Arm IDA and Cross Check: Reversing the 787’s Core Network
In 2008, the Dreamliner was presented as the world’s first e-Enabled commercial airplane. Boeing certainly introduced an impressive new set of functionalities, enabling the vast majority of the components to be highly integrated with and connected to regular systems, such as onboard maintenance, data-load, and the Crew Information System. IOActive has documented our detailed attack paths and component vulnerabilities to describe the first plausible, detailed public attack paths to effectively reach the avionics network on a commercial airplane from either non-critical domains, such as Passenger Information and Entertainment Services, or…
Eight Steps to Improving Your Supply Chain Security Program
A few key steps you can take today to build a supply chain security program – and protect your network, systems, and products from threats.
Supply Chain Risks Go Beyond Cyber: Focus on Operational Resilience
In this first, of a two-part blog series on supply chain, I’ll discuss the security and operational risk in today’s supply chain. In the past 20 years, we’ve seen the globalization of the supply chain and a significant movement to disperse supply chains outside national borders. With this globalization comes many supply chain risks — risks that go beyond just cyber attacks and demonstrate a need for stronger operational resilience. Most organizations want to take advantage of tariff treaties and overall cost savings by outsourcing the manufacturing and production of…
Configuration Shell Escape injecting OS/IPV6 commands, and HTML Injection in LLDP Packet System Name Field Leading to Persistent Cross-site Scripting in Antaira LMX-0800AG
(two advisories in document) An authenticated malicious user with access to the web interface (with manager privileges) or via SSH/Serial connection (with enable/config privileges) can inject Operating System (OS) commands in ipv6 commands, which will be executed with root privileges on the switch. An unauthenticated attacker located in an adjacent network could send malicious Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) packets containing JavaScript code embedded in the System Names attribute. It should be noted that LLDP discovery is not enabled by default in firmware v2.8.

Internet of Planes: Hacking Millionaires’ Jet Cabins
The push to incorporate remote management capabilities into products has swept across a number of industries. A good example of this is the famous Internet of Things (IoT), where modern home devices from crockpots to thermostats can be managed remotely from a tablet or smartphone. One of the biggest problems associated with this new feature is a lack of security. Unfortunately, nobody is surprised when a new, widespread vulnerability appears in the IoT world. However, the situation becomes a bit more concerning when similar technologies appear in the aviation sector….
