GeoHot was supposed to participate in the 5th annual pwn2own contest but has backed down because he had to “Devote time to the Sony Lawsuit”. Its up to the rest of the people now!
GeoHot wont hack the WP7
The WP7 phone that they will be using will be a Dell Venue Pro.
“Windows 7 Mobile – This was by far the hardest choice, it came down to the HTC HD7 and the Dell Venue Pro, with nearly identical specs, but eventually the keyboard and the same resolution slightly more viewable screen on the Dell Venue Pro won the day. Things became a little more complicated with this one when the vendor we used(who shall remain nameless) bait and switched our unlocked phone order for a carrier locked T-Mobile unit. After searching long and hard for an in-stock unlocked unit, calling up Microsoft stores only to find out that the rumors of unlocked phones being sold there, are after all, false, and then finding this statement by Dell, we gave up and relented on the locked unit and its sexy hw. Now we get to see how forthcoming T-Mobile is with unlock codes, or have to spoof them on our OpenBTS setup.”
A successful hack should require “little or no user interaction” and must also compromise useful data from the phone such as silent long distance calling or eavesdropping on conversations.
