Course Outline

The primary objective of this course is to provide a technological introduction to the world's leading operating system, Android, developed by Google. Throughout the course, we will offer a comprehensive overview of Android as an open-source system, exploring its implications for both developers and users. Topics covered will include an in-depth examination of the various layers of the operating system, security mechanisms, user isolation, the file system, and more.
Furthermore, the course will delve into a comparative analysis of third-party applications developed for Android versus the system's native applications. Participants will learn to identify and investigate suspicious or potentially harmful applications, enabling them to make informed decisions about safe user behavior.
Throughout the training program, particular emphasis will be placed on highlighting the distinctions between the Android operating system and its Apple counterpart, iOS. By the conclusion of the course, participants will be equipped with insights into the strengths and weaknesses of the operating system, along with the underlying structural factors. This knowledge will empower them to leverage Android's capabilities to their advantage and to protect themselves as users.
A notable highlight of this course is the exploration of a "Spy App" specifically developed for instructional purposes. This application, although appearing to be harmful, operates discreetly and collects highly sensitive personal data, including everything we say. This module will offer a unique perspective on how hackers can exploit the open-source nature of the Android OS, illustrating the evolving challenges in mitigating such threats. Read More
