    After getting the crash issue resolved (it is now fixed), I tested this to see how it behaves by using PCAPdroid. I also attempted to decrypt the traffic, to see what it sends.

    This is the traffic analysis:

    Type Port IP version Size Status
    DNS 53 IPv4 Random >120 B Closed (Good)
    TLS 443 IPv6 120 B Unreachable
    HTTPS 443 IPv4 Usually 2.4 KB Error (Did not trust my decryption certificate)

    It sends to a random list of hosts, all of which are listed here:

    https://4chan.org

    https://www.reddit.com

    https://www.yahoo.com

    https://www.cnn.com

    https://pornhub.com

    https://www.ebay.com

    https://wikipedia.org

    https://youtube.com

    https://github.com

    https://medium.com

    https://thepiratebay.org

    After digging through the code, here is the file with a list of hosts. It also seems to randomly generate user agents, which is good.

    The developer blocked me from opening issues on all of his projects.

      now that i see that list, the app became a lot less interesting :/

      i used to use a firefox addOn that had the same function, but it created noise by “clicking” on random links starting from a user defined page

        I was about to make a pull request to expand the list to the top 109 websites, but the developer blocked me from all interactions because I “spammed too many issues” (I opened 5 and they were all legitimate). Buggy software gets multiple bug reports, what a surprise… The software (or at least the idea) has a lot of potential, but a lot of work and care needs to be put into it.

      Maybe you need 2FA on your GitHub account before you can do that. GitHub has made it a requirement for almost all the “dev” stuff.
