What's My Pass? » Winlockpwn – Access through firewire

Physical Access Attacks in Firewire" presentation requires Adobe Reader puts it, expansion buses are "limited only the creativity of the device engineer. According to an interview provided to ITRadio's Risky Business Podcast 52 on March 4 of this year, Boileau released the code now because the recent "cold boot" attacks against encrypted systems have users thinking about attacks against systems through physical access.

Now that the cat is out of the bag after an month delay, what can you do to protect your systems from this or similar threats? Thus, the ability to access a system's memory isn't a 'bug' in FireWire, but a feature. Mine showed the ipod image loaded onto port number 0 and my windows box on node number 1.

Expansion buses, unlike peripheral buses, are granted direct access to memory via the direct memory access DMA controller in the host system. How It Works Boileau's winlockpwn attack tool, the source code for which is now available hereworks by exploiting a built-in feature in the FireWire interface: First, researchers at Princeton University discovered that full-disk encryption features like Windows Vista's BitLocker and MacOS's FileVault could be bypassed by freezing an encrypted system's memory chips with a can of compressed air immediately after shutting down the computer or while the system was in sleep or standby modes.

Now we can run businfo to make sure the ipod image is loaded and on what port number it is on as well as making sure you can see your computer on the other end.

Again, save and quit and compile it with winlockown following command: The next step is to get the pythonraw library. Although winlockpwn targets Windows-based systems, it runs on a Linux-based system.

Physical Attacks with Firewire" presentation. Boileau's creativity comes in his software's ability to lie about the nature of the device being attached to the FireWire port.

Winlockpwn

Now, the fun part! First, a list of what doesn't work:.

Information Privacy Engineering and Privacy by Design: I installed winlockpwn on Ubuntu 7. Also, we need to make it executable:. Don't leave your system accessible to strangers; lock your office at breaks or lunch, and keep a careful eye on technicians when they check your system.

Winlockpwn disguises the attacking system as an iPod see page 21 of the presentationenabling the software to bypass device-based restrictions on FireWire port usage, but enabling the attacking system to do very un-iPod tricks, such as bypassing passwords, installing spyware, and so on.

winlockpdn Windows Vista users don't need to look smug, though. Now, Adam 'Metlstorm' Boileau, a New Zealand-based security researcher, has released a tool that enables a Linux-based system to attack and control a Windows-based system through its FireWire IEEEa port - even if the system is password-protected!

The raw module also needs to also be loaded and the permissions changed on the raw devices:. There are many security issues that arise from winlockpwn. Boileau's winlockpwn attack tool, the source code for which is now available hereworks by exploiting a built-in feature in the FireWire interface: Winolckpwn we need to download and winlocpwn Python 2.

Repeat the same step for the winlockpwn script as well. Once you run winlockpwnthe windows box will accept any password you choose to give it even a blank password and unlock the system for you. Both types of systems are vulnerable.

The entire podcast is full of useful security news and tips, but to go directly to the interview, advance to The first step is to download the required libraries: The winlockpwn script needs to be in the pythonraw directory or it wont work without modifying the code. As Boileau's "Hit by a Bus: Although FireWire ports aren't nearly as common as USB ports, many recent systems include integrated FireWire ports, and many more have add-on cards with FireWire ports.

Now we need to plug into the windows winolckpwn and then edit the romtool to reflect the location of python:. Once you comment all of them out, save and close the file.
