Webcam and Printer can Make Security Risk?

May now be a moment forget the configuration of Apache and one of the weaknesses of Apple applications. Thus came the biggest threat to threaten the business and home network, via webcam facilities, printers and other devices that are usually required to interface the web. Web interface designed to simplify the device for which the user, to change these settings, such as file name, and IP addresses. However, the gadget valuable cheap never designed for an attack, walalupun gadget is already integrated with the computer network the most secure. It is submitted by the Stanford University research team that tested 21 devices that diuat from 16 different manufacturers.


While other devices that have the weakness of inter-network, among others, the network switch, router, photo frames, VoIP (Voice over Internet Porotocol), and LOM (Ligths of Management), remote system management server, and other network equipment. The invention of devices that are at risk of this with a few significant reasons. First, once terinfiltrasi with the attack, the device will continue the attack because the script 'evil' have been settled in the configuration page, the log device, and other pages. In fact, although the infected PC is clean, if the device is resumed, then it will continue to attack new victims. Furthermore, the network devices are generally not detected on the (invisible) by antivirus and other security programs.


Kedu reason is the number of electronic devices, such as webcam, printer and server or network equipment is growing to use website interface. For example, researchers found a web-based exploitation able to embed a 'ghost' in a photo frame model, which let user to use the Internet, and then change the image that is displayed from the remote. Then the photo frame device can be programmed by attacker to send a copy each of an image that is saved, and that is the attacker in the attack and possible device for stealing data.
