WhatsApp encrypts messages using the RC4 protocol and obtains a hash from either a user's IMEI number on Android or MAC address on iPhone. However, WhatsApp initially sends some identifying information such as a user's phone number in plain text, which could allow others to intercept this data on unsecured networks. It is recommended to use a VPN when sending WhatsApp messages on public Wi-Fi networks to help prevent this type of interception.

Internet
The document defines and discusses key concepts related to the Internet and Internet applications. It begins by defining the Internet as a global system of interconnected computer networks that use TCP/IP protocols to link devices worldwide. It then discusses some common advantages and disadvantages of Internet use. The document goes on to explain concepts like evolution of the Internet, popular uses of the Internet including email, shopping, and social networking, how the Internet works using a client-server model, the world wide web and its invention, web servers, search engines, web browsers, and email.
Man in The Middle Attack
A man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack intercepts communications between two parties by relaying and controlling messages between them. The attacker eavesdrops and potentially modifies the communication by replacing the keys for their own. This allows them to intercept sensitive transmissions like passwords or financial transactions. A MITM works by spoofing the MAC address of the target to intercept and manipulate traffic between the target and other devices on the network, such as a router. Encrypted connections and careful certificate verification can help prevent MITM attacks.
HTTP vs HTTPS Difference
HTTP is a protocol for sending and receiving data between a web server and client like web browsers. It allows web pages and other files to be transferred but the data is not encrypted, so it can be viewed or intercepted by others. HTTPS encrypts this data transfer using SSL certificates to provide a secure connection and prevent sensitive information from being stolen. The main advantages of HTTPS are that it helps build trust, provides security, and qualifies websites for features like AMP pages.

Hacking and Securing iOS Apps : Part 1
This slide briefs about various tools & techniques used to extract unprotected data from iOS apps. You can extract resource files, database files, get data in runtime using various methods. In my next slides I will brief about the ways to secure your iOS apps.
End-to-end encryption explained
End-to-end encryption provides stronger security than HTTPS alone. It encrypts messages on the sender's device before transmission so that only the recipient can decrypt it with their private key, rather than data being encrypted in transit only. BunkerMail uses this method, generating unique AES keys for each message and attachment, encrypting the keys with the recipient's RSA public key so only they can decrypt it, ensuring the information is accessible by the end users and not others like servers.
iOS-Application-Security-iAmPr3m
Prem Kumar is a senior security consultant who specializes in web, mobile, and network penetration testing. He has previously presented at security conferences and found vulnerabilities in applications from companies like Facebook, Apple, and Yahoo. The agenda for his talk covers topics like iOS architecture, application structures, types of iOS applications and distribution methods, iOS penetration testing techniques, jailbreaking, and setting up an iOS testing platform. He will demonstrate runtime analysis and penetration testing on real iOS applications.
12 symmetric key cryptography
The document discusses symmetric key cryptography. It begins with an introduction to cryptography and encryption techniques like substitution ciphers. It then covers symmetric encryption in more detail, explaining block ciphers like DES and AES, as well as modes of operation like ECB, CBC, and OFB. It provides an example Java implementation of AES encryption and decryption. It also briefly covers stream ciphers like RC4 and the concept of steganography.
Different types of Symmetric key Cryptography
This document discusses different types of symmetric key cryptography. It describes stream ciphers and block ciphers as the two main classifications. Stream ciphers combine plaintext with a pseudorandom cipher stream using XOR, while block ciphers encrypt fixed-length blocks. Example stream ciphers include RC4 and A5/1, while example block ciphers are DES, 3DES, and AES. The document provides details on the algorithms, components, and workings of these various symmetric key cryptography methods.
3 public key cryptography
Public key cryptography uses asymmetric encryption with two related keys - a public key and a private key. The public key can be shared openly but the private key is kept secret. When Alice wants to send a confidential message to Bob, she encrypts it with Bob's public key. Only Bob can decrypt it using his private key. Public key infrastructure involves policies and technologies for issuing, managing, and revoking digital certificates that bind public keys to identities. Popular public key algorithms like RSA are based on the difficulty of factoring large prime numbers.
Whatsapp's Architecture
This is how whatsapp scaled to handle a huge amount of concurrent traffic with erlang. This is extracted from - file:///home/udayakiran/Downloads/efsf2012-whatsapp-scaling.pdf
Whatsapp uses ejabberd and customized it to scale more.
PUBLIC KEY ENCRYPTION
Public key cryptography uses key pairs - a public key and a private key - to encrypt and decrypt messages. The public key can be shared widely, while the private key is kept secret. This allows users to securely share encrypted messages without having to first share secret keys. Common applications of public key cryptography include public key encryption and digital signatures.
Malware
The document provides an overview of malware types and techniques. It discusses viruses, worms, trojans, rootkits, and other malware. It describes how malware infects systems, propagates, and hides. Historic malware examples like Morris worm, Code Red, and SQL Slammer are summarized. Methods for malware detection like signatures, heuristics, sandboxing, and network monitoring are also covered at a high level.
Computer Malware
Malware refers to unwanted software that can damage computers, including viruses, trojans, worms, spyware, and more. Viruses attach to files and programs to spread without permission and can damage systems. Trojans also spread unwittingly but allow hackers to access and control infected devices. Worms multiply to use up memory and resources. Spyware collects personal information without consent. Users can protect against malware through antivirus software, firewalls, safe computing habits like avoiding suspicious downloads and emails, and using strong passwords.
Presentation on iOS
The document presents information on iOS, the operating system developed by Apple for its iDevices. It discusses the history of iOS, noting it was derived from OSX and developed by Apple. It provides screenshots and describes key features of iOS like the App Store, Safari browser, ability to update iOS wirelessly, support of Retina display, use of iCloud for backups, security features, and international compatibility.
