Hi,
With the recent revelations of these exploits, do they affect Ip cams? and if so can it be used to hack
the firmware in some way?
Looking forward to your responses!
Thanks!
The NSA knew and didnt tell us? That doesnt sound right.![]()
That's exactly right, and the high-value exploit targets will be the multiple large and small VMs handling sensitive data that run on a single hardware host platform, bare metal or OS-based..To take it a step further these vulnerabilities are more critical in systems where multiple things are being run as the attack allows the attacker to access memory regions that do not belong to the binary that is implementing the attack.
While this is true, most hacks are related to an attacker exploiting a hole in your system to run his code—so the risk is the same it’s always been and there’s just another avenue for exploit code to get its work done. Yes, your 150USD IP camera is not a high value target, but once this becomes “script kiddie” simple, and it’s practically there, your camera will continue to be owned to mine Bitcoin or whatnot just like it is today....I believe for an attacker to make any use of the vulnerabilities they would need to already be running their own code on the camera.
