Manila AT&T hackers linked to 26/11 Mumbai terror attack Police in the Philippines working with the US Federal Bureau of Investigation have arrested four people over a premium-line phone scam that targeted customers of the American telecommunications giant AT&T to funnel money to a Saudi-based militant group. These four suspected hackers accused of funnelling profits from attacking corporate telephone networks to an Islamic terrorist group blamed for the attacks on Mumbai three years ago. The four suspects allegedly targeted PBX systems maintained by AT&T and gained access to corporate phone lines that they resold at a profit to call centres. The low-level scam resulted in estimated losses of $2m and ran between at least October 2005 and December 2008, and possibly earlier.The operation was allegedly financed by Jemaah Islamiyah, a proscribed Pakistani terrorist organisation blamed for the terrorist attack in Mumbai, India, in November 2008. FBI declined to give offici

New Apache Reverse Proxy Flaw Allows Access to Internal Network Apache acknowledged another reverse proxy issue (CVE-2011-4317) which was discovered by Apache developer from Red Hat while creating a QualysGuard vulnerability signature for an older problem CVE-2011-3368. Depending on the reverse proxy configuration, the vulnerability could allow access to internal systems from the Internet. In order to set up Apache HTTPD to run as a reverse proxy, server administrators use specialized modules like mod_proxy and mod_rewrite. Apache developers are working on a fix of a flaw in its web server software that creates a possible mechanism to access internal systems.The zero-day vulnerability only rears its ugly head if reverse proxy rules are configured incorrectly and is far from easy to exploit, but it is nonetheless nasty. The problem isn't new and a vulnerability that allowed similar attacks was addressed back in October. However, while reviewing the patch for it, Qualys research

The database will include ethical hackers and programmers who can protect country's cyberspace. They will all be registered with the National Security Database, a brainchild of Information Sharing and Analysis Centre (ISAC) , a non profit foundation which works closely with the Government on the issue of cyber security. The need of such database originated after 2008 attacks in Mumbai when the cyber security professionals realised that a lot needed to be done in the area. "It is observed that some or other form of electronic n

New Approach to automatically detecting bugs and vulnerabilities in Linux Australian researcher Silvio Cesare , PhD student at Deakin University has released a tool capable of automatically detecting bugs and vulnerabilities in embedded Linux libraries. Developers may "embed" or "clone" code from 3rd party projects. This can be either statically link against external library or maintaining an internal copy of a library's source or fork a copy of a library's source. The Approach of this tools is that if a source package has the other package's filenames as a subset, it is embedded, Packages that share files are related. A graph of relationships has related packages as cliques. Graph Theory is used to perform the analysis. Linux vendors have previously used laborious manual techniques to find holes in libraries. Debian alone manually tracks some 420 embedded packages, Cesare said at Ruxcon 2011. Silvio's tool also automates identifying if embedded packages have outstanding vulne

Cotton Candy USB with Dual-Core Computer can turns Any Screen Into an Android Station Norwegian company FXI Technologies has been showing a USB stick-sized portable computer prototype, featuring with a dual-core 1.2-GHz CPU, 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, HDMI-out and a microSD card slot for memory. Codenamed Cotton Candy because its 21 gram weight is the same as a bag of the confection, the tiny PC enables what its inventor calls "Any Screen Computing," the ability to turn any TV, laptop, phone, tablet, or set-top box into a dumb terminal for its Android operating system. The Cotton Candy has a USB 2.0 connector on one end and an HDMI jack on the other. When connected to an HDTV, it uses the HDMI port for video, the USB for power, and Bluetooth to connect to a keyboard, mouse, or tablet for controlling the operating system. The device can output up to 1080p so even a full HD screen can display the Candy's preloaded Android 2.3 operating system at its native resolution. The dual core CP

Is it hard to crack full Disk Encryption For Law Enforcement ? If you'd rather keep your data private, take heart: disk encryption is a lot harder to break than techno-thriller movies and TV shows make it out to be, to the chagrin of some branches of law enforcement. MrSeb writes with word of a paper titled " The growing impact of full disk encryption on digital forensics " that illustrates just how difficult it is. According to the paper, co-authored by a member of US-CERT. Abstract of Paper is available here , and Short Info written below: The increasing use of full disk encryption (FDE) can significantly hamper digital investigations, potentially preventing access to all digital evidence in a case. The practice of shutting down an evidential computer is not an acceptable technique when dealing with FDE or even volume encryption because it may result in all data on the device being rendered inaccessible for forensic examination. To address this challenge, there is

PHP Vulnerability Hunter v.1.1.4.6 - Automated fuzz testing tool This is the application that detected almost all of the web application vulnerabilities listed on the advisories page. PHP Vulnerability Hunter is an advanced automated whitebox fuzz testing tool capable of triggering a wide range of exploitable faults in PHP web applications. Minimal configuration is necessary to begin a scan; PHP Vulnerability Hunter doesn't even need a user specified starting URI. At the core of the PHP Vulnerability Hunter scan algorithm is dynamic program analysis. Unlike many vulnerability scanners and fuzz tools that rely on static analysis, PHP Vulnerability Hunter analyzes the program as it's running to get a clear view of all input vectors. That means better code coverage and as a result greater confidence in code security. ChangeLog: Added code coverage report Updated GUI validation Several instrumentation fixes Fixed lingering connection issue Fixed GUI and report viewer crashes related
