On the income side of things, I can think of one way the the author of "The most complete and advanced IT security professional toolkit on Android" could bring in revenue without the need for Adsense or charity.
Perhaps, one could sell said toolkit for money. Say, $370.40 for a "Professional" license. Differentiated from the "Community Edition" currently available on this and other dsploit sites in that it is a.) available after tomorrow and b.) ever likely to receive an update by the original author.
That way, security professionals would gain access to this nice piece of software, and the author wouldn't need to write blog posts like this one. Better still, had he been doing this previously, he would have had seven dollars available to pay for the .org version of his domain name, thus avoiding the whole situation in the first place.

Just change your license so if businesses with incomes over $100k a year want to use it, they have to buy the Professional license that costs some appropriate amount (I'm thinking $2000 for a site license or $100 per install, something like that). As a game developer I've seen a lot of small tools start doing this. Don't try and stop people pirating since you can't, but this way at least people who work at a business who aren't personally signing the checks don't really care if they have to pay a few hundred dollars to use their favorite & best tool.
