GOOGLE GLASS HACKED


The public pre-released google glass is vulnerable said software developers.
Tweeted  by a software developer, the popular cydia developer-Jay freeman popularly known as  Saurik stated on Friday that google glass which runs the android 4.0.4 version is subject to the ADB restore race condition, making it vulnerable to exploitations after running a research on the developer’s model of the google glass.



According to forbes.com, Saurik found out that the use of of a propounded exploit by a hacker known as Binary could grant a user full access to the google’s glass operating system. The process entails backing up the device, modifying the back up and while restoring the back up, changes are made to the restored data that redirects the restored data to overwrite a critical configuration file. This makes the device think it’s running on the android developer’s emulator which grants full control to developers.
 Liam McLoughlin, a software developer, also described the google glass as an easy to root device on his twitter handle @Hexxeh and that called for a response by Tim Bray(a google staff) who replied that the google glass device is hackable.


This discovery could help google glass users violate Google’s terms of use on the google glass without it been detected according to Forbes and that I feel could possibly signify that the device can be re-sold or shared by two or more users as against Google’s instructions.
CYDIA NOW AVAILABLE ON ANDROID
No one could tell if this leak could be vulnerable on the about to be released public version or only possible on the developers version. I feel Google needs a re-think for a secured re-work.
