Cellular Privacy: A Forensic Analysis of Android Network Traffic

Presented at DEF CON 19 (2011), Aug. 7, 2011, 10 a.m. (50 minutes)

People inherently trust their phones, but should they? "Cellular Privacy: A Forensic Analysis of Android Network Traffic" is a presentation of results from forensically analyzing the network traffic of an Android phone. The results paint an interesting picture. Is Google more trustworthy than the application developers? Are legitimate market apps more trustworthy than their rooted counterparts? Perhaps most importantly, should you trust your passwords, location, and data to a device that shares too much?
