      The official #Aadhaar #android app is sending an SMS to authenticate the user. In general, to avoid abuses, you add a sending rate limit. The user has to wait 2 minutes before resend the SMS. @UIDAI did not implement this kind of limit in the app. What are the consequences?

      An attacker can extract the authentication HTTPS request made by the official #Aadhaar #android app. After that he just has to write a small script which will try all the possible #Aadhaar numbers.

      The attacker will be able to flood the all #India population and @UIDAI will lose a lot of money. .@UDAI don't be stupid, remove the official #Aadhaar #android app from the PlayStore, this is the best move you have.

          Did you confirm their sms platform is not doing the ratelimiting after a few attempts ? Because app/client-sided limitation rhymes with bypass and I wouldn't rely on it either 😇

          Yes, I was able to test it few days ago. Now, the all service seems to be down. As they can't update the app, this is the only solution.

          As u know I recommend to #DestroyTheAadhaar ASAP not just remove a petty little app with less 1-5 million downloads in a population of billion+ where 50% don't even have a basic phone. But in spirit of learning, scientific spirit and some critique I do try to follow what u say.

          So do help me grasp this one, which I have some problems understanding what you are trying to say. I'll try to break down my confusion into specific questions:

          1) I can understand that Aadhaar app is trying to send an OTP for auth, because that's a parameter of authentication as well as eKYC API, but non-mandatory (that's terrible) as far as I understand. Do you mean OTP it sends is an SMS it first receives or does it send own TOTP?

          I guess what he is trying to say is that a built in limit for the number of SMS retries the App would make before timing out as a security measure.

          This is not flaw. This was basically designed in such a way that even a beginner could hack it... When everyone will have everything, there won't be no more hacking. Exploitation of data will result in a banana [dont ask me how] and @UIDAI will start selling banana.pic.twitter.com/M64JeE5zUx

          @ShashiTharoor this is a very genuine security concern that both the government and media choose to ignore... I hope you can help voice this. The implications of this vulnerability is huge and potential risks the personal details of every Indian.
