About the project

OWASP Seraphimdroid is a privacy and security protection app for android devices. It enables users to protect their devices against malicious software, phishing SMS messages, execution of dangerous USSD codes. OWASP Seraphimdroid also enables users to keep their device safe from theft or loosing with its geofancing feature. OWASP Seraphimdroid has two aims:

  • To protect user's privacy and secure the device against malicious features that may cost user money
  • To educate user about dangers coming from certain android permissions and setting misconfiguration

In order to archieve these security, privacy and educational aims we have built a set of features and will be periodically introducing new security features. Features:

  • Application locker. With OWASP Seraphimdroid you may lock access to certain or to all of your application with password
  • Permission scanner. Permission scanner will show you the list of all installed application and the permission they are using. Also app will describe potential malicious use of certain permissions. Seraphimdroid will sum up the danger factor for all of the permissions and indicate whether the application may be considered potentially dangerous.
  • Incoming SMS blocker. This feature will scan all incoming messages and alert user if it find in the content potential phishing
  • Outgoing SMS scanner. The application will monitor outgoing SMS and alert user if the some of the application is trying to send SMS. This is the usual scenario how malware creators earn money - by sending premium SMS messages.
  • Outgoing call blocker. This feature will alow you to perform normally outgoing calls, but it will block outgoing calls performed by other installed applications. Similarly to outgoing SMSes, this is the scenario malware creators use to earn money.
  • Geo-gencing. This feature alows user to set a location range where the device should be. If the device exits the range it may set up alarm or start sending messages to the defined number with its location.
  • Remote location. If you lost your phone, you'll be able to send SMS with a defined secret code as a content and your phone will reply with the locaton coordinates of the device.
  • Remote lock. Similarly, you may lock your device using a message with secret code
  • Remote wipe. If your phone is stolen, you may send a message with secret code and wipe all user data from the phone.
