[QUOTE="Azazel, post: 1076285, member: 101396"] In a home wifi or public wifi, your phone is exposed by open ports. An adversary can directly probe your devices for vulnerabilities and pentest you. There is no authorization or authentication for Lan and public networks and devices are explicitly trusted. There are protocols like UPnP that automatically broadcast your device through the network and make automatic connections. Websites that use https, protects your connection to that website but not your device especially if not up-to-date. Example see Wannacry and how it broabacates through networks using wormlike behavior exploiting vulnerabilities in SMBv1. [/QUOTE]
