B.TECH CYBERSECURITY WORKSHOP

Mobile Security Awareness Scanner

Explore what a normal webpage can learn from your Android browser, try permission prompts intentionally, and generate a local awareness report.

Before you begin

Use only your own device or a participant's device with informed consent. This is an awareness tool, not an exploit or a penetration test.

I understand this page will display browser/device hints and any information I explicitly authorize, such as location. The report is generated on this device and is not uploaded by this page.

The web host may independently keep normal server logs (for example, request time and IP address). This page does not send the displayed scan results to a collection server.

1. Device & browser details

These values are hints from your browser and may not identify the exact phone model.

Check consent, then press Inspect.

2. Permission demonstrations

Each button triggers a browser permission request. Nothing is requested until you press a button.

Camera/microphone tests briefly request access and immediately stop the media stream. No photo, audio, or video is recorded or uploaded.

3. Generate a QR code for this page

Host this page over HTTPS first, then paste its public URL. The QR image is fetched from a third-party QR service, which receives the URL you enter.

Public HTTPS URL

4. Awareness report

After inspection, generate a report summarizing browser hints and which permission tests you tried. Any location you approved is included only in the local report.

What this page cannot normally access

Scanning a QR code does not itself give a website access to IMEI, contacts, call logs, SMS, saved passwords, private files, or all photos. These require other authorized pathways, user action, or in some cases a security vulnerability. Browser model information may be reduced for privacy.

Workshop takeaway: a QR code is usually a way to open a link. The risk depends on where it leads and what a user does next.
