VTS for Android v.13 APK 115s2o

App Description 5y6s3u

VTS for Android This tool probes your device for publicly-known system vulnerabilities. All data will stay on your device and will not be shared without your explicit consent. If the app says you're affected, please read https://www.nowsecure.com/blog/2015/11/18/my-device-is-vulnerable-now-what/. This application is not malicious, and because it’s an open-source project you can see this for yourself on the app’s Github repo https://github.com/nowsecure/android-vts.Please file any bugs, issues, or feature requests at: https://github.com/nowsecure/android-vts/issues. Note that some anti-virus programs may flag this application because it probes the device for weaknesses. This tool is meant to show the end the attack surface that a given device is susceptible to. In implementing these checks we attempt to minimize or eliminate both false positives/false negatives without negatively affecting system stability. The application is open source and you can contribute or review the source code at https://github.com/nowsecure/android-vts.When a vulnerability is discovered, Google receives word and applies a patch to Android. The Nexus devices are usually the devices that receive these patches quickest as they deviate the least (read: not all) from AOSP (Android Open Source Project - The core of Android, where Google commits to). The lag time between learning about a bug and the time when a patch is applied to a device can still be significant (for OEMs, it can be > 1 year or never). For example, the futex bug (CVE-2014-3153/Towelroot) was known about in late May, early June. This bug took multiple months to get patched on the flagship (at the time) Nexus 5. This leaves s extremely vulnerable to attack from applications. s mostly do not know that their devices are vulnerable and this tool is meant to give visibility into the vulnerabilities a given device is susceptible to.
