Building SnoopSnitch on Ubuntu 16.10 64bit

Step A: Update the system and install all necessary packages

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386;
sudo apt-get update;
sudo apt-get upgrade -y;
sudo apt-get install git openjdk-8-jdk dh-autoreconf ant libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 zlib1g:i386 -y;
cd ~/;
mkdir Android;
cd Android;

Step B: Download the Android SDK and install all required packages

The following download link we got it from this page https://developer.android.com/studio/

wget https://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r24.4.1-linux.tgz;
tar -xf android-sdk_r24.4.1-linux.tgz;
cd android-sdk-linux/tools;
#To list all available packages, including the obsolete extra-android-support
#./android list sdk --all –extended;
./android update sdk --no-ui --all --filter extra-android-support,tools,platform-tools,build-tools-19.1.0,android-19;

You will get a prompt for a license agreement, you need to type Y to proceed

November 20, 2015
Do you accept the license 'android-sdk-license-c81a61d9' [y/n]: y
cd ../..;
export ANDROID_HOME=`pwd`/android-sdk-linux;

Step C: Once the installation is complete, we need to install the Android NDK.

The following link we got it from https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/

wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/android-ndk-r13b-linux-x86_64.zip;
unzip -q android-ndk-r13b-linux-x86_64.zip;
export NDK_DIR=`pwd`/android-ndk-r13b;
#If we do not update the PATH we will get the following error: ../libtool: line 1719: arm-linux-androideabi-ranlib: command not found
PATH=$PATH:`pwd`/android-ndk-r13b/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.9/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin;
mkdir Projects;
cd Projects;

Step D: Afterwards, we can download SnoopSnitch and all of the git submodules of it using the following command.

git clone --recursive https://opensource.srlabs.de/git/snoopsnitch.git;

Step E: Then we need to compile two separate parts of the project.

We will start by compiling contrib/ projects, that are the supplementary projects needed for SnoopSnitch to get data.

cd snoopsnitch/contrib/;
./compile.sh -t android -u;
cd ..;

Step F: Finally, we can proceed to compile the android project of SnoopSnitch.

cd ./SnoopSnitch;

We need to update Application.mk and add APP_ABI := armeabi to it.
We do this to make sure that we compile  diag-helper.c only for armeabi as the rest of the packages will be available only on that architecture.
If we do not do this and we have a processor that supports armeabi-v7a (or different), then it will only install diag-helper.so and it will ignore the rest. Which will of course cause the application to fail.

echo "APP_ABI := armeabi" >> jni/Application.mk;
ant debug;
~/Android/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb start-server

Once the compilation is complete, we can upload our apk to a device using the following commands:

#First we make sure that the adb server is running
$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools/adb start-server;
#Then we check that our device is visible to the adb
$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools/adb devices;
#Finally, we install the application to the device.
$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools/adb install bin/SnoopSnitch-debug.apk;

This guide was tested on freshly installed Ubuntu 16.10 64bit.

VirtualBox: Failed to attach the USB device to the virtual machine 29

Recently we were using a Windows 10 64bit machine which had Oracle VirtualBox installed.
At some point all USB devices stopped mounting on the guest systems.
We would get errors similar to the following:

Failed to attach the USB device OnePlus A0001 [0232] to the virtual machine Ubuntu.

USB device 'OnePlus A0001' with UUID {544e5582-9e77-4301-a538-5326cf2250c0} is busy with a previous request. Please try again later.

Result Code: E_INVALIDARG (0x80070057)
Component: HostUSBDeviceWrap
Interface: IHostUSBDevice {c19073dd-cc7b-431b-98b2-951fda8eab89}

Callee: IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}

USB device  with UUID  is busy with a previous request. Please try again later.

After a couple of restarts of both the guest and the host machines we realized that this time, a restart was not enough to fix the error.
Right before this error occurred, we had installed Wireshark with USBPcap support.
Apparently this was the root of our problem.

Resolution:

Following are the steps we followed to solve this issue:

Step A: Delete problematic system configuration.

Press the key combination Win + R to pop up the Run prompt.
Type regedit in the input box and hit the Enter key.

regedit

On the left side of the new window, navigate to the following location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-444553540000}

upperfilters

In the right part, select the UpperFilters entry, right click it and select Delete.

delete-upperfilters
When a prompt window appear asks you to confirm that you want to delete the value, click Yes.

confirm-delete-upperfilters

Step B: Manually re-install VirtualBox USB drivers (Optional)

Just in case there is an issue with the VirtualBox USB drivers, you can re-install them to be sure everything is OK.
To do that, you can either re-install the whole VirtualBox using their installer or manually re-install the driver itself.

To re-install the VirtualBox USB driver manually, using Windows Explore navigate to this folder

C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\USB\filter

Right click the file VBoxUSBMon.inf and select Install.

install-virtualbox-usb-driver
You will get a confirmation once the installation is complete.
Restart your machine, so that new changes will get applied.
Your USB devices should work as expected.


Compiling GobiNet on Ubuntu 16.10 64bit 5

Recently, we tried to compile the GobiNet drivers for Linux on an Ubuntu 16.10 64bit machine.

The version of GobiNet was GobiNet_2016-10-20.tar.gz ([download id=”2179″]).

To our surprise, we got a errors while compiling.

Solution:

Get the full project after it was patched from here: [download id=”2188″]

or

Download the following patched version of QMIDevice.c and replace it on your machine [download id=”2183″].

Download the following patched version of GobiUSBNet.c and replace it on your machine [download id=”3349″].

Errors:

First error: ‘struct net_device’ has no member named ‘trans_start’ (GobiUSBNet.c:876:8)

We removed the call to pNet->trans_start = jiffies; and replaced it with netif_trans_update(pNet); which as we can see below, it does the same thing in the end.

/* legacy drivers only, netdev_start_xmit() sets txq->trans_start */
static inline void netif_trans_update(struct net_device *dev)
{
    struct netdev_queue *txq = netdev_get_tx_queue(dev, 0);
    if (txq->trans_start != jiffies)
        txq->trans_start = jiffies;

Second error: return from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types] (GobiUSBNet.c:1692:13)

We got the following error:

             ^ 
./include/linux/module.h:137:11: note: in definition of macro ‘module_exit’ 
  { return exitfn; }

module_exit is defined as follows:

typedef void (*exitcall_t)(void);
#define module_exit(exitfn)                                     \
         static inline exitcall_t __exittest(void)               \
         { return exitfn; }                                      \
         void cleanup_module(void) __attribute__((alias(#exitfn)));

So we see that we need to update static int GobiUSBNetModExit(void) to become static void GobiUSBNetModExit(void) and have it return nothing.
