PSP hacked into something more useful
PSP hacked into something more useful
04/06/2005 06:17 PMApparently hackers have turned Sony's latest portable game player, the
PSP handheld, into a device for online chat, Web browsing, and a venue
for movies and music. Leave it to hackers who managed to add an online
chat function by hijacking a Web browser built into a racing game
called "Wipeout Pure." Once the hackers are able to change the PSP's
network settings, they can point the browser to a Web portal. There's
also a way for hackers to transfer TV programs recorded on the TiVo
service to the PSP player, a program for reading e-books, and a viewer

Is It Illegal To Get Hacked?
04/21/2004 03:53 PMTower Records and the FTC have apparently
reached a settlement
after the FTC accused them of allowing hackers to access customer
records. This brings up a very interesting question that isn't often
discussed. Since hack attacks to get at customer data happen
all
the time how does anyone determine whether or not the company
itself is negligent in not protecting the data? At what point is it
negligence rather than just being vulnerable? If the standard is set
too low, then companies have less incentive to protect their data
(though, pissed off customers may provide that incentive). However,
blaming the victim for being hacked seems to present a lot of slippery
slope style questions.

Hacked for Spam
Hacked for Spam
12/08/2003 11:18 PMFrom the New York
Times:
Computer security researchers have been watching the evolution of
remote-access rogue programs as they have become more common and have
put more machines under the control of hackers. Programs like Sinit
infect target machines and surreptitiously open back doors that allow
outsiders to control the PC's. The rings of infected computers have
been used to send spam, to present online advertisements for
pornographic Web sites or to trick people into giving up information
like credit card numbers.
In fact, at least a third of all spam circulating on the
Internet is now sent from or relayed by personal home computers that
have been taken over, said Jesse Dougherty, director of
development at Sophos, an antivirus and antispam company.
Emphasis mine. Of course, whether or not you want to believe a
director from a company that directly profits from people's fear of
security attacks is up to you. That said, I've seen plenty of
supporting evidence in the past few months that indicates that
spamming is now the number one reason that a cracker would want to
take over a PC, not least
this Wired article.
Continuing on the same theme, The Rise of the
Spammers is a fascinating article by David Barroso Berrueta
describing how one of his servers was turned in to a spam relay after
being compromised through a vulnerability in a PHP script. The technical details
are intriguing; the attacker downloaded and uncompressed a daemon
which then communicated with another host using an extended version of
the SMTP
protocol, receiving spam email bodies along with lists of addresses to
send the spam on to.
Let's talk about the PHP vulnerability in question: yet again, it
was the classic problem where an attacker can instruct PHP to download and
execute code from their own server by feeding in a query string
parameter that is passed un-checked to an include() function call. While there are a number
of steps that can be taken to deny this kind of attack, it unveils a
fundamental problem with PHP itself - that it will execute code
retrieved from a URL in the first place! This feature should be removed
from PHP - it
has almost no purpose in the real world aside from allowing servers to
be cracked in to. The feature exists because PHP has the extremely useful ability
to open
remote files over HTTP. Unfortunately, this feature extends to the
include() and require() functions which will execute any PHP code in the file
passed to the functions. The most obvious solution to my mind would be
for these functions to refuse to execute PHP in files that were opened via
HTTP. I have no
doubt that this would involve an ugly hack on behalf of PHP's maintainers, but I
believe the number of security problems it would solve would be well
worth the trade-off.
Incidentally, I know you can disable opening files over HTTP
and I know you shouldnt allow the direct creation of
variables from the query string in the first place. The problems here
are two-fold: firstly, opening files over HTTP is actually a very useful feature,
one that would be all the more useful if it didn't carry the risk of
executing arbitrary code. Secondly, the problem is mainly down to
third party software which often requires insecure PHP settings (such as
register_globals) in order to work.

Acxiom Database Hacked Again... And
Again... And Again...
07/21/2004 08:22 PMAcxiom is one of the nation's largest providers of direct marketing
(spam) lists, and the company can't seem to keep its databases safe
from hackers. Late last year a man was caught
copying
one of their databases. Now, in what appears to be a much bigger
case, authorities have
hacking into the database repeatedly over a year and a half to
retrieve names and personal info which he then sold for thousands
of dollars to spammers. "Information accessed included names,
addresses, e-mail addresses, customer demographics, and probably some
birth dates and Social Security numbers." They discovered the breach
soon after the first case, when they decided (what an idea) that it
might make sense to actually check to make sure their databases were
secure. And, of course, for those who are already in an Acxiom
database and worried about the implications and would like out of
their database, remember that they
make it
as difficult as possible to "opt out."
