Spy Detection for Android Devices

This paper proposes a procedure to enhance anti- theft to prevent robbery for android-based smartphones by utilizing SMS as a medium. As the usage of phones, tablets, note pads are designed with the help of android OS is drastically rising and expanding, numerous situations related with anti- theft have additionally been evolved, however the greater part of the software products are not readily available and it is hard to recognize the robber by utilizing these software products like GPS Tracking. We have set forward another plan, which improves the current situation, in view of new advancements like messages being sent and received. The situation proposed in this work is absolutely reliant on the hardware of the cell phone like camera (front) and GPS tracker. When this application is installed on the phone, it will work in the background without displaying the application to the thief, stores the current SIM number in a server and application and continues checking continuously for the change in the SIM. Once the SIM card allotted on the device changes, it will capture 3 pictures and the GPS co- ordinates (latitude and longitude) are obtained. The details are acquired without taking the permission from the user. The pictures and GPS co-ordinates are stored in the server and an SMS is sent to an alternate number which was given during login. The major benefit of this product is that it is very simple to configure, it continues running as a background application without the thief's notice and without interfering with the user. It assists the owner to identify the criminal on his own.
