No iOS Zone, the vulnerability that enables DoS attacks on Apple devices

This week, San Francisco has been playing host to the RSA Conference, one of the most important international security conferences. A lot of research has been made public and we will no doubt hear about the most interesting aspects (if we haven’t already) over the next few weeks.

Research relating to smartphones and other mobile devices always generates a lot of expectations, and in this respect, the RSAC is no exception. Two researchers surprised people by demonstrating how they could carry out a denial of service (DoS) attack oniOS devices, the sole requirement being for the devices to be situated close to a specially prepared Wi-Fi access point. Let’s take a closer look at the vulnerability named No iOS Zone.
