mobile security

Windows Mobile/PPC is again back in the news. This time, Colin Muilliner demonstrates how to crash a Windows Mobile device by flooding it with MMS messages.

Basically, the phone can be DoS’d by flooding it with over-sized MMS messages. Colin has posted the exploit code here. This is great for attackers since Windows Mobile accepts all notifications sent via WLAN broadcast addresses. So next time you’re in a cafe and your inbox starts filling up in a mucho-rapido fashion, you’ll know what’s up.
