turkish hackers
Nothing is impossible, especially if sloppy programming caused the vulnerability which enabled an SQL injection attack. If we look at the bigger picture, this type of hacking tool is just another form of malware. We offer that Ether2 will enable a path to ensemble computing, where according to Intel research, we will have a higher sensitivity to malware, stronger neighborhood trust models leading to self configuration, and the ability for servers to collaborate in order to defend the network. Secondarily, if it was a DoS attack designed to take the server down by overflowing the buffer, then the fact that nodes can share compute power (basically giving any LAN supercomputing cluster capabilities) would allow load balancing between servers at the edge of the network so the attack couldn’t take hold, and the offending IP addresses could be red flagged, ports blocked, etc. The question about how they got in must be answered. If they sneaked by the session border controller in an encrypted media packet for say a VoIP of video flow, we’ll be running a proprietary watermarking technique to render the executable code inoperable. Then there is the issue of deep packet inspection getting overloaded at the gateway, and Ether2 is 100% distributed so the DPI load would also be running in distributed network chips, as opposed to gateway flooding. In short, we take a more global view on the security issues in networks, and when the network architecture resembles cable TV, it will be a paradigm shift for security.
