The researchers provide an introduction to the issues, note the previous research, define IPMI/BMC security risks and analyze a particular implementation and describe their successful attack on this implementation.crowdfunding advertising They found “blatant textbook vulnerabilities” and concluded that the implementations “suggest either incompetence or indifference towards customer security.” They then determine the number of publicly (Internet) accessible IPMI devices, which they determine to be more than 105,000. They provide some defenses and lessons and indicate areas for future work.indiegogo marketing The Washington Post has published an article on the paper and interviewed one of the authors, who criticizes the embedded device community for their security practices.kickstarter marketing Customers who make use of BMC and IPMI based remote management cards
and systems need to be aware of these issues and take the proper steps
to safeguard their implementations. Given the severity of these issues,
they should consider alternative remote management solutions such as
KVM-over-IP switches, which can avoid most of these risks.kickstarter project Posted from:http://www.raritan.com/blog/2013/09/the-consultative-role-in-data-center-installations/ |
