Changes to Apple MDM for iOS 5.x
Last Saturday (January 28), I presented an updated talk on Apple’s iOS MDM system at ShmooCon 8. I had a great time, and really enjoyed all the questions and nice comments I received afterwards.

Ubertooth: Bluetooth Address Breakdown
The IG crew is just heading back from ShmooCon, which reminds me of last year’s awesome talk on the Ubertooth One. Intrepidus backed the kickstarter project and, as promised, got 2 Ubertooths.

Although some content was similar to our PlayBook talk at SecTor 2011, there were some very notable additions. In particular, we [...]
Android Backdoor Fail – The Kindle Fire Easter Egg
Happy New Year! And for all you Kindle Fire owners, happy early Easter as well. TeamAndIRC released their code and write-up for BurritoRoot which restores root level ADB access on the Kindle Fire. There were other ways to root the Fire before the latest update from Amazon, but this one is attention deserving because of [...]
