It's still a bit of a question if you really need an Antivirus on Android. I personally say it's useful as a tool box. Most provide find my phone and so on.
Avira
Playstore Link
Test Results here:Av-Test
A great app, not too intrusive. Really useful and fairly simple to use.
Lookout
Playstore Link
I use this one personally with conjunction with another. Has theft protection and a number of other features that need an upgrade
Avast
Playstore Link
Test results here:Av-test
I use this one as well. It's a great service and very useful. Wifi scanning, call blocking and a number of other features.
AVL
Playstore Link
This is a bear bones app just for maleware scanning. Great app. Easy to use.
Sophos
Playstore Link
Test results here:av-test
Very solid app. Useful to have to protect you. Simple app. Business level protection.
The above list is from apps I my self have used and can recommend. As always there is a large variety. Search away, check tests on independent labs. And decided for your self.
Findmyphone Apps
Loosing your phone is concerning, a lost phone could fall in hands of a nice person. But then it could end up in an evil doers hand thus wiping of data is fundamental! The following apps are highly recommended and well rated.
Android Device Manager
Cerberus
Prey
mySecureMail
Playstore link
Unlimited amount of email accounts in one encrypted secure place. Password protected and Free!
1Password
Playstore Link
Having various passwords can be confusing, while the actual security of them is questionable after all having passwords saved on your phone might be concerning. But with high encryption and good security keeps all your information safe and secure!
Signal
Playstore Link
It provides end-to-end encryption to secure all communications and the app can also verify the identity of who people are messaging, as well as the what channels they are using! A really secure app, with concerns mounting about how private you really are this app is very good for security.
Applock
Playstore Link
Lock all your important apps from being prayed on. Does what it says on tin.
SnoopSnitch
Playstore Link
This only works on some phones! Be careful. It's basically a IMSI catcher.
There is another one here which in my opinion is a fantastic app and deserves support! XDA IMSI catcher
An IMSI Catcher is a great peace of kit warning against fake base stations. Or trying to scan your network.
AFwall+
PlayStore Link
A front end app that means you can set what apps are allowed to use Internet.
//While there is no support yet for Nougut for xposed: But for those running below The app XPrivacy is a must have! Really good security focused app.
Firefox Addons
But I use Chrome/Opera/<Insert other browser here>, I use Firefox on my phone, the reason being is because of the extension side. While I am aware opera has this addon ability, I will be using Firefox Addons only. Also Chrome has no extension support for mobile yet? Oh well munches out on RAM anyway.
These Addons are mirrored on Opera, if you prefer Opera, I'm sure you can find the same addon or one that works similar.
Bluhell Firewall
Addons Link
Lightweight Ad-Blocker and Tracking/Privacy Protector.
CanvasBlocker
Addons Link
Blocks the JS-API for modifying to prevent Canvas-Fingerprinting
CleanLinks
Addons Link
Converts obfuscated or nested links to genuine clean links.
Decentraleyes
Addons LinkThe aim of this add-on is to cut-out the middleman by providing lightning speed delivery of local (bundled) files to improve online privacy.
Disable WebRTC
Addons Link
WebRTC leaks your actual IP addresses from behind your VPN, by default.
HTTPS Everywhere
Addons Link
enabling HTTPS encryption automatically on sites that are known to support it
Privacy Badger
Addons Link
Better Privacy stops ads and invisible trackers
Pro Latte Content Filter
Addons Link
Block sites containing pornography, or any other kind of material, based on simple keyword lists.
Self Destructing Cookies
Addons link
BOOM!! GOES THE COOKIES.
//Optional
Less spam, please
Addons Link
Disposable Emails. Great for them pesky sites that ask for emails the spam you with rubbish
Ad Block plus
Addons Link
Does what it says on the tin. There are Addons that block pages from saying you have an ad blocker.
Secure Mail Providers
Why more people don't use secure encryption emails is beyond me sometimes. But regardless it's something I'd strongly recommend! Tell your friends too, and family! Get your dog on them. While there are a number available the following are ones I've used or still continue to use!
Proton Mail
Lavabit.com
hushmail.com/
vfemail.net/
Proton Mail is the main one I use anymore. It's an excellent app and great service with double log in and encryption. Like your emails in a double safe. Do note! If you forget your password, it will turn your emails into plonk and be completely useless.
Thank you for reading this post! I really appreciate it, I put this together just so people can be helped there is no one place. My hope is to turn this into quite a buzzing post, I'd like to constantly update it having it a great go to resource for your needs. Give me a thanks for my hard work if you think it's deserved
Warning: The following is not for Amateurs or new to XDA, you MUST be running a LinuxGNU interface! This is extra security usually set on PCs, and may work depending on your interface.
A Tad too Paranoid
Ipkungfu
Open up your terminal running in your Linux IDE.
Input :
Code:
sudo apt-get install ipkungfu
Next we need to configure the file there are two ways to do this way 1 you can configure in the terminal with "Nano" :
Code:
sudo nano /etc/ipkungfu/ipkungfu.conf
Or move it to SD card, open with your favorite text editor then move back like so:
Code:
mv /etc/ipkungfu/ipkungfu.conf /sdcard
Then to move back:
Code:
mv /sdcard/ipkungfu.conf /etc/ipkungfu
Once you have got the config file open you want to un comment and adjust accordingly to your needs. Here is an example of what you can change:
Code:
# IP Range of your internal network. Use "127.0.0.1"
# for a standalone machine. Default is a reasonable
# guess.
LOCAL_NET="192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0"
-------
Code:
# Set this to 0 for a standalone machine, or 1 for
# a gateway device to share an Internet connection.
# Default is 1.
GATEWAY=0
-------
Code:
# Temporarily block future connection attempts from an
# IP that hits these ports (If module is present) FORBIDDEN_PORTS="135 137 139"
-------
Code:
# Drop all ping packets?
# Set to 1 for yes, 0 for no. Default is no.
BLOCK_PINGS=1
-------
Code:
# What to do with 'probably malicious' packets
#SUSPECT="REJECT"
SUSPECT="DROP"
-------
Code:
# What to do with obviously invalid traffic
# This is also the action for FORBIDDEN_PORTS
#KNOWN_BAD="REJECT"
KNOWN_BAD="DROP"
-------
Code:
# What to do with port scans
#PORT_SCAN="REJECT"
PORT_SCAN="DROP"
These are just a suggestion, adjust to your needs!
Once you've done and moved back or saved the nano, (to save use ctrl+X) everything should be done. Now type in:
Code:
sudo ipkungfu
Jump on over to shields Up and see something Coolio. Hopefully.
Snort
This is intrusion detection, have a look at seeing who's been at your door, this is a basic configuration. To set this up. We simply type:
Code:
sudo apt-get install snort
Once that's done type:
Code:
snort -D
All done, you can view live packets like so:
Code:
sudo snort
Or view logs:
Code:
sudo nano /var/log/snort/alert
~ More May be added soon

[GUIDE] Paranoid Security For Android

Reserved

Please, go on.

Thanks for this guide. I now have my device encrypted. On Marshmallow it does not explicitly say that my SD Card is also encrypted (its formatted as internal storage) but according to articles out there actually it is.
Yes, I don't know why email encryption is not more widely adopted. For personal every day emails "Hi, how you doing ? Had a great day?" kind of thing maybe that's not the most sensitive info. But what if it contains a meeting place to go and pick up your child at and you are late ? Paranoid ? In today's world ? But what about actual sensitive data. I'm talking about charities that help victims of abuse. The Samaritans. Other organisations that help victims of child trafficking. I once volunteered for an organisation that helped people illegally pursued by a government run organisation. I eventually found out that they had no, I mean ZERO, ZILCH security policy yet they were holding sensitive details about individuals who were in danger. After failing to get their board of directors to change things I resigned from the organisation. So anyway back on topic ... I just checked cPanel and my host does allow "GnuPG" encryption on email. So when I've figured out how to set it up and use the appropriate app on my device (starting with list above of course) I come back here.

Awesome guide. I know this thread is a couple years old but still applies.
Anyone have any opinions or comments about Proton VPN? I see the Proton mail is on the list which I also use. Just curious about the VPN.
