uTorrent & BitTorrent Sites Hacked, Spread Security Shield Malware Attackers hijacked two popular Torrent websites "bittorrent.com and utorrent.com" and tampered with their download mechanisms, causing visitors trying to obtain file-sharing software to instead receive malware. The site reported on its blog  that the attack had occurred at around 04:20 Pacific Daylight Time (11:20 GMT) on Tuesday. Initially, the incursion was also thought to have affected the servers of the main BitTorrent site, but further investigation revealed this site had been unaffected by the attack. Once installed, Security Shield delivers false reports that a computer is infected with multiple pieces of malware and prompts the user for payment before claiming to disinfect the machine. The attack affected only users who downloaded and installed software from bittorrent.com and utorrent.com during the hour-and-fifty-minute window that the sites were compromised. Those who installed software pr...

Book : Backtrack 5 Wireless Penetration Testing by Vivek Ramachandran This book will provide a highly technical and in-depth treatment of Wi-Fi security. The emphasis will be to provide the readers with a deep understanding of the principles behind various attacks and not just a quick how-to guide on publicly available tools. We will start our journey with the very basics by dissecting WLAN packet headers with Wireshark, then graduate to the next level by cracking WEP, WPA/WPA2 and then move on to real life challenges like orchestrating Man-in-the-Middle attacks, creating Wi-Fi Honeypots and compromise networks running WPA-Enterprise mechanisms such as PEAP and EAP-TTLS. Even though touted as a Beginner's Guide, this book has something for everyone - from the kiddies to the Ninjas. You can purchase the book from: Global: http://www.amazon.com/BackTrack-Wireless-Penetration-Testing-Beginners/dp/1849515581/ India: http://www.packtpub.com/backtrack-5-wireless-penetration-testi...

McAfee DeepSAFE - Anti-rootkit Security Solution McAfee previewed its DeepSAFE hardware-assisted security technology for proactively detecting and preventing stealthy advanced persistent threats (APTs) and malware. The technology, which was co-developed with Intel, sits below the OS, providing the ability to fundamentally change the security game, according to the companies. According to McAfee Labs, more than 1,200 new rootkits per day are detected - equating to 50 per hour every single day. The DeepSAFE technology, which was demonstrated at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco, was able to detect and stop a zero-day Agony rootkit from infecting a system in real time. This technology is expected to launch in products later in 2011. Key attributes of McAfee DeepSAFE: Builds the foundation for next-generation hardware-assisted security operating beyond the operating system Provides a trusted view of system events below the operating system Exposes many attacks that are un...
