Copperhead OS wants to be the safest Android – Tecnologia.com.pt – Portal Technology

Security

 Copperhead OS

the operating system vulnerabilities developed by Google to equip mobile devices are known to all. Doors that the company leaves open due to dubious clarity of advertising mechanisms so many profits give you, or even lack of concentration since the company’s activities are scattered in the most varied nature projects. Still, and large investments in making your operating system, Android, a secure platform, cases continue to add to, update after update, version after version.

To address these fault Copperhead is a project that has only two people working and has the Android security its main focus. These two people just launched this Android branch to be entertained in your free time as they have their own work. The kernel of Linux that is built on Android devices is also under the aura of his dedication.

The Copperhead OS is so far the only variant that is able to implement all of the kernel security enhancements, such as for example Grsecurity and PaX, which improve the SELinux policies.

Given the fragmentation of the market, and the humility of the project, is only available a version for Nexus devices which we recommend users of these devices to experience.
