Security in Android apps
Hi,
I am Conrad
I was wondering, if anybody would be able to hack accounts on Android apps.
I mean for example we are logged on ebay or Facebook app, and we simply quit to home screen, without logging out, and also disconnect from network and again turn on network.
-To the point, Is it technically possible if anybody would hack our session, when we logged?
Of course we're using WiFi in home with WPA2, not public hotspot.
- How does situation look like with bank apps? Is it any risk when I immediately leave the app without logging out,
-But in web browser on android, on Facebook, is it possible to take over session?
-I 've found VPN app "Zenmate" on Google Play is that proper VPN? , is it worth to use it? or that is a piece of junk?

urndis
URNDIS(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual URNDIS(4)
NAME
urndis -- USB Remote NDIS Ethernet device
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device ehci
device uhci
device ohci
device xhci
device usb
device urndis
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
if_urndis_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The urndis driver provides Ethernet access over Remote NDIS (RNDIS), allowing mobile devices such as phones and tablets to provide network
access. It is often referred to as USB tethering, and in most cases must be explicitly enabled on the device.
urndis should work with any USB RNDIS devices, such as those commonly found on Android devices. It does not support different media types or
options. For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).
HARDWARE
The urndis driver supports the "tethering" functionality of many Android devices.
SEE ALSO
arp(4), cdce(4), ipheth(4), netintro(4), usb(4), ifconfig(8)
HISTORY
The urndis device driver first appeared in OpenBSD 4.7. The first FreeBSD release to include it was FreeBSD 9.3.
AUTHORS
The urndis driver was written by Jonathan Armani <armani@openbsd.org>, Michael Knudsen <mk@openbsd.org>, and Fabien Romano
<fabien@openbsd.org>. It was ported to FreeBSD by Hans Petter Selasky <hps@FreeBSD.org>.
