Top Brand "safe" Hacked USB flash drives

January 5, 2010, most major brands such as SanDisk, Kingston Verbatim flash drives and provide insurance, in addition to its extensive standard flash unit on the market. Secure flash drives promise to protect your data against hackers, viruses, water, earthquakes and other natural disasters. On January 5, 2010, it was reported a design defect, thus allowing an attacker to gain secure access to flash drives made by some of the biggest names in decisions flash memory. said it is possible to send a press "" Flag of devices that trigger to unlock thanks to the computer without the password defined by the user. Pen-Test GmbH German companies published iff a document highlighting defects. devices affected

The default is fairly simple. When the flash drive is securely connected to the computer, software with the flash drive is running on the computer, which authenticates the provided password and sends an "unlock" the flag unit. When analyzed under a debugger, the code simply results in a common "conditional jump" that can connect to unlock device. These implementations Security has been criticized for engineers reserves in the world and certainly raise questions about the design process flashes at risk. Many of the "cracks" software is based on the same technique to change the logic of the software implementation, which is easily visible with a good debugger, for example, and SoftIce OllyDbg. The fact of the demand for public users and many who bought these devices is that boasted of being certified to FIPS 140-2 Level 2 security validation of the organization of U.S. government NIST (target = "_blank"> National Institute of Standards and Technology). Iff OllyDbg GmbH used to change a flag in the software that accompanies the flash of Readers secure access to the unit without knowing the original password. Of course, this raises the question, how and why NIST certified relevant products and flash drives secure when they had such inherent defects in the design. NIST is of course the defense of his position and said

"From our initial analysis, it appears that the software that allows the decryption, instead of certified by NIST Cryptographic Module is the source of this vulnerability "

Yes, of course.

"However, we consider active if changes in the certification process must be NIST made in the light of this issue. "

NIST certification refers cryptographic modules to encrypt and decrypt the information contained in the device. As lovers of security of tenure, if you put the encryption module safest behind the implementations of insecurity, the result is a system of total insecurity. For secure flash drives, it is quite annoying to see how major manufacturers are not what your product promised. As demonstrated by this flaw, consumers media have been a misperception of certificates issued by large organizations. These certifications do not guarantee that the product is safe, only cryptographic module that is safe, right. IronKey users will be pleased to learn that the fault did not affect its products. IronKey uses authentication based on the material instead of sending flags to unlock the device. All IronKey secure flash drives has not been affected by this flaw, and we are not surprised to see sales of this product has hit the roof. Remember, not only the software is vulnerable, but also equipment. It is easier to analyze the software under a debugger, but with the right tools for analysis of material under a debugger is just as easy. Particularly vulnerable is the opening sequence of the disc once authentication is completed – nodoubt be one of the most routine secure flash drive. Fortunately, iron designed its protection against the onset. Chips on the flash drive epoxy mixture sure that access to equipment is almost impossible, even by the most determined hackers. If we understand, if they spent more than a flash drive to buy insurance, you should not have to worry about the implementation of security on the device. Although Kingston Sandisk and Verbatim furiously to try to do everything can to address and bury the problem, we will not be an easy task to restore consumer confidence. As expected, Kingston is to replace all units secure flash memory and makes the following statement to reassure its customers;

Kingston Digital Inc. believes that safety data of our customers as paramount.
