*** Linux 3.7 Kernel To Support Multiple ARM Platforms ***
---------------------------------------------
hypnosec writes with news that the Linux 3.7 kernel will support multiple ARM-based System on Chip platforms (Git commit page), writing "Up until now there has been a separate Linux kernel build for each of the ARM platforms or SoCs, which is one of the several problems when it comes to ARM based Linux. The merging of ARM multi-platform support into Linux 3.7 will put an end to this problem, enabling the new kernel to not only target multiple platforms but also be more in line with its x86

*** Botnet Spotted Silently Scanning IPv4 Address Space For Vulnerable VoIP ***
---------------------------------------------
"A large peer-to-peer botnet known for its resilience was spotted sniffing out potential victim voice-over-IP (VoIP) servers using an advanced stealth technique of camouflaging its efforts to recruit new bots. The Sality botnet, which was first discovered in 2003 and has been estimated to have hundreds of thousands or more infected machines in its zombie army, scanned IPv4 addresses in February 2011 via a covert scanning method that flew under the radar, according to new research from the

*** lost+found: Vom Versuch eine Ente wieder einzufangen ***
---------------------------------------------
Das Magazin hakin9 ist einem Troll-Versuch aufgesessen und hat einen peinlichen Nonsens-Artikel veröffentlicht: Nmap: The Internet Considered Harmful - DARPA Inference Cheking Kludge Scanning (man beachte die Abkürzung DICKS). Angesichts prominenter Autoren, deren Namen sich wie ein Who-is-Who der Security-Szene lesen, fiel offensichtlich niemandem mehr auf, dass Sätze wie "NMAP requires root access in order to allow B-trees" absolut keinen Sinn ergeben.

*** "Universal Man in the Browser": Datenklau in Echtzeit ***
---------------------------------------------
Die amerikanische Sicherheitsfirma Trusteer hat eine neue Form der "Man in the Browser"-Attacke (MitB) ausgemacht, die niederschwelliger und effizienter als bereits bekannte MitB sein soll. Das Besondere an dem Spionageprogramm ist die eingebaute Logik, die es erlaubt, die gestohlenen Daten in Echtzeit auszuwerten und möglichst schnell einem Weiterverkauf zugänglich zu machen. Trusteer nennt diese neue Form 'Universal Man in the Browser' (uMitB).
