Whipped Cream Difficulties

Some more stuff I’ve stumbled across from Black Hat:

• “All Your Apple are Belong to Us: Unique Identification and Cross-Device Tracking of Apple Devices” by SparkZheng and XiaolongBai. Slides here.
• I didn’t flag these as ones I was interested in, but XiaolongBai retweeted links: “Towards Discovering Remote Code Execution Vulnerabilities in Apple FaceTime” by Tao Huang and Tielei Wang, “Attacking iPhone XS Max” by Tielei Wang and Hao Xu, and “Debug for bug: Crack and Hack Apple Core by itself” by Lilang Wu and Moony Li.
• “Inside the Apple T2” by Mikhail Davidov and Jeremy Erickson. Slides here.
• And now, your break from things Apple: “Infighting Among Russian Security Services in the Cyber Sphere” by Kimberly Zenz. Slides here. I’m excited about this one, and I have a feeling it might pique Lawrence‘s interest, too.
• Blackhat version of a DEFCON presentation: “All the 4G Modules Could be Hacked” by Shupeng Gao, Haikuo Xie, Zheng Huang, and Zhang Ye. Slides here.
• This has gotten some public attention, so I’m linking it here without comment: “Arm IDA and Cross Check: Reversing the Boeing 787’s Core Network” by Ruben Santamarta. Slides here. White paper here.

I expect to be somewhere between slightly and highly busy this weekend, so updates will be catch as catch can. It might be Monday before I can pull more stuff together, but I’ll try as best as I can to get updates before then.
