USB Worms January 7, 2009 – 6:55 PM USB worms work by creating a file called AUTORUN.INF on the root of USB drives. These INF files then use Autorun or Autoplay to execute themselves either when the stick is inserted, or more commonly, when the user double-clicks on the USB drive icon from My Computer. Such malicious AUTORUN.INF files are easy to spot. But Downadup does not create files such as this. What it drops on USB drives are AUTORUN.INF files that look like this: (click to enlarge) The noteworthy text is found somewhere around the middle of this 90kB file. At the bottom of the screenshot. See it?Open=RUNDLL32.EXE .\RECYCLER\jwgvsq.vmx…which would execute a DLL called jwgvsq.vmx from a hidden folder on the USB drive.Source:http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/00001575.html Posted in Coding, Hardware, Security, Software, Windows | No Comments VirusTotal Uploader January 7, 2009 – 5:20 PM VirusTotal is a service that analyzes suspicious files and facilitates the quick detection of viruses, worms, trojans, and all kinds of malware detected by antivirus engines.Specs:Free, independent serviceUse of multiple antivirus enginesReal-time automatic updates of virus signaturesDetailed results from each antivirus engineReal time global statistics You can also email your file as an attachment to scan@virustotal.com with the subject of “SCAN” and it will scan the file and email you back the results. Awesome.Download:http://www.virustotal.com/metodos.html Posted in Internet, Security, Software | No Comments Weak Password Brings ‘Happiness’ to Twitter Hacker January 6, 2009 – 7:31 PM An 18-year-old hacker with a history of celebrity pranks has admitted to Monday’s hijacking of multiple high-profile Twitter accounts, including President-Elect Barack Obama’s, and the official feed for Fox News.The hacker, who goes by the handle GMZ, told Threat Level on Tuesday he gained entry to Twitter’s administrative control panel by pointing an automated password-guesser at a popular user’s account. The user turned out to be a member of Twitter’s support staff, who’d chosen the weak password “happiness.”Cracking the site was easy, because Twitter allowed an unlimited number of rapid-fire log-in attempts.“I feel it’s another case of administrators not putting forth effort toward one of the most obvious and overused security flaws,” he wrote in an IM interview. “I’m sure they find it difficult to admit it.”The hacker identified himself only as an 18-year-old student on the East Coast. He agreed to an interview with Threat Level on Tuesday after other hackers implicated him in the attack.The intrusion began unfolding Sunday night, when GMZ randomly targeted the Twitter account belonging to a woman identified as “Crystal.” He found Crystal only because her name had popped up repeatedly as a follower on a number of Twitter feeds. “I thought she was just a really popular member,” he said.Using a tool he authored himself, he launched a dictionary attack against the account, automatically trying English words. He let the program run overnight, and when he checked the results Monday morning at around 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time, he found he was in Crystal’s account.That’s when he realized that Crystal was a Twitter staffer, and he now had the ability to access any other Twitter account by simply resetting an account holder’s password through the administrative panel. He also realized he hadn’t used a proxy to hide his IP address, potentially making him traceable. He didn’t think the intrusion was important enough to draw law-enforcement attention, and “didn’t think it would make headlines.”Source:http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2009/01/professed-twitt.html Posted in Coding, Internet, Privacy, Security | No Comments Google Named No. 3 Spam Provider January 6, 2009 – 6:25 PM According to this eWeek article, Google has been named the #3 spam provider in the world according to the most recent Spamhaus Statistics.They are stating the reason as “Spammers have had success cracking the CAPTCHA tests and creating Gmail accounts from which to spam. Because the spam comes from a domain reputation systems can’t block because it’s so popular, spam from these accounts has an advantage in getting past many anti-spam systems.” Posted in Internet, Privacy | No Comments Cain & Abel v4.9.26 released January 6, 2009 – 5:27 PM Cain & Abel is a password recovery tool for Microsoft Operating Systems.
