IoT

This week: I want all the firmware, its not just TP-Link, CVEs for malware, BLE and your health, faking your own death, serial ports, stealthy Linux malware, call this number, finding all the Wordpress plugin vulnerabilities!

Research by Orange Tsai into Apache HTTPD's architecture reveals several vulns, NCC Group shows techniques for hacking IoT devices with Sonos speakers, finding use cases for WebAssembly, Slack's AI leaks data, DARPA wants a future of Rust, and more!

IoT devices are notorious for weak designs, insecure implementations, and a lifecycle that mostly ignores patching. We look at external factors that might lead to change, like the FCC's cybersecurity labeling for IoT. We explore the constraints that often influence poor security on these devices, whether those constraints are as consequential given...

This week: YAVD: Yet Another Vulnerable Driver, why bring your own when one already exists, backdoors in MIFARE Classic, wireless hacking tips, AMD sinkclose vulnerability will keep running, you down with SLDP yea you know me, Phrack!, IoTGoats, Pixel vulnerabilities, leaking variables, a DEF CON talk that was not cancelled, Telnet is still a thing...

This week: Option ROMS are a novel way to compromise a system at the lowest level, Sinkclose opens AMD processors up to attacks, at home in your firmware exploiting SMM complete with examples, Sonos speakers get hacked and enable attackers to listen in on your conversations, DEF CON badges use new chips and are not without controversy, lasers that...

Water and wastewater systems were particularly vulnerable to attacks leveraging internet-exposed ICS, with exploitation possible in almost 50% of human-machine interfaces used by such systems even without authentication.

This week, Downgrade attacks, bootloader fun, check your firmware before you wreck your firmware, you've got mail server issues, Ivanti is the new Rhianna, you should update your BIOS, Openwrt dominates, and attacking the security tools for fun and profit!

"The United States and like-minded nations will explore options for advancing affirmative cybersecurity standards and coordinating other possible policy measures to mitigate risks," said the U.S. State Department in a statement regarding the meeting, which did not specify attendance by automakers.
