Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Is your HTTPS traffic being spied on? Is there a hacker near you? Is your employer watching your traffic? This is the fastest way to check. This app will check the SHA fingerprint of the SSL certificate as seen by the Android device and will compare it to the fingerprint of the same website as seen on an external network. It will catch a case of a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) listening in to your HTTPS encrypted browsing. This convenient tool does not require you to record certificate fingerprints. It handles everything for you including checking on a different network. You get an immediate answer to the question of spying. A Brax.Me Cybersecurity Tool created by Rob Braxman.

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Catch the Man-in-the-Middle APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 94a8179b1ce23312c76af812ebcd8865.
