Devices always perform its unique function

Maj 3rd, 2012 i Nyheter av Stafneesmith

he fact that modern mobile gadgets become overgrown with additional functionality – it is a natural process. These digital assistants are always on hand, and thus are able to solve the most pressing user-defined tasks. Appearing in the life of the consumer as a substitute for paper organizer, smart phones already represent a miracle of convergence, bringing together ”in a bottle” is not only the traditional calendar, ToDo-lists and mailbox – this is an organizer, and media center, and a scattering of customers for a variety of social services. As well as navigation, e-book reader and a means to connect to a cloud infrastructure.  Can be a long debate about the benefits and dangers of this universality, emphasizing the fact that specialized devices always perform its unique function better than their counterparts converged multi-functional. And you can just imagine how many would have specialized to carry a person instead of one universal device. The more often that most of the functions it performs, if not better, certainly no worse than his spetsanalog.  Take, for example, the mobile Internet. Thanks to technology 3G (and in some places – and 4G) to obtain information from the web at decent speeds, it became very real. At the same 3G infrastructure is an order of magnitude more advanced than, for example, network access points, Wi-Fi (in the province for sure). Enough to buy a mobile phone operator, and a special rate plan … stop. In the load for this rate plan usually goes operator’s 3G-modem – USB-gadget, which is inserted and the SIM-card holder rate plan. It is necessary to connect a modem to a computer and internet access is open. Convenient? How do you say. First, in the connected devayse be USB-port. Yes, most desktops, notebooks and netbooks have them in an amount not less than two pieces. And what planshetovodam? In addition to the USB-interface equipped gadgets free port will never be over. And secondly (this is important), the acquisition of 3G-modem for most users – something quite profitable. Indeed, support for this communication standard has become the norm for modern smartphones. So why not take the responsibility of a specialized unit and does not turn when the need for 3G-modem? Add, so to speak, another function in the treasury of their convergence. Especially as their smaller brothers – ordinary mobile phones with 3G – has long mastered the role of a modem, ”tied” to the computer via USB or Bluetooth-channel. Support for such a binding is called Tethering. The leader of the support functions Tethering on their mobile devices has always been a company BlackBerry.  Mobile phone operating in Tethering-mode is bound to only one that accesses the internet gadget. And if you want to access the Internet was just a few devices? In this case, will MiFi – mobile access point 3G/4G-internetu via Wi-Fi. MiFi actually performs the role of carrier of the 3G-modem, but it allows you to connect to the internet several devaysa simultaneously. Remember Modem Yota EGG? This is an example MiFi – highly specialized device. Today’s smartphones and 3G-have access to the Internet, and the full range of communication interfaces. They are easily able to turn and Tethering-modem and access point MiFi. And with these functions, they do an excellent job!  How to Mobile Hotspot turn gadgets on Symbian and Maemo, we have already mentioned. And as this state of affairs in today’s market leaders in mobile platforms – operating systems, Android and iOS? Tethering on the Android and iOS: the ideological differences  Technologically, the organization functions on Android Tethering and iOS no big deal. Just create a link smartphone and your computer (it can be a USB-connection, Bluetooth DUN (Bluetooth Dialup Networking) or Wi-Fi-network mode Ad-Hoc) and somehow adjust the routing of packets between the computer interface and 3G-smartphone. You can do this, thoroughly dig deeper into the functions of the operating system kernel, responsible for routing (routing) and remote access to network resources (remote access), or turning smartphone into a proxy server – an intermediary that forwards requests from a browser or other client programs on a computer on the Internet via SOCKS.  And as and Android, and iOS basically have a Unix-compatible kernel (for Android – a version of Linux, while iOS – Unix BSD), then such solutions designed for adults platforms, invented a lot. Suffice to port them to the mobile platform. And this is where Android has a distinct advantage over iOS. As the project with open source operating system Google allows developers to use not only the functions and interfaces provided as part of development tools, and get to the Linux-kernel functions, having the right system administrator (root-access). This operation, known as the world’s iOS jailbreak to put it mildly, is not welcomed by Apple. This is evidenced by ever more sophisticated ways of covering the possibility of jailbreaking the new firmware iOS. But in the world of Android root-access – a common phenomenon. The only thing that prevents Google, so it is on full responsibility for data loss and other problems associated with root-access, which are entirely borne by the owner of the Google Phone. Ability to implement a function Tethering laid the ideological basis of the open source Android.  Not surprisingly, the Android Market application peacefully coexist with programs that require root-access, and the world’s first iOS for a App Store, and for the latter – multiple repositories, you can connect to using the package manager Cydia. Android Tethering: affectionate robot  All decisions on the organization functions on Android Tethering can be divided into formal (officially distributed by the built-in firmware  Android) and home-made, or, as it is now fashionable to say, custom – the solution offered by independent developers. The latter, in turn, are subdivided into not require root-access and require management to Android as an administrator Mobile phone spy.  Officially Portable Hotspot feature introduced in version of Android 2.2. It is possible to connect the google phone as a 3G-modem to any computer running Windows and Linux, using a USB, and connect up to eight computers (regardless of them installed on your operating system) via Wi-Fi.  Function Portable Hotspot officially introduced in Android version 2.2.  Officially, getting the opportunity to give online, Android Mobile spyware for some time ahead of iOS. But with one small correction: the function of Hotspot it was only on the platforms Android 2.2 and above. But what about the old owners guglofonov OS version, of which inhibition by manufacturers to produce firmware gathered a legion? Here it is, and come to the aid of custom solutions, discussed below

Our mobile phones are small computers become real as we use computer terminals. Y accommodate cell phone spyware application is within reach – almost – everyone and has become a lucrative business for cyber-criminals. Edifying.Marco Ricca, a security specialist, shows how to spy a mobile phone is within reach – almost – everyon There are about fifteen years, most computer viruses were created by simple game of ”little geniuses” pimply teenagers. They operated without profit, the software vulnerabilities of operating systems, with a preference for the big and nasty Microsoft. In 15 years the world of computer technology has radically changed. It spread to the whole population – or nearly – and all private and business activities, especially the ordering and payment online as well as social networks. It also assists in the transfer of the PC desktop to the laptop, and more recently to the smartphone.Modern day pirates are highly motivated by monetary profit from the sale of confidential information obtained so illegal, have understood that the mobile phone and its flaws became an inexhaustible source of new profits. Our smartphones are condensed high technology. This necessarily implies that, at their various operating systems, many doors remained open to curious and unexpected criminals of all kinds.THE SPYWARE. The story of the TSR of 7:30 p.m. on April 3 (2010 ed) has excited audiences Romand. Marco Ricca, a renowned computer security, founder and director of the company IRIS (swissiris.com) demonstrated, with supporting pictures, as almost anyone can acquire and install free cell phone spy software on your smartphone, then listen and record all transactions on this phone. This goes so far as companies no longer allow the physical presence of mobile phones during meetings where issues are discussed ”sensitive”. It is easy to find spyware for smartphones freely available on the web and reach of all budgets. However, installing such software on a phone, it should in principle have on hand for a few minutes.

SMS FATAL. The most surprising information revealed by Marco Ricca is that cell phone spy software app can be installed without your knowledge by receiving an SMS, so that no third parties without physically touching your phone. Contacted by The Gruyère, Marco Ricca provided the following: ”I can confirm that the attack to run a software (malware) by simply sending an SMS or viewing a Web page is possible in theory any ”smartphone” and any operating system. It suffices to do this to exploit a vulnerability (remote code execution type, eg buffer overflow) in the software processing the SMS or the Web page. In practice, some telephones are more vulnerable than others. Several shortcomings of this type cell phone listening device have recently been discovered in the iPhone. ” Marco Ricca wants reassuring, however, stating that such an attack is not trivial and that in case of espionage, it would be implemented in a very targeted manner Also according to our interlocutor, there is no universal method to know if its smartphone was trapped. Should you have any doubt, the easiest way is to backup your data and then do a ”reset” your complete unit. Take this opportunity to also install the latest version of the operating system (firmware), in which the known vulnerabilities have been corrected.
