Android and iOS both are great mobile platforms and have room for improvement as well as different ideas for what the users need. Google’s Android together with Apple’s iOSis excellent operating systems which are used primarily in mobile technology like the smartphones and tablets.

Android, a Linux based and a partly open source is more of a PC than iOS, where its interface and basic features are more customizable from top to bottom, though the uniform design element of iOS tends to be seen as being more users friendly.

The options from smartphone and tablet system should be considered with care since switching from iOS to Android or vice versa will involve the purchase of apps again in the Google Play or Apple App Store. Android presently being the world’s most common preference in smartphone platform is used by several different phone manufacturers while iOS is only used on Apple devices like the iPhone.

iOS Pros and Cons

 The iOS interface is quite good with the overall UX does not change from what users have got familiar with. Quality hardware – iOSis available on a few devices though Apple has a high standard for those devices and ensures that each device is well designed and capable in functioning.

Lack of customization – By maximising user friendliness, Apple has created an environment that for the most part with default settings could be good for all and excellent for users who would like the choice of many options but frustrating for others who would be interested in personalizing their experience. Users can face lack of device option with two to three choices for iPhone, or two choices for iPad with each device being a lot similar.

Android Pros and Cons

In Android there is a huge device variety which comes in all shapes, sizes and prices with every manufacturer having their own particular blend of Android, with extra features together with capabilities. This results in competition with fast innovation from the UX point of view.

Android devices are highly customizable and are more open than Apple devices right from downloading new default font to overhauling theuser interface and the changes are more accessible on an Android device.

App Policies are less restrictive where Google Play has their own policies that are not as strict as the iTunes stores, though Google Play is not the only choice to distribute Android app and if Google Play tends to reject an app, there are other sources available.

Android Oldboot B Malware, a predecessor of Oldboot A

Android Oldboot B malware has been detected by Chinese researchers from `360 Mobile Security’ and appears from an evolution of its predecessor Oldboot A and as of today, the most complex bootkit which has infected millions of devices. Oldboot B has been considered to be the most sophisticated Android malware detected and has already infected millions of mobile devices.

Its predecessor, Oldboot A was detected in early 2014 by Doctor Web, a Russian security firm and Oldboot A’s principal capability is to infect the Smartphone after reboot irrespective of all its components deleted by the user. Bootkit is a category of malware that can infect the host at start up and is also capable in performing malicious activities which may include data stealing, communicate with a remote C&C server, disk encryption, and remove the application on the victim’s device. Moreover Oldboot B also implements a new type of advanced evasion techniques which can avoid its deletion to principal antivirus software as well automatic analysis systems.

Oldboot silently injecting malicious module 

The ability to silently installing Apps in the background, Oldboot B can also inject malicious modules into critical system process and prevent Apps from uninstalling, disable or uninstall mobile Anti Virus software and modify the browser’s homepage. The Oldboot is a well organized large Trojan family and every member has a clear division of labor which has been written by professional programmers and promoted by some commercial companies which evolves constantly and a new tool is specially used to effectively detect and defend this Bootkit.

Once the user’s Android mobile is infected, the Oldboot B malware waits for the command sent by C&C which is located at az.o65.org – IP 61.160.248.67 and makes use of stegnography to hide data within file exchanged with C&C and installs various malicious applications on the user’s mobile. The Oldboot B malware consisting of four principal components registers itself as services can also ensure the persistence to the malicious code.

Evasion Capabilities – Meaningless code and Random Behavior

The first being boot_tst is the component which is responsible for command reception as well as execution and uses a remote injection technique to introduce an SO file and a JAR file to the `system server’ to process the Android system. The second is adb_server which replaces pm script of the Android system with itself while its main function is to avoid malicious code uninstall.

The third is meta_chk which silently downloads and install Android Apps promoted in the background and is also capable of opening a backdoor for remote control. Besides, the component is also capable of removing itself leaving injected process in the memory by which antivirus software are unable to detect it since they are unable to perform a memory scan in the Android platform. Finally agentsysline runs in the background and receives command from C&C server, the possibility of deleting specific files within its ability, enable/disable network connection as well as uninstall antivirus software.

The most likely evasion capabilities which makes hard the detection of Oldboot B are that it adds some meaningless code and trigger some behavior randomly, checks for availability of SIM card in the device and not perform certain behavior if there is no SIM card, check for existence of antivirus software and probably uninstall the antivirus software before doing anything malicious. The possibility to avoid Oldboot B malware is to download and install app which are from official stores only and avoid unreliable custom ROMs. If a mobile is infected by Oldboot B, the free removing tool designed by antivirus firm 360 Mobile Security can be downloaded.

How to Tame Down Data Consumption on Android!

The known fact is that Android apps are designed to consume more data and all users love apps and games which we tend to download as much as possible on our devices. In doing so, we consume high data since these app come with high memory which needs constant internet connection to operate them. Most of the service providers advertise unlimited data with a soft cap of about 5GB while others have a hard cap of 2GB who tend to reserve the right to charge if the limits are crossed. Earlier, multiple GB of mobile data was unheard of, due to the absence of large mobile content but now with most of the major streaming sources having mobile apps, these applications have increased in size and with its installation, have been taking in major space of data plan with simple background activity.

At times compression could also result in forgoing quality leaving the user with altered web pages. Options could be worthwhile sometimes with slow connections with various providers offering compression in reducing data usage. Chrome Beta has some handy new data compression features which users need to enable it by heading to Setting – Bandwidth Management – Reduce data usage and then going forward, the user can revisit the setting window to check how much data has been saved.

Files Downloads through Wi-Fi - Downloading of files from the internet is also another form of data consumption which on downloading consumes a lot of data and it is suggested to download files only through Wi-Fi connection. Apps which do not permit fine tune data settings could also be loading background data as in Ice Cream Sandwich and other versions of Android, where the option of getting to know a list of apps with data usage status is by going to Settings – Data Usage and then scrolling down to the list of apps along with accompanying status of data usage.
