CRACKING ANDROID PATTERNS, PINS AND PASSWORDS

Circumventing & Cracking the Android 3 Ps

If you’ve even begun the journey into mobile device forensics, you’ve already likely encountered the dreaded “lock screen” on a device secured by a pattern, PIN or password. This article provides background on how Android implements the lock screens and techniques for circumventing and cracking them. Like many forensic techniques, this information could be used for nefarious purposes; however, our intentions are to empower practitioners who use forensics for legal purposes.

In the past, many mobile users did not want to lock their device, as it was an inconvenience. Today, a growing number of users are becoming security conscious and have realized that the inconvenience of a locked device pales in comparison to issues resulting from a stolen or lost phone. As such, mobile forensic examiners are increasingly encountering
locked devices. It also stands to reason that sophisticated criminals who use smartphones will almost certainly have a locked device.

Evidence And Objectivity In CSI: CrimeScene Investigation

January 16, 2016

By Anna Reser

A specter hangs over those of us who write about contemporary popular culture and science: that of the ratings behemoth and 15 season network darling, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Because of the immense influence of CSI on crime drama, especially where it makes certain claims about the utility and truthfulness of scientific method and its conspicuous cast of women investigators, the show is ripe for analysis. As the granddaddy of science on television in the US, CSI has left its mark on not only its numerous spin-offs, but also the entire genre of crime drama. The CSI universe is one where objective truths are available to investigators who employ scientific methods to collect physical evidence, which is always valued over personal testimony.The evidence, we are constantly reminded, cannot lie. Predictably, women investigators do a lot less of this science than the men, and women victims suffer both horrifying violence and misrepresentation by the moralizing tone of the show. We should take seriously the possibility that the show’s universe is one that viewers believe to be analogous to the real world, and we can look at how women are treated in this universe as an index of widely-held beliefs about women in science and how science is applied to cases involving violence against women.

49% of UK online users don't delete their old web accounts

49% of UK online users don't delete their old web accounts

Nearly half (49 percent) of the UK public don't delete accounts on the web that they no longer use.

Comparitech.com warns that each time a user opens an account, such as social media, online shopping or email, it greatly increases the “attack surface” that a cyber-criminal can exploit, especially if the same username and passwords are continually used.

For instance, all the users who forgot about their old MySpace accounts that likely haven't been touched in a decade were part of a huge data breach this year. One may not care what hackers could see from the last 10 years or so, but the dangerous part is that many other user accounts on the web have the same exact credentials.

“Each time you create a new account, your ‘attack surface' – as those in the industry call it – increases. You become an easier target. Combine these details with other personal data that you sprinkled around the website, and you become prime pickings for identity fraud,” said Lee Munson, security researcher for Comparitech.com.

Munson came up with five ways that web users can make themselves safer and more secure online:

1. Delete old user accounts – every time an online account is created and personal information is shared, it is one more possible opportunity for cyber-criminals.

2. Don't use the same password for more than one account – Using the same password for multiple accounts is like having one key that opens your car, your house, your safe and your bicycle lock. If someone gets hold of it, you're in big trouble. A password manager can help.

3. Don't login to online accounts via free WiFi – This often presents an easy target for hackers to steal personal data and account login details. Use your mobile network if you must access an account in public.

4. If two factor authentication is available, use it – If someone hacks your account and tries to login from an unfamiliar location, they will usually be prompted to pass additional security, usually by entering a code sent to your phone.

5. Keep your operating system updated – System updates often patch security holes. Hackers know that not everyone runs the latest updates and will exploit vulnerabilities in old operating systems.
