Weak passwords = Easy to Hack

DateMonday, June 14, 2010 at 5:20PM

I am amazed at the feedback of our bake-off.  Some questions revolved around the fact that a tool used exploits against weak passwords and SMB shares.  This is still a major security problem.

Users still make hacking easy with weak passwords

In response to our bake-off, Core Security Blog, noted that the product does not exploit that unless you unlock the feature.  It should be noted that at a previous HackMiami event, we identified that the cash register had an exploit that allowed us full access to the Credit Card System.  It was weak passwords/SMB.

 

It doesn't matter how many locks one has on their doors.  If you don't shut the door, the locks can't save you!!!!
