Hello! I am trying to develop a packet sniffer for Android. From what I have searched around the best approach seems to be porting the libpcap library to Android and use it with JNI. However, libpcap (or every other sniffing library for that matter) requires root access to sniff the packets. Now I know that sniffing packets is a privileged operation in Linux kernel and can't be bypassed.
My questions are following: a) Is there some technique to provide temporary root access to our application in Android as it is possible in Linux? b) Is there some library apart from libcap which would allow me to capture packets without requiring root access? c) Is there some other method in Android to capture packets?
