Chapter 249 Backdoor
After successfully solving the problems caused by Apple's patent lawsuit, Duke did not return to the front line of research and development as usual. He was angered by Apple and the guys who took advantage of the situation. The clay man was also angry. Duke, who was originally planning to follow the rules and follow the right path, was angry by this patent war.
Duke, who is now full of anger, vows to retaliate against these guys who took advantage of the situation.
The conventional means are left to the company for execution. Duke wants to give these companies a profound lesson, of course it is not just the conventional means. Since he has leading technology, he will not take advantage of it on this basis, how can Duke be willing to be willing? If he doesn't show his power, he will really think that he is a good baby.
Of course, Duke will not bloom in full swing, but will directly target Apple. From the product perspective, ios is undoubtedly the most core part of Apple's products, so Duke's ultimate goal is directly aimed at ios.
Duke believes that since it is an operating system, there will definitely be vulnerabilities. His goal is to find these vulnerabilities and then give attack methods, so that the vulnerabilities of iOS are released in one of the sunshine, thus discrediting Apple's reputation and clearing the way for the high-end products of the new Nokia Mobile.
After the goal was determined, after getting the complete iOS mobile operating system from the iPhone, Duke began to ask Kerry to conduct a comprehensive analysis. Good guy, under Kerry's preliminary scan, IOS was found with many vulnerabilities. Of course, most of the vulnerabilities are not too serious.
Kerry can even analyze and optimize large systems like crashlinux. Facing the small point of iOS, although there is no source code for reference and it is difficult to analyze binary execution code, Kerry now only needs to find out the execution logic and functions of these codes, and then find things that may cause system crashes or data loss, or be controlled by others. The difficulty is much smaller than decompiling the system.
According to this rule, under Kerry's analysis, the ios' loopholes were nowhere to be hidden, and more than ten flaws were quickly found.
Through simple applications, Kerry has developed a copy and send all information in machines such as iPads and iPhones using the iOS system, including pictures, music, videos, calendars and other data.
But these are not big problems. Common vulnerabilities such as this are always exposed here or somewhere in the operating system of mobile phones. Even Windows or Linux can be installed on it to do this.
However, these all require an application to be installed on it externally.
Kerry directly discovered a hidden functional service in the ios kernel. This service program has been running sleepily, basically doing nothing, just looping and waiting for a special wake-up command.
Once awakened, this program has high operating permissions, such as starting the camera in the machine at any time, passing its data back to where it wants, or directly deleting the data in the machine completely, or causing a failure that is unusable by the machine.
The backdoor service program hidden in iOS that Kerry discovered is enough to be shocking. This means that Apple actually masters the hardware and software functions of any Internet ios machine through this service anytime, anywhere.
This clever service program hidden in the connection app application. If Kerry had not completely traversed and analyzed all the functions of iOS, he would not have found that there was such a program, and the triggering of this program was quite skillful.
If Kerry had not had super computing power for brute force cracking, it would take at least many years for ordinary people to crack it using the current mainstream supercomputer. This would be a sure thing to do it with purpose.
This is definitely an explosive discovery. Duke has only now discovered that none of these giants is simple. The rumors of the post-death rumor were indeed groundless in the past few years.
But the system is too huge. It is necessary to analyze these things without source code. Even if Kerry is very awesome, it will take at least a time to analyze this system to be exponentially more than to analyze iOS.
Besides, the plague is not as bloody as Duke, so even though he has discovered this problem with iOS, Duke has no intention of plague to die. This can be done after Duke and his own operating system is created later. Even if Microsoft is very embarrassed, there will not be much substantial benefits.
Duke's analysis results are so unique and explosive. Although it's not ecstatic, he is really excited. My buddy finally caught your tail. Although this backdoor is not fatal to Apple, it is a blow to Apple's reputation on more aspects.
Because of the backdoor of this system, Apple can argue that it is a security loophole, and then they issued an iOS patch to smooth out the backdoor themselves, which is far from the point where they can knock him down.
However, if this thing is operated well, Duke can still gain a lot of benefits from it, such as a new product being launched or a subtle time suddenly thrown out, which makes Apple worse, and this thing can play a huge role in getting a big hit.
Well, Duke closed his eyes and thought about it carefully for a while, and decided to temporarily suppress his impulsive heart and prepare to find someone to plan and use this card as much as possible.
However, Duke is not so polite about some relatively ordinary loopholes. He is planning to slowly release these things through various forums and replace them with different people. Even if the Apple cannot be peeled off, just allowing them to continuously release system patches is also a consumption of opponents' R&D power.
The most important thing is that once this thing forms a bad psychological hint in the minds of consumers, it means that the ios system is an unsafe system. If Apple wants to eliminate this impact, it will be far from being able to solve it with a patch.
What's more, with these preparations, when the time is right, Duke will break out the backdoor service program of iOS in one fell swoop, and consumers' trust in Apple iOS will suddenly be reduced to a low point. Yes, there have been so many things happening before, so my buddy will endure it.
These are all system vulnerabilities and are exploited by hackers, and at least subjectively they can still be trusted.
