Can an SSH server in password mode be impersonated if I ignore the fingerprint warning?

Assume that I never check the server fingerprint when logging in to an SSH server. This means that certain configurations of SSH can be impersonated. For example, I can log into a server that only has my public key. Obviously this doesn’t … Continue reading Can an SSH server in password mode be impersonated if I ignore the fingerprint warning?

Successful Hack of Time-Triggered Ethernet

Time-triggered Ethernet (TTE) is used in spacecraft, basically to use the same hardware to process traffic with different timing and criticality. Researchers have defeated it:

On Tuesday, researchers published findings that, for the first time, break TTE’s isolation guarantees. The result is PCspooF, an attack that allows a single non-critical device connected to a single plane to disrupt synchronization and communication between TTE devices on all planes. The attack works by exploiting a vulnerability in the TTE protocol. The work was completed by researchers at the University of Michigan, the University of Pennsylvania, and NASA’s Johnson Space Center…

reverse multipoint bluetooth earbuds with intentional spoofing [migrated]

Would it be possible to broadcast one audio source to a group of bluetooth headphones to make it work like old-fashioned radio broadcasting? Could this be done similarly to spoofing? How much of a problem would bluetooth error correcton be… Continue reading reverse multipoint bluetooth earbuds with intentional spoofing [migrated]
