Hackers can steal 2FA codes and private messages from Android phones. The "Pixnapping" attack is a really clever piece of research. It shows that the theoretical wall between apps on your phone isn't as solid as we'd like to believe. By exploiting a GPU side channel, a malicious app with zero permissions can effectively screenshot other apps, one pixel at a time. It's a reminder that security is a stack, and a vulnerability at the hardware level can undermine everything built on top of it.

TL;DR
👾 A new attack called "Pixnapping" can read visual data from other apps on Android devices.
🔑 It exploits a GPU side-channel leak to steal sensitive info like 2FA codes and messages, pixel by pixel.
⚠️ The scary part: the malicious app required for the attack needs zero special permissions to be granted.
🧠 While complex to pull off, this is a serious proof of concept that challenges the core idea of OS app sandboxing.

The end of an era.

If you don’t know what Tavis (and the P0) has contributed to and changed the vulnerability research community, let me give you just an example: if not because of Tavis and P0, we’d be still waiting 6 or 12 months to get a Windows or Office bug patched.

We've just published "Streamlining Vulnerability Research with the idalib Rust Bindings for IDA 9.2" by @raptor, now live on our freshly restyled blog:

https://hnsecurity.it/blog/streamlining-vulnerability-research-with-the-idalib-rust-bindings-for-ida-9-2/

Originally featured last week as a guest post on the @HexRaysSA blog, this article shows how Marco's headless #IDA plugins written in #Rust can be used to scale up #vulnerability research and uncover real-world security issues efficiently.

If you’re into reverse engineering, automation, or vulnerability discovery, this one's a must-read! 💻 🦀
