19 years old iPhone hacker Nicholas Allegra (comex) joins Apple 19 years old iOS hacker Nicholas Allegra, better known online as comex, has taken up an internship position at Apple, the company whose devices he has helped jailbreak for the past several years. Comex is most well known for building the one click iPhone jailbreaking site JailBreakMe.Com . This allows iPhone users to simply visit the site and click “install” to jailBreak and install Cydia . Allegra tweeted the news on Thursday, saying that he’d been pretty bored lately and that he’ll start at Apple in two weeks. Jailbreakers say that they want to have more control over their phones, and programs like those Comex produces help iPhone users circumvent some of the strictures of Apple’s iOS system. The programs also can cause security issues if programmers with more sinister intentions use them. From that angle, it’s a great idea for Apple to take Comex on board. He definitely knows the holes in Apple’s systems a...

Morto Worm spreading via Remote Desktop Protocol Organizations large and small often make use of Remote Desktop or Terminal Services to remotely connect to Windows computers over the Internet and internally. These tools use Microsoft’s RDP protocol to allow the user to operate the remote system almost as if sitting in front of it. Such capabilities are helpful for not only legitimate users, but also for attackers. F-Secure is reporting that the worm is behind a spike in traffic on Port 3389/TCP. Once it’s entered a network, the worm starts scanning for machines that have RDP enabled. Vulnerable machines get Morto copied to their local drives as a DLL, a.dll, which creates other files detailed in the F-Secure post. The emergence of this worm correlates with the increased volumes of TCP port 3389 traffic, reported by SANS Internet Storm Center a few days prior to the F-Secure report: The propagation approach employed by “ Morto ” is often used by penetration testers and human at...

A suitable “ Apache Killer ” Perl script that impressively demonstrates the problem. How does killapache DDOS tool work? killapache sends GET requests with multiple “byte ranges” that will claim large portions of the system’s memory space. A “byte range” statement allows a browser to only load certain parts of a document, for example bytes 500 to 1000. It is normally used while downloading large files.
