Anti-Phishing Working Group Meeting
Anti-Phishing Working Group Meeting
04/09/2004 05:30 PM
I was out all day yesterday to attend the Anti-Phishing
Working Group meeting at Wells Fargo World HQ in San
Francisco. About one
hundred people from wide assortment of backgrounds were there, some
from law enforcement
agencies like the Secret Service and FBI, lawyers, prosecutors,
financial services,
e-tailers, solutions vendors, and security experts. APWG did
an impressive job
of pulling them altogether to focus on the phishing epidemic which
continues to grow.
While everyone wanted to pool resources to combat phishing, I
sensed a common desire
to protect details about ongoing APWG activities from the public
for various reasons.
Since I am not sure what APWG's policy is about blogging, I will
limit this post to
my thoughts and observations.
Toolbars
Warm receptions received by Account
Guard feature of eBay
Toolbar and Dan Boneh's SpoofGuard means
more toolbars in the near future. I predict we'll see about
ten security-related
toolbars released before this year is over. Since highly
integrated client-side
software like browser toolbars are one of my specialties, all this
is good news for
me but I couldn't help worrying about the oncoming glut of
toolbars, sidebars, and
deskbars causing confusion among users.
Microsoft
Microsoft needs to do more to combat phishing. Actually, they
need to do 'less'
by disabling or limiting use of hyperlinks and javascript in
Outlook and Hotmail.
Since phishing is causing real financial damages to companies and
individuals, Microsoft
created an arguably very large liability exposure by introducing
DHTML e-mail in Outlook.
My opinion is that hyperlinks in e-mail contents should require the
user to approve
each navigation after viewing a dialog that clearly indicate the
link destination.
This constraint can be eased depending on the age of the hyperlinks
because destination
phishing websites are more likely to be takendown or abandoned over
time. I
also think javascript should be disabled completely in e-mail
contents to protect
against new breed of javascript obfuscated webpages.
Hunters vs. Butchers
Law enforcement agencies are IMHO still in the hunter mode, meaning
hackers they find
and prosecute are more or less trophies for assuring the
public. Seen as services,
they are open to denial of service attacks by organized hackers
arming script-kiddies
to overload or slowdown cybercops. They need to think about
ways to shift-gear
from hunter to butchers mode now, if not just against
phishers, then for
homeland security.
Takedown.com
Most difficult part of fighting against phishing is taking down
phishing websites.
Differences and confusino in law and legal jurisdictions,
cross-language communication
issues, availability, authority verification problems, and other
issues make taking
down a fraud site a skill or an art of social networking,
ingenuity, and patience
which most companies do not have.
Solutions suggested so far like contacts and standards are useless
IMHO. A more
effective solution is to encourage entrepreneurs to startup
federated or franchised
businesses to offer takedown services around globe and around
the clock with the
local touch. Having middlemen like them solves most of
the issues mentioned
above.
Spoofback
Considering the difficulty with takedown, another options is to
'spoof back' by posting
phony information to the phishing websites in order to spoil the
goods by diluting
it with bad info. Instead of receiving 3,000 good responses,
phishers will receive
300,000 responses most of which will be bad. Another
variation is to post user
info leading to honeypots in order to phish the phishers. I
am not sure about
the legal issues, but hackback risk is no worse than the takedown
IMHO.
APWG Future Threat Models SIG
I have volunteered to participate in the Future Threat Models SIG
at APWG because
I am both highly creative and insanely paranoid which means I can
see blindspots where
none exists. :-) I probably won't be posting about
the activities
there but I will post my thoughts and publicize imminent threats
like the XSS
Network threat I posted about before.

Intel Forms UWB Special Interest Group
Intel Forms UWB Special Interest Group
02/18/2004 07:58 PMIntel and other Multi-Band OFDM Alliance members have formed a SIG
(special interest group): This SIG appears to be in reaction to the
stall in the IEEE 802.15.3a group on Personal Area Networking in which
Motorola represents the classical ultrawideband approach and the MBOA
represents a newer formation that Motorola thinks is too un-UWB-like.
Bluetooth is also the product of a SIG, but the Bluetooth SIG worked
with IEEE 802.15.1 to create an IEEE ratified large subset of the
Bluetooth 1.2 spec that can be used by manufacturers who want BT
features without using the BT name. (They have to pay reasonable and
customary patent fees, of course.) Intel will also participant in an
industry group to codify wireless USB, which is a broader alternative
than Bluetooth as a cable replacement technology. Wireless USB (and
FireWire/IEEE 1394) are gaining interest as a generic way to use
existing protocols for connectivity without being tied to a specific
cable or radio medium....
