Per quelli di voi che pensano ogni applicazione per iPhone deve be approved by Apple's App Store guardians… ripensare.

Here's an application called SpoofCard:

SpoofCard

SpoofCard consente agli utenti di smartphone per falsificare l'ID del chiamante. Questo non è esattamente nuova. C'è stato un po 'di rassegna stampa un anno fa.

But what's now interesting to us is the varietà di piattaforme supportate: Android, BlackBerry, Palm, Windows Mobile e… iPhone.

Solo, you won't find SpoofCard anywhere on Apple's website.

It's a Web App. Tutto quello che dovete fare per "installare" è da visitare ispoofcard.com with your iPhone's Safari browser.

ispoofcard.com

SpoofCard's site will prompt you to save an icon to your iPhone's desktop.

A tal punto, per la maggior parte, sembra essere solo un'altra applicazione installata.

SpoofCard Web App

Il iSpoofCard Web App chiama un servizio che poi offrono la spoofing reale, e l'App fa prompt for the user's permission before it calls. It's well behaved in that sense.

But we're curious, potrebbe essere utilizzato tecniche di social engineering per ingannare le persone a dare autorizzazioni a un apertamente dannosi Web App? Possono accedere al Web Apps iPhone contatti se autorizzati? Web Apps possono inviare messaggi SMS? Web Apps possono effettuare chiamate telefoniche… la quantità di social engineering pensi sia necessario per ottenere qualcuno per effettuare una chiamata a tariffa maggiorata?

Ma poi… Web Apps aren't anywhere as popular as App Store applications. Anche se il Web Apps possono essere oggetto di abusi, they aren't likely to be, because iPhone users don't really use them.

E così si suppone, alla fine,, this is yet another case of Apple's standard security through obscurity.

Why You should remove spyware, malware and viruses from your PC?

Trojan horses are designed to allow a hacker remote access to a target computer system. Once a Trojan horse has been installed on a target computer system, it is possible for a hacker to access it remotely and perform various operations. The operations that a hacker can perform are limited by user privileges on the target computer system and the design of the Trojan horse.

Antivirus software is designed to detect and delete Trojan horses, as well as preventing them from ever being installed. Although it is possible to remove a Trojan horse manually, it requires a full understanding of how that particular Trojan horse operates. In addition, if a Trojan horse has possibly been used by a hacker to access a computer system, it will be difficult to know what damage has been done and what other problems have been introduced. In situations where the security of the computer system is critical, it is advisable to simply erase all data from the hard disk and reinstall the operating system and required software.
