  • Cross-Platform Analysis of Indirect File Leaks in Android and Ios Applications
    Cross-Platform Analysis of Indirect File Leaks in Android and iOS Applications Daoyuan Wu and Rocky K. C. Chang Department of Computing, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University fcsdwu, [email protected] This paper was published in IEEE Mobile Security Technologies 2015 [47] with the original title of “Indirect File Leaks in Mobile Applications”. Victim App Abstract—Today, much of our sensitive information is stored inside mobile applications (apps), such as the browsing histories and chatting logs. To safeguard these privacy files, modern mobile Other systems, notably Android and iOS, use sandboxes to isolate apps’ components file zones from one another. However, we show in this paper that these private files can still be leaked by indirectly exploiting components that are trusted by the victim apps. In particular, Adversary Deputy Trusted we devise new indirect file leak (IFL) attacks that exploit browser (a) (d) parties interfaces, command interpreters, and embedded app servers to leak data from very popular apps, such as Evernote and QQ. Unlike the previous attacks, we demonstrate that these IFLs can Private files affect both Android and iOS. Moreover, our IFL methods allow (s) an adversary to launch the attacks remotely, without implanting malicious apps in victim’s smartphones. We finally compare the impacts of four different types of IFL attacks on Android and Fig. 1. A high-level IFL model. iOS, and propose several mitigation methods. four IFL attacks affect both Android and iOS. We summarize these attacks below. I. INTRODUCTION • sopIFL attacks bypass the same-origin policy (SOP), Mobile applications (apps) are gaining significant popularity which is enforced to protect resources originating from in today’s mobile cloud computing era [3], [4].

  • Organizing Screens with Mission Control | 61
    Organizing Screens with 7 Mission Control If you’re like a lot of Mac users, you like to do a lot of things at once. No matter how big your screen may be, it can still feel crowded as you open and arrange multiple windows on the desktop. The solution to the problem? Mission Control. The idea behind Mission Control is to show what you’re running all at once. It allows you to quickly swap programs. In addition, Mission Control lets you create multiple virtual desktops (called Spaces) that you can display one at a time. By storing one or more program windows in a single space, you can keep open windows organized without cluttering up a single screen. When you want to view another window, just switch to a different virtual desktop. Project goal: Learn to use Mission Control to create and manage virtual desktops (Spaces). My New Mac, Lion Edition © 2011 by Wallace Wang lion_book-4c.indb 59 9/9/2011 12:04:57 PM What You’ll Be Using To learn how to switch through multiple virtual desktops (Spaces) on your Macintosh using Mission Control, you’ll use the following: > Mission Control > The Safari web browser > The Finder program Starting Mission Control Initially, your Macintosh displays a single desktop, which is what you see when you start up your Macintosh. When you want to create additional virtual desktops, or Spaces, you’ll need to start Mission Control. There are three ways to start Mission Control: > Start Mission Control from the Applications folder or Dock. > Press F9.
