Shocking news we have here tonight.

It appears that the WhatsApp devs haven't put any security measure or encryption to the messages you send and receive.

As long as they are travelling in plain text, sniffing programs could intercept the conversations easily.

But this task has become even easier with WhatsAppSniffer App for rooted Android phones.

****Requires ROOT and Busybox installed****

WhatsAppSniffer is a tool for root terminals to read WhatsApp conversations of a WIFI network (Open, WEP, WPA/WPA2). It captures the conversations, pictures / videos and coordinates that are sent or received by an Android phone, iPhone or Nokia on the same WIFI network. It has not been tested with Windows Phone terminals. It can't read the messages written or received by the BlackBerry's, as they use their own servers and not WhatsApp's.

This application is designed to demonstrate that the security of WhatsApp's communications is null. WhatsAppSniffer just use the TCPDump program which reads all the WIFI network packets and filters those which has origin or destination WhatsApp's servers. All messages are in plain text, so it does not decrypt anything, complying fully with the legal terms of WhatsApp (3.C: "While we do not disallow the use of sniffers Such as Ethereal, tcpdump or HttpWatch in general, Any we do going efforts to disallow reverse-engineer our system, our protocols, or explore outside the boundaries of the ordinary requests made by clients WhatsApp .... ")

For WPA/WPA2 encrypted networks, if uses the tool ARPSpoof (optional).

Features:

  • REQUIRES ROOT
  • For now, there is only support for this characters:
  • a-zA-Z0-9:-()!¡¿?ñÑáéíóúüÁÉÍÓÚÜçÇ/
  • Read conversations outgoing and incoming to Android, iPhone and Nokia phones.
  • They are separated by phone number
  • Notify when a message has been captured
  • Ability to start a debug session saving all logs
  • It matches phone numbers captured with agenda for coincidences

Free version

  • Ads
  • You can only read the first three conversations
  • You can not delete conversations

***************** Known Bugs ***********************

Sometimes when you start the sniffer, your internet connection may end. To fix this, stop the program, stop WIFI and start WIFI again.
-If you activate the ARPSpoof in a very large network, the network can go slow or we can leave without Internet to everybody else.

****************************************************
