A data-stealing Trojan affecting Android devices has emerged in China. The Geinimi Trojan sends location co-ordinates, unique device identifiers, and a list of installed apps on the infected device to a remote server. Additionally, it can independently download applications and prompts the user to install them, mobile security company Lookout said on Wednesday. "Geinimi's author(s) have raised the sophistication bar significantly over and above previously observed Android malware by employing techniques to obfuscate its activities," Lookout said in a blog post on Wednesday. "In addition to using an off-the-shelf bytecode obfuscator, significant chunks of command-and-control data are encrypted. While the techniques were easily identified and failed to thwart analysis, they did substantially increase the level of effort required to analyse the malware." When an application containing the Trojan is launched on an Android device, the Trojan will run in the backgro

The introduction of Open AI's ChatGPT was a defining moment for the software industry, touching off a GenAI race with its November 2022 release. SaaS vendors are now rushing to upgrade tools with enhanced productivity capabilities that are driven by generative AI. Among a wide range of uses, GenAI tools make it easier for developers to build software, assist sales teams in mundane email writing, help marketers produce unique content at low cost, and enable teams and creatives to brainstorm new ideas.  Recent significant GenAI product launches include Microsoft 365 Copilot, GitHub Copilot, and Salesforce Einstein GPT. Notably, these GenAI tools from leading SaaS providers are paid enhancements, a clear sign that no SaaS provider will want to miss out on cashing in on the GenAI transformation. Google will soon launch its SGE "Search Generative Experience" platform for premium AI-generated summaries rather than a list of websites.  At this pace, it's just a matter of a short time befo

Sony PlayStation 3 hacked, PS3 jailbreak Fail0verflow method. Sony PlayStation 3 has successfully been hacked by a team of hackers named fail0verflow thanks to its poor public key cryptography. The hacker group demonstrated their hacking tricks at the Chaos Communication Conference 27C3 in 45 minutes. Hackers stated that they could crack PS3 through its feeble cryptographic implementation. The hacker team discovered several of Sony's security downfalls with its PS3 after their deep research on the system. They said that it was so easy to get into PS3's innards, if intruded through its weak public key cryptography. They worked with an aim to restore PS3's Linux capability. Sony has removed Linux capability of original PS3 and PS3 Slim. In their presentation, at the Chaos Communication Conference, the PS3 hacker team elaborately explained how they managed to hack the gaming device from Sony. They said they have been working through the device's several security levels that conta

ddosim is a tool that can be used in a laboratory environment to simulate a distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack against a target server. The test will show the capacity of the server to handle application specific DDOS attacks. ddosim simulates several zombie hosts (having random IP addresses) which create full TCP connections to the target server. After completing the connection, ddosim starts the conversation with the listening application (e.g. HTTP server). ddosim is written in C++ and runs on Linux. Its current functionalities include: HTTP DDoS with valid requests HTTP DDoS with invalid requests (similar to a DC++ attack) SMTP DDoS TCP connection flood on random port In order to simulate such an attack in a lab environment we need to setup a network like this: Download :   ddosim-0.2.tar.gz More Info : 1)   DDOSIM at Sourceforge
