SEC Consult Vulnerability Lab released a new whitepaper titled: Blackberry Z10 Research Primer - "Dissecting Blackberry 10 - An initial analysis"
Abstract: --------- In 2013, Blackberry has presented a brand new operating system which significantly differs from others presented on the smartphone market. A very high security level is announced, and the expectations are corresponding. Some analytics consider this as the last chance for Blackberry "to get back in the big game" and stand in the row with such giants as iOS and Android. The goal of this whitepaper is to show an approach for testing the new Blackberry 10 operating system and to identify vulnerabilities on a new Blackberry 10 device. A set of methods and tools has been developed. In the paper we will: * Discuss specifics of the operating system * Check for vulnerabilities "by design" * Talk about fuzzers * Test default utilities * Dump the "boot sector" * Mention other interesting entry points / notices * Propose further steps for future research Whitepaper URL: --------------- https://www.sec-consult.com/en/Vulnerability-Lab/Whitepapers.htm => Direct link: https://www.sec-consult.com/fxdata/seccons/prod/downloads/sec_consult_vulnerability_lab_blackberry_z10_initial_analysis_v10.pdf Author: ------- Alexander Antukh SEC Consult Vulnerability Lab ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SEC Consult Unternehmensberatung GmbH Office Vienna Mooslackengasse 17 A-1190 Vienna Austria Tel.: +43 / 1 / 890 30 43 - 0 Fax.: +43 / 1 / 890 30 43 - 25 Mail: research at sec-consult dot com Web: https://www.sec-consult.com Blog: http://blog.sec-consult.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/sec_consult _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
