Building a Linux Incident Response / Forensic Disk

Posted: March 10th, 2010, 1:28am CET

There are many Linux distributions readily available. This however should not stop you creating your own version of a UNIX forensic tools disc. Whether you are on Solaris, HP-UX or any other variety of UNIX it is simple to create a forensic tools CD that can go between systems. The added benefit of this method is that the tools do not need to be left on the production server. This in itself could be a security risk and the ability to unmount the CD and take it with you increases security. The ability to create a customized CD for your individual system means that the analyst can have their tools available for any UNIX system that they need to work with. It may also be possible to create a universal forensic CD. Using statically linked binaries, a single DVD or CD could be created with separate directories for every UNIX variety in use in the organization that you are working on. For instance, the same CD could contain a directory called â/Solarisâ which would act as the base directory for all Solaris tools. Similarly, base directories for Linux (/Linux), HP-UX (/HPUX10, /HPUX9) and any other variety of UNIX in use in your organization could be included on the same distribution allowing you to take one disk with you but leaving you ready at all times.
UK still lousy on electronic nosiness

Posted: March 10th, 2010, 1:27am CET

A new report highlights a depressingly consistent drift towards ever greater control of the population using new technologies. There are few surprises in the 2010 report, entitled The Electronic Police State, issued yesterday. It shows Russia and the United States within a couple of points of each other when it comes to electronic policing and surveillance, North Korea just overtaking China to gain top prize, and the United Kingdom leading the rest of the West â after the US. The report's authors at CryptoHippie do, of course, have a product to shift. It is a US-based company providing what it describes as "superior privacy enhancing technologies". However, it has also been putting a regular toe in the water to test the degree of electronic surveillance going on worldwide, and while it may not be the most unbiased of observers, it is at least producing a consistent data stream that allows the rest of us to debate the issues and monitor trends.
Five Best VPN Tools

Posted: March 10th, 2010, 1:27am CET

VPN software brings the security of a private network to an insecure network, and allows you to access private local networks from anywhere. As we've explained in the past, you can do things between computers on your local network you can't from out on the internet: like listen to a shared iTunes library or access files in shared folders. Virtual private network applications give you access to your computer from anywhere on the internet as if you were home on your local network. Earlier this week we asked you to share your favorite software for establishing and maintaining virtual private networks. We rounded up the votes, and now we're back with the five most popular VPN applications. If you're new to the idea of virtual private networks, you can read up on the technical nitty-gritty at the Wikipedia entry for VPNs. Note: This Hive Five contains both VPN server applications (the apps that create virtual private networks on your local network so it's accessible from the outside world) and VPN client applications (the apps that connect to virtual private networks from the outside world). In many instances companies produce VPN servers, VPN clients, VPN servers with accompanying clients, or VPN clients that are designed to work with a variety of servers.
Researchers dissect ZeuS botnet blueprint

Posted: March 10th, 2010, 1:26am CET

A little knowledge and a few thousand dollars is all it takes to build a fully functional botnet, according to security experts. Cisco researchers Patrick Peterson and Henry Stern told delegates at the 2010 RSA conference in San Francisco that a botnet running the infamous ZeuS malware could be built for US$2,500 ($2,753.50). ZeuS is primarily a data-gathering and botnet control tool, but has become particularly loathed in the security community because it directly injects content into pages and intercepts credentials before they are sent to legitimate sites. Making matters worse, the monetary and technical thresholds for running Zeus are particularly low. Peterson and Stern said that a current version of Zeus can be had for roughly US$700, while older versions can be obtained for free.
Feds Move to Break Voting-Machine Monopoly

Posted: March 10th, 2010, 1:25am CET

Citing anti-competitive concerns, the Justice Department sued Election Systems & Software in order to force the company to divest itself of the voting machine assets it obtained from Premier Election Solutions last year. The departmentâs antitrust division, along with nine state attorneys general, filed the civil antitrust lawsuit (.pdf) in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., charging that the acquisition threatened competition. The department proposed a settlement that, if accepted, would dissolve the merger and force ES&S to sell its Premier business to a buyer approved by the Justice Department.
1024-bit RSA encryption cracked by carefully starving CPU of electricity

Posted: March 10th, 2010, 1:24am CET

Since 1977, RSA public-key encryption has protected privacy and verified authenticity when using computers, gadgets and web browsers around the globe, with only the most brutish of brute force efforts (and 1,500 years of processing time) felling its 768-bit variety earlier this year. Now, three eggheads (or Wolverines, as it were) at the University of Michigan claim they can break it simply by tweaking a device's power supply. By fluctuating the voltage to the CPU such that it generated a single hardware error per clock cycle, they found that they could cause the server to flip single bits of the private key at a time, allowing them to slowly piece together the password. With a small cluster of 81 Pentium 4 chips and 104 hours of processing time, they were able to successfully hack 1024-bit encryption in OpenSSL on a SPARC-based system, without damaging the computer, leaving a single trace or ending human life as we know it. That's why they're presenting a paper at the Design, Automation and Test conference this week in Europe, and that's why -- until RSA hopefully fixes the flaw -- you should keep a close eye on your server room's power supply.
Limewire taps AVG for virus free torrents

Posted: March 10th, 2010, 1:24am CET

POPULAR P2P FILE SHARING SERVICE Limeware has enlisted the help of anti-virus outfit AVG to offer its Pro users with free file scanning. If the likes of the MPAA and the RIAA are to be believed, the only people who use Bittorrent sites are so called 'pirates' scouring the underbelly of cyberspace trying to get hold of the latest movies and music for free, robbing poor defenceless artists of their livelihoods in the process. With this in mind you might think that these downloaders deserve any form of malware their PCs get infected with in their pursuit of ill-gotten gains, but Limeware appears to disagree and has licensed the AVG Anti-Virus SDK engine and integrated the anti-virus and anti-spyware protection into LimeWire Pro.
Physicists Find Way to See Through Paint, Paper, and Other Opaque Materials

Posted: March 10th, 2010, 1:23am CET

Materials such as paper, paint, and biological tissue are opaque because the light that passes through them is scattered in complicated and seemingly random ways. A new experiment conducted by researchers at the City of Paris Industrial Physics and Chemistry Higher Educational Institution (ESPCI) has shown that it's possible to focus light through opaque materials and detect objects hidden behind them, provided you know enough about the material. The experiment is reported in the current issue of Physical Review Letters, and is the subject of Viewpoint in APS Physics by Elbert van Putten and Allard Mosk of the University of Twente. In order to demonstrate their approach to characterize opaque substances, the researchers first passed light through a layer of zinc oxide, which is a common component of white paints. By studying the way the light beam changed as it encountered the material, they were able to produce a numerical model called a transmission matrix, which included over 65,000 numbers describing the way that the zinc oxide layer affected light.
The Basics of SAN Security

Posted: March 10th, 2010, 1:20am CET

Itâs important to protect your organization from malicious threat and from preventing hackers access to sensitive data. You also want to ensure that your organization is compliant with security regulations. When implementing infrastructure projects itâs necessary to ensure that all of the components of the implementation are secure. Storage Area Network, or SAN, is one of these components. In laymenâs terms, a SAN is a network that enables storage devices to communicate with other storage devices and computer systems. A SAN uses a high performance network, like fibre channel or Ethernet to communicate, and it typically connects disks and tape drives, RAID subsystems, robotic libraries, and file servers. As SAN technology becomes more popular, organizations are continuing to evolve their technologies and reap the benefits that SAN has to offer. We all know that computers are attached to some type of storage, but the benefit of a SAN is that it enables Universal Storage Connectivity; the ability to connect many computers to a lot of storage devices allowing computers to negotiate device ownership and share data.
Army plans enterprise email system

Posted: March 10th, 2010, 1:19am CET

The Army is planning to cut its $400 million-a-year email bill by consolidating its email systems and outsourcing the operation. In a draft solicitation request, the Army said it plans to build the entire system on Microsoft Exchange 2010. Lt. Gen Jeffery Sorenson, the Army's chief information officer who is spearheading the effort, said he'd like to see the entire Defense Department use the system. It's a massive undertaking for the Army which supports 950,000 accounts. When a soldier moves from one location to another, he or she currently has to get a new email address, and the old one has to be deleted. And these multiple accounts open many doors for cyber hackers. Warren Suss, president of Suss Consulting, a federal information technology consulting firm, estimates the Army could cut its $400 million operating bill in half with this new plan.
Microsoft skips patch for PowerPoint add-on

Posted: March 10th, 2010, 1:19am CET

Microsoft fixed eight flaws in Windows and Office today, but passed on patching one Windows component because it cannot be automatically updated. The eight bugs patched today were far from the near-record 26 that Microsoft fixed last month when it delivered 13 security updates. Both of today's bulletins were ranked "important," the second-highest rating in Microsoft's four-step severity scoring system, even though the company acknowledged that the eight vulnerabilities could be used to completely compromise a Windows PC. Although security experts recommended that users deploy the Office fix first, several argued today that the Windows update was more interesting because Microsoft declined to patch one of the two pieces of involved software.
Symantec Offers New Approach to Mobile Security

Posted: March 10th, 2010, 1:18am CET

Symantec showed off a new approach to mobile security here at company headquarters during a media event this week. Symantec Mobile Reputation Security (SMRS) is a prototype for what the company calls a next-generation solution to mobile security developed by its research labs. John Kelly, Symantec's (NASDAQ: SYMC) senior director of technology and business development, said mobile security requires a unique approach that both preserves open access to applications and provides assurance that those applications are safe to run. "Symantec believes the future of mobile operating systems is openness and open APIs," he said. "Today, the applications are pre-vetted by companies like Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) for the iPhone, but in the future that will change with Android and others."
Top Five Tips for Securing your Business Reputation

Posted: March 10th, 2010, 1:17am CET

There have been recent reports of how a Twitter scam has affected some well known UK politicians, issuing embarrassing Tweets from their personal accounts. Whilst these headlines may seem amusing, Lloyd Borrett, the Marketing Manager at AVG (AU/NZ), says it is worth considering the potential impact of this type of scam on your business reputation. Reputation is everything in the world of a small business, often taking years to establish. Being targeted by a similar scam can have a detrimental effect on the reputation of your company. In a recent NCSA (National Cyber Security Alliance) study on small business security, 69% of small business owners said they would let their customers know if they suffered a security breach, whilst almost half agreed that their customers are concerned about the IT security of their business.
Hackers target freshly uncovered Internet Explorer hole

Posted: March 10th, 2010, 1:16am CET

Microsoft on Tuesday warned that hackers are targeting a freshly-uncovered weakness in some earlier versions of its Internet Explorer (IE) Web browser software. Microsoft said it is investigating a hole that cyber attackers are taking advantage of in IE 6 and IE 7. "At this time, we are aware of targeted attacks attempting to use this vulnerability," Microsoft said in an advisory posted along with a routine release of patches for Windows and Office software. "We will continue to monitor the threat environment and update this advisory if this situation changes." Hackers could use the flaw to remotely seize control of computers. The new IE 8 Web browser and an old IE 5 version are not affected, according to the US software colossus.
