The first tries weren’t, as I must admit, very comfortable and time effective but still they worked. Being able to install a custom image offered direct access to the phones file system. This device got broken soon after its release, via access to the SoCs boot loader. We initially worked with with a Huawei Ascend W1. A flaw that was, sadly for us, fixed silently….Ī quick disclaimer: this post was supposed to be one little round of bashing, turns out they kind of fixed it 🙁 We quickly hooked onto using modified firmwares (with deeper system access) and found a perfect solution in a little flaw concerning the handling of SD cards in WP8.1. Lacking jailbreak, root, and similar approaches we had a closer look at alternate approaches to have a look at an apps interior. It all started with the first approaches on pentesting mobile applications on that new and rather closed platform.

During our first year of testing Windows Phone 8 applications we had yet another, let’s say: “surprising” finding.
