Android Mobile Application turned into “killer” security

The dangerous attacks sometimes come from very small applications for mobile phones so insanely
Smart.

An application called Anti, or Android will present Network Toolkit
Android on the counter this week, which revealed the company’s security
Zimperium security in a global hacker conference Defcon (taking place in Las
Vegas, USA), was designed only to test the ability to find holes inside jacuzzi
in the computer system only. Anti will mobilize all the tools
hack is to penetrate from the computer to the smartphone, with a delivery
automation interface, ability to fool the network and the remote host processor
“Simple as peel candy.”


Zimperium declare all
they want to create a powerful test tool for intrusion
mass use. “You will do what that hacker just made a high level
was, with his own cricket, “said Zimperium.
The free application includes a scanning tool to detect Wi-Fi
nearby networks, and show all the potential target devices
power. A tracking software will reveal the IP address of the remote server.
After the user identifies the target, this application will display a
simple menu with commands such as “Man-in-the-middle” to eavesdrop
devices nearby, or even “Attack.” This application will open
exploitation of vulnerabilities have been set on the database as Metasploit
and ExploitDB – through vulnerabilities in the software not be updated
to defeat the target date.
At this point, Anti merely “equipped with” relatively few mechanisms in
extraction: a flaw in the worm windows had been dug in the year
2009, a default SSH password bug in the iPhone unlocking, the
exploiting a software version of a weak, old life of Android …. Zimperium
has also developed a trojan for Windows Anti execute the
automatic commands on the compromised machine, sort of like taking pictures,
on the CD …
Immediately, Anti raised a controversy at Defcon
about the risks and potential dangers of it. A hacker can enter a
cafe or office of a business and use any
his voice to scour the gaffe machine henh, then steal data
or malware infection.
Although Zimperium for terms of use of the service will limit the
hack the user’s ability to “test the intrusion in a harmless”
but very few people believed it. Hackers can easily break and instead
change the terms of use, then, smartphone becomes the ‘butcher di
the “raging in every corner that no one can prevent.
A security expert working for the
an unnamed defense contractor called Anti “a knife, can opener was
fast but … dirty. ” “It turned into a hack like gaming, it is
sick, “Don Bailey specialist security firm average ISEC Partners
Comment.
Zimperium itself also
acknowledged that “we could use it for purposes dangerous
insurance, though honestly we hope they will not. But
One thing we know for sure, you will realize
more security and it is our goal. ”
