I really don't understand this article. It's like it's some kind of surprise that GSM modems run firmware on their processors. It's so obvious, yet everyone seems surprised and shares this article like it was something insightful. Probably you know this, but I feel like clearing it up to some other readers that may be confused: This whole topic is exactly about such "OS hiding in the modem" and I guess everyone who was following Openmoko struggling with firmware bugs already know that it's buggy and probably not very hard to exploit (AFAIR even some pretty standard GPRS usage may cause buffer overflows). -- Sebastian Krzyszkowiak, dos http://dosowisko.net/ _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
