Welcome Android N and another change, biggest in Android History in 2016
added final Android 6 (official) device overview
Physical security added, nothing much here but I don't know if it's possible to really protect an smartphone ... even encryption doesn't prevent from steal the entire device or simply flash another rom ... imho useless
added alternatives to SELinux, not tried myself feed free to report if this information is wrong (because I'm not 100% sure )
net.core.bpf_jit_enable should be 0, that only affects Android 6.0+ because JIT - maybe boot loops ... just try it ...
added extra warning, people can never read i know it ... minor changes
added bruteforce protection example
added protection against spoofing attacks
changed M to his final name (Marshmallow) http://android-developers.blogspot.de/2015/08/m-developer-preview-3-final-sdk.html Prev3 now available
add another security app, tools and other links added to audit stuff, small changes
Here is an alternative that not cares about GUI related talks -> security fokus https://mobilesecuritywiki.com/, small other changes, nothing important
added more info, some states fixed A5/3 will be used in Europe (confirmed by a telecom guy over a german newspaper c't) [IPsec for cell towers are used btw!]
added DefCon 23 material link, CVE-2015-3825 added,
added SELinux workaround links, e.g. CM12.x doesn't support "--context" (Superuser.apk) but we're able to set setenforce 0 with the default su binary
link fix, upstream changes with my local repo, small other corrections
Updated Kernel security (markdown)
added some examples in a pdf form (by BlackHat.com/Defon.org), added security feed, small changes
Introducing Android M, makes most of all "security apps" such as AVs, AppOps and others obsolete, a firewall is still needed
