[Cialug] Android security

[Josh More]

[points at TJ Vance]

More seriously, I'm not an expert in this.  I am using CyanogenMod because TJ said it was good, and he was right.  I care more about running a securable and stable Linux system than taking full advantage of everything.  For me, a rooted phone with DroidWall, AndGuard, LookOut and AdFree is sufficient.  I'd like a solid boot-time encryption solution too, but haven't found one yet.

Thanks for the info! Any pointers on finding 'reliable' sources for
kernels & mods? Most of the Evo resources I have found, for example,
state "superceded" or have other issues (like complete sentences)
that would make me reluctant to use it.
