White Hackers

In today’s how to we will be discussing on how to hack a Windows Phone 8. Every hacker should know about the internals of a device and operating system before he could attempt to compromise it. So lets try to understand the underlying hardware and OS security before we try to break it. To begin, we will try to compromise the hardware so that we can gain access to the hardware and then exploit the OS and ultimately take control of it or at least to steal data from it. Windows Phone employs UEFI Firmware Hardware at the very low level. In addition to that, every hardware which runs Windows Phone 8 OS has to be certified by Microsoft. Now when we say certified, it also means that all the hardware has to be signed and the chips will be burned with the keys from Microsoft. The “Trusted Boot Chain” component will make sure that all the signatures are in place and if they are valid before and during the process. Every program written in the silicon chip has ...

That four-digit passcode you have installed on your iPhone might slow snoops down, but it won't stop them. Forbes  is reporting that in some cases, it takes less than two minutes to crack the code. Micro Systemation is a Swedish company that sells software capable of skirting privacy controls on iOS and Android gadgets. Law enforcement and military agencies use this software in order to access data on devices used by criminal suspects. In a video (see below) Micro Systemation is able to hack an iPhone in just seconds. Granted, the password wasn't very complicated – it was "0000." Forbes explains that the hack is possible through a Micro Systemation application called XRY, which deciphers the phone's password, siphons its data to a computer, and decrypts it in order to gain data like GPS logs, call history, contacts, text messages, keystrokes, and so forth. XRY works a lot like a jailbreak, Forbes said. The Micro Systemation team doesn't look for backd...

A GSM mobile phone user in India is not very safe from hacking attacks, a security company has demonstrated. Four founding members of a company called Matrix Shell say they have worked out a way to hack into India GSM phone numbers and make calls from them. They were able to use the unique SIM card number called International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) of their target victims. Using a firmware called Osmocom and using software written by them on it, they successfully hacked into GSM phones at a recent security conference. More Details

# 1 --  Physical Access to the Phone  -- Obviously, if a person can get physical access to a cell phone, even for a few seconds, it's game over. The person can clone it, place a remote spying tool on the phone or download the pictures and information directly to their own account. #2 --  Hacking Email, Twitter and Apps  -- Most celebrities are hacked through email, Twitter and other accounts that they use on their phones. This is what happened to Scarlett Johanson, Kreayshawn, Mila Kunis and Christina Aguillera, among others -- and it may also be the reason for the more recent hacks on Heather Morris and Christina Hendricks. #3 --  Social Engineer the Phone Company  -- In 2005, hackers stole nude pictures of Paris Hilton by getting access to her T-Mobile Sidekick II, a precursor to today's smartphones. How did they do it? They  impersonated  a T-Mobile support tech over the phone and tricked T-Mobile employees into giving them access to the c...
