By the beginning of October 2015, malspam pushing Dridex came back [3], and its continued since then. However, organizations still discussed the Dridex takedown, even after Dridex came back. The most recent wave of reporting... --------------------------------------------- https://isc.sans.edu/diary.html?storyid=20295&rss

*** Intel x86 considered harmful (new paper) *** --------------------------------------------- Oct 27, 2015 - Joanna Rutkowska | Back in summer I have read a new book published by one of the core Intel architects about the Management Engine (ME). I didnt quite like what I read there. In fact I even found this a bit depressing, even though Intel ME wasnt particular news to me as we, at the ITL, have already studied this topic quite in-depth, so to say, back in 2008... But, as you can see in the linked article, I believed we could use VT-d to protect the host OS from the potentially... --------------------------------------------- http://blog.invisiblethings.org/2015/10/27/x86_harmful.html

Im honest: Im lazzy to write reports (like many of us, no?).During a pentest, it is mandatory to keep evidences of all your findings. No only the tools you used and how you used them but as much details as possible (screenshots, logs, videos, papers,etc). Every day, we had a quick debriefing meeting with the customer to make the point about the new findings. The first feedback was often a Yes, but...: Me: We were --------------------------------------------- https://isc.sans.edu/diary.html?storyid=20303&rss
