The basic operation of how the majority of mobile devices connect to networks leaves them open to “Karma-like” attacks says security researcher

UK Google Android, Apple iOS, BlackBerry, and Windows Mobile devices have an inherent security weakness in the method they use for connecting to Wi-Fi networks that has the potential for exploitation by skilled cyber-attackers says Raul Siles, a highly respected security expert and SANS Instructor.

The vulnerability is dependent on how the network is added to the device and stems from the procedure where Mobile devices keep a list of manually configured wireless networks plus any networks it has previously connected to on a Preferred Network List (PNL). Every time the Wi-Fi interface is switched on, and on a periodic basis, the device checks through 802.11 probe requests what networks on its PNL are available in the current location. Based on the responses obtained, it tries to connect to the most preferred network.
