OBJECTIVE

Identify services listening on your device without probing other machines.

TIME PLAN

Prepare 20m · Build 110m · Verify 30m · Document 20m

Working boundary

Work only inside the folder created by Smartphone-Academy.py prepare local-ports. Use the supplied samples or systems you personally 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.

Android + Termuxpython Smartphone-Academy.py prepare local-portsNo root. Use the supplied files and keep the workspace under $HOME.

Practical mission

  1. Capture listening TCP and UDP endpoints
  2. Map each endpoint to its owning process where permitted
  3. Distinguish loopback-only from network-accessible listeners
  4. Close one unnecessary test service and confirm the port disappears
EVIDENCE TO PRODUCE

A local exposure table with process, address, port and justified disposition.

Quality gate

The deliverable states a clear scope and date for Audit Listening Ports Locally.
A second learner can reproduce the commands and paths.
Original samples remain unchanged and verifiable.
Limitations are recorded beside the conclusions.

Analyst reflection

Which result from “Close one unnecessary test service and confirm the port disappears” would need more evidence before it could support an operational decision?

Complete in Termux

After checking the evidence, run python Smartphone-Academy.py complete local-ports. Progress is stored locally in the Termux home directory.
