PSP hacked into something more useful


PSP hacked into something more useful 04/06/2005 06:17 PM
Apparently 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 for...

Hacked for Spam


Hacked for Spam 12/08/2003 11:18 PM

From 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.

Is It Illegal To Get Hacked?


Is It Illegal To Get Hacked? 04/21/2004 03:53 PM
Tower 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.

E-Voting Firm Hacked 12/29/2003 02:58 PM
While lots of people have pointed out the risks of electronic voting, now a story is coming out that one firm providing e-voting technology has been hacked. Of course, it sounds like the break-in was on their corporate network, and not of the voting system itself, but this is the sort of thing that will make people think twice about trusting electronic voting systems. In fact, the company thinks that the break-in may have been motivated by political reasons.

Acxiom Database Hacked Again... And
Again... And Again...
07/21/2004 08:22 PM
Acxiom 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."

Living La Vida Broadband


Living La Vida Broadband 07/15/2004 11:51 AM
Admittedly, it's an article with just a few anecdotal stories, but the NY Times is trying to get a feel for how broadband changes many people's lives. Basically, the story suggests that broadband becomes like a utility that people who have it come to rely on completely. There's one story of a family who found the perfect home they wanted to buy, but when they found out there was no broadband service in the area yet, it became a deal breaker. Of course, if the Times really wanted to see what happens when broadband becomes a utility, they should be looking at South Korea and Japan. Even if they only looked in the most heavily broadband saturated American cities, we're still way behind a few other countries that have made a much bigger effort to push broadband adoption.
