Toyota 4x4 - Toyota Land Cruiser Hacked by The 077 Hacked site :  http://4x4-toyota.fr/

The Internet System Consortium's (ISC) open source DHCP client (dhclient) allows DHCP servers to inject commands which could allow an attacker to obtain root privileges. The problem is caused by incorrect filtering of metadata in server response fields. By using crafted host names, and depending on the operating system and what further processing is performed by dhclient-script, it can allow commands to be passed to the shell and executed. A successful attack does, however, require there to be an unauthorised or compromised DHCP server on the local network. Dhclient versions 3.0.x to 4.2.x are affected. The ISC has released an update. Alternatively, users can deactivate host name evaluation or add an additional line to dhclient-script. Instructions for doing so can be found in the ISC's advisory. Alongside dhclient-script, X.org's 'X server resource database utility' (xrdb) is also affected, as it also evaluates host names transferred via DHCP. Crafted host name...

Against the backdrop of the attack on its website by " Pakistan Cyber Army ", the CBI is considering to send its team to the US and Europe to trace hackers involved in the defacement. Sources said the agency officials have pin-pointed three Internet Protocol (IP) address -- a unique numerical label borne by each computer in a network that use worldwide web for communications -- two originated from Seattle, Pennsylvania in the US and other in Daugavpils, Latvia in northern Europe. They said the agency has moved a local court here seeking permission to access authorities in the US and Latvia for collecting information on the IP addresses. The CBI had on December 4 last year registered a case against unknown persons of " Pakistani Cyber Army " for hacking and defacement of its website under various Sections of Information Technology Act.

A new rootkit that uses the master boot record (MBR) to hide itself has been discovered in China and is being used to install an online game password stealer. The bootkit is installed on the computer by a trojan downloader distributed from a Chinese adult site and is detected by Kaspersky as Rookit.Win32.Fisp.a. Once executed, the rootkit makes a copy of the old MBR and replaces the sectors with its own code which includes an encrypted driver. When the computer boots, the malicious code executes and restores the original MBR so that Windows can load normally. It then uses hooks to replace the fips.sys system driver with a malicious one. "It should be noted that the driver fips.sys is not required for the operating system to run correctly, so the system won’t crash when it is replaced," says Kaspersky Lab expert Vyacheslav Zakorzhevsky. The driver scans loaded processes to determine if they belong to one of over a dozen antivirus programs and prevent them from running...
