Hack attack: How Siri or Google Now can hear silent commands from 16 feet away!

You might not want to keep your wired headphones plugged into your iPhone or Android handset. The wires act as an antenna and with the right equipment, hackers can take advantage of that.

Shh.... Hear that? It's the sound of silence.

And that's why you won't know if a hacker is controlling your phone via Siri or Google Now through radio waves.

Wired reports that a group of researchers at France's government information security group found a way to silently send commands to nearby iOS and Android smartphones. I wouldn't panic just yet because the tools they needed are a full laptop and antenna but the team says their kit could fit into a backpack and you'd never know.

With the open source GNU Radio software on a laptop, electromagnetic signals can be sent to those devices. Depending on the sent command, Siri or Google Now can told to open up a website, send a text, place a call or do any other number of things.The attacking method uses connected headphones in an iPhone or Android handset to act as a receiving antenna; similar to how FM radio chips do so inside mobile devices.

Granted, most handset owners don't have wired headphones plugged into them when not in use. And if someone was remotely sending silent "voice" commands to your phone, you'd likely see what's going on; the hack doesn't disable the handset's display.

Even so, it's a concerning proof of concept that both Google and Apple should consider researching and finding a way to close the door on any potential unwanted access. The researchers say they have shared their information with both companies.

In a demonstration of the remote control, the researchers were about six feet from a phone. They say that with more battery power and a stronger antenna, the exploit could occur in up to a 16 foot range. The equipment to do so wouldn't be as portable, however.

How to Jailbreak iOS 9

   How to Jailbreak iOS 9.

Jailbreaking is a common thing among iOS users. Now that iOS 9 has been released, it is unsurprising that there is already a jailbreak available. You can follow this guide to jailbreak your iPhone, iPad or iPod.

You must be running iOS 9, 9.0.1, or 9.0.2, and must have a Windows PC (or be running Windows on your Mac) to run the Pangu jailbreak utility. Because the jailbreak has only recently come out, you should remember that there are bugs that will come along with it. You can jailbreak your device by following these steps:

Step 1: Plug your iDevice into your computer, open iTunes and make a backup of your device. Make sure your backup is unencrypted or else you will run into an error later on.

Step 2: Go to Settings – iCloud, and disable Find My iPhone.

Step 3: Go to Settings – Passcode and Touch ID, and disable your Passcode and Touch ID.

Step 4: Turn off WiFi and enable Airplane mode.

Step 5: On your computer, go to www.Pangu.io and press download to download the Pangu jailbreak tool.

Step 6: Navigate to where you downloaded the program, right click the icon and press “Run as Administrator”, and agree to the prompt.

Step 7: Once Pangu recognizes your device, press Start then Already Backup.

Step 8: Let the tool do its thing, once your device reboots, unlock it and put it in airplane mode again.

Step 9: Once it appears, click the Pangu app on your phone, and when it asks you, allow access to your photos. The jailbreak takes advantage of an exploit in the photos.

Step 10: When your device reboots again, turn off Airplane Mode and make sure WiFi is turned on. Open the Cydia app, and let it do its thing.

And there you go, you now have a jailbroken iOS device! Remember that if you ever want to un-jailbreak your device for whatever reason, just restore with iTunes. Since it’s still early on, most jailbreak tweaks probably haven’t been updated for iOS 9 support. Comment below what your favorite jailbreak tweak is!
