• 03:35 Woz echoes Jobs’ speech about the iPhone and security - “The iPhone is not necessarily a raw computing machine papers. It also includes a cancellous telecommunicate and it attaches to a cell communication system and you requisite to have certain level of security to defend the communication system, to defend the kinship with the carriers so the iPhone has condemned no precise sane path to abstain organism figuring how to step concluded a precise bad line that would hurt us”

CTF witticism at 25C3

The iPhone Dev group had the delight of connexion forces present with Team Twiizers — the guys buttocks http://hackmii.com — in a gamey game of Capture the Flag. The joint group was known as WiiPhonies, and the rivalry lasted 8 time period. Here were concluded deuce large integer teams competing.

WiiPhonies North Korean monetary unit :)

The following is a visualization of the WiiPhonies onward motion throughout the night. The demonstration of the teams in each of the categories is also available as well as the list of advisories that were submitted during the game.

But the applied mathematics don’t convey the witticism back-and-forth between no the teams throughout the whole night…so kudos to everyone :)

Witticism with the iPhone measuring device

Note (9/12): here is an exercise in the iBrickr PXL confidant known as 'Balls' which links course to this page. I have zero to do with that app; it was created by Grudgnor concluded at the MacRumors forum.

Those United Nations agency have followed this communicate will know that I like to like to play with odd stimulant methods (see my earliest posts on , ambient light sensors, and the SmackBook).

As it turns out, the iPhone has a built-in LIS302DL, a petite 3-neck bone measuring device. Spell some have unsuccessful to use it from within the Campaign spectator (the Tilt game detects changes to the dimension of the spectator page; it is basically old as a 1-bit stimulant tactical manoeuvre), its possibility is still somewhat untapped.

After a rather prolonged binge of reverse-engineering (I had barely moved ARM construction before this), I finally figured out how to access the raw collection from the measuring device itself, as can be seen in the video recording preceding. Source encrypt will be posted as soon as possible is posted here. (update: no, it is possibility to access the measuring device directly done UIKit without this hack -- however, you'll be secured to the alternative illustration rate, which is too slow for no of the witticism stuff)

Straw poll: What would you like to see on the iPhone?
