When automation does not help, (Thu, Apr 23rd)
In a lot of web application penetration tests that Ive done in last couple of years I noticed that the amount of technical vulnerabilities (i.e. XSS or SQL injection) is slowly declining.Of course, this depends on developers awareness but also on frameworks that are used for development of such applications. One of the best (or worst, depending on the point of view) is definitely .NET (yeah, I know, it feels weird to say that Microsoft is best in something security related). With .NET...

The Rise of Counterintelligence in Malware Investigations
The key to operationalizing cybersecurity threat intelligence rests in the critical thinking that establishes that a given indicator is, in fact, malicious. There has been a great deal of talk about the emerging field of cybersecurity threat intelligence in recent years. CTI is the application of intelligence tactics to gain insights on adversarial actors and their tools, techniques, and procedures. However, one aspect that's not frequently discussed is the use of counterintelligence...

Objectifying Cyber Intel Indicators
I've had the fortune of visiting a good number of SOCs (including building some) and meeting with a number of leaders in the SOC/IR space over the years- and the better teams will tell you that you simply cannot look at every single alert that fires. Expanding upon this even more, in regards to an Intel-driven IR program, this means that you cannot simply dump all indicators into production; I've seen this fail for both immature programs (overwhelmed with alerts) as well as mature...

Dyreza's anticrypt
In the previous post, we have described how to set up a loft to monitor Dyreza with the help of virtual machines configured with breakpoints at addresses where communications appear in clear text. Configuration file updates can thus be obtained in real-time easily. Another way to monitor this kind of malware using a decentralised architecture is to implement parts of the malicious binary in a thin client, which requires to fully understand its decryption routine details.

Antiviren-Software und Apples Schutzmechanismen für Mac OS X nutzlos
Einem Sicherheitsforscher zufolge sei es trivial, einen Mac nachhaltig mit Malware zu verseuchen. Weder würde gängige Antivirensoftware helfen, noch Apples eigene Mechanismen wie XProtect oder das Signieren von Apps.

HTML5 Security: Local Storage
In a previous article of mine, I discussed Cross Domain Messaging in HTML5. This article walks you through another feature, called local storage, and its security. Local Storage Local storage is one of the new features added in HTML5. It was first introduced in Mozilla 1.5 and eventually embraced by the HTML5 specification. We can...

Yubikey NEO (JavaCard OpenPGP) private key operations can be accessed without PIN
The source code contains a logical flaw related to user PIN (aka PW1) verification that allows an attacker with local host privileges and/or physical proximity (NFC) to perform security operations without knowledge of the user's PIN code.
