Intrusion Detection For Your PC Case

Posted by Hemos on from the gotta-catch-'em-all dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "Ryan du Bois, from genbukan security (aka red0x), has created a chassis intrusion detection system for your computer box: the actual physical case. He also wrote a paper describing three separate implementations of this CIDS system: Contacts, Pressure switchs, and a PLA (programmable microchip). Included in his paper are complete designs for the first two and a promise for the last to come soon. Definitely worth a read. The paper is available in many formats including OpenOffice 1.0, HTML , TEXT and a Tarball of them all. You can also obtain the signatures as well as his Automated Security Tools Project, of which this is a member."

  1. My IDS... by Bonker · · Score: 5, Funny

    Gracie, the gray tabby cat sleeps atop my PC case. If her bed is disturbed... and I do mean in any way... she cries for days on end. She can't be consoled. I have no choice but to hunt down the man what tried to jack my HDD and present his head to the cat like she does when she brings me mice.

    Leave a fake grenade, with the pin pulled and the spoon held down by the outside of the case in the computer.

    Identify intrusion by the stain on the floor.

    For bonus points, replace the fake grenade with a real one.

    "Sounds interesting, but incredibly impractical."

    Ah! You have issued the rallying cry of the /. case-modder...

    "It sounds interesting yet totally impractical! To arms, my brothers! Let us mod this case!"
