Flowoid

Keywords: Android - NetFlow - Monitoring

Flowoid is a flow based monitoring probe dedicated to Android environments. It uses the NetFlow protocol to send to a collector, information related to the network activities of running Android applications. The information about each connection are grouped into records containing traditional properties including source IP address, destination IP address, bytes, packets, etc. In addition, Flowoid associates and sends for each NetFlow record a set of information related to the geographic location of the device, the name of the application that established the connection, the state of the device screen (ON, OFF, locked, unlocked) and the type of the traffic (foreground, background).
