Home Security Cameras Industry Market to witness an impressive growth during the forecast period 2020 2025 - CueReport

Security vulnerabilities in your home router have been the story for years, with the responsibility being placed at the feet of users to keep their router firmware updated. But a damning report by Fraunhofer says that router manufacturers themselves have taken years to issue patches, with potentially dozens of critical vulnerabilities lurking within older routers.

The June report by Fraunhofer-Institut fur Kommunikation (FKIE) extracted firmware images from routers made by Asus, AVM, D-Link, Linksys, Netgear, TP-Link, and Zyxel127 in all. The report (as noted by ZDNet) compared the firmware images to known vulnerabilities and exploit mitigation techniques, so that even if a vulnerability was exposed, the design of the router could mitigate it.

No matter how you slice it, Fraunhofers study pointed out basic lapses in security across several aspects. At the most basic level, 46 routers didnt receive any updatesat all in the last year. Many used outdated Linux kernels with their own, known vulnerabilities. Fifty routers used hard-coded credentials, where a known username and password was encoded into the router as a default credential that asked the user to change itbut would still be there, accessible, if they did not.

FKIE could not find a single router without flaws. Nor could the institute name a single router vendor that avoided the security issues.

AVM does [a] better job than the other vendors regarding most aspects, the report concluded. Asus and Netgear do a better job in some aspects than D-Link, Linksys, TP-Link, and Zyxel. We contactedBelkin (Linksys) and D-Link, two vendors named in the report, for comment, but didnt hear back by press time.

In conclusion the update policy of router vendors is far behind the standards as we know it from desktop or server operating systems, FKIE said elsewhere in the report. However, routers are exposed to the internet 24 hours a day leading to an even higher risk of malware infection.

Fraunhofer broke down how router vendors have fallen short into several categories.

Days since the last firmware release:Although 81 routers were updated in the last 365 days before the FKIE gathered its results (March 27, 2019 to Match 27, 2020) the average number of days to the prior update, across all devices, was 378. FKIE said 27 of the devices had not been updated within two years, with the absolute worst stretching to 1,969 daysmore then five years.

Asus, AVM, and Netgear issued updates for all of their devices within a year and a half, at least. By comparison, most antivirus programs issue updates at least daily.

Age of the OS: Most routers run Linux, an open-source software model that offers researchers the ability to examine the basic Linux kernel code and apply patches. When the kernel itself is outdated, however, fundamental known vulnerabilities in the OS are ripe for exploitation. FKIE used the open-source Firmware Analysis and Comparison Tool (FACT) to extract the router firmware, finding that a third of the routers ran on top of the 2.6.36 Linux kernel, an older version. Thelast security update for kernel version 2.6.36 was provided nine years ago, the study found.

Critical vulnerabilities in the tested routers abounded. Theaverage number of critical vulnerabilities found for each router was 53, with even the best routers subject to 21 critical vulnerabilities (there were a whopping 348 high-rated vulnerabilities, too).

Exploit mitigation: Routers can be built to protect their kernel using a variety of exploit mitigation techniques, including the non-executable bit (NX) to mark a region of memory as non-executable. This was a common way of protecting the router, but FKIE found that the usage of exploit mitigation techniques was rare.

Private keys: We want to make it absolutely clear that there is no good reason to publish a private key, because a published private key does not provide any security at all! FKIE wrote. Publishing the private cryptographic key in the firmware allows an attacker to impersonate the device itself and do man in the middle attacks, an exploit that tries to fool the users PC and the server into believing that the attacker is the trusted router.

FKIE found that at least five private keys are published per firmware image. The Netgear R6800 provides a total number of 13 private keys in a single device. AVM was the only vendor FKIE found that did not publish private keys.

Hard-coded login credentials: You may already be familiar with hard-coded credentials: a router that uses admin and password as its default credentials. While that makes it easy to recover a lost password, it also makes it extremely easy for an attacker to take over your router. Furthermore, if the user cannot change a password, you might get a feeling that the password is related to a backdoor, FKIE wrote, implying that hard-coding credentials could have been added to allow monitoring of your device.

The good news is that more than 60% of the router firmware images do not have hard-coded login credentials, FKIE wrote. The bad news is that 50 routers do provide hard-coded credentials. Sixteen routers have well known or easy crackable credentials.

FKIEs report doesnt suggest choosing an open-source firmware replacement for your router, although that option is certainly available. Unfortunately, some of the firmware options are no longer maintained, or only work on a subset of (older) routers. Its disappointing that the easiest route for criminals to penetrate your home network appears to benot your PC, or your operating systembut the router youre using to connect to the rest of the world.

Connected Home Security Systems Market Growth By Manufacturers, Countries, Types And Application, End Users And Forecast To 2026 - 3rd Watch News

Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Communication (FKIE) has carried out a study involving 127 home routers from seven brands to check for the presence of known security vulnerabilities in the latest firmware. The results are appalling.

The FKIE study found that 46 routers hadn't got a single security update within the past year and that many routers are affected by hundreds of known vulnerabilities.

It also found that vendors are shipping firmware updates without fixing known vulnerabilities, meaning that even if a consumer installs the latest firmware from a vendor, the router would still be vulnerable.

SEE:Best Wi-Fi routers for your home office in 2020: Google Wifi, ASUS ROG, and more

FKIE assessed that ASUS and Netgear do a better job on some aspects of securing routers than D-Link, Linksys, TP-Link and Zyxel, but it argues the industry needs to do more to secure home routers.

FKIE found that AVM, a German router manufacturer, was the only vendor that didn't publish private cryptographic keys in its router firmware. The Netgear R6800 router contained 13 private keys.

In the worst cases of devices FKIE assessed, the routers hadn't been updated for more than five years.

About 90% of the routers in the study used a Linux operating system. However, manufacturers weren't updating the OS with fixes made available from Linux kernel maintainers.

"Linux works continuously to close security vulnerabilities in its operating system and to develop new functionalities. Really, all the manufacturers would have to do is install the latest software, but they do not integrate it to the extent that they could and should," said Johannes vom Dorp, a scientist at FKIE's Cyber Analysis & Defense department.

"Numerous routers have passwords that are either well known or simple to crack or else they have hard-coded credentials that users cannot change," he added.

The study targeted five key signals in firmware images to assess each manufacturer's approach to cybersecurity. These included the days since the last firmware update was released; how old are the OS versions running these routers; the use of exploit mitigation techniques; whether private cryptographic key material isn't private; and the presence of hard-coded login credentials.

FKIE concludes that router makers are significantly lagging in the delivery of security updates compared with operating system makers.

"The update policy of router vendors is far behind the standards as we know it from desktop or server operating systems," FKIE notes in the report.

"Most of the devices are powered by Linux and security patches for Linux kernel and other open-source software are released several times a year. This means the vendors could distribute security patches to their devices far more often, but they do not."

The results mirror findings from a 2018 US study by American Consumer Institute (ACI), which analyzed 186 small office/home office Wi-Fi routers from 14 different vendors. It found 155, 83%, of the firmware sampled had vulnerabilities to potential cyberattacks, and that each router had an average of 172 vulnerabilities.

ACI criticized router makers for not providing an auto-update mechanism to keep routers updated. Often updates are only made after high-profile attacks on routers, such as Mirai IoT malware, and the state-sponsored VPNFilter malware.

SEE:VPN usage policy (TechRepublic Premium)

As for exploit mitigation, a researcher who recently found 79 Netgear router models had a remotely exploitable flaw also found that its web-based administration panel never applies the exploit mitigation technique ASLR (address space layout randomization), lowering the bar for remote attackers to take over an affected router.

The German study found that more than a third of the devices use a kernel version 2.6.36 or older, with the latest security update for 2.6.36 provided in February 2011. It also found a Linksys WRT54GL router running on Linux kernel version 2.4.20, which was released in 2002.

"The worst case regarding high-severity CVEs is the Linksys WRT54GL powered by the oldest kernel found in our study," the report notes. "There are 579 high-severity CVEs affecting this product."

Amazon Prime Day 2020 has been postponed, and while we wait for a new date, we can only speculate on what to expect from this post-pandemic sales event. When will it be? What will be on sale? How long will it be? We reveal all our speculations below.

While some may already be aware, Amazon are having a Summer Sale right now, which is live for a long six days to give customers a discount on everything from tech to furniture and appliances. This sale, though it's not a replacement of Amazon Prime Day 2020, is offering competitively-priced deals and is very close to the usual Amazon Prime Day date of mid-July. So, if you are after a bargain right now, you know exactly where to shop.

Amazon Prime Day 2020, we expect, will fall in September this year, though there's lots of speculation that it will be as late as 5th October we think that October is too close to Black Friday in November. In terms of what will be on sale, we reckon that Amazon Prime day will be more or less the same than it has been in previous years, just with fewer deals in order keep up with the lack of factory workers and delivery drivers currently working due to COVID-19. That, and the fact they're having a mega sale right now and are getting rid of some excess stock. While we still expect Amazon Prime Day to last for 48 hours as per usual, we do expect that the deals won't be as frequent as previous year as normally, deals drop every hour or so throughout the two-day fiasco.

The best-case scenario? A joint Amazon Prime Day with Black Friday would be incredible. Imagine: deals that are incredibly cheap, lots of them flowing in every few minutes or so and essentially, this event would be killing two birds with one stone. Reckon we could pitch it to them?

Eufy Security recently released a pair of budget-priced cameras tricked out with cutting-edge AI featuresthe Indoor Cam 2K, which we recently reviewed, and the Indoor Cam 2K Pan and Tilt.

As you might deduce from the names, the main difference between the two is that the Indoor Cam 2K has a fixed viewing angle and the Indoor Cam 2K Pan and Tilt can rotate 360 degrees horizontally and pivot 96 degrees vertically. They otherwise have virtually identical specs and features, including a 125-degree field of view (without panning, in the case of the latter), 2K resolution, automatic night vision, 8x zoom, and two-way audio.

Like the Indoor Cam 2K, the Indoor Cam 2K Pan and Tilt comes with motion and sound detection, the ability to distinguish between humans and pets, and it can recognize the sound of a baby crying. It also supports Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKitincluding HomeKit Secure Video, which allows for the analysis of recorded video clips on a local HomePod, iPad, or Apple TV, as well as encrypted video storage in iCloud. HomeKit support might come after the camera ships in mid July.

The camera supports up to 128GB of local storage via a microSD card (no card is included). Eufy also offers two rolling 20-day cloud storage plans. The Basic plan provides storage for $3 a month or $30 a year per camera, which is the best choice for up to three cameras. For four or more cameras, youre better served by the Premier plan, which gives you a bulk discount for up to 10 cameras for $10 a month or $100 a year. A third option is to save clips to a third-party network-attached storage (NAS) device via Real Time Streaming Protocol. The Eufy Security companion app includes a setup guide for this method, but you might need to acquire a license from your NAS box manufacturer to record security camera footage to it.

The Indoor Cam 2K can rotate 360 degrees horizontally and pivot 96 degrees vertically.

You control the pan-and-tilt camera with the Eufy Security app. It guides you through the process of pairing the camera to your phone and connecting it to your Wi-Fi network. You just need scan the QR code on the device and enter your network login credentials.

The camera appears on the apps device screen with the name you gave it during the setup and a screenshot of its current view. Pressing the play button here opens the live feed. The layout is largely the same as with Indoor Cam 2K live stream at the top, camera controls at the bottomwith the exception of big directional dial smack in the middle. Pressing any of the four cardinal points rotates the camera in that direction. It responds quickly and moves smoothly. You can calibrate the pan-and-tilt and adjust the rotation speed on a 1-5 scale in the settings.

In addition to controlling the pan-and-tilt yourself, you can set the camera to lock on to any moving object it detects by enabling motion tracking. This worked well in my testing, with the camera shadowing a family member or pet and following them anywhere they went. In a real-world scenario, this would allow you track the movements of an intruder, eliminating the blind spots created by a fixed-angle camera.

You can pan and tilt the camera manually using the app or set it to automatically track moving objects.

Having experienced Eufys AI detection previously, I knew how accurate it could be, and it didnt disappoint this time. People were identified as humans, and my dog and cats as pets. Detected noises and movement that didnt fall into these categories were tagged as general motion and sound.

Every notification includes a large screenshot of the triggering person/pet that you can tap to open the captured video clip. If you dont want to drown in a tide of these alerts, there are several ways to manage them. You can adjust the sensitivity of both motion and sound detection to receive fewer of all alerts, or you can select only the types of sound and movement you want to monitor. You can also opt to receive alerts for only those events you want to know about, change the interval time between two event notifications, and choose the content you want included in notifications and how those are delivered (text only; text first, then thumbnail; or text and thumbnail together).

One of my favorite features on the Indoor Cam 2K is also included with pan/tilt model: Pet Command lets you automatically issue pre-recorded commands when the camera detects your pet in a particular area. To use this feature, you have to establish an activity zone by masking an area you want the camera to monitor for motion. Next, you record and set the audio command you want the camera to play when it detects your pet in that area. I created an activity zone around the main part of my living room and recorded a Bed! command to play whenever my dog strayed from his bed pad. Because the recording was in my voice and not a canned one, he responded as if I was there in the room with him.

You can choose the freqency and type of alerts you receive.

You can access all your event-triggered clips from a tab on the device screen. Theyre organized most-recent first, and you can download, share, delete, or donate the clip to help improve the cameras performance. You can also scrub through live-stream footage using a scrolling timeline on the live-feed screen.

The Indoor Cam 2K Pan and Tilt, like its companion Indoor Cam 2K, offers a raft of security features for an unbeatable price. Its best suited to large spaces where its pan-and-tilt and motion tracking will help you cover a lot ground, and its tack-sharp resolution and intelligent alerts should satisfy first-time camera owners and seasoned home security pros alike.

One great option is the XC Security Camera, and it doesn't hurt that it's easy on the eyes. This Red Dot Awardee features just about everything you need, from high-quality imaging to voice control capabilities, allowing you to keep tabs on your home with the help of just your smartphone. Here's a breakdown of all the awesome features.

To start, its 1080p full HD camera delivers high-resolution images and videos that you can watch from anywhere. Whether it's day or night, you'll get a quality recording even if there is no lighting available whatsoever. You'll also benefit from its super wide-angle 138 camera lens with 360 panning. That means if the sneaky squirrel is not quite in front of the camera, you'll still catch it in the act.

Like any good 2020 gadget, the XC Security Camera also features voice control, so you can ask Alexa to take a snapshot or rotate the camera without moving. Plus, it will alert you when it detects motion or sound so you don't need to have your eye on the feed at all times.

To top it off, the camera features two-way audio so you can speak to someone at home while you're away, and local storage so you can keep footage recorded on a microSD card (sold separately).

Here's the best part: it will cost you less than $50 out of the gate. No matter your needs, you can start keeping tabs on your home for just $43.99, which is 26% off the full price. You won't regret a little more peace of mind.
