Attacking Networked Embedded Systems

FXFtR

FX and FtR explores attacking networked embedded systems at DEF CON 10, examining embedded-systems and practical defenses.

Summary

Architecture and Background

FX and FtR - Attacking Networked Embedded Systems Servers, workstations and PCs are the common targets of an average attacker, but there is much more to find in todays networks.

Vulnerability Analysis

Every device that has a processor, some memory and a network interface can become a target.

Exploitation and Demonstrations

Using printers and other common devices as examples, we will show how to exploit design failures and vulnerabilities and use the target as an attack platform.

Remediation and Defensive Strategies

We will also release some tools, methods and sample code to entertain the audience and aid further vulnerability research in this area. FX is the leader of the German Phenoelit Group. His and the groups interest is in less known or commonly ignored protocols, devices and techniques. FtR of Phenoelit is the resident Perl guru and algorithm guy of the group.
