Abstract
Methods and apparatus for monitoring a portable device are disclosed herein. An example method includes connecting to a portable device using a shell. Whether the shell has an elevated privilege on the portable device is verified. In response to detecting that the shell does not have the elevated privilege, the elevated privilege is gained. A packet capturer is installed on the portable device using the elevated privilege, the packet capturer to capture packets to produce media exposure data, the elevated privileges to enable the packet capturer to capture packets after disconnection of the shell from the portable device.
