*** Cyber-securitys dirty little secret: Its not as bad as you think *** --------------------------------------------- And as for botnets - on their way out A new research report from the Global Commission on Internet Governance has reached a surprising conclusion: cyberspace is actually getting safer. --------------------------------------------- http://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.co.uk/2015/07/18/cybersecurit...
*** Its the Data, Stupid! *** --------------------------------------------- At least with MySQL, PostgreSQL and much of the relational database software the defaults are fairly secure: listen on the local interface only and provide some form of authorization by default. This isnt the case with some of the newer NoSQL products that started entering mainstream fairly recently. For the purpose of this article I will talk about one of the more popular NoSQL products called MongoDB, though much of what is being said also applies to other software (Im looking at you Redis). --------------------------------------------- https://blog.shodan.io/its-the-data-stupid/
*** RedStar OS Watermarking *** --------------------------------------------- During the last few months information about one of North Koreas operating systems was leaked.

We thought we would take a short look at the OS. This blog post contains some of the results. --------------------------------------------- http://www.insinuator.net/2015/07/redstar-os-watermarking/
*** Autoruns and VirusTotal, (Fri, Jul 17th) *** --------------------------------------------- Continuing my diary entries on Sysinternals tools with VirusTotal support, I'm taking a look at autoruns.

This gives you an overview of all programs that start automatically on the scanned Windows machine. --------------------------------------------- https://isc.sans.edu/diary.html?storyid=19933

*** Disabled Adobe Flash browser plugin? This might not be enough *** --------------------------------------------- I went to the Adobes Flash test page and opened it in IE (top left). As expected, the plugin couldnt run because (see the Manage Add-ons window in the bottom-left corner) it has been disabled. And yet when I opened the same test URL in HH - Flash was right there. And this is a problem. Yes, by disabling Flash in the main browsers we have significantly reduced the risk but we have not eliminated it. --------------------------------------------- http://blog.kulshitsky.com/2015/07/disabled-adobe-flash-browser-plugin.html
