Hot microphone an Iphone -or- any smartphone for that matter
Posted by admin on November 20th, 2007 filed in Cyber Terrorism, digital forensics, mobile phoneThis article detailed how to use metasploit to exploit an Iphone. After sucessfully exploiting the Iphone, the hacker will have root access and can do virtually anything to the phone. In the article, the author uploads a “hot microphone” software application which is designed to record sounds unannounced to the Iphones owner and saves separate files which the attacker can retrieve at a later date. If your one of those that works in a black faraday building or on occasion wears a tin foil hat, you might want to “check” your mobile device at the door when you’re talking about sensitive information.
If you haven’t seen mobile device “hacking” then this should be an eye opener for you. I hope everyone is up to speed on personal device security. Sshould you feel the need to “refresh your memory”, this book is a good start. Happy reading.
