Security considerations of modern embedded devices and networking equipment

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the potential impact and risks related with security breaches in modern networking equipment and embedded devices in general. Firstly, the possible attack vectors and exemplary exploitation methods are presented. The methods are based on real vulnerabilities the author has recently found in a popular wireless router software. Besides presenting the vulnerabilities themselves the papers main goal is to assess the possible impact of a successful attack. Author presents several post exploitation methods which show how easily it is to use the fully-featured embedded device operating system maliciously.
