Introduction

Here I will be cataloging my experiences as I go in depth exploring the security of Android. With the help of my brother, Max Sobell, I will research the vulnerabilities of Android and learn about the operating system. I will also be teaching myself more python throughout the process and becoming more adept at programming in general. Today, Monday 1/7/2012, I will explore the rageinthecage exploit and attempt to use it to gain root access to a virtual machine via a program I create in C that doesn't check the return value of suid/sgid. I will post my results by 6:00, and it is likely that I will need to continue tomorrow.
