Let's say I put a rouge application that was installed on ~100 phones. My application checks my specified DNS and waits for a valid string number-> using ACTION_CALL I have my victims all call a hotline/ person repeatedly-> flood the phone line causing the any legitimate resource going inbound or out to be unavailable. Now with the use of phone malware you could deny access of other phones.
I also suppose Android phones could be use for mass voice spam, sms spam, and even sending those $100 texts and calls. Even toss an application overlay and display ads/images that always remind on top of any application and even the launcher. Hell if you wanted to be a bigger dick you could download mass data to the phones going over their plans. I'm just wondering if there is any prevention? It shouldn't be hard for the average joe to code and toss it on the market and make some lulz. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#ACTION_CALL http://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/gsm/SmsManager.html#sendTextMessage(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, android.app.PendingIntent, android.app.PendingIntent) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Security Discussions" group.
