Offensive Elbox driver and consequences for Poseidon
Chris Hodges writes:
Dear Poseidon Users,
in the last few days, there were rumours posted to ann.lu, claiming that
the usb.device, that is provided by Elbox Computer Inc. for the Spider USB
PCI card would contain malicious code. This code was posted disassembled
on various websites. This source code, if assemblied into an executable,
would indeed have the ability to kill the RDB (if it was found in block
0). Code destroying data on purpose like this is illegal in most countries
(including Germany) and moreover, is one of the ethically worst things
I've ever seen.
As the source of this security warning was an anonymous poster and
therefore was not reliable, I wanted to check for myself. So I loaded the
usb.device (some friendly Mediator user sent me, as Elbox never offered me
a SpiderCD to check the contents of the CD), let it decrypt itself and
just searched for the 'RDSK' string in the driver (as seen on the
disassembled source code on the websites). No disassembly was used. The
string was found. I could therefore verify that the offensive code is at
least in version 1.2 of the device, I had here to test (there is
absolutely NO reason why 'RDSK' would appear in an usb hardware device
driver).
I gave Elbox the chance to clear things up in public by posting an apology
and removing the code. They didn't. Instead, they said that all my
"doubts" would be answered in the press statement released yesterday and
ignored the consequences that I already had proposed to them.
Well, my "doubts", which actually are facts, that I could see with my own
eyes, remain. Any Mediator user can check this by using a memory monitor
and searching for the usb.device in memory (after loading up Poseidon) and
see, if there's the 'RDSK' ID string within the next 10000 bytes.
As a consequence, I have to warn Mediator users that their machine is in
danger, when running the usb.device. In the non-memory protected Amiga
environment it might get damaged at any time and then cause the routine
that kills the RDB to become active. The next update of Poseidon will
refuse to load up the usb.device, if it detects malicious code. This is
to protect yourself from damage and myself from being held liable for any
loss of data or damage done.
Moreover, I hereby withdraw the permission to include Poseidon in ELBOX's
software distributions, until they
- admit, that the code was in their driver,
- admit, that they have constantly lied to the users,
- have placed a public apology for the first time in their life,
- and have removed any malicious code.
I don't want Poseidon to be included with third party software, that's
highly illegal and whose originators don't deserve any trust.
I do understand that people try to protect their work from being hacked. I
do this too, but not by risking the data of legal users and I cannot
tolerate this offensive behaviour any longer (I admit, I'm again rather
upset and therefore this statement is not as objective as it could have
been).
The Spider users out there are adviced to confront Elbox with the demands
mentioned above, so to allow Poseidon again accept the usb.device driver.
I hope that you believe the facts and my worries and understand the steps
taken.
(ps)

Elbox dispels rumours about usb.device
Press release: For long years, our company has been making efforts to make users of our hardware proud that they receive the best software support. This support is also the most dynamically expanded in the Amiga market.
Some persons/companies do not like this situation, as they would like to compete with Elbox. They know they cannot, though: they have no knowledge or employees to work with or determination to provide on-going support for their products. However, we continue receiving signals from various sources on attempts at disassembling and hacking our drivers for the purpose of stealing the results of our efforts and work.
In recent days the Amiga community witnessed rumours related to our latest product: the Spider USB 2.0 card. In order to clarify this we feel obliged to respond officially to them.
Rumour: Using the Elbox usb.device with an USB PCI card other than Spider USB 2.0 High-Speed may lead to trashing the disk RDB.
Answer: Not true.
If anyone is trying to run the Elbox usb.device with any USB PCI card other
than Spider USB 2.0 (for which this driver is dedicated), the only result
is that the driver does not work with this card and a requester window
appears on the screen: 'No Spider USB 2.0 card found.'
Rumour: Whoever has a Mediator may modify Spider drivers so that they support USB PCI cards from other parties.
Answer: No.
The Elbox usb.device is software protected by international copyright law.
Only owners of the Spider card are licensed to use these drivers (the
drivers are bundled with the cards). The only legal way to acquire the
usb.device drivers is to buy the original Spider package. The software
is always licensed for a specific person and only that person. The
licence for using the driver does not give any right to modify the
code (which is property of Elbox).
Rumour: The usb.device driver has some procedures, which may damage hdd RDB if any external program accidentally damages the driver code.
Answer: No.
Elbox pays much attention to protect its drivers against any improper operation in case of accidental damage to their code by any external events. To ensure this, Elbox drivers are encrypted. When run, they automatically decrypt themselves and verify internal checksums to guarantee the maximum security of operation. This is the best way to prevent program crash if, due to any reason, the code is damaged when read from the media.
Obviously, even such protection measures cannot protect the program against a hacking attack, that is against a program, which purposefully modifies the code to make some part of it operate in a way different from the original intention. No software available for Amiga computers, including Amiga operating systems, can be 100% protected against such hacking attacks.
We hope that what we have stated here explains away all the doubts for good. As always, we stand with full guarantee for our software and our registered users have no reasons to worry. We develop and distribute software, which is reliable, efficient and innovative.

DeNIC: New DENIC name servers are showing effect
After inauguration of the new servers - among other places one in Tokio
and two in the USA - the response times for DE domains were decreased
dramatically. User in Asia, North America and from the Pacific area are
gaining most. This was shown by measurements of the Japanese domain
register authority JPRS and the DENIC. Recently Internet users from Japan,
Corea, China or Australia had to wait 300 milli seconds avaragely, this
values were more than halved now. Most drastically this decrease shows
effect in Japan where the times were cut from 270 to less than 5 milli
seconds. Requests from the USA for DE domains are also answered faster
now by the both new servers at the American east and west coast. The
response times were reduced from about 170 to 70 milli seconds.

Audio: OctaMED SoundStudio 2 for Amiga discontinued
RBF Software have announced that development of the sample sequencer 'OctaMED
SoundStudio 2' for Amiga has been discontinued. According to RBF, the only
chance for further development would be if the makers of the new Amiga were
ready to talk with RBF Software about a possible new version.
"If you still want to see OctaMED arise again on the new Amiga,
the only way forward is if the manufacturers of the new Amiga
are willing to hold talks regarding a possible new version."
