04/13/2004 10:28 PMDoS Attack Nothing New
DoS Attack Nothing New
05/18/2004 01:14 PMSome WLAN security experts say that the reaction to a type of denial
of service (DoS) attack recently described by Queensland University
researchers is severe: "This is new only in a small incremental
sense," said Rich Mironov, vice president of marketing for AirMagnet.
"This is one new flavor or variation of the DoS attack." The report
from Australia has been widely described as a dramatic new security
fault inherent in the 802.11b standard. Some reports have included
recommendations to stop using 802.11b networks altogether. The attack
appears to have no real effect on 802.11a or 802.11g-only networks
which employ a different signal encoding method than 802.11b. But some
say the attack isn't new at all. Richard Rushing, chief security
officer for AirDefense, says this new report looks exactly like
findings presented by University of San Diego researchers at a UseNix
conference last August. The buzz around the recent report from
Queensland just happens to be better publicized, he said. Neither
Mironov nor Rushing expect the form of attacks to be particularly
threatening. The attack can be performed with an off-the-shelf PC card
but the card's firmware must be modified using a driver that may or
may not become public. "It's probably going to come out, but it's not
necessarily going to propagate," said Rushing. Even if it does get
widely circulated, the attacks themselves will be limited to the APs
in range of the altered PC card. "It's not like the whole network
crashes. It's the one or two or three APs nearby that are crashing,"
Mironov said. AirMagnet's current product looks for 16 other distinct
DoS attacks and will soon identify this type of attack. When its
network sensors pick up on the attack, an alarm is sent to a network
administrator. An IT manager can then use a handheld device to locate
the source of the attack to shut it down. AirMagnet expects to be able
to distribute an update that will identify this specific attack in
about a week, Mironov said. Key to identifying such attacks are
sensors that are separate from the APs, Rushing said. "If I'm using
the AP to get my monitoring information I won't see anything. I'll
just see that nothing is connecting to the AP," he said. But a
separate sensor would see the signals sent from the hacker's device.
Mironov says this new attack is not a reason to shy from...

06/09/2004 10:33 PMOn June 15, a federal grand jury will convene in upstate New York
to consider possible bioterrorism charges against University at
Buffalo art professor Steve Kurtz and the Critical Art Ensemble, an
internationally-known hactivist collective. From the CAE Defense Fund
Web site:
"Early morning of May 11, Steve Kurtz awoke to find his
wife, Hope, dead of a cardiac arrest. Kurtz called 911. The police
arrived and, after stumbling across test tubes and petri dishes Kurtz
was using in a current artwork, called in the Joint Terrorism Task
Force.
Soon agents from the Task Force and FBI detained Kurtz, cordoned off
the entire block around his house, and later impounded Kurtz's
computers, manuscripts, books, equipment, and even his wife's body for
further analysis. The Buffalo Health Department condemned the house as
a health risk.
Only after the Commissioner of Public Health for New York State had
tested samples from the home and announced there was no public safety
threat was Kurtz able to return home and recover his wife's body. Yet
the FBI would not release the impounded materials, which included
artwork for an upcoming exhibition at the Massachusetts Museum of
Contemporary Art."
This Washington Post
article provides more background on the bizarre
turn-of-events. Protests at the Court House in Buffalo and in other
major cities are planned.

« Jarkko holds our eagerly awaited new baby. :) An entire
gallery filled with adorable Saint
Bernard puppies. »
We took a trip to southern Sweden this weekend to visit the litter of
puppies we liked and to pick one along with the usual things you look
at when selecting a breeder. The breeders, Lasse and Sussi, asked us
to stay at their house and were really terrific people. As soon as we
saw those 9 adorable little furry faces looking up at us any doubt we
might have had disappeared. Of course, 9 puppies who are 7 weeks old
and who are just getting their teeth in along with the teething that
goes with them are dangerous creatures to everything within range of
their mouths. :) We spent a few hours getting to know the furry piraņa
and decided on the puppy we liked originally from the pictures. We
haven't picked a name for him yet, we'll just have to see what comes
to us as a fitting name.
We have to wait until the first week of January to bring him home
because of the EU regulations, in spite of Sweden being a rabies-free
country, requiring that the puppy have a rabies vaccination before
entering Finland. So, we must wait 5 long weeks until we can bring him
home so he can fill the house with hair, drool, chew toys and all
those familiar St. Bernard sounds that we miss so much. :) Happiness
is a warm, fuzzy puppy.
