My Wifi Passwords vs PilferShush Jammer
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
My Wifi Passwords
Have the Wi-Fi connected on your Android phone and want to share its password with your friend or enter it in your laptop? Don't know where to find that piece of paper? If your Android phone is rooted, this app makes your life much easier! This app reads wpa_supplicant file (by default in /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf) and provides you a list of Wi-Fi SSIDs and PSKs (passwords). This is specially useful when you have a guest at home or in office and you want to share the password with. Or when you're in a new hotel, just got the Wi-Fi password from reception and want to share it with your companions. Or when you're in a party. Or... the possibilities are numerous. You don't have to open the wpa_supplicant file yourself and try to find the information you're looking for in it. My Wifi Passwords does this for you.
PilferShush Jammer
Features a passive jammer technique that engages the microphone thereby blocking other apps from using it. But does NOT listen to or record any of the audio from the microphone. It uses 0% CPU and no noticeable battery use. However is not intended to be left on permanently due to the variety of triggers that can cause audio_focus_state changes (VOIP etc). Also features an active jammer that emits tones constrained to the NUHF range of 18 kHz to 24 kHz range. User determined carrier frequency and drift limits with rate for random tone emissions depending on the device capabilities. For instance 20000 Hz carrier, drift limit 1000 Hz and rate slow - will output random frequency between 19 kHz and 21 kHz approximately every second. Audible artifacts are present during the NUHF tones but this may be changed in a future release. Experimental white noise output may not be very effective at blocking and is a somewhat annoying sound. The device speaker output may not have enough amplitude to block unwanted NUHF signals - testing will determine. * Manual start * Notification post when running * Auto stop and restart when telephony interrupts * Currently relies on audio_focus_state changes for auto-switching * Active jammer
