Network World HTML5 raises new security issues
As HTML5 enhances the Web, so too will it bring new vulnerabilities, security experts warn
IEEE DTRAB: Combating Against Attacks on Encrypted Protocols Through Traffic-Feature Analysis
The unbridled growth of the Internet and the network-based applications has contributed to enormous security leaks. Even the cryptographic protocols, which are used to provide secure communication, are often targeted by diverse attacks. Intrusion detection systems (IDSs) are often employed to monitor network traffic and host activities that may lead to unauthorized accesses and attacks against vulnerable services. Most of the conventional misuse-based and anomaly-based IDSs are ineffective against attacks ...
IEEE Aegis: Physical Space Security for Wireless Networks With Smart Antennas
In this paper, we focus on securing communication over wireless data networks from malicious eavesdroppers by using smart antennas. While conventional cryptography-based approaches focus on hiding the meaning of the information being communicated from the eavesdropper, we consider a complimentary class of strategies that limit knowledge of the existence of the information from the eavesdropper. We profile the performance achievable with simple beamforming strategies using a newly defined metric called expo...

ITtoolbox How Xsigo Enhances VMware Deployments
XS International presents this whitepaper on how the virtual I/O capabilities of the Xsigo I/O Director enable a virtualized datacenter running VMware ESX to scale better, ensure security through traffic isolation, and guarantee performance through QoS. Together, these benefits allow a greater percentage of applications to run in virtual machines, further reducing the need for physical servers that consume power and real estate.

BTCrack a
Bluetooth PIN Recovery tool. Thierry
Zoller, a security consultant, developed BTCrack, an
implementation of a flaw disclosed in 2005 by Israeli security
researchers. The tool takes advantage of weak PINs in Bluetooth
devices, allowing an attacker to listen in on a pairing session and
gain access to both paired devices. |

The
Real Bluejack is software for smartphones and Pocket PCs, that
use Bluetooth. It extends your device’s Bluetooth functions. This
program can: send Bluetooth messages, browse target-device’s
filesystem via OBEX protocol, send AT commands, get phonebook, send
SMS via target-phone, send files up to 2x faster then file managers,
receive files directly into the Storage Card and other features.
"THE REAL BLUEJACK" IS NOT INTENDED FOR GETTING
UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO PERSONAL DATA! Authentication is required!
(But after you can do everything that you want) |

Bluetooth SIG Response to Recent Analysis of Pairing and
Security (6/05) New Scientist reported a new security threat
to Bluetooth technology in June 2005 (New
hack cracks 'secure' Bluetooth devices) from two Israeli
researchers who suggested a way to subvert one of the built-in
Bluetooth security mechanisms. Bluetooth devices generate a secure
connection by means of the initial pairing process. During this
process one or both devices need a PIN code to be entered, which
is used by internal algorithms to generate a secure key which is
then used to authenticate the devices whenever they connect in the
future. The new academic paper puts forward a theoretical process
that could potentially “guess” the security settings on a pair
of Bluetooth devices. To do this the attacking device would need
to listen in to the initial one-time pairing process. From this
point it can use an algorithm to guess the security key and
masquerade as the other Bluetooth device. What is new in this
paper is an approach that forces a new pairing sequence to be
conducted between the two devices and an improved method of
performing the guessing process, which brings the time down
significantly from previous attacks.

The Bunker Serious
flaws in bluetooth security lead to disclosure of personal data In
November 2003, Adam Laurie of A.L. Digital Ltd. discovered that there
are serious flaws in the authentication and/or data transfer
mechanisms on some Bluetooth enabled devices. Specifically, three
vulnerabilities have been found: Firstly, confidential data can be
obtained, anonymously, and without the owner's knowledge or consent,
from some Bluetooth enabled mobile phones. Secondly, it has been found
that the complete memory contents of some mobile phones can be
accessed by a previously trusted ("paired") device that has
since been removed from the trusted list. Thirdly, access can be
gained to the AT command set of the device, giving full access to the
higher level commands and channels, such as data, voice and messaging.
