Which of the following processes is supposed to install a modified set of kernel patches that allows users to run third-party applications not signed by the OS vendor? WarDriving Sandboxing Spear-Phishing JailBreaking
JailBreaking Explanation:Jailbreaking is defined as the process of installing a modified set of kernel patches that allows users to run third-party applications not signed by the OS vendor. It is the process of bypassing user limitations set by Apple, such as modifying the OS, attaining admin privileges, and installing unofficially approved apps via "side loading." You can accomplish jailbreaking simply by modifying iOS system kernels. A reason for jailbreaking iOS devices such as iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch is to expand the feature set restricted by Apple and its App Store. Jailbreaking provides root access to the OS and permits downloading of third-party applications, themes, and extensions that are unavailable through the official Apple App Store. Jailbreaking also removes sandbox restrictions, which enables malicious apps to access restricted mobile resources and information.

Which of the following processes allows Android users to attain privileged control within Android's subsystem? Jailbreaking Wardriving Warchalking Rooting
Rooting Explanation: Data Caching: An OS cache stores used data/information in memory on temporary basis in the hard disk. An attacker can dump this memory by rebooting the victim's computer to a malicious OS and can extract sensitive data from the dumped memory. Wardriving: In a wardriving attack, wireless LANS are detected either by sending probe requests over a connection or by listening to web beacons. An attacker who discovers a penetration point can launch further attacks on the LAN. Rooting: Rooting allows Android users to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's subsystem. Rooting can result in the exposure of sensitive data stored in the mobile device. WarChalking: A method used to draw symbols in public places to advertise open WiFi networks.
