Title: Android Mobile wallet - network fee question & security Post by: coinsgod on August 30, 2017, 07:32:51 AM From a security standpoint of an Android mobile wallet, if you were to use a firewall like NoRootFirewall and block all incoming & outgoing connections to your mobile wallets while having your phone connected to the internet all the time, would that help making the Android wallet sure? As nobody can get access to your wallet by hacking it that way, they won't be able to make any transactions from your wallet. Then if you to make a transfer out from your wallet, you open up NoRootFirewall and allow incoming & outgoing connections to & from your wallet program. Then you again block all access once finished.
Also, what network transaction fees should you modify for your wallet? For example, Coinomi has the default as 0.002BTC. Can this be lowered?

This would of course require that the user was tricked into installing the malware and giving it the correct permissions, and/or that the malware was exploiting some unknown or unpatched vulnerability in the mobile OS that allowed it to use the network. Given the news about the massive mobile botnet that got set up recently... getting a user to install malware is probably the easiest route ::) Title: Re: Android Mobile wallet - network fee question & security Post by: coinsgod on August 31, 2017, 03:47:38 AM It would be circumvented by getting malware onto the mobile device (which is the most likely attack vector)... which can then read the data off the storage and send it out. If you made sure to never Root your phone, would that get over that issue? I would say it must be happening to people who have Rooted their phone as if the phone isn't rooted, it should be quite safe.This would of course require that the user was tricked into installing the malware and giving it the correct permissions, and/or that the malware was exploiting some unknown or unpatched vulnerability in the mobile OS that allowed it to use the network.
