Android : Put WIFI - Droid Handset - Into Permiscuous Monitoring Mode
Feb 25, 2010
For a Computer Science Information Warfare class a few years ago I wrote a python script that ran on libpcap promiscuous packet capture files to parse out facebook chat traffic (earlang tuples passed in clear text), and thought an interesting project would be to port the program to Android.
I would like to rewrite it in Java but can't find any information about packet capturing directly on the handset.

I deranged my Orange handset and upgraded to FroYo last night using the method on this site whereby you place the file on your goldcard and reboot your phone in recovery mode (I'm sure someone knows what i mean, although I can't find the thread or explain in more technical detail what I'm on about!). Everything worked perfectly until today when I foolishly did an OTA update without my goldcard in, thus disabling my WiFi capabilities! how I get my WiFi to work again? 2.10.405.2 seems to be the software version I'm currently on.

I know there are numerous threads on here about dodgy wifi, but I think mine is a more unusual problem then most are finding.My problem is that wifi stays connected all time when it should do, but using apps that download data are all unreliable. Nearly every time I want to download something, wether it be a webpage through browser, or rss feeds through newsrob, or just to have a look at market, it only works about 30% of the time. I have to go and switch wireless off, wait a few seconds, then switch it back on and wait again. Then I can try downloading stuff.
I know I have the same problem with at least 3 wireless routers, and nothing else has the problem with any of these routers. My old iPhone worked absolutely fine with them.For example, at home I have several computers that use wifi to connect to the internet, and they NEVER have any problems with connection. My old iPhone and my partner's iPhone NEVER has any problems with wifi. I also have tried other devices (wifi webcams, etc) at home, and all with no problems. I haven't got any special settings on my router, just the factory defaults.My Hero is the only device that has any problems. Unfortunately, I don't know anybody else with a Hero, so I can't check if it's all Heros, or just mine.I'm on a Vodafone monthly contract. What are my options? Should they replace it with another Hero?

Just picked up an unlocked Milestone and I popped in my prepaid T-Mobile card and I have my home WiFi network bur for data on the go I need to use the 3G connection of my iPad via WiFi. Problem is that the WiFi network it creates is an AdHoc one and as I found Android can't connect to AdHoc networks by default. Standard on WinMp and iOS so what possessed them to do that?
After some digging around I found a guide to enable AdHoc on rooted Androphones How to connect an android phone to your ad-hoc wi-fi network | Wissam Idrissi so I spent a few hours rooting and installing the proper apps. No go though, my AdHoc network does appear in the list with MySSD : "Not in range, remembered" but it never connects. Has anyone managed to connect to an AdHoc network on a Milestone with 2.1?

I need an APP for REMOTE MONIOTRING (DROID X , 2.3.4)
Any apps out there that will allow me to access or listen to my phones microphone either via another cell phone or via the web?
Preferably an app that runs in stealth mode. Any additional features would just be a plus but aren't necessary.

What app would allow me to do this? I installed spare parts and it just tells me how many times i have used things, not the % of the battery they are draining.

in reading thru the forums i notice that most users, when discussing their battery, are using some monitor which reveals percentage of battery juice remaining. i find the stock monitor in the status bar to be insufficient. what apps are you guys using that give you the best reflection of battery %/time remaining, indicate what's been using the battery, and most importantly do not eat up battery like a hog and make it not worth using?

Mobile Nanny monitoring software now available in the Android Market | Android Central But i dont need logs, or a $49 annual bill. Id like the app to track;
Calls (how many calls i made per day/week/month)
TXT (how many SMS/MMS i send per day/week/month)
APPs (if possible, how many apps were used per day/week/month)
Emails (how many emails sent/rec'd over day/week/month)
etc
Im a numbers freak, id love to have this info to study how often i use my phone, where the usage is, and compare it to other people if possible.

I have a service which polls a server at certain intervals. I use an AlarmManager and a BroadcastReceiver to start the service. My problem is that after a certain duration, even though the WiFi is still enabled, but for some reason, my application can't contact the server. I get an "Unreachable network" error. Note that I've already acquired a partial wake lock as well as a wifilock. Here's my code for the BroadcastReceiver.
public class ServiceAlarmBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
WakeLock wakeLock = null; WifiLock wifiLock = null;
try { PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) context .getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
// acquire a WakeLock to keep the CPU running
wakeLock = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, "MyWakeLock");
if(!wakeLock.isHeld()){ wakeLock.acquire();
} Log.i("ServiceAlarmBroadcastReceiver", "WakeLock acquired!");
WifiManager wm = (WifiManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
wifiLock = wm.createWifiLock(WifiManager.WIFI_MODE_FULL , "MyWifiLock");
if(!wifiLock.isHeld()){ wifiLock.acquire();
} Log.i("ServiceAlarmBroadcastReceiver", "WifiLock acquired!");
context.startService(new Intent(context, ThePollerService.class));
} finally { // release the WakeLock to allow CPU to sleep
if (wakeLock != null) { if (wakeLock.isHeld()) {
wakeLock.release(); Log.i("ServiceAlarmBroadcastReceiver", "WakeLock released!");
} } // release the WifiLock if (wifiLock != null) { if (wifiLock.isHeld()) { wifiLock.release();
Log.i("ServiceAlarmBroadcastReceiver", "WiFi Lock released!"); } } } } }

I'm facing a connectivity problem in my IM-client for a long time already, but still can't find out how to fix it. Found a similar bug report here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2059 except PowerManager.SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK didn't work for me :(
So here is the problem: when device goes idle, wifi is being kept connected for some unpredictable time(1-20 min), but then established connection brakes and here is what i see on the ddms console:
CODE:...............
And "-1" is coming on read() from input stream or SocketException is raised. Then my app is trying to reconnect and sometimes it's successful almost immediately, but sometimes it takes more than 2-3 tries to reconnect(WifiMonitor logs reconnects again and again) with 10 seconds timeout.
Preventing some advices - yes, there is a PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK and wifilock held by my app, but as i can see this is not enough.

Is it generally possible to have Wifi Tethering turned on (creating a Hotspot) and at the same time scanning for Wifi devices? I want several devices just discover (NOT connect) each other and log the signal strength. To do that all devices must be discoverable over Wifi and at the same time discover others.
I would just need that for some specific use case..

In an effort to keep my battery from draining from dodgy apps, yesterday I installed a CPU and battery monitor called "Mini Info". After getting my DHD and going on an app installing rampage my battery life dropped to about 6 hours, and I think it was the monitor!
So I've un-installed I'm looking for some system tools that won't sap my battery life.
Can anyone suggest to me:
Battery Monitor
CPU monitor (that displays what processes are killing my CPU)
Task killer (using ATK)
A widget I can use to easily turn bluetooth/wireless/GPS etc that includes 3G as well...
Also... someone mentioned before an app that changes your settings based on your location (looks at location with GPS). Can anyone tell me what this is called and if it saves more battery than it uses?

Any applications that monitor the data traffic BY USER - i.e. WHAT generates the traffic and not HOW MUCH traffic has been generated.

I have an android application that parses some HTML, downloads an image, and displays it. I'm using an AsyncTask to do the HTML parsing and image downloading, but that shouldn't be relevant. I never have a problem when I'm on WiFi on my phone, when I'm using the Eclipse debugger on my phone, or when I'm using the emulator. When I have my phone on the cell network (even with pretty good reception), the image sometimes fails to display. I'm having a hard time figuring out what is wrong, since the problem cannot be reproduced in the debugger. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?
Update: I have narrowed it down to the image downloading function. This way my original code:.......................

Considering writing a wifi cracking (wep, wpa) auditing tool for the android platform, but I am wondering if it is possible to do without a rooted phone.
I had thought it would be impossible to run on an unrooted phone due to the phones wifi chip ignoring packets not addressed to the phone. That is, without the ability to set the wifi chip to monitor mode many of these attacks wont work. I was surprised to learn that android supports multicast packets. That is, android phones can be set to receive packets not addressed to them.
My questions are: Does having a multicast lock mean I can receive all packets broadcast, or does it only apply to packets with a multicast flag (if such a thing exists)?
Is there a difference between monitor mode and multicast? Does the android api have a system for switching channels?
More generally I'm curious: Is anyone familar with other wifi cracking projects running on android (google searches turned up very little)?
What difficulties am I likely to run into?
This question is related to SO question Is there anyway to put Android WIFI (droid handset) into permiscuous monitoring mode?

Have tried multiple versions of the wifi tether app, but I can't seem to find one that will broadcast in infrastructure mode with the new OTA update (yes I re-rooted my phone after, and confirmed root).
Anyone had any luck, and if so, what version/mods have you done?

I have a smartq t20 tablet (great cheap tablet!) running ICS, my question is, when I leave wifi on all the time, what happens when the tablet goes to sleep (not awake according to the battery details)?I can leave a download running and it would continue when the screen is off, does this mean my tablet is never going into deep sleep? Or is that unrelated?
I know the wifi itself drains more battery when left on even if it isn't being utilized but I was wondering about the CPU side of it.

I would like to know whether Android handsets support CDMA network also. Are there any handset which currently supports CDMA or every handset has support for that. Actually I want to retrieve the location information such as Cellid, LAC, MCC, MNC. But if the network is of CDMA type then will there be any difference in the API. Since API for fetching cellid is GsmCellLocation. This class will give the cellid and lac of the current network.
If in some cases the network is of CDMA type then how would location information be fetched in that.. Can we use TelephonyManager class methods for any kind of device? In this class there is no method which gives the LAC of the current network.

I just got my desire and was downloading/syncing etc., and wanted to make sure I did it over WiFi rather than 3G but couldn't seem to get that to work or wasn't sure if I had. I tried flight mode like iphone but that seem to turn off WiFi too - so then tried normal mode and mobile network set to off - this seemed to leave the signal bars showing, so phone not actually off - so does that mean that data is off?

I have systempanel installed. Where it shows your current CPU Clock speed, mine is ranging anywhere from 600 - 900MHz at any given time. Is this normal? My phone sleeps just fine, but does this mean that when my phone is awake at any given time, my CPU is still being pushed that hard? I hope someone can clarify this for me, and maybe post what theirs is too.

I am thinking about getting a mobile broadband account for my tablet, but before I do I'd like to monitor my usage. Is there an app that keeps track of this? I'd like to monitor all my wifi data usage before picking a plan.

My android 4.1.2 really turns off the wifi when in sleep mode. I see it in the battery monitor.
But after I formated the cellphone, It started with the bug of not turning off the wi-fi in the sleep mode, even when set to do it Maybe some app that I installed before has changed some internal settings!
Before, my battery was lasting almost 4 days, I not use it too much, but now it lasts 2 days only... and I have sure that it's because of the wi-fi bug.
