After, ochepednogo ckandala vokpyg kompanii Google and ee cbopa infopmatsii o tochkax doctypa Wi-Fi and I peshil pocmotpet chto of cebya ppedctavlyaet ee ppodykt Google Maps, a konkpetno menya zaintepecovali mobilnye kapty. I would like yznat kakie imenno dannye pepedaet THEIR ppogpamma. Uctanovil coft nA cmaptfon, mating pod Symbian 9.2. I remembered that recently rocked the maps from Google, but still decided to make sure that I have installed the latest version of the program's, and I went to the Options - Help - About, and found interesting information. The following screenshot shows enclose information. What we see here? Our phone shows (actually, if otsnifat protocol, we can see that he still sends) information on Google: running our phone, battery level, localization, MCC, MNC, LAC, RSSI and CellID ( characteristics of the base station) and another not unimportant parameter is the name, the number of Wi-Fi hotspots and their addresses. Therefore at Google has a database of mobile cells, and Wi-FI. Based on this database up and running their function Latitude. Parameters of interest, it is: MCC - the country code. MNC - operator code (eg, Russia: MTS-01, Beeline - 99, Ukraine: MTS-050, Kyivstar-067). LAC - local area code (a set of base stations serviced by a single controller) CellID - identifier of the base stations and sectors. RSSI - received signal strength. So, what do we have? Rather have Google, and has a very large base, which would have envied, any netmonitorschik. But we have something poimeem with the fact that Google uses a Col-in subscribers. And actually it gives us good opportunities, ie in fact, using a specially crafted request of our coordinates and signal strength of the cell, we can obtain data on the surrounding streets, hotspots, etc. Of such a request as described in the documentation on the link Geolocation API Network Protocol principle the Google and does not hide the fact that he is constantly collecting information about us: "The Google Privacy Policy and various privacy notices for specific products described how we use personal information you provide when using the products and services, Google, including Google's products and services for mobile devices. In addition, the following are our privacy practices relating to the services and Google products for mobile devices. »Via m.google.ru / static / ru / privacy.html It turns out that in the case c German hotspots by Google had no right to scan networks, but in our case, it has full rights to perform these operations (and more), because described in the agreement and privacy policy, which almost nobody reads. So if you suffer paranoia, be careful with the selection of software and becoming familiar with the above documents. Author morty10. | |
