Hack a plane!

Saturday, January 5. 2008

It seems like, that Boing made a typical design flaw:

  • Never connect two networks with differen security status.
  • Firewall them.
  • If security status is too different ensure physical separation.

The last point seems to apply also to plains flight control and passengers interent connectivity systems.

Not for Boing it looks like: http://www.wired.com/politics/security/news/2008/01/dreamliner_security.

Thursday, January 3. 2008

For those of you which have missed 24c3 and "Security nightmares 2008" (get the recording at http://outpost.h3q.com/fnord/24c3-torrents/ ) here is the right trojan for your bosses desk (the features just lack network connectivity):

• camera-based vision system (for light detection and navigation)
• two microphones, binaural hearing
• eight touch sensors (head, chin, shoulders, back, feet)
• four foot switches (surface detection)
• fourteen force-feedback sensors, one per joint
• orientation tilt sensor for body position
• infrared mouth sensor for object detection into mouth
• infrared transmit and receive for communication with other Pleos
• Mini-USB port for online downloads
• SD card slot for Pleo add-ons
• infrared detection for external objects
• 32-bit Atmel ARM 7 microprocessor (main processor for Pleo)
• 32-bit NXP ARM 7 sub processor (camera system, audio input dedicated processor)
• four 8-bit processors (low-level motor control)

(The toy is called Pleo, more at http://www.pleoworld.com/discover)

Hackers on a <strike>plane</strike>bus

Friday, August 10. 2007

Well, it looks like that the widely announced "Hackers on a plane" ( also here ) turned into a "Hackers on a bus" trip. (see also http://ioerror.livejournal.com/448684.html)

Due to some (unconfirmed) scheduling issues (<rumor> somebody mixed up dates due to the fact that timezones exist </rumor>) the Hackers coming from Defcon had to take a bus from Duesseldorf airport to the camp site.

Instead of riding a chartered DO-328 they rode this nice chartered coach:

This coach took 10h from Düsseldorf to Berlin, while the Berlin airports are just 50 minutes away from here.

However, to compensate for the bus trip, there is still a chance at the camp to take off at the runway attached to the camp.



A round trip with the Hacker plane, a AN 2.

display asterisk callerID on a dreambox digital TV set top box

Monday, July 16. 2007

In addition to my recent article how to display asterisk CallerID on a Slimserver, I would like to give some instructions about how to do the same with a Dreambox (digital DVB-[T/C/S] receiver running linux) so that a incomming call will be alerted on your TV screen.






Its quite simple, just put at a usefull location in your asterisks extension.conf the following line:

exten => 2210,4,System(/usr/bin/wget -q -b http://dreambox/cgi-bin/"message?${CALLERID(num)} ${CALLERID(name)}")

where

2210: is your extension

dreambox: is the IP (or DNS entry) of your dreambox.
