Does anyone know of good Android exploit development / vulnerability discovery tutorials, guides, or other resources?

under which conditions a mobile app on android would not be able to access host devices imei?

Where target SDK is above 4 and the app doesn't have the READ_PHONE_STATE permission. I'm sure in most cases you could get it via a lovely IPC or poorly stored data elsewhere though.

Are you using the IMEI as a unique identifier for each device? You're not really supposed to do that, but all the alternatives kind of suck.

There are heaps of weird Android devices that don't have an IMEI as well. So you would need an alternative or to just declare that you don't support those.

I don't recommend academic research or getting a PhD. Source: was a lecturer for ten years, have a PhD, have published 50+ papers.

Consulting is way better. Do OSCP and get a job hacking poo poo.

God I wish I could read like I used to. College absolutely obliterated my desire to read recreationally and it's only been the past year or so that I've been able to consistently do it.

You and me both. It's two years since I finished my PhD. I still can't put a dent in a novel. I really hope this gets better.

They do. They have internal teams as well as teams of consultants working on finding this poo poo 24/7.

The bounty programmes are just there to soak up anyone who has bugs to sell.

It's a pretty sweet deal, it's like one of those "pay what you feel" resteraunts, except nobody feels guilty about not paying.

I've left my previous employer and I'm at a new place now, sadly the short domain name I used to use for XSS stuff belonged to them, so I'm in need of a new one.

Does anyone know of a service like https://catechgory.com/ that actually works?

How have there been so few hilarious security fuckups lately? It's been really disappointing.

Fingers crossed that things get fun again sometime soon. For the first time in forever I've found pentesting to be a grind :(

NBNco hosed up a national project by developing some esoteric custom hardware that had multiple data connections (but a 1000/1000 limit on the PHY)

I thought it was 1000/400? That's at least the most anyone will sell me without going to EE - which requires a new fibre run.
