Intercepting and analysing data packet from android applications to gain perspective of unauthorised disemmination of location information / Muhamad Iqbal Basir

The mobile phone is a modern marvel to humankind since its main role has expanded far from just making a simple call. Other than making calls or sending messages, the mobile phone now offers high speed processing power, high RAM capacity and built in Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation device...
