Android is an open-source, Linux-based operating system developed by Google and the Open Handset Alliance for mobile devices. It allows manufacturers to use and customize the Android platform without paying royalties. The document discusses the history and development of Android, from its origins at Android Inc. to the various versions named after desserts. It covers the features and capabilities of Android, as well as both the advantages of being open-source and customizable, and the disadvantages like sometimes being slow or having malware.
Android is a mobile operating system based on a modified version of the Linux kernel and other open-source software, designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
The two tech Giants are all set to reserve the first position in the market. Android Nougat and iOS 10 are preparing to hit the market later on this year. Have a quick look on the difference that who will gain an ultimate attention with respect to the features.
This talk is going to give an overview of Android operating system and it´s apps ecosystem from the security point of view of a penetration tester.
So lets dive into topics like Pentest Environment Setup, Tools of the Trade, App Analysis and some security hints for Android developers.
1.ANDROID
2.INTRODUCTION
Android is a Linux-based operating system designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers.
Initially developed by Android, Inc., which Google backed financially and later bought in 2005, Android was unveiled in 2007 along with the founding of the Open Handset Alliance: a consortium of hardware, software, and telecommunication companies devoted to advancing open standards for mobile devices. The first Android-powered phone was sold in October 2008.
3.ARCHITECTURE
4.Android consists of a kernel based on Linux kernel version 2.6 and, from Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich onwards, version 3.x, with middleware, libraries and APIs written in C, and application software running on an application framework which includes Java-compatible libraries based on Apache Harmony.
Android uses the Dalvik virtual machine with just-in-time compilation to run Dalvik 'dex-code' (Dalvik Executable), which is usually translated from Java bytecode.The main hardware platform for Android is the ARM architecture.
5.APPLICATIONS
Android has a growing selection of third party applications, which can be acquired by users either through an app store such as Google Play or the Amazon Appstore, or by downloading and installing the application's APK file from a third-party site.
The Play Store application allows users to browse, download and update apps published by Google and third-party developers, and is pre-installed on devices that comply with Google's compatibility requirements.
6.APPLICATIONS
The app filters the list of available applications to those that are compatible with the user's device, and developers may restrict their applications to particular carriers or countries for business reasons. Purchases of unwanted applications can be refunded within 15 minutes of the time of download, and some carriers offer direct carrier billing for Google Play application purchases, where the cost of the application is added to the user's monthly bill.
As of September 2012, there were more than 675,000 apps available for Android, and the estimated number of applications downloaded from the Play Store was 25 billion.
7.SECURITY & PRIVACY
Android applications run in a sandbox, an isolated area of the system that does not have access to the rest of the system's resources, unless access permissions are explicitly granted by the user when the application is installed. Before installing an application, the Play Store displays all required permissions: a game may need to enable vibration or save data to an SD card, for example, but should not need to read SMS messages or access the phonebook. After reviewing these permissions, the user can choose to accept or refuse them, installing the application only if they accept.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

publicly released on October 19, 2011. Google's Gabe Cohen stated that Android 4.0
was "theoretically compatible" with any Android 2.3.x device in production at that
time. The source code for Android 4.0 became available on November 14, 2011.The
update introduced including numerous new features.
On June 27, 2012, at the Google I/O conference, Google announced Android 4.1 (Jelly
Bean). Based on Linux kernel 3.1.10, Jelly Bean is an incremental update with the
primary aim of improving the user interface, both in terms of functionality and
performance. The performance improvement involves "Project Butter", which uses
touch anticipation, triple buffering, extended vsync timing and a fixed frame rate
of 60fps to create a fluid and "buttery"-smooth UI.[ Android 4.1 Jelly Bean was
released to AOSP on July 9, 2012, and an OTA update for the Nexus 7 to Android 4.1.1
was released on July 11, 2012, making it the first device to run Jelly Bean.
13. Advantages:-
Android is open, because it is linux based open source so it can be developed
by anyone.
Easy access to the Android App Market: Android owners are people who love
to learn the phone, with Google's Android App Market you can download
applications for free.
Populist Operating System: Android Phones, different from the iOS is limited
to the iphone from Apple, then Android has many manufacturers, with their
respective flagship gadget from HTC to Samsung.
USB full facilities.You can replace the battery, mass storage, DiskDrive, and
USB tethering.
Easy in terms of notification: the operating system is able to inform you of a
new SMS, Email, or even the latest articles from an RSS Reader.
Supports all Google services: Android operating system supports all of google
services ranging from Gmail to Google reader. all google services can you
have with one operating system, namely Android.
Install ROM modification:There are many custom ROM that you can use on
Android phones, and the guarantee will not harm your device.
14. Disadvantages:-
Connected to the Internet: Android can be said is in need of an
active internet connection. At least there should be a GPRS
internet connection in your area, so that the device is ready to go
online to suit our needs.
Sometimes slow device company issued an official version of
Android your own.
Android Market is less control of the manager, sometimes there
are malware.
As direct service providers, users sometimes very difficult to
connect with the Google.
Sometimes there are ads: because it is easy and free, sometimes
often a lot of advertising. In appearance it does not interfere with
the performance of the application itself, as it sometimes is in the
top or bottom of the application.
Wasteful Batteries,This is because the OS is a lot of "process" in
the background causing the battery quickly drains.
15. Android is truly open, free development platform based
on Linux and open source.
Handset makers can use & customize the platform
without paying a royalty.
Android is open to all: industry, developers and users
Participating in many of the successful open source
projects
Aims to be as easy to build for as the web
Google Android is stepping into the next level of Mobile
Internet
