summary

Tool named Iron Crow scans shipped Android platform images for configuration weaknesses rather than code bugs, flagging real issues: NX bit disabled by PAE changes, low mmap_min_addr values, world‑writable device nodes, unexpected setuid files and misused posix capabilities. It runs as an app or automated scanner, produces file lists and a vendor-configurable whitelist, is a beta pre‑release shown via screenshots and live devices, and claims to catch platform-level privilege escalations before OEMs ship.
