WiFi Dumpper is an Android application that offers potential access to nearby WiFi networks by generating possible password options for different networks.

Functionality and User Experience

WiFi Dumpper, as the name suggests, attempts to give its users the ability to connect to nearby WiFi networks by supplying them with a list of randomly generated passwords that might be suitable for a given network. However, the reality is that the effectiveness of WiFi Dumpper is quite questionable. The passwords it generates are random, which means that the likelihood of them working to 'hack' into someone's WiFi network is very low.

In the app interface, users are given an opportunity to input the network's security algorithm (options include WEP 64 bits, WEP 256 bits, WPA 64 bits, and more). They can then tap the 'copy password' button to copy one of the three generated passwords into the WiFi settings bar. The process itself is straightforward and easy to follow, but the end result is often disappointing, as the passwords generated are unlikely to be of any practical use.

Design and Usefulness

Once the password is copied, users can tap on any of the networks within the Android connections bar. From there, they can paste in one of the generated passwords. However, the success rate in accessing a network with these randomly generated passwords is very low, making the main feature of the app somewhat redundant.

From an aesthetic perspective, the app has a clean and user-friendly interface. However, WiFi Dumpper's main selling point, its ability to generate passwords for WiFi networks, falls short of expectations. Unless one's goal is to give the impression of being a hacker with the tools to crack any WiFi network, the app does not offer much in terms of practical use.

Pros

  • Easy to use interface
  • Allows user to input network's security algorithm

Cons

  • Randomly generated passwords have a very low success rate
  • Lacks practical use

In conclusion, WiFi Dumpper is an app that promises more than it delivers. While it offers an easy-to-use interface and the ability to generate potential passwords for WiFi networks, its effectiveness is highly questionable due to the random nature of the passwords generated.

version 2.2.1:

- Better UX/UI

- Several Bug fixes

- Updated OUI database

Potentially dangerous permissions

  • ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION: Allows an app to access approximate location. Alternatively, you might want ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION.
  • READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to read from external storage.
  • WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to write to external storage.

Other permissions

  • ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to access information about networks.
  • ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to access information about Wi-Fi networks.
  • CHANGE_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to change Wi-Fi connectivity state.
  • INTERNET: Allows applications to open network sockets.
  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
  • VIBRATE: Allows access to the vibrator.
  • WAKE_LOCK: Allows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.
