Title
Perpetrate Network Attacks From Mobile Devices
Abstract
Due to the recent evolution of mobile devices, the gap between smartphones and desktop computers has been reduced in the last year. Today, last generation smart devices can execute almost every activity associated to a common computer. In this paper we focus on the adoption of mobile devices as a vector to perpetrate network attacks. Our aim is to prove the possibility to execute malicious activities from mobile devices. Since desktop oriented attacks are often perpetrated through anonymizing network (i.e. Tor, I2P), we also analyze a possible attack executed over an onion network. We introduce in particular a mobile denial of service threat, Slow Droid, running on Android mobile devices and making use of minimum amount of network bandwidth.
