You are right, if the security sandbox is broken, then you have lost control. But at the same time, you also know that only 0.3% of the Android user base is using this year's version, and less than 25% are using last year's versio

There are lots of ways to get access to this data, installing an app is a pretty convenient and common way to do so. Any app can be hacked with enough effort. The Tesla app provided absolutely no resistance, and technically no privilege esc

I'm not sure where this quote came from, but I can say that the Tesla app should avoid storing the OAuth token in cleartext. Disclaimer: I work for Promon. See our blog post: https://promon.co/blog/

Yes, in our case we did MITM to display ads for a "free burger" app containing malware. The app was hosted on Google Play. And, you're right. Once we have access to the phone we can probably do a lot worse than just stealing

At the end of the day, a username and password is everything you need to drive off with any app enabled Tesla. You can perform your attack in a number of different ways to achieve this, but setting up a free wifi hotspot near a Tesla super

The OAuth token is also stored in plain text on the device. This is by itself enough to locate, track and unlock the car. The app prompts the user for the username/password in order to start the car. Mandatory disclaimer: I'm affi

I don't want Facebook Messenger, and the Facebook app cannot be uninstalled on my device since it came preinstalled with the Android OS on it (HTC One - it can however be disabled). Now, if someone uses Facebook Messenger to send me

Isn't this really just a sign of flawed hardware design? In my opinion hardware should be designed so that the camera LED lamp should always be lit if the camera is used. If there is a malfunction with the LED, then the camera should a

UDP (and TCP) are built on top of IP. You can add other things on top of IP also, but they will be blocked by your average firewall.

I must add Asciidoctor. Which is mostly compatible with Asciidoc, but even more powerful. I have spent a lot of time trying to make Asciidoc create beautiful PDFs for technical documentation, but Asciidoctor makes it all a lot easier to cus

These are the EU mandated car safety checks, focusing on breaks, tires, lights, visibility and exhaust. It is required every 2nd year starting from when the car is 4 years old. Most car manufacturers will do this as part of the standard ser

The problem here is that most libraries need to integrate into some sort of main loop somehow, and unfortunately there are lots of different ways of doing the main loop of the application. Some libraries integrate other things which are not

The average car tax in Norway is on average 102%. Electric cars, and Hydrogen cars have no tax. The effect is that the Tesla model S cost roughly the same as a BMW 5-series, or Mercedes E-class. Non-zero-emission cars aren't exactly fi

This was precisely addressed by Sir Alexander Fleming's 1945 Nobel Prize speech: “But I would like to sound one note of warning. Penicillin is to all intents and purposes non-poisonous so there is no need to worry about giving an overd

The problem is that antibiotics is simply too cheap. The next generations will be a lot more expensive due to the cost of developing it. Sadly, this means that many will die not affording the medicine.

Norway was not affected by WW1 directly, but Hitler occupied Norway during WW2. When the Soviets came to the rescue, the Germans burned down everything as they withdrew from the northern parts. The most populated areas were largely not affe

I use client side TLS certificates for several things, but usually not in a browser. This allows me to check on my server that there is no MITM between the user/device and the server. The user may be inclined to click "OK" an

Maybe, but in the mean time we have C++.

by janvidar 11y ago
C doesn't even have strings, but you would typically be using char arrays instead. All you need is a pointer to the array in order to access it. However, if you just have the pointer then you are lacking to essential pieces of informat

It is not entirely irrelevant. Given that there are more developers familiar with HTML development, it may lower the barrier to developing plug-ins, or providing patches.

Really? I don't remember Windows Mobile having any relevance. Symbian was pretty much alone at the throne for years before iOS and Android.

How about a virtual machine? E.g. kvm, virtualbox, or similar?
