This is so so sad, :( I’ve been using Mull for quite some time and recently Hypatia. I guess time to move to fennec since I doubt there’s a fork in the horizon, :(
Damn, why?
I found this: https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/the-end-of-divest/23396/43
I’ve worked on this project a decade. That is a long time and I need to move on in life.
Sounds like a single person maintaining such a large project for such a long time means eventually you have had enough. I get that.
As a Carrion user this is very sad, I wonder if there’s something else to replace it
Does anyone know a good alternative for Hypatia?
No, and simply somebody that know what they’re doing should pick it up. I’d certainly be willing to donate a little, just as I donated to the original project.
The FOSS Android world has a new music player every week, and apparently still only one antivirus.
Antivirus on Android? How does that work? Warden seems a better idea to me.
Hypathia uses the same method as clam-av. It hashes all the files and compares it to a known database of malware. It’s a lot faster than whatever Avast is using.
Unsure how reliable this is for other attack vectors, but amnesty Intl has https://github.com/mvt-project/mvt for known Pegasus signatures
Note: this is ran on a computer and scans via adb
thanks for all the hard work to the dev! guess i’ll move from mull to firefox nightly then.
I’m a newb, what’s connection between DivestOS and Mull here? I thought DivestOS was a Linux distro.
DivestOS is a modified version of Android. Mull is an Android browser, fork of Firefox, maintained by the Divest dev.
He mentions that “DivestOS and its apps will not receive any further updates”, and only mentions continuing non-app projects, so I guess so :(
