Car Immobilisers Using Weak Encryption Schemes
Another case of a certain industry lagging behind, I mean come-on – who seriously still using proprietary cryptography algorithms in 2010? Especially only 40 or 48-bit protocols, with the processing power available on hand now and new techniques like GPU based cracking – that just doesn’t cut it. The latest discovery of such implementations was […]
Cloud Computing Use By Criminals Increasing
Over the last couple of years Cloud Computing has started gaining some real leverage, it’s being deployed on a wide scale, it’s becoming more affordable and the platforms supplying such services are becoming more stable. Of course the natural progression of this wider adoption is the focus of the security community and naturally the bad […]
Graphics Cards – The Next Big Thing for Password Cracking?
[ad] Interesting research from Elcomsoft, using the parallel processing capacity of graphics cards to speed up the password cracking process. Pretty inventive thinking, as graphics cards get more and more powerful, and they are created to do massive parallel tasks for all the latest and greatest games, why not apply it to password cracking!
