At Black Hat Europe 2007 Dror-John Roecher and Michael Thumann showed how they were able to hack the Cisco NAC solution by exploiting a fundamental design flaw. In this video they illustrate how they worked towards this discovery and give us some exploit details. It is not their intention to simply release a tool, they want the audience to understand how Cisco NAC works and why it is not as secure as Cisco wants us to believe.

    Cisco support has gone down the tubes. I remember calling sales and getting someone who actually could help. Now They are refusing to support Vista with my Pix firewall VPN, I need remote logon for my domain. (SBL) They did everything (including blaming Micrsoft) not to fix my problem. I would expect more out of Cisco then to make a client that only Half works for vista. No plans to make it right, very lame....

  • Cisco mainly ...

    Cisco mainly positions its NAC appliance solution which is widely deployed and is a very reliable solution and not the NAC framework mentioned. If the hacking was truly done, how come they did not demo it? and how come they did not talk about other vendors?
    Seeing is believing: anybody can talk and claim that they hacked any system and if there is no concrete proof and clear explanation of how testing was done and proper analysis and explanation of results, this information is simply worthless

    Thanks for posting this video. I got to meet these guys at BH America and I have to say their work is amazing. The research and reverse engineering work alone seemed overwhelming and the hack was brilliant. Thanks for the vid.

  • An in all honesty, ...

    An in all honesty, most (if not all) NAC technologies out there suffer from a similar type of flaw. As rightly said at the begining, you are asking an end-device for posture information, which quite frankly can be spoofed - in some cases easily, in other cases not so easily.
