Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
ClassyShark3xodus - Scan apps for warnings
Checks apps for code signatures of known trackers (provided by Exodus). Also can list all classes for launchable (via the app drawer) packages. Can be used against any APK: * installed: via an app manager or built-in ApplicationInfos/PermissionInfos, * downloaded: via any file manager (long press and open with ClassyShark3xodus), * launchable installed: via the first screen list (long press to display dynamic manifest). Note: doesn't work on odexed/system packages (it's a work-in-progress). Finally, the app doesn't sync or connect to the Internet and thus cannot sneak on end users. The app is updated when Exodus updates their list of trackers: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/api/trackers (Can display any *.xml file stored on the device.) Other features: - Selinux device & per app: appZygote + read_log + shareUser detection, - dynamic & static androidManifest, - full permissions device explorer (via Super#1), - complete apk(s) device explorer (via additional icon) - install & update Date per app, - certificate & fileSum fingerprints details at each scan. ClassyShark3xodus is based on Google's ClassyShark: https://github.com/google/android-classyshark (and apps_Packages Info: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.oF2pks.applicationsinfo/).
Port Authority
A handy systems and security-focused tool, Port Authority is a very fast port scanner. Port Authority also allows you to quickly discover hosts on your network and will display useful network information about your device and other hosts.One of the fastest port scanners with host discovery on the market! Host discovery is typically performed in 3 seconds. If the device you’re scanning drops packets, it takes less than 10 seconds to scan 1000 ports. If the device you’re scanning rejects packets, it takes about ~30 seconds seconds to scan all 65,535 ports!Port Authority has no ads and will never have ads. It requires extremely limited permissions since it only needs to interact with your network. The internals are designed to take advantage of today’s modern phones with multiple cores to ensure you can scan your network as fast as possible.
