USB Immunizer : Anti-Malware Tool Against Autorun Viruses

USB Immunizer : Anti-Malware Tool Against Autorun Viruses

May 03, 2011
USB Immunizer : Anti-Malware Tool Against Autorun Viruses The USB immunizer is BitDefender's response to this growing issue. Autorun-based malware has been atop of the worldwide e-threat landscape, with notorious representatives such as Trojan.AutorunInf, the Conficker worm (Win32.Worm.Downadup) or Worm.Autorun.VHD. Have to agree on that, many of us get infected buy some silly malware simply by plugin in our friends or neighbours USB , DVD etc… Introduced back in the Windows XP era to facilitate software installations from CD-ROM media for non-technical computer users, the Autorun feature has rapidly become the infection vector of choice for cyber-criminals. The Immunize option allows you to immunize your USB storage device or SD card against infections with autorun-based malware. Even if your storage device has been plugged into an infected computer, the piece of malware will be unable to create its autorun.inf file, thus annihilating any chance of auto-launching itself. Th...

Sony loses 12,700 credit card account numbers, 24.6 million accounts compromised Following up on this morning's news that Sony Online Entertainment servers were offline across the board, Sony Online Entertainment announced that it has lost 12,700 customer credit card numbers as the result of an attack, and roughly 24.6 million accounts may have been breached. The company took SOE servers offline after learning of the attack last evening, and today detailed the unfortunate results: "approximately 12,700 non-US credit or debit card numbers and expiration dates (but not credit card security codes), and about 10,700 direct debit records of certain customers in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, and Spain" were lost, apparently from "an outdated database from 2007."

Hackers exploit Bin Laden death on Facebook !

Hackers exploit Bin Laden death on Facebook ! A tip to the newbies starting out, reads a post from a man at the Black Hat World forums, now's a good time to make some money out of Bin Laden's death. The news is awash with reports about Bin Laden shot by the US and then buried at sea. Twitter and Facebook are full of either jokes, or ghoulish approval of the death of the international terrorist. One poster says it's time to monetise the reports, "NOW!" There are four easy steps, he says. Tap into the collective hive-mind of the patriotic American by starting a fan page, "something like Osama Bin Laden Dead - Rot in Hell". Next, invite people. Watch it go viral, you'll "probably get 90% USA FB users." Then, crucially, save it so you can promote a product later on. Source : https://www.hackinthebox.org

Source Code is the New Hacker Currency !

Source Code is the New Hacker Currency !

May 02, 2011
Source Code is the New Hacker Currency ! No doubt you've been paying attention to the data breaches pile up lately... but have you noticed a trend? If you wade through the hype and hyperbole, dig into the details of the most prolific intrusions in recent history you'll notice one thing that shines like a neon sign. "Source code" is the new hotness on the hacker market. It's quite interesting to see this evolution primarily because many of us are used to defending the 'endpoints'... because that's where the data is, right? I think we may be seeing a shift here. Much like the tectonic plates that cause earthquakes, there are some though-forces that are currently colliding deep under the surface and may cause certain mayhem. "There are no borders" For many years now, much like you I've been reading articles and hearing talks about how the enterprise attack surface is fractured and splintered -causing an ever-increasing opportu...

Bahrain says Iranian hackers hit government website

Bahrain says Iranian hackers hit government website

May 02, 2011
Bahrain says Iranian hackers hit government website Bahrain's authorities said late Saturday that Iranian hackers hit a government website. In retaliation, the Bahrain Chamber for Commerce and Industry is urging a boycott of Iranian goods, The Associated Press reported. According to the government Bahrain News Agency, Iranian computer hackers tried to access the official website of the Housing Ministry in attempts to seek data on aid recipients. But the agency gave no further details, although the hacking could be conceivably linked to Shiite allegations that a disproportionate share of housing aid goes to Sunnis. To retaliate, the Bahrain Chamber for Commerce and Industry called for a countrywide boycott of all Iranian goods and services because of "blatant interference in Bahrain's domestic affairs and threats to the kingdom's national security." The chamber also appealed for other nations in the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council to join the proposed embargo. "It will ...

The website of the Office of the Supreme Leader, Sayyid Ali Khamenei, was taken offline about an hour after attacks according to the groups' hit list but had been reinstated at the ti...

May 02, 2011
ArpON 2.2 released - ARP handler inspection ! ArpON (ARP handler inspection) is a portable handler daemon that make ARP secure in order to avoid the Man In The Middle (MITM) through ARP Spoofing/Poisoning attacks. It detects and blocks also derived attacks by it for more complex attacks, as: DHCP Spoofing, DNS Spoofing, WEB Spoofing, Session Hijacking and SSL/TLS Hijacking & co attacks. This is possible using three kinds of anti ARP Poisoning tecniques: the first is based on SARPI or "Static ARP Inspection" in statically configured networks without DHCP; the second on DARPI or "Dynamic ARP Inspection" in dinamically configured networks having DHCP; the third on HARPI or "Hybrid ARP Inspection" in "hybrid" networks, that is in statically and dynamically (DHCP) configured networks together. SARPI, DARPI and HARPI protects both unidirectional, bidirectional and distributed attacks: into "Unidirectional protection" is required th...
