A tool to detect stalking apps
Are you being tracked via your mobile phone? Is it communicating to others and sending your data without your knowledge? StalkerBuster helps you to find answers to these questions and gain back confidence in your communication tools.
The StalkerBuster code is available at github.
We are developing a database format and a respective database for identifying spying apps. The database will be made public, in order to enable external contributions.
StalkerBuster is easy to use. Although the data analyzed is hard to scan and understand, results are given easy to understand.
Texts and other media we found useful when trying to better understand spying and stalking apps. You might find these resources useful as well, so we maintain a list of them.
StalkerBuster is supported by the Prototype Fund, a project of the Open Knowledge Foundation to support Open Source prototypes for civic tech, data literacy, IT security and software infrastructure. It is funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research.
