The story (can skip :p):
Almost a month ago a disturbing idea came to my mind: to have some of the good and obscure tools from BackTrack Linux on my Motorola a1200i cellphone. As most of you might have come to imagine, I was inspired by NeoPwn project. Lucky me, this cellphone’s software stack is based on a GNU/Linux distribution, sitting there waiting to be turned into a powerfull hacking tool by some mad guy XD.
It runs Montavista Linux Consumer Electronics Edition 3.1, but heavily cut down and hacked by Motorola (some propertary modules, a custom implementation of selinux, their own implementation of 3GPP, kernel-based forced DNS resolution through GPRS device, etc) as far as I’ve been able to investigate (more info at OpenEZX). Certainly is not the best scenario to start working. Well, despite most out there try to start from scratch with a new, free, and more updated base system, I want to work in the very same original environment for two good reazons: 1) It is the only cellphone I have and I need it to work properly, and 2) I like the default apps and its graphical interface (yes, I care a shit it’s not free enough, I’m not RMS’s bitch :p).
