We blogged about the Epsilon data breach to give our customers a heads-up on the situation. Recently, our ThreatSeeker® Network discovered a Web attack that takes advantage of the unfortunate news. As with anything our ThreatSeeker Network discovers, Websense customers are protected by ACE, our Advanced Classification Engine. The attack is hosted on a Web page that has a very professional look and feel, and uses convincing social engineering techniques to lure victims. The attack page is basically a cut-and-paste copy of the HTML code from the original Epsilon press release. This provides the professional appearance of the Epsilon site to lure victims. The big difference is that the attack page provides a malicious binary download. Screenshot of the attack page source code: The attack page tries to get visitors to download the malicious binary by convincing them that there was an update to the press release dated April 8th. The "update" states that Epsilon's inv...

Oracle to release 73 security vulnerabilities security patch update ! Oracle plans to release a large number of security patches for its various software products next week, including six bug-fixes for its flagship database software. All told, there will be 73 security vulnerabilities fixed across Oracle's various product lines. Oracle releases patches quarterly for all of its software, except the Java virtual machine, in a set of patches it calls the Critical Patch Update (CPU). Next week's CPU is due on Tuesday. There are nine fixes set for Oracle Fusion middleware, 14 for the PeopleSoft Suite and eight for the JD Edwards Suite. Two of the database flaws are considered critical, meaning they "may be exploited over a network without the need for a username and password," Oracle said in a statement posted to its website . The updates are set to come one week after Microsoft issued one of the largest collections of security patches it has ever issued. They a...

THC-Amap v5.3 - application protocol detection Released , Download Now ! Amap was innovative - the first tool to perform application protocol detection. Then a better approach was implemented into nmap, this and the large user base of nmap made amap pretty much obsolete. So today, I recommend to rather use nmap -sV for application fingerprinting rather than amap (although in some circumstances amap will yield better results, but these are rare). Still, after 5 years there is an update to amap. The reason for this is IPv6. nmap still does not have a good IPv6 support, e.g. UDP port scanning is not possible. Hence for this v5.3 release in April 2011 that enhances amap to perform better UDP IPv6 support (before only application fingerprinting did work here, now the port scanning feature works too). amap-5.3.tar.gz
