ScanNow for Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)

 

The free scanner checks whether your network-enabled devices might be vulnerable to attack through the UPnP protocol.

 

Recent research from Rapid7 revealed that around 40-50 million network-enabled devices are at risk due to vulnerabilities found in the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) protocol. UPnP enables devices such as routers, printers, network-attached storage (NAS), media players and smart TVs to communicate with each other.

 

Three groups of security flaws in the protocol are exposing millions of users to remote attacks that could result in the theft of sensitive information or other criminal activity such as spying.

Zscaler Research: BlackSheep - A Tool to Detect Firesheep

Zscaler Research: BlackSheep - A Tool to Detect Firesheep | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it
From research.zscaler.com - April 13, 2013 6:49 AM

 

You've probably all heard of Firesheep by now, a Firefox add-on which lets anyone hijack a user's session to various popular web applications when they're using an open wireless network. While sniffing/stealing session credentials is nothing new, Firesheep exposes this capability to the masses by automating the process so that absolutely no technical know-how is required.

 

Unfortunately, it is actually quite difficult to defend against Firesheep because most sites only permit SSL connections during the initial login, not while surfing other pages. As such, while your username and password are encrypted, your session ID is available to all other machines on the same network.



In order to install BlackSheep, you need:

Mac OS X: 10.5 or newer on an Intel processor.Windows: XP or newer. Install Winpcap first!Linux:  available hereFirefox: 3.5 or newer. 32-bit only.
