Oblivion vs Port Authority
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Oblivion
Oblivion is a security-focused Android application that allows a user to lock or wipe a device when compromise is suspected. The application is intended for high-risk situations such as device loss, forced unlock, or temporary loss of physical control. Trigger methods: * Panic button (Quick Settings tile) * Remote message containing a secret code * QR code based device identifier sharing * Automatic triggers * Trigger when the device has not been unlocked for a configurable period of time (including support for GrapheneOS) Actions: * Perform a factory reset (wipe) Device control is implemented using the Android Device Administration API. Security notes: * Only encrypted devices can guarantee that data cannot be recovered * The application does not function in Safe Mode * For baseline device hardening, see Sentry License Free and Open Source Software GPL-3.0
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.
