Abstract
A collection agent monitors a mobile network for data samples containing executable code. The collection agent accepts executables and forwards them to a sample collection center for further analysis, reporting, or in some instances initiating one or more mitigating actions. Depending on the network protocol being monitored, the collection agent responds to connection attempts from nearby mobile devices.
