While working with a client he was asking what the easiest way to baseline is or profile an application that is on a smartphone or tablet. Specifically they wanted to know how much different an android web browser would behave compared to its windows counterpart.
Their main concern was that they didnt have a WiFi device that could capture packets. Of course there are several components to this such as the IP, TCP layers as well as the web browser, but in this video I show how you can start to profile some of these apps using your computer and some free software.
