| Permission | Typical Reason | Red‑Flag Indicators | |------------|----------------|---------------------| | android.permission.INTERNET | Network communication | Normal, but verify the endpoint. | | android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE | Check connectivity | Normal. | | android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE | Keep a persistent service alive | Expected for remote agents. | | android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW (draw‑over‑other‑apps) | Show UI overlays (e.g., remote screen control) | – can be abused for phishing. | | android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE | Device ID, network info | Sensitive – consider if truly needed. | | android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO / CAMERA | Voice or video streaming | Critical – only accept if the app explicitly requires it (e.g., remote assistance). | | android.permission.BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN | Device‑admin privileges (wipe, lock) | Very high risk – only grant if you trust the vendor fully. |
