Praetorian503 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Posted February 15, 2013 Description: The talk aims to provide an introduction into the Windows Phone 7 (WP7) security model to allow security professionals and application developers understand the unique platform security features offered. Currently very little public information is available about Windows Phone 7 OS security preventing adequate determination of the risk exposed by WP7 devices.The ever increasing challenges and stages of exploitation an attacker has to overcome to achieve full compromise will be discussed. The talk will outline the implementation of these security features and will demonstrate weaknesses and vulnerabilities an attacker could use to bypass the multiple levels of platform security.A number of OEM manufacturer weaknesses, "features?" will be discussed and a demonstration of how these "features" can be abused in conjunction with conventional exploits to achieve full compromise of the phone will be performed. The talk will demonstrate how OEM phone manufacturers can weaken the security posture of an otherwise strong granular security model and also demonstrate how targeted attacks can be made which leverage this OEM "functionality" to compromise sensitive information.Alex Plaskett held this talk at the DeepSec 2011 security conference.Disclaimer: We are a infosec video aggregator and this video is linked from an external website.
