In the hands of hackers, 4 Apple iPhone and BlackBerry Torch which made ​​by Research In Motion (RIM) is not good enough as we can see from its security. Three researchers from Anon Team has  successfully penetrated the security systems Torch through weaknesses which found in the browser rendering engine, Webkit. They managed to smuggle the program to prove that they are able to exploit a weakness to steal contact lists and database images.

 

Despite many shortcomings, it’s not easy to penetrate the BlackBerry and it’s because there is no documentation for the public about the operating system. Therefore, hackers have to do trial and error techniques to try to penetrate. Webkit is one part of a potential target and Torch is the first BlackBerry device that uses Webkit in its browser. However, the browser still has not completed the address space layout randomization (ASLR) and Data execution prevention (DEP).

 

As for attacking the iPhone 4, hackers also exploit weaknesses in the mobile version of the Safari browser. Charlie Miller, a security researcher managed to smuggle a program to steal a list of contact names. It uses the return-oriented programming techniques (ROP) to bypass DEP. The targets which attacked by hackers were the iPhone 4 that uses operating system IOS 4.2. In the latest IOS version 4.3, the vulnerability is not yet repaired. However, additional ASLR may be able to resist the techniques used to attack.

 

The official website of the BlackBerry, Research In Motion (RIM) as the developer of operating system used by BlackBerry Devices was introduced the BlackBerry Device Simulator. This application is actually intended for application developers and BlackBerry themes to test, whether an application or themes that they create can run flawlessly on the BlackBerry or not. For ordinary users, the BlackBerry simulator can help you to find out and try to features in the BlackBerry without an actual BlackBerry on your hand which also means that you do not have to buy Blackberry just to know about how it works.

 

These applications are divided based on the series of operating systems ever released and used in each series BlackBerry Smartphone. For example the version 5.0 BlackBerry 9500 and Blackberry 9000 BOLD STORM, version 6.0 Blackberry Torch 9800 and there is also a special simulator used for the Email and MDS Service.
