I believe they meant you only need it for a couple hours max so with the hourly rate it'd only be less than $0.02

IIRC they have a minimum payment. You need to put $5 in your account. Not sure what they do if you pay by subscription and only use a few hours, but when I was using DO, you needed to fund your account with $5 even if you were using the $100 free credit from GitHub education.

This is the case for PayPal and Visa debits, but not credit cards IIRC.

Any word on people already paying the $50 for no data-cap on Comcast? Should I remove it for 2 months or did they say they'd waive it?

I'm sure they'll gladly take your money. I got a notification that I was approaching my limit just yesterday.

Not that I have anything against this (I do love GitHub) but pretty sure it's against their ToS to create multiple accounts.

I would guess HBO registered SeeFood Technologies Inc. as it definitely looks like an official stunt otherwise it might have been taken down by now. It's not uncommon for them to do this - see http://www.piedpiper.com/ and http://raviga.com/

Easier solution: don't commit private keys.

Pro-tip: use `git add -p`

I've read people saying they have at least 3 times that.

Any significant advantages of using this over mitmproxy?

As far as I can tell, mitmproxy is very capable, but requires a lot of configuration to use effectively, and the interface isn't exactly brilliant. I've been using Charles for a while instead of mitmproxy just because it's quicker to set up, I'm much more productive with it. Looks like this app will be similar.

Piracy is not the only reason why you would decrypt an app.

Exactly. A lot of people don't know that you can easily crack a .ipa binary and see things like method names and string constants with about 5 minutes of work. You can do the same with Android .apk files. Seriously, if you're doing security intensive software, try to crack your own binary and see what information you can get. You'll probably see way more than you thought you would.

Why would you even consider using this app?
