Abstract
Mobile devices represent a unique attack vector for a threat actor. They have accounts and credentials, but no role-based access, and there are generally only two permission types: user and root. In addition, root is generally not available to the end user, and there is only one account with a single owner and identity operating the device. These are simple facts regarding mobile device design.
