GrapheneOS

Kali NetHunter

GrapheneOS has a reputation for currently being one of the most secure and private solutions possible for a phone. Naturally upon hearing about it I had to check it out. Here’s a list of the currently supported devices as of the end of Febuary 2021.

I’ve improved my Nethunter setup quite a bit as well so thought an update was due.

GrapheneOS

With some time into it grapheneOS can really increase anonymity, privacy and security, without the cost of massive functionality. I currently have mine setup with an always on VPN, end to end encrypted communications, tor browser and the ability to switch from VPN to Orbot and proxy all traffic over tor. Permanent add blocking and hardened browsers. Off-line maps so location data and gps can be turned off without losing navigation capacity. Peer to peer decentralized file synchronization along with IPFS-lite.

guardian project/haven

The guardian projects repository can also be imported to whichever FOSS android market you prefer, and though tangential to graphene their application Haven is pretty cool.

https://github.com/guardianproject/haven

Configured with Orbot and your signal account Haven is a multi sensor security system which will securely text you if alarmed as well as having its own onion service you can login to. Haven uses many of the phones sensors to keep real time awareness of its environment, such as picking up any sounds, vibrations, changes in light or movement. Triggering the alarms starts recording from the interfaces and sends an encrypted text via signal. All of these sensors can have their sensitivity adjusted to prevent false alarms. Some of them can be very sensitive without dialing it down. I recommend calibrating it a bit ‘live’ else you might come back to a phone with 100% full data of videos like myself while testing it.

  • A plethora of WEP attacks
  • WPA Handshake Capture and offline crack
  • WPA PMKID Hash Capture and offline crake
  • WPS Brute-Force PIN attack
  • WPS offline Pixie-Dust attack
  • WPS offline NULL PIN attack
Viewing the phone horizontally is a must, I usually use a little blue tooth keyboard.

with an anker adapter and another AP we have a remote implant, an extra battery can be paired for extra life; and of course a stand on the coffee table may not be ideal
  • WIFI signal jamming [additional antenna via usb needed]
  • Implant and use all the tools with remote access over ssh

In this accelerated screen recording wifite is enabled by disconnecting from any networks, switching the firmware and then starting the program on interface wlan0 (index 0 the first WiFi adapter, the onboard WiFi chip. Wifite automatically scanning for a few seconds capturing a list around 150 potential targets, then Initialize an attack against against a personal WiFi network I started for the purpose.

Lets improve it. What’s?

With all the fantastic work on Rucky I couldn’t leave they/them out.

The source code: https://github.com/mayankmetha/Rucky

You can download Rucky directly from the NetHunter app store. Of course this is all FOSS. You can download the NetHunter app store from :

https://store.nethunter.com/en/

And conveniently check the pgp signature via QR code to when downloading before install. Rucky does require root and a USB HID patch for use.

At https://ducktoolkit.com/ on your phone or any browser you can select from an array of payloads based upon your target, encode the payload, disguise the signatures on your device and load it straight into the app, Rucky. These tools are almost getting easy to use but the barrier of the difficulty to getting this setup in the first place and customizing/configuring it for use seems to still be keeping at bay hoards of teenagers who might otherwise in their lack of experience attempt to use them nefariously.

Recounting Recent: Lucid Flight

Lucid Dreaming app for Android

Lucid Flight is an android app I wrote in Kotlin to assist in lucid dreaming. I’m working on an iOS version in swift and plan to add both to their stores once leisure allows some refinement. The source code is private so the following shows functionality and demonstrates concept.

Lucid Flight app icon | Flying after ‘waking up’ is a quintessential lucid dream

Lucid dreaming has become pretty well known recently but to briefly summarize, it is realizing that you are dreaming while you are dreaming. Given that we sleep for about one third of our lives, gaining the ability to be conscious during our sleep greatly lengthens and enriches our lives. Lucid dream research and scholarship continues being published.

LaBerge, Stephen, et al. “Lucid Dreaming: Physiological Correlates of Consciousness during REM Sleep.” The Journal of Mind and Behavior, vol. 7, no. 2/3, 1986, pp. 251–258. JSTOR, www.jstor.org/stable/43853217. Accessed 22 May 2020.

The benefits of lucid dreaming are far vaster than I want to go into here but suffice it to say that it is awesome, in the literal sense of the word. I chose the name and icon because flying once lucid is one of the most common and most exhilarating experiences.

All the incomplete lucid dreaming devices of recent years inspired me to create this. Several have gained full funding on Kickstarter and similar platforms and never released a product. Starting at $200+ dollars makes them cost prohibitive to many as well. Better to use the phone and (hopefully) fitness tracker we already have.

Basically they are masks or devices that take readings from your body in order to determine when you enter the dream stage of sleep. The devices then trigger signals to your dreaming body that you can learn to recognize within the dream state and use as cues to realize you are dreaming.

“[…] dreaming can be viewed as the special case of perception without the constraints of external sensory input. Conversely, perception can be viewed as the special case of dreaming constrained by sensory input.” -Stephen LaBerge

Integration with google fit api’s heart rate data provides data for the apps prediction of REM entry

Some of the Lucid Dream devices use EEG brain signals, some watch for eye movement with sensors over the eyes. Lucid flight predicts REM with heart rate data. Ouraring has an image showing precisely how in their article on heart rate while sleeping.

Resting heart rate curve

https://ouraring.com/heart-rate-while-sleeping

Ouraring ignores the sharp peaks in sleeping heart rate for this curves abstraction but the sharp peaks are exactly what lucid flight looks for. Spikes in heart rate are from entry into dreams.


The strategy is to predict REM then signal the sleeper they’re dreaming but not so loud it wakes them completely. Most use lights and some also use sound. The app allows users to customize their dream alarm. The highly customizable alarm allows users to find the sweep spot between waking and being easily recognizable within dreams. Like how shining a flashlight on a dreamers face can trigger the appearance of an oncoming train if it doesn’t wake them.

Heart rate data is in a scrolling view above min, mean, and max for testing adjustments to the REM prediction algorithm.

The middle toggle activates dream detection mode. The bottom three toggles control whether the alarm strobes the flashlight and screen brightness, plays a recorded sound or default tone, and third whether the alarm causes vibration.

Options allow users to record a custom message which the alarm plays back. As well as changing alarm length and previewing the alarm.

Lucid dreaming is very difficult for most people and learning to recognize dream signals while you are dreaming is hard. Nonetheless, having some software and hardware’s help can seriously accelerate the learning curve.


The biggest predictor of successful lucidity is a strong motivation to learn. To that end the app home screen displays inspirational messages about lucid dreaming.
