Re: Pen-Test Blackberry

[Erin Carroll <amoeba () amoebazone com>]

Here are a couple of things to check:

The BES will most likely be on the internal IP space and usually resides 
in the same tier as internal webservers etc (but not in the DMZ). Some 
orgaznizations firewall off particular internal servers dependent upon 
department or similar to restrict internal access to information assets. 
If this is the case in yuor org, try browsing to those internal webserber 
IP's with a Blackberry handheld. Since the BES is the source connection 
internally, your handheld will be able to bypass internal FW rules and 
allow anyone with a BES-keyed blackberry to access those internal sites. 
Rarely have I seen a BES infrastructure where that loophole is locked 
down.

Someone else mentioned loss of handheld=unauthorized access to your 
network/email/Intellectual Property. Make sure that proxy logging per SID 
is enabled to allow for tracking.
