Micro Systemation (MSAB) - XRY

So what is XRY? it is a tool which allows one to perform forensic extraction mobile data from a wide variety of mobile devices. From MSAB website:

“Extracting data from mobile / cell phones is a specialist skill and not the same as recovering information from computers. Most mobile devices don't share the same operating systems and are proprietary embedded devices which have unique configurations and operating systems. What does that mean in terms of getting data out of them? Well in simple terms, it means it is very difficult to do.

XRY has been designed and developed to make that process a lot easier for you, with support for over 6,600 different mobile device profiles. We supply a complete solution to get you what you need and the software guides you through the process step by step to make it as easy as possible.”

So phone hacking has become more easy for those with money. Well I don’t think it be a price affordable by some millionaire rich kid. Unless he is Justin Bieber or the kids from Harry Potter, anyway here is a video of them cracking the Iphone and easily extracting personal information from it:

 

Now this makes you wonder is it really ok to ignore your phone being stolen if there is a lot of personal information and pictures in it. Well there are other available tools to do password dumping but not so user-friendly as this one as this has a user friendly instruction too. Interested to purchase it? Here are the contact details:

Android Exploits

Android is a mobile operating system, pretty much most of you guys are using phone with such operating system on it now days. People have been talking about how bad are micrcosoft product compare to open source software or operating system. But have they ever thought with open source market, people can create all kind of application free download.

“Android specialist Jon Oberheide demonstrated another hole which involved misusing the Account Manager to generate an authentication token for the Android Market and obtaining permission to install further apps from there. However, this initially requires a specially crafted app to be installed on the smartphone. Nothing could be easier: Oberheide released the allegedly harmless "Angry Birds Bonus Levels" app intothe Android Market and, upon installation, this app downloaded and installed three further apps ("Fake Toll Fraud", "Fake Contact Stealer" and "Fake Location Tracker") without requesting the user's permission.

The privileges of "Fake Tool Fraud" included the right to send premium SMS messages. Google has since removed all of Oberheide's apps from the Market. Back in June, Oberheide had already used an app to demonstrate an Android vulnerability. At the time, Google used the remote deletion feature, available on Android devices, for the first time. ”  Read more…

Android is beginning to face what Microsoft have been facing all this while. But so far I have not seen any bad critics yet then again sooner or later maybe yes.

 

Wikipedia:
Android (operating system)
Android is a mobile operating system initially developed by Android Inc., a firm purchased by Google in 2005.^[4] Android is based upon a modified version of the Linux kernel. It is a participant in the Open Handset Alliance.^[5] Unit sales for Android OS smartphones ranked first among all smartphone OS handsets sold in the U.S. in the second and third quarters of 2010,^[6][7][8] with a third quarter market share of 43.6%.^[9]

Android has a large community of developers writing application programs ("apps") that extend the functionality of the devices. There are currently over 100,000 apps available for Android.^[10][11] Android Market is the online app store run by Google, though apps can be downloaded from third party sites (except on AT&T, which disallows this). Developers write in the Java language, controlling the device via Google-developed Java libraries.^[12]

The unveiling of the Android distribution on 5 November 2007 was announced with the founding of the Open Handset Alliance, a consortium of 78 hardware, software, and telecom companies devoted to advancing open standards for mobile devices.^[13][14] Google released most of the Android code under the Apache License, a free software and open source license.^[15]

The Android operating system software stack consists of Java applications running on a Java based object oriented application framework on top of Java core libraries running on a Dalvik virtual machine featuring JIT compilation. Libraries written in C include the surface manager, OpenCore^[16] media framework, SQLite relational database management system, OpenGL ES 2.0 3D graphics API, WebKit layout engine, SGL graphics engine, SSL, and Bionic libc. The Android operating system consists of 12 million lines of code including 3 million lines of XML, 2.8 million lines of C, 2.1 million lines of Java, and 1.75 million lines of C++.^[17]

Mobile Bloggin?

I was just testing out this function Blogger has and well it does work but my picture never showed up. I took a picture and send it by mms, what have happened to the picture I took and mms? I don't know. I only see the Title and well no text as you all can see in the previous post.

Well for any of you guys who is interested, you can activate the mobile blogging by going under setting in your blogger account, then in setting you see a few tabs. Click the "Email" tab and you will see somewhere below there is like your username.(your secret username)@blogger.com. After filling up that empty space after your username, you can use your mobile to send mms or email to that address and well it be directly posted or maybe set as draft depending on what option you choose :)
