MISSION MPOSSIBLE

MISSION MPOSSIBLE

Mobile Point-of-Sale (mPOS) systems allow small businesses and drug dealers to accept credit card payments using their favourite iDevice (Disclaimer: other mobile devices are available). During our research, we had a look at the security of the leading solutions for mobile Chip&Pin payments. If you saw our previous PinPadPwn research, you won't be surprised to hear we discovered a series of vulnerabilities which allow us to gain code execution on these devices through each of the available input vectors. We will discuss the weaknesses of current solutions and have live demonstrations for multiple attack vectors, our favourite being a malicious credit card which drops a remote root shell on an embedded mPOS device.
