# droidscanner
This is a mirror of a Google Code project [1] I wrote back in 2010|on the original HTC Dream Android Dev phone. Back
then there were little to no restrictions on permissions you had to declare and it was easy to have persistent processes
in the background.
This code obviously is aged beyond usefulness but I dug it up while working on my Johns Hopkins masters program in
cybersecurity and decided to mirror it over to github for personal historical reference.
## Original Description
This tool is a generic utility for analyzing a prospective mobile application domain. The utility logs information from
any/all available sensors on the android platform. The tool also attempts to anonymize as much information as possible,
though there are obvious limits when it comes to location data collection. This information can then be uploaded to a
central server for analysis. Settings for how and what to poll information from are downloaded from the main server and
can be changed dynamically without any interaction with clients running the scanner utility. This allows for fast and
dynamic research on in an application's domain.
This projected was initially designed in the Systems Lab at the University of Colorado at Boulder and continues to
collaborate with with Caleb Phillips (Phd Graduate Student) and Dr. Dirk Grunwald in its design and implementation.
