A small fraction of those typosquatted domains -- such as gooogle.com for google.com -- were registered by the legitimate website in a bid to foil typosquatters.

Alejandro Hdez (@nitr0usmx) recently tweeted about a trivial buffer overflow in ntpdc, a deprecated NTP query tool still available and packaged with any NTP install.

Which you should be, because the binary installers (for Windows and Linux) have all the dependencies baked in and you don't have to monkey around with much to get going. The two major features with this release center around reorganizing the bruteforce workflow to make things more sensible and usable for larger-scale password audits, and much better visualization on figuring out where the weak link is/was in the organization under test when stolen credentials were used to extend control.

*** Exploit Kit Evolution During 2014 - Nuclear Pack, (Thu, Dec 18th) ***
---------------------------------------------
This is a guest diary submitted by Brad Duncan. Nuclear exploit kit (also known as Nuclear Pack) has been around for years. Version 2.0 of Nuclear Pack was reported in 2012 [1] [2]. Blogs like malware.dontneedcoffee.com have mentioned version 3.0 of Nuclear Pack in posts during 2013 [3] [4]. This month, Nuclear Pack changed its traffic patterns. The changes are significant enough that I wonder if Nuclear Pack is at version 4. Or is this merely an evolution of version 3, as weve seen throughout

Ultimately, this has been a very successful year for us, with millions of assessments carried out.

In this paper, we discuss an attacker model that accounts for the hijacking of network ownership information stored in Regional Internet Registry (RIR) databases. We show that such threats emerge from abandoned Internet resources (e.g., IP address blocks, AS numbers). When DNS names expire, attackers gain the opportunity to take resource ownership by re-registering domain names that are referenced by corresponding RIR database objects.

*** Is POODLE Back for Another Byte? ***
---------------------------------------------
[...] The problem is a number of other TLS implementations are optimized for performance by verifying only that the first byte of padding matches the number of padding bytes. Such implementations would accept any value for the second and subsequent padding bytes. What's worse is that the adversary doesn't need to artificially downgrade the connection to SSLv3 to exploit this issue, so the barriers to execution are lower.
