We are pleased to announce that the updated version of our SoniControl firewall was released on the Google Play Store!

The new version includes novel features like:  

•    An algorithm that recognizes the type of message and the protocol behind.

•    Novel visualization and sonification features to make the detected signals visible and hearable. This is essential to build trust in the firewall i.e. to show what was actually detected.

•    An option to share detections via a server for detailed diagnostics and to support other users.

•    A feasibility study that evaluates ways to port SoniControl to iOS

•    Comprehensive bug fixing and improved stability

•    Comprehensive update of user and developer documentation

•    A new consolidated app version that includes all developed functionality, i.e. SoniControl 2.0.

Beyond the planned goals of the project, we achieved the following additional goals:

•    A component to download and integrate firewall rules from other users to the own phone to leverage detections made already by other users.

•    A complete refit of the user interface of the application for improved usability

You can download or update it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.ac.fhstp.sonicontrol

We are looking forward to your feedback!
