Topics Discussed
-
Jaden Furtado told us about some of the security testing he has being doing on power plants.
-
He found a lot of very bad quality code.
-
He also found cases where systems with read-only permissions led to other systems being compromised due to exposed credentials in temporary directories.
-
-
Wilfred Almeida asked about anonymous e-mails and we came to a consensus that it would be very difficult to do that due to all major e-mail providers requiring DMARC, SPF, DKIM and e-mail reputation provisions.
-
Darshan Rander talked about Android disallowing users from accessing app data files through file managers.
-
It feels very restrictive, but has security benefits. The loss of freedom for users who cared is frustrating, because rather than having freedom to change and inspect things, they’re restricted like the iOS system.
-
It makes modifying apps by services like Revanced difficult as well, which is also a likely motivation for Google to go after removing access.
-
Clearing up confusion about how to access
/Android/dataand/Android/obbfolders in Android 13
