hi I'm Kara Tsuboi cnet.com joined by senior editor Seth Rosenblatt who just got back from to computer security conferences in Las Vegas like her hi black at first and then def con let's start with black hat give us a highlight sure black head is the more professional enterprise level security side of of the week and one of the most interesting things that happened there this year was an iOS app hacking session this is not hacking iOS itself which is still fairly secure but for hacking the apps this researcher discovered several ways to hack them one of the most interesting was that the phones and iPads are actually a hackable by downloading the entire database to your computer okay you only need a few minutes to connect the phone grab all the information give the phone back to whomever you stole it from and then you can work on the encryption at your own pace now the second half of your week was at DEFCON I know that's a pretty fun show to attend def cons a lot of fun this year was very interesting because the ninja hacker group put together a phone that you can use to get on their private cell phone network that they built at the show this has only been done once before in the world and it was very interesting as a proof of concept for what people can do to get around the verizons and AT&T is in the world and you were lucky enough to come home with a phone as a souvenir I did get a phone the interface is quite interesting it's a custom version of Android and it's built on an HTC One V nice and this is a really cool detail about def con is that even the badges are hackable yes the fun the battles are great yeah absolutely thank you so much seth rosenblatt anyone thank you for watching
