Application Privacy Report

You can use AppView to generate a report on an application or process. AppView will instrument a process and any children created after the time AppView was loaded into it.

This might be useful for:

  • Individuals concerned about their Privacy
  • Security experts intending to understand an application's behavior, or create a footprint of an application.

Generating a Report

You can load AppView into a new process like:

appview git fetch  # Run `git fetch` with AppView loaded
appview report     # Generate a report of network and file system activity

Pro Tip: Create reports on previous AppView sessions using the --id flag to identify a session.
