Intentionally or not, your phone leaks data to the world. What can you-- or your enemies-- uncover from mobile network traffic? Dig through real-life Android packet captures to uncover GPS coordinates, usernames and accounts, social networking data, and more. Dissect a traffic dump of Android malware and analyze phone data as it is exfiltrated to third-party servers. The second half of this workshop is a mobile network forensics contest. Each attendee will be given a mysterious USB drive and a note with a challenge. Students must use the skills they've gained in class to unravel the mystery. You are the forensics investigator. Can you solve the puzzle in time?
To participate, workshop attendees must bring a laptop with at least 2GB of RAM, a DVD drive. and VMWare Workstation or Player preinstalled and licensed (evaluation licenses are available from VMWare's web site).
