On the subject of mobile phone security, I thought this was a bit alarming & disappointing: http://www.osnews.com/story/27416/The_second_operating_system_hiding_in_every_mobile_phone Quote: "... Security researcher Ralf-Philipp Weinmann of the University of Luxembourg set out to reverse engineer the baseband processor software of both Qualcomm and Infineon, and he easily spotted loads and loads of bugs, scattered all over the place, each and every one of which could lead to exploits - crashing the device, and even allowing the attacker to remotely execute code. Remember: all over the air. One of the exploits he found required nothing more but a 73 byte message to get remote code execution. Over the air." _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
