Fake Hotspot Detector -AntiSpy

This App will Detect all types of FAKE WIFI HOTSPOTS

This "Fake Hotspot Detector" makes use of Geolocation to associate each Detected WiFi Hotspot (i.e. Network) with a particular WiFI Zone

A WiFi Hotspot with a given name (SSID) can be Whitelisted in One Zone, but warned about in another Zone

This app will Warn you if your Phone Connects to a WiFi Network that you have NOT (previously) Whitelisted in the Current WiFi Zone

There are three categories of WiFi Hotspots you should be concerned about:

1. All "Free WiFi Networks", as found at Airports, in Hotels, Restaurants, etc.

These are Open Public WiFi Hotspots that you knowingly may connect to yourself.

2. A "Free WiFi Network" that you have logged onto before.

When your Phone "sees" this again, it will Automatically Connect to it again - without your knowledge or consent.

3. Hotspots set up to mimic one of your normally used WiFi Routers. Also called "Honeypots".

This type of Hotspot will present itself to your Phone with the same Names as those WiFi Routers that you have previously been Connected to

Examples of this type of Hotspots are the American "Pineapple", and probably also the "InterApp" Surveillance System made by the Italian firm RayZone, which is offered to Governments and Law Enforcment Agencies - to spy on us

When your Phone "sees" such a Hotspot, it will Automatically and Silently Connect to it

This unwanted behavior is caused by shortcomings in most WiFi Systems and Phones

Fake Hotspots are used by Hackers and some Government Agencies - to spy on you

All Types of Fake Hotspots are set up to "listen in" on your Internet Communication, and e.g. try to detect your Passwords, etc.

This App will Detect - and Warn you - when your Phone Connects to a Fake Hotspot of Type 2 and 3 above, enabling you to DISABLE the Connection

For a more simple Protection against unwanted WiFi Hotspots, you can optionally configure the App to Disable WiFi outside Whitelisted Zones

When your Phone connects to an Unknown WiFi Hotspot (or a normal WiFi Router), you will be Alerted by the Red Warning Screen - and an Alarm Sound

If you are Alerted by one of your normally used and Known WiFi Routers, you should WHITELIST it
