Window 7 64 bits UAC on.. no malware working ?
Submitted by celegorm on Sat, 2010-08-14 23:44. Research | Generic DiscussionHi, I'm trying to test security of Windows 7 64bits and limited user account because I'm not convinced that current malware (common one's) can work properly in Windows 7 64 bits environnement (if the user answer UAC question correctly ) Am I wrong or not ?
someone could give me names of malware which bypass UAC and limited account restrictions ?
greetings
Test Methodology for Evaluating AV Products in Real World Scenarios
Submitted by lylejones on Wed, 2010-07-21 09:53. Malware | Research | toolsAll,
This site was reccomended as a resource from which I might obtain malicious code to conduct some internal testing. It seems as though those resources have been removed... and I can certainly understand why. That does not lessen my desire to accomplish the task at hand.
My company is perfoming an Internal Comparison of the major competing AV Products on the market. The comparison is taking place within a 'Red' ESXi Environment and includes an evaluation of Deployment Tools, Management Tools, and how the products will behave within our typical Network Configurations.

Submitted by Symbian on Fri, 2010-07-16 07:58. Research | Site DiscussionHi Guys,
Looking for someone to collaborate on a paper focusing on quality control in the anti virus industry (improvements/new approaches/current flaws).
Also would really appreciate any feedback or guidance people have on the subject or inputs on what they feel that are areas where people in the A/V industry should focus on.

Finding the TDSS authors and affiliates ---- An Analysis
Submitted by alnscrs on Mon, 2010-05-31 05:54. ResearchAlthough it is a mystery who created TDSS, there are some interesting strings in some of TDSS'es files.
Lets start with this one.
If we open the file in notepad, we see this somewhere:

Intelligence and operational level by Siberia Exploit Pack
Submitted by jamieres on Sat, 2010-05-29 07:22. Exploits | Malware | ResearchSiberia Exploit Pack is a crimeware, evolution of Napoleon Exploit Pack, which we've done a brief description on another occasion. However, since the time of that description to this day, the landscape has expanded its developer.
In this regard, and while it ends up being one of the bunch, the interesting thing about this crimeware is information provided by their panel of statistics (intelligence for the attacker), by the way very similar to that provided by Eleonore Exploit Pack, which provide data regarding the success of business which has the exploit pack for recruitment zombie, discriminating on the basis of these data:
- Countries affected
- Most exploited Operating Systems
- Reference domains with the highest percentage by which vulnerabilities are exploited
- Browsers exploited
- Pre-compiled exploits in this version of the package
Let me stress (because it's a minor detail) with this collection of information is nothing more than to intelligence, which allows the attacker to know, at first instance:
In the former case, the population of which country is more vulnerable, perhaps because of their level of piracy, which brings to attention the lack of security updates for operating systems and applications, because as we will see to reach exploits, all these are known and have long been concerned with the patch that fixes the vulnerability.
In this case, the first five countries where this crimeware has higher infection rate include the United States, Britain, Canada, Russia and Germany.
The same approach is being pursued with the data we obtained on operating systems "vulnerable" in quotes because, as I said above, the degree of vulnerability of the OS depends directly on a number of aspects that should be covered by hardening, in which an important factor is the implementation of security patches.
For example, the vulnerability in MDAC (Microsoft Data Access Components) from the year 2006 (four years), described in Microsoft Official Bulletin MS06-014. The impact on operating systems have this version of crimeware, we can see in the picture below.
The list of operating systems is large and attacked the three with the highest vulnerability gap belongs to the family of Microsoft (which is obviously due to the massiveness of use), and other MS also.
However, the crimeware cover other non-Windows operating systems, including PlayStation consoles (GNU / Linux or Black Rhino) and Nintendo Wii (ironically a modified version of a GNU/Linux), in the case of OS used and Workstations high-end mobile phones, including:
- Mac OS
- GNU/Linux
- FreeBSD
- iPhone
- Windows Mobile
- Windows CE
- Pocket PC
- Symbian OS
Here we are beginning to recognize that criminals have broadened the scope of coverage, incorporating into its portfolio of options exploitation of vulnerabilities (through the browser) and recruitment of zombies on other operating systems used in other computer technologies.
State of the art in CRiMEPACK Exploit Pack
Submitted by jamieres on Sat, 2010-05-22 19:58. Exploits | Malware | ResearchCRiMEPACK exploit pack is a widespread and accepted in the crime scene in this area came under the slogan "Highest Lowest rates for the price".
He is currently In-the-Wild 3.0 version is being developed as alpha (the first of this version). That's, is in the middle stage of evaluation, perhaps in the next few days will go on sale in underground forums, at which time it will know your actual cost.
Like any pack exploit, it also consists of a set of pre-compiled exploits to take advantage of a number of vulnerabilities in systems with weaknesses in some of its applications, then download and run (Drive-by-Download & Execute) codes malicious and convert that system into a zombie, and therefore part of the apparatus crime.
And I mean ... "criminal" because those behind the development of this type of crimeware do for this purpose. And judging by the pictures (a washcloth, a handgun, a wallet, money and what appears to be cocaine, own scenario of all mafia) observed in the authentication interface your control panel, this definition is very evident.
The first time I found this package was in 2009, when version In-the-Wild was version 2.1 and later expressed his "great leap" to one of the most popular: version 2.8 (still active) which in early 2010 had incorporated into its portfolio of exploits CVE-2010-0188 y CVE-2010-0806; in addition to adding an iframe generator and function "Kaspersky Anti-emulation", at a cost of USD 400.
IPv6 Malware
Submitted by zulkiflee on Tue, 2010-05-11 19:11. Research | Generic DiscussionHi guys,
I'm a newbie here. we all know that these malware will impact the operating system. & in term of propagation, its propagate on IPv4 network normally. Can anybody tell me what type of malware (virus, worm, trojan & etc) which can give impact in IPv6 network or, better still the malware which can propagate in both network. Please provide me where gain the resource.
I'm please to hear any comment or suggestion from you guys.
