Mobile operators have to certify devices, even if they don't include them in the portfolio. This is a consequence of commitments to a country's spectrum management organizations. If an operator expresses commitment, I would take this is a v

I want this anecdote about weev to be the first thing that people talk about when someone brings up any comparison to Weev. http://bedizen.livejournal.com/258763.html Comparing Weev to Aaron is like comparing the dali lama to hitler. Wee

Something I didn't understand at 18 (that I do at 35) is that your 'enemies' may be dealing with things you simply cannot understand. If a coworker is belligerent to an 18 year old, they are assholes. To a 35 year old (at least to me), the

7 million dead birds seems like it would be easy to video/photograph. Choosing to forego documentation that supports these claims has to be intentional.

trivially? please, more detail. Also: own is a loaded term. Please, more detail. Getting access to the sdcard is not the same as owning.

On windows mobile 6.0, you could send wap pushes that linked to signed apps which would auto-execute/install. right now, there aren't any vulns which are similar in danger that I am aware of. SMS isn't a super friendly medium for stack man

I work for a carrier. People simultaneously depend on our services and actively hope for our demise. So I hope you understand the context when I say you need to thicken your skin. The motivation for an attack is irrelevant. Threats are t

Code signining is a control that is intended to restrict the software that can run to only those apps which have been granted the right to run. Your second question is a good one, but given is context, it is unrelated. If apple signs a pyt

Charlie is one of the founders of the controversial "no more free bugs" movement. The amount of skill necessary to identify AND exploit bugs is so great that the bug reports themselves have value,far beyond attribution in the patch notesand

shocking that the popular press missstates anything tech. Charlie is extremely well known in the security community. They know who he is. This isnt their first trip to the rodeo with Charlie.

Defcon is cheap to attend. You should go sometime and get a feel for the event. If a trip to Vegas is out of your price range, go check visit Hot Topic. You'll get the proper feel. The Defcon crowd is awfully touristy. I mean that profe

Platforms that tightly coordinate with carriers were highly successful in the previous mobile cycle (prior to wm 6.1- so anything before 2008 really). The model has changed, however. Today, it's android & iphone that are driving the in

"Android phones are available for free from carriers." I can't find a way to interpret this statement and have it be true. There is no fee to use the o.s. The devices cost the carriers a great deal. They purchase them in bulk from the oem
