  • Testing Security for Internet of Things a Survey on Vulnerabilities in IP Cameras
    Testing Security for Internet of Things A Survey on Vulnerabilities in IP Cameras Kim Jonatan Wessel Bjørneset Master’s Thesis Autumn 2017 Testing Security for Internet of Things Kim Jonatan Wessel Bjørneset 23rd November 2017 Abstract The number of devices connected to the Internet is growing rapidly. Many of these devices are referred to as IoT-devices. These are easy to connect and access over the Internet. Many of these, though, come with security flaws and vulnerabilities which make them easy targets for attackers. This is something that has been reviewed a lot in media lately. An IP camera is a typical example of an IoT-device, and is used for various purposes, e.g., in industrial surveillance, home surveillance, baby monitors, elderly monitoring, social interaction, movement tracking, etc. This kind of device is often powerful, both in computing and bandwidth, which makes them very attractive for attackers as they can abuse them in additional attacks, such as distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. This thesis investigates and presents a few methods used to find and hack IoT-devices. These methods we then apply to IP cameras, where the focus is to examine the impact of these attacks on security and privacy, and to what extent the normal end user can affect (strengthen/weaken) the security. The methods used are based on previously done attacks on IP cameras together with a few other tools used in ethical hacking. The results of the research show that there are vulnerabilities in many of these devices, and that these vulnerabilities have different impacts on security.

  • A Tiny Web Server on Embedded System
    A Tiny Web Server on Embedded System Lain-Jinn Hwang∗, Tang-Hsun Tu†, Tzu-Hao Lin‡, I-Ting Kuo§, and Bing-Hong Wang¶ Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering Tamkang University, Tamshui, 251, Taipei, Taiwan ∗E-mail: [email protected] †E-mail: war3 [email protected] ‡E-mail: [email protected] §E-mail: [email protected] Abstract [3] has only 64MB RAM and 100MIPS and SiS550 [4] has 128MB RAM and 400MIPS. When we need to build a web Bhttpd (BBS httpd) is a tiny web server for embedded server on these enviroment we have to retrench the size and system, the entire size it consumed is 14KB only. Bhttpd is simplify unnecessary functionality [5]. Usually, the web HTTP/1.1 compliance, GET/POST method, keep-alive con- server built on embedded system is for personal usage. For nection and flow control support. For computer program- example, we can configure the router or switch network set- mer, Bhttpd is easily for reuse because of its structure is ting by browser because there is web server built on it, and simple. In this paper, we introduce the means of bundling we may not often change the setting. Briefly, what we need Bhttpd to make a new web page, by just adding the re- to used on embedded system is a light, small and fit web quired functions. This makes the static web page develop- server. ment on embedded system not only simple but also efficient Usually, web server mean two things, one is a computer than other web server.

  • Towards Automated Privilege Separation
    Towards Automated Privilege Separation Dhananjay Bapat, Kevin Butler, and Patrick McDaniel Department of Computer Science and Engineering The Pennsylvania State University University Park, PA 16802 USA dbapat,butler,[email protected] Abstract. Applications are subject to threat from a number of attack vectors, and limiting their attack surface is vital. By using privilege sep- aration to constrain application access to protected resources, we can mitigate the threats against the application. Previous examinations of privilege separation either entailed significant manual effort or required access to the source code. We consider a method of performing privilege separation through black-box analysis. We consider similar applications to the target and infer states of execution, and determine unique trigger system calls that cause transitions. We use these for the basis of state- based policy enforcement by leveraging the Systrace policy enforcement mechanism. Our results show that we can infer state transitions with a high degree of accuracy, while our modifications to Systrace result in more granular protection by limiting system calls depending on the ap- plication’s state. The modified Systrace increases the size of the Apache web server’s policy file by less than 17.5%. 1 Introduction Applications in computing environments are often insecure. Insecure applications open the system and user data to exploitation. The number of attack vectors, from buffer overflow attacks to worms and other malware, is large and growing. However, the system can defend itself against attack and reduce the amount of potential damage by limiting an application’s access to trusted system resources. In Unix systems, an application runs at the same privilege level as that of the user executing it.

  • The Table of Equivalents / Replacements / Analogs of Windows Software in Linux
    The table of equivalents / replacements / analogs of Windows software in Linux. Last update: 16.07.2003, 31.01.2005, 27.05.2005, 04.12.2006 You can always find the last version of this table on the official site: http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/. This page on other languages: Russian, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Hungarian, Chinese. One of the biggest difficulties in migrating from Windows to Linux is the lack of knowledge about comparable software. Newbies usually search for Linux analogs of Windows software, and advanced Linux-users cannot answer their questions since they often don't know too much about Windows :). This list of Linux equivalents / replacements / analogs of Windows software is based on our own experience and on the information obtained from the visitors of this page (thanks!). This table is not static since new application names can be added to both left and the right sides. Also, the right column for a particular class of applications may not be filled immediately. In future, we plan to migrate this table to the PHP/MySQL engine, so visitors could add the program themselves, vote for analogs, add comments, etc. If you want to add a program to the table, send mail to winlintable[a]linuxrsp.ru with the name of the program, the OS, the description (the purpose of the program, etc), and a link to the official site of the program (if you know it). All comments, remarks, corrections, offers and bugreports are welcome - send them to winlintable[a]linuxrsp.ru. Notes: 1) By default all Linux programs in this table are free as in freedom.
