“Internet of Things” security is hilariously broken and getting worse
The cameras are vulnerable because they use the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP, port 554) to share video but have no password authentication in place. The image feed is available to paid Shodan members at images.shodan.io. Free Shodan accounts can also search using the filter port:554 has_screenshot:true. Shodan crawls the Internet at random looking for IP addresses with open ports. If an open
Hacking tool swipes encrypted credentials from password manager
Using a password manager is one of the biggest ways that average computer users can keep their online accounts secure, but their protection is pretty much meaningless when an end user's computer is compromised. Underscoring this often ignored truism is a recently released hacking tool that silently decrypts all user names, passwords, and notes stored by the KeePass password manager and writes them
What we know and what we don’t know about accidents involving self-driving cars
This is Delphi's driving interface depicting the view of its self-driving car. Blue lines are map information, dots are points spotted by LiDAR, Xes are points spotted by radar. Crosswalks turn green when no pedestrians are in them. Recent investigations into the safety of self-driving cars have revealed that the vehicles are getting into accidents—but so far it seems that all of those accidents a
Cutting-edge hack gives super user status by exploiting DRAM weakness
Enlarge / DDR3 DIMMs like this one are susceptible to a hack known as "rowhammering," which alters the contents stored in computer memory. In one of more impressive hacks in recent memory, researchers have devised an attack that exploits physical weaknesses in certain types of DDR memory chips to elevate the system rights of untrusted users of Intel-compatible PCs running Linux. The technique, out
Protesters show up at the doorstep of Google self-driving car engineer
This image was distributed by the group Counterforce, protesting Google engineer Anthony Levandowski. Protests against tech giants and their impact on the San Francisco Bay Area economy just got personal. According to an anonymous submission on local news site Indybay, an unknown group of protesters targeted a Google engineer best known for helping to develop the company’s self-driving car. After
More researchers join RSA conference boycott to protest $10 million NSA deal
More security researchers are pulling out of next month's RSA security conference in protest of recent revelations that the event's namesake, EMC-owned subsidiary RSA, received $10 million to make an NSA-favored random number generator the default setting in its BSAFE crypto tool. By Tuesday afternoon, there were eight previously scheduled RSA participants who had publicly cancelled their engageme
NSA leaks blamed for Cisco’s falling sales overseas (updated)
Cisco executives recently announced declines in product orders in China, and have placed at least part of the blame on the National Security Agency. "In our Q1 earnings call of November 13th, we stated that product orders in China declined 18% in Q1 FY14, whereas in Q4 FY13, we referenced that our business in China had declined 6%," a Cisco spokesperson told Ars. "By comparison, China bookings wer
