Project Proposal:
Setup old, unpatched hardware to some of today’s hacks such as:
x86 Ring -3 Attacks
Meltdown
Spectre
Various ShadowBrokers releases
Etc
And show what those exploits would have looked like to the average user. For instance, I’m fairly certain side channel timing attacks were being used in the days of Kazaa, also SMB1 exploits.
Thoughts?
Must be on a 100% isolated network.
Well if one owns the hardware and licence keys then air gap the stuff and have at. Its called s hacking lab and totally legal and fun. Kind of what we do at the CTFs.
There is a few donated hardware racked in the museums server rack just for this.
Lets grab a google hangout and plan this out.
Absolutely.
Do we have any equipment which would allow for hardware inline video capture? I’m betting somewhere we’d have better than camera-to-screens.
Lol, no, I meant something to record the screen for presentation purposes which wouldn’t involve network or file access to the infected machine.
However, this does bring up a point: We’re going to need a Faraday cage.
Fairly sure one can split the video signal off into a recorder and the main display.
