JFK · 04-02-2008, 08:57 AM

I got some shit there as well, had to run the spybot to try and get rid of it. Does'nt make for a very safe uploading enviroment, infact it fucked up my cute Ftp program

Wagerboy · 04-02-2008, 08:57 AM

They install it via WI-FI or something? I dont know much about that so Im curious. Sorry it happened to you guys tho, not cool.

woj · 04-02-2008, 08:59 AM

how the fuck? You have a firewall setup and configured properly? system all updated?

american pervert · 04-02-2008, 09:01 AM

name names or GFY!

Matt 26z · 04-02-2008, 09:05 AM

If someone was hacking computers over the WiFi and installing shit, then that is even more fucked up than the camera being stolen.

They could NOT have installed shit on your computer unless you OK'd them to run shit on your computer. Are you sure you aren't confusing malware with cookies?

Were there banners or something on the login window that would have installed tracking cookies?

And wtf do you give two shits about cookies anyway?

Giving a shit about them just shows you are a noob when it comes to computer security.

I did .. and I got something weird happening as well ..actually installed macscan and it came up with 26 things that shouldn't be there ..

warlock5 · 04-02-2008, 09:46 AM

Rule #1 - Never use public WiFi. I've seen hackers do shit a lot scarier over unsecured/poorly secured networks, like dump everyones data including passwords.

yeah not seeing a connection between going to a show and getting malware...

arial · 04-02-2008, 09:48 AM

I used mine for about 5 mins but I was just surfing time to scan!

LB-69 · 04-02-2008, 09:52 AM

Bullshit, you cant get infected over WI FI if you not downloading/installing stuff by yourself. Plus any good and updated antivirus+firewall will bring the risk to minimum even if you tried to install some shit by mistake.

sandman! · 04-02-2008, 10:19 AM

I would never use free WiFi at a webmaster event

LOL

Hell House Vic · 04-02-2008, 10:21 AM

to me this sounds retarded. i admit i could be wrong, but windows machines pick up BS like cooking oil on the kitchen wall picks up dust. you probably got whatever bad stuff you got from the internet during or before your stay in phoenix, not from people sharing the phoenix LAN. i really wouldn't jump to a conclusion that someone attenting the phoenix forum intentionally gave some suspicious stuff to you.

NEVERTHELESS, you went ahead and started this thread, so please provide much more exact details, otherwise you shouldn't have posted he-said, she-said type of time wasters.

Pete - next time, avoid unsecured networks with 'Zango' in the name.

tranza · 04-02-2008, 10:36 AM

Wow, how fucked up is that????

Tom_PM · 04-02-2008, 10:42 AM

How can you get a cookie without visiting a website? I know I'm dumb, but someone has to admit they're dumb once in a while and I'm not afraid.

seeric · 04-02-2008, 10:45 AM

i used mine there, just scanned using spybot, adaware, and kaspersky AV AG and I found nothing.

It's not inconceivable that someone could set up a laptop as a dummy access point which adds some extra data to the HTML travelling through it.

Using unencrypted public wifi is just asking for trouble.

onlineriches · 04-02-2008, 12:44 PM

As mentioned above using public Wi-Fi of any kind including passworded is asking for trouble. A router's WEP/WPA encryption key can be cracked in less than 10 minutes, allowing the attacker to sniff all packets being transmitted through the air.

If a site login form uses SSL, the credentials will be protected, however not all sites force SSL logins.

Rowan was on point when he said data can be added or modifed when passing through the third party device. Special firmware placed on a basic router can insert malicious code to compromise specific browsers such as Safari, IE, or Firefox and execute malware on a target system. Simply opening your browser and visiting any site while connected to this network may be all it takes to become compromised.

For my final project last year we had the task of creating and playing with Linksys firmware to accomplish certain tasks, such as loading websites upside down and reversing graphics or fonts, replacing the sites graphics with our own custom graphics, and hijacking DNS requests for destination sites as well as monitoring all traffic.

Some tips for when on the road:

- Always use a VPN to encrypt all data on strange networks (http://www.steganos.com)
- Use foreign DNS servers, not the devices DNS server
- Do not use common browsers such as IE, Firefox, or Safari
- Kaspersky Internet Security Suite
- Avoid logging into sites which do not use SSL to protect credentials
- Ensure you do not use anyone elses USB devices or CDs (malware loaded autorun)
- Use common sense
- TRUST NO ONE >8)

ArkansasDave · 04-02-2008, 12:51 PM

Thanks for the heads-up, now time to scan damnit!

FelixFlow · 04-02-2008, 12:57 PM

well if you suspect some company installed malware/spyware on your laptop, why are you letting them get away with it, instead of calling them out on it????

NickB. · 04-02-2008, 01:04 PM

Karupted Charles · 04-02-2008, 01:09 PM

For those that said you can not get things put on your computer without clicking on them think again.

I was talking at breakfast that my firewall was going off like crazy with people attempting to get to shares that did not exist on my machine. It is possible to upload to your machine or download from it if you set your computer to trust the local network traffic.

I have not seen anything bad on my machine from the scans I have run but that is cause I am super anal about my firewalls.
