It’s a very long story but ultimately all you need to know is, i have to make sure an unknown app isn’t sending an assload of traffic through port 25 on any network im connected to. How can I confirm this on my android device without an external PC?

    I’m rooted but that’s a bit overkill for what I’m trying to achieve, so far I’ve just found a traffic sniffer app and I’m manually picking out any traffic on 25, i suppose I could go home and just set something up on my router but I’m trying to do this at work

      Ah, yeah I’d imagine such an app needs root for that functionality. Low ports are protected by the kernel. If you’re suspecting malware on the phone, you might just wanna wipe it and secure your accounts?
