Real Trojan Horse

I’ve been working several Physical Security projects lately and I’m really surprised that I didn’t try this. (The fun starts at 36 seconds into the video)

I’m not surprised at this hack’s success rate.

This day is the anniversary of the signing of the armistice, which ended the World War I hostilities between the Allied nations and Germany in 1918.

Thank you to all who have served

Tucson, Tombstone, Bisbee, and Benson

On a whim, Jaime and I planned to and went to Bisbee to further learn and hone her photography skills.

It was a really quaint and cute town. (Some of the pictures are out of order)

Million Mask March and Possible Cyber Attacks

There is a planned million mask march (in Guy Fawkes masks) today.

profitoffgreed

It is possible individuals claiming affiliation with the anonymous hacktivist group will take the opportunity to conduct their own operations. The FBI assesses it is possible unaffiliated hackers could use 5 November to attempt cyber attacks, to coincide with Guy Fawkes Day.

It’s also highly possible that attackers, could hold off three days until election day in the United States.

Halloween Security Humor

For those who don’t know, the 192.168.x.x address block is an RFC 1918 space, which is non routable on public Internets… meaning, the killer was on their network (in their house). Ooooo!!!!

Dyn Down by DDoS

Dyn a company that provides dynamic domain name resolution (convert names into IP addresses) was threatened to shell out some bitcoin or else…

Or else what? I’d like to call it an availability compromise, but in layman’s terms, an outage of service. Here is their support link on the incident. Because the service provider provides service to other well known services (reddit, spotify, twitter, etc), they were down as well.

Brian Krebs writes:

The size of these DDoS attacks has increased so much lately thanks largely to the broad availability of tools for compromising and leveraging the collective firepower of so-called Internet of Things devices — poorly secured Internet-based security cameras, digital video recorders (DVRs) and Internet routers.

Tech Support Scam Infographic

Here is a cool infographic that Microsoft created. I love infographics with numbers in them.
50% of Millennials are normally scammed. 34% are about my age. 17% are old… like my boss at work :)
