We have imported many new apps into our gallery. Check out the expanded gallery here. We've also added some new details on the results page for each application we analyze. To see these new details, click on one of the apps from the gallery (or upload your own), and you will see new information such as the label that the app gets on the homescreen.

We've given the site a new look! Please let us know what you think of the site's cosmetic redesign!

The full catalog of all apps that we have analysed is now open for viewing. Check out the gallery here to browse through the catalog of apps. From there, you can decide if you are comfortable with the behavior of the app before installing it on your device.

There are now two RSS feeds for Badger Application analysis:

• Badger Application Analysis News updates with site enhancements (such as this very item) and analysis upgrade announcements. These items occur less frequently; since the launch of the site they have occured at approximately twice per month. (subscribe here)
• Badger Application Analysis Blog updates with our blog posts. These items occur more frequently; the current rate of posts since the blog began is two posts per week. (subscribe here)

Note that the feeds are mutually exclusive: if you to sign up for both feeds, you shouldn't have to deal with much duplicaton of content.

The application analysis suite has been upgraded. In addition to improvements to the static flow analysis, two new analysis passes have been added:

1. Manifest Analysis extracts the original manifest from an apk and lists the declared permissions. This will help alert you to permissions that the app uses without beginning the install process
2. Advertising Analysis searches the apk looking for libraries that match our database of known advertisers. Currently, this analysis simply states the advertisers being used, but we may add trust scores for certain advertisers if there is sufficient demand.

We've released a Badger Application Analysis app. This app allows you to upload an apk directly from your Android device to our service where it will be automatically analyzed. You can review the results directly on your phone, or use the provided permanent link to view the results on a Desktop.

More details of the app, including instructions and screenshots, are available here

We have now opened a blog section on the website. This section is meant to hold longer-form resources than the quick links in the resources section, as well as to be a place for opinions and thoughts about smartphone security in general and Android analysis in particular.

The latest blog posts appear in the sidebar, and an archive of all blog posts is available here. For the time being, comments have been disabled. However, you are encouraged to contact the author of the post directly via email.

A resources section has been added to the site. The section is also accessible via the Site Map.

The goal of this area of the site is to offer further reading material to visitors interested in mobile security. There are links to other blogs that cover the world of security, privacy, and mobile applications. There are also some links to academic papers that focus on mobile security, along with mini-reviews of each paper.

Hopefully, this section gives readers who are new to the community a way to jump-start their knowledge of mobile security, and gives current community members a way to keep current on smartphone developments.

Welcome to the brand new Trusted Enterprise Application Analysis site!

The core of the site is an automated analysis engine that will detect vulnerabilities, unintentional or deliberate, in smartphone applications. Currently, the analysis focuses on Android applications. However, if the analysis appears valuable, an iOS target may be added some day.

In the coming months, additional features will be added to the site, but for now feel free to submit any Android application you'd like for analysis!
