Not that the latest versions are safe, if you have Ice Cream Sandwich, or Jelly Bean, you can be more or less calm. The problem is that previous versions had many vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, older versions are still widespread. X-Ray is an application that has been developed to detect whether your phone is vulnerable.

One of the problems of X-Ray is his name, and title it shares with hundreds of applications that claim to be able to find X-ray shots of our body. We all know that these applications are not real and do not work. However, X-Ray , developed by Duo Security, is much more useful. It is like antivirus or conventional security applications, but is something that has a very different purpose, that of detecting if your device is vulnerable or not.

Older versions of Android, such as Gingerbread or Honeycomb, have security flaws that hackers exploit many experts to penetrate the system and obtain data that can be very private, such as certain photographs, messages, data access certain services, and even banking passwords. X-Ray aims to expose the vulnerabilities that have the devices so that, at least, if no solution, users are aware of what they have.
X-Ray is a free application, however, is not available in Google Play, so you will have to be downloaded directly from the developer page . To install, you should first go to Settings> Security> Unknown sources, and checking this box, which is what allows us to install applications that do not come from Google Play.
