Wo-hooo!!!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Device-lock In Openmode for N9/N950 !!
 

any info about how you did it?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Device-lock In Openmode for N9/N950 !!
 

reverse engineering with a couple of friends of mine

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Device-lock In Openmode for N9/N950 !!
 

Wow! That's pretty cool.

Does this still store the lockcode in CAL, or somewhere else?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Device-lock In Openmode for N9/N950 !!
 

@HtheB i see, why not pushing sources?
@Hurrian its just reimplementation of devicelock dbus service, storing in ... /home/user/devicelock/devicelock_settings and /home/user/devicelock/devicelock_password with MssftCrypto

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Device-lock In Openmode for N9/N950 !!
 

thanks very much for your hard remarkable work

but does that mean that n9 will be like n900 we can play with system adding for removing , changing and what so ever with out the irritating message permission denied code 3 ..which let us use qtweak root file box for changing icon or boot screen video

?????

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Device-lock In Openmode for N9/N950 !!
 

I Second that!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Device-lock In Openmode for N9/N950 !!
 

And I say: push to OpenRepos!

Bedankt.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Device-lock In Openmode for N9/N950 !!
 

@peterleinchen you cant push system package to openrepos :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Device-lock In Openmode for N9/N950 !!
 

Uh, oh.
Why not? Aren't there already some packages other than user package?
Of course they cannot be fetched via Warehouse. ;)

But where to store then? I really believe this should not be buried inside a forum post.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Device-lock In Openmode for N9/N950 !!
 

Because this is system package already installed.
I have trusted repository for that kind of packages. But i wont add this package without seeing sources :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Device-lock In Openmode for N9/N950 !!
 

Ah, now I got it. :)
Yep!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Device-lock In Openmode for N9/N950 !!
 

he is not the author of that package since he can't write a single of code.
he is just the guy posting it here. :))

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Device-lock In Openmode for N9/N950 !!
 

Nah, everybody can code... it's mostly just typing words after eachother :D

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Device-lock In Openmode for N9/N950 !!
 

Thanks a lot. Finally I saw what N9's device lock looks like! :D

Investigating the package, I doubt if the sources (or how its reverse engineered) will be published when the binary is 'finally' released so conservatively. ;) And I hope that the author can be trusted!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Device-lock In Openmode for N9/N950 !!
 

look who is asking...!!!!!!!!!!!!!

regards

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Device-lock In Openmode for N9/N950 !!
 

so what's your point ? /ot

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Device-lock In Openmode for N9/N950 !!
 

Still waiting for the sources.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Device-lock In Openmode for N9/N950 !!
 

Still waiting for sources too :)

Yosh :D
More cool n elegan with Device-Lock :) :D

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Device-lock In Openmode for N9/N950 !!
 

Hi HtheB,


It look like many people asked you for source code (seem legit since we touch to security of the device here).

Reading all this thread, I don't see any answer from you.

Can you answer if you are able to get the source code of modifications or not ?


Regards,

A++

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Device-lock In Openmode for N9/N950 !!
 

I really don't have the sources... :(
The truth is: I've got it from some forest cat... deeeeep deep inside the woods....
But the package is trustable if that concerns you

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Device-lock In Openmode for N9/N950 !!
 

The fact remains; unfortunately you just cannot trust it unless some base conditions are fulfilled:

• You more or less have to trust a security package if it comes from the original manufacturer. (means it is signed by Nokia)
  Even in this case it just depends if you trust the manufacturer, as quite a few people don't...
• You can almost certainly trust a package if the source code is available and you can compile it yourself.
  Even in this case it is possible you have a breach, for example your compiler toolchain may be compromised...

When an important security related package comes "from some forest cat... deeeeep deep inside the woods" it most certainly cannot be trusted.

There are a high number of possibilities to go wrong;

• the package might be compromised
• the software might have exploitable bugs
• the package might be incompatible with some firmware or installed software
