Device Monitor

監測和報告您的Andr​​oid設備上的惡意活動。

Monitoring and reporting malicious events on your Android device.

Main features of the app:

- detects master-key exploits

- warns about connections to end-points that are reported within malware/central-clearing-house databases

- detects SMS hijacks

- warns users on applications with privileges that could e.g. leak private data

The cyber threat of botnets is of great concern due to the way and intensity it is spreading, using countless hijacked resources to realize cyber-attacks. Since the vast majority of the C&C communications are HTTP-based, similar techniques that apply on personal computers and existing malware infrastructure can be reused on mobile devices.

The detection methods are based on known attacks (SMS hijacks, visiting malicious URLs, detecting master key exploits). Not expecting to have to “root” devices to install the solution. Main concerns are security, speed, data transfer amount and battery life impact on the device.

This version is integrated with ACDC - the Advanced Cyber Defence Centre project.

ACDC, the European Cyber Defence Centre, is a community of stakeholders joining forces to fight botnets. Operating since February 2013 as an EU CIP funded pilot project involving 28 partners from 14 countries, for a duration of 30 months until July 2015. Beyond July 2015, ACDC aims to continue operating as a self-sustained Centre building on its value as delivering the largest European source of data acquired through operators and end-users and a full set of solutions targeted both to help operators and end-users detect, mitigate and recover from botnet attacks.
