DDoS Attack Using Google Plus Servers

DDoS Attack Using Google Plus Servers

Aug 29, 2011
A Security expert at Italian security firm AIR Sicurezza Informatica has claimed that Google's servers vulnerability allows a hacker to exploit the search giant's bandwidth to launch a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack on any targeted server. On the IHTeam Security Blog , the author of the discovery demonstrates users can make Google's servers act as a proxy to fetch content on their behalf.  Quatrini has written a shell script that will repeatedly prompt Google's servers to make requests to a site of the attacker's choice, effectively using Google's bandwidth rather than their own, in an effort to prevent it from functioning. The advantage of using Google and make requests through their servers, is to be even more anonymous when you attack some site ( TOR+This method ) and the funny thing is that apache will log Google IP addresses. But beware: gadgets/proxy? will send your ip in apache log, if you want to attack, you'll need ...

The Unusual Suspect: Git Repos

The Unusual Suspect: Git Repos

Jul 14, 2025Secrets Management / SaaS Security
While phishing and ransomware dominate headlines, another critical risk quietly persists across most enterprises: exposed Git repositories leaking sensitive data. A risk that silently creates shadow access into core systems Git is the backbone of modern software development, hosting millions of repositories and serving thousands of organizations worldwide. Yet, amid the daily hustle of shipping code, developers may inadvertently leave behind API keys, tokens, or passwords in configuration files and code files, effectively handing attackers the keys to the kingdom. This isn't just about poor hygiene; it's a systemic and growing supply chain risk. As cyber threats become more sophisticated, so do compliance requirements. Security frameworks like NIS2, SOC2, and ISO 27001 now demand proof that software delivery pipelines are hardened and third-party risk is controlled. The message is clear: securing your Git repositories is no longer optional, it's essential. Below, we look at the ris...

19 years old iPhone hacker Nicholas Allegra (comex) joins Apple

19 years old iPhone hacker Nicholas Allegra (comex) joins Apple

Aug 29, 2011
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

Morto Worm spreading via Remote Desktop Protocol

Aug 29, 2011
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...

Killapache: DDOS tool - Half of the Internet is vulnerable now !

Aug 28, 2011
Killapache: DDOS tool - Half of the Internet is vulnerable now ! The Apache Software Foundation has announced a denial-of-service vulnerability that affects all versions of the ubiquitous Apache web server, leaving up to 65% of all websites vulnerable. A unknown flaw in the code for processing byte range headers allows versions 2.2.x of the Apache Web Server to be crippled from a single PC. 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. This method is used by programs such as download clients to resume downloads that have been interrupted; it is designed to reduce bandwidth requirements. However, it appears that stating mul...
