From iOS and OS X security issues that forced Apple to push out an important update this past week, to this vulnerability in both Windows and OS X, goes to show how hackers keep expanding their arsenal everyday. In this article a simple USB stick can be inserted into a computer (even when locked) and will mount onto the computer obtaining the password within seconds and unmount. The way it works is when the USB stick is plugged in it starts up a DHCP server which is recognized by the computer as an Ethernet adapter. This then monitors traffic and since it is considered a local network it is trusted. The authentication services are then able to put the password on the USB key which can then later be deciphered.<\/p>\n
