SOPA and PIPA -- What`s in it for you
Posted by cdupuis on Thursday, 19 January 2012 @ 13:23:08 EST (794 reads)
Topic In the News

As seen on one of my hosting company mailing list:

Greetings Site5 Customers!

The U.S. Congress is currently considering two bills -- one in the House of Representatives called SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and another in the Senate called PIPA (Protect IP Act). These bills both attempt to use similar methods to further criminalize and police intellectual property infringement. Although protecting intellectual property is important, these bills would use heavy-handed tactics that would censor and splinter the Internet.

SOPA and PIPA would grant the U.S. government the ability to block almost any website on the Internet if the site is perceived to be an "infringing site." Search engines would be required to remove the site from their search listings, payment processors and advertisement networks would be forbidden from doing business with the site, and ISPs could be forced to block access to the site for Americans. The bill provides little detail about what would constitute an infringing site, which makes the potential for abuse far greater. We have already seen how these kind of systems can be abused. In 2010, ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) mistakenly seized a domain name belonging to a music blog and labeled it as a "rogue site" — the domain name was not returned until a year later (source: http://nyti.ms/uF73mZ). If you would like to see a video explanation of how the bill works and its dangers, please go here: http://vimeo.com/31100268

Site5 has publicly declared our opposition to both bills, and we encourage you to do the same. Contact your representatives in Congress to let your opposition to these bills be known! To locate the contact information for your representatives, visit one of the following websites:

http://www.contactingthecongress.org
http://www.grassroutes.us/sopa

If you're located outside the United States, you can let your voice be heard as well by sending your thoughts via this website:

http://americancensorship.org

Another way to get involved in the fight against SOPA and PIPA is to join in on the blackouts. Many well-known websites such as Wikipedia, Google, and Reddit are demonstrating their opposition, and you can too. Site5 has sponsored a WordPress plugin for participating in blackouts, and it features an easy setup and configuration options within the WordPress admin area:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sopa-blackout-plugin/

We feel very strongly that the future of the Internet is at stake, and we urge everyone to get involved!

Thanks,

The Site5 Management Team

Hackers are worried the Sony compromize will lower the Value of stolen cards
Posted by cdupuis on Wednesday, 04 May 2011 @ 09:20:04 EDT (2667 reads)
Topic In the News

I was reading my morning email and I taught this one is hilarious.  I am sure you will feel just as bad as I do for them.   If they could fall to a cent maybe crime would slow down at that point:

Hackers who claim they are responsible for the Sony breach wrote on underground forums last week that they had access to over 2.2 million credit cards. If these millions of new stolen cards were sold online, the price could fall to well below the standard rate to as low as $1 or $2 each.

HERE IS THE ARTICLE:

May 3, 2011, 3:30 pm

How Credit Card Data Is Stolen and Sold By NICK BILTON

Bobby Yip/Reuters Stolen credit card numbers can sell for up to $10 each in online underground markets.

Last week, after the Sony PlayStation Network was attacked by a group of unknown hackers, Sony’s 77 million customers, along with security specialists and government officials, were surprised by the amount of information that might have been stolen from the company.

But there was another group that worried about the attack: other hackers who steal credit card numbers and personal identity online and then sell and trade this information in underground markets.

“We’re keeping a close eye on the Sony story as it would drastically affect the resale of other cards,” explained an experienced hacker based in Europe who declined to share his name due to the nature of his work.

Kevin Stevens, senior threat researcher at the computer security firm Trend Micro, explained in an interview last week that there was a lot of discussion taking place in hacker forums about the Sony data breach. Several credit card dealers are worried that the distribution of millions of credit cards would flood the market and lower prices, he said.

According to a number of security researchers, the sale of stolen information and credit cards often takes place completely underground in secret credit forums, where hackers exchange or sell data. These forums are closed to the public, and people who join the groups are vetted by forum administrators to ensure they are not from law enforcement.

Posts on the forums usually list the type of information for sale, including names and addresses associated with the cards, and a price that can be negotiated. Once someone agrees to buy the information, the transaction takes place out of the forum in a secret chat room, usually using a private and secure I.C.Q. room.

Mr. Stevens said stolen credit cards usually sold for about $5 to $10 online, yet the prices vary based on the amount of information supplied with the card data and the account limit.

Hackers who claim they are responsible for the Sony breach wrote on underground forums last week that they had access to over 2.2 million credit cards. If these millions of new stolen cards were sold online, the price could fall to well below the standard rate to as low as $1 or $2 each.

To make matters worse, Sony said Monday that another server had been affected by the breach last week and as many as 12,700 credit and debit cards could have been stolen during the attack.

Mathew Solnik, a security consultant with iSEC Partners, said he doesn’t see any signs of a slowdown with the sale of credit card data or personal information online. “As more companies keep databases of people’s personal data, including credit cards, there is more incentive for hackers to gain access to their servers and make a lot of money reselling this sensitive information.”

So what can be done to stop the resale of personal information?

Kevin Mahaffey, the chief technology officer at Lookout Mobile Security, said companies needed to stop collecting so much personal information. “Data has a new lever of value in society,” he said in an interview. “We now have robust economies that have grown around personal information and credit cards.”

“One of the best things companies can do is not collect the data in the first place,” explained Mr. Mahaffey. “Some companies now consider this type of data nuclear waste; you don’t want to store if you don’t have to.”

ArpON 2.2 released

05/01/2011: ArpON 2.2 released!
.: What is ArpON? :.


ArpON (ARP handler inspection) is a portable handler daemon that make ARP secure in order to avoid the Man In The Middle (MITM) through ARP Spoofing/Poisoning attacks. It detects and blocks also derived attacks by it for more complex attacks, as: DHCP Spoofing, DNS Spoofing, WEB Spoofing, Session Hijacking and SSL/TLS Hijacking & co attacks.

This is possible using three kinds of anti ARP Poisoning tecniques: the first is based on SARPI or "Static ARP Inspection" in statically configured networks without DHCP; the second on DARPI or "Dynamic ARP Inspection" in dinamically configured networks having DHCP; the third on HARPI or "Hybrid ARP Inspection" in "hybrid" networks, that is in statically and dynamically (DHCP) configured networks together.

SARPI, DARPI and HARPI protects both unidirectional, bidirectional and distributed attacks: into "Unidirectional protection" is required that ArpON is installed and running on one node of the connection attacked; into "Bidirectional protection" is required that ArpON is installed and running on two nodes of the connection attacked; into "Distributed protection" is required that ArpON is installed and running on all nodes of the connections attacked. All other nodes whitout ArpON will not be protected from attack.

ArpON is therefore a host-based solution that doesn't modify ARP's standard base protocol, but rather sets precise policies by using SARPI for static networks, DARPI for dynamic networks and HARPI for hybrid networks thus making today's standardized protocol working and secure from any foreign intrusion.

.: Features :.


- It detects and blocks Man In The Middle through ARP Spoofing/Poisoning attacks in statically, dinamically (DHCP), hybrid configured networks
- It detects and blocks derived attacks: DHCP Spoofing, DNS Spoofing WEB Spoofing, Session Hijacking, SSL/TLS Hijacking & co
- It detects and blocks unidirectional, bidirectional and distributed attacks
- Doesn't affect the communication efficiency of ARP protocol
- Doesn't affect the race response time from attacks
- Multithreading on all OS supported
- It manages the network interface into unplug, boot, hibernation and suspension OS features
- It works in userspace for OS portability reasons
- Easily configurable via command line switches, provided that you have root permissions
- Tested against Ettercap, Cain & Abel, dsniff and other tools

Announcing cross_fuzz, a potential 0-day in circulation, and more
Posted by cdupuis on Monday, 03 January 2011 @ 15:26:42 EST (2980 reads)
Topic In the News

As seen on the Full Disclosure and Bugrack mailing list:

== SUMMARY ==

I am happy to announce the availability of cross_fuzz - an amazingly effective but notoriously annoying cross-document DOM binding fuzzer that helped identify about one hundred bugs in all browsers on the market - many
of said bugs exploitable - and is still finding more.

The fuzzer owes some of its efficiency to dynamically generating extremely long-winding sequences of DOM operations across multiple documents, inspecting returned objects, recursing into them, and creating circular node references that stress-test garbage collection algorithms. More info about  the exact algorithm used is given here:

http://lcamtuf.blogspot.com/2011/01/announcing-crossfuzz-potential-0-day-in.html

The design of the fuzzer makes it unexpectedly difficult to get clean, deterministic repros; to that effect, in the current versions of all the affected browsers, we are still seeing a collection of elusive problems when running the tool - and some not-so-elusive ones. I believe that at this point, a broader community involvement may be instrumental to tracking down and resolving these bugs.

***
I also believe that at least one of the vulnerabilities discovered by cross_fuzz may be known to third parties - which makes getting this tool out a priority.
***

== VENDOR RESPONSE / STATUS ==


* Internet Explorer: MSRC notified in July 2010. Fuzzer observed to trigger  several exploitable crashes - e.g.:

 http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/cross_fuzz/msie_crash.txt

 ...ad well as some security-relevant GDI corruption issues.

 ***
Reproducible, exploitable faults still present in current versions of  the browser. I have reasons to believe that one of these vulnerabilities  is known to third parties: http://goo.gl/7tcWh
***

 Comment: Vendor has acknowledged receiving the report in July (case  10205jr), but has not contacted me again until my final ping in December.   Following that contact attempt, they were able to quickly reproduce  multiple exploitable crashes, and asked for the release of this tool to be  postponed indefinitely. Since they have not provided an explanation as  to why these issues could not be investigated earlier, I refused; more info here:

 http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/cross_fuzz/fuzzer_timeline.txt

* All WebKit browsers: WebKit project notified in July 2010. About two dozen  crashes identified and addressed in bug 42959 and related efforts by  several volunteers. Relevant patches generally released with attribution  in security bulletins. Some extremely hard-to-debug memory corruption  problems still occurring on trunk.

* Firefox: Mozilla notified in July 2010. Around 10 crashes addressed in bug  581539, with attribution in security bulletins where appropriate. Fuzzing  approach subsequently rolled into Jesse Ruderman's fuzzing infrastructure  under bug 594645 in September; from that point on, about fifty additional  bugs identified (generally with no specific attribution at patch time).   Several tricky crashes still occurring on trunk.

Note: Flash-related (npswf32.dll) bad read/write offset crashes are also  common if the plugin is installed.

* Opera: vendor notified in July 2010. Update provided in December stated  that Opera 11 fixes all the frequent crashes, and that a proper security  advisory will be released at a later date. Release notes state: "Fixed a  high severity issue; details will be disclosed at a later date". Several  hard-to-debug crashes reportedly still waiting to be resolved.

 Note that with Opera, the fuzzer needs to be restarted frequently due to OOM conditions.

== DEMO / DOWNLOAD URL ==

Please see: http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/cross_fuzz/

== MISC NOTES ==

Cross_fuzz can be easily extended to fuzz any DOM-enabled documents or browser plugins simply by providing new target documents. This may be an interesting area for future research.

I believe that releasing the tool at this point is considerably more prudent than the approach taken with ref_fuzz in 2008-2010:

Any amount you donate can help us to provide better content and also to hire resource that can do some developement for us. Although we do try to do as much as we can ourselves, there are cases where special skill might be required such as PHP development for example.  In the past year we have spent over $4500 USD to add new features to the quiz engine.   Our monthly hosting cost now exceed $400 USD.   We do have to pay people to maintain the site as I can no longer do it alone.  As you can see a FREE website is NOT free for us to maintain.

Today the CCCure Family of Portals reaches more than 100,000 members, it has provided millions of downloads to it's visitors, it has one of the best quiz engine on the net, it has close to half a terabyte of traffic per month, it is used by dozens of training company and universities in multiple countries. We are extremely proud of our achievement and would definitively like to continue providing such a FREE service to the community in the years to come.

This is why we must call for help. We kindly ask you to consider donating to the web site. We also strongly encourage you to get your company, organization, or department to make a donation as well. They are the first who benefit when you better your skills and knowledge, not to mention that they do save significant money by having free resources that you can use instead of them having to pay for such resources.

Thanks in advance
