johnbjr Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Is it possible to capture textplus messages from the iphone app while its using wifi with the Mark IV or will they be encrypted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 It's Apple. My guess would be encrypted. But you should be able to test and find out given you have an iPhone/iPod Touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I think it depends on the program - not on apple. You would have to find out what type of traffic is being sent back and forth by the app. If it is encrypted you are out of luck. If not, there may be some capturing possible.

mubix Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Easiest way is to use Brup proxy to man in the middle all web traffic. Here are some tutorials how: http://carnal0wnage.attackresearch.com/2010/11/iphone-burp.html http://portswigger.net/burp/help/proxy_options_installingcacert.html#iphone You can check in side SSL with that setup. If it's not web and it's using some other protocol you may be out of luck, but good chance that it's using HTTP or HTTPS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 If you do check make sure you report back and let us know what you find. Seb, I would have thought it was the protocol rather than the program, if the protocol specifies that it is encrypted then it has to be. As this is Apples baby then I would have thought they would have put some effort into protecting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As this is Apples baby then I would have thought they would have put some effort into protecting it. I didn't mean it that way. I meant the type of connection is up to the app (or at least the developer). I meant that Apple doesn't force you to use encrypted protocols. But, you are of course right, it depends on the protocol. I wasn't aware that it was Apple's baby - I would assume it is encrypted and protected well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Hopefully when it was designed they specified that all communication had to be done securely, whether that was built into the protocol design or whether it was added by something like HTTPS. What you don't want is for them to say that it is like the web, the server side can chose whether they are offering secure or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbjr Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Thank you. I had orderd the Mark IV a few days ago so I should have it soon. Textplus isnt made by apple its a third party app which is for the Apple iOS and android. I will try it out when I get it and let you all know. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I thought it was the Apple SMS over wifi thing, that must be something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbjr Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Apple does have iChat which I would like to test out also with this but textplus allows users to text to a cell phone or make and recieve calls from a data connection. It also works on ipods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
