Beef

May 8th, 2010

On the last meeting of the AK Sicherheit (ECO Verband) we could see a live demo
of the tool Beef (Browser Exploitation Framework). Nice to see that XSS-attacks
(cross-site-scripting) is not only a nice POP-UP window, but is indeed a real attack
vector for anyone.
Try yourself, the software can be downloaded from www.bindshell.net

own rbl started

May 8th, 2010

I finally managed to create my own RBL (realtime blocklist) feeded by my honeypot.
All verified IPs which successfully attacked the honeypot are put into a database, which
provides a rbl for our MXes. The IPs are held for 24 hours except those which have more than 50
successful attacks within the last day. I was wondering if there were any mail-hits to be seen
at all; at least these are totally different attack vectors. But strangely enough I could see
blocked emails because of the entries made by the honeypot. We will see how well this
performs.

Judges drop ipaddress-collection

March 2nd, 2010

Today the Bundesverfassungsgericht judged about the 6 months collection
of ip addresses and email-data. Result: The current laws are not satisfying the german
Grundgesetz (constitution). All saved data are to be deleted.


Press information

On the other hand are these kinds of collection not impossible at all, as long as the
laws are made right. We will see if we can use our boxes for binary-news storage
instead 🙂

new honeypot ips

December 18th, 2009

I’ve added quite a lot of target ips to the honeypot. The number of successfully analyzed attacks per hour
raised to more than 750. Each attack generates an automatic complaint or results in blocking our own customer.
Must have a look if the honeypot and the following systems are powerful enough..

str0ke dead?

November 4th, 2009

Rumors say that str0ke, the maintainer of milw0rm has
died. There has been a lag recently in publishing new exploits on this website, so it might be true?

Update

Seems it was a fake: http://twitter.com/str0ke says he’*s alive and kicking.

Nikto

October 21st, 2009

A post in Full Disclosure reminded me of Nikto,
a security tool for webservices. Based on libwhisker it tests a whole lot of possible bugs
in a webserver/application. Works nice .. just wondering why it says spamversand.de runs on Microsoft IIS 5/0 ..?
