Can GrapheneOS resist Pegasus?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/privacytoolsIO

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • mvt

    MVT (Mobile Verification Toolkit) helps with conducting forensics of mobile devices in order to find signs of a potential compromise.

  • Amnesty International issued a tool to help identify Pegasus: https://github.com/mvt-project/mvt

  • hardened_malloc

    Hardened allocator designed for modern systems. It has integration into Android's Bionic libc and can be used externally with musl and glibc as a dynamic library for use on other Linux-based platforms. It will gain more portability / integration over time.

  • Please read through the overview at https://grapheneos.org/features. This only lists enhancements we offer compared to AOSP. You can see that this is a substantial focus including using our own entirely different heap implementation. Most of these attacks use memory corruption bugs, and most of those are heap corruption bugs. It's the whole point of our extensive work on https://github.com/GrapheneOS/hardened_malloc and other features. It certainly doesn't make you immune to exploitation, but it will often help to mitigate a generic memory corruption exploit targeting an app or OS component, alongside other changes.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
