HI Jeff, Keep in mind that if you're on the host, i.e. Android device, you don't need to pen test the ports, etc. The Belarc Security Advisor runs as an App on the host device, so it know's the apps and OS versions.
That and some "secret sauce" - Tony Sager's* term, does the trick. Regards, Sumin * Tony Sager is the former technical head of the NSA's Information Assurance Directorate, and a great guy. ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jeffrey Walton [[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, May 18, 2013 16:57 To: Shawn Valle Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [android-security-discuss] New Android vulnerability app On Sat, May 18, 2013 at 3:18 PM, Shawn Valle <[email protected]> wrote: > How does this compare / differ from xray at www.xray.io? > >From Valle's description, it looks like his app also scans other apps.
