Hi

I'm interested in local root exploits and their mechanisms and I really like to make my own exploit for android OS.

I know it's very difficult and just a few people in the world could find ones.

BTW, is it possible to find bugs in OS or it's just by chance? If yes how should i start learning these stuffs?
And what skills or tools do i need?

I also know C and java well and familiar with Linux.

Thanks in advance

looks like we've got ourselves a script kiddie!

We are not going to help you find exploits in an OS, especially as you appear to have no idea how to do it. If you have to ask...

Please do not ask questions like this again.

If your interests happen not to be that of a "script kiddie," surf to places such as CERT ... a long-standing group at Carnegie-Mellon University which specifically researches computer vulnerabilities, and does so in a specifically open and public way. There is no "security through obscurity." The exact same process is used in the world of cryptography.

The entire world of "exploits" and so-forth is, in my opinion, highly overrated. (Although it does demonstrate how much mileage you can get out of a face-mask and good marketing.) "Everybody likes to fantasize about The Wild, Wild West, except for the bit about actually getting shot."

Oh, come on !!!

it's better to have positive view. it can helps Google to make his OS robust and makes users safe in the future.

So Please tell me where i can ask these kinds of questions ?

thank you for your replay sundialsvcs

A few thoughts:

@sundialsvcs: totally agree. More than "over-rated", I'd go as far as to call this sort of thing "boring." For several reasons. (1) OEMs shouldn't be locking down phones anyway, it's unethical and rude. (2) Black-hatting is a stupid waste of time driven by arrogance and hubris.

@OP: Find an Android forum. And for Christ's sake do a g* d*ned Google search.

@acid_kewpie: In the US, at least, root exploits are legal. So aside from being perhaps an unappealing topic, I don't think there's anything fundamentally wrong with the OP's inquiry.

jhwilliams, I think you are misunderstood.
Problem is not the locked phones, problem is SECURITY !!!
