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 the following information from your phone without requesting any permissions:

• Figure out at what time your phone screen turned on/off.


• Figure out at what time you plugged in or removed your phone charger and wired headphones.


• Figure out at what time you switched on/off your phone (i.e., it captures the device uptime and ACTION_SHUTDOWN broadcasts).


• Access most of your device related information like your phone model, manufacturer etc.


• Keep track of your WiFi/Mobile data usage.


• Get a list of all the apps installed on your phone.


• Construct a 3D visualization of your body movements.
