Log of Blocked Programs #2

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Enhancement request for a menu option in droidwall to view which programs
have been blocked when whitelisting is used.

This would make it easy to determine which programs need to be whitelisted,
and is easier to implement than the previous "confirm mode" (real-time
blocking notification) enhancement request.

This page has some good suggestions for logging the uid of the blocked packets:
http://superuser.com/questions/34782/with-linux-iptables-is-it-possible-to-log-t
he-process-command-name-that-initiate

Logging all the time might take up too many resources, so it's probably
best to use the "limit" module to severely limit the amount of logging, or
allow toggling of the logging mode in droidwall (i.e. a "training mode"
that can be enabled during a day of regular app usage, and then disabled
afterwards).

Thanks, this program is extremely useful

It seems that the majority of Android ROMS include a very limited version of 
iptables
(which does not include the LOG target).

I will (try to) check which ROMs include this functionality to investigate the
possibility of enable logging when supported.

I'm closing this issue for now since it seems most ROM developers are not 
wiling to
enable the LOG iptables target.
This scenario may change in the future since the devices are becoming more 
powerful.

See issue 44 - it is possible that logging works now :)
