*UPDATE* As of around 10pm eastern we are back up live on namecheap!    Byebye Godaddy, lets hope this is a bit more stable….

New Features:

• Check for updates! Now you can check that you are on the latest version.  Pro users have the option to get the latest beta versions as well right from the oven!  See the FAQ page for information on how update check works (TL;DR its a check only when you initiate it for latest version # – no personal info is gathered)
• Filter Installed Apps- An easy way to filter apps by permission.  Known threats are color coded to be easily visible. See what app uses contact list, sms, location,  what is running in background and more!  Note binaries are also able to be returned without get_task permissions
• Encryption Tools- starting version 13 I will be jumping into playing with encryption.  Currently only string encoding/decoding of base64/32 & hex is supported.  Password based encryption PBEWithMD5AndDES supported as well.  Files planned for future release.

Enhanced Features in Version 13:

• Compatibility – This is a big one this build.  Android versions down to 2.0 are now supported.  Better Samsung detection for phones that use /dbdata.  More layouts wrapped in scroll containers for smaller screen devices.
• Removal Engine – More universal removal options, better detection in scanning.

Head on over to Logging Test App Downloads to grab version 13 now!

New features in version 12-

• Scan for hidden UIs – This will find anything you are able to start that does not have a launcher icon!  Just long hold on the activity to start it.  Great for finding hidden menus, options and programs lurking in the background.
• Find Running Apps- shows a list of ALL applications (including “hidden” system processes) running in background.
• Location cache control- Find & display (and disable for PRO users) multiple databases where location is contained.
• Flash Shared Object Cache control- Find (and remove for PRO users) where flash “sticky” cookies are stored on your device

Enhanced Features in v12-

• New UI!- popups, confirmations and inverted theme!
• Detects more adware/push advertisements/sms spyware activities!
• Enhanced opt-out process for known adware vendors
• More logs detected!
• More control for pro users – Option to re-enable some processes after disabling!
• New HTTPs sites added- Browsers known db is beefed up with more HTTPs sites for security!
• Android ID support updated- Change your Android Unique ID & Hostname supported on more roms

Head on over to the XDA Fourms for download & more!

We are now able to see sets of metrics sent from phones. The problem is right now we only have default profiles. The EFF is looking to collect as many profiles from as many different devices as possible trying to find real metrics being “sent home”.

I have started a thread over at XDA explaining what the EFF is looking for if you are looking for instructions -

Please try to help them out any way possible!

I would like to to take the time to thank everyone at the EFF for protecting rights of average joes.  Anyone who believes in privacy, security research, free speech, or even just enjoys the right to root/jailbreak their devices may not realize how much the EFF helps you directly every day.  To me it became abundantly clear when they were waiting arms open to provide help and to that I am eternally grateful. Free Speech + discussion about real problems and the right to our security are something that should never be taken away.
