You had me interested until "..based on Android."
What we need is more original codebases in the mobile ecosystem, not endless modifications on top of the same old shaky foundation.
- conradev 11y agoThat shaky foundation also has a large ecosystem of useful software. I guess it doesn't need to be "based on Android" to run Android apps, though. I'm not too familiar with security on Android (much more familiar with iOS) – what are the weakest links?
- dsl 11y agoAndroid 0days at this point are so numerous, I find they are relatively worthless compared to time invested elsewhere. Other people seem to have the same experience (i've seen offers of double that amount for iOS remotes): http://blogs-images.forbes.com/andygreenberg/files/2012/11/exploitpricechart.jpg http://blogs-images.forbes.com/andygreenberg/files/2012/11/e...
- strcat 11y agoAndroid vulnerabilities aren't more numerous than iOS vulnerabilities. The key difference is that 97% of Android devices do not get security updates. There is no need for 0 day vulnerabilities for attackers, in general. Few users have Nexus devices.
