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 ...

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 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...
