Cracking the Android app "Cars numbers"

I recently cracked the lookups limit (you get only 3 lookups for free) with gameCIH, made it 9999, but forgot to save the int's ADDRESS..when i restarted the...

No it isn't legal and yes it is a breach of privacy. That is why the one who made it and the one who leaked the database should be thrown in jail.

100% agree with you Ayman.
Not only they expose the privacy and security of all Lebanese, but they also make money out of it.
It is unbelievable!

LebDev

Sorry for the late reply guys, but we were still laughing..

@LebDev The very least you can do is to provide an online form to allow people with security concerns to opt-out their cars from the database. TrueCaller has that option too. Given that you're not just distributing our private info, you're selling it!

Yeslamleh l lebneneh lamman ye7keh bil miseliyyet. Read the title of the post you're replying to.

Peace

@LebDev I don't care if they're cracking your app, I am not supporting them either nor support cracking apps in general. What I care about is others invading my and other people's private information, that is being sold for your own benefit. Don't be rude and please do something about it.

@LebDev: Yes, use the old argument of: "somebody else is doing something wrong, it's alright if I do something wrong as well."

You don't really think that works, do you?

The app exposes all our private information and allows a lot of problems to occur.

We're talking about ruining somebody's life here.

You don't care about that, do you?

Opt-out my car number.

I don't think it's in their interest to care to include an opt-out system... It's like wondering if there is a way to get cleaner drugs from a street dealer. The less people in the database the less money they make.

@LebDev: Ayman and Samer didn't create this post so they're not the ones asking for a cracked version of this. I'm glad you're getting a good laugh out of this but this really is illegal. Sadly in a country like Lebanon that doesn't make any difference. Ironically the only thing that would not make you laugh is if someone would make a similar app available for free and frankly I don't think we're better off then.

For those concerned, i think you should probably report the application to the government. And see how hard they would laugh,
Before this application there was also an excel database that was leaked not sure if this app links to that database,
its such a pity how easy it is to be exposed in this country.

Your app is cracked dudes and I've been using it for free since Sunday check your logs. :)

Now stop laughing and patch it.

Isn't this app out of the store already?
I'd be more than happy on working on an exploit.

ironman

Can we still get the apk? or is the app totally shut down?

ironman

"as much as i know", (am not a developer), even if you get the apk you won't have access to the DB, because it used to be stored on a server and its removed now.

Bummer, any similar app available? My dad has an old car in his name, I want to know if it still exists and if it has any tickets on it.

NuclearVision

@avok you don't know its number?
If yes you could use the isf website.

I do and I have. It was completly useless. It didn't give me the info I wanted.

Obviously

venam wroteI thought everyone already had that DB on their HD already (・｀ω´・). It's pretty old news.

Yep, I had access to it for a while too. I am pretty sure it's somewhere on one of my HDDs.
