In this short blog post, I will present to you why the alphanumeric password is much more secure than using biometrics. At my home, as a total n00b, I was able to clone my finger that bypassed TouchID. To be honest in my case, effectiveness was about 10%-15% - but like I wrote before, it was my first time, and I didn’t have any professional tools. Before I start, I want to credit Łukasz Bobrek & Paweł Kuryłowicz from SecuRing that showed me their research.

Not so long time ago, I submitted my presentation proposal on CONFidence’s Call For Papers. CONFidence is one of the best European IT Sec conferences that I love to attend due to very good presentations quality and hackish^H^H atmosphere ;-) This year I decided to actively attend as a speaker with my presentation about pentesting iOS apps using jailed iDevice. I sent my proposal, and when I received the approval, I visited the conference’s website in order to check if I’m included in the speakers list for sure (in SecuRing it’s common to prank your colleagues like for instance sending emails from the fake server, haha).
