Hacking Ham Radio: WinAPRS – Part 4

In part three of this series, we discovered and traced a memory corruption bug in WinAPRS using IDA Pro and WinDbg. We discovered that it could be used to gain control over the CPUs EIP register to obtain remote code execution. We found that there were limitations on the address that could be...

Hacking Ham Radio: WinAPRS – Part 3

In part two of this series, we reviewed our WinAPRS software and hardware configuration. We then began reverse engineering WinAPRS and fuzzing it for vulnerabilities using modified open-source software. Finally, we identified a potentially exploitable vulnerability. This installment will dig into...

Hacking Ham Radio: WinAPRS – Part 2

In part one of this series on vulnerability research in ham radio software, we discussed ham radio and digital communications via packet radio. We reviewed some relevant packet radio protocols such as AX.25, APRS, and KISS. We then chose WinAPRS as our target application. In this installment we...

Hacking Ham Radio: WinAPRS – Part 1

Hackers have been breaching computer system defenses for more than half a century, and the networks they use to exploit those weaknesses have been around for far longer than that. With the internet replacing most wirelines and wavelengths, and with the rise of cybercrime sophistication from petty...
