Meet the MASTERS of wireless reverse engineering! @kalilinux NetHunter Episode 2 is out now! It was a pleasure to have the @nexmon_dev team on 📱⌚📡 @offsectraining youtu.be/6FNd77iu2W0

The remaining @acm_wisec tutorials are online: open-sourcing research projects by Milan (@seemoolab), firmware reverse engineering with Ghidra by @ghidraninja, firmware rehosting with avatar2 by @nSinusR and details on a 5G testbed by @gvinevere (@5g_lab & @ComNets_TUD).
A new tutorial format at @acm_wisec features practical tools for wireless research. 👩‍💻📱📶 SDR intro by @bastibl, baseband fuzzing by @domenuk, iOS in-process fuzzing by @ttdennis & Bluetooth firmware mods by me. Ping me if you want to join as speaker. sites.nyuad.nyu.edu/wisec21/…
The paper is online – reverse engineered details on WiFi password sharing and Handoff on Apple devices. usenix.org/system/files/sec2…
Our paper “Disrupting Continuity of Apple’s Wireless Ecosystem Security” has been accepted by Usenix Security 21. It details in reverse-engineering private protocols on Apple‘s Hard- & Software and it includes two reversed protocols: Handoff and WiFi Password Sharing. #usesec21
Very nice that you finally found the shared memory regions between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip. As nexmon just patches the Wi-Fi firmware before loading it, we could try to load a patched Wi-Fi firmware using the Bluetooth chip and then reset the Wi-Fi chip to start it.
Code execution on a Broadcom Bluetooth chip leads to code execution within Wi-Fi. This has a couple of interesting implications for utilizing Wi-Fi without @nexmon_dev 📱, Wi-Fi debugging 🐛, and exploitation 💥 More details on CVE-2020-10367 (unpatched): naehrdine.blogspot.com/2021/…

Happy Easter! Today I published our monitor mode and frame injection patches for the BCM4375 Wi-Fi chips installed in Samsung Galaxy S10 and S20 smartphones. I am still looking for access to a Galaxy S21 to analyze its firmware. nexmon.org #nexmon

Who has a Galaxy S21 and could give me access to the BCM4389 WiFi 6e firmware files? And maybe remotely to the device to dump the chip's ROM?

It's online! Bluetooth RCE == Wi-Fi RCE. Say hello to Spectra, the concept of breaking wireless chip separation as they share the same spectrum. #BlackHat blackhat.com/us-20/briefings…

Since people were asking how it works internally, here is Jan's final presentation, which covers the most important aspects why ARM Thumb2 disassembly was problematic and how the binary-only approach works. (9/8) github.com/seemoo-lab/polypy…

Jan just released Frankenstein, the Broadcom/Cypress Bluetooth firmware emulator that enables fuzzing and further kinds of debugging. It works within a fully-functional Linux BlueZ stack and features virtual modem input. (1/2) github.com/seemoo-lab/franke…

Jiska finally defended her PhD today. If you are into Bluetooth Firmware hacking, read her thesis ;-)
My PhD hat has Bluetooth. The implementation is trustworthy because Milan, our AirDrop hacker, built it 😍 #phdjiska

While you are all about hacking and breaking things, we built some cool wireless stuff with InternalBlue and @nexmon_dev, which we will present at #EWSN2020, February 17-19, Lyon, France. Happy to meet and chat if you are around, either at the conference or in Lyon.
