PrivacyBreacher

PrivacyBreacher is an Android app built as a proof of concept for a research article describing the privacy issues in Android. This app can access following information from your phone without requesting any permissions:

  1. Screen state of your phone (i.e., when your phone screen goes off/on)
  2. Monitor when you plug-in and remove your phone charger and wired headphones.
  3. Figure out at what time you switched on/off your phone (not directly implemented) .
  4. Access most of your device related information like your phone model, manufacturer etc.
  5. Keep track of your WiFi/Mobile data usage.
  6. Get a list of all the apps installed on your phone.
  7. Construct a 3D visualization of your body movements.

This app supports Android Pie (Android 9, API 28) or later versions.
