Smartphones backdoor using AT command allowing full control via USB cable

See, that's interesting, because full control via USB cable is actually something I want and for which there seems to be no elegant solution.

Kinda like the inverse of shazow's observation, "Sometimes I worry the NSA might be spying on me through my desktop's webcam. Then I remember it's Linux and even I can't get it to work."

I used a title that better reflects the story than the original one.

More details, paper and video demo available on https://atcommands.org/.

I looked at atcommands.org, saw no mention of iPhones. Am I correct in assuming that iPhones don't suffer from this vulnerability?

The article says that they have AT commands also.

On the topic of flashing unsigned fw: could this used to root a phone that otherwise could not be?

The Hayes command set still lives on? Wow.
