Use-After-Free ActiveX Vulnerability in Microsoft Remote Desktop Client (CVE-2013-1296)

One of my favorite pastimes here at Ixia BreakingPoint is exploring the limits of a vulnerability. We get vulnerability information from a variety of sources, and one of the things the ATI Security Team takes great pride in is our ability to fully test the capabilities of a detection device (such as a firewall or intrusion protection system). This means creating strikes that fully mimic all the possible ways an exploit can take advantage of a vulnerability, in all its possible incarnations. This can mean different file transfer methods, obfuscation and evasion methods, as well as non-obvious exploitation methods.

UFOs and Other Sightings at Interop 2013

Seen at Ixia’s Interop booth this year; UFOs, vintage sodas, wheel of DDOS attack, and lots of conference attendees! Our UFO (unidentified failures and outages) creature proved very skilled at luring unsuspecting earthlings into the Ixia booth. Once trapped by the UFO, they stayed for the vintage sodas, to try their luck at the wheel of DDOS attack, and of course to learn about Ixia products! Many thanks to the UFO for helping spread the word about Ixia.

5 Things to Worry About in Your Contact Center

Ixia has a tremendous amount of amazing voice technology used by nearly every voice equipment manufacturer. This summer, we will release Chariot Contact Center, which takes our technology and puts it directly in the hands of contact center administers. We created this new product after listening to contact center administrators describe a number of they face every day, and the lack of tools necessary to solve the issues.

Creating a Test Series on Ixia BreakingPoint Hardware

A test series allows you to create and run a sequence of individual test scenarios that you have already created. This can be very useful in a variety of scenarios. For example, you may have complex operations that must finish first before moving onto another scenario. A behavioral modeling simulation might be one such use case. As another example, you may wish to safely run tests for longer than 7 days. Typically, 7 days is roughly the maximum we recommend for single test runtimes, due to internal memory and database considerations. Using a test series allows you to circumvent that limit.
