Hacking Slot Machines by Reverse-Engineering the Random Number Generators

Interesting story: The venture is built on Alex's talent for reverse engineering the algorithms -- known as pseudorandom number generators, or PRNGs -- that govern how slot machine games behave. Armed with this knowledge, he can predict when certain games are likeliest to spit out money­insight...

CVE-2017-9859

CVE-2017-9859 concerns SMA Solar Technology inverters (Sunny Boy TLST-21/TL-21 and Sunny Tripower TL-10/TL-30). The issue is use of a weak hashing algorithm to encrypt passwords for REGISTER requests, which can be cracked offline, enabling an attacker to recover the password and register at SMA s...

CVE-2017-9856

An issue was discovered in SMA Solar Technology products. Sniffed passwords from SMAdata2+ communication can be decrypted very easily. The passwords are "encrypted" using a very simple encryption algorithm. This enables an attacker to find the plaintext passwords and authenticate to the device...

Weak Algorithm Vulnerability in Huawei USG Products

Huawei USG6300/USG6600 are firewall products from Huawei, China. A weak algorithmic vulnerability exists in several Huawei firewall USG6300/USG6600 products. By exploiting this weak algorithm vulnerability, an attacker can intercept information transmitted over the network and successfully decryp...

Security Advisory - Weak Algorithm Vulnerability in Huawei USG product

There is a weak algorithm vulnerability in Huawei USGUSG6300/USG6600 products. Attackers may exploit the weak algorithm vulnerability to crack the cipher text and cause confidential information leaks on the transmission links. Vulnerability ID: HWPSIRT-2017-02028 This vulnerability has been...

kernel: Kernel crash by spawning mcrypt(alg) with incompatible algorithm

Algorithms not compatible with mcryptd could be spawned by mcryptd with a direct cryptoalloctfm invocation using a "mcryptdalg" name construct. This causes mcryptd to crash the kernel if an arbitrary "alg" is incompatible and not intended to be used with mcryptd...

openssl: ECDSA P-256 timing attack key recovery

A timing attack flaw was found in OpenSSL that could allow a malicious user with local access to recover ECDSA P-256 private keys...

VulnCheck KEV: CVE-2017-20202

Web Developer for Chrome v0.4.9 contained malicious code that generated a domain via a DGA and fetched a remote script. The fetched script conditionally loaded follow-on modules that performed extensive ad substitution and malvertising, displayed fake “repair” alerts that redirected users to...

Clustering and Dimensionality Reduction: Understanding the “Magic” Behind Machine Learning

These days we hear about machine learning and artificial intelligence AI in all aspects of life. We see machines that learn and imitate the human brain in order to automate human processes. There are autonomous cars that learn the road conditions to drive, personal assistants we can converse with...

Signature Verification Bypass

namashi/jose is vulnerable to signature verification bypass. The library didn't check for the "none" algorithm without case, allowing attackers to easily bypass the signature verification mechanism...

OpenJDK: DSA implementation timing attack (JCE, 8175106)

A covert timing channel flaw was found in the DSA implementation in the JCE component of OpenJDK. A remote attacker able to make a Java application generate DSA signatures on demand could possibly use this flaw to extract certain information about the used key via a timing side channel...
