Researchers find exploits for popular game engines, putting both clients and servers at risk

• Researchers from ReVuln have found various flaws in a number of different video game engines including the Unreal3 Engine, the Quake4 (IDTech4) Engine and CryEngine3
• These vulnerabilities work against a large array of games because the same or slightly modified engines are used in many different titles
• The exploits vary, some allow the attacker to compromise the game server with remote code execution (see video, latter portion shows the attacker remotely starting windows calc.exe on the game server)
• The exploits also allow the servers to be used in denial of service attacks, or to make the servers attack each other, or the master server (from which clients get a list of game servers to connect to)
• Some exploits also attack the client

Reporters accused of hacking for using wget to download files found via a google search

• Investigative Journalists from the Scripps Howard News Service were investigate TerraCom and YourTel America, specifically their participation in the US government’s ‘lifeline’ service, which provides telephone service to low-income families
• While doing a google search, the journalists found records stored on a server belonging to Call Centers India Inc., which was working under contract with VCare Inc, which had been hired by TerraCom to verify the eligibility of applicants
• A second google search revealed that more than 44,000 applications had been indexed by google, these applications include sensitive personal information and supporting documentation such as:
  • Social Security numbers
• Birth dates
• Home addresses
• Scanned copies of passports and driver’s license
• Financial accounts
• Tax records
• An identity thief would only dream of finding such a treasure trove
• The information appears to have just been dumped into web-accessible directories on a public facing web server, which google eventually found
• The journalists used wget to bulk-download the data
• The journalists then contacted TerraCom to report the exposed data, and were promptly accused of ‘hacking’, and threatened charges under the ‘Computer Fraud and Abuse Act’
• The data was pulled offline within hours
• In a statement on TerraComs website the company claims to have been the victim of a security breach, even though this seem more like a case of negligence
• In a statement, a legal representative for Scripps said “in the process of gathering newsworthy information, the bureau accessed – via a basic Internet search – personal and confidential information that apparently is available to anyone with a computer, an outlet and access to electricity. The search required no special skill and in no way ‘hacked’ or illegally accessed any server or database operated by TerraCom or any other company”

Google plans to replace all of their SSL certificate keys with 2048 bit keys by the end of 2013

• As computers get more powerful, the possibility of someone managing to crack a specific cryptographic key grows and it becomes time to increase the strength of those cryptographic systems by using longer keys
• As such, Google plans to replace all of their 1024 bit SSL keys with stronger 2048 bit keys, starting August 1st and finishing before the end of the year
• Most SSL Certificate Authorities has not issued new certificates with keys less than 2048 bits since the CA/Browser forum published “Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management of Publicly-Trusted Certificates v1.0” which requires that any certificate issued after 2013–12–31 use a 2048 bit key
• In addition, The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) issued “NIST Special Publication 800–57, Recommendation for Key Management”. In which they advise that 1024-bit RSA keys are no longer be viable (after 2010) and advises moving to 2048-bit RSA keys. NIST believes that 2048-bit keys should be viable until 2030.
• Google has a number of recommendations to people who implement SSL, to ensure that these changes do not disrupt services or devices, mostly they recommend against using ugly hacks, or assuming anything about the way Google does SSL

Show Notes:

2013 Russian Meteorite Strike

• Why didn\’t we \”See it coming?\”
• NASA’s Near Earth Object Program and other skywatchers track thousands of larger asteroids, with smaller asteroids nearly impossible to track
• There are probably about 100 million asteroids about it\’s size with about 100,000 being Near Earth Objects
• Only one space rock that impacted the planet has ever been observed before it hit the Earth, a day before it exploded over Sudan.
• Most meteorites that do hit the Earth tend to be smaller, and reflect only a couple percent of the light that hits them, and ones of this size have to be very close to be able to spot them with telescopic surveys
• What Was Seen
• On February 15, 2013 at 9:20 am (0320 GMT), an object was observed above Chelyabinsk which flew by at great speed and left a trail behind. Within two minutes there were two bangs,\” regional emergencies official said
• It traveled through the atmosphere for about 30 seconds before breaking apart and producing violent airburst ‘explosion’ about 20-14 km (12-15 miles) above Earth’s surface
• Measurements Coming In
• On February 16 NASA revised it\’s measurements to about 55 feet (17 m) wide — with the power of the blast estimate of about 500 kilotons, 30 kilotons higher than before
• Updated mass measurements estimated about 10,000 tons and was travelling 40,000 mph (64,373 km/h) when it exploded
• New estimates were generated using new data that had been collected by five additional infrasound stations located around the world
• The first recording of the event being in Alaska, over 6,500 kilometers away, infrasound stations detect low-frequency sound waves that accompany exploding meteors, known as bolides
• The Power
• The explosion had the equivalent of up to 500,000 tons of TNT
• About 30 times the energy output of the Hiroshima atomic bomb
• Only 5 percent of the energy of the famous 1908 Tunguska meteor that downed trees over a 2,000-square-kilometer area in Siberia
• Damage on the Ground
• At least 300 buildings were damaged including schools, hospitals, a zinc factory and even an ice hockey stadium
• In the area of damage there are huge facilities that include a nuclear power plant and the massive Mayak atomic waste storage and treatment centre
• Radiation levels in the region also did not change and that 20,000 rescue workers had been dispatched to help the injured and locate those requiring help

Dark Matter Announcement Coming



• Dark Matter
• The dark matter theory was born 80 years ago when Swiss astrophysicist Fritz Zwicky discovered that there was not enough mass in observable stars or galaxies to allow the force of gravity to hold them together
• The Standard Model only accounts for only around four or five percent of the stuff in the Universe that we see
• It could be useful for identifying the stable of particles and forces that regulate our daily life, the Standard Model only tells part of the cosmic story
• Dark matter, could make up 23 percent, and dark energy, an enigmatic force that appears to drive the expansion of the Universe, could accounts for around 72 or 73 percent
• Some physics theories suggest that dark matter is made of WIMPS (weakly interacting massive particles), a class of particles that are their own antimatter partner particles
• When matter and antimatter partners meet, they annihilate each other, so if two WIMPs collided, they would be destroyed, releasing a pair of daughter particles – an electron and its antimatter counterpart, the positron, in the process
• Although we can not explain gravity, although we know how to measure gravity and exploit it for our needs
• Announcement Coming Up
• In about two weeks the first paper of results of the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, a particle collector mounted on the outside of the International Space Station, will be published
• Researchers have said that the results bear on the mystery of dark matter, that \”It will not be a minor paper\” and that they rewrote the paper 30 times before they were satisfied with it
• Even with this tease for a \’major announcement\’ scientists still say it represents a \”small step\” in figuring out what dark matter is, and perhaps not the final answer
• Tracking Cosmic Particles
• To track these phantom particles, physicists rely on several methods and tools
• The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva, the biggest particle smasher in the world
• The South Pole Neutrino Observatory, tracks subatomic particles known as neutrinos, which, according to physicists, are created when dark matter passes through the Sun and interacts with protons
• The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) aboard the International Space Station (ISS), captures gamma rays coming from collisions of dark matter particles.
• Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer
• Has the potential to detect the positrons and electrons produced by dark matter annihilations in the Milky Way
• It was installed on the International Space Station in May 2011, and so far, it has detected 25 billion particle events, including about 8 billion electrons and positrons
• This will first science paper from this instrument that will report how many of each were found, and what their energies are
• If the experiment detected an abundance of positrons peaking at a certain energy, that could indicate a detection of dark matter,
• What it Might Mean for What We Might Find
• There is a lot of stuff that can mimic dark matter,\”
• If the experiment detected an abundance of positrons peaking at a certain energy, that could indicate a detection of dark matter,
• While electrons are abundant in the universe around us, there are fewer known processes that could give rise to positrons
• The smoking gun signature is a rise and then a dramatic fall\” in the number of positrons with respect to energy
• The positrons produced by dark matter annihilation would have a very specific energy, depending on the mass of the WIMPs making up dark matter
• Another telling sign will be the question of whether positrons appear to be coming from one direction in space, or from all around
• If they\’re from dark matter, scientists expect them to be spread evenly through space, but if they\’re created by some normal astrophysical process, such as a star explosion, then they would originate in a single direction
• Regardless of whether AMS has found dark matter yet, the scientists said they expected the question of dark matter\’s origin to become clearer soon

Lightning and Headaches

• The New Study
• A new study has found a 31 percent increase of the risk of headache and a 28 percent increased risk of migraine for chronic headache sufferers on days that lightning struck within 25 miles (40 kilometers) of their homes
• In addition new-onset headaches and migraines increased by 24 percent and 23 percent, respectively
• The Correlation
• This is the first study to show a correlation between lightning and associated weather phenomena and the squalls in our heads
• How exactly lightning might trigger headaches is still unknown but there are a number of possible explanations
• Electromagnetic waves emitted from lightning could trigger headaches
• Another explanation might be that lightning produces increases in air pollutants like ozone, and can cause release of fungal spores that might lead to migraine
• Still Unknown
• This study does show an apparent link between lightning and headaches; however, the exact mechanisms through which lightning and/or its associated meteorologic factors trigger headache is still unknown

The February 15th Asteroid Fly-By



• The low down
• On Friday, Feb. 15, the asteroid 2012 DA 14 roughly half a football field came well inside the orbit of even communication and weather satellites in geosynchronous orbit
• It is the closest known approach to Earth for an object its size
• It came within an altitude of 27,700 kilometers (17,200 miles). That is some 8000 km (5000 miles) inside the ring of geosynchronous satellites
• The asteroid posed no danger to the Space Station crew and they had no chance to observe it
• Although no NASA space-based assets were making measurements because it was moving so fast
• Radar astronomers did plan to take images around eight hours after the flyby using the Goldstone antenna in California’s Mojave Desert

CERN, the Higgs-Boson, and Upgrades



• Upgrades
• Over the past three years, CERN has slammed protons together more than six million billion times
• Now seven months after the discovery announcement for a Boson, which they are now 99.9 percent certain is the Higgs-Boson, CERN scientists have brought CERN offline for an 18-month upgrade
• The upgrade will boost the LHC\’s energy capacity, essential for CERN to confirm definitively that its boson is the Higgs, and allow it to probe new dimensions such as supersymmetry and dark matter
• The Data
• Scientists still have vasts amount of data to comb through during this downtime,
• Even with the shutdown, CERN\’s researchers won\’t be taking a breather, as they must trawl through a vast mound of data
• They expect that they will have much more information about the data from the last three years, and once they are able to go back through the data they will probably have more questions, some of which will lead to more tests under the new upgrades
• What’s to Come
• In 2011 the LHC has able to achieve collisions with an energy level of seven teraelectron volts
• During 2012 CERN was able to increase to eight teraelectron volts
• When it comes back online in 2015 after the upgrades are completed they will be able to achieve 13-14
• It is expected that CERN will then run at those conditions for three to four years before more upgrades are installed

— SPACECRAFT UPDATE—

Space Station Communication



• NASA\’s Mission Control center in Houston lost communication with the International Space Station at 9:45 a.m. ET (1445 GMT). [19 Feb 2013]
• They restored contact with the space station at 12:34 p.m. ET (17:34 GMT),
• A NASA official said \”Flight controllers were in the process of updating the station’s command and control software and were transitioning from the primary computer to the backup computer to complete the software load when the loss of communication occurred,\”
• A main data relay system malfunctioned, and the computer that controls the station\’s critical functions switched to a backup
• \”Mission Control Houston was able to communicate with the crew as the space station flew over Russian ground stations before 11:00 a.m. EST and instructed the crew to connect a backup computer to begin the process of restoring communications,\”
• This is not the first time Mission Control has lost direct communication with the orbiting science laboratory
• In 2010, the space station briefly lost communication with the ground when a primary computer failed and the backup had to take over. Communications were out for about one hour before NASA restored the connection

— CURIOSITY UPDATE —

• Drilling
• Scientists were able to place the arm safely and drill vertically down into the rock to collect as much sample as possible
• The gray tailing tells us that there\’s something different about the inside of this rock than the surface of the rock
• A day after NASA\’s Mars rover Curiosity drilled the first sample-collection hole into a rock on Mars, the rover\’s Chemistry and Camera (ChemCam) instrument shot laser pulses into the fresh rock powder that the drilling generated
• In the coming weeks, one of the things they are trying to do with this first hole is to use this gray powder that we collect to clean the internal surfaces of the drill.

SCIENCE CALENDAR

Looking back

• February, 20 1962 : 51 years ago : Glenn in orbit : John Glenn piloted the Mercury-Atlas 6 Friendship 7 spacecraft on the first U.S. manned orbital mission. [The first manned orbital flight was Yu. Gagarin on the the Vostok 1 on 12 April 1961]
  Launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, he completed three-orbits around the earth, at a maximum altitude of approx. 162 miles and an orbital velocity of approx. 17,500 mph. He spotted Perth, Australia, when that city\’s residents greeted him by switching on their house lights in unison. A four-cent U.S. stamp was put on sale the same day, making it the first U.S. stamp issued on the day of the event it commemorated. Glenn returned to space 36 years later, making 134 more orbits as a crew member of the space shuttle Discovery (29 Oct – 7 Nov 1998) for investigations on space flight and the aging process.

Looking up this week

• Keep an eye out for …
• Mercury | Evening Twilight | Low in the W-SW it will be the brightest object in that part of the sky
• Mars | Sunset | Getting harder to see and moving farther to Mercury\’s lower right
• Jupiter | Starts in the S at dusk, moving to the SW and setting around 1-2am

• Saturn | ~11-12 pm local | moving to the high southern skies by dawn

“Hi Chris Michael,

Just wondering what your thoughts are on learning/doing desktop apps compared to say web apps. Where do you see the shift or direction in programming going? Do you see more options for website/internet programming (Ruby,Perl, ASP, Javascript etc. ) or is it better to learn a system \”desktop application\” type language such as (Python, C#, Java etc.)

Is Desktop applications still a worthwhile cause?

Thank you for the tips and knowledge.

After a string of high profile Cyberattacks we could be witnessing the creation of the next generation military industrial complex. Or is President Obama desperately seeking to protect us from same the types of Cyber weapons we’ve attacked other nations with?

Nobody celebrates National Cybersecurity Awareness Month like the US government.

Plus: We start in the United States, which is facing a dramatic “Fiscal Cliff”. We’ll break down exactly what that term means, how it will impact you, and when the supposed deadline is.

Then from Libya to Spain we’ll focus on the important events that developed this week around the world.

And: The first presidential debates have just wrapped, we reflect on a few moments, and play a few of our favorite clips.

All that and a heck of a lot more, on this week’s Unfilter!
