Dear folks, This may be something you're already familiar with. But I'm passing it on for what it's worth....
Someone just sent me this link, to a ZDnet story apparently reporting on a presentation at BlackHat/Europe conference. http://www.zdnet.co.uk/news/security-threats/2010/04/16/security-researchers-demo-cisco-wi-fi-flaws-40088653/?tag=mncol;txt BUT don't click on that yet! The story ABOUT the presentation seems a big dicey to me. (A better one -- based on a quick skim -- seems to be this story at DarkReading, which interviewed the presenter, Enno Rey, before BlackHat http://www.darkreading.com/vulnerability_management/security/perimeter/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=224202409.) I've done some additional digging, and I think the same team presented the same material at the recent SchmooCon. Here's the SchmooCon video: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/4500990 FYI, here's the link to the capsule BlackHat session summary and the presenters: http://www.blackhat.com/html/bh-eu-10/bh-eu-10-briefings.html The presenter in both is Enno Rey, with ERNW GmbH, based in Germany. Their English language website is here http://ernw.de/content/e15/e26/index_eng.html Rey mentions an infosec blog: http://www.insinuator.net/ I've only checked the opening minutes of the video. Rey is looking at 2 Cisco WLAN "architecturs" -- SWAN and the current CUWN. Apparently a big part of the presentation is potential problems in the Cisco's proprietary Wireless LAN Context Control Protocol (WLCCP). There you go....I'll pull this together for a blogpost http://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/2989 at Network World later today. Unless you all tell me this was old news from 2 years ago or something....
