Trojan on Symbian S60 3rd Edition

We've an interesting mobile case to report…

One of today's samples is a trojan compiled for S60 3rd Edition phones. It's detected as Trojan:SymbOS/Yxe.A.

This is something we don't see very often. There are spy tools and other privacy threats directed at S60 3rd Edition phones, but malware is still mainly an issue on S60 2nd Edition phones.

S60 3rd Edition uses a different binary structure than 2nd Edition, and then all 3rd Edition applications must be signed. What's special about Yxe is that all evidence suggests it uses a valid Symbian Certificate.

With this certificate, the trojan was signed. And being a signed application it gains privileged access.

The source of this trojan is China.

Here you can see the language options, EN and ZH:


Did you also notice the "Sexy View" and "Play Boy"? That should give you a good idea of the Social Engineering that's being utilized.

Our mobile analysts are still working the case. We'll have more for you as it develops.

Subclassing List Box in Symbian OS

This article explains how to subclass a list box in Symbian OS, especially in UIQ. One reason to subclass a list box is to have our own custom list box, for example you can display a double line list box (see Figure 1a). I will focus the discussion in this article on UIQ because Series 60 has already various types of list box, for instance CAknDoubleStyleListBox, CAknSingleHeadingStyleListBox, etc. In most cases, you can use one of these classes.However, in a few cases, you might need to subclass list box in Series 60 as well.

I will start this article with the architecture of list box in Symbian and then go through how to subclass a list box. At the end of this article, I will give a simple example of custom list box and how to use it (with the complete source code).

Before reading this article, I have a small comment. If you just want to port a Series 60 application that uses CAknXXXListBox to UIQ, there is a faster way. You might consider a tool called S2U, which is able to port Series 60 user interface to UIQ (see Further Reading section at the end of this article).


Architecture of List Box in Symbian

I won't discuss the architecture of Symbian list box in more detail (read one of the references at the end of this article if you want to know more about it). Like any other components in Symbian, the list box uses MVC (Model-View-Controller) model. Figure 2 shows the MVC model of the list box in Symbian.



As you can see here, the "controller" in this MVC model is CEikListBox. This is the class that you have to create to display a list box, although usually you will use one of its derived classes, for instance CEikTextListBox, CEikColumnListBox and CEikSnakingListBox.

The "model" of the list box, i.e. MListBoxModel, stores the data of your items. Basically it allows you to get and set the items of the list box. Since MLlistBoxModel is an interface, we have to create a model using one of its derived classes, for instance CTextListBoxModel.

The "view", i.e. CListBoxView, handles all the user interface stuff and displays the list box on the screen. Like the controller and the model, there are some derived classes of CListBoxView, for example CTextListBoxView.

From the controller class, CEikListBox, you can get the model using CEikListBox::Model() and get the view using CEikListBox::View(). This why you don't need to save the instance of the model and view in your application, you need to save the instance of the controller only.

Interpreting Signing Error Messages in S60 3rd Edition

If you have been reading discussions at Forum Nokia Developer Discussion Board recently, you may notice there are many questions about signing in S60 3rd Edition. It seems the new security feature in Symbian 9 has led to frustration for some developers. I would like to share what kind of error messages I have seen when installing signed/unsigned application in S60 3rd Edition phones. There is a hint that explains what may cause a particular message.I may not be able to cover all error messages because I may not have seen all of them. Read also a nice blog posting from S60 team, Signing applications for S60 3rd Edition.Message: Certificate error Contact the application supplier.

Hint: You may have tried installing unsigned application. Note that signing is mandatory S60 3rd Edition. You can use self-signed certificate or developer certificate from Symbian Signed to sign your application.Message: Unable to install. Constrained by the certificate.

Message: Required application access not granted.

Hint: This message pops up when you attempt to install developer certificate in the unsupported device. The developer certificate from Symbian Signed can only be used in a limited number of devices. Remember that you have to send your IMEIs to Symbian Signed when requesting certificate. You cannot use the certificate in other devices that is not in your IMEIs list.

Spyphone 4 Children

This application turns your phone into a full remote surveillance tool! However, you are not the active spy, but the phone will alert you whenever something interesting is happening.
The basic setup is simple. Set the "agent" - that’s the contact’s telephone number that should be informed in the case of an emergency. Next, place the phone at the place that you want to monitor, for example next to a baby.
From now on, the application will constantly monitor the audio level of its surroundings. If they exceed a pre-defined threshold, the phone will automatically call the agent. As a normal voice call is made, you can now hear the surroundings of the phone in order to judge if something serious is happening.


Technical Background
The audio processing is done in two tasks - one records the current surroundings, while the other analyzes the previous recording. This would provide an ideal starting point for further sound processing. For example, it would be possible to analyze the frequencies of the sound to judge if it could really be a human voice.
The application is developed in Python for S60 and is available for free as open source. Installation instructions are included in the download.

Tutorial Book: Hacking Wireless Networks For Dummies (1 cd)

Welcome to Hacking Wireless Networks For Dummies. This book outlines plain-English, wireless-network hacker tricks and techniques you can use to ethically hack 802.11-based wireless networks (yours or someone else’s if you’ve been given permission) and discover security vulnerabilities. By turning the tables and using ethical hacking techniques, you then have a leg up on the malicious hackers — you’ll be aware of any vulnerabilities that exist and be able to plug the holes before the bad guys have a chance to exploit them.

Wireless networks are popping up everywhere. They provide a lot of freedom but not without cost: All too many wireless networks are left wide open for attack. As with any other computer or network, you must be up on the latest security concepts to properly secure 802.11-based wireless networks. But locking them down involves more than just port-scanning testing and patching vulnerabilities. You must also have the right security tools, use the proper testing techniques, and possess a watchful eye. And know your enemy: It’s critical to think like a hacker to get a true sense of how secure your information really is.

Hack most wireless LANs in minutes!

Even after two years of WPA certification and nearly one year after 802.11i ratification, you might be wondering why I’m still talking about WEP encryption. The fact is, I would love to stop talking about it if there weren’t such an overwhelming percentage of corporations, retail outlets, and hospitals still using WEP. Although WPA brought us TKIP (think of TKIP as WEP 2.0) encryption and 802.11i brought us AES encryption, the upgrade process has been extremely painful and many products still don’t support TKIP let alone AES. The sad state of wireless LAN security is that the majority of corporations and hospitals still use dynamic per-user, per-session WEP keys while the majority of retail outlets that I’ve seen still use a single, fixed WEP key.

In the past, a hacker was at the mercy of waiting long periods of time for legitimate traffic on a wireless LAN to collect 10 million of packets to break a WEP key. In my previous blog on this topic, which was based on Mike Ossmann’s WEP article, I alerted you to the startling fact that even wireless LANs that used 802.1x/EAP authentication to dynamically assign unique per-user, per-session WEP keys were no longer safe against WEP hacking since WEP cryptanalysis had improved 50 fold. Instead of waiting for hours or even days for those 10 million packets, you now only needed about 200,000 packets to break WEP. Even though dynamic WEP key rotation could change a user’s WEP key every few minutes or so (note that key rotation isn’t always implemented by default), the new WEP cryptanalysis techniques put even dynamic WEP in striking range. Now with the new active attacks on WEP described in Ossmann’s follow-up article, hackers no longer need to passively wait for legitimate packets on a wireless LAN because they can actively inject packets into a wireless LAN to ensure a speedy packet collection session. The end result is, any WEP based network with or without Dynamic WEP keys can now be cracked in minutes! If you’re scared, you should be and you’d better go back and read the recommendations in the end of my previous blog if you’re still running WEP in any form.
