I also believe mobiles will be a attack vector in 2014 and beyond - more and more people are using mobiles to connect to work and home networks. Mobiles are also replacing laptops - people use them to do all their banking and personals.
Mobiles are also 'new' in the sense that even some computer savvy people can't figure out what is running in the background of their mobiles.
I chose Android as the next study for these reasons.
IOS is second most popular.
I guess we will start a new forum section on mobile hacking

We study mobile security in school, and you are right in thinking it is the up-and-coming security/attack vector. In a lot of ways the threats are the same, but people don't seem to take the same measure of security with their mobile phone as they do with their laptops (and for those of you who are thinking that people don't protect their laptops, you're proving my point)
I don't think it's that people don't "know" that their phone is a huge point of failure to the safety of personal data, I think it's that they haven't quite realized the scope of the potential leak.
As I finish this up and app on my Android device asked if it could have access to Hardware:Camera. I wonder how many people just press ok.

plenty. when I did my webmastering studies one docent said something I will never forget, simply because it's totally true. the lecture was about malware (especially reverse shells) and he said: you can send mass mails with the subject "warning, virus, do not open!" and attach a file with the name "virus.exe"...some people will still click on it.
b_b you just gave me an idea what about making a virus and when they open emails it prompts warning do not open and when they press okay it executes not only you warned them but you did it too
Getting network users to compromise a network is common - spam emails, crafted trojans - are a great way to penetrate a network. Network users also try to bypass the company wifi to avoid the boss catching them surfing porn - so you can set up a rogue wifi AP to backdoor a corporate network.
People are the flaw.

That's true. Some simple html & php coding can also accomplish some things depending on what you're wanting to do. For instance I know one programmer who does nothing but design in html, and is trying to get the jist of php (which is basically the function within the realm of html) and comes up with some nice stuff that can execute any file from that. Some of the guys I know have looked into embedding an .exe file within a simple image file, but so far it's kinda been put on the back burner.
Scatter, have you done any mobile stuff? Because there's a whole bunch of people who've been railroaded by yahoo. The ceo of that company has done them real shitty and that ceo has ruined all their groups and stuff. If you'd like, we can talk offboard. I'd like to help these people get something back. Some are elderly people who've really come under great distress due to the total shitheadedness of that ceo and her minions.
till now I didn t do any mobile stuff, I am working on learning mobile apps dev as one of the things am learning now but what s the relation between mobile and that yahoo
so for those who have enjoy 
as said " knowledge is power "
