12:28 Big brother sees you cloud computing on the simcard | |
| This article is about the Beeline and spammers habrahabr.ru/blogs/telecom/77411 /, but rather comments on it reminded me of an interesting thing, which probably not everyone knows. And the thing itself is very entertaining. Did you know that the phone SIM card is a full-fledged handheld computers? Yes, yes. It is a computer with its operating system, processor, system I / O, RAM, ROM and EEPROM. It has long been sim card is no longer simply an identifier in the subscriber's network. Now it also has several other functions, many of which are known, and some - not very. And most interesting of these is the fact that mobile operators to remotely and with almost no knowledge of the user can install on it's own software. It can be as various additional menu in the phone like any MTS-Info, etc., as well as other programs on the functions of which we can only guess (molecules hatskery SIM cards, perhaps, may not even be anyone's guess. Is there such?). Why did I write that software for sim card mobile operators can install remotely are almost always unbeknownst to the user? Yes, because some phones (eg, smart phones Nokia) have the opportunity to specify the mode settings when the phone is "asking" the owner permission to exchange data SIM card and operator. Last time I noticed that your phone oschatlivlennogo Simcoe from MTS, some stubborn desire to convey something of the sim. Another intrusive and imposed a service - "Be in the know". And much as I did not ask me to disable MTS this "innovative" technology - the result has not appeared. A pity. Once qualitatively different operator, business-oriented direction was now clear than with advertising and spam. A pity. But I have strayed somewhat from the thread of the narrative. And it led me to the fact that having such interesting possibilities here for remote installation of software on the SIM card, mobile operators, in fact, can control the data stored on the phone and, if necessary, transfer them to myself though. And then we can see a qualitatively new level of SMS advertising! It will be content! After analyzing your text messages and other records) PS. In fact, do not worry. All the same, all your SMS go through your same operator. But this does not mean that he did not decide to use the processing power of your Sim to the organization of cloud computing!) So it's time to develop a firewall and antivirus software for Sim-cards. | |
