The reports of the chief research officer of security firm Rapid7, HD Moore, in a blog post and refers to insider information from the industry. Around 5800 the so-called Automatic Tank Gauges (ATG) is controllable via the Internet without any detours and password protection and thus manipulates - 5300 of them in the US alone, at least three percent of all gas stations in the country.
Using ATG manufactured by Veeder-Root will be controlled and monitored the fuel tank almost all American stations and many other stations around the world. About a monitoring console operator levels, refueling operations, threatening leaks or environmental influences from the outside can control. Connected this ATG are serial interfaces, fax, modem or even TCP/IP. To access via the Internet to the monitoring console, use many station operators TCP/IP, mostly on TCP port 10001 - because password protection is not set by default, the systems often are therefore open and freely accessible on the Internet.
Security through VPN gateways
An attacker with access to an ATG interface is able to handle the entire gas station out of service by faking the ATG a wrong reading, triggering false alarms or the monitoring system power down completely, warns Moore.
To date, although no attacks on ATG's have become known, but he also writes that natural system errors and failures in this case cannot be distinguished from intentional induced.
Affected station operators who use an ATG via TCP IP, it is recommended, best to use a VPN gateway or other dedicated hardware interface to access the monitoring console of the tanks. Slightly less security would provide IP address filtering and set a password for each serial port.
AdhereTech
The smart tablet container turns out that patients take their medications.
Chui
Face Detection with advanced computer technology helps allot faces a universal key. Chui calls this solution as 'world's smartest doorbell'.
Enlighted
Enlighted developed a clever sensor that relies on real-time data around inside the building. The system uses a different approach than its competitors The Enlighted sensor is applied to new or existing LED, CFL or HID lamps and -Anbauten and not solely controls the light output, but also controls the light intensity, temperature and power consumption.
Heapsylon
The smart socks are pervaded by textile pressure sensors with associated electronics. The sensors are pursuing not only the steps, speed, calories, altitude, ambient temperature and distance, but also the step rhythm, the rolling movement of the foot, the center of the balance and the weight distribution of the foot during running and race.
Humavox
Humavox would provide a common platform that makes cables unnecessary and can charge batteries with the transmission power of a USB cable. The smart charging mechanism initiates the charging process by means of radio waves with a so-called handshake when the unit is placed in the charging station. Here, the battery status and the charging curve will be persecuted. The charging is terminated immediately when the device is fully charged.
Neura
Neuras platform offers the possibility that individual devices communicate with each other and the context (where, when, who) understand as well as the importance and the associated behavior. By combining the different data streams devices could foresighted activities operated to respond individually. For example, after a user has spent time in the kitchen and leaving home, Neura will ensure that the stove is turned off. Neura can also request a robotic vacuum cleaner, after several people have visited the home.
PubNub
PubNub relies on global real-time network with 14 data centers. Customers connect their unit with PubNub by a one-line code and can then send and receive data - with a 1225-second latency. PubNub also allows real-time updates by the device status (online offline, etc.) is always updated.
Revolv
Revolv unified networked devices through a single, simple app that allows interaction between the intelligent home products. In addition, devices using the time, place and sensors can be automated with regard to the daily routine of the user. For example, with the Geosense technology revolv can automatically activate devices (or off) when the user has reached a predefined radius or to one's own home.
TempoIQ
TempoIQ relies on a private cloud service designed to make it easy for the user to use the Sensory Analytics for its own products or services. A real-time monitoring of sensors and data analysis devices is made available to the performance and to ensure the safety.
Theatro
Theatro has developed a portable Wi-based system that is used for internal communication between employees, while allowing access to company information. The employees gain access to the system through a variety of simple voice commands, which allow them also while communicating to have your hands free - when you operate about customers. For example During a seller of a product inventory levels checked, he says check inventory SKU23567 and the Theatro system connects him to give him an overview of the product status directly to the inventory system.
