General :: Securely Erasing Android Phone

Mar 3, 2013

I am trying to get my phone ready to sell and I would never sell a computer hard drive without writing zeros to the drive so that my data could not be recovered. I can find no way to do this with my phone.

Recovering data off of a factory reset android is extremely easy (this guy does it in like 5 minutes):(I cant post links so go to gottabemobile dot com and search for the article "Security Guru: Don't Sell Your Android Phone Until Turning it into Swiss Cheese".)

the only semi reliable way to securely erase data would be to do a whole disk overwrite or a whole disk encryption (single file deletion or free space overwrite completely fails on SSD drives).(Search Google for this paper "Reliably Erasing Data From Flash-Based Solid State Drives." This was a study done at UC San Diego.)

I realize that the newer android operating systems have encryption, but I cannot verify if it is whole disk encryption, and if it is not whole disk (encrypting all of the free space on the drive) it would be useless for files that are already deleted (or overwritten considering how wear leveling works, there can be multiple copies of the file spread out over the drive). I could do a whole disk overwrite and then load the operating system back on from download mode?

Android :: Securely Store User Data On Device?

Apr 9, 2010

I'm writing an application wherein users will sometimes make orders through it. I want to give users the option to save their billing info (name, address, etc.) so that it can be quickly restored later if they want to make another order. The user will enter a password to secure the data. Obviously I can't just put this as a file on the device, as anyone can root/find the data. Is there a built-in Android method for storing secure data that is locked with a password? If not, what is a good place to start for storing this data securely using Java?

Android :: Securely Identify Calling Application From Java Side?

Jul 27, 2010

I have a native android library (.so) I am bundling with some application. In the native code I want to verify the signer/package name of the calling application.

The reason is, currently anyone can open up the .apk file take my .so file and use it to built their own applications.

Is there a way to securely identify the calling application from Java side? This could be package name, signature or anything else that can identify the Android application in a unique way.

Android :: Pass A Username And Password Back Into A Webview Securely?

Jul 1, 2010

I have a user's name and password stored in their preferences.

How do I go about passing it back into the webview in a secure way?
I know if I do this it will work, but it just seems bad. There has to be a better way to post the variables.

webview.loadUrl("http://mysite.com?name="+username+"&password="+somepassword);

I've been looking for days and can't find anything, which make me think I'm missing something obvious.

General :: Securely Wipe Device Using Fastboot

Nov 28, 2013

I need to securely wipe any personal data on my phone and tablet.

On my Linux notebook I just zero the whole disk one or two times and reinstall the OS, with my Android devices it's a little bit more complicated.

Is there a way to securely wipe all my data, for example using fastboot?

Isn't there anything comparable to the good old

Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX

So that I can simply flash a new Android OS afterwards? Or at least for the data and cache partitions so that I just keep the OS

A method that definitely works is to just write a file to the data and cache partitions until there is no space left, but I wondered whether there is a "cleaner" solution?

General :: How To Securely Wipe Data From Phone Internal Partition

Sep 26, 2013

how to sanitize my phones' internal memory.

I have an HTC ONE, and a Samsung Galaxy S4 that I am trying to sell. I know that it's fairly easy to recover data from a wiped partition by using programs like "TenorShare Android Data Recovery", unless data has been written over them at least once.

I had taken pictures of some documents containing highly sensitive data with the phone, and would like to make sure that those documents are not recoverable by the next user.

Neither of them have the USB Mass Storage option in the settings, so I can't just use some secure wipe program.

Android :: Need A Simple App For My Passwords

Jul 24, 2010

I need to save my bank account numbers, passwords and some credit card numbers. I do not need an app that is all that high tech and complicated. I would just like something that is protected via a password so that if my phone is lost/stolen the finder cannot access this information. I tried Keepass but I didn't really like it as I was unable to change the entry fields, ect. It would be nice to have the ability to have this information backed up somewhere.

Android :: Better Keyboard / Stealing Passwords?

Jan 27, 2010

I am very skeptical about using outside programs that did not come program with my Droid. When I click to use Better Keyboard, it states that certain things I type, such as passwords can be "recorded." Has there ever been any reports of Better Keyboard stealing passwords or whatnot? I feel 100% safe with the pre-loaded software, but with programs on the app store I am scared to use anything that I enter person information, such as credit cards. How safe can this program be?

Android :: Secure Passwords In Droid App?

Mar 5, 2010

Many of my users have requested a password protection for various data elements in my database. Unfortunately, one of my existing features is backing up the database to a public location (SD Card) for data redundancy, so my database isn't secure.

So my question is two-fold.

How can I encrypt or secure a database on android?
How can I store user created passwords on the device in a secure, inaccessible way.

Android :: How Are Security Credentials / Passwords Stored On Phones?

Sep 1, 2010

How are security credentials/passwords stored on android phones? Are they encrypted or in other way secured in case of i.e. theft, or do I need third-party applications to secure my phone?For example, if my telephone gets stolen, would it be possible to easily get access to stored browser passwords, my google password, app passwords (e.g. login to cloud services).Are these in some way encrypted and tied to PIN, unlock code or other are they completely "in the open"?

Android :: Clearing Browser Cache And Keeping Bookmarks - Passwords

Dec 6, 2008

My browser got a bit out of whack (for some reason the default Google search page stopped displaying the search field). Also the 'data' was taking up almost 10MB and I'm running low on application disk space (dammit they have to find a way to let us store apps on our sdcards) Anyway.. I did a "clear data" thing on the browser, thinking this would only clear temporary internet files, but it reset everything (wiped out my favorites and saved passwords.

Android :: Best Practices For Handling Passwords / Keys In Open Source Projects?

Sep 9, 2009

In my app, I'm taking advantage of a web-based API (the Sunlight Labs API) that requires an API Key.The project is also open source, hosted on Github. I want to avoid committing my API key into the codebase.I'd be fine with creating some other .xml file of special string values, and git-ignoring that file (while providing a .xml.example file to copy into its place), but I don't know the best way of doing that with the Android SDK.

General :: Prevent Android From Storing Plain Text WiFi Passwords

Aug 13, 2013

few months ago I read somewhere that android stores the wifi passwords in plain text (seems to be known since 2010:[URL] Because I don't want my wifi password to be stored that way, I searched for a way to store the wpa passphrase. This wasn't difficult, because android usese wpa_supplicant, means I just had to find out my passphrase and replace the plain key in /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf with it. Everything still works fine and my phone is able to connect to wifi.

Now my question is: is there a way to store every new wifi password this way? It's annoying to have to edit the wpa_supplicant.conf file manually. One problem is, that it seems like android doesn't have the wpa_passphrase binary included, even if the source code seems to exist in the wpa_supplicant repository ( [URL] how to build the code (I'm not familiar with the ndk), I could try writing an app, which replaces all plain text passwords with the passphrases. But it would be awesome, if it were possible to integrate this feature in a custom rom, so no more passwords are stored plain text.

HTC EVO 4G : Phone Won't Remember Passwords / How To Fix?

Aug 23, 2010

Lately I've been noticing my Evo won't remember any passwords. For example I will log in on this site and checker the box that says "remember me". But if I leave or close this site and come back later I have to login again. It's been doing that on other sites as well. I noticed that I haven't even been getting the pop up that asks me if I want to remember the password. Any ideas?

General :: Too Many Passwords Attempted - How To Get Gmail To Re-sync

Aug 10, 2011

So my friend locked my phone out. I Knew the gmail account linked to the phone but i forgot the password. I resetted the password on a computer but when i enter the new password in the phone it doesn't work.

I tried all my various passwords, including the null and it didn't work.

I don't remember if my phone sends notifications for emails because i only made the gmail account when i bought the phone (therefore it isn't my primary account and no one sends emails to it).I have wifi connection and also 3g connection on the phone.

I am thinking the gmail account did not sync, therefore my new password isn't working. How can i sync the account, or do i have a workaround on getting this to work?

HTC Desire :: WiFi Hotspot - APNs/usernames/passwords

Oct 24, 2010

I still can't get internet connectivity even after trying all the posted solutions.

Can you tell me (viz. those of you with a working hotspot!), can you still use your browser when the hotspot is active. Just turning the hotspot on on my desire cuts the (mobile data) internet connection with the browser, and anything else!

In fact even after turning off the hotspot I have to toggle mobile data on/off & APN's to get data back.

Also which APN's/usernames/passwords do you have success with & which not?

I think my last resort is to de-brand (Tmob used on Orange) I reckon!
