Hacking is so easy these days, even non-hackers can do it. Some kinds of hacking, that is. Like public wifi, for example. To spy on people's Internet browsing while they're sipping a cup of brew, you don't need to be a pro.

Viele Nutzer verschleiern ihre eigentliche IP-Adresse und damit ihren Standort, indem Sie über einen VPN-Server ins Internet gehen. Die WebRTC-Implementierungen von Mozilla Firefox und Google Chrome plaudern aber die Adresse aus. In einer Demo zeigt Roesler, dass der öffentliche STUN-Server stun.services.mozilla.com dabei nicht nur die Adresse übermittelt, mit der man sozusagen am Ausgang des VPN-Tunnels zu sehen ist.. Er verrät auch die öffentliche Adresse, von der aus die VPN-Verbindung aufgebaut wurde. Wenn ein Webdienst solchen Code in seine Webseite einbaut, hat er ein weiteres Mittel, um trotz VPN herauszufinden, wo der Rechner des Benutzers steht. Zum Glück gibt es Abhilfe: Für Chrome gibt es die Erweiterung WebRTC Block. In Firefox kann der Benutzer in about:config den Wert media.peerconnection.enabledeinfach auf False setzen.

Plus, troubleshooting “file in use” messages. Q. If I get a VPN (a virtual private network), will it protect the computer against malicious software? A. A VPN encrypts the data that you send and receive over your Internet connection to protect it from snoopers looking to steal passwords and other information. If you use public wireless networks, using a VPN helps keep personal information private. Learn more: . - http://gustmees.wordpress.com/2013/05/27/dangers-of-wifi-in-public-places/

Public Wi-Fi is becoming more and more popular. It’s becoming prominent absolutely everywhere, and almost everyone uses it when given the opportunity. But many people still seem to feel that public Wi-Fi networks are built to give the public free Wi-Fi access without having to make concession with their privacy, and this is in spite of growingevidence to the contrary. And based on the show of political support for Wi-Fi, one can extend this to include the perception of lawmakers. So we here at F-Secure teamed up with ethical hacking firm Mandalorian and investigative journalist Peter Warren to conduct a little experiment that could highlight the risks that people (including politicians) take when they use public Wi-Fi.

I have said for a long time that WiFi Hotspots are not a secure place to do anything online that you would not want exposed to the general public. This being online banking, online shopping, viewing your corporate email account, etc. being just a few.
With free online tools available on the Internet, it has become very easy for an attacker to view the information that you are entering into your computer from a free Wifi hotspot. These WiFi hotspots may be very handy, but not very secure.
The article above will show you a couple of ways that you can protect you and your computer if you travel frequently and use these hotspots. I want you to stay protected.
Stay safe out there! |
