“Hacking Mobiles” is returning to TROOPERS, after a hunt for missing John in the past course, this year’s course is split into two practical parts concerned with malware on iOS & Android and current state of Windows Phone 8 / 8.1. Yet again, both courses are stuffed with juicy information and loads of hands-on experience!
Windows Phone 8 / 8.1 has been thriving and prospering well throughout the last few months, so how has it been doing so far? This course will give a practical insight into flaws and features of Windows Phone 8.1. A short walkthrough will show how to nicely configure a Windows phone, followed by a practical session demonstrating what happens when something’s been done wrong. Above configuration vs. misconfiguration, practical attacks against the platform will be performed, at least the few that have been documented and the ones that one just has to try, to reveal the current security state of WP8.
Above the actual content, the training will show basic penetration testing skills and platform evaluation methods.
