[ BREIFING ]

Overview:
The PalmOS is the perfect platform for hacking tools and hacking in general. I believe the security, networking, hacking, & programming potential of handhelds are far under-rated. This is not even taking into account the huge open-source factor. Fyodor (the writer and maintainer of the nmap security scanner) was quoted saying... "Nothing beats doing penetration tests from the beach using a Palm and Ricochet packet modem (or other wireless device)".

Also keep in mind that Palm devices have many other advantages: small, economical, easy to conceal, and can be taken anywhere. Here are some of the tools available...



[ TOOLS ]


Terminal: Emulation protocol/software that lets a user log in remotely to other computers or devics on the Internet; it has a command line interface. Telnet runs on top of the TCP/IP protocol...

ptelnet is a powerful communication software for the Palm Computing platform. By using the built-in TCP/IP stack (telnet mode), it acts as a Telnet Client.

Password Cracking:
PalmCrack w/ Wordlist tries to crack a single encrypted UNIX (standard UNIX passwords based on the crypt() function, not FreeBSD-type), Cisco (Cisco Type 7, not Type 5 MD5 hashes), or Windows NT (NT LANMAN password hashes, not the NT challenge response MD4 hashes) password. If a wordlist database is found, it tries to crack the password against the entries in this wordlist. The better the wordlist, the better the ability for the program to crack a password. A brute force crack is attempted next (if requested by the user) if the password wasn't found using the wordlist.
http://www.noncon.org/noncon/product_info.html

Want to create your own custom dictionary? A "pc.pdb" file can be made with the perl program pcmwdb (PalmCrack Make Wordlist DataBase).

Password generator programs... I was raised NEVER to trust them unless it's RSA SecurID or unless it's generated automatically by the application/website/device your want access to. The reason this should be practiced because of backdoors due to the generator algorithms (either intentional or not). So don't use third-party password generators!

Coding:
OnBoard C is a C/C++ compiler that runs on and creates executables for the Palm OS. OnBoard C creates stand-alone, fully-fledged PRCs -- there's no need for run time libraries or any other software to run an executable created by OnBoard C.
http://onboardc.sourceforge.net/

The OnBoard Suite is a C-language development environment that runs on and builds code for, the Palm handheld platform. The OnBoard Suite is comprised of:

* the OnBoard Assembler,
* the SrcEdit programmer's editor, and
* the Sherpa porting tool.
The OnBoard C compiler creates a Palm executable or (at the programmer's option) a Hackmaster hack. You can beam your new program or hotsync it to another Palm if you like. It requires nothing but a Palm (w/ the Palm OS in ROM so your code can take advantage of the library that's there). It does not need a separate run-time library.

[ NOTES ]

Ping Requests:
My palm can be pinged from an a remote host when connected to a network. This means that detection is possible. With a Time-To-Live (TTL) of 255 it responds to ICMP requests. Port Scans: I then proceeded to TCP port scan my Tungsten C from port 1 to 36000 and as would one would guess all ports were close. I access Windows-based shares and mapped a drive using FilePoint on my Palm. After Port scanning it I was surprised to see that ports 137 to 139 were still closed.

Q: How do you block basic ICMP packets?
A: I really don’t know other than a finding a palm-based firewall, modifying the PalmOS, or coding your own. There aren’t that many companies that do Palm firewalls, one of those companies is Bluefire Security Technologies located at "http://www.bluefiresecurity.com/“.
