TaintDroid - Realtime Privacy Monitoring

[quazar]

Taintdroid is an application that monitors the transfer of private data by Android Apps. Only problem is that the program needs to be build into a custom ROM.

The software will be open source, but has not been released yet.
I do think that this would be a nice addition to the kitchen (if possible)

A joint study by Intel Labs, Penn State, and Duke University has identified that publicly available cell-phone applications from application markets are releasing consumers' private information to online advertisers. Researchers at the participating institutions have developed a realtime monitoring service called TaintDroid that precisely analyses how private information is obtained and released by applications "downloaded" to consumer phones. In a study of 30 popular applications, TaintDroid revealed that 15 send users' geographic location to remote advertisement servers. The study also found that seven of the 30 applications send a unique phone (hardware) identifier, and, in some cases, the phone number and SIM card serial number to developers.

It would be possible to make a 2.2rom with it. I read the report about it, the main problem is that it has a huge impact on performance. Its probabally something you wouldnt want for daily use.
