SRT AppScanner

About SRT AppScanner Android App

In July 2013 and in November 2013 several severe security vulnerabilities in Android (bug 8219321, 9695860 and 9950697) have been discovered. These vulnerabilities target the app integrity and allow injecting malicious code into any Android app without changing the app's signature. This makes it possible to create malicious Android applications that can act under the name of a well-known app and thus enables malware to access your private data.

Those bugs are already reported to Google, however many Android devices are still affected by at least one of this vulnerabilities.

The SRT AppScanner allows you to check whether your device vendor has already fixed these problems. Additionally, every installed app and any app installed in the future are checked for malicious behavior. This makes your device secure until an update is supplied by your device vendor. SRT AppScanner does not require any permission.

For demo purposes we added new content to a popular app without breaking their signature. In the screenshots you can see how it is detected by the SRT AppScanner.
