Every year the great and good (and bad) of the hacker/information-security world descend on Las Vegas for a week of conferences, in which many present their latest discoveries, and every year I try to itemize the most interesting (according to me) Black Hat talks for TechCrunch.
There are far too many for anyone to attend.
In truth there is a lot of extremely good security out there, especially amid the big tech companies, and it keeps getting better, as the market for 0-days (previously undiscovered exploits) indicates.
Most (though certainly not all) of the exploits below have already been reported and fixed, and patches have been rolled out.
All the 4G Modules Could Be Hacked, from Baidu’s Security Lab, recounts the researchers’ investigation of 4G modules for IoT devices — the components which connect machines to the Internet via cell networks, basically.
The results show all of them have similar vulnerabilities” and ends with the equally memorable “how to use these vulnerabilities to attack car entertainment systems of various brands and get remote control of cars.” Extra points for the slide with ‘Build Zombie cars (just like Furious 8)’, too.
Researchers presenting at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas this week demonstrated a relatively simple way to break into someone’s iPhone Face ID—so long as they’re completely conked out.
On Wednesday, a research team from Tencent showed their biometric bypass technique to conference attendees, according to a report from Threatpost.
In order to circumvent Apple’s advanced security protocol, the researchers reportedly only needed glasses with black tape on the lenses and smaller pieces of white tape on the black tape.
Apparently, if you put taped glasses on an unconscious person’s face, you can trick Apple Face ID into unlocking the phone.

The researchers were trying to hack the system’s “liveness” detection part of the biometric process that distinguishes between “fake” and “real” human characteristics, according to Threatpost.
