About this app

WAP Push Remote Modem Crash (PoC) Proof-of-concept Android app that sends a crafted 8-byte WAP Push PDU over SMS to a target handset. The malformed PDU triggers a NegativeArraySizeException in WapPushOverSms.decodeWapPdu, which goes uncaught in InboundSmsHandler and kills com.android.phone on the receiving device — dropping any active call, including emergency calls, with no interaction from the victim.

Full writeup: https://smsofdeath.com/

Use Install on a sender device, enter (or auto-fill from an active SIM) the target number, pick the sending SIM, and tap SEND CRASH SMS. Observe on the target:

adb logcat | grep -E 'NegativeArraySize|WapPushOverSms|com.android.phone' Expected: FATAL EXCEPTION in com.android.phone within ~1–2s and a PID change for that process, with a brief loss of signal.

minSdk 30, targetSdk/compileSdk 35. Requires SEND_SMS, READ_PHONE_NUMBERS, READ_PHONE_STATE. Disclaimer For authorized security research and testing on devices you own or have explicit permission to test. Do not use against systems or people without consent.
