1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,780
Welcome to Section 11 and this section, we're going to go over mobile phone security, this is essentially

2
00:00:06,780 --> 00:00:12,780
a section here that is going to give you an overview of how you can protect your phone, how you can

3
00:00:12,780 --> 00:00:14,550
go about hacking different phones.

4
00:00:14,550 --> 00:00:14,900
Right.

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:20,790
Because remember, we always want to look at things from the hackers perspective, from the black hackers

6
00:00:20,790 --> 00:00:27,810
perspective, and then also understanding how they would go about attacking a phone so we can also keep

7
00:00:27,810 --> 00:00:34,560
our own phones safe and secure as well, as well as some different tools and techniques to ultimately

8
00:00:34,650 --> 00:00:36,990
keep your phone as safe as possible.

9
00:00:37,020 --> 00:00:38,280
So let's go ahead and jump in here.

10
00:00:38,580 --> 00:00:45,510
Section 11, we're going to be going over mobile phone networks and operating systems and then mobile

11
00:00:45,510 --> 00:00:46,590
attack vectors.

12
00:00:46,710 --> 00:00:51,980
What exactly those are and how those come into play and then mobile malware.

13
00:00:52,410 --> 00:00:57,720
This is very important here because these can take over your cell phones and actually cause quite a

14
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:04,140
bit of damage and then mobile hacking using you URLs and then the mobile platform vulnerabilities and

15
00:01:04,140 --> 00:01:11,880
countermeasures and then jailbreaking and routine considerations, privacy issues due to geolocation

16
00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:15,080
and then finally mobile phone data security.

17
00:01:15,090 --> 00:01:17,350
So there's a lot to be covered here.

18
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:22,380
I'm going to give you a quick overview of this section, and then Anthony's going to be walking you

19
00:01:22,380 --> 00:01:25,760
through a lot more in-depth in the individual lecture.

20
00:01:25,770 --> 00:01:30,210
So let's go ahead and look at the mobile phone network, especially in today's day and age.

21
00:01:30,210 --> 00:01:32,230
Everybody has a cell phone, right?

22
00:01:32,460 --> 00:01:39,300
You have kids, you have teenagers, you know, in elementary school that are getting cell phones and

23
00:01:39,300 --> 00:01:45,600
are on cell phones pretty much every single day, especially now with adults, with individuals.

24
00:01:45,810 --> 00:01:51,240
I mean, our attention spans are so, so low because we're on our phones.

25
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:51,570
Right.

26
00:01:51,570 --> 00:01:53,010
Pretty much 24/7.

27
00:01:53,370 --> 00:02:00,420
And the big thing here is to understand that having our cell phones is very important to the average

28
00:02:00,420 --> 00:02:04,650
person in the majority of phones are connected to a 4G network.

29
00:02:04,660 --> 00:02:10,680
So whatever service provider you have, you know, whether whether it be Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile,

30
00:02:10,860 --> 00:02:15,810
you know, whatever that may be, you're typically going to be on a 4G network in the way that you're

31
00:02:15,810 --> 00:02:21,900
connected to a wireless phone network is the device, which is typically known as a terminal, uses

32
00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:24,860
radio frequencies to communicate with the base station.

33
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:32,580
So when you're near a particular tower, you are essentially emitting radio frequency waves from the

34
00:02:32,580 --> 00:02:35,900
phone in order to be able to communicate with those stations.

35
00:02:35,910 --> 00:02:41,850
And so depending on your location, whatever tower or base station that you're next to, you're going

36
00:02:41,850 --> 00:02:47,220
to be meeting those radio frequency waves and they're going to be bouncing off of that base station

37
00:02:47,490 --> 00:02:53,160
and then being able to be connected to that 4G network so you can actually use your phone and also the

38
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:53,630
Internet.

39
00:02:54,090 --> 00:02:59,820
And so as we go deeper into the mobile phone networks, understanding how to hack into mobile phones,

40
00:02:59,970 --> 00:03:06,180
it's really important for you to get this foundational understanding of how mobile phone networks work.

41
00:03:06,420 --> 00:03:11,820
You know, the foundational elements here and essentially what the 4G network is really about.

42
00:03:12,180 --> 00:03:15,030
So now let's look at mobile phone operating systems.

43
00:03:15,030 --> 00:03:19,110
Now, there are two main operating systems for mobile devices.

44
00:03:19,350 --> 00:03:22,070
There's no one, the Android from Google.

45
00:03:22,110 --> 00:03:28,080
This is where you have your Samsung phone, Motorola phone, Google phone.

46
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:28,350
Right.

47
00:03:28,370 --> 00:03:32,190
Those are going to be the ones that you're using the Android on.

48
00:03:32,190 --> 00:03:32,570
Right.

49
00:03:32,580 --> 00:03:39,120
And this is where you can essentially use your phone to play games, to call people to text and whatever

50
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,590
other applications you have there.

51
00:03:40,590 --> 00:03:46,290
Now, iOS from Apple, this is going to be their specific operating system as well.

52
00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:52,710
And this operating system is typically used through the different iPhone, iPad and iPod as well.

53
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,110
Same thing with Google for the most part.

54
00:03:55,590 --> 00:04:00,590
When you have Android, they're going to be typically running on the tablets as well.

55
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:07,260
And one of the key pieces of information here that I want you to understand is that Apple has been known

56
00:04:07,260 --> 00:04:10,920
previously for being the leader in mobile security.

57
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:11,220
Right.

58
00:04:11,340 --> 00:04:17,310
A lot of people say, hey, you know, iOS, Apple phones, Apple technology, very difficult to break

59
00:04:17,310 --> 00:04:17,640
into.

60
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,470
And that has been the case for quite some time.

61
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:27,010
However, according to a recent article by Senate, Android is actually gaining ground.

62
00:04:27,030 --> 00:04:29,850
So there's a lot more technology that's becoming available.

63
00:04:29,850 --> 00:04:33,930
Android is stepping up as hackers are getting more sophisticated.

64
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,270
So is Android as well.

65
00:04:36,450 --> 00:04:39,800
OK, so let's talk about social engineering with mobile phones.

66
00:04:40,110 --> 00:04:42,540
So now I want to give you an example of this.

67
00:04:42,660 --> 00:04:48,930
Let's suppose that you receive a text message, right, from an unknown number, and that number is

68
00:04:48,930 --> 00:04:51,510
telling you that you've won some sort of prize.

69
00:04:51,660 --> 00:04:59,220
And in order for you to get that prize, all you need to do is reply back with your name, email account

70
00:04:59,220 --> 00:04:59,940
and any other.

71
00:04:59,980 --> 00:05:05,620
A personal information, maybe your cell phone number or perhaps your last four of your social rank.

72
00:05:06,130 --> 00:05:13,870
This is where a lot of people get taken advantage of here because they are just trusting out of nowhere

73
00:05:13,870 --> 00:05:18,740
blindly this message that they're receiving from some unknown source.

74
00:05:18,810 --> 00:05:19,080
Right.

75
00:05:19,510 --> 00:05:27,250
And so this is where you need to be very, very wary of here as far as text messages coming from unsolicited

76
00:05:27,490 --> 00:05:29,580
or just numbers out of the blue.

77
00:05:29,590 --> 00:05:29,940
Right.

78
00:05:30,250 --> 00:05:35,440
So very important to be aware of that, because this is where people get oftentimes taken advantage

79
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:35,680
of.

80
00:05:35,980 --> 00:05:39,060
And I've received these kind of messages in the past as well.

81
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:46,660
And typically I just delete them or I reply back with staff or just pretty much don't do anything about

82
00:05:46,660 --> 00:05:46,750
it.

83
00:05:46,750 --> 00:05:52,390
Because what's going to happen is if you click on the link or if you reply back with any information,

84
00:05:52,630 --> 00:05:58,150
they're going to be able to get access to maybe your cell phone or just your information alone.

85
00:05:58,150 --> 00:06:03,790
If you respond back with your name, email or phone number, whatever, they're going to be able to

86
00:06:03,790 --> 00:06:07,690
have access to that and be able to use that to their advantage.

87
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,700
And so what I want to show you now is I want to show you this text message down here that I got the

88
00:06:12,700 --> 00:06:13,270
other day.

89
00:06:13,570 --> 00:06:19,510
And as you can see here, this is a text message from some sort of secret shopper program or whatever,

90
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:21,450
and it was out of the blue.

91
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,180
I never signed up for any kind of program or whatever like that.

92
00:06:25,180 --> 00:06:30,640
As far as inputting my information to learn more about this, it pretty much sent me a message.

93
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,350
I don't know what we're talking about.

94
00:06:32,350 --> 00:06:33,850
I can earn some extra money.

95
00:06:34,060 --> 00:06:34,340
Right?

96
00:06:34,390 --> 00:06:35,650
Six hundred dollars a week.

97
00:06:35,650 --> 00:06:39,120
And that it wouldn't affect my job or wouldn't affect me, whatever.

98
00:06:39,130 --> 00:06:39,400
Right.

99
00:06:39,910 --> 00:06:45,190
And so you think about it, both of these links here, if you click on them, could give you some sort

100
00:06:45,190 --> 00:06:48,160
of Trojan, could give you some sort of virus malware.

101
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:48,510
Right.

102
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,990
And also could lead you to go to a website where they could steal your information.

103
00:06:53,020 --> 00:06:56,140
So this is where you want to be very, very careful.

104
00:06:56,170 --> 00:07:02,680
There are thousands of people that unfortunately get taken advantage of because they're blindly trusting

105
00:07:02,980 --> 00:07:07,720
people that are just sending them messages or text messages or whatever that may be.

106
00:07:07,990 --> 00:07:10,120
And they're not doing their proper research.

107
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:10,420
Right.

108
00:07:10,750 --> 00:07:16,180
So very important that when you're receiving these types of messages that you do your homework, you

109
00:07:16,180 --> 00:07:22,150
research the company, whoever's sending you a message because you're going to get taken advantage of

110
00:07:22,150 --> 00:07:23,150
if you do not now.

111
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:24,940
And let me give you another example.

112
00:07:24,950 --> 00:07:31,240
So one of the other types of messages that I received in the past is where the individual, the hacker,

113
00:07:31,450 --> 00:07:34,870
may have access to somebody's stolen credit card information.

114
00:07:34,870 --> 00:07:38,000
So just out of the blue, they're sending me this message.

115
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,560
You're telling me, hey, I will pay you for you to build me a website.

116
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,570
And do you accept credit card?

117
00:07:43,570 --> 00:07:43,910
Right.

118
00:07:43,930 --> 00:07:46,780
And it's just some number out of nowhere, out of the blue.

119
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,400
And so those are the kinds of messages and things you want to be on the lookout for.

120
00:07:51,550 --> 00:07:56,390
Essentially, if it sounds too good to be true, it often is too good to be true.

121
00:07:56,410 --> 00:07:58,330
So make sure to keep that in mind.

122
00:07:58,490 --> 00:08:02,500
Let's go over some of the most common phone hacking methods, phishing.

123
00:08:02,500 --> 00:08:08,900
So this is where you're lowering your target with fake versions of legitimate sites to extract credentials.

124
00:08:08,910 --> 00:08:12,230
So think about the last text message that we just looked at.

125
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,430
They have very specific links on there.

126
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:21,820
They have your URL Shawna's and that link or those links could actually lead to a website, a fake version

127
00:08:21,820 --> 00:08:25,450
of a legitimate site, and it can actually extract your information.

128
00:08:25,460 --> 00:08:32,080
So very, very important to be very careful to do your research and not just blindly click on the links

129
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,390
or messages that are received.

130
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,750
And then we have control message attacks.

131
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:40,020
This involves sending a control message on the device that you want to hack.

132
00:08:40,450 --> 00:08:44,180
This allows you to get access to the settings menu of the targeted cell phone.

133
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:50,800
So this is like if you were to receive a message saying, hey, this is Verizon or this is T-Mobile,

134
00:08:51,020 --> 00:08:55,680
you need to update your phone and you need to get it to the newest version.

135
00:08:55,690 --> 00:09:01,000
And then what ends up happening is you click the button or whatever or click the link and your phone

136
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:01,770
gets updated.

137
00:09:01,780 --> 00:09:08,260
But what happens is you get malicious type of information, maybe some sort of malware or a virus on

138
00:09:08,260 --> 00:09:08,830
your phone.

139
00:09:08,860 --> 00:09:11,920
OK, so very important to look out for these as well.

140
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,480
And then probably the most common one here is the spam messages.

141
00:09:16,510 --> 00:09:20,810
So this is where hackers are getting access to a victim's Google account.

142
00:09:20,830 --> 00:09:27,430
Now, Google accounts are very, very important here because oftentimes people will have like a Gmail

143
00:09:27,430 --> 00:09:32,980
account, right, that they sign up with, do all their online shopping, maybe Amazon, maybe they

144
00:09:32,980 --> 00:09:37,590
have it connected to their bank account, to their social media accounts.

145
00:09:37,900 --> 00:09:43,810
And oftentimes when you are able to get access to these, you don't need a security code if you have

146
00:09:43,810 --> 00:09:46,100
the password to the Google account.

147
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:52,810
So very important to make sure that any messages that are coming out of the blue out of nowhere, that

148
00:09:52,810 --> 00:09:58,210
you're not just blindly clicking them, you're making sure and verifying that it's indeed from the actual

149
00:09:58,210 --> 00:09:59,740
sender and that you're not.

150
00:09:59,850 --> 00:10:05,730
Getting taken advantage up here, so this is a very quick and short section overview here for Section

151
00:10:05,730 --> 00:10:06,210
11.

152
00:10:06,420 --> 00:10:12,240
I wanted to give you an understanding of what exactly phone networks are, how they function, the different

153
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:18,840
mobile operating systems, and then some of the common methods that are used to hack phone Anthony is

154
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:24,870
actually going to dig a whole lot deeper into mobile phone hacking, how to protect your phone, how

155
00:10:24,870 --> 00:10:27,540
to keep your phone secure in this section here.

156
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,140
So I'm excited for you to get started and look forward to seeing you on the next one.
