Cars, Security and a Peek into my Life
Like the 2nd floor of a mall.
What about using using a real camera, instead of a phone?
And know how, while typing, the letters get larger?
HD video camera > zoom > record > play it back slowly > get password
Back to the wall when entering passwords, and look up first, everyone forgets to look up.
Patient is shown to a private room.
They are instructed to change, then left alone to do so.
The desk is bumped, the mouse moves, and the screen comes to life.
It’s displaying the doctor’s daily schedule.
1 – Patient Name – Age – Reason (!) – Note – Other Doctors – Insurance
There’s 30 listings like this.
2 – the yellow is a name highlighted, which displays the below information:
3 – Patient phone number
Another example screen.
4 – Billing screen
Medical offices – protect your patient’s privacy, and put a password on all computers. Ideally it’s 15 characters strong, uses numbers, characters and letters, and is changed regularly.

Wanting to make it easy for guests, a hotel lobby WiFi network is usually left open and unsecured, no password required.
A lobby is a target rich environment – the people using hotel WiFi are often booking travel plans, making reservations, using their credit card. Plus, it’s easy to blend into a lobby, and not look out of place sitting for a long time with a laptop.
The robot will try all possible 4-digit passwords on an iPhone.
Seen at Black Hat 2013.
It’s not elegant, but it would work. Grab a phone off the street, return to a secure location, put it under the robot, wait.
You’d need a location though, and time. And it’d be a targeted attack; you’d be after the information on the phone, not the phone itself. Otherwise, just wipe it.
– turn OFF simple passcode. Then you can have a longer passcode, with alphanumeric characters
– turn ON “after 10 failed password attempts this iPhone will wipe itself”
– don’t use any of these – Most Common iPhone Passwords
– hang onto your phone tight, but not like this this
Sorry, that’s all I know; saw it en route to the car hacking talk.
So if this robot belongs to you, email me and I’ll link you up, and any explanation you’d like to add.
WarDriving – the act of searching for Wi-Fi networks from a moving vehicle, driven by someone interested in mapping the locations of Wireless Access Points (WAPs)
Lists are totalled: how many WiFis are locked, unlocked? What’s yours?
Contrary to its name, wardriving is a relaxed style of driving … when you get down to it, wardriving is actually pretty boring. But the information it yields is not.
They used my collage! Love when that happens.
That’s 3 now (Stick Families are a Terrible Idea, and More Decorum, Please).
Read all my columns here. I started August 2012.
I have great news – as of today, my columns are now published on Autonet.ca! Until now, they printed and that was it, gone.
As a professional documenter, oh the anxiety that created.
