  1. There is an adware called Privdog that gets shipped with software from Comodo. It totally breaks HTTPS security. In case you haven't heard it the past days an Adware called Superfish made headlines. It was preinstalled on Lenovo laptops and it is bad: It totally breaks the security of HTTPS connections. The story became bigger when it became clear that a lot of other software packages were using the same technology Komodia with the same security risk. What Superfish and other tools do is that it intercepts encrypted HTTPS traffic to insert Advertising on webpages. It does so by breaking the HTTPS encryption with a Man-in-the-Middle-attack, which is possible because it installs its own certificate into the operating system. A number of people gathered in a chatroom and we noted a thread on Hacker News where someone asked whether a tool called PrivDog is like Superfish. PrivDog's functionality is to replace advertising in web pages with it's own advertising "from trusted sources". That by itself already sounds weird even without any security issues. A quick analysis shows that it doesn't have the same flaw as Superfish, but it has another one which arguably is even bigger. While Superfish used the same certificate and key on all hosts PrivDog recreates a key/cert on every installation. However here comes the big flaw: PrivDog will intercept every certificate and replace it with one signed by its root key. And that means also certificates that weren't valid in the first place. It will turn your Browser into one that just accepts every HTTPS certificate out there, whether it's been signed by a certificate authority or not. We're still trying to figure out the details, but it looks pretty bad. (with some trickery you can do something similar on Superfish/Komodia, too) There are some things that are completely weird. When one surfs to a webpage that has a self-signed certificate (really self-signed, not signed by an unknown CA) it adds another self-signed cert with 512 bit RSA into the root certificate store of Windows. All other certs get replaced by 1024 bit RSA certs signed by a locally created PrivDog CA. PrivDog is shipped with products produced by Comodo, for example with the Comodo Dragon browser. This makes this case especially interesting because Comodo itself is a certificate authority. It should be their job to protect HTTPS, not break it (they had issues before). As ACLU technologist Christopher Soghoian points out on Twitter the founder of PrivDog is the CEO of Comodo. (See this blog post.)
