The time, down to the millisecond, of every touch on the device's screen, as well as the type of touch (e.g. tap, swipe).
I tail that log file to read touch gestures in my scripts. But I only need stuff from the past few seconds.
My Kindle is not the 3G model, so I was not able to test whether cellphone tower information is logged, as was suggested in an older post.
If it is, this is quite a serious privacy threat (since it could be used to determine location, as in the iPhone debacle), and it would be very valuable if someone can confirm this either way. My method should however provide protection against that.
It is almost certainly logged at the cellphone tower anyway, which amazon has access to, so this is really a non-issue with the only solution to leave wireless always turned off (including wifi), or physically remove the 3g modem. Removing modem drivers could be defeated by a firmware update.
I hope that we'll soon have an equivalent of geekmaster's awesome data.tar.gz/RUNME.sh combo for 5.1.0, so that I can make a one-time magic bullet that will even work on unjailbroken KTs.
It works on *MY* 5.1.0 (which is why my "secret" jailbreak method is still secret). Other developers have reported that my data.tar.gz works on 5.1.0 for them too, so what's the problem here?
Special thanks to geekmaster, without whom I wouldn't have a Kindle to hack!
You are welcome!
