This week anonops.net was hacked by a fellow anonymous - I was invited to London & Kirshenbaum on Channel 10 to talk about Anonymous and their operations.

Today, Jonathan Klinger and I spoke at the 12th Annual Conference for Information Security and Business Continuity about wireless security risks, focusing on session hijacking and information gathering.
The presentation can be found at http://www.omercohen.co.il/wifi.
In addition, a full-length article about the subject, and the legal implications of these risks can be found at the 15th issue of DigitalWhisper
Following the latest Survivor “hacking” incident, I was invited to talk on Channel’s 10 morning show, to explain about that attack, and phishing in general.
During a generic inspection, I noticed a few unfamiliar open ports on a client.
A few minutes later I had root access on a HOT modem, enabling me to control its routing tables, tunnels, etc.
A couple more C class scans later, I realized this vulnerability affects ~80% of HOT’s home networks. These networks are managed by an Ambit Wireless Router/Cable Modem, which had “built-in” security holes.
After consulting with my trusted friend (and lawyer) Effi Fuks, we contacted HOT’s CISO, in attempt to help them fix this issue across the board.
More on the matter, can be found on MAKO’s site, at:

Digital Evidence @ Digital Whisper
The editor of DigitalWhisper sent me an email asking if I’ll be interested in writing for his journal. I focused on the recent work I had done with Effi Fuks in regard of Digital Evidence and validating E-Mail correspondence as part of a legal case/process.
This was my first attempt in writing a technical article in Hebrew, comments would be welcomed :)
