Extract server url from my providers app

by scudbook

My provider has his own branded version of XCIPTV and has hidden the server url. I'd rather use something else so I'm looking to extract the url somehow if possible?

Send me the apk

Just fyi there are some services out there that do not allow you use other apps other than their custom app. If caught using a non-custom app then the sub can be deleted/banned by he admins. This happens on 2 of the servers/panels I sell. And yes we can see what device the user is using to watch.

Just an aside anyone know where it is hidden in smarters as well?

Have they same thing but they use smarters - thanks.

You can try downloading the .apk of the app on a pc then renaming it to a .zip file then extracting it and poking around the files to see if you can find anything.

Run wireshark on a mirrored or spanned switch port that will show you all the traffic to and from the device the apk is on. once filter out the capture to show only too and from the IP of the device, then look for the DNS request to see what url it is trying to resolve. If you lack the ability to do this, send me the APK in a PM and i'll get it for you.

edit: Now you have me curious, and i'm bored, so guess what I'm doing lol...

edit2: Ok, so i just did a trial run in the lab and this definitely works. Between the DNS query to the server and the http back and forth i was able to pull the portal url, the device useragent and the MAC.
