*** CSAM Month of False Positives: Ghosts in the Pentest Report, (Tue, Oct 21st) ***

As part of most vulnerability assessments and penetration tests against a website, we almost always run some kind of scanner. Burp (commercial) and ZAP (free from OWASP) are two commonly used scanners. Once youve done a few website assessments, you start to get a feel for what pages and fields are likely candidates for exploit. But especially if its a vulnerability assessment, where youre trying to cover as many issues as possible (and exploits might even be out of scope), its always a safe bet

*** Logging SSL, (Thu, Oct 16th) ***
---------------------------------------------
With POODLE behind us, it is time to get ready for the next SSL firedrill. One of the questions that keeps coming up is which ciphers and SSL/TLS versions are actually in use. If you decide to turn off SSLv3 or not depends a lot on who needs it, and it is an important answer to have ready should tomorrow some other cipher turn out to be too weak. But keep in mind that it is not just numbers that matter. You also need to figure out who the outliers are and how important (or dangerous?) they are.

OpenSSH lets you grant SFTP access to users without allowing full command execution using "ForceCommand internal-sftp". However, if you misconfigure the server and dont use ChrootDirectory, the user will be able to access all parts of the filesystem that he has access to - including procfs. On modern Linux kernels (>=2.6.39, I think), /proc/self/maps reveals the memory layout and /proc/self/mem lets you write to arbitrary memory positions. Combine those and you get easy RCE.

*** Threat Spotlight: 'Kyle and Stan' Malvertising Network Threatens Windows and Mac Users With Mutating Malware ***
---------------------------------------------
Once the victim gets redirected to the final URL, the website automatically starts the download of a unique piece of malware for every user. The file is a bundle of legitimate software, like a media-player, and compiles malware and a unique-to-every-user configuration into the downloaded file. The attackers are purely relying on social engineering techniques, in order to get the user to install the software package. No drive-by exploits are being used thus far.

Rogue antivirus software has been a part of the malware ecosystem for many years now - Win32/SpySheriff and Win32/FakeRean date all the way back to 2007. These rogues, and the many that have followed them throughout the years, generally mislead and scare users into paying a fee for "cleaning" false detections that the software claims to have found on the machine. They often use dozens ..
