Crackers Are Faster Than You
Crackers Are Faster Than You
08/18/2004 02:49 PMHere's a scary statistic that I hadn't considered before: SANS keeps a graph of
the amount of time you can have an unprotected PC on the Internet
before you get some kind of exploit probe. Since last year, this time
has gone from 40-60 minutes down to around 20-30 minutes, which is
less time than you usually need to download your service packs and
patches for a new install.
The average time between probes will vary widely from
network to network. Some of our submitters subscribe to ISPs which
block ports commonly used by worms. As a result, these submitters
report a much longer 'survival time'. On the other hand, University
Networks and users of high speed internet services are frequently
targeted with additional scans from malware like bots. If you are
connected to such a network, your 'survival time' will be much
smaller.
SANS includes a link to a PDF entitled 'Windows XP: Surviving the
First Day'. As always, a $60 broadband router/firewall box will deal
with most of these problems for you.

Lowe's Crackers Get Nine and Two Years
Lowe's Crackers Get Nine and Two Years
12/19/2004 03:18 PM Woe be to the highly unsuccessful cracker manques: The fellow who was
deemed to have the most responsibility in a quartet that all pleaded
guilty was sentenced yesterday to nine years in jail for his role in
using a poorly secured Wi-Fi network run by Lowe's to insert
credit-card grabbing software into their systems. The judge reduced
the potential longer sentence because Brian Salcedo provided
information to Lowe's on security problems on their network. Salcedo
accomplice Adam Botbyl pleaded guilty to lesser charges and was
sentenced today to more than two years in federal prison, somewhat
less than expected. Paul Timmins pleaded to a misdemeanor. The article
notes he was charged with wardriving, but that's incorrect: wardriving
is generally passive. Timmins accessed the network, checking email
according to his plea. The reporter writes, In wardriving, hackers
search for vulnerable wireless Internet connections. But that's a
subset of all wardrivers. Most wardrivers pursue Wi-Fi networks like
birders pursue birds; they aren't searching per se for vulnerable
networks. Kevin Mitnick was only sentenced to five years, but
prosecutors in the Mitnick case demonized him in order to make the
case seem larger. He didn't do anything admirable, but he revealed the
massive security flaws in many companies social and technical
infrastructure. His actual damages--the cost to repair what he did as
opposed to the costs to properly secure their own systems--were very
small. Another colleague of mine spent several years under probation
for proving to Intel when he was a contractor that their password
choices were bad. He didn't have their permission nor did he have any
intent, but they decided to have him charged. He was obliged to pay
the costs of their fixing a problem that he was demonstrating that
they needed to fix. In this case, prosecutors estimated that $2.5
million in damages would have been caused if Lowe's didn't uncover the
inserted software on their network. The Wi-Fi access wasn't really the
point in the case at all, just their means of detected entry....

Hapless Wi-Fi Crackers Head to Pokey
06/07/2004 07:00 PMCrackers who break into Lowe's over-exposed Wi-Fi network start
pleading: The first two members of a three-man ring have agreed to
plea bargains in a case that revealed how poor Lowe's external
wireless LAN security was. While there's no excuse for cracking,
Lowe's network allowed them to gain access at several locations, at
which point these three allegedly (two have stipulated, one is still
alleged) installed credit-card capturing software among other acts.
Lowe's security team noticed the activity, monitored it, and worked
with police to stage the arrests. Sentencing is yet to come, and the
third man will be arraigned later this month. Interestingly, the plea
bargain includes their cooperation in explaining what they did. That's
surely not useful at this point: eight months after the attacks, you
have to hope that Lowe's has completely overhauled every element of
their external-facing systems and intrusion detection monitoring....

AirDefense Finds Wi-Fi Planet Riddled
with Insecure Users, Crackers
06/10/2004 04:05 PMAirDefense monitors traffic as a sponsor at trade show and produces
its regular report of horrors: In a press release not yet posted at
its site, AirDefense said that in the most recent Wi-Fi Planet
conference run by Jupitermedia, which concluded today in Baltimore,
they found instances running of new cracker tools. The intrusion
monitoring company noted eight devices running Hotspotter, eight
running Airsnarf, and 12 soft APs. (They didn't note whether other
intrusion monitoring firms might have been running any instances of
these packages to demonstrate the flaws, however.) Hotspotter uses a
Windows XP (pre-service pack 1, apparently) flaw that allows it to
force a Windows XP client to reassociate with a laptop running
Hotspotter to scan the computer. Soft APs are access points running on
a laptop that can be used to the same effect simply by using names
identical to existing networks. Airsnarf automates password extraction
on networks to which a computer is connected. The company also found a
small host of MAC address spoofs, invalid MAC addresses, and ad hoc
networks, while witnessing several denial of service attacks. There
was also plenty of unsecured traffic running over the Wi-Fi network
among what should have been a fairly sophisticated user base....

12/06/2003 03:20 PMA weekend without my beautiful Powerbook means lots of time to sort
out my disasterous financial / bill-paying / mounds of paper
situation. This - in turn - means that some forms of music television
have become an essential part of my life. Which means in turn that I'm
being exposed to what seems to me to be a ludicrous excess of
Christmas singles. Like dozens of them! Way more than normal.
The other day I wrote about the The Darkness' effort but it's far
far far from alone. Check out this highly inexhaustive list:
And that's just the ones with explicitly Christmas themes (and
doesn't include blatant Christmas-mongering attempts like the
Ozzy/Kelly Osbourne atrocity). So I wonder to myself? Why is this
Christmas so poptastic? Is there some kind of correlation between the
perceived redundancy of the music industry and a prevalence of these
cheesy singles? Or does it correlate to anxiety about the state of the
world? Or is it a sign of complacency? Or are we all just incredibly
naff? Thoughts on a postcard please (and let me know if I've missed
any of the little bastards)...

12/06/2003 06:42 PMThis may sound like a bit of an advert, but frankly I don't care.
You have to be able to express joy in the things you like - I think -
whether they be commercial or not. Only let me say that I have
received no money or free merchandising for the following glowing
endorsement. None at all. Not even the tiniest sliver of perfectly
ripe brie...
Every year shortly before Christmas I pop into Neal's Yard Dairy and get
a selection of cheeses to take up to my family in Norfolk. It's become
a bit of a ritual. There's something really primal and satisfying
about bringing food back for a significant meal - particularly one so
associated with the winter solstice and the rebirth of the sun (oh and
all that Christian stuff I guess). So to do my part, I go into Covent
Garden's most well-stocked and sensually stimulating shop, sample a
dozen cheeses (they'll let you try everything)
and then buy a representative sample.
This sounds more like an advert than I'd feared, but let me
continue anyway... The wonderful staff will recommend the Stilton
that'll be at its best at exactly the right time, they'll tell you how
to store your cheese (FYI: in a cellar or on a window-ledge - not in
the fridge because it'll dry it out) and they'll even label each
perfectly paper-wrapped block of cheese you buy - so that you can
order them again or look them up later in your favourite cheese tome
(I bought my father a book of cheese so that he can investigate the
whole issue in more detail - I believe it's been a tremendous
success). In a nutshell - it's one of the most pleasant experiences of
my year and I heartily recommend it. Plug over. Well, nearly...
It occurs to me that this is an ideal topic for a random poll, so

Speaking of French cheese
Speaking of French cheese
04/09/2005 07:53 AMAccording to this article, French mobilise to save cheeses under
threat of extinction France is losing cheeses as producers are dying
and taking their cheese making secrets to the grave.
A worrisome trend is looming in this country of cheese-lovers, where
the nation's rich palette of 1,000 cheeses is being nibbled away at
with the annual demise of several varieties..."The Mont-d'Or galette,
which had been produced for some 400 years, disappeared this summer
following the death of the last producer who knew the secret of how to
make it."
That does sound worrisome. What's also worrisome is the reference in
this article to "National Cheese Day" on "Friday." Did I just miss
National Cheese Day?!?! Why weren't there big cheese posters
everywhere telling me about this? Sure, they take the time to hang a
giant neon sign for the Olympics on the Hôtel de Ville, but why
not a giant poster of Brique de Brebis? No wonder a disastrous cheese
extinction looms!
