PilferShush Jammer blocks other apps attempting to utilise the microphone without your knowledge. Some apps use hidden processes to record tracking audio in the background that is either generated by nearby beacons, television commercials, streamed music services or websites. This tracking audio is transmitted between 18 kHz and 22 kHz (near ultra high frequency) which is beyond the range of typical human hearing but within the recording range of a typical Android phone. To block unwanted use of the microphone by hidden app processes, PilferShush Jammer requests use of the hardware microphone from the Android system and holds it. This technique locks up the microphone from any other apps attempting to gain access to it. This technique has been tested only on user apps, not system apps. The Android system should halt PilferShush Jammer from blocking the microphone whenever a phone call is received or made. When the jamming technique is running and the microphone is locked up, PilferShush Jammer posts a notification to keep the user informed that it is running. Tests have shown that it uses 0% CPU, 0% network and 43.6mb RAM when running for over an hour. This is an experimental app made as part of research into audio counter-surveillance methods within the Android and IoT world. It requires RECORD_AUDIO permission so that it may access and lock up the microphone. It does NOT record or listen to any audio. It does NOT connect to the internet. Version 2.0 Active Jammer addition: Tones can be emitted with a carrier frequency and a drift limit with rate all constrained to NUHF of 18 kHz to 24 kHz depending on the device capabilities. For instance 20000 Hz carrier, drift limit 1000 Hz and rate slow - will output random frequency between 19 kHz and 21 kHz approximately every second. Version 3.0 Jammers run as a service: Both the active and passive jammers now run as a (foreground) service that should accurately indicate whether they are running or not. This is dependent on both the Android OS (power management) and any App Managers that may destroy running services. As this app seeks to block microphone use it is important to NOT dismiss or hide the notification otherwise you may forget it is running. Also includes a scanner to check user installed apps for NUHF and Audio Content Recognition (ACR) SDKs as well as any services or receivers. Version 4.0 Redesign Major overhaul of the design to make information clearer and to simplify typical uses of the app Android 10 (Q) concurrent audio update: audio capture policy that means other recording apps can bump a prior recording audio app from the microphone. (see https://source.android.com/compatibility/android-cdd#5_4_5_concurrent_capture ) If another user app tries to take over the microphone from PilferShush Jammer, the latest build (4.4.1) will try to restart a running passive jammer service automatically so that it complies with "the one that started capture the most recently receives audio" (quote from Android API docs). Apps that try to record audio but do not have access to the microphone will be given zeroed audio data (silence) by the system even though they may still appear to be recording audio. Notes: White noise output may not be very effective at blocking and is a somewhat annoying sound. The speaker output may not have enough amplitude to block unwanted NUHF signals - testing will determine.

Why does passive keep shutting off as soon as i turn it on. I will give a true star rating later, but I need to fully understand how this works and if it's doing what I hope I think it's supposed to do. Please help me with another issue,. Someone is targeting me with ultrasonic and or infrasonic frequency (i do NOT know what frequency) how can I get to stop, i don't know who they are. Only that they are lowlife with nothing better to do. Can't catch them.

Will there be a camera block ap shortly, also would be cool if it would show our kb data to see if our phone is leaking info. GPS blocking be cool too. 😎

This app is great for privacy but can effect your pets. It states it's a research app and it's very important research that's being done. I'm waiting to find out a little more about the project as a whole because I believe this could be extremely important research. It appears to work really well so far, if nothing else it will give you a list of bad apps that use NUHF to listen in on group conversations. My only concern is the effect it could potentially pose to animals but they'll tell you.

Does what it says on the tin and more. You can choose white noise or tone generation; passively engage the mic, preventing other apps or processes from accessing it; and look for malicious apps trying to surveil you. The only permission it asks for is to access the microphone. So far, so excellent.

if your peeps have made you feel as though you are actually cracking up because YOU -- KNOW-- that things have been altered in your phone ... This is the app you need to once and for all show all of them in writing or rather typeprint.. every single listener and remote shared to local devices like your camera. yep your camera

This is really a super amazing app, thank you so much for the developer. I'd love to give more stars, but someone who hacking my phone sometimes successfully remotely turn off this app. Would you please fix this? Thank you!
Viktor Dickinson
Good app with a purpose, but recently (for the past two months or so) turning on the passive jammer has turned my phone's audio output into a jumbled and broken mess. same with my friend's phone.
Gari Crewsen
Update: you devs went above and beyond my requests from 18 months ago. Any way, the amount and depth of info PSJ provides about each phone app is fantastic. Self check adds credibility! And thank you for the prompt reply regarding what other uses I assumed PSJ would be used for & setting me straight. Many devs don't take the time to educate uses off their apps & it's much appreciated 😁‼️
Mashea Sommers
How come after a short while it shows two microphones active? Is that indication that someone is listening in? Also... What exactly does it mean when it says passive service found, and active service found? Thank you

The plisher slush is good but can be encyption can be broken easlily and the app is self is able to be attack it self look at the pokemon go breach also you have to continue changing the volume and there no line to line security which there could be this which would be great so the the line is really secure also there a issue with the input output can be attack so that the user hear it and the attacker does not i was orginal not heating then after i had help programing it block third party nifty
