The cellular system operators around the world

imagesMost hackers are in their twenties and Scandinavian. There must be something about the public school mathematics courses or the computer science classes in that part of the world. The latest really heroic hack came from close by Germany, and the magician was only 21 years old. Karsten Nohl broke the encryption code that protects most of the world’s cell phones. The GSM algorithm was first created in 1988. It must have been very well designed to have remained invulnerable from episodic hacker assaults for so long a period.

The cellular system operators around the world now have a severe problem. The GSM Association called the hack action illegal and said it could not see why anyone would be malicious enough to use it to threaten the security of consumer wireless communications. That assumes far too much. There has to be one malicious character among all the hackers in the world who would like to threaten the privacy of wireless voice communication and get access to data which is currently assumed to be private as well.

Nohl has put his code up on BitTorrent, one of the largest file-sharing services in the world. It will only be a matter of a few days before intelligent software coders all over the world will have access to it. Phone technology experts say that hackers are still not in a position to intercept calls, but, with scores of people playing with Nohl’s code, the day when someone can “listen in” on a wireless call is not far off. The New York Times points out that a well-funded criminal organization could set up a system to tap into government or intelligence agency calls.

A little change helps you to find someone’s cell phone number

Jan 13, 2010 Author admin

Cell phone number is someone’s secrecy that bond by law. It means you are not allowed to access the information of someone’s number freely or you’ll be prosecuted under the privacy law. This situation absolutely difficult you very much especially when you have to hold a communication with someone whose number has lost or have been mistakenly deleted on your cell phone. On the other hand, you have no power to access cell phone directory to find cell phone number.
Generally cell phone numbers are not open to public, so you will have to hire a private investigator to seek the number you want. For that, you must pay a breath-taking number of money just to know one’s cell phone number and it is a really unreasonable thing to do because $200 seems too expensive for such kind of information. But there’s nothing else you can do but letting your $200 go.

However, now you can throw away your anxiety and fear of losing much money because the new change of this privacy law now enables you to find a cell phone number you look for in the protected cell phone directory. Even though the accessing of cell phone directory is restricted only to officers of the law and other licensed investigators, it gives you the easier way than hiring an expensive private investigator. It is true that, again, you must pay the licensed investigators to find the number you want, but the amount of money you should pay for this is not that great in number and more reasonable.
To find certain cell phone number, there is a cell phone directory which is also used by law enforcement or private investigators called National Cellphone Number Registry. It enables you to find the cell number by name, but still, the number you asked for will never be available for public. In brief, this small change of privacy law proves helping people.

cell phone encryption

Karsten Nohl presented his work at the Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin, a 4-day conference for computer hackers. He also released his findings via BitTorrent, where they can be downloaded by anyone.

The GSM standard was originally created in 1988 using 64-bit encryption called the A5/1 privacy algorithm, though a stronger 128-bit algorithm is currently available. Nohl says that his work is intended to push carriers who haven’t upgraded into tightening their security.

Consumers increasingly rely on their mobile phones as a primary means of communication and insecure mobile networks could become a huge threat for transactions like mobile banking and commerce. Without the proper security measures, consumer information could be vulnerable to well-funded cyber criminals.

Claire Cranton of the GSM Association said, “this is theoretically possible but practically unlikely.” She continued that, “what he is doing would be illegal in Britain and the United States. To do this while supposedly being concerned about privacy is beyond me.”

Cracking into a mobile operator’s network would require specialized equipment to intercept the signal and to analyze the transmissions that aren’t available to the general public. Nohl counters that open source software is available to do the signal processing if the hackers get their hands on the right equipment.

Overall this isn’t an immediate threat to anyone’s mobile privacy, though it could become one if carriers don’t upgrade their security. Cell phone users on GSM networks account for over 80 percent of the world’s 4.3 billion wireless subscribers.

Is Your Cell Phone Service Gay-Friendly?

Jan 4, 2010 Author admin

I’ve been doing a lot of research lately about cell phone providers because my contract with AT&T expired several months ago. I want to find the best deal possible, but I also want to make sure that the money I pay the phone company each month isn’t going towards political causes that hurt the gay community.
A recent issue of Consumer Reports rates the four major cell phone providers in the US in terms of cost, service coverage, and overall customer satisfaction. Verizon rates the highest in terms of customer satisfaction and cost. AT&T is the best in terms of smart phones and internet accessibility. Sprint and T Mobile are at the bottom of the barrel in every category. The article also compared the major service providers against pre-paid cell phone services and found that for customers who simply want phone service without any of the bells and whistles, pre-paid service is a very suitable option.
The article did not, however, factor in the question of politics. Queercents readers have often been asked if they would boycott a company if it supported anti-gay causes, regardless of whether or not they were cheaper than a gay-friendly company. The feedback has been mixed, but pretty heavily in favor of boycotting anti-gay companies.
The HRC Corporate Equality Index has pretty detailed feedback about the major cell phone providers, although T Mobile is not listed in the Corporate Equality Index. Verizon has a 70% rating. They provide domestic partner benefits for their employees, and sexual orientation is included in the company’s nondiscrimination policy, but gender identity is not. They also don’t provide any sort of training for managers about LGBT employment issues. And they are not listed as an LGBT philanthropic group.
AT&T has a 100% ranking. They include both sexual orientation, and gender identity in their nondiscrimination policy. AT&T provides domestic partner benefits for their employees, and transgender health care is fully covered under the company’s plan. AT&T also provides training for managers on LGBT employment issues, and they are a financial supporter of LGBT causes. I would be pretty shocked if they weren’t, though, seeing as AT&T is the only provider that supports the iPhone, and gays seem love anything that comes from Steve Jobs.
Sprint also has a 100% ranking. In my experience, though, Sprint has terrible customer service. I don’t care how many rainbow ad campaigns they might have, I would never sign another contract with them.
What about you? Are you concerned about how your cell phone company is spending the money you give it? Or would you be willing to go with Verizon simply because they have the best rates and higher customer satisfaction? I’d love to hear your opinion.

German hacker cracks cell phone encryption

Jan 2, 2010 Author admin

A German engineer has broken the 64-bit encryption still used by a large number of GSM cellular networks around the globe and released his findings online in hopes of spurring tighter security. What does this really mean for most wireless phone users?

Karsten Nohl presented his work at the Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin, a 4-day conference for computer hackers. He also released his findings via BitTorrent, where they can be downloaded by anyone.

The GSM standard was originally created in 1988 using 64-bit encryption called the A5/1 privacy algorithm, though a stronger 128-bit algorithm is currently available. Nohl says that his work is intended to push carriers who haven’t upgraded into tightening their security.

Overall this isn’t an immediate threat to anyone’s mobile privacy, though it could become one if carriers don’t upgrade their security. Cell phone users on GSM networks account for over 80 percent of the world’s 4.3 billion wireless subscribers.

In the U.S., both AT&T and T-Mobile use the GSM standard, while Verizon and Sprint use a different protocol. That accounts for about 299 million cell phone users in the United States alone.
