indeed. but as indicated, this system tried easy and known attacks first (including checking for "su" on device without authorization. did anyone click to give root to some strange app?) only when the easy and known attacks failed did the more advanced attacks take place. these were increasingly more interesting / novel attacks.
but the method, is pathetically old, and, hiding behind some lame android-root, as most of these ppl do... when i see them lever, linux, with NO html, ill maybe like them abit :P~~
not sure what this means, but i like the idea of "NO html" ;)
meh.. so whats new... hijacking a phone botnet would be fun but,
not a botnet; a phone pilfering and surveillance network targeted at Rio attendees. a number of the attacks would only work and/or remain active while on the MitM network - designed with limited scope and longevity.
i dont see why would bother scanning for them.. when, i have and, theyre pretty useless... well, maybe for android freaks...and, this is simple a root exploit or, exoploit being levered, thru an LD
scanning for what? the intent was pretty clear and seemed entirely useful to the attackers: pilfer data from phones, leverage pwnd phones for surveillance within the conference / among attendees. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
