    This Can't Be True. Packet Sniffing On Car Ecu's

    in Security

    Posted

    thats not really that funny.

    something this could be used for law enforcement. just think about all the high speed chases that end in crashes or death of innocent people. instead they could just shutdown the persons car when they are getting pulled over.

    Or they could just discreetly follow the perps and grab them when they need to fill the tank ...

    but nooooo, why waste a chance to be a movie-cop and start a high-speed chase in populated areas ..

    It's a lot sexier than auditing the books of the banksters .

    But this really isn't surprising, most computer-equipment in commercial applications is built

    on a trust-model, ie the different pieces of hardware "trust" each other .

    Well, no "security-expert" likes "trust" .

    Best Hardware Based Firewall

    I can't say if it's "the best" but it certainly is small ...

    They also make a very reasonably priced OPEN SOURCE !! version,

    unfortunately it's sold out at the moment :

    http://www.yoggie.com/Open-Firewall-Debug-Board

    Moving a bit up in price there's Soekris net 5501

    http://www.soekris.com/net5501.htm

    It can run most linux router-distros and there's also

    a special version of Zeroshell, http://www.zeroshell.net/eng/ , for it .

    If you have an old computer collecting dust it can probably run zeroshell

    (or smoothwall or any other linux router-distro)if you add a second NIC :

    Hardware needed to run ZeroShell

    Zeroshell works on x86 and x86_64 box with at least a Pentium 233MHz, 96MB RAM,

    an ATA CDROM reader or an ATA Compact Flash (CF) adapter if you prefer to boot from this type of medium (for example on embedded devices).

    Every VGA graphic card and RS232 serial port are supported.

    The database in which data and configuration are saved can be stored on IDE, SATA, SCSI and USB storage devices.

    All the PCI, USB and PCMCIA network cards supported by the Linux kernel are supported by ZeroShell too and should work correctly. For a few Network adapters, Linux has not support for VLAN 802.1q. In this case ethernet packets greater than 1496 bytes are not forwarded on the VLANs.

    Or you could build a very nice dedicated box with a Atom-board with 2 NIC's ..

    @Dengle :

    Looks like they changed the VID/PID :(

    I've seen one controller marked "V88 6227-24", it turned out to be a Chipsbank (CBM)

    controller and this MPT worked : CBM2093 UMPTool v3.3.9.1 091127 .

    Since the number on yours is lower, try a older MPT-version if that one doesn't work ..

    @neaghi :

    Not exactly like Chipgenius but nirsoft's USBDview http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html

    can show a lot of useful info on all connected (and previously connected !!) usb-devices .

    Lately there has been a few card-reader MPT's posted @ flashboot .

    I am pretty certain it's secure since its approved and tested by Home Land Security

    "cryptsetup" is a linux ENCRYPTION tool, probably not what you are after .

    Your flash-drive most likely has password-protection built in, in the form of the ATA-security functions .

    The trick is finding the software to set/enter the password .

    For USBest controllers (Ut163,165 etc) it's called "UFDUtility.exe", the manual is here :

    http://www.ao-lab.com/download/manual/UFD%...r-Manual_EN.pdf

    and the program is here : http://www.mediafire.com/?mnydz3gnwzu

    The tool is made for the controller, each chip-vendor has their own (or should have )

    So, you will need to identify your UFD's controller-chip and then use google to find the tool .

    (or have a look at flashboot.ru, they have a few login-tools in the collection .

    Some login-tools are provided with the controllers Mass Production Tool )

    Like moonlit said :

    There is no need to reformat anything, you can convert a FAT-volume to NTFS inline .

    (without loosing data .. unless you have a power-blackout . Removing the drive from the enclosure

    and attaching it to a real disk-controller in your PC will speed up the process at least 2X)

    How to Use Convert.exe to Convert a Partition to the NTFS File System

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314097

    Attempting to compress encrypted data with zip/rar is pointless, in fact you will most likely end up with

    something that takes up slightly more space .

    You can however use NTFS-compression on the mounted NTFS TC-volume with excellent results .

    Hi,

    I am trying to download the AMECO utility from the flashboot.ru site but it does not work. When I click the download button, I get the challenge and after entering the answer it shows a page in russian with publicity and then comes back to the utility description page. I never get the pop up to save the file. I tried all version of the AMECO MW6208 available but no go. http://translate.googleusercontent.com/tra...s-file-304.html

    Are others having the same issue at the moment?

    Thanks.

    You must allow java-script for both flashboot.ru & google-translate (and possibly even the evil-cookie-of-eternity).

    At least that fixed it for me :)

    Maybe your chip is a later revision ?

    These are the 2 latest (available?) AMECO-tools for 8208 :

    Ameco MW6208E 8208 1.2.0.6 20090608 (UdTools v1.2.0.6)

    http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=e...3Fname%3Diflash

    Ameco MW6208E 8208 1.2.0.8 20090724 (UdTools v1.2.0.8)

    http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=e...3Fname%3Diflash

    (the download only works if you allow java-script for google-translate,

    otherwise you will have to download from the Cyrillic-alphabet page .. )

    Usually the latest version works on all previous chip-revisions.

    EDIT :

    Device Name: ++[F:][G:]+USB Mass Storage Device(CBM USB 2.0 USB Device)(CBM USB 2.0 USB Device)

    Hmmmm....

    CBM is usually an abbreviation for ChipsBank, another chip-manufacturer .

    Best way to identify a controller is to disassemble the drive and read the markings on the chip.

    While you are inside, take note of the markings on the NAND to ..

    Here are the error-codes the USBest-tool throws :

    0x10 Disk can't be formated as the selected file system
0x11 Disk mounted flash chips doesn't match the setting 
0x12 Disk size doesn't match the setting 
0x13 Disk is write-protected

    0x12 Disk size doesn't match the setting

    Seems like there is a wrong setting somewhere in all the options .

    The other drive, I have no idea what it really is.. rip it apart if you can and read the markings

    on the chip, it's the only way to identify the controller to a reasonable degree of certainty

    as it will identify itself as whatever someone told it to !!

    First, try UFDUtility v 3.2.1.0 , it's the original consumer-application for USBest-controllers

    and allows you to do most of the things the MPT does ( It can't flip the RMB )

    Go to "Autorun manager" and check "Single Partition" :

    http://www.mediafire.com/file/yzvzqmg2z3z/UFDUtility.7z

    If that doesn't do it :

    Please define "nothing happens" :)

    Do any of the MPT's you tried even see the device or anything,

    indicated by the first port turning blue in the UI?

    (press F3 to enumerate USB-ports, this tool doesn't autoscan)

    Some general advice for working with MPT :

    Disconnect other USB-devices, especially composite, some MPT install a modified USB-driver,

    it might get confused by other devices .

    Only insert the UFD after the MPT has started and the driver loaded,

    do not access the device with any other programs !

    Obviously, you need admin-rights and loading of unsigned drivers must be allowed,

    AntiVirus and other security-software should not be allowed to interfere and

    XP Pro is still better than Vista/win7 for this task .

    Removing Clickfree partition

    Try : "Devicemanager/%your device%/properties/details"

    or Nirsofts USBDeview http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html ( highly recommended!! )

    You can convert the HEX with windows calc :

    In Microsoft Windows, the Calculator utility can be set to scientific calculator mode, which allows conversions between radix 16 (hexadecimal), 10 (decimal), 8 (octal) and 2 (binary); the bases most commonly used by programmers. In Scientific Mode, the on-screen numeric keypad includes the hexadecimal digits A through F which are active when "Hex" is selected. The Windows Calculator however only supports integers.

    So far, you can't remove it, there are no known working tools floating around for newer HDD with CD-ROM ..

    It's likely a Toshiba/Fujitsu HDD, somebody will have to bug them with enough support-requests to make them release the tool .

    Note : The clickfree software has a autoupdate-feature, this suggests that it can at least write to the CD-ROM.

    There must be some software capable of "talking" with the controller stuffed away on that CD-ROM..

    Edit :

    This works for some people :

    You may have to add the VID-PID of your device in the .ini.file .

    Google is useless if you use the words "toshiba" and/or "PH3100U-1EXB",

    all you get is 10.000 mongers wanting to push one of these things :(

    ( please provide a link to the software you tried (Shd2cdhd.exe) )

    Taking the thing apart could probably reveal something interesting but it will void your warranty, so ....

    What is on that CD-ROM besides the backup-software ? Can the software be updated ?

    If you are lucky the tool is somewhere on the CD-ROM (like it was with U3)..

    If none of that works you will need to extract as much info as possible from the device and use that to search

    for non-commercial links .. most likely the tool is on some Chinese geek-board .

    Spoof As USB CD-ROM

    in USB Multipass

    Posted

    The CD-ROM isn't "spoofed", it IS a USB CD-drive

    (except for the motor, the laser, the plastic-disk and all the other mechanical crap)..

    Some BIOS will boot from it, some wont :(

    http://wiki.hak5.org/wiki/Talk:Memorex_U3_ISO_Hack

    A few controllers have something called "single-disk autorun"allowing you to turn the entire device into a USB CD-ROM

    without any mass-storage device, that might help with some BIOS ..

    www.flashboot.ru is your friend when you need tools to load the ISO to non-sandisk UFD's ..
