"Cisco Systems' security team announced Friday some of the company's firewall customers have been hacked using a vulnerability exposed by the Shadow Brokers group.
One of the Equation group's exploits, dubbed BENIGNCERTAIN, exploited a vulnerability in legacy Cisco PIX firewalls and inspired Cisco's security team to search for similar flaws in other devices.
The new exploit was named BENIGNCERTAIN and its made up of three binary codes. Each code can be exploited to obtain RSA private key data and VPN configurations details if exploited.
The new vulnerability is based on the BENIGNCERTAIN exploit leaked in the Shadow Brokers' dump last month, which affected Cisco's legacy PIX firewall line.
The latest vulnerability targeting all Cisco IOS and PIX is called "BENIGNCERTAIN" and consists of three binaries, each of which is a separate step in the exploit process, which can be leveraged by attackers to acquire VPN configuration and RSA private ...
A third exploit, BenignCertain, affects legacy Cisco PIX firewalls that are no longer supported. Cisco investigated the exploit and said only versions 6.x and earlier of the PIX software are affected.
Last week, the company issued an advisory confirming that the BenignCertain exploit affects 6.x and earlier versions of Cisco's PIX firewall products.
A third exploit, BenignCertain, affects legacy Cisco PIX firewalls that are no longer supported. Cisco investigated the exploit and said only versions 6.x and earlier of the PIX software are affected.
A third exploit, BenignCertain, affects legacy Cisco PIX firewalls that are no longer supported. Cisco investigated the exploit and said only versions 6.x and earlier of the PIX software are affected.
One target of an Equation Group attack tool - named BENIGNCERTAIN - are Cisco PIX devices. But intelligence agencies are not the only ones targeting vulnerable equipment.
Meanwhile, legacy Cisco PIX security appliances may be vulnerable to a different tool. Some 15,000 PIX devices, built from at least 2002 to 2008, still remain in use, mostly in Russia; Cisco says the BENIGNCERTAIN tool impacts "PIX versions 6.x and prior.
In reality, the NSA, and now anyone who downloads the malware, can leverage this so-called BENIGNCERTAIN exploit to steal the passwords to these firewalls and thus spy on all supposedly secure traffic running through them, according to a recent article ...
Late last week, researcher Mustafa Al-Bassam tackled a another Equation Group exploit in the dump called BENIGNCERTAIN. This one targets Cisco PIX firewalls that are no longer supported by the company.
But in recent days, researchers have made a new discovery: An exploit called BENIGNCERTAIN allowed the NSA to decrypt any traffic being handled by Cisco PIX devices - including devices set to function as VPNs - from at least 2002 to 2008, according to ...
The discovery is significant because the attack code, dubbed BenignCertain, worked on PIX versions Cisco released in 2002 and supported through 2009.
Security researcher Mustafa Al-Bassam first documented the hacking tool, which uses the codename BENIGNCERTAIN, in a blog post published Thursday.
BenignCertain, questo il nome del programma usato per l'attacco, sfrutta un baco del Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (usato sui comuni firewall PIX 6.X di Cisco distribuiti dal 2002 al 2009 e su altri firewall): un utente poteva autenticarsi senza ...
