Dailydave: MITM Attack on Smartphones whitepaper

[Mayank Aggarwal <aggarwam () ece osu edu>]

SMobile has released a detailed report on research indicating that smartphone users are just as susceptible to 
man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks as PC users. This report details the results of attempts to produce MITM attacks to 
determine whether it is possible to intercept SSL encrypted communications between various smartphone devices and 
servers. Of the devices that were tested, each of the major smartphone operating systems appeared to lack the ability 
to natively detect and defend against MITM attacks, allowing the testing team to intercept sensitive information that 
should have been encrypted via SSL.
