Shmoocon2011_SmartphoneBotnets_GeorgiaW
/* This is a proof of concept example of an Android slave bot in an SMS controlled botnet. Proof of concept functionality has been removed for safety. Feel free to add your own for research purposes. This released version contains a local open port as introduced by previous work. This is helpful for research and testing, but may be removed if desired.I present a system for command and control for smartphone based botnets using SMS.The bot application sits below the smartphone application layer in the base operating
system and is thus transparent to smartphone users. Additionally I present a botnet
structure for smartphones that maximizes robustness and security.
The concept for proxying the modem and RIL was introduced by Collin Mulliner and Charlie Miller at Blackhat USA 2009. The proof of concept code released under GPL by Collin Mulliner was used as a basis for the proxy functionality of the botnet.
