¿Podrán los Hackers con el BlackBerry 9700?

Dentro de aproximádamente un mes se llevará a cabo la competencia Pwn2Own. Un concurso anual que se celebra en el CanSecWest Security Conference done hackers intentan romper, tanto browsers de desktops como también de equipos móviles. Esto estará ocurriendo en la ciudad de Vancouver en Marzo 24.

El año pasado, los Hackers no pudieron entrar en ningún device Móvil. Este año intentarán nuevamente por un premio de $15,000 dólares para aquel que pueda romper la seguridad de un BlackBerry 9700, iPhone 3GS, otro equipo Symbian y un Android.

Incluso, si logras romper la seguridad, te regalan el equipo.

Aqui los detalles del concurso:

Target: Mobile Phones

$60,000 of the total $100,000 cash prize pool is allotted to the mobile phone portion of the contest, each target is worth $15,000. A successful hack on these targets must result in code execution with little to no user-interaction. Expect updates on the rules as the contest approaches. The current target list is as follows:

  • Apple iPhone 3GS
  • RIM Blackberry Bold 9700
  • A Nokia device running Symbian S60 (likely the E62)
  • A Motorola phone running Android (likely the Droid)

In addition to the mobile device and $15,000 USD cash prize, successful competitors will receive 20,000 ZDIbonus points which immediately qualifies them for Silver standing. Benefits of ZDI Silver standing include a one-time $5,000 USD cash payment, 15% monetary bonus on all ZDI submissions in 2011, 25% reward point bonus on all ZDI submissions in 2011 and paid travel and registration to attend the DEFCON Conference in Las Vegas.
Any non remote code execution entries accepted by the judges reduces the point giveaway to 9,999 ZDI
bonus points which puts the competitor just one ZDI submission away from Bronze standing for the year.
