kesuki's Journal: Intrusion detection software for android devices?

I have an android phone, and while i can set a password and there are many tools for it, i have yet to see an intrusion detection system in the 'google play' store. sourceforge has a AIDE project that supports the 2.6 kernel powering the android phone but without rooting the phone i can't figure out how to do an IDS. there are antivirus but with only a dual core at 1.2 ghz it sucks the battery dry to have a conventional AV system. i don't have the skills to port AIDE to my phone, and google play is full of malware especially in the game section. my carrier disclaimes any fault for security breaches, or privacy protection. so is there a battery saving solution to android security?

You want Whisper - with Whisper Monitor. You can block with the firewall, and monitor/block all outbound connectivity.

This comes from Moxie Marlinspike - so I have a high level of trust in the app.
