how many people can inspect network traffic on any given device? I don't think that's even a common skill among software developers unless you have a devops/IT focus, much less the entire populace
- HighPlainsDrftr 9y agoIt is pretty common amongst System/Network engineers though. Modify a few switch configurations and setup a sniffer. There are quite a few ways to do it.
- bittercynic 9y agoI expect my android phone exchanges encrypted information with google for updates and other purposes. How would I know if it slipped some other information into one of the encrypted transmissions?
- fnninja 9y agoYou could try something like TaintDroid. Marks data on your phone with a tag that is detected if said data is transmitted off the device without first being encrypted. Disclaimer: haven't personally tried it yet, but that's the general concept.
- bittercynic 9y agoThis doesn't address the concern that my phone, which Google has a large degree of control over, can leak my data to Google without me being able to detect it. As far as I can tell there is no way for me to use Google Play Services and have any assurance of privacy from Google.
