Virus Via SMS?

[lorwin04]

Pwede Po Ba Magpasa Ng Virus Using SMS Lang?

Thenks In Advance!

this is possible pero depende pa rin sa model ng cellphone.. thru bluetooth ang popular since no cost.. i doubt na may magsasabi sayo dito sa elab kung panu gawin un kung meron mang nakakaalam

pwede yun, kaya lng masyadong kumplikado... lalabas na message cya sa phone mo pero pagbinuksan mo ang message, yun ang mgtitrigger na mg run ang virus tas hang na cp mo... reformat mo na, sa mga matatas na klasi ng phone, ngtatago ito sa mga folder tas pg nag. email ka mag.aattach cla para makalipat sa iba...
kaya kumplikado....

Before we proceed any further, some definitions:

Virus - a software that has the ability to replicate itself and infect another system without the informed consent or knowledge of the user.

Trojan - is a type of malicious software that appears to have a normal function but actually conceals functions that it performs without authorized access to the host system.

By design, an SMS is not capable of carrying a binary program. Therefore it is impossible to distribute viruses or trojans through it. If you send objects via bluetooth of your mobile phone, you are not sending them as SMS, and is a different matter altogether.

Perhaps the closest thing to having your desired effect (i.e. mischief) would be sending malformed SMS (and/or WAP PUSH  messages) to trigger an identified vulnerability of a specific model. This may result in a crash, a reboot or a state of DoS. However, this still isn't a virus and considered a shot in the dark as there are too many brands and models out there and most are not likely to have the specific vulnerability you're after, unless you are targeting a specific user with a known phone model/firmware.

If you're interested in mobile malware, look into smartphones: Symbian, IOS, RIM and Android.
