    Study Notes

    • Installing software on mobile devices requires trust in the source due to access to operating systems and personal files.
    • Android devices allow installation of APK files from any source, while iOS and iPadOS only allow downloads from Apple App Store.
    • Developer mode on mobile devices provides access to information and settings, but requires specific software for iOS and a series of steps for Android.
    • Rooting (Android) and jailbreaking (iOS) involve replacing firmware to gain deeper access to the operating system, bypassing security features.
    • Malicious software, like XcodeGhost, can infiltrate devices through software downloads.
    • Excessive network traffic or unusual app behavior can indicate malware or malicious apps.
    • Third-party reporting tools can provide additional information if downloaded from trusted sources.
    • Factory reset can restore devices to their original state when dealing with software issues or malware.
    • Malware can prevent users from removing it by limiting internet access and forcing ads, disguising itself as helpful software.
    • Scammers use hoaxes to trick users into installing more malware by warning of non-existent infections.
    • Sudden app behavior changes, unexpected closures, or excessive battery usage can indicate malware or malicious apps.
