4G and CDMA

4G and CDMA reportedly hacked at DEF CON

At the DEF CON 19 hacking conference, which took place between August 4 and 7, it seems that a full man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack was successfully launched against all 4G and CDMA transmissions in and around the venue, the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas. This MITM attack enabled hackers to gain permanent kernel-level root access in some Android and PC devices using a rootkit, and non-persistent user space access in others. In both cases, whoever launched this attack on CDMA and 4G devices was able to steal data and monitor conversations.

For now the only evidence that such an attack occurred is the report of Coderman on the Full Disclosure mailing list. Coderman seems to be a relative veteran of security and open source mailing lists, though, and he says he has attended six DEF CONs. If he’s telling the truth, then this attack would represent the first ever man-in-the-middle attacks on two networks that have so far proven to be unhackable. For the ailing and nigh-stillborn CDMA this isn’t such a huge issue — but if 4G has fallen, just as AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and cellular companies around the world begin to plow huge dollars into its roll out, this could be a massive blow.

Coderman’s report suggests that, like Wi-Fi MITM, which regularly harasses surfers at DEF CONs and other hacker conventions, the attackers were able to inject custom packets into the 4G and CDMA data stream. These forged packets allowed the attackers to create on-screen prompts that, if clicked, installed a rootkit on the PC or Android device. If you’ve seen “fake AV” pop-ups while surfing the web, then that’s a good analogy for what this man-in-the-middle attack is capable of. Once the rootkit (or similar backdoor) is installed, it’s simply a matter of connecting to the exploited device via SSH. Coderman says the attackers could also monitor conversations, which suggests that not only can packets be injected, but they can also be sniffed and decoded in real-time.

Without more information from Coderman, another savvy DEF CON hacker, or from the hackers themselves, it’s hard to prove that this attack actually occurred. It’s still very early days, too — Coderman only posted his findings to the mailing list a few hours ago — but if we see some more activity on the mailing lists or a reaction from a cellular carrier with an interest in 4G, then we’ll be sure to update this story. It’s also worth pointing out that we don’t know which version of 4G has been hacked. HSDPA, WiMAX, and LTE all use different transport layers and security methods, and the repercussions will depend on which one has fallen.

USB Power charge your laptop

USB Power Delivery: charge your laptop (or power a LCD monitor) via USB 2.0 and 3.0

With a move that proves that the USB Implementers Forum is more than a little scared of Thunderbolt, a new specification for delivering up to 100 watts of power over USB 2.0 and 3.0 is being drawn up. A technical demonstration of the technology is expected towards the end of 2011 and the specification should be ratified and codified by the beginning of 2012. In other words, developers and OEMs will be able to get their hands on cheap, cheerful, and commoditized power-over-USB parts just as Apple’s exclusive distribution rights for Thunderboltdry up in spring 2012.

As you’re probably aware, you can already power/charge devices such as smartphones and tablets over USB, but because the current specification only allows for 5 volts @ 0.9 amps, the max power draw is only 4.5 watts; i.e. not much. This new specification, called USB Power Delivery, allows for voltage and ampage to be negotiated by the host and device up to a maximum of 100 watts, using existing cables and connectors. Thunderbolt, by comparison, carries a maximum of just 10 watts.

100 watts, in case you were wondering, is more than enough to power almost any kind of peripheral, including external displays, printers, hard drives, or even other computers. Before you boggle at the harebrained idea of charging a laptop with another laptop, however, get this: USB Power Delivery will be capable of operating in both directions. Yes, if OEMs allow it, this new specification could finally usher in a new age of standardized computer power connectors. You could also charge a laptop from your desktop, or perhaps power a ViDock-like eGPU. One USB cable to rule them all…

Of course the main problem is the size and strength of batteries in laptops and netbooks. Modern laptops like the MacBook Pro have batteries that are capable of providing around 80 watts for an hour, which equates to a few hours of up-time. Plug a 50-watt external LCD monitor into it, however, and you’ll be flat in under an hour. Having more amps on tap does mean that you’ll be able to quick-charge your smartphone, tablet, or Kindle from your laptop or desktop, though.

Ultimately, then, 100W-over-USB is likely to simplify cabling in much the same way as Thunderbolt, and perhaps provide a few innovative use cases along the way. There’s no reason that a computer couldn’t have both Thunderbolt and powered-USB sockets, too: USB for connecting to the grid and quick charging of peripherals, and Thunderbolt for hi-fi audiovisual gear and exorbitantly expensive add-ons like the Thunderbolt Display.

What’s This? Turn your head upsidedown to find out…

No, it isn’t a Halo-type Ringworld seen from the side: it’s actually the Space Shuttle Atlantis’ Orbiter Boom Sensor System (OBSS) with a stunning backdrop of Earth and Aurora Australis. Here the OBSS is being grappled by the Canadarm, the Shuttle’s main mechanical arm which it uses to deploy and maneuver payloads like the Hubble Space Telescope. The OBSS was a fairly new addition to the now-retired Shuttle fleet and was tasked with checking the hull and heat shielding for damage before returning to Earth.

Aurora australis is another beast entirely. You’ve probably heard of aurora borealis, the “Northern Lights” that can be seen from within the Arctic Circle during the summer and winter equinoxes — and aurora australis is basically identical, but only visible from the southern hemisphere. There isn’t much land in the higher southern latitudes, and the only places you can really see aurora australis are from the southern most parts of Australia, New Zealand, South America, the Antarctic… and space!

The photo itself is taken from the International Space Station, and you can see some of its solar panels in the top left corner.

Technology 1, distracted drivers 0: Volvo City Safety cuts accidents by 27%

Here’s proof that technology really does make driving safer: Volvos equipped with the automaker’s City Safety collision avoidance system are in 27% fewer accidents than comparable vehicles. That’s a huge reduction, says the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI). City Safety is a Volvo-exclusive (at least for now in the US) laser that watches the road one car-length ahead from the vantage point of the rear view mirror. If it sees a slow or stopped car ahead, it jams on the brakes. At closing-speed differences of 9 mph or less, it avoids accidents outright; at up to 19 mph, it reduces their severity. More than 18 feet ahead, or at speeds of 20 mph and faster, City Safety doesn’t operate, nor does it stop for smaller targets (people, animals).

City Safety is standard on Volvo XC60s since 2010, on Volvo S60 sedans since 2011, and is on 2012 model S80 sedans and XC70 wagons. It kicks in so quickly that there’s no time, or need, to warn the driver in advance. The vigorous braking (50% of maximum braking force) acts as a real-time alert that pitches the driver forward, but not so violently he or she would hit the steering wheel or dash. Just in case, an indicator in the instrument panel flashes to indicate City Safety was in effect.

Volvo says City Safety is tuned so you can maneuver around parked cars without City Safety engaging and you can also override it by pressing harder on the accelerator. The only driver option is to turn it off temporarily; the next time the car starts, City Safety is back on. The scanner is an invisible infrared radar — lidar — so oncoming motorists don’t see a beam of light shooting down the highway and wonder if Martians are landing. It works day or night but its effectiveness might be hampered by really intense rain or snow (it only has to see 18 feet ahead). And it isn’t foolproof. In a demo for the media in 2010, an XC60 with a dummy (no jokes) behind the wheel slammed into the back of a truck. But that may be the exception that proves the rule of City Safety’s effectiveness.

The HLDI generated all manner of statistics to show how the first Volvo with City Safety, the XC60 crossover/SUV, stacked up against other midsize luxury SUVs and to other Volvos. Compared to other SUVs, there were 27% fewer property damage claims and 51% fewer bodily injury liability claims. Oddly, the average XC60 property claim was $270 higher than other SUVs and $646 higher than other Volvos. And that’s a good thing. Good? “Although it may seem counterintuitive,” says Matthew Moore, HLDI VP and director of the study, “higher payouts for property damage liability are a sign that City Safety works.” XC60 owners were filing fewer fender-bender claims (under $1,500), so the average cost of the claims filed by XC60 owners — $3,058 — was 10% higher than for other midsize luxury SUVs and 27% higher than for other Volvos. Overall, the pot of insurance money paid out to Volvo XC60 owners was down. HLDI compared the XC60 against other Volvos as well as competing luxury midsize SUVs because of the widespread belief that Volvo drivers for whatever reason — kids in the back, superior driving skills, afraid to drive fast, tendency to vote Democratic — might be safer even without City Safety. And that was borne out somewhat: The XC60 had 27% fewer property damage liability claims than other midsize SUVs, 19% fewer claims than other Volvos.

City Safety was designed by Germany’s Continental AG. It’s a non-exclusive license and some Fords in Europe have a version as well, according to Automotive News, but Ford hasn’t brought it to America yet.

There are also high-speed variants — loose variants — of what Volvo does with City Safety. Typically these forward collision warning systems (FCWS) are on cars with radar-based adaptive cruise control(ACC) that costs $1,000-$3,000. ACC is cruise control on steroids: You set the speed and if a car ahead slows down, you slow down, then speed up when it’s clear again. All FCWS cars warn that you’re closing too fast and might hit the moving vehicle in front. Some brake automatically. The others just scare the hell out of you when the dashboard lights up, you hear loud beeps, and you need to react. (Nuclear power plants should have such warning lights.) Nineteen automakers currently offer forward collision warning systems:

• Acura – Collision mitigation brake system (auto braking)
• Audi – Braking guard w/Pre Sense (auto braking), Braking guard
• BMW – Collision warning system (auto braking)
• Cadillac – Forward collision alert
• Chrysler – Forward collision warning
• Dodge – Forward collision warning
• Ford – Collision warning with brake support
• Hyundai – Pre-collision warning
• Infiniti – Forward collision warning (auto braking)
• Jaguar – Forward alert
• Jeep – Forward collision warning
• Land Rover – Forward alert
• Lexus – Pre-collision system, advanced pre-collision (auto braking for both)
• Lincoln – Collision warning with brake support
• Mercedes-Benz – Distronic Plus (auto braking), Distronic
• Porsche – Forward collision warning
• Rolls Royce – Forward collision warning
• Toyota – Pre-collision system (auto braking)
• Volvo – Collision warning with auto brake (auto braking)

The value of City Safety goes beyond the obvious reduction in accidents. It shows automotive high tech can be good for you and your well-being. More than a few critics, including Luddites who freak at the idea of microprocessors and iPods invading the automotive realm, believe technology that assists drivers lets them less aware. Why worry about staying centered in your lane when lane departure warning will alert you and the more advanced lane keep assist nudges you back in place? HLDI and the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS) plan a report on the effectiveness for the forward collision warning systems.

So if accidents go down, Volvo XC60 owners are paying less for insurance, right? That isn’t clear. The IIHS report didn’t speculate on what would be a reasonable rate reduction. HLDI is the information-gathering arm of the IIHS, in turn funded by the nation’s auto insurers. They are tasked with tracking auto accidents with an eye toward improving safety and lowering costs or (opposing view) sucking all the fun out of driving and keeping as much money as possible in insurers’ pockets. The IIHS, for instance, never met a red light camera it didn’t like. The July 19 issue of the IIHS Status Reportnewsletter that covered Volvo City Safety also devoted two pages to describing cities where polls seem to show driver support for red light cameras. It’s generally agreed that red light cameras cut T-bone collisions but at the cost of more panic-brake-or-I’ll-get-ticketed rear-end collisions (the kind that City Safety might reduce). The IIHS also doesn’t mention sweetheart deals that divert more of the ticket revenue to the private camera operators than municipalities. Towns that say they adopted red light cameras for safety reasons (“it’s not about the revenue”) often kick them out for not generating enough money.
