In general browsers attempt to establish a HTTPs-Connection if possible. How would you force a browser to fallback to HTTP when somebody enters asdf.xyz in the search bar of his/her browser without specifying a protocol?
Therefore: sslstri… Continue reading Man in the middle using HTTPs downgrade to HTTP
Researchers are tricking autopilots by inserting split-second images into roadside billboards.
Researchers at Israel’s Ben Gurion University of the Negev … previously revealed that they could use split-second light projections on roads to successfully trick Tesla’s driver-assistance systems into automatically stopping without warning when its camera sees spoofed images of road signs or pedestrians. In new research, they’ve found they can pull off the same trick with just a few frames of a road sign injected on a billboard’s video. And they warn that if hackers hijacked an internet-connected billboard to carry out the trick, it could be used to cause traffic jams or even road accidents while leaving little evidence behind…

Olumide Ogunremi, a Nigerian national, was sentenced Wednesday to three years in prison for his role in a hacking operation aimed at U.S. government employees, the Department of Justice announced Wednesday. Ogunremi, along with other alleged co-conspirators, targeted government employees with spoofed email pages that imitated U.S. government agencies’ email systems in order to steal their access credentials, prosecutors said. After government personnel visited the pages and fell for the trick, the fraudsters used the stolen usernames and passwords to then fraudulently order office products from General Services Administration vendors, according to the DOJ. The operation, which lasted from approximately July 2013 through December 2013, convinced government vendors to send office products, such as printer toner cartridges, to New Jersey. The products would then be repackaged and shipped overseas to locations controlled by Ogunremi and co-conspirators, the Justice Department said. In some cases, the co-conspirators leveraged web pages that imitated the U.S. Environmental Protection […]

From my understanding, TCP spoofing can be carried out if the attacker can correctly guess the sequence numbers from the response packets (to mimic the real client). The attacker may even obtain this sequence of numbers via sniffing. Furth… Continue reading Does an attacker need to guess or brute-force a password for TCP spoofing?
