Work only inside the folder created by Smartphone-Academy.py prepare network-change-diff. Use the supplied samples, your own phone, or systems you are explicitly authorized to administer.
Prepare the Termux workspace
Open Termux in the Academy root and prepare this lab with the local companion. It creates safe samples, notes and evidence files under your Termux account.
python Smartphone-Academy.py prepare network-change-diffNo root. Keep the workspace under $HOME and avoid personal identifiers in evidence.Practical mission
- Capture a baseline of interfaces, routes, DNS and listening sockets
- Create a second snapshot after one controlled network change
- Normalize volatile fields before comparing the snapshots
- Classify differences and document the evidence needed for follow-up
A normalized diff report with expected, suspicious and unresolved changes.
Quality gate
Analyst reflection
Which result from “Classify differences and document the evidence needed for follow-up” needs stronger evidence before it can support a real decision?
After checking the evidence, run python Smartphone-Academy.py complete network-change-diff. Progress is stored locally in the Termux home directory.
