Skimmer Scanner: A Gas Pump Skimmer Detection App by SparkX

A bluetooth based gas pump skimmer

The inside of a bluetooth gas pump skimmer

The Skimmer Scanner is a free, open source app that detects common bluetooth based credit card skimmers predominantly found in gas pumps. The app scans for available bluetooth connections looking for a device with title HC-05. If found, the app will attempt to connect using the default password of 1234. Once connected, the letter 'P' will be sent. If a response of 'M' then there is a very high likelihood there is a skimmer in the bluetooth range of your phone (5 to 15 feet).

The app does not obtain or download data from a given skimmer nor does it report any information to local authorities.

Skimmer Scanner is free, open source, and currently available for Android available here. Please help us make it better! We are not mobile app developers and can use all the help we can get. We very much need an iOS version. Thank you!

Tag releases

Can you please tag your releases (see here), it would be helpful for the F-Droid release (Request For Packaging here). You could also attach the binaries to your releases (see here).

That's pretty easy and very helpful for those of us who aren't using Google services.

Permissions and Cleanup

Hi people !

Just few questions :

  • Why is the android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION and android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION requested ? Cannot find any use of location, so maybe you should remove it (more and more people look at permissions before installing the app). By the way, the app on the Play Store requires them too.

  • As a Xamarin dev, i would advice that you modify the .gitignore file to ignore :

*.userprefs
bin/
obj/
Tools/
packages/
.vs/
Resource.designer.cs

as all these files can be recovered or are not needed to compile :

  • bin/ and obj/ are compiled code, that should not be git-ed,
  • Tools/ and packages/ can be restored easily as the package informations are in the csproj file,
  • .vs/ is not needed,
  • Resource.designer.cs is regenerated on each build.

Thanks for this app, really interesting. Maybe i'll see to add more devices if i have any spare time/resources available.

Cheers,
Max

RaspberryPi

I'd love to see this released for the RaspberryPi!

I imagine a perpetual scan for skimmers while I'm looking for gas stations in areas I'm not familiar with.

Great idea!

Crashes

Crashes during scanning and about. I'm rooted so gathering logs is easy - any in particular that I can help with?

missing NuGet packages

Using Visual Studio 2017, an Error displayed that NuGet packages are missing. Should there be nuget.config file in this project so that Studio knows which packages to get/restore?
