The Inevitable iPhone 3G Post

2008-06-11 12:37:46 by Glennf in Wi-Fi Networking News
 
...odd for me. The iPhone is much more like a full-blown computer than any smartphone I've used. It might be the superior browser, and the fact that a single company and design vision has ensured the maximum CPU is available for each current task, and that the interface and actions are nearly always consistent across every piece of software....

...odd. The selected certificate is one of two Symantec certificates. Three things are of interest, and you can see the first two in the picture: The purposes for the certificate are " ". Usually certificates are listed as being used for a more limited set of purposes, such as server authentication or code signing. Also note that the "Friendly...

2007-12-20 22:11:11 by RSnake in ha.ckers.org web application security lab
 
...odd traffic. Some of it good, some of it not so much. Lets take a look at some of Googles traffic since its a slow day. If nothing else its good for a laugh. First lets look at Google trying to hack us - XSS style 66.249.73.40 - - [26/Nov/2007:01:53:58 +0000] GET /blog/?%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert(1)%3C/script%3E HTTP/1.1 200 55053 - Mozilla/5.0...

Initiating Probes Against Servers Via Other Servers

2007-12-09 22:41:37 by RSnake in ha.ckers.org web application security lab
 
Okay, this is convoluted but still kinda cool. I was looking through some pages on various tools out there, and happened across GRCs probe page that is designed to detect if there are open ports and what the threats are associated with that port. It is protected from nefarious purposes by only scanning the port of the IP address you are...

Bogus Microsoft sweepstakes emails

2007-08-19 22:35:48 by Steve Riley in Steve Riley on Security
 
...odd The subject line is "YOU WON (500,000.00GBP)! Microsoft congratulates you!" Official communications from us typically DON'T SHOUT FROM THE ROOFTOPS. Also, it's incorrect to use both a currency symbol and the three-letter currency name. This like saying "$1,000USD." It's either "$1,000" or "1,000USD," but not both. And why is the amount in...

...odd postings of messages on their "wall" from one of their friends, saying: "lol i can't believe these pics got posted.... it's going to be BADDDD when her boyfriend sees these," followed by what looks like a genuine Facebook link.

Process Doubling

2008-01-27 22:44:57 by RSnake in ha.ckers.org web application security lab
 
I was working on a client a week ago or so and we completely compromised their network. Its a fairly common occurrence during an audit (given there are logistical reasons that make many common techniques off limits). It was mission accomplished for showing the vulnerabilities in the client. However, I started thinking about the firewall egress...
