  • Tech News 2Night 180: Bash Shellshock Bug Bigger Than Heartbleed

    • Know How... 112: Bash Bug, GPU Upgrade, and Android Wear

      Bash exploit allows an attacker to take complete control of a computer, upgrading your Video Card, VLAN's on a personal network, SSD Media Center, and make a custom watch face for your Android Wear Device.

      Bash, Bash, Bash!

    • A new bug has been discovered in Bash that allows an attacker to take complete control of a computer running any UNIX-based operating system
    • That includes all flavors of Linux as well as Apple's OSX.
    • The National Vulnerability Database gave the exploit a "10 out of 10"
    • While the Heatbleed bug allowed attackers to spy on your traffic. This bug lets them attack your computer.

      • What is Bash

    • Bash is a command line shell that was released in 1989
    • It replaced the "Bourne Shell" -- and therefore it was dubbed the "Bourne-Again Shell" or BASH)
    • It allows users to issue commands to the Operating system through a command line.

      • What is the vulnerability?

    • Some researchers at Red Hat figured out that you could add a few extra lines to a bash command and have it execute scripts over the Internet.
    • Essentially... this allows a remote attack to have COMPLETE control over your OS.

      • Why is it Bad?

    • Heartbleed affected about 600,000 websites
    • The Bash Bug can affect HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF COMPUTERS AND DEVICES
    • Linux is baked into many smart devices (which means they're most likely not going to be patched)
    • Light Bulbs
    • Cameras
    • Automatic lighting/irrigation systems
    • Routers

      • Padre's Network

    • Enterasys D2 Switch (Core)
    • Radius Authentication Server
    • HP Intellijacks (Edge)
    • When new devices connect, they get an address and access to the gateway. They're put on their own VLAN in the "untrusted" subnet, so they can't see any other devices.
    • Once they authenticate, they're put on the "Trusted VLANS" -- They can now see basic network resources. (Internet Gateway // Media Server // Printers)
    • When they want to access another network resource (Other computers, admin tools, security, secure storage) they hit an access list.
    • If that device has permission to access that device (which is on its own VLAN), a new VLAN is created that encompasses both devices. That VLAN is deleted when communications are now longer required between devices.

      • Android Wear
