While the list of IP address ranges is interesting, there's no evidence provided that Microsoft OSes allow 'backdooring,' are the researchers planning on providing any? -----Original Message----- From: Juha-Matti Laurio [mailto:juha-matti.laurio@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2007 2:16 PM To: bugtraq@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Cryptome: NSA has access to Windows Mobile smartphones A widely known Web site Cryptome has released information about backdooring Microsoft Windows machines today. According to the post National Security Agency has access both stand-alone systems and networks running Microsoft products. The post states the following: "This includes wireless wiretapping of "smart phones" running Microsoft Mobile. Microsoft remote administrative privileges allow "backdooring" into Microsoft operating systems via IP/TCP ports 1024 through 1030." According to the Cryptome's source this is typically triggered when devices visit Microsoft Update servers.
