Oh hey, I found a wild and wonderful new way to get stack corruption in C++
13:44 Jessikat` is now known as Jessikat
13:46
<@TheWatcher>
Oho?
13:49
<&ToxicFrog>
Sweet.
13:52
< Jessikat>
It involves lambdas and decay semantics
13:54
<@celticminstrel>
I want to hear all about it, but don't have that much time... oh well.
14:00
< Jessikat>
I'll write a blog post

Well, if I can replicate it with std::function anyway

<&ToxicFrog>
Well this is cool/scary: https://blog.exodusintel.com/2017/07/26/broadpwn/
15:03
<&ToxicFrog>
tl;dr RCE with no user intervention by exploiting an overflow in the embedded!BCM43xx firmware; PoC uses this to implement a worm that spreads over wifi, runs entirely on the wifi processor, and redirects HTTP traffic, and more direct attacks against kernel memory are likely possible.
15:03
<@Tamber>
*wince*
15:03
<@Tamber>
Truly, we're living in that cyberpunk future that everyone daydreamed of.
15:03
<&ToxicFrog>
Released just in time for DEFCON too :D
15:03
<@Tamber>
But of course!
15:05
<&ToxicFrog>
Tamber: they note in that report that worms largely died out last decade due to DEP and ASLR making no-intervention remote exploits increasingly difficult, but with increasing attack surfaces on wifi and baseband chips, "those times may just be making a comeback!"
15:05
<@Tamber>
And, of course, the Internet of Things With No Security.
15:06
<&ToxicFrog>
Indeed, but that's a different sort of attack; compromising someone's lightbulbs gives you DDoS amplification but doesn't let you access their personal data.
15:06
<&ToxicFrog>
Or rather, it's the same sort on a technical level, but with different objectives and results.
15:07
<@Tamber>
But if you can use their wireless doorbell (for sake of argument) as your back door into their network... :p
15:11
< Jessikat>
Oh, sadness. My stack corruption was a bug in my std::function implementation
15:12
<&ToxicFrog>
Tamber: like, use this exploit to get code running on the doorbell's wifi processor, which associates with their home wifi network, and now you can send packets on that net without needing to be able to associate one of your devices with it? Hrm.
15:12
<&ToxicFrog>
Jessikat: aaw boo :(
15:13
< Jessikat>
And if anyone thinks I'm going to implement std::function they can get fucked
15:13
< Jessikat>
Ugh
15:13
< Jessikat>
std::decay
15:13
< Jessikat>
Dammit autocarrot
15:14
<@Tamber>
TF: See, that's the kind of pant-wettingly scary hypothetical* scenario that I like to hear~
15:14
<&ToxicFrog>
Tamber: I mean, you still need RCE against other devices on that net to do anything with it
15:15
<@Tamber>
Well, yeah.
15:15
<@Tamber>
But who'd be looking for their freaking /doorbell/ to be attacking them~?
15:16
<@Tamber>
(And I'd suspect the kind of person who'd put a wireless doorbell onto their network, is probably either not the most technically savvy, or the most security minded.)
15:17
<@Tamber>
Relatedly: I am unsurprised, but a tiny bit saddened, to discover that WiFi doorbells are actually a thing.
15:19 * Tamber wonders if they're just a one-button device; the doorbell is also the WPS button...
15:24
< Jessikat>
._.
15:24
< Jessikat>
People are ridiculous
15:24
<@Tamber>
Personally, I think I'll stick to the old-school hard-wired electric bell.
15:24
< Jessikat>
Then again, the party mode lights that were up in our friends' house were quite neat
15:24
<@Tamber>
:)
15:25
<@Tamber>
That stuff /is/ neat, but I don't trust the manufacturers to do it right.
15:25
< Jessikat>
I don't trust them to do anything right
15:26
<@Tamber>
Indeed.
15:26
<@Tamber>
(I mean, the track record so far... ¬¬)
15:30
<&ToxicFrog>
Remember, the 'S' in 'IoT' stands for Security!
15:31
< Jessikat>
Tangential, but I like that KMFDM'greatest hits album is called Greatest Shit

Huh. I had missed this bit of news from a month ago (since I know we've discussed Ethereum in here): http://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/22/ethereum-price-crash-10-cents-gdax-exchange-after -multimillion-dollar-trade.html
20:58
<@Tamber>
's almost like this "economy" thing is hard~
21:36
<&ToxicFrog>
There is a recent book about Etherium and Bitcoin called "Attack of the 50 Foot Blockchain" that I think I need to pick up.

The worst part is that you can't actually be sure it's satire from the title alone. >_>

Though you can from the URL~

What, I thought that was just an ancient clan, like the Hong, Tang, Fang and Sung?

It is, but that ancient clan now runs a humor website in this day and age.
