Introduction & CCS’16 – Day 1 – 24th October 2016

I am Andrei Costin (at http://firmware.re project), and this is the first post from a series of guest postings courtesy of ERNW.

Between 24th and 28th October, I had the pleasure and the great opportunity to attend ACM CCS 2016 in Vienna, Austria, where I also presented at the TrustED’16 workshop my paper titled “Security of CCTV and Video Surveillance Systems: Threats, Vulnerabilities, Attacks, and Mitigations”.

My attendance throughout the entire ACM CCS 2016 week and my presentation at TrustED was possible thanks to generous support from Enno Rey and ERNW, and I thank them again for this opportunity!

In these guest postings I am going to summarize the talks I have attended, and will try to make you interested in exploring more on each of the mentioned papers. Continue reading “Introduction & CCS’16 – Day 1 – 24th October 2016”

How easy to grow robust botnet with low hanging fruits (IoT) – for free

Attila Marosi works as a Senior Threat Research at Sophos Labs in Hungary. His talk focused on vulnerable IoT devices that are exposed to the internet. His approach was to look for vulnerable devices with low cost tools and publicly available data.

He started his talk with the spoiler that he is not going to reveal any new attacks nor new techniques. But newer data are more adequate and we can see the current state of vulnerable devices connected to the internet. This means his approach was to test the state of IoT devices like Routers, NAS and so on with publicly available data.
