SMS to Meterpreter - Fuzzing USB Modems

Explore an innovative attack surface targeting USB data modems in this conference talk from nullcon Goa 2013. Delve into offensively focused research on potential vulnerabilities in USB modems, which could become targets for future attacks. Learn about fuzzing approaches and code execution techniques on computers using SMS payloads. Discover the intricacies of SMS architecture, encoding, and handling, as well as various attack vectors such as social engineering and mass pitching. Gain insights into reverse engineering methods, USB sniffing, and the process of identifying exploitable bugs. Examine case studies, including the "Hawaii" vulnerability, and understand the importance of improving fuzzing approaches for better security. This presentation provides valuable information for security professionals and researchers interested in emerging attack surfaces and mobile device vulnerabilities.
