ZigBee: attack of the killer bees
,----[ Quote ]
| Developer Joshua Wright intends to release
| KillerBee, an open source collection of
| Linux tools intended for testing the security
| of ZigBee networks. According to Wright, many
| ZigBee implementations are a mess â he hopes
| that his tool, which is coded in Python, will
| ultimately lead to more secure products.
|
| [...]
|
| ZigBee (IEEE 802.15.4) is far more popular
| than Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or DECT for these kind
| of scenarios, as it is simpler to implement â
| the complete stack requires only 120 KB of
| space â and because the wireless technology
| uses significantly less energy. Wright,
| however, concludes that "When both simplicity
| and low cost are goals, security suffers."

Beware GSM calls get Hacked:A5/1 Algorithm turns Flaw!

| Last August they kicked off an open-source
| project to create the cracking tables â
| something that would take a decent gaming
| computer about 10 years to compute â and
| they have shown which open-source tools
| could be used to intercept messages, but
| they have stopped short of designing a
| device to intercept the messages. This is,
| however, something that a technically
| sophisticated hacker could figure out.
