Mobile Security News Update December 2015

I've gotten a little lazy with this blog but I promise I will post more often in 2016.

Conferences
    32c3 27-30 December, Hamburg, Germany. Iridium Update: more than just pagers by Schneider and Sec. Running your own 3G/3.5G network: OpenBSC reloaded by LaForge. (Un)Sicherheit von App-basierten TAN-Verfahren im Onlinebanking (in German) by Vincent Haupert.

    ShmooCon January 15 - 17, Washington D.C. Hiding from the Investigator: Understanding OS X and iOS Code Signing to Hide Data by Joshua Pitts. LTE Security and Protocol Exploits by Roger Piqueras Jover.

    BSides NYC January 16, NYC. 99 Problems but a Microkernel ain't one! by Alex Plaskett. Mobile implants in the age of cyber-espionage by Dmitry Bestuzhev.

    Black Hat ASIA March 31 - April 1, Singapore. HEY YOUR PARCEL LOOKS BAD - FUZZING AND EXPLOITING PARCEL-IZATION VULNERABILITIES IN ANDROID by Qidan He.

    NDSS 2016 February 21 - 24, San Diego. Has a good number of Android related papers. Some titles look quite interesting.

As I said before, I'm neither attending 32c3 nor Shmoocon. I'll be attending BSides NYC tho.

Google suspended Android-vts the only up to date Android device vulnerability scanner. No idea if Google would allow it back after fixing the issues. On the other side I rather have a tool that can find a large number vulnerabilities rather than having a crippled version in the Play Store.
