CyanogenMod: from bedroom Android hack to million dollar mobile OS Interview Third-party mod is set to hit the big time By Matthew Bolton January 11th CyanogenMod is one of the most popular third-party Android ROMs available, with over 8 million users. It's an operating system that's grown from the modding community into a mainstream alternative to what your current mobile phone offers. Hate Samsung's TouchWiz? Then CyanogenMod offers a more grown-up user interface. Fed up with HTC Sense or the vanilla look of pure Android on your Nexus? Then CM brings a viable alternative but there's a predicament that's been weighing on the minds of its development team. "I think that for every one person that does install CyanogenMod, there's maybe five or six that try but don't finish. I had one of our board members try to install it, and he actually gave up," laughs Koushik Dutta, one of CyanogenMod's lead developers (known to the community as Koush). The problem of getting people to actually use its software isn't something the CyanogenMod team has taken lightly. In fact, it's one of the spurs that has pushed the team into turning its community-based, open-source Android spin-off into a full-on business venture: Cyanogen Inc. With $7 million in funding behind it, the core CM team, including Koush and CyanogenMod's founder Steve Kondik (known as Cyanogen), is now working on turning the enthusiast-friendly ROM into a mainstream hit. And the first challenge is making it easy to install. Jumping hurdles "What we hear from everybody is that, 'Yeah, I share this with my friends and I think it's great, but then I tell them what they have to do to install it and they bail'," says Kondik. "So we've made this installer. We say it's one-click, though in reality it's more like three clicks. But we've been doing some pretty extensive usability testing on it, because the big goal here is to get CM to as many people as possible. "We think that the whole walled garden approach is fine, but it's getting tired, and people want an alternative, and we've absolutely proven that. By having this installer, the current growth is just going to go crazy. It's just going to sky rocket." The team behind CyanogenModHe's not joking – after announcing the Cyanogen business, the brand new servers were brought to their knees from 38 million downloads in just one month. And the team was keen to point out that, while the installer is seen as the crucial first step to making CM more popular outside of hardcore Android users, it's only the beginning. "We need to make it really easy to install, and then we have to start building compelling reasons for people to install it," says Koush. "We need to make CyanogenMod really easy to install, and then we have to start building compelling reasons for people to install it." "Right now, the main reason people install it is because what is out there is just… not very good. And I don't want the reason that users come to us to be because the competition isn't good. I want the reason users come to us to be because we're awesome." To get to a point where users are being attracted to CM, the team is taking a few different approaches. One aspect is to build more useful services into the operating system, including network-based services. "We're contracting a really notable security researcher, Moxie Marlinspike, to build a secure messaging/iMessage product for us," says Koush. In with the new Another big change will be getting CM installed on phones as the default operating system, starting with a partnership with Oppo on the N1, a new flagship phone. "Oppo had given us support in the past, and when we were forming the company, I told them what was going on. For the global release of the N1, there's an officially supported version of CM, and there's also going to be a limited edition that will actually run CM by default," says Kondik. The Oppo N1 is the first of many official devices"This is just the beginning of bigger things, really. We have the chance to do some experimentation and get everything in place to support something like this, and then next year we'll do something bigger. It's got to be done right, though. "You can't just put some branding on a phone and sell it. You've got to provide something that you can't get elsewhere, especially if you want to make money off the thing. It's going to be important to have a really great platform, really great services. People aren't just going to shell out $800 for a device unless it's really giving them something that they can't get elsewhere." One way to do this is be on a device from a new company, and that's exactly what was announced at CES 2014. It was revealed that Cyanogen Inc was teaming up with a new mobile venture from China - OnePlus. The link? The founder of OnePlus is Pete Lau, a former VP of Oppo. Mass appeal Another opportunity is to use the team's knowledge, and the flexibility of CM's Android roots, to make something new that appeals to a different audience. "CM is absolutely perfect for people who are technical, and everything is designed for people who are technical. We don't want to dumb it down, but we want to wrap some of that stuff in a prettier face. Sometime next year, we're planning on launching something quite a bit bigger that's geared more towards a broader market," says Kondik. "We don't want to dumb CyanogenMod down, but we want to wrap some of that stuff in a prettier face." These plans help to explain why the team wanted to take the chance to push CM further by creating a business around it, but the decision understandably caused some concerns from the community, while some contributors wanted to know whether they would get paid a portion of the new business money for the work they put in. "I think some of the younger guys have this vision that Steve and I got written this seven million dollar check that went into our bank accounts," says Koush. "The money that we got is to build a business, so it's hiring people, paying them, building out an office, paying for the servers that have been donated for so long, paying for bandwidth… Paying for so many different things that it's scary looking through the transactions of our bank account." Keeping competitive The new company has also announced that some of the work it will do will be proprietary, leading to concerns over the future of the open-source project. Kondik understands these fears, but is fairly bullish that they're unfounded. "When you look at Android, it was done with a very specific goal in mind – to really screw up an industry that had gone so far down the proprietary software route that it was hopeless. And they totally succeeded. But now it's happening again, and we're hoping to be the answer to that," he says. "But you have to find a balance. The things that we won't be releasing are the things that give us a competitive edge. We won't release the source code for our installer. That would be crazy." "But we don't have any plans to close source any of the existing stuff," he says, definitively. "We're building on top of the open source project. We're not even maintaining a closed fork of CM internally. Anything that we need to do to support our own applications, we'll build the APIs [application programming interface] into the open source side and ship that. Cid is CyanogenMod's slightly angry mascot "Going forward, you're going to see two release branches. One is going to be business as usual, what we're releasing today. Then you're going to see a version that comes with extra stuff that we've done that we think is pretty awesome." "We're in this for the long haul. We think it's going to be a big company. We're not trying to make a quick buck and then get out. Some community members have also worried about the pressure on a business to make money, and how that will affect CM at large. "Right now, we're following the great Silicon Valley idea of 'get the users, and the money will come later'," says Kondik. "We're in this for the long haul. We think it's going to be a big company. We're not trying to make a quick buck and then get out. We're trying to build something important. There's too much time, and too many emotions from too many people involved to give it anything less than what it deserves." Gaining ground It's important for a project like CyanogenMod to remember the emotions and history that went into getting it to where it is today. When Kondik and Koush look back on the early days, they talk about the speed of growth and voracity of its contributors as though they're not quite sure it really happened. The first official phone with Cyanogen Mod was the Oppo N1"A few people had looked at different approaches to building on Android, but when I posted my version up, people seemed to really go crazy over it," says Kondik. "It was really awesome because of how quick people were to try it out and give feedback on what's broken and what could be better. So I kept at it for a few months and more people started using it, more people started submitting patches and wanted to work on it. Koush got involved when the first Motorola Droid hit the shelves, porting CM to it." "For a mass consumer release, 'CyanogenMod' doesn't exactly roll off the tongue." "I recall the first year there was maybe only a dozen guys, and then I disappeared for a year, and I came back and there were a hundred guys," says Koush. "And then a year later there were 500, and now there's 2,000. It's just crazy. It's exponential growth for contributors and for users." But despite all the changes that come from changing from a purely contributor and community-driven project to a well funded business, the team promises that the feel of CyanogenMod won't change. Mascot Cid replaced the popular Andy Bugdroid "A lot of the guys who were on the open source project were going to their day jobs and then hacking on CM for a long time, including myself," says Kondik. "And now we just work on CM the whole time. But one thing that has not changed is working very, very late. Until 5 o'clock in the morning," he laughs. But is it the classic Silicon Valley startup with fun toys around the office? "We have a kegerator!" shouts Kondik, proudly. "And a really nice coffee machine," adds Koush. "I think we're all on the same page; the office is somewhere you want to come into and work, so we don't do cubes. We have a really nice setup and design." There is one thing that will change for CyanogenMod when it launches for a mainstream audience, though: the name. The team says that the company will still be called Cyanogen, and the open source project will keep its name, but for reaching a wider audience, the operating system will be called something new. "Yeah, it's changing…" Koush chuckles. "At some point. For a mass consumer release, 'CyanogenMod' doesn't exactly roll off the tongue."

[h=2]Hacking through image: GIF turn[/h] In one of my previous posts I described a way to hack through images. That time I showed how a valid BMP file could be a valid JS file as well, hiding Javascript operations. Today it's time to describe how this attack work with a more common web file format: .GIF. Ange commented on my previous post showing me out his great work on the topic. I recomend to have a look to his study (here). Following my quick 'n dirty python implementation on the technique. The following HTML page wants to parse a GIF file and a JavaScript file which happen to be the same file: 1.gif_malw.gif. Theoretically the file should be or a valid GIF file or a valid JavaScript file. Could it be a valid javacript and a valid image file at the same time ? The answer should be NO. But properly forging the file the answer is YES, it is. Let's assume to have the following HTML page. Browsing this file you'll find out this result: As you can see, both tags (img and script) are succesfully executed. The Image tag is showing the black GIF file and the script tag is doing its gret job by executing a JavaScript (alert('test')). How is it possible ? The following image show one detail about the dirty code who generates the beautiful GIF file. This is not magic at all. This is just my implementation of the GIF parsing bug many libraries have. The idea behind this python code is to create a valid GIF header within \x2F\x2A (aka \*) and then close up the end of the image through a \x2A\x2F (aka *\). Before injecting the payload you might inject a simple expression like "=1;" or the most commonly used "=a;" in order to use all the GIF block as a variable. The following image shows the first part of a forget GIF header to exploit this weakness (click to enlarge). After having injected the "padding" chars (in this case I call padding the " '=a;' characters", which are useful to JS interpreter) it's time to inject the real payload. The small script I've realized automizes this process and you might want to run it in a really easy way: Run-it as: gif.py -i image.gif "alert(\"test\");" Don't forget, you might want to use obfuscators to better hide your javascript like the following example: python gif.py -i 2.gif "var _0x9c4c=[\"\x48\x65\x6C\x6C\x6F\x20\x57\x6F\x72\x6C\x64\x21\",\"\x0A\",\"\x4F\x4B\"];var a=_0x9c4c[0];function MsgBox(_0xccb4x3){alert(_0xccb4x3+_0x9c4c[1]+a);} ;MsgBox(_0x9c4c[2]);" If you wat to check and/or download the code click here.

Just how secure is that mobile banking app? by Paul Ducklin on January 10, 2014 Ariel Sanchez, a researcher at security assesment company IOActive, recently published a fascinating report on the sort of security you can expect if you do your internet banking on an iPhone or iPad. The answer, sadly, seems to be, "Very little." You should head over to IOActive's blog to read the whole report. Sanchez details the results of a series of offline security tests conducted against 40 different iOS banking apps used by 60 different banks in about 20 different countries. Two problems stood out particularly: 70% of the apps offered no support at all for two-factor authentication. 40% of the apps accepted any SSL certificate for secure HTTP traffic. Two-factor authentication Banks are not alone in embracing and promoting two-factor authentication (2FA), also known as two-step verification. Sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Outlook.com all offer, and encourage, the practice, for example by sending you an SMS (text message) containing a one-time passcode every time you try to log in. The extra security this provides is obvious: crooks who steal your regular username and password are out of luck unless they also steal your mobile phone, without which they won't receive the additional codes they need to login each time. You'd think that once a company had gone to the trouble of implementing 2FA for its customers, it would make it available to all its users. But many of the banks, just like the social networks and webmail services, have let their mobile apps lag behind. No support for 2FA, however, pales into insignificance when compared to the second problem: no HTTPS certificate validation. The chain of trust HTTPS certificates rely on a chain of trust, and validating that chain is important. Here's an example of an HTTPS connection, browsing to the "MySophos" download portal using Firefox: If we click on the [More information...] button, we'll see that the chain of trust runs as shown below. GlobalSign vouches for the GlobalSign Extended Validation CA (Certificate Authority), which vouches for Sophos's claim to own Antivirus, Endpoint, Disk Encryption, Mobile, UTM, Email and Web Security | Sophos And GlobalSign is trusted directly by Firefox itself, with that trust propagating downwards to Sophos's HTTPS certificate: This chain of trust stops anyone who feels like it from blindly tricking users with a certificate that says, "Hey, folks, this is sophos.com, trust us!" Anyone can create a certificate that makes such an claim, but unless they can also persuade a trusted CA to sign their home-made certificate, you'll see a warning that something fishy is going on when the imposter tries to mislead you: Digging further will explain the problem, namely that you have no reason to trust the certificate's claim that this really is a sophos.com server: You'll see a similar warning if you visit the imposter site from your iPhone or iPad, too: Again, digging further will reveal the untrusted certificate, and expose the deception, making it clear that you aren't actually dealing with sophos.com at all: Now remember that in IOActive's report, 40% of iOS banking apps simply didn't produce any warnings of that sort when faced with a fake certificate. You can feed those apps any certificate that claims to validate any website, and the app will blindly accept it. So, if the banking app is misdirected to a phishing site, for example while you are using an untrusted network such as a Wi-Fi hotspot, you simply won't know! In fact, it's not that you won't notice, but that you can't notice, and this is completely unacceptable. The silver lining, I suppose, is that 60% of the 40 apps that IOActive tested did notice bogus HTTPS certificates. The problem, though, is how you tell which camp your own bank's app falls into. If you aren't sure, it's probably best just to stick to a full-size computer, and a properly patched browser, for your internet banking. Ironically, we wrote recently about a move by Dutch banks to set some minimum security standards that they will require customers to follow if they are to qualify for refunds of money stolen through phishing, carding or other forms of online fraud. Sounds as though there may be a spot of "Physician, heal thyself" needed here... Sursa: Just how secure is that mobile banking app? | Naked Security

Teen Reported to Police After Finding Security Hole in Website By Kim Zetter 01.08.14 7:44 PM Joshua Rogers. Photo: Simon Schluter. A teenager in Australia who thought he was doing a good deed by reporting a security vulnerability in a government website was reported to the police. Joshua Rogers, a 16-year-old in the state of Victoria, found a basic security hole that allowed him to access a database containing sensitive information for about 600,000 public transport users who made purchases through the Metlink web site run by the Transport Department. It was the primary site for information about train, tram and bus timetables. The database contained the full names, addresses, home and mobile phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, and a nine-digit extract of credit card numbers used at the site, according to The Age newspaper in Melbourne. Rogers says he contacted the site after Christmas to report the vulnerability but never got a response. After waiting two weeks, he contacted the newspaper to report the problem. When The Age called the Transportation Department for comment, it reported Rogers to the police. “It’s truly disappointing that a government agency has developed a website which has these sorts of flaws,” Phil Kernick, of cyber security consultancy CQR, told the paper. “So if this kid found it, he was probably not the first one. Someone else was probably able to find it too, which means that this information may already be out there.” The paper doesn’t say how Rogers accessed the database, but says he used a common vulnerability that exists in many web sites. It’s likely he used a SQL injection vulnerability, one of the most common ways to breach web sites and gain access to backend databases. The practice of punishing security researchers instead of thanking them for uncovering vulnerabilities is a tradition that has persisted for decades, despite extensive education about the important role such researchers play in securing systems. The Age doesn’t say whether the police took any action against Rogers. But in 2011, Patrick Webster suffered a similar consequence after reporting a website vulnerability to First State Super, an Australian investment firm that managed his pension fund. The flaw allowed any account holder to access the online statements of other customers, thus exposing some 770,000 pension accounts — including those of police officers and politicians. Webster didn’t stop at simply uncovering the vulnerability, however. He wrote a script to download about 500 account statements to prove to First State that its account holders were at risk. First State responded by reporting him to police and demanding access to his computer to make sure he’d deleted all of the statements he had downloaded. In the U.S., hacker Andrew Auernheimer, aka “weev”, is serving a three-and-a-half-year sentence for identity theft and hacking after he and a friend discovered a hole in AT&T’s website that allowed anyone to obtain the email addresses and ICC-IDs of iPad users. The ICC-ID is a unique identifier that’s used to authenticate the SIM card in a customer’s iPad to AT&T’s network. Auernheimer and his friend discovered that the site would leak email addresses to anyone who provided it with a ICC-ID. So the two wrote a script to mimic the behavior of numerous iPads contacting the web site in order to harvest the email addresses of about 120,000 iPad users. They were charged with hacking and identity theft after reporting the information to a journalist at Gawker. Auernheimer is currently appealing his conviction. Update 1.9.14: Rogers confirmed to WIRED that the vulnerability he found was a SQL-injection vulnerability. He says the police have not contacted him and that he only learned he’d been reported to the police from the journalist who wrote the story for The Age.

[h=1]Java vulnerabilities keep breeding[/h]Dec 10, 2013 Denis Makrushin As many as 4.2 million attacks using Java exploits were repelled by our Automatic Exploit Prevention system between September 2012 and August 2013. This number indicates two points. The first point, of course, is the efficiency of our technology. The second point, unfortunately, is the fact that the quantity of attacks on Java has not been reduced, but vice versa – it has increased. Various Kaspersky Lab products have blocked about 14.1 million attacks exploiting Java vulnerabilities, which is one-third more than from 2011-2012. Unfortunately, Java has been and remains a headache for all those involved in information security. There are several reasons for that. Firstly, despite all of its flaws, Java is extremely popular with developers (according to some reports, there are about 9 million people worldwide who use it) sine this language allows them to create cross-platform applications, as they all run in the Java Virtual Machine. For this reason, Java has spread enormously on all user platforms. Now, it is being employed by more than three billion devices worldwide. There is also another reason for its popularity: the development of Java started a long time ago, when there was no point warning users about the prevalence of malware or especially exploits; there was no reason to waste time on its security. It’s no wonder then that last year 50% of attacks using exploits were targeted at Java. See the general dynamics of the number of attacks using exploits on the chart below: Since a slight decline in mid 2012, it has been growing. While the other two “favorite” formats for intruders – PDF and Flash – have been, on the contrary, losing “popularity”. One reason for the growing number of attacks is the fact that between September 2012 and August 2013 there were 160 new vulnerabilities discovered, i.e. twice as much as during the previous 12 months. A recent Kaspersky Lab’s study on the evolution of Java exploits shows particular growth (+21%) of the number of attacks from March until August 2013. 80% of the attacks occurred in 10 countries. This list is topped off by the U.S., Russia, Germany and Italy. More than a half of the attacks used exploits related to six well-known groups. In other words, we cannot say that attackers sought to diversify their tools. What do all these frightening numbers mean for business? First of all, you must understand that attackers deliberately search for Java vulnerabilities, so that the use of applications written in this language is unsafe by itself. It does not mean that all of them should be removed immediately, but you must control them. Secondly, the statistics show that Java is not just the most frequently attacked software, but also one of the most reluctantly updated. On average, even a month and a half after the release of another corrected version, most users do not rush to upgrade Java on their devices. And if system administrators can update Java centrally within a corporate infrastructure, user devices may be somewhat tricky. Unfortunately, exploits are a threat even in cases when users are well-versed in IT, aware of the dangers of malware and prompt to update software as soon as new versions are released. The point is that zero day exploits for new vulnerabilities appear before a developer (in this case, Oracle) learns of the existence of these flaws. Hackers and developers are in a race, but the developers constantly “catch up”. And users are at risk all the time between the detection moment and the update release. Eventually, exposing oneself to an attack is quite easy just by visiting any legitimate site with a malicious code embedded by hackers. The surest way to protect against exploits is to use automated tools that block their activity in a preventive mode. Our Automatic Exploit Prevention technology is such a tool. Despite the diversity of existing exploits they all have several similarities. Besides the fact that they are always written for specific software, exploits also have typical behavior patterns, and operate attakcs similarly. This is why for the most vulnerable software products and platforms (including Java) AEP enables the “presumption of guilt” mode, so if it tries to download and run an executable file, it becomes a reason for additional checks, including tracking the source of the launch command and verifying the origin of the file being downloaded. If the file’s characteristics are suspicious, then it’s running is automatically blocked. Here is a good example. In early January an exploit of Java’s zero day vulnerability CVE 2013-0422 was detected. The exploit proved to be extremely efficient with 83% successful attacks. It even got to the point where cyber security experts from US National Security Agency recommended that users should disable the Java plugin in web browsers to protect themselves against malicious attacks that used this previously unknown vulnerability. At the same time, the statistics of Kaspersky Security Network showed that the users of Kaspersky Lab’s products with AEP technology successfully blocked the exploit on the grounds of behavioral analysis even before the incident was made public.

How public tools are used by malware developers, the antivm tale Alberto Ortega October 4, 2013 Malware authors are aware of new technologies and research made by the security community. This is palpable when they implement new vulnerability exploitation on their tools or even reuse source code that belongs to public projects. We have discussed antivm and antisandbox analysis tricks seen in malware samples several times. Not long ago we came across a malware sample that had an interesting way to detect if it was being executed in a virtual environment / sandbox. You have probably heard about pafish or ScoopyNG, tools that pretend to be a proof of concept regarding this topic. Sadly, it is a matter of time that malware developers use that code to implement these techniques in new developments. Our malware sample had a weird behavior when it was executed in a sandbox or virtual environment. Somehow, it was detecting that the environment was hostile for itself, let's see how. It has four different executables embedded on it. One is a copy of pafish, another one a copy of ScoopyNG, and two malicious payloads. At running time it drops and executes the two first ones and it tries to detect if it is running under a virtual machine or sandbox. If none of them detect anything, it drops the malicious payload and continues the execution. We can see it in the malwr.com analysis. As you can see, the sandbox has been detected by pafish and the malware has started to create junk files in an infinite loop. Once we have located the routine, patch that jnz loc_4019B0 to disable the detection is an easy task. After patched, the behavior in malwr.com is completely different. It has dropped more files and tried to resolve four different domains, after that, the box is rebooted. To be sure about what happened next, we can try to run it in our own malware analysis machine. After the box is rebooted, this is what we find. So we have a fake AV in the house! The malicious payloads are a dropper that installs a Braviax variant. In this case, those public tools have helped us to disable the detections. It is very positive to release them to the public to train researchers on these topics. Sadly, sometimes you can find this double-edged sword being used in the wild.

[h=1]NFTables IPTables-Replacement Queued For Linux 3.13[/h] Posted by Michael Larabel in Linux Kernel on 19 October 2013 03:42 PM EDT NFTables is a new firewall subsystem / packet filtering engine for the Linux kernel that is poised to replace iptables. NFTables has been in development for several years by the upstream author of Netfilter. This new nftables system is set to be merged now into the Linux 3.13 kernel. NFTables has been in development for years and to replace IPTables by offering a simpler kernel ABI, reduce code duplication, improved error reporting, and provide more efficient support of filtering rules. Beyond IPTables, it also replaces the ip6tables, arptables, and ebtables frameworks but nftables does offer a compatibility layer to iptables support. For those into networking and wanting to learn more about NFTables, visit its Netfilter.org project page. Earlier this week a pull request was sent in for pulling in nf_tables for the next Linux kernel release through the net-next branch. The pull request was accepted and is now living in the net-next Git repository for Linux 3.13. IPTables won't die off in Linux 3.13 as there's still work ahead for NFTables, but those wanting to try out the new code when it's mainlined can find this how-to guide.

How's My SSL How's My SSL? is a cute little website that tells you how secure your TLS client is. TLS clients just like the browser you're reading this with. How's My SSL? was originally made to help a web server developer learn what real world TLS clients were capable of. It's been expanded to give developers and the very technically-savvy a quick and easy way to learn more about the TLS tools they use. It's also meant to impell developers to modernize and improve their TLS stacks. Many security problems come from engineers simply not knowing what worries to have. How's My SSL? is a demonstration of what those TLS client worries should be. How's My SSL? chooses topics important to today's security environment and analyzes clients in that context. It will never be a complete audit, but it can hit the high notes. Over time, How's My SSL? will change to live in an ever more difficult security environment. It will be kept up by people who care.

The RTLO method January 9, 2014 | By Pieter Arntz After my post about extensions, I received some requests to deal with another method of pretending to be a different type of file. If you have not read that article yet, it will prove helpful to do that first in order to better understand this post. What is RTLO (aka RLO)? The method called RTLO, or RLO, uses the method built into Windows to deal with languages that are written from right to left, the “Right to left override”. Let’s say you want to use a right-to-left written language, like Hebrew or Arabic, on a site combined with a left-to-right written language like English or French. In this case, you would want bidirectional script support. Bidirectional script support is the capability of a computer system to correctly display bi-directional text. In HTML we can use Unicode right-to-left marks and left-to-right marks to override the HTML bidirectional algorithm when it produces undesirable results: left-to-right mark: ? or ? (U+200E) right-to-left mark: ? or ? (U+200F) How is RTLO being abused by malware writers? On systems that support Unicode filenames, RTLO can be used to spoof fake extensions. To do this we need a hidden Unicode character in the file name, that will reverse the order of the characters that follow it. Look for example at this file, a copy of HijackThis.exe, that I renamed using RTLO: The last seven characters in the file name are displayed backwards because I inserted the RTLO character before those seven characters. As discussed in the previous article, assigning a matching icon to a file is a triviality for a programmer. So here we have an executable file that seems to have the PDF extension. Ironically, you will see straight through this deception if you are still running XP, since it does not support these file names: The square symbol shows us where the Unicode RTLO character is placed. One way to catch these fakes on more modern versions of Windows is to set the “Change your view” ruler to “Content”. Set this way, you can see that the files are applications and not a PDF or jpg. This may be a good idea for your “Download” folder(s), so you can check if you have downloaded what you expected to get. Is the RTLO method actively being used? The technique has been know for quite a while and is starting to re-surface. It is not only being used for filenames by the way. A malware known as Sirefef (which Malwarebytes Anti-Malware detects as Trojan.Agent.EC ) uses the RTLO method to trick users into thinking that the entries it puts into the infected machine’s registry are legitimate ones, belonging to Google update. Does this have any effect on the detection of these files? No. Detection of malicious file is never done by a filename alone. So your AV and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware will still recognize these files if they were added to their detection, no matter what they are called or how they are written. Summary: RTLO is used to fake extensions by writing part of the filename or other descriptions back to front. Although the detection by your AV or Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is not altered in any way this trick can be deceiving users at first glance.

Exploit Delivery Networks Posted on January 9, 2014 by darryl Exploit packs are normally set up on a hacker-controlled server. Compromised websites or malicious email links lead unsuspecting users to the drive-by landing page on the server. While this keeps the main control panel, renter’s panel, crypter, statistics, etc all in one place, it’s vulnerable to a take-down resulting in a major disruption and a loss of statistical data among other things. We might be seeing the beginning of a new trend where distributed, self-contained exploit packs are installed on multiple compromised websites. A back-end server pushes out updates to and retrieves statistics from these websites. Take-downs of these compromised websites hosting the exploit packs don’t cause a major disruption anymore. The hackers just compromise other websites and quickly build it back up. This is basically a content delivery network but for exploits — an “Exploit Delivery Network”, if you will. RedKit is a prime example (you can read about it here). Another exploit pack was recently revealed which operates in a similar manner. Special thanks to a colleague of mine who provided me with intel and permission to write about this. Also thanks to a forum administrator who provided me with the files after his site was compromised. Ramayana Exploit Pack The “DotkaChef” exploit pack was discovered several months ago. Its real name is ramayana. Recently, the cybercriminals behind ramayana targeted numerous forums running vulnerable versions of IP.Board (read more here). After successfully exploiting the website, a folder is created with the self-contained exploit pack copied to it. The PHP script verifies that the incoming URL contains the correct parameters and values otherwise you won’t get infected. This prevents researchers from trying to analyze the pack. Here’s an example exploit chain related to ramayana: website/panel/js/fe0e2feefe/?=MDct5ibpFWbf12c8lzM1ATN4YDM1UDMwk zM89SZmVWZmJTZwUmZvMnavwWZuFGcvUGdpNnYld3LvoDc0RHa8NnZ website/panel/js/fe0e2feefe/?f=a&k=3900550685053931 website/panel/js/fe0e2feefe/?f=s&k=3900550685053919 website/panel/js/fe0e2feefe/?f=sm_main.mp3&k=3900550685053942 Here’s the part of the script that sends the exploit over. There are two Java exploits used — atom.jar (CVE-2013-2423) and byte.jar (CVE-2013-1493). The Java applets and their related payloads are the four other files you see in the folder screenshot above. Those files are base64-encoded and are decoded upon delivery. A stats file is also created which contains the key parameter from the URL and a status code. The PHP script defines the values of the status code: The backend system that controls the exploit pack nodes runs Python. It does a health check, builds the exploit pack files, pushes out updates, and other things. And of course there is a dashboard with a statistics panel which is fed by a stat-harvesting script. This appears to be an important measure of an exploit pack’s success and therefore part of most control panels. Summary “RedKit” and ramayana may represent a new class of exploit packs and an evolutionary improvement over their peers. Their exploitation methods remains the same but the delivery system uniquely leverages compromised websites to host disposable components of their exploit pack in order to maximize resiliency, protect their backend systems, and ultimately, to ensure the longevity of their criminal operations. Time will tell if Exploit Delivery Networks become the new norm but it’s something to keep a close eye on nonetheless. Sursa: Exploit Delivery Networks | Kahu Security

China ALSO building encryption-cracking quantum computer You didn't think we'd let the West have all the fun, did you? By Phil Muncaster, 10th January 2014 It’s not just the NSA that’s said to be working on a quantum computer – China is also pulling out all the stops to beat its arch rival with a crypto-cracking machine of its own. The National Natural Science Foundation of China funded 90 quantum-based projects in 2013, with the order from Beijing to get the job done irrespective of the cost, according to South China Morning Post. "The value of the quantum computer to the military and government is so great, its cost has never been considered," Zheziang university professor Wang Haohua told the paper. "Many Chinese scientists abroad, such as myself, have been attracted by the rapid technological development in China and are returning home. We hope to help China catch up with the West. It is not impossible that we may even win the race in the future." As part of the huge effort by academics and military boffins, China has apparently built a three-storey Steady High Magnetic Field Experimental Facility on Hefei Science Island, Anhui province. Once operational, the facility could generate a magnetic field in excess of 45 Tesla, creating a more stable environment for quantum research by increasing the distance between qubits, according to the report. "Under super-strong magnetic fields, the distance between qubits can be increased, making our jobs easier,” project leader Chen Hongwei told the paper. "If qubits can be tamed this way, the first quantum computer may be born inside a magnet.” The latest batch of Edward Snowden docs revealed last week that the NSA has budgeted $79.7m for the development of a quantum computer capable of cracking most kinds of encryption systems. However its “Owning the Net” initiative apparently faces competition from rival projects in the EU and Switzerland, as well as China. Even with the brightest minds on the planet and the unlimited resources of China working on the problem, it could still be decades before a working quantum computer is built, according to some experts. ® Sursa: China ALSO building encryption-cracking quantum computer • The Register

Cuckoo Sandbox 1.0 It took a while. After almost four years of development, ups and downs, more people joining the project and more people using it, we finally reached version 1.0. We've been procrastinating a lot while trying to get this release done, mainly for the concern of having a mature enough software worthy of the release code, but it's finally completed and ready for download! There is a number of improvements, bugfixes and new features available in this release. Most importantly Cuckoo is now provided with a full-fledged Django and MongoDB-powered web interface. Similarly to Malwr, you can use it to submit files and URLs, browse through the analyses as well as search across the full dataset. Other noteworthy additions are support for VMWare ESXi, new modules, more analysis packages and an overall improvement in stability and reliability of the software. Changelog Following is the CHANGELOG for this version: - Introduced Auxiliary modules - Added option to set sniffing interface for each virtual machine - Added option to set snapshot for each virtual machine - Added pagination to API - Added option to REST API to return compressed archives of files ("all" and "dropped") - Added option to set Result Server IP and port for each virtual machine - Added processing module for volatility to analyze memory dumps, disabled by default - Added new "reported" status for analysis tasks - Added automated rescheduling of locked tasks at startup - Added tags to machines - Added reduced behavioral events - Added new Django/Mongo-powered web interface - Added Windows analyzer auxiliary module to disguise the analysis environment - Added VBS, CPL and RTF analysis package - Added generic analysis package to execute samples via cmd.exe - Added MAEC 4.0.1 reporting module - Added filter for private networks in Network Analysis processing module - Added max_analysis_count to cuckoo.conf to automatically shutdown Cuckoo - Added check for available disk space - Added support for BSON logging format - Added option to specify a custom DLL to the analyzer and the analysis packages - Added ICMP protocol dissection - Added ESX Virtual Machine Manager - Slightly improved CuckooMon's stealthiness and stability - Refactored processing to improve performances - Refactored signature engine, introducing event-based signatures to improve performances - Refactored generation of process tree - Transitioned network sniffer to auxiliary module - Renamed MachineManagers to Machinery modules - Renamed Metadata to MMDef reporting module - Fixed virtual machine clock, now is updated to current time or specified by user via --clock option - Fixed bug in Human auxiliary module, now moving cursor to absolute positions - Fixed issue in Human auxiliary module, using SetCursorPos instead of mouse_event - Fixed issues with resolving relative filenames in CuckooMon - Removed support for GrayLog2 - Removed pickle reporting module - Removed MAEC 1.1 reporting module Known Issues At the moment we are only aware of one existing issue when analyzing .NET applications. In most cases you'll have inconsistent results and possibly crashes or sudden termination of the analyzed binary. We are currently investigating the issue and we'll hopefully have a fix in the near future. Conclusions This release represents an important landmark for the maturity of the project. We've made it this far thanks to the support of the community and the outstanding work of our developers and our contributors, committed into providing a valuable open source software to the public and dedicating every bit of time to it.

Kali Linux 1.0.6 Released Posted on: 01-9-2014 Posted by: muts Kernel 3.12, LUKS nuke, Amazon AMI / Google Compute images and more! It’s been a while since our last minor release which makes 1.0.6 a more significant update than usual. With a new 3.12 kernel, a LUKS nuke feature, new Kali ARM build scripts, and Kali AMAZON AMI and Google Compute image generation scripts, not to mention numerous tool additions and updates – this release is really heavily laden with goodness. For more information about what’s new in this release, check the Kali changelog. Kali ARM Build Scripts Now Available This new release brings with it the introduction of the Offensive Security Trusted ARM image scripts – a set of slowly growing scripts that are able to build Kali Linux images for various ARM devices. These scripts will replace the growing number of actual ARM image releases we have in order to reduce the exponentially growing amount of traffic we serve on each release. We will release a short blog post about how to use these scripts in the next few days. LUKS Nuke Patch Added to cryptsetup A couple of days ago, we demonstrated a cool patch for cryptsetup, which introduces a self destruction feature. The response to this post was overwhelmingly positive, as many people voted to see this feature included in Kali Linux. Therefore, we included this patch into our cryptsetup package yesterday, making the luksAddNuke options available to all Kali users by default. The patch is non-invasive and will not change anything for anyone that does not want to make use of it. No action is necessary if you currently use LUKS and don’t want to utilize the key nuke feature. The updated cryptsetup package is present in Kali 1.0.6 by default. We’d like to take a moment to thank everyone who participated in the poll for voicing their opinion. This kind of feedback is very useful for us, giving us a better feel for the type of features to add in the future. In an upcoming blog post, we will take the opportunity to better explain this new feature and show you how to test it out. Updated Instructions for Building VMware Tools with Kernel 3.12 VMware Tools always lags behind new kernels, which always causes us headaches and this time is no exception. At the time of this release, VMware Tools does not cleanly compile against kernel 3.12 and requires a set of patches. We have posted these Kali Linux VMware Tools patches on GitHub along with instructions on how to use them. We suspect that these build issues will go away in future releases of VMware Tools. Kali Linux Amazon AMI/Google Compute Build Scripts Now Available Yay! This was on our todo list for quite awhile and we’re happy to bring this feature out at last. A set of scripts that enables you to build your own custom Amazon AMI and Google Compute cloud images. If you intend to use the images for any real work, you should first consult with the terms of service of the cloud provider. Separation of Kali Official Images and Offensive Security Contributed Images Due to the ever growing number of ARM images Offensive Security is contributing as well as the high demand of more flavours of VMware images, we’ve separated the Official Kali images from Offensive Security contributed images. This allows us to generate more VMware image flavours (amd64, i486, i686-pae), as well as increased flexibility in future releases. To find updated VMware and custom ARM images, visit the Offensive Security Custom Image Download Page. Please bear with us as we update images on this server in the next few days. Improving Kali Linux Package Features In the past couple of weeks, jerichodotm has been helping us add watch files to our Kali packages. These watch files allow us to monitor upstream tarball releases for updates in a much more reliable manner. Once this process is complete, we’ll be able to monitor new upstream software updates with much more ease. For example, if you want to check if there’s a new upstream release of nmap, you could do the following: root@kali:~# apt-get install devscripts root@kali:~# apt-get source nmap root@kali:~# cd nmap-6.40/ root@kali:~/nmap-6.40# uscan --no-download --verbose -- Scanning for watchfiles in . -- Found watchfile in ./debian -- In debian/watch, processing watchfile line: http://nmap.org/dist/nmap-((?:\d+\.)+\d+)\.tgz -- Found the following matching hrefs: nmap-5.00.tgz nmap-5.20.tgz nmap-5.21.tgz nmap-5.50.tgz nmap-5.51.1.tgz nmap-5.51.2.tgz nmap-5.51.3.tgz nmap-5.51.4.tgz nmap-5.51.5.tgz nmap-5.51.6.tgz nmap-5.51.tgz nmap-6.00.tgz nmap-6.01.tgz nmap-6.25.tgz nmap-6.40.tgz Newest version on remote site is 6.40, local version is 6.40 => Package is up to date -- Scan finished root@kali:~/nmap-6.40# No Re-Downloading Required Lastly, if you already have a Kali Linux installation up and running, you don’t need to download a new ISO. You can easily upgrade your installation to the latest and greatest Kali Linux has to offer as follows: root@kali:~# apt-get update root@kali:~# apt-get dist-upgrade ….Engage. We’re really happy with this release and are looking forward to completing our next goals with 1.0.7. As usual, you are welcome to visit our Kali Linux forums (which now default to HTTPS), read up on our official documentation, submit bugs and patches, or chat with us in IRC, irc.freenode.net, #kali-linux. Shameless Plug Offensive Security has recently updated its “Penetration Testing With BackTrack” online course to “Penetration Testing with Kali linux“. If you’re looking for official, quality training on Kali Linux, this is a great place to start. We’re biased of course, but many other people seem to think so too!

Want to Spy? Google Play will help you Spyware or legitimate monitoring application? You decide. In this blog we'll discuss a 'legitimate' app that can be purchased in Google Play known as SMS Tracker. Now it's legitimate as it advertises exactly what it does, but based how this same application is packaged and distributed in other markets, it's clear that the vendor is also targeting another, less altruistic audience with this same application. The app also illustrates the powerful access permissions that an application can gain so long as the end user agrees to it, either explictly or otherwise. Details about the application: Name: SMS Tracker. Installs: 10,000-15,000. Description: Gizmoquip SMS Tracker - Track text messages and location data from all of your android phones. As per the description on the application’s Google Play page, the application is able to do the following: SMS Tracking – Intercepts text messages. Read all inbound and outbound text messages. Details include time and date, phone number, contact name and location of the target phone. Complete Text message tracking and logging. MMS tracking - Intercepts MMS multimedia messages. Read and view all inbound and outbound MMS messages. See what photos are sent to and from the target phone. Details include photo, time and date, phone number, contact name and location of the target phone. Browser Tracking – monitors all web browser activity on the target phone. Know which websites were visited, which pages were viewed and when. GPS Tracking – Logs GPS location information wich can later be viewed on a map. Know when and where the phone was located at all times. Breadcrumbs to record location information allowing parents to locate their children at frequent intervals. GPS logging occurs at a user defined rate (default interval is 5 minutes). Remote GPS logging and viewing give you the ability to see the location of your child’s phone, from any web browser. The breadcumb trail offers powerful GPS Tracking. Call Logging – Monitors all inbound, outbound and missed calls. Identifies the phone number, contact name, call duration, and location of the phone for every call. If you want to know where your kids are, just send them a text message. The location of the phone is recorded every time it sends or receives a text message. Tracking of System Events, including Device Powered On/Off, Device Attached / Removed to/from the charger, Apps installed/removed/updated. Silently monitor all inbound and outbound SMS messages. How the app can be used? First you need to download the application and install it on the device on which you want to spy. After installing an application you need to register it. Next, you need to go to Gizmoquip SMS Tracker - Track text messages and location data from all of your android phones., where you will be asked for your login name and password ,which was registered at a time of installing the application. This screenshot shows the dashboard after login. This screenshot shows the page where you can see logging from the device. It covers SMS, device information, call logs, network traffic, location details, etc. Zscaler’s concerns: In any other context, an application with these capabilities would clearly be labelled as spyware. At the vendor's (Gizmoquip.com - Download) they are selling a repackaged version of this app which has the same functionality but does not leave an icon on the device, thus making it more stealthy and harder to detect following installation. This version also does not contain the notification icon or privacy policy screen. Why the transparency? What audience is this version targeting? This same application could also serve generic template for other spyware projects by being wrapped with other code to provide the core functionality needed to create another malicious app. This type of app clearly shows the powerful level of access that can be granted to Android apps, so long as users grant permission. An app can access SMS, call logs, network traffic, hardware details, screen details etc. Always carefully read the permissions requested by an application before installing it on your device. The vendor is promoting this application as a tool for monitoring the mobile activities of your children. However, this same app would be a very effective tool for spying on someone once installed on their phone. You just need to install the app on the device which you want to spy and you are done. All the information about the device and all call and SMS logs can then be remotely monitored. Moreover, all of the user's private data is stored on the vendor's server. What guarantees are in place that the private data will remain private? In the increasingly common enterprise world of “Bring Your Own Device” (BYOD), such applications could be leveraged to expose corporate contact lists, email, browsing information and collect private data from corporate apps in the workplace. Enterprises often block access to 'non-official' app stores to prevent the installation of such apps, but this illustrates that such a restriction is no guaruntee that spyware can't be installed from an official source. Virustotal scan results: The application available from the vendor site (smstracker.com): https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/21aa6c6652287413f07ddfbcadea84441a500ee12816dfe4beed913e4a0fa636/analysis/ The Google Play store’s version: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/a3b40fa9fea9600b55d4d07fd4f0358ee74e6924c342c5857c2a5311f7a11ed3/analysis/ Interestingly, despite virtually the same functionality, far fewer AV vendors flag the Google Play version as malicious. - Viral Sursa: Zscaler Research: Want to Spy?

[h=1]Another X.Org Security Bug Found, Dates Back To 1991[/h] Posted by Michael Larabel in X.Org on 07 January 2014 06:00 PM EST Another X.Org Security Advisory had to be publicly issued today to make known a buffer overflow in an X.Org library that's been present in every X11 release from X11R5 and the code was completed way back in 1991. Back in October there was a X11 security advisory going back to 1993 and today's noted security issue was for code introduced in May of 1991. This security advisory comes just days after the X Server security was called a disaster with what will amount to at least hundreds of open security issues found by a researcher. The security was found via running the cppcheck utility as a static analyzer to look at the code. The issue found is a stack buffer overflow in the passing of BDF font files in libXfont. It's an issue present for more than two decades and was easily spotted with static analysis of the code. When a buffer overflow does happen in libXfont, it's possible that the bug could lead to an unprivileged user acquiring root access to the system. This bug has been found in every X Server release going back to X11R5 and was corrected with the new release of libXfont 1.4.6. More details on this latest security advisory can be found via the xorg-announce list. Sursa: [Phoronix] Another X.Org Security Bug Found, Dates Back To 1991

30c3 - Hacking As Artistic Practice Description: !Mediengruppe Bitnik are contemporary artists. In their talk they will show two examples of their work, illustrating the translation of hacking from the computer field into an artistic practice. Bitnik will show how to hack the opera in ten easy steps and what happens when you send a parcel with a hidden live webcam to Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. Using the strategies of hacking, !Mediengrupppe Bitnik intervenes into settings with the aim of opening them up to re-evaluation and new perspectives. «Opera Calling» was an artistic intervention into the cultural system of the Zurich Opera. From March 9th to May 26th 2007, audio bugs, hidden in the auditorium, transmitted the performances of the Zurich Opera to randomly selected telephone land-lines in the city of Zurich. In proper style of a home-delivery-service, anyone who picked up their telephone, was able to listen to the on-going opera performances for as long as s/he wanted through a live connection with the audio bug signal. The Zurich Opera launched a search for the bugs and in a first reaction threatened to take legal action if the transmissions were not stopped and the bugs not removed. «Delivery for Mr. Assange» is a live mail art piece. In January 2013 !Mediengruppe Bitnik sent Wikileaks-Founder Julian Assange a parcel containing a camera. Julian Assange has been living in the center of a diplomatic crisis at the Ecuadorian embassy in London since June 2012. Through a hole in the parcel, the camera documented and live-tweeted its journey through the postal system, letting anyone online follow the parcel's status in real-time. !Mediengruppe Bitnik regard this work as a SYSTEM_TEST. Would the parcel reach its intended destination? Or would it be removed from the postal system?

Stiu, dar e ceva ce trebuie vazut.

Pacat ca lumea prefera un serial/porn/film de cacat in loc sa vada asa ceva.
