Warden FOSS

Warden is a FOSS app management utility. Warden has a static curated list of known trackers (Exodus Privacy) , each app's dex file is read to retrieve the class names, these class names are then matched with the signatures of known trackers & loggers to find them. A list of currently known trackers & loggers can be found here & here Loggers in the context of Warden means all utilities which are used to log user activity on an app or logcat in general. Not all loggers are evil. But few logging tools like ACRA, xLog are very powerful tools that can send user data to devs without user's consent. So do read the app's Privacy Policy, beforehand. Warden uses su pm to manage the components.
