IPv6 Has Security Designed In

you don’t need to worry about security because IPv6 has it built into the protocol

Is DHS running honeypots?

Image
When in September 2015 DHS published its own Security Audit Report , I was rather speechless I could not find any mention of "SSL" or "TLS" in the text, but apparently DHS has been aware of Transport Layer Security earlier than that. Today KrebsOnSecurity published a post titled DHS Giving Firms Free Penetration Tests  containing a link to a document which include the  status update about the ongoing cyber programs and efforts underway at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) . In a rather confusing timeline, we read first about a DHS ignoring SSL/TLS during its own Security Audit Report (Sept. 2015) and today about how SSL (TLS) related vulnerabilities occupy 5/5 of the Top 5 (Occurring) Vulnerabilities list in the DHS NCATS Year-Engagement Report 2014 (which indeed might have more conveniently be published at an earlier date). The reason for this post is not the confusing orde

The majority of DHS subdomains vulnerable to Man in The Middle attacks

On 17th september there were 18 .dhs.gov entries in badssl , 11 of which vulnerable to Man in The Middle attacks and 4 to Poodle (TLS ) attack; United States Government Accountability Office has meanwhile found other issues which are probably bigger(?) than that, as the $6B firewall which seems hitting an impressive 6% of the total vulnerabilities selected for review: More specifically, for the five client applications we reviewed (Adobe Acrobat, Flash, Internet Explorer, Java, and Microsoft office), the NCPS intrusion detection signatures provided some degree of coverage for approximately 6 percent of the total vulnerabilities selected for review. ...by the way, here are the (SSL/TLS) facts about DHS as of today:
