Patent attributes
An electronic device is provided for control of an execution of a third-party application based on a blacklisting function. The electronic device includes circuitry that executes a monitor application that is a part of an operating system rooted onto the electronic device. The monitor application has system privileges to examine the code and execution of the third-party application installed on the electronic device. The circuitry identifies, by the monitor application, one or more requests to access a network resource from a runtime code of the third-party application. The circuitry extracts, by the monitor application, one or more first network resource identifiers associated with the network resource from the one or more requests. The circuity compares, by the monitor application, the first network resource identifiers with the blacklist associated with the monitor application. The circuitry controls, by the monitor application, the execution of the third-party application based on the comparison.
