What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the default mode for IPTABLES to be DROP instead of ACCEPT even for
the brief moment before droidwall has successfully started up upon boot.
Please provide any additional information below.
Since root is needed (in order to use droidwall) it would be nice if droidwall
could create some sort of script that is runned before any app is allowed to
start (when the device boots up) so that the default (when whitelist is
enabled) would be something like:
# Policy for chains DROP everything.
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P OUTPUT DROP
iptables -P FORWARD DROP
This would stop the leakage described in the url above.
