*** GnuPG (GPG) 2.1.9 release announced, (Sun, Oct 11th) *** --------------------------------------------- The GnuPG group has announced the release of GPG version 2.1.9, which addresses a number of technical issues within the components of the code. The update of any encryption component should be carefully planned, as the impact is often not fully understood until some data cannot be accessed because of encryption issues. If you are running a version of GPG older than version 2.1, i strongly recommend taking a look at the changes... --------------------------------------------- https://isc.sans.edu/diary.html?storyid=20235&rss
*** Cloud DDoS Mitigation Services Can Be Easily Bypassed *** --------------------------------------------- An anonymous reader writes: A recent research paper shows that most Cloud-Based Security Providers are ineffective in protecting websites from DDoS attacks, mainly because they cannot entirely hide the origin websites IP address from attackers. As five security researchers from Belgium and the U.S. are claiming, there are eight methods through which these mitigation services can be bypassed. The techniques of obtaining a websites origin IP address rely on hackers searching through historical... --------------------------------------------- http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/kzYQm-Sz02k/cloud-ddos-mitig...

*** A Study in Bots: DiamondFox *** --------------------------------------------- DiamondFox is a multipurpose botnet with capabilities ranging from credential stealing to theft of credit card information from point of sale systems. This capable malware is being distributed in a number of hacker forums, allowing it to be operated by attackers with extremely limited capabilities to operate it. Fortunately for malware researchers, DiamondFox fails to protect itself in various ways. --------------------------------------------- http://blog.cylance.com/a-study-in-bots-diamondfox
*** TLS Fingerprinting (Smarter Defending & Stealthier Attacking) *** --------------------------------------------- Previously, I have been able to demonstrate that certain clients could be differentiated from other network traffic. Specifically, that meant discriminating SuperFish, PrivDog, and GeniusBox from mainstream browsers when making HTTPS connections, and generating IDS signatures based on these findings to assist network administrators in being able to identify problematic hosts without requiring access to either endpoint. I have now expanded this technique to improve the accuracy of the... --------------------------------------------- https://blog.squarelemon.com/tls-fingerprinting/
*** Kaspersky Internet Security: Network Attack Blocker Design Flaw *** --------------------------------------------- A component of Kaspersky Internet Security that's enabled by default is called the "Network Attack Blocker", described as "protects the computer against dangerous network activity". I examined the implementation, and determined that it's actually a simple stateless packet filter with a pattern-matching signature system. It has no concept of flow reassembly or protocol decoding, which require stateful packet inspection. When the software detects an attack, it adds... --------------------------------------------- https://code.google.com/p/google-security-research/issues/detail?id=564
