*** Netgear CG3000v2 Password Change Bypass *** --------------------------------------------- I noticed a security issue in my Netgear CG3000v2 cable modem, as provided by Optus (an Australian phone/communications provider). The "admin password" can be changed on the web interface, without providing the current password. The page http://192.168.0.1/SetPassword.asp prompts for old and new passwords (and repeat of new), but in fact ignores the old password provided, and changes the password to the new one, regardless. --------------------------------------------- https://cxsecurity.com/issue/WLB-2016030089

*** Introducing SHIPS - Centralized Password Management *** --------------------------------------------- The Shared Host Integrated Password System (SHIPS) is an open-source solution created by Geoff Walton from TrustedSec to provide unique and rotated local super user or administrator passwords for environments where it is not possible or not appropriate to disable these local accounts. Our goal is to make post exploitation more difficult and provide a simplistic way to manage multiple systems in an environment where Windows does not necessarily support an alternative. SHIPS supports both Linux --------------------------------------------- https://www.trustedsec.com/january-2015/introducing-ships-centralized-local-...
*** New NIST Encryption Guidelines *** --------------------------------------------- NIST has published a draft of their new standard for encryption use: "NIST Special Publication 800-175B, Guideline for Using Cryptographic Standards in the Federal Government: Cryptographic Mechanisms." In it, the Escrowed Encryption Standard from the 1990s, FIPS-185, is no longer certified. And Skipjack, NSAs symmetric algorithm from the same period, will no longer be certified. --------------------------------------------- https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2016/03/new_nist_encryp.html
