My company analyzes iOS and Android apps en mass, using static and dynamic analysis. We've partnered with several major universities to provide data like this about apps. If any reseachers are interested in this data, please feel free to reach out.
For location in particular, we see which location collection permissions the app has, as well as indirect methods like Bluetooth and Wifi. We also see the commercial integrations, like the companies named in the article.
- Operyl 8y agoHey, I’m curious in this data as a hobby. Is there a cost or restrictions to the dataset? Thanks!
- willstrafach 8y agoOurs (guardianapp) does exactly this as well, although exclusively for iOS. We are using the data we glean from the static + runtime analysis for an upcoming mobile firewall app but are open to other interesting opportunities. Please feel free to send a message at any time, even if you would just like to compare notes on all this (hello@sudosecuritygroup.com).
- walterbell 8y agoIs your mobile firewall app going to implement iOS MDM, e.g. to enable per-app VPNs?
- willstrafach 8y agoThis will be available in the future, but was deemed too complicated for most mainstream users. The initial default will be to simply offer a button called “Protect” and app handles all the rest.
- saagarjha 8y agoI'm curious as to your methods. Do you have something like a blog post that I could peruse?
