Mobile Pwn0rama the SyScan version of mobile pwn2own. Very cool!

CopperheadOS beta released for Nexus 5, 9, and 5X. I need to buy a new phone to try this out. For those who don't know about CopperheadOS, it is a hardened Android. I was waiting for something like this for a long time. Not as a user more like somebody should really do this. Anyway, looks pretty cool.

Last weekend I published a write-up on CVE-2016-0728 vs Android. The TL;DR is that this vulnerability was totally over hyped for Android. There is no practical impact for the Android platform.
