Insecurity Refactoring: Automated Injection of Vulnerabilities in Source Code
AbstractInsecurity Refactoring is a change to the internal structure of software to inject a vulnerability without changing the observable behavior in a normal use case scenario. An implementation of Insecurity Refactoring is formally explained to inject ...
The Insecurity of Wireless Networks
Wi-Fi is the standard protocol for wireless networks used extensively in US critical infrastructures. Since the Wired Equivalency Privacy (WEP) security protocol was broken, the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) protocol has been considered the secure ...
Insecurity of operational cellular IoT service: new vulnerabilities, attacks, and countermeasures
MobiCom '21: Proceedings of the 27th Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and NetworkingMore than 150 cellular networks worldwide have rolled out massive IoT services such as smart metering and environmental monitoring. Such cellular IoT services share the existing cellular network architecture with non-IoT (e.g., smartphone) ones. When ...

This study reveals that malicious software is widespread, and most users ignore the potential risks of using wireless networks for business transactions. Since wireless communication is exposed to an open environment, many wireless hacking tools can easily sniff the transmitted data and crack the encrypted passwords. The most effective way to avoid such risks is to strengthen the security policy and reinforce the staff's commitment to following the policy. Additionally, organizations need to measure and audit the vulnerability of the network. In general, this article presents some common insecure user behavior. The authors provide statistical data for systems with firewalls, detectable open ports, and other well-known vulnerabilities. Clear solutions for safe wireless network use are provided. Therefore, I recommend it. Online Computing Reviews Service
