Droidglance: Network Topology Generator and Device Security Assessment Application on Android Mobile Device

Nowadays, the number of mobile device and Internet users is increasing significantly. The growing of sophisticated technology has eased people’s productivity. However, in the other hand, security risks have also grown without an equal degree of awareness of the society. The objective of this research is to design and develop an Android application that is able to draw a topology of a network and do a simple security assessment towards a host in order to detect host's vulnerability. The information gathered will be presented in a PDF report and can be used for maintenance purposes. The application will have wizard feature, where the user can analyze network and discover an underlying vulnerability with guided steps. The methodology is interview, literature study, observation and system design using object oriented approach. DroidGlance, an Android application that can draw a wireless network topology generator and help security tester analyze a host's vulnerability. The application main feature are Topology generator, Ping, Traceroute, Port Scanner, Vulnerability Checker, and Listen. These features are tested. These features are able to run well. However, they need several improvements for future development.
