New Variants of Cold-Boot Attack

If someone has physical access to your locked -- but still running -- computer, they can probably break the hard drive's encryption. This is a "cold boot" attack, and one we thought solved. We have not: To carry out the attack, the F-Secure researchers first sought a way to defeat the the...

Researchers Heat Up Cold-Boot Attack That Works on All Laptops

A pair of researchers have developed an attack method that can bypass mitigations for cold-boot attacks on laptops. A physical attacker can compromise a laptop that’s in sleep mode, potentially lifting sensitive passwords, encryption keys and other information. The ramifications are, on the...

Side-Channel PoC Attack Lifts Private RSA Keys from Mobile Phones

Researchers have developed a proof-of-concept side-channel attack that allows them to pull encryption keys from a single decryption for a modern version of OpenSSL. The attack impacts mobile devices — without physical access to the handsets. A group of researchers at Georgia Tech were able to...

FreeBSD : wpa_supplicant -- unauthenticated encrypted EAPOL-Key data (6bedc863-9fbe-11e8-945f-206a8a720317)

SO-AND-SO reports : A vulnerability was found in how wpasupplicant processes EAPOL-Key frames. It is possible for an attacker to modify the frame in a way that makes wpasupplicant decrypt the Key Data field without requiring a valid MIC value in the frame, i.e., without the frame being...
