Edward Snowden, developed an open-source Android application Haven that protects himself from thieves.
This is an application that makes a smartphone a pocket-size security system. All you need is a smartphone.
In order to use this application, set up the smartphone where Haven installed so that it monitors bedroom, office, next to a laptop where many confidential documents of government are included, etc. Haven listens to the intruder using the mobile microphone, catches the creeping man with the camera, and detects the movement of the mobile himself using the accelerometer. Also, by using the ambient light sensor, it captures the change in the light of the room and check the plugging and unplugging of the power cable with the power monitor. And each time an application detects something, it sends sounds and images to your mobile.
For further security, notifications will be sent through Snowden's popular encrypted messenger application, Signal. If you do not need real-time updates, you can view the log of Haven's phone directly or remotely via Tor. The Public beta of Haven can now be downloaded free on PlayStore.
Mr. Snowden said "we can keep a watchdog that you can carry with any hotel, in your room while you are away" "The real aim is to make you trust the physical environment around you".
The problem that Haven wants to solve is a " maid attack " that is accessed by a computer while he is away from a hotel. No matter how robust cybersecurity through the net is made, there are neither original nor child when physically approached the device. It may not be noticed even if it is monitored private information one by one as it is not known.
In other words, the main purpose of Haven is to prevent being crafted into your laptop or other devices. Besides, it is overwhelmingly cheaper than a security camera.
If you are an intelligent attacker you can also disturb signals such as Wi-Fi, SMS, mobile data. Alternatively, if the password is known, you can open your mobile with Haven and erase the log yourself. Still, it may be useful for various purposes as a free and relatively simple security system. Is it to protect confidential information, and monitor troublesome parents and roommates.
