A Thailand-based news website critical of Myanmar's military government says it has been hacked by unknown attackers who posted fake articles on it. The Irrawaddy website is run by exiled  Myanmar  journalists. It said on its home page Sunday that it was trying to fix the problem and prevent further attacks. The Irrawaddy's coverage of Myanmar has included exclusive photos of secret military missions to North Korea . It has been the target of several denial-of-service attacks that are meant to make the site unreachable. The fake articles concerned an alleged feud between Irrawaddy's editor and pro-democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi , and the purported death of a popular singer.

Host-Extract - Host/IP Pattern Extractor Tool ! This little ruby script tries to extract all IP/Host patterns in page response of a given URL and JavaScript/CSS files of that URL. With it, you can quickly identify internal IPs/Hostnames, development IPs/ports, cdn, load balancers, additional attack entries related to your target that are revealed in inline js, css, html comment areas and js/css files. This is unlike web crawler which looks for new links only in anchor tags (<a) or the like. In some cases, host-extract may give you false positives when there are some words like - main-site_ver_10.2.1.3.swf. With -v option, you can ask the tool to output html view-source snippets for each IP/Domain extracted. This will shorten your manual analysis time.

Inbox.com Cross Site Scripting ( XSS ) vulnerability ! Reflected cross-site scripting vulnerabilities arise when data is copied from a request and echoed into the application's immediate response in an unsafe way. An attacker can use the vulnerability to construct a request which, if issued by another application user, will cause JavaScript code supplied by the attacker to execute within the user's browser in the context of that user's session with the application. The attacker-supplied code can perform a wide variety of actions, such as stealing the victim's session token or login credentials, performing arbitrary actions on the victim's behalf, and logging their keystrokes. Users can be induced to issue the attacker's crafted request in various ways. For example, the attacker can send a victim a link containing a malicious URL in an email or instant message. They can submit the link to popular web sites that allow content authoring, for example in...

Top defense and intelligence officials reiterated their commitment to information-sharing at a Senate hearing Thursday, even as they outlined new safeguards to prevent a repeat of the WikiLeaks breach that has led to the release of thousands of classified military reports and diplomatic cables. The Defense Department, for example, is striving to proceed with needed protections "without reverting to pre-9/11 stovepipes," Chief Information Officer Teresa Takai told the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. To stop unauthorized downloading of files to CDs, the department has disabled the "write" function on almost 90 percent of some 220,000 computers with access to the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network, or SIPRNet, she said. The Pentagon is also beefing up information security training while tightening log-in access to SIPRNet machines through the use of "smart cards" in place of unwieldy password systems. At the Office of t...
