November 23rd, 2009 admin
This article reads like something written by the company’s PR team. When it comes to sleuthing these days, knowing your way within a database is as valued a skill as the classic, Sherlock Holmes-styled powers of detection. Safe Banking Systems Software proved this very point in a demonstration of its algorithm acumen — one that resulted in a disclosure that…

The Chaocipher is a mechanical encryption algorithm invented in 1918. No one was able to reverse-engineer the algorithm, given sets of plaintexts and ciphertexts — at least, nobody publicly. On the other hand, I don’t know how many people tried, or even knew about the algorithm. I’d never heard of it before now. Anyway, for the first...
Matt Olney and I spoke about the role of a Product Security Incident Response Team ( PSIRT ) at my SANS Incident Detection Summit this month.

Amazing: The United States Computer Emergency Response Team (US-CERT) has warned that the software included in the Energizer DUO USB battery charger contains a backdoor that allows unauthorized remote system access.

It’s operational: The idea of hyperspectral sensing is not, however, merely to “see” in the usual sense of optical telescopes, infrared nightscopes and/or thermal imagers. This kind of detection is used on spy satellites and other surveillance systems, but it suffers from the so-called “drinking straw effect” —...
Earlier we reported speculation that a Russian train derailment was an act of terrorism. That early speculation has now been confirmed by officials. A homemade chemical bomb planted on the tracks resulted in the derailment of a high-speed train in Russia carrying hundreds of people Saturday, killing at least 26 and injuring scores more. The head This...
After I spoke at the Information Security Summit in Ohio last month, the guys at the Security Justice podcast interviewed me and Tyler Hudak . You can listen to the archive here . It was fairly loud in the room but you’d never know it listening to the audio. Great work guys. We discuss open source software, vulnerability research and disclosure,...

A sophisticated new piece of malware that targets command and control software installed in critical infrastructures uses a known default password that the software maker hard coded into its system and that has been available online since at least 2008 when it was posted to product forums in Germany and Russia.
