Cura is a mobile phone application bundle of remote systems administration tools. It provides a personalized terminal emulator, a syslog module that allows for reading logs directly from a server, a SysMonitor module that visually graphs CPU and RAM usage percentages, access to Nmap, and Server Stats will offer general server information like its Vitals, Hardware information, Memory information, processes, and so on. A security feature will be implemented that allows users to have Cura's database completely wiped upon them sending the compromised phone a secret pattern of their choosing (e.g. send an SMS message containing "phone has been stolen!" to your Android phone to wipe Cura's database, and receive the location of the compromised phone as an SMS to your emergency phone number or as an email to your emergency email address).
