War Texting : Hackers Unlock Car Doors Via SMS

Jul 28, 2011
War Texting : Hackers Unlock Car Doors Via SMS Don Bailey and Mathew Solnik, Two hackers have found a way to unlock cars that use remote control and telemetry systems like BMW Assist, GM OnStar, Ford Sync, and Hyundai Blue Link. These systems communicate with the automaker's remote servers via standard standard mobile networks like GSM and CDMA — and with a clever bit of reverse engineering, the hackers were able to pose as these servers and communicate directly with a car's on-board computer via " war texting " — a riff on "war driving," the act of finding open wireless networks. Don Bailey and Mathew Solnik, both employees of iSEC Partners, will deliver their findings at next week's Black Hat USA conference in Las Vegas in a briefing entitled " War Texting: Identifying and Interacting with Devices on the Telephone Network. " The exact details of the attack won't be disclosed until the affected manufacturers have had a chance to fix their systems, and the hackers are not expected ...

Between Buzz and Reality: The CTEM Conversation We All Need

Jun 24, 2025Threat Exposure Management
I had the honor of hosting the first episode of the Xposure Podcast live from Xposure Summit 2025. And I couldn't have asked for a better kickoff panel: three cybersecurity leaders who don't just talk security, they live it. Let me introduce them. Alex Delay , CISO at IDB Bank, knows what it means to defend a highly regulated environment. Ben Mead , Director of Cybersecurity at Avidity Biosciences, brings a forward-thinking security perspective that reflects the innovation behind Avidity's targeted RNA therapeutics. Last but not least, Michael Francess , Director of Cybersecurity Advanced Threat at Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, leads the charge in protecting the franchise. Each brought a unique vantage point to a common challenge: applying Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) to complex production environments. Gartner made waves in 2023 with a bold prediction: organizations that prioritize CTEM will be three times less likely to be breached by 2026. But here's the kicker -...
Apache Log Extractor tool

Apache Log Extractor tool

Jul 28, 2011
Apache Log Extractor tool Apache Log Extractor is a quick script to export URL information from Apache access logs. The thought behind this script was to provide a list of known URL's on a remote server by analysing the logs. This list could then be used as the input for further testing tools e.g Burp Suite – Intruder . The script accepts an Apache access file as the input and creates an output file containing one URL per line. The list is unique and should only contain the URL without parameters (incomplete directory names are not extracted). It also takes these URLs and creates a wordlist output of all valid directoy names for use with brute-forcing tools. This fingerprinting tool can reduse the realm of password cracking. How to use ./apache_log_extractor.py access.log.1 Output [ ] Extracting URLs from logfile : access.log.1 [ ] Extracted URL : / [ ] Extracted URL : /Signed_Update.jar [ ] Extracted URL : /ajax/bottomnavinfo.ashx [ ] Extracted URL : /MetaAdServ...
