[x] Catchy name
[ ] Catchy logo
Poor effort, only 50% of the way there. (No marks awarded for a working exploit, marketing doesn't care about that)
Edit: Marks should also be deducted for a lack of scary text claiming that everyone should panic.
- Scaevolus 4y agoSome sort of evil bee/cow hybrid with psychic (wifi) waves would work well as a logo, to help generate buzz.
- Manu40 4y agoI was thinking something similar. A cow with x's over the eyes, possibly glowing red; with antennae's instead of horns with wifi waves coming off them.
- gw99 4y agoI think we need a vulnerability buzzword bingo.
- ncmncm 4y agoJust to be clear, everyone really should panic. Right?
- kibwen 4y agoPlenty of Android devices have kernels that are too old to be vulnerable. Versions 5.1 and newer are vulnerable.
- sgt 4y agoWhich versions of Android would that translate to?
- llarsson 4y agoIt seems to me that Android version and kernel version are not linked in any meaningful way. My phone is Android 12 and the kernel is 4.19.x, which initially came out in 2018 (but is an LTS one, so it's fine).
- ncmncm 4y agoOlder kernels are instead vulnerable to older bugs, since fixed, of not less severity, but more systematically exploited.
- Wowfunhappy 4y agoDo you have any particular exploits in mind? The idea that you could gain RCE without the user doing anything except being in range of a wifi hotspot—no need to run an app, load a website, or even open an image—strikes me as exceptionally concerning. It's not quite the holy grail of "connect this device to the internet anywhere in the world and get hacked within minutes", but it's coming close.
