A ping of death for the iPhone
Thursday, July 23, 2009 at 5:16PM 
The release of the 3rd generation of the iPhone was the reason for me to rush to the TMobile store to get the 32G version. I had to wait for about one week first, but finaly got one, and I love it! But there is one thing that worries me a bit. I was able to remotely drain the battery in 30-45 minutes, just by pinging the public IP address, assigned by TMobile, to the GPRS/3G interface of the phone. Is your battery draining for no reason? Is your iPhone running hot when in standby modus? Then read on...
I was curious to see what IP address I was using during 3G networking. It turns out that on the Dutch TMobile network you are assigned a random IP within a block of TMobile mobile internet users. You can check this out by going to a site like whatsmyip.org, or installing the iStat app, which also shows you the 'cell IP' of the iPhone. To see if my iPhone was pingable, I issued the ping command on the OSX terminal on my MacBook, to which it responded. I was also be able use an app like Datacase, to share documents over the internet via FTP and HTTP from my iPhone. An Nmap to the device even reported that port 21 was open. Wtf? In other words, there is nothing between your device and the evil outside world when you switch on your iPhone, at least on the TMobile network in the Netherlands. Scary stuff.
When I was done experimenting, I noticed after 30 minutes that my fully charged iPhone ran a little hot and the battery suddenly was as good as empty, even though I had put it to rest by pressing the top button. It turned out that the ping I did half an hour before on my MacBook was still running and had kept the 3G module alive, sucking the energy from my phone. Crap!
I tried the same thing with a Nokia E71 on the same network, but this trick did not work. The E71 switches the 3G networking on when needed, for instance when the browser starts. Close the browser, and the device goes offline. I haven't tried other phones yet, but I'm curious to see how an Android reacts...
So, how could an attacker do harm to you and me remotely? Well, I used a nice tool called xprobe to do a remote ICMP fingerprint of the OS. One run of the tool against my public iPhone IP showed that the device was probably "Apple Mac OS X 10.3.x". Apparently, the iPhone responded with OSX characteristics. Easy catch! Someone can just scan the IP block with xprobe, and ping all iPhones he finds to death. Another, more targeted approach would be to lure you to his webserver, tailing and grepping his logs to see if any iPhones come along and then ping the device to death. He could also send you an email, containing a remote image to do this. Remote image loading is switched ON by default on the iPhone Mail app, so this method would be easier. Why would someone do this? For fun? An iPhone hater? Or just because?
Other networks in the Netherlands that offer GPRS/3G do not seem to be vulnerable to this problem because of the use of NAT or blocking inbound traffic. I hope that TMobile will do the same soon. Please share your experiences on other networks here.

As for Word 2010, Microsoft Office I really like the ribbon effect Microsoft Office 2007. The only really annoying thing so far is Micro office 2010 that once a document is closed, it doesn't show up on the "Recent Documents" list if it is download Office 2010 saved in the temp directory (for example). So, 2010 office if you forget to save your doc to the Office 2007 right place, it may be hard to find. For me, being on the set of the Martha Stewart television show Office Microsoft 2010 was a treat. It was the Office 2010 download second time, actually, because back in October Anduin showcased Office Microsoft Microsoft OneNote on the air for how it was office 2010 professional helping her keep track of everything from her daughter's school information to her holiday gift list to her complete set of Thanksgiving plans. This was simple to install, early loaded onto my new Windows 7 program. Office 2010 I had no problem MS office 2007 linking over old files from my MS office 2010 old computer. Old file information was easy absorbed by the 'New' versions of the various office products and Microsoft outlook 2010 in just a few minutes all my Office 2007 key old data was reasonable so I had very minimal down time. Last week, the Martha Stewart show featured Microsoft office professional 2010 Word in a television segment about office 2010 pro how to make personal holiday cards quickly and easily. As the product guy responsible for most of the Office Microsoft outlook apps, of course I was Office 2007 download tickled by the fact that Office 2010 Microsoft Word was going to be on TV. Word doesn't get much stage time, you understand. She's definitely the behind-the-scenes kind of girl; much like Anduin Havens, who is the art director for the Microsoft Office 2010 Martha Stewart show download Office 2007. Anduin has got to be one of the 2010 Office Microsoft most creative people I've ever met. She's brilliant, she's won an Emmy for her work on creating the Outlook 2010 set of the show, and she made Office 2010 key these beautiful holiday cards office 2010 home in Word, which were featured on the air.
