  I used a title that better reflects the story than the original one. More details, paper and video demo available on https://atcommands.org/ https://atcommands.org/.

  I looked at atcommands.org, saw no mention of iPhones. Am I correct in assuming that iPhones don't suffer from this vulnerability?

    The article says that they have AT commands also.

  See, that's interesting, because full control via USB cable is actually something I want and for which there seems to be no elegant solution. Kinda like the inverse of shazow's observation, "Sometimes I worry the NSA might be spying on me through my desktop's webcam. Then I remember it's Linux and even I can't get it to work."

  On the topic of flashing unsigned fw: could this used to root a phone that otherwise could not be?
