36C3 - All wireless communication stacks are equally broken
https://media.ccc.de/v/36c3-10531-all_wireless_communication_stacks_are_equally_broken Wireless connectivity is an integral part of almost any modern device. These technologies include LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC. Attackers in wireless range can send arbitrary signals, which are then processed by the chips and operating systems of these devices. Wireless specifications and standards for those technologies are thousands of pages long, and thus pose a large attack surface. Wireless exploitation is enabled by the technologies any smartphone user uses everyday. Without wireless connectivity our devices are bricked. While we can be more careful to which devices and networks we establish connections to protect ourselves, we cannot disable all wireless chips all the time. Thus, security issues in wireless implementations affect all of us. Wireless chips run a firmware that decodes wireless signals and interprets frames. Any parsing error can lead to code execution within the chip. Thi
