+Mission Impossible: Hardening Android for Security and Privacy
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+On the Tor Blog, Mike Perry posted [XXX] another large and comprehensive
+hacking guide, this time describing “the installation and configuration
+of a prototype of a secure, full-featured, Android telecommunications
+device with full Tor support, individual application firewalling, true
+cell network baseband isolation, and optional ZRTP encrypted voice and
+video support.” The walkthrough covers hardware selection and setup,
+recommended software, Google-free backups, and disabling the built-in
+microphone of a Nexus 7 tablet (with a screwdriver).
+
+As it stands, following this guide may require a certain level of
+patience, but as Mike wrote, “it is our hope that this work can be
+replicated and eventually fully automated, given a good UI, and rolled
+into a single ROM or ROM addon package for ease of use. Ultimately,
+there is no reason why this system could not become a full fledged off
+the shelf product, given proper hardware support and good UI for the
+more technical bits.”
+
+Mike has already added to and improved parts of the guide following
+contributions from users in the comments beneath the post. If you would
+like to work (or already are working) at the cutting-edge of research
+into mobile device security and usability, take a look at Mike’s
+suggestions for future work at the bottom of the guide, and feel free to
+share your ideas with the community.
