Comments on SecDroid [ROOT] for Android

★★★★★ Unable to chmod -Unable to chmod this means you are safe - My device was already secured Thanx to the AOSP power and CM10.1 THUMBS UP

★★★★★ Great work. Most security is locked on to potential intrusions instead of finding the source of attack, this slows device usage and consumes power but this actually protects weak access points of most intrusions. Can't wait for this to be a full release thanks for the work and insight.

★★☆☆☆ ???? Not needed.

Description by ShadowdCat Consulting Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.

**Please consider buying the donate version too!***

SecDroid hardens the android kernel by disable certain binaries that have internet access or can be used as an attack vector and by securing the TCP Stack using Systctl. This helps prevent some MITM (Man-In-The-Middle) and Spoofing attacks. It may also prevent some DOS (Denial-Of-Service) Attacks.

NOTE: ROOT IS NEEDED!

Binary's that are disabled:

* irsii
* nano
* nc (net cat)
* netserver
* netperf
* opcontrol
* scp
* rsync
* sdptest
* ssh
* sshd
* strace
* tcpdump
* vim
* Telnet
* ping (Changed so only root can use)

* pm (package manager) is disabled so install apps via adb is disabled
* adbd (adb daemon) is disable as well to prevent an attacker from using tools such as p2p-adb by Kos

This is a work in progress so please let me know what you want added, removed, changed, or fixed.

Recent changes:
Version 0.1 (Alpha) - First release may have bugs.
Version 0.2 (Alpha) - Fixed path issues. Now using /system/bin instead of /system/xbin (which was wrong).
Version 0.3 (Alpha) - Fixed Bugs and now checks both /system/bin and /system/xbin for binaries to make sure it doesn't miss any. Added Buttons to XDA thread and Website.
Version 0.4 (Beta) - Fixed bugs where ADBD isn't disabled on some devices. Added Enable ADBD button.
Version 0.5 (Beta) - Added Super User Permission.
