  • How to jailbreak iphone 5 iOS 7.1 and iOS 7.1.1. cell phones – mobil

    Posted on by admin
    jailbreak ios tools

    Quite Surprisingly, a team of Chinese hackers, Pangu have released an untethered jailbreak for iOS 7.1 and iOS 7.1.1.

    This untethered jailbreak is compatible with iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPad Air, iPad 4, iPad 3, iPad 2, iPad mini, Retina iPad mini and iPod touch 5G running iOS 7.1-iOS 7.1.1.

     

    The jailbreak tool is currently available for Windows but works on every iOS devices. Many iOS users have posted on Reddit that the tool works successfully.

    Jailbreaking is a process of removing limitations on iOS devices, Apple’s operating system, so you can install third party software not certified by Apple. Such devices include the iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, and second-generation Apple TV.

     

    One question rises in my mind that when Apple’s system root protections have been greatly enhanced in an effort to make jailbreaks more difficult, then what’s the whole story behind the unexpectedly release of this jailbreak tool?

     

    STEPS TO JAILBREAK iOS 7.1 & iOS 7.1.1
    The installation process of the isn’t as simple as the previous jailbreak, but you can follow this Reddit thread:

     

     

    1. Make sure you have iTunes installed.
    2. Edit your iPhone’s date to June 2, 2014
    3. Open the PanGu.exe file
    4. Click the black button to the right (also UNCHECK THE CHECKMARK where you see random characters and the “PP”)
    5. As soon as the “brush stroke” loading bar fills to 20%, the PanGu app will appear on your phone
    6. Tap it
    7. Select Continue
    8. It will fill the loading brush stroke until 80% and your iTunes will open (it will only open IF you have iTunesHelper.exe on your Windows Taskbar)
    9. Close iTunes
    10. Your device will reboot
    11. When it opens again, wait for the brush stroke to complete to 100%
    12. Your device will reboot once more
    13. The process will be finished 100%
    14. The PanGu app will be replaced with Cydia
    15. Do your usual stuff by opening Cydia and continue with what you want to install by then.
    16. For precautionary measures, install Complete PPSync Remover (on https://cydia.angelxwind.net repo) because even though you uncheck the “PP” on step 4, it installs it anyway (internally without the app showing)

     

    COMPATIBLE DEVICES

    This Untethered Jailbreak is compatible with following devices running iOS 7.1-iOS 7.1.1:

    • iPhone 5s
    • iPhone 5c
    • iPhone 4S
    • iPhone 4
    • iPad Air
    • iPad 4
    • iPad 3
    • iPad 2
    • iPad mini
    • Retina iPad mini
    • iPod touch 5G
    CONTROVERSY OF STOLEN JAILBREAK EXPLOIT
    It’s worth noting that the jailbreak is available from a new team and the said hack is the first from the team. The controversy behind the sudden release of the jailbreak apparently came from one of the exploits used by a security expert and known jailbreaker Stefan Esser, aka i0n1c, who show off the method to jailbreak the iOS 7.1.1 using iPhone 5C during his training session.

     

    IOS jailbreak tool

     

    The people behind it reportedly took this training session given by Esser and allegedly exposed his exploit in the market. Esser expressed his disappointment over the adoption of his exploit via his twitter account, and later Esser even called the Pangu team members “thieves” and wished “everyone of my followers who installed Pangu much fun with malware from China.”

    The jailbreak tool (download here) apparently installs the most popular third-party app installer Cydia, but also throws in a Chinese store with apps unsanctioned by Apple.

    However, world-renowned software developer and a very well-known iOS hacker, H8sn0w has confirmed via Twitter that the jailbreak tool does not contain any spyware or malicious software in it and is safe to use.

  • TowelRoot – 1-Click Android Rooting tool released by Geohot

    Posted on by admin

    one click android rooting software app

     

    Waiting for the root access for your AT&T or Verizon Android phone? Then there is really a Great News for you!

    Geohot (aka George Hotz) – a famed cracker who was responsible for hacking the PlayStation 3 and subsequently being sued by Sony – has built and released a root tool called Towelroot on Sunday night that will let most Android smartphones users to root their Android device with one click only, as long as it has an unpatched version of the Linux kernel.
    EXPLOITS LINUX KERNEL VULNERABILITY 

    Towelroot application exploits the same vulnerability (CVE-2014-3153) which was recently disclosed by the hacker Pinkie Pie in the Linux kernel version 3.14.5 and most versions of other Android devices, which could be leveraged by hackers to potentially acquire root access on affected devices.

     

    Having root access of your device simply means you make System-level changes to your device such as accessing and modifying any file or program using any mode (single- or multi-user). It is just like operating an administrator account on a computer.
    SUPPORTED DEVICES

    Towelroot supports handful of devices so far including some particularly tough phones. here’s the list:

    • AT&T Galaxy S5
    • Verizon Galaxy S5
    • Galaxy S4 Active
    • Nexus 5
    • AT&T Galaxy Note 3
    • Verizon Galaxy Note 3
    • Also some users have even reported its success with the all time favorite company of GeoHot, Sony Xperia SP C5303.

    Geohot became famous for being the first person to carrier unlock the original iPhone in 2007 and later for creating the limera1n jailbreak tool for future versions of the iPhone. He gained fame after subsequently hacking the software of the PlayStation 3 console, thereby opening up the ability to add homebrew and play pirated games, for which he was taken to court by Sony.
    HOW TO ROOT ANDROID DEVICE

    Step 1: Download Android Rooting application from towelroot.com and install it.

    Step 2: While Installation you might receive warning message saying that Towelroot “contains code that attempts to bypass Android’s security“. Just hit Install anyway after selecting the checkbox: “I understand and still want to install it“.

    Step 3: Once the Towelroot installation completes, launch the application and click the button reading “make it ra1n” and it will force your device to reboot.

    Step 4: After the device reboots to home screen your phone will be rooted with its bootloader unlocked. Cheers!

    Along with the Android users who were itching to get Android rooting technique for their devices and doing tons of things such as customizations, patching apps and installing third-party ROMs, the new tool will also allow cybercriminals as well to gain administrative access to a victim’s phone.

     

    Specifically, at the same time the cyber criminal with the administrative access could potentially run malicious code, retrieve files, bypass third-party or security applications including containers like Samsung’s secure Knox sub-operating system, and place backdoors for future access on users’ devices.

  • First Android Phone Ransomware that Encrypts your SD card Files

    Posted on by admin
    We have seen cybercriminals targeting PCs with Ransomware malware that encrypts your files or lock down your computer and ask for a ransom amount to be paid in a specified duration of time to unlock it.
    To deliver the Ransomware malwares to the mobile devices, cyber criminals have already started creating malicious software programs for android devices. Last month, we reported about a new Police Ransomware malware that locks up the devices until the victims pay a ransom to get the keys to unlock the phone. But, the malware just lock the mobile screen and a loophole in the its implementation allowed users to recover their device and data stored on SDcard.

    Now, in an effort to overcome this, threat actors have adopted encryption in the development of mobile Ransomware malwares. Recently, the security firm ESET has discovered a new Android ransomware, dubbed as Android/Simplocker.A, that has ability to encrypt the files on the device SD card and then demand a ransom from the victim in order to decrypt those files.

    Once installed, the malware scans the SD card for certain file types such as image, document or video with extensions – jpeg, jpg, png, bmp, gif, pdf, doc, docx, txt, avi, mkv, 3gp, mp4 and encrypts them using AES in a separate thread in the background. After encrypting the files, the malware displays the following ransom message, written in Russian, which clearly means that this threat is targeting Russian Android users.

    “WARNING your phone is locked!
    The device is locked for viewing and distributing child pornography , zoophilia and other perversions.
    To unlock you need to pay 260 UAH.
    1.) Locate the nearest payment kiosk.
    2.) Select MoneXy
    3.) Enter {REDACTED}.
    4.) Make deposit of 260 Hryvnia, and then press pay. Do not forget to take a receipt!
    After payment your device will be unlocked within 24 hours. In case of no PAYMENT YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA ON your device!”

    The Ransomware malware directs victim to pay the ransom amount i.e. 260 UAH, which is roughly equal to $21 US, through the MoneXy service, as this payment service is not easily traceable as the regular credit card.

    mobile virus

    To maintain anonymity the malware author is using the Command-and-Control server hosted on TOR .onion domain and the malware sends the information of the infected device such as IMEI number to its server. The researchers at ESET are still analysing the malware:

    “Our analysis of the Android/Simplock.A sample revealed that we are most likely dealing with a proof-of-concept or a work in progress – for example, the implementation of the encryption doesn’t come close to “the infamous Cryptolocker” on Windows.”

    The researchers have found that the malware is capable to encrypt the victim’s files, which could be lost if the decryption key is not retrieved from the malware author by paying the ransom amount, but on the other hand the researchers strongly advise users against paying fine, as their is no guarantee that the hacker will provide you decryption keys even after paying the amount.
    Unfortunately, mobile antivirus products are only capable to detect such known/detected threats only and can’t detect similar the new threats. So, it is important for you to always keep the back-up of all your files either manually on the computer system or use cloud backup services like dropbox, google drive etc, in order to protect it from the emerging threats.

  • FBI Bust Computer Hackers Spying and Stealing your information while online

    Posted on by admin

    Computer hacker forums lit up last week as Federal Bureau of Investigation agents and police in 17 countries began knocking on doors, seizing computers and making arrests.

    On the popular websites where cyber criminals buy and sell software kits and help each other solve problems, hackers issued warnings about police visits to their homes.

    The hackers quickly guessed that a major crackdown was underway on users of the malicious software known as Blackshades.

    The FBI and prosecutors in the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office announced the results of that probe on Monday: More than 90 arrests worldwide.

    The malware sells for as little as $40. It can be used to hijack computers remotely and turn on computer webcams, access hard drives and capture keystrokes to steal passwords — without victims ever knowing it.

    Related: Beware, your computer may be watching you

    Criminals have used Blackshades to commit everything from extortion to bank fraud, the FBI said.

    Last week, watching it all play out were about two dozen FBI cybercrime investigators holed up in the New York FBI’s special operations center, high above lower Manhattan.

    Rows of computer screens flickered with updates from police in Germany, Denmark, Canada, the Netherlands and elsewhere. Investigators followed along in real time as hundreds of search warrants were executed and suspects were interviewed.

    The sweep, capping a two-year operation, is one of the largest global cybercrime crackdowns ever. It was coordinated so suspects didn’t have time to destroy evidence. Among those arrested, in Moldova, was a Swedish hacker who was a co-creator of Blackshades.

    “The charges unsealed today should put cyber criminals around the world on notice,” said Leo Taddeo, chief of the FBI’s cybercrime investigations in New York. “If you think you can hide behind your computer screen — think again. ”

    hackersOfficials say Blackshades was used to illegally access the computers of 700,000 victims around the world, as shown in this FBI heatmap.

    700,000 victims around the world: Inside the FBI special operations center, six large computer monitors displayed key parts of the probe. Agents kept an eye on one screen showing a popular website where Blackshades was sold. The site was taken down by the FBI.

    Another monitor showed a heatmap of the world displaying the locations of the 700,000 estimated victims, whose computers have been hijacked by criminals using the Blackshades software. Splotches of green on the map indicated concentrations of infected computers in highly populated parts of the U.S., Europe, Asia and Australia.

    The FBI said that in just a few years Blackshades has become one of the world’s most popular remote-administration tools, or RATs, used for cybercrime.

    Taddeo said the unprecedented coordination with so many police agencies came about because of concern about the fast growth of cybercrime businesses.

    “These cyber criminals have paid employees, they have feedback from customers — other cyber criminals — to continually update and improve their product,” Taddeo said recently. While he spoke, agents took calls from counterparts working the case in more than 40 U.S. cities.

    Blackshades had grown rapidly because it was marketed as off-the-shelf, easy to use software, much like legitimate consumer tax-preparation software.

    “It’s very sophisticated software in that it is not very easy to detect,” Taddeo said. “It can be installed by somebody with very little skills.”

  • 4chan Hacked, Attacker Mainly Targeted Moderator Accounts

    Posted on by admin
    Complete Computer Repair Latest News and Virus Threats Fort Lauderdale
    Complete Computer Repair News

     

    A few hours ago, Christopher Poole, aka “moot,” the founder of 4chan, revealed that the popular image-based bulletin board was hacked.

    The attack took place last week. The hacker leveraged a software vulnerability to gain access to administrative functions and data from a 4chan database. The attacker apparently wanted to expose the posting habits of a specific user he didn’t like.

    “After careful review, we believe the intrusion was limited to imageboard moderation panels, our reports queue, and some tables in our backend database,” moot noted.

    “Due to the way the intruder extracted information from the database, we have detailed logs of what was accessed. The logs indicate that primarily moderator account names and credentials were targeted.”

    The hacker accessed the Pass credentials of three 4chan Pass users. The impacted individuals have been notified and offered refunds and lifetime Passes.

    moot highlights the fact that 4chan doesn’t process any payment information, so the attacker couldn’t have gained access to financial data. Payment information is processed by Stripe.

    As far as the vulnerability leveraged by the hacker is concerned, it has been patched shortly after 4chan became aware of it. Software and systems are being reviewed to prevent future breaches.

    In a 4chan post published last week (removed since), a user revealed that the attacker was an Australian individual who wanted to expose “multiple abuses of power and violations of proper mod stewardship.” The attacker allegedly gained access to the details of over 12,000 sold Passes. He’s said to have had access to 4chan’s systems for a week.

    This isn’t the first time 4chan is targeted by hackers. Back in June 2012, hackers of UGNazi redirected the site’s visitors to their Twitter account.

  • New Zero Day Vulnerability Found In Internet Explorer All versions

    Posted on by admin


    A new zero-day vulnerability that resides in all versions of Internet Explorer has been spotted in the wild, Microsoft confirmed late Saturday.

    The vulnerability, which could allow remote code execution, is being used in “limited, targeted attacks,” according to an advisory issued by Microsoft. While all versions of the web browser, IE 6 through 11, are affected by the vulnerability, attacks are currently targeting IE versions 9, 10 and 11, according to security firm FireEye, which first reported the flaw Friday.

    The attack leverages a previously unknown “use after free” vulnerability — data corruption that occurs after memory has been released — and bypasses both Windows DEP (data execution prevention) and ASLR (address space layout randomization) protections, according to FireEye.

    The vulnerability is currently being exploited by a group of hackers targeting financial and defense organization in the US, FireEye told CNET.

    “The APT [advanced persistent threat] group responsible for this exploit has been the first group to have access to a select number of browser-based 0-day exploits (e.g. IE, Firefox, and Flash) in the past,” FireEye said. “They are extremely proficient at lateral movement and are difficult to track, as they typically do not reuse command and control infrastructure.”

    FireEye said the flaw was significant because it affects more than a quarter of the total browser market.

    “Collectively, in 2013, the vulnerable versions of IE accounted for 26.25% of the browser market,” FireEye said in its advisory.

    An attack could be triggered by luring visitors to a specially crafted web page, Microsoft explained.

    “The vulnerability exists in the way that Internet Explorer accesses an object in memory that has been deleted or has not been properly allocated,” Microsoft said. “The vulnerability may corrupt memory in a way that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user within Internet Explorer.”

    Microsoft said it is investigating the vulnerability and may issue an out-of-cycle security update to address the issue.

  • Samsung Galaxy S5 Fingerprint Scanner Easy Hack

    Posted on by admin

    Samsung Galaxy S5 Fingerprint Scanner Hacked

    Samsung Galaxy S5 Fingerprint feature promises an extra layer of security for your smartphone, which also lets you make payments through PayPal. But does it really secure?

    Just three days after the launch of the Galaxy S5, Security researchers have successfully managed to hack Galaxy S5 Fingerprint sensor using a similar method that was used to spoof the Touch ID sensor on the iPhone 5S last year.

    FOOLING FINGERPRINT SENSOR
    SRLabs researchers recently uploaded a YouTube video, demonstrated how they were able to bypass the fingerprint authentication mechanism to gain unauthorized access just by using a lifted fingerprint with wood-glue based dummy finger.

    The S5 fingerprint scanner allows multiple incorrect attempts without requiring a password, so an attacker could potentially keep trying multiple spoofed fingerprints until the correct match.

    PAYPAL USERS AT RISK
    Samsung Galaxy S5 users can also transfer money to other PayPal users just by swiping their finger on the sensor, but this hack now allows hackers to access your PayPal account and linked bank accounts without ever having to enter a password.

    In addition, If you restart your Apple’s iPhone 5S, it requires you to enter a passcode, before you can use your fingerprint as a way to unlock the phone, but Samsung has no such security method in place at this time.

    No doubt, one need to have physical access of your device in order to exploit this flaw, so if your phone is stolen, a thief can access anything on your device.

    Hack once again showed that unlocking a device with Fingerprint is convenient, but not secure that the passcode security.
