Essentially, howm provides an Emacs minor mode for marking text to trigger certain searches. Since it is a minor mode, you can use whatever major mode you like to use for your writing (e.g., I currently use markdown-mode ).<br> There are two essential kinds of markup howm cares about: note titles and links. By default, titles are marked up by putting a ‘ = ’ at the beginning of the line, but this can be configured (and must be done so before loading howm-mode (!)). The benefit of adding a title to a note is that you can have the summary buffer show titles instead of matching lines, which can be helpful to get a better overview of search results. (The creator of howm is sceptical of titling all notes, I think it very much depends the average length of your notes. There is no requirement to use titles.)<br> Pressing return on this line when howm-mode is enabled will show a list of all occurences of the word howm in your notes directory.<br> And this will cause the word howm in any howm-mode buffer to be underlined and trigger a search where the buffer with <<< howm will appear first.<br> It is straightforward to implement something like #tags or WikiWords using these features, if you wish to do so.<br> Additionally, howm provides an inline link syntax [[…]] that works like >>> but can appear within a line. I make a suggestion below how to turn it into a direct link to the first page with the given title; but for now I decided not to use this very much.<br> The line-based nature of the >>> syntax prevents usage for “inline” links. After giving it some thought, I consider it a strength for a note-taking system to make forward links related to a paragraph and not part of a sentence. Additionally, it also makes the plain text easier to read as the link target is not interleaved into the text. (Compare with the use of reference-style links in Markdown.)<br> An aside: howm actually supports multiple notes per file by having multiple title lines in a file. The search summary will always show the title directly before the matching line. You can use C-c , C to create a new note in the current buffer. I don’t use this much, but I think it could be useful for glossary files that contain many short notes. Some people also use this for keeping multiple daily notes in a single file.<br> Howm provides two main features to access notes: the menu and the summary buffer. The howm menu (shown with C-c , , ) provides a very customizable view into your howm notes. By default it shows your schedule, recent notes, and random notes. You can access many howm features with a single keypress from the menu. Since I don’t use the scheduling feature, I mostly access howm from the summary buffer instead.<br> The howm summary buffer shows the result of a search ( C-c , g ), a list of recent notes ( C-c , l ), or an overview of all notes ( C-c , a ). It is very convenient to see the matches and you get a preview of the note when you move the cursor to a search result. Typing RET will open the note for editing. Typing T will toggle between displaying matching lines or the titles of notes with matches.<br> In the summary buffer, you can also type @ and read all matching notes in a concatenated way, so you get the full context of all notes at once.<br> Here, we decide that ~/prj/howm is the base directory for our howm notes, and we also put the two auxiliary files howm uses there. Additionally, we change the default name format to end with .md (which also turns on markdown-mode by default).<br> The next addition is interactive search with ripgrep ( C-c , r ). This is the most useful feature I added to howm myself. I think it provides a great way to interact with your notes, as you get instant feedback from your search terms, and can stop searching as soon as you found what you were looking for. I used counsel-rg as an inspiration for this, and we turn the ripgrep matches into a regular howm summary buffer for further consumption.<br> A great usability enhancement is buffer renaming: since howm file names are a bit unwieldy (like ~/prj/howm/2022/03/2022-03-25-162227.md ) you can use these two lines to rename note buffers according to their title, which makes switching between multiple notes more convenient.<br> My configuration ends with three definitions of action-lock , the howm mechanism for marking text active and do something on RET. Two of them are related to the reference management software <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.zotero.org/">Zotero</a> , which I use for organizing papers, and enable me to link to articles in my Zotero database by URL or BibTeX identifier:<br> Finally, as mentioned above, this is how to make [[…]] wiki-links directly point to the first page with that title, skipping the summary buffer:<br> One thing I want to implement but didn’t yet get around to is support for searching notes using <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/Genivia/ugrep">ugrep</a> , which has a nifty boolean search mode that applies to whole files, so you can do searches that are not limited to a line context (e.g. hoge|fuga -piyo finds all notes that mention hoge or fuga, but don’t contain piyo).<br> A dozen years ago, the Unix textbook answer to this would have been: well, if its process id (pid) is 1, then it is init by definition.<br> These days, things are not that simple anymore. Containerization creates situations where pid is 1, but the process runs, well, in a container. In Linux, this is realized by using a feature called “pid namespaces”. The clone(2) syscall can take the flag CLONE_NEWPID (“since Linux 2.6.24”), which puts the new process into a new pid namespace. This means that this process will have pid 1 inside the pid namespace, but outside (i.e. in the parent pid namespace), the process has a regular pid. Various Linux API transparently translate pids between these namespaces.<br> We can try to find some evidence that we’re a freshly booted init , but none of it is really conclusive:<br> $TERM should be linux ; trivial to override.<br> $BOOT_IMAGE is set, but this depends on the boot loader.<br> System uptime is “low”, but it takes the initrd boot time into account. Our non-root init could be spawned in a container at boot time.<br> There are also some indicators the process runs in a container using one of the popular solutions such as docker or podman :<br> If we were put inside a cgroup, reading /proc/1/cgroup will indicate it.<br> The file /.dockerenv exists.<br> But there are still situations, such as the unshare call above, where all of these things may not be true.<br> I started to research this and quickly found the ioctl(2) NS_GET_PARENT which seemed to be useful: “Returns a file descriptor that refers to the parent namespace of the namespace referred to by fd.” However, it is useless for this purpose:<br> So, we need to bring out bigger guns in. I searched the kernel source for <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.15/A/ident/init_pid_ns">occurrences of</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.15/A/ident/init_pid_ns">init_pid_ns</a> , as this namespace is called in the Linux source code. There are not too many occurrences we can rely on. The taskstats module limits the TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_REGISTER_CPUMASK command to the initial pid namespace only, but to use this requires speaking the netlink interface, which is terrible. Also, the behavior could change in future versions.<br> One interesting, and viable approach, is <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.15/source/kernel/pid_namespace.c#L300">this limitation</a> of the reboot(2) syscall: only some LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_* commands are allowed to be sent inside a nested pid namespace. Now, we need to find a “harmless” command to call reboot(2) with to test this! (Obviously, only being able to suspend the machine from the initial pid namespace is not a very useful check…) There are two commands that do not do much harm: LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_CAD_{ON,OFF} will toggle the action that Ctrl-Alt-Delete performs. Unfortunately, it is impossible to read the state of this flag, making this test a destructive operation still. (But if you are pid 1, you may want to set it anyway, so you get pid namespace detection for free.)<br> So I kept looking for other ways until I realized there’s a quite natural property to check for, and that is to find out if there are kernel threads in the pid namespace. Kernel threads are spawned by the kernel in the initial pid namespace and help perform certain asynchronous actions the kernel has to do, subject to process scheduling. As far as I know, kernel threads never occur in a nested pid namespace, and at least the parent process of kernel threads, kthreadd , will always exist. Conveniently, it also always has pid 2.<br> /proc/PID/cmdline is empty (not a good indicator, user space processes can clear it too).<br> kernel threads have parent pid 0 (requires parsing /proc/PID/stat , which <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/409493">everyone gets wrong</a> the first time, or /proc/PID/status ).<br> kernel threads have no Vm* data in /proc/PID/status .<br> kernel threads have the flag PF_KTHREAD set (requires parsing /proc/PID/stat again).<br> kernel threads have an empty symlink for /proc/PID/exe .<br> On a regular file system, using lstat(2) would have filled st_size with the length of the symlink. But on a procfs , lstat is not to be trusted, and even non-empty symlinks have st_size equal to 0. We thus really need to use the readlink(2) syscall to read the link. After doing this, you will notice that it returns ENOENT … exactly the same as if pid 2 did not exist!<br> We therefore need another check, to verify that pid 2 does exist. Luckily, here a lstat on /proc/2/exe file is fine. It must return zero.<br> Note that you need to do these operations in exactly this order , else you are subject to race conditions again: the only reason this works is that if pid 2 is kthreadd , it will not have terminated before the lstat check (because it cannot terminate).<br> Therefore, readlink(2) failing with ENOENT and lstat(2) succeeding is exactly the combination required to check pid 2 is kthreadd , which implies there are kernel threads in our pid namespace, which implies that we are in the initial namespace.<br> We subtract the ASCII lines from the character 0 to get numerical rows.

need, and then send that picture to your grandma, who can see it seconds later. Consumer photography is a largely solved problem. However, the same innovations that have benefited consumers - access to high quality cameras, ease of use, rapid distribution of photos - have created a multitude of complexities for businesses who are now forced to deal with both a more discerning user and a more complicated visual landscape. Delivering the highest quality, lowest latency image to your users is getting progressively harder over time as more and more factors play a role in what delivering the “perfect” image means.</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.chriszacharias.com/imgix-a-new-step-forward">Nobody should have to become an imaging scientist to achieve the most with their images.

This is why I wanted to tell the story of how, ten years ago, a small team of web developers conspired to kill IE6 from inside YouTube and got away with it.</a><br> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.chriszacharias.com/a-conspiracy-to-kill-ie6">I do not recall the exact triggering event that led to our web development team laying out plans to kill IE6 over lunch in the YouTube cafeteria. Perhaps it was the time I pushed out a CSS stylesheet that included an attribute selector on a semi-supported HTML element. Any reasonable web developer would expect this to be ignored by browsers not up to the task. This was not the case with older flavors of IE. Under very specific conditions, an attribute selector on an unsupported HTML element in IE would create an internal recursion that would at best, cause the browser to crash and at worst...</a><br> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.chriszacharias.com/imaging-and-the-internet">Consider what taking a simple photograph meant 25 years ago. You had film cameras, negatives, dark rooms, emulsions, and paper. It would take days to produce a picture you could show to someone. Now consider what taking a photograph means today. With a smartphone that fits in our pocket, we can capture a photo, edit it, view it, and show it to anyone, all in as a little as a few seconds. These fantastic devices are simultaneously capable of capturing high resolution visuals, displaying them, and immediately distributing them to a billion other devices similarly capable of the exact same things. It is now actually perceivable that a photo you take one moment could be seen by over half of the entire human population a moment later. This power in visual expression has never existed before.</a><br> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.chriszacharias.com/imaging-and-the-internet">We can create and express visual media so incredibly fast that it is causing new behavioral patterns...</a><br> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.chriszacharias.com/multiplane-camera">During a recent trip to the Disney Museum in San Francisco, I became immediately fascinated by the multiplane camera that was on display there. The gigantic machine represents so much of what I find inspiring in graphics and technology. It is fun to get lost in thought, imagining what the modern equivalent of the multiplane camera might be and how to foster the intersection of art and technology from which the multiplane camera emerged.</a><br> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.chriszacharias.com/multiplane-camera">The multiplane camera was invented in 1933 by famous Disney animator/director Ub Iwerks. It worked by enabling animators to position their layers of acetate animation cels at varying distances and offsets in a vertical column. They could then shoot a camera downward to compose the cels into a single frame. While animators had been using acetate celluloid frames composited over painted mattes for decades prior, the technical effects that the multiplane...</a><br> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.chriszacharias.com/page-weight-matters">Three years ago, while I was a web developer at YouTube, one of the senior engineers began a rant about the page weight of the video watch page being far too large. The page had ballooned to as high as 1.2MB and dozens of requests. This engineer openly vented that “if they can write an entire Quake clone in under 100KB, we have no excuse for this!” Given that I agreed with him and I was excited to find a new project, I decided to champion the cause of getting the YouTube watch page to weigh in under 100KB. On the shuttle home from San Bruno that night, I coded up a prototype. I decided to limit the functionality to just a basic masthead, the video player, five related videos, a sharing button, a flagging tool, and ten comments loaded in via AJAX. I code-named the project “Feather”.</a><br> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.chriszacharias.com/page-weight-matters">Even with such a limited set of features, the page was weighing in at 250KB.

I remember distinctly when Jessica Livingston announced the $150K we would be getting from SV Angel and Start Fund. When she told us the terms, the room erupted in shouting and applause.

For example to send an email the third, sixth, ninth, etc. time we call it, use:<br> The command uses a guard file written to $XDG_DATA_HOME/every . If XDG_DATA_HOME is unset then it defaults to $HOME/.local/share .<br> The name of the guard file is derived from the arguments passed to every (using sha1) and the content of the guard file is a counter to keep track of how many times we have been called. As a convenience we also write the command to the guard file.<br> Once the counter reaches the value given via -n then every will remove the guard file and exec your command.<br> If the external guard file is undesired or readability is not a concern, then an alternative approach is to use modular arithmetic with the UNIX epoch returned by date +%s . For an example see <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://coderwall.com/p/yzzu5a">this post</a> .<br> If you upgraded to Mountain Lion and often want to cd into ~/Library/Application Support you might be a little annoyed by the new Application Scripts directory that makes the normal ~/Library/Ap⇥ stop at ~/Library/Application S‸ to have you disambiguate the path.<br> To avoid this you can set the FIGNORE variable. From man bash :<br> Some other useful variables you can set in ~/.inputrc that (IMHO) improve the default behavior of filename completion:<br> The ignore case allows you to type ~/l⇥ and still get ~/Library/ .<br> Marking symlinked directories is useful for /tmp , /etc , and /var .<br> The binary installed is named g++-mp-4.5 and you must use the -std=c++0x argument to enable the new features.<br> This was executed on a 2 × 2.8 GHz Quad Core Mac Pro where PBZip2 (correctly) auto-detected 8 cores.<br> I am running PBZip2 version 1.1.0 from MacPorts ( sudo port install pbzip2 ).<br> Update: Added test with <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzip.html">LZip</a> (an LZMA based compresser). There is a multi-threaded implementation of this ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/plzip.html">plzip</a> ) but a quick ./configure && make did not cut it.<br> I just learned this neat thing about the cd shell command:<br> The variable CDPATH defines the search path for the directory containing «dir» . Alternative directory names in CDPATH are separated by a colon ( : ). A null directory name is the same as the current directory. If «dir» begins with a slash ( / ), then CDPATH is not used.<br> This works with tab completion (using bash 4.1.2) so regardless of the current directory, I can generally do cd Av⇥↩ to reach ~/Source/Avian .<br> This is part 2 of what I think will end up as four parts. This might be a bit of a rehash of the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="http://sigpipe.macromates.com/2010/01/15/build-automation-part-1/">first part</a> , but I skimmed lightly over why it actually is that I am so fond of make compared to most other build systems, so I will elaborate with some examples.<br> This post is a “getting started with make ”. I plan to follow up with a part 2 about how to handle auto-generated self-updating Makefiles.<br> I host two blogs, a wiki, and a ticket system, all targets for spam, so I have since generalized the system by using <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html">mod_rewrite</a> to redirect all POSTs without a cookie to a page which uses JavaScript to set this cookie and resubmit the request (which is then no longer catched by mod_rewrite due to the cookie being set). This means “blocking” spam doesn’t require a plug-in written specifically for the particular web application.<br> It is sometimes useful to have a script check the OS version, for example the way to get the user’s full name was previously done using niutil but Apple removed that command in Leopard (it can now be done using dscl ).<br> One of my path functions is normalize . It removes (redundant) slashes and references to directory meta entries (current and parent directory).<br> A lot of other path functions use or rely on normalize , for example my version of <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="x-man-page://3/dirname">dirname()</a> is simply: return normalize(path + "/.."); .<br> I was recently tasked with rewriting normalize to be more efficient and it proved to be a bit of a challenge, so I’ll share what I came up with.<br> Each time you add a rectangle you get back an identifier for this rectangle which can’t be stored in an NSArray as-is since it is of the primitive type NSTrackingRectTag (an integer).<br> If you use Objective-C++ then you can use a std::vector<NSTrackingRectTag> to avoid having to box/unbox your identifiers but if you have tried to put non-POD in the interface declaration of your Objective-C class you have probably seen that gcc does not like that.<br> Well, starting with 10.4 (so actually, some time ago) Apple added a switch to gcc which allows C++ objects as part of the instance data, and it will call both constructor and destructor for your C++ objects when allocating/deallocating the Objective-C object.<br> The flag you need to set is -fobjc-call-cxx-cdtors .<br> Occasionally it is convenient to pass a C++ object to an Objective-C method. For example I have an NSString initializer that takes a std::string as argument.<br> This works as long as you pass the object as a reference (i.e. pass a pointer), but you can use the “reference of” operator in the method signature rather than at the call-site. By using a const reference it will work for temporary/implicit objects.<br> Two very nice shell commands that Apple has given us are the pbcopy and pbpaste commands. These allow stdin to go to the clipboard and the clipboard to be written to stdout.<br> There’s just one source, it compiles to a command which works as pbcopy , when called under that name, otherwise pbpaste .<br> What I’ve done is place the command in ~/bin and added a symbolic link from pbpaste to pbcopy , like this:<br> And in addition ensured that my PATH contains ~/bin before anything else, i.e. by placing the following in my ~/.bash_profile (well, actually ~/.zshrc ):<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/nuncle/haw/20220520-163523/ Fri, 20 May 2022 16:35:23 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/nuncle/haw/20220520-163523/ For a long time, I used the built-in microphone for my laptop (along with headphones and an external webcam). Getting an all-in-one headset made a huge difference, both for me and my teammates. Between the latency and the (lack of) noise correction, using the built-in microphone meant a lot of slightly awkward pauses, or accidentally interrupting because the other person had started speaking, but I couldn’t hear it yet. With an all-in-one headset, the microphone is much closer to the source (your voice) and it doesn’t pick up the sound from your headset speakers the way your laptop microphone does when you use it without headphones. This makes the noise correction works much better, giving the illusion of lower latency, and so it feels a lot more like having a natural conversation. (I have the Jabra UC Voice ), but I think any dedicated computer headset will work better than the built-in laptop microphone and speakers).<br> If you really can’t break the habit of logging errors, you can at least add a hook to log.error that sends the error (and a complete stacktrace) to an error reporting tool like Sentry.<br> Logging can be useful for some purposes. However, it’s rare that they’re the only tool for monitoring your code. And it’s even rarer that they’re the best tool. When writing software that scales, you need to be able to deal with aggregate information – the firehose is too unwieldy to parse mentally. Logs that can be aggregated are better than logs that can’t. In those cases, it’s best to keep logging, but when you need to diagnose a problem, you’ll be interested in reading aggregate queries across your logs, rather than viewing raw, unaggregated logs in chronological order. The former is a powerful way to absorb a lot of information about your systems quickly.

In the one-to-one approach, a live video selfie is compared to the image on a driver’s license, for example. One-to-many facial recognition involves comparing a face against a database of other faces to find any potential matches.<br> Americans have particular reason to be concerned about the difference between these two types of facial recognition, says the letter to the FTC, signed by Sens. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Edward Markey (D-Mass.), Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.):<br> “While one-to-one recognition involves a one-time comparison of two images in order to confirm an applicant’s identity, the use of one-to-many recognition means that millions of innocent people will have their photographs endlessly queried as part of a digital ‘line up.’ Not only does this violate individuals’ privacy, but the inevitable false matches associated with one-to-many recognition can result in applicants being wrongly denied desperately-needed services for weeks or even months as they try to get their case reviewed.”<br> “This risk is especially acute for people of color: NIST’s Facial Recognition Vendor Test found that many facial recognition algorithms have rates of false matches that are as much as 100 times higher for individuals from countries in West Africa, East Africa and East Asia than for individuals from Eastern European countries. This means Black and Asian Americans could be disproportionately likely to be denied benefits due to a false match in a one-to-many facial recognition system.”<br> The lawmakers say that throughout the latter half of 2021, ID.me published statements and blog posts stating it did not use one-to-many facial recognition and that the approach was “problematic” and “tied to surveillance operations.” But several days after <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/01/irs-will-soon-require-selfies-for-online-access/">a Jan. 16, 2022 post here about the IRS’s new facial ID requirement</a> went viral and prompted a public backlash, Hall <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6892131524746326016/">acknowledged in a LinkedIn posting</a> that ID.me does use one-to-many facial recognition.<br> “Within days, the company edited the numerous blog posts and white papers on its website that previously stated the company did not use one-to-many to reflect the truth,” the letter alleges. “According to media reports, the company’s decision to correct its prior misleading statements came after mounting internal pressure from its employees.” <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/05/senators-urge-ftc-to-probe-id-me-over-selfie-data/#more-59891">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/05/senators-urge-ftc-to-probe-id-me-over-selfie-data/">Senators Urge FTC to Probe ID.me Over Selfie Data</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/rat/realty/20220519-001755/ Thu, 19 May 2022 00:17:54 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/rat/realty/20220519-001755/ Update : Someone on Twitter (Thomas Duboucher, perhaps? Sorry, I lost the tweet!) pointed out that the 1- and 3-step ordering give the same results in many cases. Having thought about it, that's correct! As long as you don't use maps, arrays, or tagged values as map keys, I believe they coincide. For something like CTAP2, where map keys are always ints or strings, they work out the same. So perhaps things aren't so bad. (Or perhaps a really subtle difference is worse! Time will tell.)<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/steeplejack/garrote/20220518-204946/ Wed, 18 May 2022 20:49:45 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/steeplejack/garrote/20220518-204946/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/05/podcast-episode-ai-hammer-search-nail">Podcast Episode - An AI Hammer in Search of a Nail</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/beautifying/hagriding/20220518-204539/ Wed, 18 May 2022 20:45:39 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/beautifying/hagriding/20220518-204539/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/05/podcast-episode-ai-hammer-search-nail">Podcast Episode - An AI Hammer in Search of a Nail</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/projects/dusked/jubilate/20220518-204202/ Wed, 18 May 2022 20:42:02 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/projects/dusked/jubilate/20220518-204202/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://deno.com/blog/v1.22">Deno 1.22 Release Notes Deno 1.22 changes default type-checking behavior, removes Deno.emit() API, adds Response.json() API, adds Deno namespace to workers by default, and more</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/projects/pulsed/prayerfully/20220518-204115/ Wed, 18 May 2022 20:41:15 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/projects/pulsed/prayerfully/20220518-204115/ For OFT-2 quick links, <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.nasa.gov/content/commercial-crew-resources">click here</a> .<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/news/spearheading/harden/20220518-203729/ Wed, 18 May 2022 20:37:29 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/news/spearheading/harden/20220518-203729/ <p><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/05/podcast-episode-ai-hammer-search-nail">Podcast Episode - An AI Hammer in Search of a Nail</a><br></p> <hr> There is a lot to appreciate in the recently published “Notice of Funding Opportunity” (NOFO) by the Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications Information Administration (NTIA).

The research mentions GKE, including how developers should look at the privileged pod problem today, what the GKE team is doing to minimize the use of privileged pods, and actions GKE users can take to protect their clusters.<br> Privileged pods within the context of GKE security While privileged pods can pose a security issue, it’s important to look at them within the overall context of GKE security. To use a privileged pod as a “trampoline” in GKE, there is a major prerequisite – the attacker has to first execute a successful application compromise and container breakout attack. Because the use of privileged pods in an attack requires a first step such as a container breakout to be effective, let’s look at two areas:<br> features of GKE you can use to reduce the likelihood of a container breakout<br> steps the GKE team is taking to minimize the use of privileged pods and the privileges needed in them.<br> Reducing container breakouts There are a number of features in GKE along with some best practices that you can use to reduce the likelihood of a container breakout:<br> Use <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/concepts/sandbox-pods">GKE Sandbox</a> to strengthen the container security boundary.

While it’s not uncommon for customers to install privileged pods into their clusters, GKE works to minimize the privilege levels held by our system components, especially those that are enabled by default. However, there are limits as to how many privileges can be removed from certain features. For example, Anthos Config Management requires permissions to modify most Kubernetes objects to be able to create and manage those objects. Some other privileges are baked into the system, such as those held by Kubelet. Previously, we worked with the Kubernetes community to build the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/admission-controllers/#noderestriction">Node Restriction</a> and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/node/">Node Authorizer</a> features to limit Kubelet's access to highly sensitive objects, such as secrets, adding protection against an attacker with access to the Kubelet credentials. More recently, we have taken steps to reduce the number of privileged pods across GKE and have added additional documentation on privileges used in system pods as well as information on how to improve pod isolation. Below are the steps we’ve taken:<br> We have added <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/hardening-your-cluster#restrict_self_modify">an admission controller to GKE Autopilot and GKE Standard (on by default) and GKE/Anthos (opt-in)</a> that stops attempts to run as a more privileged service account, which blocks a method of escalating privileges using privileged pods.<br> We created a permission scanning tool that identifies pods that have privileges that could be used for escalation, and we used that tool to perform an audit across GKE and Anthos.<br> The permission scanning tool is now integrated into our standard code review and testing processes to reduce the risk of introducing privileged pods into the system. As mentioned earlier, some features require privileges to perform their function.<br> We are using the audit results to reduce permissions available to pods. For example, we removed “update nodes and pods” permissions from anetd in GKE.<br> Where privileged pods are required for the operation of a feature, we’ve added additional documentation to illustrate that fact.<br> We added <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/isolate-workloads-dedicated-nodes">documentation</a> that outlines how to isolate GKE-managed workloads in dedicated node pools when you’re unable to use GKE Sandbox to reduce the risk of privilege escalation attacks.<br> In addition to the measures above, we recommend users take advantage of tools that can scan RBAC settings to detect overprivileged pods used in their applications. As part of their presentation, the Palo Alto researchers announced an open source tool, called <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/PaloAltoNetworks/rbac-police">rbac-police</a> , that can be used for the task. So, while it only takes a single overprivileged workload to trampoline to the cluster, there are a number of actions you can take to minimize the likelihood of the prerequisite container breakout and the number of privileges used by a pod.<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/projects/pulsed/prayerfully/20220518-160240/ Wed, 18 May 2022 16:02:40 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/projects/pulsed/prayerfully/20220518-160240/ <p><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blogs.nasa.gov/commercialcrew/2022/05/18/orbital-flight-test-2-starliner-atlas-v-roll-to-pad-nasa-leaders-to-brief-media/">Orbital Flight Test-2 Starliner, Atlas V Roll to Pad, NASA Leaders to Brief Media</a><br></p> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blogs.nasa.gov/commercialcrew/2022/05/17/starliner-nears-launch-crew-works-space-botany-and-human-research/">Starliner Nears Launch, Crew Works Space Botany and Human Research</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/ideo/fleury/20220518-160033/ Wed, 18 May 2022 16:00:33 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/ideo/fleury/20220518-160033/ Millions of U.S. government employees and contractors have been issued a secure smart ID card that enables physical access to buildings and controlled spaces, and provides access to government computer networks and systems at the cardholder’s appropriate security level. But many government employees aren’t issued an approved card reader device that lets them use these cards at home or remotely, and so turn to low-cost readers they find online. What could go wrong? Here’s one example.<br> A sample Common Access Card (CAC). Image: Cac.mil.<br> KrebsOnSecurity recently heard from a reader — we’ll call him “Mark” because he wasn’t authorized to speak to the press — who works in IT for a major government defense contractor and was issued a Personal Identity Verification (PIV) government smart card designed for civilian employees. Not having a smart card reader at home and lacking any obvious guidance from his co-workers on how to get one, Mark opted to purchase a $15 reader from Amazon that said it was made to handle U.S. government smart cards.<br> The USB-based device Mark settled on is the first result that currently comes up one when searches on Amazon.com for “PIV card reader.” The card reader Mark bought was sold by a company called Saicoo , whose sponsored Amazon listing advertises a “DOD Military USB Common Access Card (CAC) Reader” and has more than 11,700 mostly positive ratings.<br> The <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.cac.mil/common-access-card/">Common Access Card</a> (CAC) is the standard identification for active duty uniformed service personnel, selected reserve, DoD civilian employees, and eligible contractor personnel. It is the principal card used to enable physical access to buildings and controlled spaces, and provides access to DoD computer networks and systems.<br> Mark said when he received the reader and plugged it into his Windows 10 PC, the operating system complained that the device’s hardware drivers weren’t functioning properly. Windows suggested consulting the vendor’s website for newer drivers.<br> The Saicoo smart card reader that Mark purchased. Image: Amazon.com<br> So Mark went to the website mentioned on Saicoo’s packaging and found a ZIP file containing drivers for Linux, Mac OS and Windows:<br> Image: Saicoo<br> Out of an abundance of caution, Mark submitted Saicoo’s drivers file to <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.virustotal.com">Virustotal.com</a> , which simultaneously scans any shared files with more than five dozen antivirus and security products. Virustotal reported that some 43 different security tools detected the Saicoo drivers as malicious. The consensus seems to be that the ZIP file currently harbors a malware threat known as <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/us/threat-encyclopedia/malware/trojan.win32.ramnit.a">Ramnit</a> , a fairly common but dangerous trojan horse that spreads by appending itself to other files.<br> Image: Virustotal.com<br> Ramnit is a well-known and older threat — first surfacing more than a decade ago — but it has evolved over the years and is <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.cybereason.com/blog/research/banking-trojan-delivered-by-lolbins-ramnit-trojan">still employed in more sophisticated data exfiltration attacks</a> . Amazon said in a written statement that it was investigating the reports.<br> “Seems like a potentially significant national security risk, considering that many end users might have elevated clearance levels who are using PIV cards for secure access,” Mark said.<br> Mark said he contacted Saicoo about their website serving up malware, and received a response saying the company’s newest hardware did not require any additional drivers. He said Saicoo did not address his concern that the driver package on its website was bundled with malware.<br> In response to KrebsOnSecurity’s request for comment, Saicoo sent a somewhat less reassuring reply.<br> “From the details you offered, issue may probably caused by your computer security defense system as it seems not recognized our rarely used driver & detected it as malicious or a virus,” Saicoo’s support team wrote in an email.<br> “Actually, it’s not carrying any virus as you can trust us, if you have our reader on hand, please just ignore it and continue the installation steps,” the message continued. “When driver installed, this message will vanish out of sight. Don’t worry.” <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/05/when-your-smart-id-card-reader-comes-with-malware/#more-59840">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/05/when-your-smart-id-card-reader-comes-with-malware/">When Your Smart ID Card Reader Comes With Malware</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220517-165927/ Tue, 17 May 2022 16:59:26 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220517-165927/ <ol> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.calnewport.com/blog/2022/05/16/taking-a-break-from-social-media-makes-you-happier-and-less-anxious/">Taking a Break from Social Media Makes You Happier and Less Anxious</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=calnewport.com">calnewport.com</a> )<br></li> </ol> https://www.whatsupup.com/projects/pulsed/prayerfully/20220517-164905/ Tue, 17 May 2022 16:49:04 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/projects/pulsed/prayerfully/20220517-164905/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blogs.nasa.gov/commercialcrew/2022/05/17/televised-prelaunch-briefing-set-for-nasas-boeing-orbital-flight-test-2/">Televised Prelaunch Briefing Set for NASA’s Boeing Orbital Flight Test-2</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/twopenny/ultraism/20220517-162219/ Tue, 17 May 2022 16:22:19 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/twopenny/ultraism/20220517-162219/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/">World</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/no-lights-no-heat-no-money-thats-life-ukraine-during-cyber-warfare-2022-01-14/">No lights, no heat, no money -

An internal memo shared with employees said the platform’s general manager and general manager for revenue would be departing. By Mike Isaac</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/ideo/fleury/20220514-015331/ Sat, 14 May 2022 01:53:31 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/ideo/fleury/20220514-015331/ The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) says it is investigating reports that hackers gained unauthorized access to an agency portal that taps into 16 different federal law enforcement databases. KrebsOnSecurity has learned the alleged compromise is tied to a cybercrime and online harassment community that routinely impersonates police and government officials to harvest personal information on their targets.<br> Unidentified hackers shared this screenshot of alleged access to the Drug Enforcement Administration’s intelligence sharing portal.<br> On May 8, KrebsOnSecurity received a tip that hackers obtained a username and password for an authorized user of esp.usdoj.gov , which is the Law Enforcement Inquiry and Alerts (LEIA) system managed by the DEA.<br> KrebsOnSecurity shared information about the allegedly hijacked account with the DEA, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Department of Justice , which houses both agencies. The DEA declined to comment on the validity of the claims, issuing only a brief statement in response.<br> “DEA takes cyber security and information of intrusions seriously and investigates all such reports to the fullest extent,” the agency said in a statement shared via email.<br> According to <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.justice.gov/open/inventory.php?page=87">this page</a> at the Justice Department website, LEIA “provides federated search capabilities for both EPIC and external database repositories,” including data classified as “law enforcement sensitive” and “mission sensitive” to the DEA.<br> A <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/sites/default/files/ondcp/policy-and-research/southwest_strategy-3.pdf">document published by the Obama administration in May 2016</a> (PDF) says the DEA’s <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Paso_Intelligence_Center">El Paso Intelligence Center</a> (EPIC) systems in Texas are available for use by federal, state, local and tribal law enforcement, as well as the Department of Defense and intelligence community.<br> EPIC and LEIA also have access to the DEA’s National Seizure System (NSS), which the DEA uses to identify property thought to have been purchased with the proceeds of criminal activity (think fancy cars, boats and homes seized from drug kingpins).<br> “The EPIC System Portal (ESP) enables vetted users to remotely and securely share intelligence, access the National Seizure System, conduct data analytics, and obtain information in support of criminal investigations or law enforcement operations,” the 2016 White House document reads. “Law Enforcement Inquiry and Alerts (LEIA) allows for a federated search of 16 Federal law enforcement databases.”<br> The screenshots shared with this author indicate the hackers could use EPIC to look up a variety of records, including those for motor vehicles, boats, firearms, aircraft, and even drones.<br> Claims about the purloined DEA access were shared with this author by “ KT ,” the current administrator of the Doxbin — a highly toxic online community that provides a forum for digging up personal information on people and posting it publicly.<br> As KrebsOnSecurity reported earlier this year, the previous owner of the Doxbin has been <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/03/a-closer-look-at-the-lapsus-data-extortion-group/">identified as the leader</a> of LAPSUS$ , a data extortion group that hacked into some of the world’s largest tech companies this year — including Microsoft, NVIDIA, Okta, Samsung and T-Mobile.<br> That reporting also showed how the core members of LAPSUS$ were involved in <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/03/hackers-gaining-power-of-subpoena-via-fake-emergency-data-requests/">selling a service offering fraudulent Emergency Data Requests</a> (EDRs), wherein the hackers use compromised police and government email accounts to file warrantless data requests with social media firms, mobile telephony providers and other technology firms, attesting that the information being requested can’t wait for a warrant because it relates to an urgent matter of life and death.<br> From the standpoint of individuals involved in filing these phony EDRs, access to databases and user accounts within the Department of Justice would be a major coup. But the data in EPIC would probably be far more valuable to organized crime rings or drug cartels, said Nicholas Weaver , a researcher for the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/icsi/">International Computer Science Institute</a> at University of California, Berkeley .<br> Weaver said it’s clear from the screenshots shared by the hackers that they could use their access not only to view sensitive information, but also submit false records to law enforcement and intelligence agency databases.<br> “I don’t think these [people] realize what they got, how much money the cartels would pay for access to this,” Weaver said. “Especially because as a cartel you don’t search for yourself you search for your enemies, so that even if it’s discovered there is no loss to you of putting things ONTO the DEA’s radar.”<br> The DEA’s EPIC portal login page.<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/05/dea-investigating-breach-of-law-enforcement-data-portal/">DEA Investigating Breach of Law Enforcement Data Portal</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220512-161926/ Thu, 12 May 2022 16:19:25 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220512-161926/ <ol> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/eu-surveillance-csam/">EU Commission is planning automatic CSAM scanning of private communications</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=tutanota.com">tutanota.com</a> )<br> 527 points by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=starsep">starsep</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31351936">5 hours ago</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31351936">345 comments</a><br></li> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.presidentti.fi/tiedote/tasavallan-presidentin-ja-paaministerin-yhteislausunto-suomen-nato-jasenyydesta/">Finland will seek NATO membership immediately</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=presidentti.fi">presidentti.fi</a> )<br> 657 points by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=fsloth">fsloth</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31350216">9 hours ago</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31350216">724 comments</a><br></li> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/chat-control-eu-commission-presents-mass-surveillance-plan-on-may-11%ef%bf%bc/">Chat control: EU Commission presents mass surveillance plan on May 11</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=patrick-breyer.de">patrick-breyer.de</a> )<br> 500 points by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=quantumwannabe">quantumwannabe</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31329368">1 day ago</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31329368">317 comments</a><br></li> </ol> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/traveling/splay/20220512-161309/ Thu, 12 May 2022 16:13:08 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/traveling/splay/20220512-161309/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/12/science/black-hole-photo.html">Out There The Milky Way’s Black Hole Comes to Light The Event Horizon Telescope has once again caught sight of the “unseeable.” By Dennis Overbye</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/twopenny/ultraism/20220512-160331/ Thu, 12 May 2022 16:03:31 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/twopenny/ultraism/20220512-160331/ Feedback<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/events/barcelona/switchboard/20220512-160025/ Thu, 12 May 2022 16:00:24 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/events/barcelona/switchboard/20220512-160025/ <p><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://io.google/2022/program/4e81975b-46a2-4966-98d8-19fb4fb66f78/">What's new in Android Hear the latest news on everything happening in the world of Android development: Android 13, Jetpack, tooling, perfo… Beginner Android Keynote</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://io.google/2022/program/e1fe8007-7338-4e33-814b-ecbfcb706c5e/">What's new in Google Play Discover new features designed to help you optimize acquisition, engagement, and monetization, and build safer apps.

It’s why today <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.google/technology/safety-security/io-safer-with-google/">at I/O we announced</a> new ways we’re reducing the risks of phishing by: scaling phishing protections to Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, continuing to auto enroll people in 2-Step Verification and more. This blog will deep dive into the method of phishing and how it has evolved today. As phishing adoption has grown, multi-factor authentication has become a particular focus for attackers. In some cases, attackers phish SMS codes directly, by following a legitimate "one-time passcode" (triggered by the attacker trying to log into the victim's account) with a spoofed message asking the victim to "reply back with the code you just received.”<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/ewing/undiscernibly/20220511-192743/ Wed, 11 May 2022 19:27:43 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/ewing/undiscernibly/20220511-192743/ <p><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://security.googleblog.com/2022/05/io-2022-android-13-security-and-privacy.html">I/O 2022: Android 13 security and privacy (and more!)</a><br></p> <hr> Posted by Eugene Liderman and Sara N-Marandi, Android Security and Privacy Team<br> Every year at I/O we share the latest on privacy and security features on Android. But we know some users like to go a level deeper in understanding how we’re making the latest release safer, and more private, while continuing to offer a seamless experience. So let’s dig into the tools we’re building to better secure your data, enhance your privacy and increase trust in the apps and experiences on your devices.<br> Low latency, frictionless security<br> Regardless of whether a smartphone is used for consumer or enterprise purposes, attestation is a key underpinning to ensure the integrity of the device and apps running on the device. Fundamentally, key attestation lets a developer bind a secret or designate data to a device. This is a strong assertion: "same user, same device" as long as the key is available, a cryptographic assertion of integrity can be made.<br> With Android 13 we have migrated to a new model for the provisioning of attestation keys to Android devices which is known as Remote Key Provisioning (RKP). This new approach will strengthen device security by eliminating factory provisioning errors and providing key vulnerability recovery by moving to an architecture where Google takes more responsibility in the certificate management lifecycle for these attestation keys.

We now have more than 30 components in Android that can be automatically updated through Google Play, including new modules in Android 13 for Bluetooth and ultra-wideband (UWB).<br> Last year we <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://security.googleblog.com/2021/04/rust-in-android-platform.html">talked about</a> how the majority of vulnerabilities in major operating systems are caused by undefined behavior in programming languages like C/C++. Rust is an alternative language that provides the efficiency and flexibility required in advanced systems programming (OS, networking) but Rust comes with the added boost of memory safety. We are happy to report that Rust is being adopted in security critical parts of Android, such as our key management components and networking stacks.<br> Hardening the platform doesn’t just stop with continual improvements with memory safety and expansion of anti-exploitation techniques. It also includes hardening our API surfaces to provide a more secure experience to our end users.<br> In Android 13 we implemented numerous enhancements to help mitigate potential vulnerabilities that app developers may inadvertently introduce. This includes making <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://developer.android.com/about/versions/13/features#runtime-receivers">runtime receivers safer</a> by allowing developers to specify whether a particular broadcast receiver in their app should be exported and visible to other apps on the device. On top of this, <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://developer.android.com/about/versions/13/behavior-changes-13#intent-filters">intent filters block non-matching intents</a> which further hardens the app and its components.<br> For enterprise customers who need to meet certain security certification requirements, we’ve updated our security logging reporting to add more coverage and consolidate security logs in one location. This is helpful for companies that need to meet standards like Common Criteria and is useful for partners such as management solutions providers who can review all security-related logs in one place.<br> Privacy on your terms<br> Android 13 brings developers more ways to build privacy-centric apps. Apps can now implement a new Photo picker that allows the user to select <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://developer.android.com/about/versions/13/features/photopicker">the exact photos or videos</a> they want to share without having to give another app access to their media library.<br> With Android 13, we’re also reducing the number of apps that require your location to function using the nearby devices permission <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2021/05/android-security-and-privacy-recap.html">introduced last year</a> . For example, you won’t have to <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://developer.android.com/about/versions/13/features/nearby-wifi-devices-permission">turn on location to enable Wi-fi</a> for certain apps and situations. We’ve also <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://developer.android.com/about/versions/13/behavior-changes-13#granular-media-permissions">changed</a> how storage works, requiring developers to ask for separate permissions to access audio, image and video files.<br> Previously, we’ve limited apps from accessing your clipboard in the background and alerted you when an app accessed it. With Android 13, we’re automatically deleting your clipboard history after a short period so apps are blocked from seeing old copied information.<br> In Android 11, we began <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://developer.android.com/about/versions/11/privacy/permissions#auto-reset">automatically resetting permissions</a> for apps you haven’t used for an extended period of time, and have since <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2021/09/making-permissions-auto-reset-available.html">expanded the feature</a> to devices running Android 6 and above. Since then, we’ve automatically reset over 5 billion permissions.<br> In Android 13, app makers can go above and beyond in <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://developer.android.com/about/versions/13/features#developer-downgradable-permissions">removing permissions</a> even more proactively on behalf of their users. Developers will be able to provide even more privacy by reducing the time their apps have access to unneeded permissions.<br> Finally, we know notifications are critical for many apps but are not always of equal importance to users. In Android 13, you’ll have more control over which apps you would like to get alerts from, as new apps on your device are <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://developer.android.com/about/versions/13/changes/notification-permission">required to ask you for permission</a> by default before they can send you notifications.<br> Apps you can trust<br> Most app developers build their apps using a variety of software development kits (SDKs) that bundle in pre-packaged functionality. While SDKs provide amazing functionality, app developers typically have little visibility or control over the SDK code or insight into their performance.<br> We’re working with developers to make their apps more secure with a new <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://goo.gle/play-sdk">Google Play SDK Index</a> that helps them see SDK safety and reliability signals before they build the code into their apps. This ensures we're helping everyone build a more secure and private app ecosystem.<br> Last month, we also started rolling out <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.google/products/google-play/data-safety/">a new Data safety section</a> in Google Play to help you understand how apps plan to collect, share, and protect your data, before you install it. To instill even more trust in Play apps, we're enabling developers to have their apps independently validated against <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://owasp.org/www-project-mobile-security-testing-guide/">OWASP’s MASVS</a> , a globally recognized standard for mobile security.<br> We’re working with a small group of developers and authorized lab partners to evolve the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://appdefensealliance.dev/masa">program</a> . Developers who have completed this independent validation can showcase this on their Data safety section.<br> Additional mobile security and safety<br> Just like our anti-malware protection Google Play, which now scans 125 billion apps a day, we believe spam and phishing detection should be built in. We’re proud to announce that in a recent <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://omdia.tech.informa.com/commissioned-research/articles/omdia-consumer-mobile-security-scorecard">analyst report</a> , Messages was the highest rated built-in messaging app for anti-phishing and scams protection.<br> Messages is now also helping to protect you against 1.5 billion spam messages per month, so you can avoid both annoying texts and attempts to access your data. These phishing attempts are increasingly how bad actors are trying to get your information, by getting you to click on a link or download an app, so we are always looking for ways to offer another line of defense.<br> Last year, we introduced <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.android.com/google-features-on-android/summer-2021/#summer-2021-end-to-end-contents">end-to-end encryption in Messages</a> to provide more security for your mobile conversations. Later this year, we’ll launch end-to-end encryption group conversations in beta to ensure your personal messages get even more protection.<br> As with a lot of features we build, we try to do it in an open and transparent way. In Android 11 we announced a new <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://security.googleblog.com/2020/10/privacy-preserving-features-in-mobile.html">platform feature</a> that was backed by an <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.iso.org/standard/69084.html">ISO standard</a> to enable the use of digital IDs on a smartphone in a privacy-preserving way. When you hand over your plastic license (or other credential) to someone for verification it’s all or nothing which means they have access to your full name, date of birth, address, and other personally identifiable information (PII). The mobile version of this allows for much more fine-grained control where the end user and/or app can select exactly what to share with the verifier. In addition, the verifier must declare whether they intend to retain the data returned. In addition, you can present certain details of your credentials, such as age, without revealing your identity.<br> Over the last two Android releases we have been improving this API and making it easier for third-party organizations to leverage it for various digital identity use cases, such as driver’s licenses, student IDs, or corporate badges. We’re now announcing that Google Wallet uses Android <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://source.android.com/security/features/identity-credentials">Identity Credential</a> to support digital IDs and driver’s licenses. We’re working with states in the US and governments around the world to bring digital IDs to Wallet later this year. You can learn more about all of the new enhancements in Google Wallet <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.google/products/android/ask-a-techspert-google-wallet">here</a> .<br> Protected by Android<br> We don’t think your security and privacy should be hard to understand and control. Later this year, we’ll begin rolling out a new destination in settings on Android 13 devices that puts all your device security and data privacy front and center.<br> The new Security & Privacy settings page will give you a simple, color-coded way to understand your safety status and will offer clear and actionable guidance to improve it. The page will be anchored by new action cards that notify you of critical steps you should take to address any safety risks. In addition to notifications to warn you about issues, we’ll also provide timely recommendations on how to enhance your privacy.<br> We know that to feel safe and in control of your data, you need to have a secure foundation you can count on. Because if your device isn’t secure, it’s not private either. We’re working hard to make sure you’re always protected by Android.

This month’s patch batch includes fixes for seven “critical” flaws, as well as a zero-day vulnerability that affects all supported versions of Windows.<br> By all accounts, the most urgent bug Microsoft addressed this month is <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2022-26925">CVE-2022-26925</a> , a weakness in a central component of Windows security (the “ Local Security Authority ” process within Windows). CVE-2022-26925 was publicly disclosed prior to today, and Microsoft says it is now actively being exploited in the wild. The flaw affects Windows 7 through 10 and Windows Server 2008 through 2022.<br> Greg Wiseman , product manager for Rapid7 , said Microsoft has rated this vulnerability as important and assigned it a CVSS (danger) score of 8.1 (10 being the worst), although Microsoft notes that the CVSS score can be as high as 9.8 in certain situations.<br> “This allows attackers to perform a man-in-the-middle attack to force domain controllers to authenticate to the attacker using NTLM authentication,” Wiseman said. “This is very bad news when used in conjunction with an NTLM relay attack, potentially leading to remote code execution. This bug affects all supported versions of Windows, but Domain Controllers should be patched on a priority basis before updating other servers.”<br> Wiseman said the most recent time Microsoft patched a similar vulnerability — last August in <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-36942">CVE-2021-36942</a> — it was also being exploited in the wild under the name “ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/topic/kb5005413-mitigating-ntlm-relay-attacks-on-active-directory-certificate-services-ad-cs-3612b773-4043-4aa9-b23d-b87910cd3429">PetitPotam</a> .”<br> “CVE-2021-36942 was so bad it made CISA’s <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog">catalog of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities</a> ,” Wiseman said. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/05/microsoft-patch-tuesday-may-2022-edition/#more-59789">Continue reading →</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/news/spearheading/harden/20220511-181327/ Wed, 11 May 2022 18:13:27 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/news/spearheading/harden/20220511-181327/ The increasing risk that the Supreme Court will overturn federal constitutional abortion protections has refocused attention on the role digital service providers of all kinds play in facilitating access to health information, education, and care—and the data they collect in return.In a post-Roe world, service providers can expect a raft…<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/con/recoin/forthwith/20220511-181128/ Wed, 11 May 2022 18:11:27 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/con/recoin/forthwith/20220511-181128/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.meetup.com/githublatam/events/285701217/">GitHub Presente con Lizz Parody & Bezael Pérez</a><br></p> <hr> Este mes tenemos temas del sindrome de impostor y como impulsar tu carrera en tech trabajando en USA<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/seer/hemisphere/20220511-180719/ Wed, 11 May 2022 18:07:19 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/seer/hemisphere/20220511-180719/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-01253-6">The $93-billion plan to put astronauts back on the Moon</a><br></p> <hr> The world’s most powerful rocket will make a trip around the Moon in 2022 — a step towards landing people there in 2025, and part of the US Artemis programme.<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/lang/fuggy/germany/20220511-180607/ Wed, 11 May 2022 18:06:07 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/lang/fuggy/germany/20220511-180607/ May 5, 2022 <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blogs.oracle.com/java/post/jms-4-news">What’s New in Java Management Service</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/ewing/undiscernibly/20220511-180603/ Wed, 11 May 2022 18:06:03 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/ewing/undiscernibly/20220511-180603/ <p><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://security.googleblog.com/2022/05/taking-on-next-generation-of-phishing.html">Taking on the Next Generation of Phishing Scams</a><br></p> <hr> Posted by Daniel Margolis, Senior Software Engineer, Google Account Security Team Every year, security technologies improve: <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.google.com/chrome/security/">browsers get better</a> , <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://transparencyreport.google.com/https/overview?hl=en">encryption becomes ubiquitous on the Web</a> , authentication becomes stronger. But phishing persistently remains a threat (as shown by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.techrepublic.com/article/phishing-attack-spoofs-us-department-of-labor-to-steal-account-credentials/">a recent phishing attack on the U.S. Department of Labor</a> ) because users retain the ability to log into their online accounts, often with a simple password, from anywhere in the world. It’s why today <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.google/technology/safety-security/io-safer-with-google/">at I/O we announced</a> new ways we’re reducing the risks of phishing by: scaling phishing protections to Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, continuing to auto enroll people in 2-Step Verification and more. This blog will deep dive into the method of phishing and how it has evolved today. As phishing adoption has grown, multi-factor authentication has become a particular focus for attackers. In some cases, attackers phish SMS codes directly, by following a legitimate "one-time passcode" (triggered by the attacker trying to log into the victim's account) with a spoofed message asking the victim to "reply back with the code you just received.”<br> Left: legitimate Google SMS verification. Right: spoofed message asking victim to share verification code.<br> In other cases, attackers have leveraged more sophisticated dynamic phishing pages to conduct relay attacks. In these attacks, a user thinks they're logging into the intended site, just as in a standard phishing attack. But instead of deploying a simple static phishing page that saves the victim's email and password when the victim tries to login, the phisher has deployed a web service that logs into the actual website at the same time the user is falling for the phishing page. The simplest approach is an almost off-the-shelf "reverse proxy" which acts as a "person in the middle", forwarding the victim's inputs to the legitimate page and sending the response from the legitimate page back to the victim's browser.<br> These attacks are especially challenging to prevent because additional authentication challenges shown to the attacker—like a prompt for an SMS code—are also relayed to the victim, and the victim's response is in turn relayed back to the real website. In this way, the attacker can count on their victim to solve any authentication challenge presented. Traditional multi-factor authentication with PIN codes can only do so much against these attacks, and authentication with smartphone approvals via a prompt — while more secure against SIM-swap attacks — is still vulnerable to this sort of real-time interception.<br> The Solution Space Over the past year, we've <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.google/technology/safety-security/making-sign-safer-and-more-convenient/">started to automatically enable device-based two-factor authentication</a> for our users. This authentication not only helps protect against traditional password compromise but, with technology improvements, we can also use it to help defend against these more sophisticated forms of phishing. Taking a broad view, most efforts to protect and defend against phishing fall into the following categories:<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://dev.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/enamel">Browser UI improvements</a> to help users identify authentic websites.<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6208650?hl=en">Password managers</a> that can validate the identity of the web page before logging in.<br> Phishing detection, both in <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://safety.google/gmail/">email</a> —the most common delivery channel—and in the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://safebrowsing.google.com/">browser</a> itself, to warn users about suspicious web pages.<br> Preventing the person-in-the-middle attacks mentioned above by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://security.googleblog.com/2019/04/better-protection-against-man-in-middle.html">preventing automated login attempts</a> .<br> Phishing-resistant authentication using <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://fidoalliance.org/how-fido-works/">FIDO</a> with security keys or a Bluetooth connection to your phone.<br> Hardening the Google Prompt challenge to help users identify suspicious sign-in attempts, or to ask them to take additional steps that can defeat phishing (like navigating to a new web address, or to join the same wireless network as the computer they're logging into).<br> Expanding phishing-resistant authentication to more users Over the last decade we’ve been working hard with a number of industry partners on expanding phishing-resistant authentication mechanisms, as part of <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://fidoalliance.org/">FIDO Alliance</a> . Through these efforts we introduced physical FIDO security keys, such as the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://store.google.com/product/titan_security_key">Titan Security Key</a> , which prevent phishing by verifying the identity of the website you're logging into. (This verification protects against the "person-in-the-middle" phishing described above.) Recently, we <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.google/technology/safety-security/one-step-closer-to-a-passwordless-future/">announced</a> a major milestone with the FIDO Alliance, Apple and Microsoft by expanding our support for the FIDO Sign-in standards, helping to launch us into a truly passwordless, phishing-resistant future. Even though security keys work great, we don't expect everyone to add one to their keyring.<br> Instead, to make this level of security more accessible, we're building it into mobile phones. Unlike physical FIDO security keys that need to be connected to your device via USB, we use Bluetooth to ensure your phone is close to the device you're logging into. Like physical security keys, this helps prevent a distant attacker from tricking you into approving a sign-in on their browser, giving us an added layer of security against the kind of "person in the middle" attacks that can still work against SMS or Google Prompt. ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.google/technology/safety-security/security-myth-busting-and-spring-cleaning/">But don't worry</a> : this doesn't allow computers within Bluetooth range to login as you—it only grants that approval to the computer you're logging into. And we only use this to verify that your phone is near the device you're logging into, so you only need to have Bluetooth on during login.) Over the next couple of months we’ll be rolling out this technology in more places, which you might notice as a request for you to enable Bluetooth while logging in, so we can perform this additional security check. If you've signed into your Google account on your Android phone, we can enroll your phone automatically—just like with Google Prompt—allowing us to give this added layer of security to many of our users without the need for any additional setup. But unfortunately this secure login doesn't work everywhere—for example, when logging into a computer that doesn't support Bluetooth, or a browser that doesn't support security keys. That's why, if we are to offer phishing-resistant security to everyone, we have to offer backups when security keys aren't available—and those backups must also be secure enough to prevent attackers from taking advantage of them.<br> Hardening existing challenges against phishin g Over the past few months, we've started experimenting with making our traditional Google Prompt challenges more phishing resistant. We already use different challenge experiences depending on the situation—for example, sometimes we ask the user to match a PIN code with what they're seeing on the screen in addition to clicking "allow" or "deny". This can help prevent static phishing pages from tricking you into approving a challenge. We've also begun experimenting with more involved challenges for higher-risk situations, including more prominent warnings when we see you logging in from a computer that we think might belong to a phisher, or asking you to join your phone to the same Wi-Fi network as the computer you're logging into so we can be sure the two are near each other. Similar to our use of Bluetooth for Security Keys, this prevents an attacker from tricking you into logging into a "person-in-the-middle" phishing page.<br> Bringing it all together<br> Of course, while all of these options dramatically increase account security, we also know that they can be a challenge for some of our users, which is why we're rolling them out gradually, as part of a risk-based approach that also focuses on usability. If we think an account is at a higher risk, or if we see abnormal behavior, we're more likely to use these additional security measures. Over time, as FIDO2 authentication becomes more widely available, we expect to be able to make it the default for many of our users, and to rely on stronger versions of our existing challenges like those described above to provide secure fallbacks. All these new tools in our toolbox—detecting browser automation to prevent "person in the middle" attacks, warning users in Chrome and Gmail, making the Google Prompt more secure, and automatically enabling Android phones as easy-to-use Security Keys—work together to allow us to better protect our users against phishing. Phishing attacks have long been seen as a persistent threat, but these recent developments give us the ability to really move the needle and help more of our users stay safer online.<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/playacted/rededication/20220511-180418/ Wed, 11 May 2022 18:04:17 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/playacted/rededication/20220511-180418/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/10/technology/elon-musk-donald-trump-twitter-ban.html">Elon Musk says he would ‘reverse the permanent ban’ of Donald Trump on Twitter.

The ASP is an isolated core in AMD EPYC CPUs that adds a root of trust and controls secure system initialization. As it's a generic processor AMD can add additional security features to the firmware, but like with all complex systems it's possible these features might have security issues which could compromise the security of everything under the ASP's management.<br> The security review undertaken was on the implementation of the ASP on the 3rd Gen AMD EPYC CPUs (codenamed "Milan"). One feature of the ASP of interest to Google is <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.amd.com/en/processors/amd-secure-encrypted-virtualization">Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV)</a> . SEV adds encryption to the memory used by virtual machines running on the CPU. This feature is of importance to <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://cloud.google.com/confidential-computing">Confidential Computing</a> as it provides protection of customer cloud data in use, not just at rest or when sending data across a network.<br> A particular emphasis of the review was on the Secure Nested Paging (SNP) extension to SEV added to "Milan". SNP aims to further improve the security of confidential computing by adding integrity protection and mitigations for numerous side-channel attacks. The review was undertaken with full cooperation with AMD. The team was granted access to source code for the ASP, and production samples to test hardware attacks.<br> The review discovered 19 issues which have been fixed by AMD in public security bulletins. These issues ranged from incorrect use of cryptography to memory corruption in the context of the ASP firmware. The report describes some of the more interesting issues that were uncovered during the review as well as providing a background on the ASP and the process the team took to find security issues.

https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/ideo/fleury/20220507-201513/ Apple , Google and Microsoft announced this week they will soon support an approach to authentication that avoids passwords altogether, and instead requires users to merely unlock their smartphones to sign in to websites or online services. Experts say the changes should help defeat many types of phishing attacks and ease the overall password burden on Internet users, but caution that a true passwordless future may still be years away for most websites.<br> Image: Blog.google<br> The tech giants are part of an industry-led effort to replace passwords, which are easily forgotten, frequently stolen by malware and phishing schemes, or leaked and sold online in the wake of corporate data breaches.<br> Apple, Google and Microsoft are some of the more active contributors to a passwordless sign-in standard crafted by the FIDO (“Fast Identity Online”) Alliance and the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web_Consortium">World Wide Web Consortium</a> (W3C), groups that have been working with hundreds of tech companies over the past decade to develop a new login standard that works the same way across multiple browsers and operating systems.<br> According to the FIDO Alliance, users will be able to sign in to websites through the same action that they take multiple times each day to unlock their devices — including a device PIN, or a biometric such as a fingerprint or face scan.<br> “This new approach protects against phishing and sign-in will be radically more secure when compared to passwords and legacy multi-factor technologies such as one-time passcodes sent over SMS,” the alliance wrote on May 5.<br> Sampath Srinivas , director of security authentication at Google and president of the FIDO Alliance, said that under the new system your phone will store a FIDO credential called a “passkey” which is used to unlock your online account.<br> “The passkey makes signing in far more secure, as it’s based on public key cryptography and is only shown to your online account when you unlock your phone,” Srinivas wrote. “To sign into a website on your computer, you’ll just need your phone nearby and you’ll simply be prompted to unlock it for access. Once you’ve done this, you won’t need your phone again and you can sign in by just unlocking your computer.”<br> As ZDNet <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/google-apple-microsoft-make-a-new-commitment-for-a-passwordless-future/">notes</a> , Apple, Google and Microsoft already support these passwordless standards (e.g. “Sign in with Google”), but users need to sign in at every website to use the passwordless functionality. Under this new system, users will be able to automatically access their passkey on many of their devices — without having to re-enroll every account — and use their mobile device to sign into an app or website on a nearby device.<br> Johannes Ullrich , dean of research for the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.sans.org">SANS Technology Institute</a> , called the announcement “by far the most promising effort to solve the authentication challenge.”<br> “The most important part of this standard is that it will not require users to buy a new device, but instead they may use devices they already own and know how to use as authenticators,” Ullrich said.<br> Steve Bellovin , a computer science professor at Columbia University and an early internet <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb/">researcher and pioneer</a> , called the passwordless effort a “huge advance” in authentication, but said it will take a very long time for many websites to catch up.<br> Bellovin and others say one potentially tricky scenario in this new passwordless authentication scheme is what happens when someone loses their mobile device, or their phone breaks and they can’t recall their iCloud password.<br> “I worry about people who can’t afford an extra device, or can’t easily replace a broken or stolen device,” Bellovin said. “I worry about forgotten password recovery for cloud accounts.” <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/05/your-phone-may-soon-replace-many-of-your-passwords/#more-59727">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/05/your-phone-may-soon-replace-many-of-your-passwords/">Your Phone May Soon Replace Many of Your Passwords</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/uprousing/bayed/20220507-160922/ Sat, 07 May 2022 16:09:21 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/uprousing/bayed/20220507-160922/ Notice that a jewel has a small basin in it.

That oil sticks to the jewel and a shaft that rotates inside it to further decrease the friction, which lets the watch run longer on a single wind, while also reducing wear on the delicate mechanical parts.<br> As long as the arbor is held, the mainspring can power the rest of the watch – you can see the rotation of the second hand attached to the fourth wheel on the other side of the watch. However, as we let the arbor go the mainspring finds an easy way to release its tension by just turning the arbor back – the spring quickly losses all its stored energy and the watch stops.<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/tussled/saved/20220507-160617/ Sat, 07 May 2022 16:06:17 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/tussled/saved/20220507-160617/ <p><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/leighmcculloch">Leigh McCulloch</a><br></p> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/leighmcculloch">leighmcculloch</a><br> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/leighmcculloch/vagrant-docker-compose">vagrant-docker-compose</a><br> <hr> A Vagrant provisioner for docker compose.<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/dsnet">Joe Tsai</a><br> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/dsnet">dsnet</a><br> <hr> Simplified error handling in Go<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/andyzhangx">Andy Zhang</a><br> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/andyzhangx">andyzhangx</a><br> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/andyzhangx/demo">demo</a><br> <hr> examples, best practices for k8s volumes on azure, AKS, acs-engine, helm, etc.<br> my dotfiles, managed by Nix<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/abidlabs">Abubakar Abid</a><br> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/abidlabs">abidlabs</a><br> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/abidlabs/contrastive">contrastive</a><br> <hr> Contrastive PCA<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/sandersn">Nathan Shively-Sanders</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/news/spearheading/harden/20220507-122851/ Sat, 07 May 2022 12:28:50 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/news/spearheading/harden/20220507-122851/ Stephanie Singer and Sheila Golden have been focused on voting systems for many years and have analyzed ways to ensure election integrity.

This is why gears in the gear train have holes in them – it reduces their moment of inertia so that the barrel can accelerate them more quickly.<br> The teal components can freely slide on the hairspring , but they reduce or increase its effective length as they prevent the tail section of the hairspring from oscillating freely. By adjusting position of these teal components we can modify the duration of a single beat and make the watch run slightly faster or slower. That speed regulation can also be fine-tuned using the screw in the top part – its head is not centered, so when turned it will gently rotate the little teal fork .<br> Personally, I think this entire mechanism known as the keyless works is a real mechanical marvel. The intricate interactions are so well balanced and each part serves many different roles. Older pocket watches were wound by a separate key, with the crown being used only to set the time, but modern watches get away with not having a winding key, which explains the keyless name. With just a few carefully shaped pieces and a single crown, we can control various settings of the watch. Before we move on, let’s secure the remaining pieces with the minute train bridge :<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/gonadal/revving/20220506-041248/ Fri, 06 May 2022 04:12:48 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/gonadal/revving/20220506-041248/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://byorgey.wordpress.com/2019/02/24/whats-the-right-way-to-quickcheck-floating-point-routines/">What’s the right way to QuickCheck floating-point routines?</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220506-002312/ Fri, 06 May 2022 00:23:10 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220506-002312/ <ol> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://support.google.com/docs/thread/162510194/including-and-and-and-and-and-in-a-google-doc-causes-it-to-crash?hl=en">Including “And.

Each tooth in one gear meets with a space between teeth in the other gear, so within a unit of time both gears rotate by the same number of teeth. If the number of teeth in two gears is different, those gears can take a different amount of time to complete a single rotation. In the demonstration below, you can change the ratio of the number of teeth between the driving red gear and the driven yellow gear to see how it affects the speed of rotation of that yellow gear :<br> We’ll start with the mainplate , which forms the main body of the movement:<br> This mechanism protects the fragile tips of the balance shaft from breaking when the watch experiences a sudden jerk. Let’s see how these pieces act together when the balance shaft is jolted around:<br> Personally, I think this entire mechanism known as the keyless works is a real mechanical marvel. The intricate interactions are so well balanced and each part serves many different roles. Older pocket watches were wound by a separate key, with the crown being used only to set the time, but modern watches get away without having a winding key, which explains the keyless name. With just a few carefully shaped pieces and a single crown, we can control various settings of the watch. Before we move on, let’s secure the remaining pieces with the minute train bridge :<br> Notice that I’m highlighting a pair of yellow and blue gears only when they’re actively transferring power directly from the weight gear to the output gear .

Here’s the current state of play. Some things have changed since DC29. The US has largely stopped checking vaccine status for entry to indoor events, owing at least partly to the knowledge that the vaccines serve more to prevent severe disease than to curtail transmission. COVID-19 testing is now mostly done privately with widely available at-home kits. But most things haven’t changed. There are still new variants on the move. There are still spikes in transmission and hospitalization. Masks are still the most effective way to protect people in indoor events. Barring a major change in the situation, we will not check proof of vaccination, but we will keep last year's mask requirement in place for DEF CON 30. Protecting the community is our first priority, and we want to make sure that everyone is as safe as we can make them. Everyone includes the healthy, the vulnerable and those who have immune compromised loved ones they need to protect. Thank you for all you did to protect each other last year, and with your help we’ll do it again this year.<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/news/spearheading/harden/20220505-000825/ Thu, 05 May 2022 00:08:25 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/news/spearheading/harden/20220505-000825/ Legislation deputizing people to find, sue, and collect damages from anyone who tries to help people seeking abortion care creates serious digital privacy and security risks for those involved in abortion access.

Unlike their quartz and smart siblings, mechanical watches can run without using any batteries or other electronic components.<br> Over the course of this article I’ll explain the workings of the mechanism seen in the demonstration below. You can drag the device around to change your viewing angle, and you can use the slider to peek at what’s going on inside:<br> Loading...<br> What you see here is known as the movement – the inner part of a mechanical watch that’s usually enclosed in a metal case. In this article I’m focusing on a watch movement itself, since beautiful watch cases merely hide the intricate mechanisms which are the real stars of the show.<br> The entire watch movement has a lot of parts, and in this blog post I’ll explain the purpose of each one. The world of watchmaking is jargon-heavy, so many of the components may have unfamiliar names, but you shouldn’t feel pressured to remember them – the names and parts will be color-coded for easy reference.<br> In a functioning watch many parts are in constant motion. By default all animations in this article are enabled, but if you find them distracting, or if you want to save power, you can <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://ciechanow.ski/">globally pause</a> all the following demonstrations.<br> While the entire watch movement has many parts, the timekeeping system, which forms the core function of any watch, consists of just seven major elements which we can lay out in a straight line:<br> It may not look like much, but these parts still have a lot of interesting details about them that contribute to the second hand rotating at a correct pace. We’ll start exploring these details by focusing on the source of power for this entire contraption.<br> Power<br> Purely mechanical devices have a few different ways to power themselves, but one of the simplest methods to store energy is to use a spring. Most springs we see in daily life are coil springs. In the demonstration below, you can move the mass attached to this type of spring to see it bounce:<br> When a spring like this is compressed, it stores some energy that is then released when the compressing tension is removed. Mechanical watches typically use a different kind of spring – a spiral torsion spring. This type of spring is loaded when it’s twisted. When let go, the spring unwinds in the opposite direction to eventually settle in its natural state:<br> In a mechanical watch, we ultimately want to show rotating hands, so a spinning motion that a torsion spring provides is particularly useful. A spring in a typical mechanical watch has a slightly more complicated shape – you can see it below in its relaxed state. By dragging the slider you can try to wind it midair, but as soon as you let go, it will snap back to its original shape:<br> As you can see, this spring is quite strong and it wants to expand very rapidly. To contain the spring we have to put it in a casing known as a barrel :<br> Once in the barrel , the spring still wants to expand to its original state, but the barrel’s wall keep it in place. This spring is the storage of energy for the watch and its name, the mainspring , reflects its importance.<br> Unfortunately, we can’t really get any useful work from the mainspring in this state – it has already expanded to the largest possible size. To store more energy in it we need to wind it tightly using the arbor that we’ll first attach on the inner side of the mainspring :<br> If you look closely, the mainspring has a little hole near its end – you can see it in the center of the demonstration. The arbor has a little hook that grabs onto that hole:<br> When the arbor is turned, it pulls the mainspring with it, causing it to wind. In the demonstration below, we’re holding the barrel tight, and you can turn the arbor by dragging the slider:<br> Notice that as soon as you let go of the arbor by releasing the slider, the mainspring will turn the arbor right back. This is less than desired – we want the barrel to turn instead, so that it can power the other parts of the watch. To get some useful work from the mainspring , we’ll have to keep holding on to the arbor and instead let the barrel go when we want to use the stored energy:<br> We’ll soon see how this is accomplished in practice, but for now we’ll assume that the arbor is held tight and the mainspring ends up rotating the barrel , just like in the demonstration above. Before we finish up with the mainspring and the barrel , let’s discuss two other details that make this mechanism more reliable. Let me bring up the relaxed spring one more time:<br> The metal strip attached to the mainspring provides additional tension to its outer part. That metal strip really wants to snap back to its straight shape, so it pushes against the wall of the barrel , creating a lot of friction that keeps the mainspring in place:<br> This locks the outer end of the mainspring when the arbor moves the inner. If we were to keep winding the spring past its maximum capacity, we’d overpower that friction letting the mainspring slip inside – this acts as a safety mechanism to prevent the parts from breaking.<br> As we’ve seen, in its relaxed state, the mainspring forms an S-shape with varied curvature throughout. This helps to balance the tension in mainspring’s different sections when it is inside the barrel . Notice that the inner sections of the wound spring have a much smaller radius than the outer parts. If the relaxed spring was just a straight piece of metal, then after winding, the inner parts would be bent much more than the outer parts. With the S-shaped spring the outer sections of the spring are also under a similar tension because they want to get back to their curve that is bent in the opposite direction.<br> To secure the mainspring and prevent dust from getting in we close the barrel with a lid that snaps into its place:<br> We’ve managed to make some parts rotate and one could naively think that we could just attach a watch hand to the barrel to make it track time. Unfortunately, that won’t really work – you can witness this in the demonstration below. You can see how this “watch” behaves after you wind the mainspring with the slider and let it go:<br> We clearly have some work to do – the hand spins way too fast and it only does a few rotations before the mainspring inside the barrel runs out of the stored energy. Clearly, this contraption won’t let us track time in any reliable way.<br> If we wanted our watch to run continuously for around 40 hours on a single wind, we’d need the minute hand to complete 40 rotations in that time. Moreover, the second hand should cover around 40 × 60 = 2400 complete rotations in that time. We need to find a way to convert a small number of revolutions of the barrel into a large number of revolutions of the hands. This is where gears come in.<br> Gears<br> I’ve <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://ciechanow.ski/gears/">talked about gears</a> on this blog before, so let me just recap things very briefly. Gears can be used to change the speed of rotation between two different axes. In the demonstration below, you can witness that by observing little dots I put on each gear – the yellow gear , which is powered by the bigger red gear , takes much less time to finish a single revolution:<br> An important aspect of two matching gears it their number of teeth. Each tooth in one gear meets with a space between teeth in the other gear, so within a unit of time both gears rotate by the same number of teeth. If the number of teeth in two gears is different, those gears can take a different amount of time to complete a single rotation. In the demonstration below, you can change the ratio of the number of teeth between the driving red gear and the driven yellow gear to see how it affects the speed of rotation of that yellow gear :<br> 1:2<br> These gears are intended to work with each other so the ratio of teeth is equivalent to the ratio of the gear radii. When the driving gear has <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://ciechanow.ski/">more teeth</a> than the driven gear , the driven gear makes more rotations than the driving gear . We can use this behavior to make the second hand of a watch rotate many times on a single rotation of the barrel.<br> Let’s consider how much of a speed increase we have to do here. The barrel can rotate close to 7 times on a single wind, but we want the second hand to complete around 2400 revolutions in the same time. We need the ratio of teeth, or the ratio of radii, to be around 343:1. Let’s see how that would look in practice. In the demonstration below, you can use the slider to look at the two gears from further away:<br> As you can see, these proportions are ridiculous – to make the red gear fit in any reasonably sized watch, the yellow gear would have to be absolutely tiny and both gears would have to have very fragile, microscopic teeth.<br> Instead, mechanical watches use a train of gears with multiple gears working in pairs – each pair increases the speed to some extent. In the demonstration below, you can see the four wheels participating in this reduction. Notice that there are two gears on most axes of rotation. You can control the speed of rotation of this gear train using the slider:<br> The barrel acts as the first wheel , it drives the second wheel , which drives the third wheel , which finally drives the fourth wheel . Notice that each big gear drives a smaller gear called a pinion . A pinion is mounted on the same shaft as the next big gear so we’re able to keep increasing the speed on each axis. This approach has significant advantages – we’re able to make the overall mechanism much smaller and we’ll soon use one of the intermediate wheels that rotates at a slower rate to drive minute and hour hands.<br> Before we finish up with gears, let me quickly mention the shape of their teeth. While many bigger machines use an <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://ciechanow.ski/gears/#strings-attached">involute shape</a> for the profile of their gear teeth, mechanical watches commonly use cycloidal profiles which are obtained by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.tec-science.com/mechanical-power-transmission/cycloidal-gear/geometry-of-cycloidal-gears/">rolling a circle on the surface of another circle</a> .<br> Let’s see how … https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/tussled/saved/20220504-160657/ Wed, 04 May 2022 16:06:57 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/tussled/saved/20220504-160657/ <p><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/the-mikedavis">the-mikedavis</a><br></p> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/the-mikedavis/tree-sitter-git-commit">tree-sitter-git-commit</a><br> <hr> A tree-sitter grammar for git commit messages<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/news/denominate/telecast/20220504-122307/ Wed, 04 May 2022 12:23:07 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/news/denominate/telecast/20220504-122307/ Start the day here <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/04/us/five-things-may-4-trnd/index.html">Chief Justice Roberts orders investigation into Roe v.

The move comes just months after Google rolled out a new policy enabling people under the age of 18 (or a parent/guardian) to request removal of their images from Google search results.<br> Google has for years accepted requests to remove certain sensitive data such as bank account or credit card numbers from search results. In <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.google/products/search/new-options-for-removing-your-personally-identifiable-information-from-search/">a blog post on Wednesday</a> , Google’s Michelle Chang wrote that the company’s expanded policy now allows for the removal of additional information that may pose a risk for identity theft, such as confidential log-in credentials, email addresses and phone numbers when it appears in Search results.<br> “When we receive removal requests, we will evaluate all content on the web page to ensure that we’re not limiting the availability of other information that is broadly useful, for instance in news articles,” Chang wrote. “We’ll also evaluate if the content appears as part of the public record on the sites of government or official sources. In such cases, we won’t make removals.”<br> While Google’s removal of a search result from its index will do nothing to remove the offending content from the site that is hosting it, getting a link decoupled from Google search results is going to make the content at that link far less visible. According to recent estimates, Google enjoys somewhere near 90 percent market share in search engine usage.<br> KrebsOnSecurity decided to test this expanded policy with what would appear to be a no-brainer request: I asked Google to remove search result for <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/?s=briansclub">BriansClub</a> , one of the largest (if not THE largest) cybercrime stores for selling stolen payment card data.<br> BriansClub has long abused my name and likeness to pimp its wares on the hacking forums.

Unlike mobile app stores that can scan for and reject malicious contributions, package repositories have limited resources to review the thousands of daily updates and must maintain an open model where anyone can freely contribute. As a result, malicious packages like <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-pjwm-rvh2-c87w">ua-parser-js</a> , and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://snyk.io/blog/peacenotwar-malicious-npm-node-ipc-package-vulnerability/">node-ipc</a> are regularly uploaded to popular repositories despite their best efforts, with sometimes devastating consequences for users. Google, a member of the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://openssf.org/">Open Source Security Foundation</a> (OpenSSF), is proud to support the OpenSSF’s <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://openssf.org/blog/2022/04/28/introducing-package-analysis-scanning-open-source-packages-for-malicious-behavior">Package Analysis project,</a> which is a welcome step toward helping secure the open source packages we all depend on. The Package Analysis program performs dynamic analysis of all packages uploaded to popular open source repositories and catalogs the results in a BigQuery table. By detecting malicious activities and alerting consumers to suspicious behavior before they select packages, this program contributes to a more secure software supply chain and greater trust in open source software. The program also gives insight into the types of malicious packages that are most common at any given time, which can guide decisions about how to better protect the ecosystem. To better understand how the Package Analysis program is contributing to supply chain security, we analyzed the nearly 200 malicious packages it captured over a one-month period. Here’s what we discovered:<br> Results<br> All signals collected are published in our <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://console.cloud.google.com/bigquery?d=packages&p=ossf-malware-analysis&t=analysis&page=table">BigQuery table</a> . Using simple queries on this table, we found around 200 meaningful results from the packages uploaded to NPM and PyPI in a period of just over a month. Here are some notable examples, with <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/ossf/package-analysis/blob/main/docs/case_studies.md">more available in the repository</a> .<br> PyPI: discordcmd<br> This Python package will attack the desktop client for Discord on Windows. It was found by spotting the unusual requests to raw.githubusercontent.com, Discord API, and ipinfo.io. First, it downloaded a backdoor from GitHub and installed it into the Discord electron client.<br> Next, it looked through various local databases for the user's Discord token.<br> Finally, it grabbed the data associated with the token from the Discord API and exfiltrated it back to a Discord server controlled by the attacker.<br> NPM: @roku-web-core/ajax<br> During install, this NPM package exfiltrates details of the machine it is running on and then opens a reverse shell, allowing the remote execution of commands.<br> This package was discovered from its requests to an attacker-controlled address.<br> Dependency Confusion / Typosquatting<br> The vast majority of the malicious packages we detected are dependency confusion and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.darkreading.com/vulnerabilities-threats/beware-the-package-typosquatting-supply-chain-attack">typosquatting attacks</a> . The packages we found usually contain a simple script that runs during an install and calls home with a few details about the host. These packages are most likely the work of security researchers looking for bug bounties, since most are not exfiltrating meaningful data except the name of the machine or a username, and they make no attempt to disguise their behavior. These dependency confusion attacks were discovered through the domains they used, such as burpcollaborator.net, pipedream.com, interact.sh, which are commonly used for reporting back attacks. The same domains appear across unrelated packages and have no apparent connection to the packages themselves. Many packages also used unusual version numbers that were high (e.g. v5.0.0, v99.10.9) for a package with no previous versions.<br> Conclusions<br> The short time frame and low sophistication needed for finding the results above underscore the challenge facing open source package repositories. While many of the results above were likely the work of security researchers, any one of these packages could have done far more to hurt the unfortunate victims who installed them. These results show the clear need for more investment in vetting packages being published in order to keep users safe. This is a growing space, and having an open standard for reporting would help centralize analysis results and offer consumers a trusted place to assess the packages they’re considering using. Creating an open standard should also foster healthy competition, promote integration, and raise the overall security of open source packages.<br> Over time we hope that the Package Analysis program will offer comprehensive knowledge about the behavior and capabilities of packages across open source software, and help guide the future efforts needed to make the ecosystem more secure for everyone.

https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/ideo/fleury/20220427-201527/ When KrebsOnSecurity recently explored how cybercriminals were using <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/03/hackers-gaining-power-of-subpoena-via-fake-emergency-data-requests/">hacked email accounts at police departments worldwide</a> to obtain warrantless Emergency Data Requests (EDRs) from social media firms and technology providers, many security experts called it a fundamentally unfixable problem. But don’t tell that to Matt Donahue , a former FBI agent who recently quit the agency to launch a startup that aims to help tech companies do a better job screening out phony law enforcement data requests — in part by assigning trustworthiness or “credit ratings” to law enforcement authorities worldwide.<br> A sample Kodex dashboard. Image: Kodex.us.<br> Donahue is co-founder of <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.kodex.us/">Kodex</a> , a company formed in February 2021 that builds security portals designed to help tech companies “manage information requests from government agencies who contact them, and to securely transfer data & collaborate against abuses on their platform.”<br> The 30-year-old Donahue said he left the FBI in April 2020 to start Kodex because it was clear that social media and technology companies needed help validating the increasingly large number of law enforcement requests domestically and internationally.<br> “So much of this is such an antiquated, manual process,” Donahue said of his perspective gained at the FBI. “In a lot of cases we’re still sending faxes when more secure and expedient technologies exist.”<br> Donahue said when he brought the subject up with his superiors at the FBI, they would kind of shrug it off, as if to say, “This is how it’s done and there’s no changing it.”<br> “My bosses told me I was committing career suicide doing this, but I genuinely believe fixing this process will do more for national security than a 20-year career at the FBI,” he said. “This is such a bigger problem than people give it credit for, and that’s why I left the bureau to start this company.”<br> One of the stated goals of Kodex is to build a scoring or reputation system for law enforcement personnel who make these data requests. After all, there are tens of thousands of police jurisdictions around the world — including roughly <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_enforcement_in_the_United_States#:~:text=There%20are%2017%2C985%20U.S.%20police,and%20federal%20law%20enforcement%20agencies.">18,000 in the United States alone</a> — and all it takes for hackers to abuse the EDR process is illicit access to a single police email account.<br> Kodex is trying to tackle the problem of fake EDRs by working directly with the data providers to pool information about police or government officials submitting these requests, and hopefully making it easier for all customers to spot an unauthorized EDR.<br> Kodex’s first big client was cryptocurrency giant Coinbase , which confirmed their partnership but otherwise declined to comment for this story. Twilio confirmed it uses Kodex’s technology for law enforcement requests destined for any of its business units, but likewise declined to comment further.<br> Within their own separate Kodex portals, Twilio can’t see requests submitted to Coinbase, or vice versa. But each can see if a law enforcement entity or individual tied to one of their own requests has ever submitted a request to a different Kodex client, and then drill down further into other data about the submitter, such as Internet address(es) used, and the age of the requestor’s email address.<br> Donahue said in Kodex’s system, each law enforcement entity is assigned a credit rating, wherein officials who have a long history of sending valid legal requests will have a higher rating than someone sending an EDR for the first time.<br> “In those cases, we warn the customer with a flash on the request when it pops up that we’re allowing this to come through because the email was verified [as being sent from a valid police or government domain name], but we’re trying to verify the emergency situation for you, and we will change that rating once we get new information about the emergency,” Donahue said.<br> “This way, even if one customer gets a fake request, we’re able to prevent it from happening to someone else,” he continued. “In a lot of cases with fake EDRs, you can see the same email [address] being used to message different companies for data. And that’s the problem: So many companies are operating in their own silos and are not able to share information about what they’re seeing, which is why we’re seeing scammers exploit this good faith process of EDRs.”<br> NEEDLES IN THE HAYSTACK<br> As social media and technology platforms have grown over the years, so have the volumes of requests from law enforcement agencies worldwide for user data. For example, in its <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.verizon.com/about/investors/transparency-report">latest transparency report</a> mobile giant Verizon reported receiving 114,000 data requests of all types from U.S. law enforcement entities in the second half of 2021.<br> Verizon said approximately 35,000 of those requests (~30 percent) were EDRs , and that it provided data in roughly 91 percent of those cases. The company doesn’t disclose how many EDRs came from foreign law enforcement entities during that same time period. Verizon currently asks law enforcement officials to send these requests via fax.<br> Validating legal requests by domain name may be fine for data demands that include documents like subpoenas and search warrants, which can be validated with the courts. But not so for EDRs, which largely bypass any official review and do not require the requestor to submit any court-approved documents .<br> Police and government authorities can legitimately request EDRs to learn the whereabouts or identities of people who have posted online about plans to harm themselves or others, or in other exigent circumstances such as a child abduction or abuse, or a potential terrorist attack.<br> But as KrebsOnSecurity <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/03/hackers-gaining-power-of-subpoena-via-fake-emergency-data-requests/">reported in March</a> , it is now clear that crooks have figured out there is no quick and easy way for a company that receives one of these EDRs to know whether it is legitimate. Using illicit access to hacked police email accounts, the attackers will send a fake EDR along with an attestation that innocent people will likely suffer greatly or die unless the requested data is provided immediately.<br> In this scenario, the receiving company finds itself caught between two unsavory outcomes: Failing to immediately comply with an EDR — and potentially having someone’s blood on their hands — or possibly leaking a customer record to the wrong person. That might explain why the compliance rate for EDRs is usually quite high — often upwards of 90 percent.<br> Fake EDRs have become such a reliable method in the cybercrime underground for obtaining information about account holders that several cybercriminals have started offering services that will submit these fraudulent EDRs on behalf of paying clients to a number of top social media and technology firms. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/04/fighting-fake-edrs-with-credit-ratings-for-police/#more-59232">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/04/fighting-fake-edrs-with-credit-ratings-for-police/">Fighting Fake EDRs With ‘Credit Ratings’ for Police</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/news/nonabsorbent/freaking/20220427-200928/ Wed, 27 Apr 2022 20:09:28 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/news/nonabsorbent/freaking/20220427-200928/ <p><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.npr.org/2022/04/27/1094997608/fauci-us-pandemic-phase-covid-19">Here's why Dr. Fauci says the U.S. is 'out of the pandemic phase'</a><br></p> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.npr.org/2022/04/27/1094997608/fauci-us-pandemic-phase-covid-19">Vaccinations and residual immunity are among the reasons, President Biden's chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci said Tuesday, as the number of deaths drop and hospitalizations rise only slightly.</a><br> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.npr.org/2022/04/12/1092239910/u-s-consular-staff-leave-shanghai">April 12, 2022 • Some residents of Shanghai are able to leave their homes as China's largest city eases a two-week virus shutdown.</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/software/checkpoint/brick/20220427-200912/ Wed, 27 Apr 2022 20:09:11 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/software/checkpoint/brick/20220427-200912/ <p><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://brave.com/gemini-on-android/">Brave and Gemini Expand Partnership to Provide Integrated Custodial Wallet for Brave Rewards on Android</a><br></p> <hr> With the Brave Android app update rolling out today (v1.38), Brave users who opt into Brave Rewards on Android can connect a Gemini account to their browser's Brave Rewards to manage their Basic Attention Tokens (BAT).<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://brave.com/1.38-release/">Brave Version 1.38</a><br> <hr> Today's Brave browser release features privacy enhancements on desktop and Android, plus new Rewards options on Android.<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220427-200457/ Wed, 27 Apr 2022 20:04:56 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220427-200457/ <ol> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/report-90-nurses-considering-leaving-profession-next-year">Report: 90% of nurses considering leaving the profession in the next year</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=healthcareitnews.com">healthcareitnews.com</a> )<br> 696 points by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=dr_pardee">dr_pardee</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31180646">5 hours ago</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31180646">680 comments</a><br></li> </ol> https://www.whatsupup.com/news/spearheading/harden/20220427-200421/ Wed, 27 Apr 2022 20:04:21 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/news/spearheading/harden/20220427-200421/ School digital environments are increasingly locked down, increasingly invasive, and increasingly used for disciplinary action.

Last year we introduced multiple privacy focused features, enhanced our protections against bad apps and developers, and improved <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_development_kit">SDK</a> data safety. In addition, Google Play Protect continues to scan billions of installed apps each day across billions of devices to keep people safe from malware and unwanted software.<br> We continue to enhance our machine learning systems and review processes, and in 2021 we blocked 1.2 million policy violating apps from being published on Google Play, preventing billions of harmful installations. We also continued in our efforts to combat malicious and spammy developers, banning 190k bad accounts in 2021. In addition, we have closed around 500k developer accounts that are inactive or abandoned.<br> In May we <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2021/05/new-safety-section-in-google-play-will.html">announced</a> our new Data safety section for Google Play where developers will be required to give users deeper insight into the privacy and security practices of the apps they download, and provide transparency into the data the app may collect and why. The Data safety section <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.google/products/google-play/data-safety/">launched</a> this week, and developers are required to complete this section for their apps by July 20th.<br> We’ve also invested in making life easier for our developers. We added the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://play.google.com/console/about/policystatus/">Policy and Programs</a> section to Google Play Console to help developers manage all their app compliance issues in one central location. This includes the ability to appeal a decision and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9842754?hl=en">track its status</a> from this page.<br> In addition, we continued to partner with SDK developers to improve app safety, limit how user data is shared, and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/10358880">improve lines of communication with app developers</a> . SDKs provide functionality for app developers, but it can sometimes be tricky to know when an SDK is safe to use. Last year, we engaged with SDK developers to build a safer Android and Google Play ecosystem. As a result of this work, SDK developers have improved the safety of SDKs used by hundreds of thousands of apps impacting billions of users. This remains a huge investment area for our team, and we will continue in our efforts to make SDKs safer across the ecosystem.<br> Limiting access<br> The best way to ensure users' data stays safe is to limit access to it in the first place.<br> As a result of new platform protections and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/10467955">policies</a> , developer collaboration and education, 98% of apps migrating to Android 11 or higher have reduced their access to sensitive APIs and user data. We've also significantly reduced the unnecessary, dangerous, or disallowed use of <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/10964491?hl=en#:~:text=Google%20Play%20permits%20the%20use,that%20they%20are%20accessibility%20tools.">Accessibility APIs</a> in apps migrating to Android 12, while preserving the functionality of legitimate use cases.<br> We also continued in our commitment to make Android a great place for families.

The logs show LAPSUS$ breached T-Mobile multiple times in March, stealing source code for a range of company projects. T-Mobile says no customer or government information was stolen in the intrusion.<br> LAPSUS$ is known for stealing data and then demanding a ransom not to publish or sell it. But the leaked chats indicate this mercenary activity was of little interest to the tyrannical teenage leader of LAPSUS$, whose obsession with stealing and leaking proprietary computer source code from the world’s largest tech companies ultimately led to the group’s undoing.<br> From its inception in December 2021 until its implosion late last month, LAPSUS$ operated openly on its Telegram chat channel, which quickly grew to more than 40,000 followers after the group started using it to leak huge volumes of sensitive data stolen from victim corporations.<br> But LAPSUS$ also used private Telegram channels that were restricted to the core seven members of the group. KrebsOnSecurity recently received a week’s worth of these private conversations between LAPSUS$ members as they plotted their final attacks late last month.<br> The candid conversations show LAPSUS$ frequently obtained the initial access to targeted organizations by purchasing it from sites like Russian Market , which sell access to remotely compromised systems, as well as any credentials stored on those systems.<br> The logs indicate LAPSUS$ had exactly zero problems buying, stealing or sweet-talking their way into employee accounts at companies they wanted to hack. The bigger challenge for LAPSUS$ was the subject mentioned by “Lapsus Jobs” in the screenshot above: Device enrollment. In most cases, this involved social engineering employees at the targeted firm into adding one of their computers or mobiles to the list of devices allowed to authenticate with the company’s virtual private network (VPN).<br> The messages show LAPSUS$ members continuously targeted T-Mobile employees, whose access to internal company tools could give them everything they needed to conduct hassle-free “ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/category/sim-swapping/">SIM swaps</a> ” — reassigning a target’s mobile phone number to a device they controlled. These unauthorized sim swaps allow an attacker to intercept a target’s text messages and phone calls, including any links sent via SMS for password resets, or one-time codes sent for multi-factor authentication.<br> The LAPSUS$ group had a laugh at this screenshot posted by their leader, White, which shows him reading a T-Mobile news alert about their hack into Samsung. White is viewing the page via a T-Mobile employee’s virtual machine.<br> In one chat, the LAPSUS$ leader — 17-year-old from the U.K. who goes by the nicknames “ White ,” “ WhiteDoxbin ” and “ Oklaqq ” — is sharing his screen with another LAPSUS$ member who used the handles “ Amtrak ” and “ Asyntax .”<br> The two were exploring T-Mobile’s internal systems, and Amtrak asked White to obscure the T-Mobile logo on his screen. In these chats, the user “ Lapsus Jobs ” is White. Amtrak explains this odd request by saying their parents are aware Amtrak was previously involved in SIM swapping.<br> “Parents know I simswap,” Amtrak <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/parentsknowisimswap.png">said</a> . “So, if they see [that] they think I’m hacking.”<br> The messages reveal that each time LAPSUS$ was cut off from a T-Mobile employee’s account — either because the employee tried to log in or change their password — they would just <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/anothertmob.png">find or buy another set of T-Mobile VPN credentials</a> . T-Mobile currently has approximately 75,000 employees worldwide.<br> On March 19, 2022, the logs and accompanying screenshots show LAPSUS$ had <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/hasatlas1.png">gained access to Atlas</a> , a powerful internal T-Mobile tool for managing customer accounts.<br> LAPSUS$ leader White/Lapsus Jobs looking up the Department of Defense in T-Mobile’s internal Atlas system.<br> After gaining access to Atlas, White proceeded to look up T-Mobile accounts associated with the FBI and Department of Defense (see image above). Fortunately, those accounts were listed as requiring additional verification procedures before any changes could be processed.<br> Faced with increasingly vocal pleadings from other LAPSUS$ members <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/killatlasin1second.png">not to burn their access to Atlas and other tools</a> by trying to SIM swap government accounts, White unilaterally decided to <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/anothertmob.png">terminate the VPN connection permitting access to T-Mobile’s network.</a><br> The other LAPSUS$ members desperately wanted to SIM swap some wealthy targets for money. Amtrak <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/whyyyyyyy.png">throws a fit</a> , saying “ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/workedreallyhardforthis.png">I worked really hard for this!</a> ” White calls the Atlas access trash and then kills the VPN connection anyway, saying he wanted to focus on using their illicit T-Mobile access to steal source code.<br> A screenshot taken by LAPSUS$ inside T-Mobile’s source code repository at Bitbucket.<br> Perhaps to mollify his furious teammates, White changed the subject and told them he’d gained access to T-Mobile’s Slack and Bitbucket accounts. He said he’d figured out how to upload files to the virtual machine he had access to at T-Mobile. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/04/leaked-chats-show-lapsus-stole-t-mobile-source-code/#more-59472">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/04/leaked-chats-show-lapsus-stole-t-mobile-source-code/">Leaked Chats Show LAPSUS$ Stole T-Mobile Source Code</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/tussled/saved/20220422-160546/ Fri, 22 Apr 2022 16:05:46 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/tussled/saved/20220422-160546/ <p><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/AliSoftware">AliSoftware</a><br></p> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/AliSoftware/OHHTTPStubs">OHHTTPStubs</a><br> <hr> Stub your network requests easily!

Each year we’ve looked back at all of the detected and disclosed in-the-wild 0-days as a group and synthesized what we think the trends and takeaways are. The goal of this report is not to detail each individual exploit, but instead to analyze the exploits from the year as a group, looking for trends, gaps, lessons learned, successes, etc. If you’re interested in the analysis of individual exploits, please check out our <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/p/rca.html">root cause analysis repository</a> .<br> We perform and share this analysis in order to make 0-day hard . We want it to be more costly, more resource intensive, and overall more difficult for attackers to use 0-day capabilities. 2021 highlighted just how important it is to stay relentless in our pursuit to make it harder for attackers to exploit users with 0-days. We heard <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://forbiddenstories.org/about-the-pegasus-project/">over</a> and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://citizenlab.ca/2021/07/hooking-candiru-another-mercenary-spyware-vendor-comes-into-focus/">over</a> and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/research/2021/11/devices-of-palestinian-human-rights-defenders-hacked-with-nso-groups-pegasus-spyware-2/">over</a> about how governments were targeting journalists, minoritized populations, politicians, human rights defenders, and even security researchers around the world. The decisions we make in the security and tech communities can have real impacts on society and our fellow humans’ lives.<br> We’ll provide our evidence and process for our conclusions in the body of this post, and then wrap it all up with our thoughts on next steps and hopes for 2022 in the conclusion. If digging into the bits and bytes is not your thing, then feel free to just check-out the Executive Summary and Conclusion.<br> Executive Summary<br> 2021 included the detection and disclosure of 58 in-the-wild 0-days, the most ever recorded since Project Zero began tracking in mid-2014. That’s more than double the previous maximum of 28 detected in 2015 and especially stark when you consider that there were only 25 detected in 2020. We’ve tracked publicly known in-the-wild 0-day exploits in <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lkNJ0uQwbeC1ZTRrxdtuPLCIl7mlUreoKfSIgajnSyY/edit#gid=0">this spreadsheet</a> since mid-2014.<br> While we often talk about the number of 0-day exploits used in-the-wild, what we’re actually discussing is the number of 0-day exploits detected and disclosed as in-the-wild. And that leads into our first conclusion: we believe the large uptick in in-the-wild 0-days in 2021 is due to increased detection and disclosure of these 0-days, rather than simply increased usage of 0-day exploits.<br> With this record number of in-the-wild 0-days to analyze we saw that attacker methodology hasn’t actually had to change much from previous years . Attackers are having success using the same bug patterns and exploitation techniques and going after the same attack surfaces. Project Zero’s mission is “make 0day hard”. 0-day will be harder when, overall, attackers are not able to use public methods and techniques for developing their 0-day exploits. When we look over these 58 0-days used in 2021, what we see instead are 0-days that are similar to previous & publicly known vulnerabilities. Only two 0-days stood out as novel: one for the technical sophistication of its exploit and the other for its use of logic bugs to escape the sandbox.<br> So while we recognize the industry’s improvement in the detection and disclosure of in-the-wild 0-days, we also acknowledge that there’s a lot more improving to be done. Having access to more “ground truth” of how attackers are actually using 0-days shows us that they are able to have success by using previously known techniques and methods rather than having to invest in developing novel techniques. This is a clear area of opportunity for the tech industry.<br> We had so many more data points in 2021 to learn about attacker behavior than we’ve had in the past. Having all this data, though, has left us with even more questions than we had before. Unfortunately, attackers who actively use 0-day exploits do not share the 0-days they’re using or what percentage of 0-days we’re missing in our tracking, so we’ll never know exactly what proportion of 0-days are currently being found and disclosed publi cly.<br> Based on our analysis of the 2021 0-days we hope to see the following progress in 2022 in order to continue taking steps towards making 0-day hard:<br> All vendors agree to disclose the in-the-wild exploitation status of vulnerabilities in their security bulletins.<br> Exploit samples or detailed technical descriptions of the exploits are shared more widely.<br> Continued concerted efforts on reducing memory corruption vulnerabilities or rendering them unexploitable.Launch mitigations that will significantly impact the exploitability of memory corruption vulnerabilities.<br> A Record Year for In-the-Wild 0-days<br> 2021 was a record year for in-the-wild 0-days. So what happened?<br> Is it that software security is getting worse? Or is it that attackers are using 0-day exploits more? Or has our ability to detect and disclose 0-days increased? When looking at the significant uptick from 2020 to 2021, we think it's mostly explained by the latter. While we believe there has been a steady growth in interest and investment in 0-day exploits by attackers in the past several years, and that security still needs to urgently improve, it appears that the security industry's ability to detect and disclose in-the-wild 0-day exploits is the primary explanation for the increase in observed 0-day exploits in 2021.<br> While we often talk about “0-day exploits used in-the-wild”, what we’re actually tracking are “0-day exploits detected and disclosed as used in-the-wild”. There are more factors than just the use that contribute to an increase in that number, most notably: detection and disclosure. Better detection of 0-day exploits and more transparently disclosed exploited 0-day vulnerabilities is a positive indicator for security and progress in the industry.<br> Overall, we can break down the uptick in the number of in-the-wild 0-days into:<br> More detection of in-the-wild 0-day exploits<br> More public disclosure of in-the-wild 0-day exploitation<br> More detection<br> In the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2020/07/detection-deficit-year-in-review-of-0.html">2019 Year in Review</a> , we wrote about the “Detection Deficit”. We stated “ As a community, our ability to detect 0-days being used in the wild is severely lacking to the point that we can’t draw significant conclusions due to the lack of (and biases in) the data we have collected .” In the last two years, we believe that there’s been progress on this gap.<br> Anecdotally, we hear from more people that they’ve begun working more on detection of 0-day exploits. Quantitatively, while a very rough measure, we’re also seeing the number of entities credited with reporting in-the-wild 0-days increasing. I t stands to reason that if the number of people working on trying to find 0-day exploits increases, then the number of in-the-wild 0-day exploits detected may increase.<br> We’ve also seen the number of vendors detecting in-the-wild 0-days in their own products increasing. Whether or not these vendors were previously working on detection, vendors seem to have found ways to be more successful in 2021. Vendors likely have the most telemetry and overall knowledge and visibility into their products so it’s important that they are investing in (and hopefully having success in) detecting 0-days targeting their own products. As shown in the chart above , there was a significant increase in the number of in-the-wild 0-days discovered by vendors in their own products. Google discovered 7 of the in-the-wild 0-days in their own products and Microsoft discovered 10 in their products!<br> More disclosure<br> The second reason why the number of detected in-the-wild 0-days has increased is due to more disclosure of these vulnerabilities. Apple and Google Android (we differentiate “Google Android” rather than just “Google” because Google Chrome has been annotating their security bulletins for the last few years) first began labeling vulnerabilities in their security advisories with the information about potential in-the-wild exploitation in November 2020 and January 2021 respectively. When vendors don’t annotate their release notes, the only way we know that a 0-day was exploited in-the-wild is if the researcher who discovered the exploitation comes forward. If Apple and Google Android had not begun annotating their release notes, the public would likely not know about at least 7 of the Apple in-the-wild 0-days and 5 of the Android in-the-wild 0-days. Why? Because these vulnerabilities were reported by “Anonymous” reporters. If the reporters didn’t want credit for the vulnerability, it’s unlikely that they would have gone public to say that there were indications of exploitation. That is 12 0-days that wouldn’t have been included in this year’s list if Apple and Google Android had not begun transparently annotating their security advisories.<br> Kudos and thank you to Microsoft, Google Chrome, and Adobe who have been annotating their security bulletins for transparency for multiple years now! And thanks to Apache who also annotated their release notes for <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_24.html">CVE-2021-41773</a> this past year.<br> In-the-wild 0-days in Qualcomm and ARM products were annotated as in-the-wild in Android security bulletins, but not in the vendor’s own security advisories.<br> It's highly likely that in 2021, there were other 0-days that were exploited in the wild and detected, but vendors did not mention this in their release notes. In 2022, we hope that more vendors start noting when they patch vulnerabilities that have been exploited in-the-wild. Until we’re confident that all vendors are transparently disclosing in-the-wild status, there’s a big question of how many in-the-wild 0-days are discovered, but not labeled publicly by vendors.<br> New Year, Old Techniques<br> We had a record number of “data points” in 2021 to understand how attackers are actually using 0-day exploits. A bit surprising to us though, out of all those data points, there was nothing new amongst all this data. 0-day exploits are considered one of the most advanced attack methods an actor … https://www.whatsupup.com/projects/pulsed/prayerfully/20220419-161143/ Tue, 19 Apr 2022 16:11:43 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/projects/pulsed/prayerfully/20220419-161143/ <p><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blogs.nasa.gov/commercialcrew/2022/04/19/dragon-spacecraft-mated-to-falcon-9/">Dragon Spacecraft Mated to Falcon 9</a><br></p> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/coverage-set-for-nasa-s-spacex-crew-4-briefing-events-broadcast">Coverage Set for NASA’s SpaceX Crew-4 Briefing, Events, Broadcast</a><br> <hr> NASA Invites Media to Cover Boeing’s Orbital Flight Test-2 Mission<br> NASA’s SpaceX Crew-3 Astronauts to Discuss Mission, Splashdown<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/projects/dusked/jubilate/20220419-161114/ Tue, 19 Apr 2022 16:11:14 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/projects/dusked/jubilate/20220419-161114/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://deno.com/blog/netlify-edge-functions-on-deno-deploy">Netlify Edge Functions on Deno Deploy Introducing Netlify Edge Functions built on Deno Deploy.</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/software/checkpoint/brick/20220419-161014/ Tue, 19 Apr 2022 16:10:13 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/software/checkpoint/brick/20220419-161014/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://brave.com/privacy-updates/18-de-amp/">De-AMP: Cutting Out Google and Enhancing Privacy</a><br></p> <hr> Brave is rolling out a new feature called De-AMP, which allows Brave users to bypass Google-hosted AMP pages, and instead visit the content's publisher directly.<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/news/nonabsorbent/freaking/20220419-160828/ Tue, 19 Apr 2022 16:08:27 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/news/nonabsorbent/freaking/20220419-160828/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.npr.org/2022/04/18/1093451075/masks-optional-airlines-travel">Delta, United, Southwest, American and Alaska Airlines and other say masks are now optional for travelers on their aircraft.</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/ideo/fleury/20220419-160524/ Tue, 19 Apr 2022 16:05:23 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/ideo/fleury/20220419-160524/ Conti — one of the most ruthless and successful Russian ransomware groups — publicly declared during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic that it would refrain from targeting healthcare providers. But new information confirms this pledge was always a lie, and that Conti has launched more than 200 attacks against hospitals and other healthcare facilities since first surfacing in 2018 under its earlier name, “ Ryuk .”<br> On April 13, Microsoft said it executed <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2022/04/13/zloader-botnet-disrupted-malware-ukraine/">a legal sneak attack</a> against Zloader , a remote access trojan and malware platform that multiple ransomware groups have used to deploy their malware inside victim networks. More specifically, Microsoft <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://noticeofpleadings.com/Zloader/">obtained a court order</a> that allowed it to seize 65 domain names that were used to maintain the Zloader botnet.<br> Microsoft’s civil lawsuit against Zloader names seven “John Does,” essentially seeking information to identify cybercriminals who used Zloader to conduct ransomware attacks.

CBOR is one of them. Like several others, a subset of it basically fine—I'm not starting that fight today.<br> Whatever encoding you use, it's nice to reduce flexibility. If there are multiple ways of encoding the same thing then, for anything with a non-negligible diversity of implementations, you'll find that there is a canonical encoding, it's just not documented. As soon as one implementation tries using a valid, but less common encoding, it'll find that it doesn't work and something will change to sort it all out. But that process of eventual coordination is expensive—better to do it explicitly and up-front.<br> For example, TCP options are chunks of tag–length–value and the spec doesn't define any restriction on their ordering. That didn't stop me <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://lwn.net/Articles/304791/?format=printable">blowing up a Ubuntu release</a> because a change of mine happened to alter the order that Linux sent them, and some DSL modems dropped packets when options came in that order. That's an expensive discovery of an implicit canonicalisation rule.<br> If you're using CBOR then RFC 7049 has a <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7049#section-3.9">section</a> titled “Canonical CBOR”. One of the things it defines is how to order map elements. Great! No more TCP options messes. You can read that section for yourself, but one interpretation of the words there is what I'll call the three-step ordering for map keys:<br> Lowest valued types come first then, within each type,<br> Shortest encoded key comes first then, within consecutive keys with equal lengths,<br> Sort lexicographically.<br> However, there is another interpretation of the same section which I'll call the two-step ordering. It drops the first step, i.e. doesn't sort by types. When I first read that section, I certainly came away with only one interpretation, but I can somewhat see how the other arises.<br> CTAP, the protocol for talking to security keys, uses CBOR a lot and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-v2.1-ps-20210615/fido-client-to-authenticator-protocol-v2.1-ps-20210615.html#message-encoding">explicitly picks</a> the three-step ordering. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?eid=4409">An errata</a> was eventually raised against the RFC to “clarify” that the three-step order was correct, but it was rejected as a semantic change. So perhaps that's an official ruling that two-step was the correct understanding?<br> It only matters if you mix different types of keys in the same map, and sometimes you don't, so maybe it's moot for you. (But keep in mind that negative and non-negative numbers are different types in CBOR.) Anyway, the IETF revised the CBOR RFC to<br> firmly clarify the issue<br> add a third option:<br> RFC 7049 is obsoleted by 8949. The old “Canonical CBOR” section is replaced by “ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8949#section-4.2.1">Core Deterministic Encoding Requirements</a> ” and that specifies what I'll have to call the one-step ordering:<br> Sort lexicographically on the encoded key.<br> It has some advantages! Like, why was it ever more complicated than that in the first place? But it was, and now there's two (or three) orderings. The two-step ordering even has <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8949#section-4.2.3">a subsection</a> of its own in the new RFC and a note saying that it “could be called Old Canonical CBOR”. If only shipped implementations were as changeable as the X-Men universe.<br> So that's why there's two and half “canonical” CBORs and now I have something that I can reference when people ask me about this.<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/con/lechering/scandinavia/20220417-200324/ Sun, 17 Apr 2022 20:03:23 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/con/lechering/scandinavia/20220417-200324/ 15 September, 2022 - <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="http://www.securitybsides.com/w/page/148838193/BSidesStJohns2021">BSidesStJohn</a> 's (St. John's, NL) Tenth Event<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/projects/iteming/hinging/20220417-161222/ Sun, 17 Apr 2022 16:12:22 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/projects/iteming/hinging/20220417-161222/ Ax-1 to Depart from the International Space Station<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/news/denominate/telecast/20220417-160629/ Sun, 17 Apr 2022 16:06:29 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/news/denominate/telecast/20220417-160629/ Start your week here <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/17/us/five-things-april-17-trnd/index.html">Ukraine.

Like the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2022/04/cve-2021-30737-xerubs-2021-ios-asn1.html">writeup published last week</a> looking at an ASN.1 parser bug, this blog post is based on the notes I took as I was analyzing the patch and trying to understand the XNU vouchers subsystem. I hope that this writeup serves as the missing documentation for how some of the internals of the voucher subsystem works and its quirks which lead to this vulnerability.<br> CVE-2021-1782 was fixed in iOS 14.4, as noted by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/s1guza/status/1354575808547999744">@s1guza on twitter</a> :<br> This vulnerability was fixed on January 26th 2021, and Apple updated the iOS 14.4 release notes on May 28th 2021 to indicate that the issue may have been actively exploited:<br> Vouchers<br> What exactly is a voucher?<br> The kernel code has a concise description:<br> Vouchers are a reference counted immutable (once-created) set of indexes to particular resource manager attribute values (which themselves are reference counted).<br> That definition is technically correct, though perhaps not all that helpful by itself.<br> To actually understand the root cause and exploitability of this vulnerability is going to require covering a lot of the voucher codebase. This part of XNU is pretty obscure, and pretty complicated.<br> A voucher is a reference-counted table of keys and values. Pointers to all created vouchers are stored in the global ivht_bucket hash table.<br> For a particular set of keys and values there should only be one voucher object. During the creation of a voucher there is a deduplication stage where the new voucher is compared against all existing vouchers in the hashtable to ensure they remain unique, returning a reference to the existing voucher if a duplicate has been found.<br> Here's the structure of a voucher:<br> struct ipc_voucher {<br> iv_index_t     iv_hash ; /* checksum hash */<br> iv_index_t     iv_sum ; /* checksum of values */<br> os_refcnt_t    iv_refs ; /* reference count */<br> iv_index_t     iv_table_size ; /* size of the voucher table */<br> iv_index_t     iv_inline_table [ IV_ENTRIES_INLINE ];<br> iv_entry_t     iv_table ; /* table of voucher attr entries */<br> ipc_port_t     iv_port ; /* port representing the voucher */<br> queue_chain_t  iv_hash_link ; /* link on hash chain */<br> #define IV_ENTRIES_INLINE MACH_VOUCHER_ATTR_KEY_NUM_WELL_KNOWN<br> The voucher codebase is written in a very generic, extensible way, even though its actual use and supported feature set is quite minimal.<br> Keys<br> Keys in vouchers are not arbitrary. Keys are indexes into a voucher's iv_table ; a value's position in the iv_table table determines what "key" it was stored under. Whilst the vouchers codebase supports the runtime addition of new key types this feature isn't used and there are just a small number of fixed, well-known keys:<br> #define MACH_VOUCHER_ATTR_KEY_ALL (( mach_voucher_attr_key_t )~ 0 )<br> #define MACH_VOUCHER_ATTR_KEY_NONE (( mach_voucher_attr_key_t ) 0 )<br> /* other well-known-keys will be added here */<br> #define MACH_VOUCHER_ATTR_KEY_ATM (( mach_voucher_attr_key_t ) 1 )<br> #define MACH_VOUCHER_ATTR_KEY_IMPORTANCE (( mach_voucher_attr_key_t ) 2 )<br> #define MACH_VOUCHER_ATTR_KEY_BANK (( mach_voucher_attr_key_t ) 3 )<br> #define MACH_VOUCHER_ATTR_KEY_PTHPRIORITY (( mach_voucher_attr_key_t ) 4 )<br> #define MACH_VOUCHER_ATTR_KEY_USER_DATA (( mach_voucher_attr_key_t ) 7 )<br> #define MACH_VOUCHER_ATTR_KEY_TEST (( mach_voucher_attr_key_t ) 8 )<br> #define MACH_VOUCHER_ATTR_KEY_NUM_WELL_KNOWN MACH_VOUCHER_ATTR_KEY_TEST<br> The iv_inline_table in an ipc_voucher has 8 entries. But of those, only four are actually supported and have any associated functionality. The ATM voucher attributes are deprecated and the code supporting them is gone so only IMPORTANCE (2), BANK (3), PTHPRIORITY (4) and USER_DATA (7) are valid keys. There's some confusion (perhaps on my part) about when exactly you should use the term key and when attribute; I'll use them interchangeably to refer to these key values and the corresponding "types" of values which they manage. More on that later.<br> Values<br> Each entry in a voucher iv_table is an iv_index_t :<br> typedef natural_t iv_index_t ;<br> Each value is again an index; this time into a per-key cache of values, abstracted as a "Voucher Attribute Cache Control Object" represented by this structure:<br> struct ipc_voucher_attr_control {<br> os_refcnt_t   ivac_refs ;<br> boolean_t     ivac_is_growing ; /* is the table being grown */<br> ivac_entry_t  ivac_table ; /* table of voucher attr value entries */<br> iv_index_t    ivac_table_size ; /* size of the attr value table */<br> iv_index_t    ivac_init_table_size ; /* size of the attr value table */<br> iv_index_t    ivac_freelist ; /* index of the first free element */<br> ipc_port_t    ivac_port ; /* port for accessing the cache control  */<br> lck_spin_t    ivac_lock_data ;<br> iv_index_t    ivac_key_index ; /* key index for this value */<br> These are accessed indirectly via another global table:<br> static ipc_voucher_global_table_element iv_global_table [ MACH_VOUCHER_ATTR_KEY_NUM_WELL_KNOWN ];<br> (Again, the comments in the code indicate that in the future that this table may grow in size and allow attributes to be managed in userspace, but for now it's just a fixed size array.)<br> Each element in that table has this structure:<br> typedef struct ipc_voucher_global_table_element {<br> ipc_voucher_attr_manager_t      ivgte_manager ;<br> ipc_voucher_attr_control_t      ivgte_control ;<br> mach_voucher_attr_key_t         ivgte_key ;<br> } ipc_voucher_global_table_element ;<br> Both the iv_global_table and each voucher's iv_table are indexed by (key-1) , not key , so the userdata entry is [6] , not [7] , even though the array still has 8 entries.<br> The ipc_voucher_attr_control_t provides an abstract interface for managing "values" and the ipc_voucher_attr_manager_t provides the "type-specific" logic to implement the semantics of each type (here by type I mean "key" or "attr" type.) Let's look more concretely at what that means. Here's the definition of ipc_voucher_attr_manager_t :<br> struct ipc_voucher_attr_manager {<br> ipc_voucher_attr_manager_release_value_t    ivam_release_value ;<br> ipc_voucher_attr_manager_get_value_t        ivam_get_value ;<br> ipc_voucher_attr_manager_extract_content_t  ivam_extract_content ;<br> ipc_voucher_attr_manager_command_t          ivam_command ;<br> ipc_voucher_attr_manager_release_t          ivam_release ;<br> ipc_voucher_attr_manager_flags              ivam_flags ;<br> ivam_flags is an int containing some flags; the other five fields are function pointers which define the semantics of the particular attr type. Here's the ipc_voucher_attr_manager structure for the user_data type:<br> const struct ipc_voucher_attr_manager user_data_manager = {<br> . ivam_release_value = user_data_release_value ,<br> . ivam_get_value = user_data_get_value ,<br> . ivam_extract_content = user_data_extract_content ,<br> . ivam_command = user_data_command ,<br> . ivam_release = user_data_release ,<br> . ivam_flags = IVAM_FLAGS_NONE ,<br> Those five function pointers are the only interface from the generic voucher code into the type-specific code. The interface may seem simple but there are some tricky subtleties in there; we'll get to that later!<br> Let's go back to the generic ipc_voucher_attr_control structure which maintains the "values" for each key in a type-agnostic way. The most important field is ivac_entry_t  ivac_table , which is an array of ivac_entry_s 's . It's an index into this table which is stored in each voucher's iv_table .<br> Here's the structure of each entry in that table:<br> struct ivac_entry_s {<br> iv_value_handle_t ivace_value ;<br> iv_value_refs_t   ivace_layered : 1 , /* layered effective entry */<br> ivace_releasing : 1 , /* release in progress */<br> ivace_free : 1 , /* on freelist */<br> ivace_persist : 1 , /* Persist the entry, don't<br> count made refs */<br> ivace_refs : 28 ; /* reference count */<br> iv_value_refs_t ivaceu_made ; /* made count (non-layered) */<br> iv_index_t      ivaceu_layer ; /* next effective layer<br> (layered) */<br> } ivace_u ;<br> iv_index_t        ivace_next ; /* hash or freelist */<br> iv_index_t        ivace_index ; /* hash head (independent) */<br> ivace_refs is a reference count for this table index. Note that this entry is inline in an array; so this reference count going to zero doesn't cause the ivac_entry_s to be free'd back to a kernel allocator (like the zone allocator for example.) Instead, it moves this table index onto a freelist of empty entries. The table can grow but never shrink.<br> Table entries which aren't free store a type-specific "handle" in ivace_value . Here's the typedef chain for that type:<br> iv_value_handle_t ivace_value<br> typedef mach_voucher_attr_value_handle_t iv_value_handle_t ;<br> typedef uint64_t mach_voucher_attr_value_handle_t ;<br> The handle is a uint64_t but in reality the attrs can (and do) store pointers there, hidden behind casts.<br> A guarantee made by the attr_control is that there will only ever be one (live) ivac_entr y_s for a particular ivace_value . This means that each time a new ivace_value needs an ivac_entry the attr_control 's ivac_table needs to be searched to see if a matching value is already present. To speed this up in-use ivac_entries are linked together in hash buckets so that a (hopefully significantly) shorter linked-list of entries can be searched rather than a linear scan of the whole table. (Note that it's not a linked-list of pointers; each link in the chain is an index into the table.)<br> Userdata attrs<br> user_data is one of the four types of supported, implemented voucher attr types. It's only purpose is to manage buffers of arbitrary, user controlled data. Since the attr_control performs deduping only on the ivace_value (which is a pointer) the userdata attr manager is responsible for ensuring that userdata values which have identical buffer values (matching length and bytes) have identical pointers.<br> To do this it maintains a hash table of user_data_value_element structures, … https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/ewing/undiscernibly/20220416-001334/ Sat, 16 Apr 2022 00:13:34 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/ewing/undiscernibly/20220416-001334/ <p><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://security.googleblog.com/2022/04/how-to-slsa-part-3-putting-it-all.html">How to SLSA Part 3 - Putting it all together</a><br></p> <hr> Posted by Tom Hennen, software engineer, BCID & GOSST<br> In our last two posts ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://security.googleblog.com/2022/04/how-to-slsa-part-1-basics.html">1</a> , <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://security.googleblog.com/2022/04/how-to-slsa-part-2-details.html">2</a> ) we introduced a fictional example of Squirrel, Oppy, and Acme learning to SLSA and covered the basics and details of how they’d use SLSA for their organizations. Today we’ll close out the series by exploring how each organization pulls together the various solutions into a heterogeneous supply chain. As a reminder, Acme is trying to produce a container image that contains three artifacts:<br> The Squirrel package ‘foo’<br> The Oppy package ‘baz’<br> A custom executable, ‘bar’, written by Acme employees.<br> The process starts with ‘foo’ package authors triggering a build using GitHub Actions. This results in a new version of ‘foo’ (an artifact with hash ‘abc’) being pushed to the Squirrel repo along with its SLSA provenance (signed by Fulcio) and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/in-toto/attestation/issues/47">source attestation</a> . When Squirrel gets this push request it verifies the artifact against the specific policy for ‘foo’ which checks that it was built by GitHub Actions from the expected source repository. After the artifact passes the policy check a VSA is created and the new package, its original SLSA provenance, and the VSA are made public in the Squirrel repo, available to all users of package ‘foo’. Next the maintainers of the Oppy ‘baz’ package trigger a new build using the Oppy Autobuilder. This results in a new version of ‘baz’ (an artifact with hash ‘def’) being pushed to a public Oppy repo with the SLSA provenance (signed by their org-specific keys) published to Rekor. When the repo gets the push request it makes the artifact available to the public. The repo does not perform any verification at this time. An Acme employee then makes a change to their Dockerfile, sending it for review by their co-worker, who approves the change and merges the PR. This then causes the Acme builder to trigger a build. During this build:<br> bar is compiled from source code stored in the same source repo as the Dockerfile.<br> acorn install downloads ‘foo’ from the Squirrel repo, verifying the VSA, and recording the use of acorn://foo@abc and its VSA in the build.<br> acme_oppy_get install (a custom script made by Acme) downloads the latest version of the Oppy ‘baz’ package and queries its SLSA provenance and other attestations from Rekor. It then performs a full verification checking that it was built by ‘https://oppy.example/slsa/builder/v1’ and the publicized key. Once verification is complete it records the use of oppy://baz@def and the associated attestations in the build.<br> The build process assembles the SLSA provenance for the container by:<br> Recording the Acme git repo the bar source and Dockerfile came from, into <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://slsa.dev/provenance/v0.2#materials">materials</a> .<br> Copying the reported dependencies of acorn://foo@abc and oppy://baz@def into <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://slsa.dev/provenance/v0.2#materials">materials</a> and adding their attestations to the output <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/in-toto/attestation/blob/main/spec/bundle.md">in-toto bundle</a> .<br> Recording the CI/CD entrypoint as the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://slsa.dev/provenance/v0.2#invocation">invocation</a> .<br> Creating a signed <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/secure-systems-lab/dsse">DSSE</a> with the SLSA provenance and adding it to the output <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/in-toto/attestation/blob/main/spec/bundle.md">in-toto bundle</a> .<br> Once the container is ready for release the Acme verifier checks the SLSA provenance (and other data in the in-toto bundle) using the policy from their own policy repo and issues a VSA. The VSA and all associated attestations are then published to an internal Rekor instance. Acme can then create an <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_bill_of_materials">SBOM</a> for the container leveraging data about the build as stored in Rekor. Acme then publishes the container image, the VSA, and the SBOM on Dockerhub. Downstream users of this Acme container can then check the Acme issued VSA, and if there are any problems Acme can consult their internal Rekor instance to get more details on the build allowing Acme to trace all of their dependencies back to source code and the systems used to create them. Conclusion With SLSA implemented in the ways described in this series, downstream users are protected from many of <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://slsa.dev/spec/v0.1/threats">the threats affecting the software supply chain today</a> . While users still need to trust certain parties, the number of systems requiring trust is much lower and users are in a much better position to investigate any issues that arise. We’d love to see the ideas in this series implemented, refuted, or used as a foundation to build even stronger solutions. We’d also love to hear some other methods on how to solve these issues. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/slsa-framework/slsa#get-involved">Show us</a> how you like to SLSA.<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://security.googleblog.com/2022/04/how-to-slsa-part-2-details.html">How to SLSA Part 2 - The Details</a><br> <hr> Posted by Tom  Hennen, software engineer, BCID & GOSST<br> In <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://security.googleblog.com/2022/04/how-to-slsa-part-1-basics.html">our last post</a> we introduced a fictional example of Squirrel, Oppy, and Acme learning to use SLSA and covered the basics of what their implementations might look like. Today we’ll cover the details: where to store attestations and policies, what policies should check, and how to handle key distribution and trust.<br> Attestation storage<br> Attestations play a large role in SLSA and it’s essential that consumers of artifacts know where to find the attestations for those artifacts.<br> Co-located in repo Attestations could be colocated in the repository that hosts the artifact. This is how Squirrel plans to store attestations for packages. They even want to add support to the Squirrel CLI (e.g. acorn get-attestations foo@1.2.3). Acme really likes this approach because the attestations are always available and it doesn’t introduce any new dependencies.<br> Rekor<br> Meanwhile, Oppy plans to store attestations in <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/sigstore/rekor">Rekor</a> . They like being able to direct users to an existing public instance while not having to maintain any new infrastructure themselves, and the in-depth defense the transparency log provides against tampering with the attestations. Though the latency of querying attestations from Rekor is likely too high for doing verification at time of use, Oppy isn’t too concerned since they expect users to query Rekor at install time. Hybrid A hybrid model is also available where the publisher stores the attestations in Rekor as well as co-located with the artifact in the repo—along with Rekor’s inclusion proof. This provides confidence the data was added to Rekor while providing the benefits of co-locating attestations in the repository.<br> Policy content<br> ‘Policy’ refers to the rules used to determine if an artifact should be allowed for a use case. Policies often use the package name as a proxy for determining the use case. An example being, if you want to find the policy to apply you could look up the policy using the package name of the artifact you’re evaluating. Policy specifics may vary based on ease of use, availability of data, risk tolerance and more. Full verification needs more from policies than delegated verification does.<br> Default policy Default policies allow admission decisions without the need to create specific policies for each package. A default policy is a way of saying “anything that doesn’t have a more specific policy must comply with this policy”. Squirrel plans to eventually implement a default policy of “any package without a more specific policy will be accepted as long as it meets SLSA 3”, but they recognize that most packages don’t support this yet. Until they achieve critical mass they’ll have a default SLSA 0 policy (all artifacts are accepted). While Oppy is leaving verification to their users, they’ll suggest a default policy of “any package built by ‘https://oppy.example/slsa/builder/v1’”.<br> Specific policy Squirrel also plans to allow users to create policies for specific packages. For example, this policy requires that package ‘foo’ must have been built by GitHub Actions, from github.com/foo/acorn-foo, and be SLSA 4.<br> scope : 'acorn://foo'<br> target_level : SLSA_L4<br> allow_github_actions {<br> workflow : 'https://github.com/gossts/slsa-acorn/.github/workflows/builder.yml@main'<br> source_repo : 'https://github.com/foo/acorn-foo.git'<br> allow_branch : 'main'<br> Squirrel will also allow packages to create SLSA 0 policies if they’re not using SLSA compliant infrastructure.<br> scope : 'acorn://qux'<br> Policy auto generation<br> Squirrel has an enormous number of existing packages. It’s not feasible to get all those package maintainers to create specific policies themselves. Therefore, Squirrel plans to leverage <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_mining">process mining</a> to auto generate policies for packages based on the history of the package. E.g. “The last 10 times Squirrel package foo was published it was built by GitHub Actions from github.com/foo/acorn-foo, and met SLSA 4 (this is the policy above). Let’s create a policy that requires that and send it to the maintainers to review.” Policy add-ons Policy evaluation could do more than just evaluate the SLSA requirements. The same policies that check SLSA requirements are well placed to check other properties that are important to organizations like “was static analysis performed”, “are there any known CVEs in this artifact”, “was integration testing successful”, etc… Acme is really interested in some of these policy add-ons. They’d like to avoid the embarrassing situation of publishing a new container image with known CVEs. They’re not sure how to implement it yet but they’ll be on the lookout for tools that can help them do so.<br> Delegated policies When using delegated verification there’s much less that actually needs to be checked and they can be hard-coded directly in tooling. A minimal delegated verification policy might be “allow if trusted-party verified this artifact (identified by digest) as <package name>”. This can be tightened further by adding requirements on the artifact & its dependencies SLSA levels (data which is available in the VSA). For example, “allow if trusted-party verified this artifact as <package name> at SLSA 3 and it doesn’t have any dependencies less than SLSA 2”.<br> # Delegated verification implicitly checks that the package name we're<br> # checking matches the VSA's subject.name field.<br> allow_delegated_verification {<br> trusted_verifier : 'https://delegatedverifier.com/slsa/v1'<br> minimum_level : SLSA_L3<br> minimum_dependency_level : SLSA_L2<br> Policy storage<br> When using specific, non-default, policies … https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/boxed/modification/20220416-001331/ Sat, 16 Apr 2022 00:13:31 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/boxed/modification/20220416-001331/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://quuxplusone.github.io/blog/tags/#argument-dependent-lookup">argument-dependent-lookup</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://quuxplusone.github.io/blog/tags/#customization-points">customization-points</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://quuxplusone.github.io/blog/tags/#library-design">library-design</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://quuxplusone.github.io/blog/tags/#name-lookup">name-lookup</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://quuxplusone.github.io/blog/tags/#pitfalls">pitfalls</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://quuxplusone.github.io/blog/tags/#slack">slack</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://quuxplusone.github.io/blog/tags/#standard-library-trivia">standard-library-trivia</a><br> As seen on the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://cppalliance.org/slack/">cpplang Slack</a> (hat tip to Jody Hagins).

Two of the flaws have been publicly detailed prior to this week, and one is already seeing active exploitation, according to a report from the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA).<br> Of particular concern this month is <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2022-24521">CVE-2022-24521</a> , which is a “privilege escalation” vulnerability in the Windows common log file system driver. In its advisory, Microsoft said it received a report from the NSA that the flaw is under active attack.<br> “It’s not stated how widely the exploit is being used in the wild, but it’s likely still targeted at this point and not broadly available,” assessed Dustin Childs with Trend Micro’s Zero Day Initiative. “Go patch your systems before that situation changes.”<br> Nine of the updates pushed this week address problems Microsoft considers “critical,” meaning the flaws they fix could be abused by malware or malcontents to seize total, remote access to a Windows system without any help from the user.<br> Among the scariest critical bugs is <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2022-26809">CVE-2022-26809,</a> a potentially “wormable” weakness in a core Windows component ( RPC ) that earned a CVSS score of 9.8 (10 being the worst). Microsoft said it believes exploitation of this flaw is more likely than not.<br> Other potentially wormable threats this month include <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2022-24491">CVE-2022-24491</a> and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2022-24497">CVE-2022-24497</a> , Windows Network File System (NFS) vulnerabilities that also clock in at 9.8 CVSS scores and are listed as “exploitation more likely by Microsoft.”<br> “These could be the kind of vulnerabilities which appeal to ransomware operators as they provide the potential to expose critical data,” said Kevin Breen , director of cyber threat research at Immersive Labs . “It is also important for security teams to note that NFS Role is not a default configuration for Windows devices.” <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/04/microsoft-patch-tuesday-april-2022-edition/#more-59439">Continue reading →</a><br> The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) said today it seized the website and user database for RaidForums , an extremely popular English-language cybercrime forum that sold access to more than 10 billion consumer records stolen in some of the world’s largest data breaches since 2015. The DOJ also charged the alleged administrator of RaidForums — 21-year-old Diogo Santos Coelho , of Portugal — with six criminal counts, including conspiracy, access device fraud and aggravated identity theft.<br> The “raid” in RaidForums is a nod to the community’s humble beginnings in 2015, when it was primarily an online venue for organizing and supporting various forms of electronic harassment. According to the DOJ, that early activity included ‘ raiding ‘ — posting or sending an overwhelming volume of contact to a victim’s online communications medium — and ‘ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/tag/swatting/">swatting</a> ,’ the practice of making false reports to public safety agencies of situations that would necessitate a significant, and immediate armed law enforcement response.”<br> But over the years as trading in hacked databases became big business, RaidForums emerged as the go-to place for English-speaking hackers to peddle their wares. Perhaps the most bustling marketplace within RaidForums was its “ Leaks Market ,” which described itself as a place to buy, sell, and trade hacked databases and leaks.<br> The government alleges Coelho and his forum administrator identity “ Omnipotent ” profited from the illicit activity on the platform by charging “escalating prices for membership tiers that offered greater access and features, including a top-tier ‘God’ membership status.”<br> “RaidForums also sold ‘credits’ that provided members access to privileged areas of the website and enabled members to ‘unlock’ and download stolen financial information, means of identification, and data from compromised databases, among other items,” the DOJ said in <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-edva/pr/us-leads-seizure-one-world-s-largest-hacker-forums-and-arrests-administrator">a written statement</a> . “Members could also earn credits through other means, such as by posting instructions on how to commit certain illegal acts.”<br> Prosecutors say Coelho also personally sold stolen data on the platform, and that Omnipotent directly facilitated illicit transactions by operating a fee-based “ Official Middleman ” service, a kind of escrow or insurance service that denizens of RaidForums were encouraged to use when transacting with other criminals.<br> Investigators described multiple instances wherein undercover federal agents or confidential informants used Omnipotent’s escrow service to purchase huge tranches of data from one of Coelho’s alternate user  identities — meaning Coelho not only sold data he’d personally hacked but also further profited by insisting the transactions were handled through his own middleman service.<br> Not all of those undercover buys went as planned. One incident described in <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-edva/press-release/file/1493601/download">an affidavit by prosecutors</a> (PDF) appears related to the sale of tens of millions of consumer records stolen last year from T-Mobile , although the government refers to the victim only as a major telecommunications company and wireless network operator in the United States.<br> On Aug. 11, 2021, an individual using the moniker “ SubVirt ” posted on RaidForums an offer to sell Social Security numbers, dates of birth and other records on more than 120 million people in the United States (SubVirt would later edit the sales thread to say 30 million records). Just days later, <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/08/t-mobile-breach-exposed-ssn-dob-of-40m-people/">T-Mobile would acknowledge a data breach</a> affecting 40 million current, former or prospective customers who applied for credit with the company.<br> The government says the victim firm hired a third-party to purchase the database and prevent it from being sold to cybercriminals. That third-party ultimately paid approximately $200,000 worth of bitcoin to the seller, with the agreement that the data would be destroyed after sale. “However, it appears the co-conspirators continued to attempt to sell the databases after the third-party’s purchase,” the affidavit alleges.<br> The FBI’s seizure of RaidForums was <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/03/a-closer-look-at-the-lapsus-data-extortion-group/">first reported by KrebsOnSecurity on Mar. 23</a> , after a federal investigator confirmed rumors that the FBI had been secretly operating the RaidForums website for weeks. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/04/raidforums-get-raided-alleged-admin-arrested/#more-59419">Continue reading →</a><br> Online scams that try to separate the unwary from their cryptocurrency are a dime a dozen, but a great many seemingly disparate crypto scam websites tend to rely on the same dodgy infrastructure providers to remain online in the face of massive fraud and abuse complaints from their erstwhile customers. Here’s a closer look at hundreds of phony crypto investment schemes that are all connected through a hosting provider which caters to people running crypto scams.<br> A security researcher recently shared with KrebsOnSecurity an email he received from someone who said they foolishly invested an entire bitcoin (currently worth ~USD $43,000) at a website called ark-x2[.]org, which promised to double any cryptocurrency investment made with the site.<br> The ark-x2[.]org site pretended to be a crypto giveaway website run by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/CathieDWood">Cathie Wood</a> , the founder and CEO of ARKinvest , an established Florida company that manages several exchange-traded investment funds. This is hardly the first time scammers have impersonated Wood or ARKinvest; <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/cathiedwood/status/1313547340272340993?lang=en">a tweet from Wood in 2020 warned</a> that the company would never use YouTube, Twitter, Instagram or any social media to solicit money.<br> At the crux of these scams are well-orchestrated video productions published on YouTube and Facebook that claim to be a “live event” featuring famous billionaires. In reality, these videos just rehash older footage while peppering viewers with prompts to sign up at a scam investment site — one they claim has been endorsed by the celebrities.<br> “I was watching a live video at YouTube where Elon Musk, Cathy Wood, and Jack Dorsey were talking about Crypto,” the victim told my security researcher friend. “An overlay on the video pointed to subscribing to the event at their website. I’ve been following Cathy Wood in her analysis on financial markets, so I was in a comfortable and trusted environment. The three of them are bitcoin maximalists in a sense, so it made perfect sense they were organizing a giveaway.”<br> “Without any doubt (other than whether the transfer would go through), I sent them 1 BTC (~$42,800), and they were supposed to return 2 BTC back,” the victim continued. “In hindsight, this was an obvious scam. But the live video and the ARK Invest website is what produced the trusted environment to me. I realized a few minutes later, when the live video looped. It wasn’t actually live, but a replay of a video from 6 months ago.”<br> Ark-x2[.]org is no longer online. But a look at the Internet address historically tied to this domain (186.2.171.79) shows the same address is used to host or park <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1R3fZBzb75eQ3_RSxZ1Oq2DErZpkN-f5IMZj4i8IRs80/edit?usp=sharing">hundreds of other newly-minted crypto scam domains</a> , including coinbase-x2[.]net (pictured below).<br> The crypto scam site coinbase-x2[.]net, which snares unwary investors with promises of free money.<br> Typical of crypto scam sites, Coinbase-x2 promises a chance to win 50,000 ETH (Ethereum virtual currency), plus a “welcome bonus” wherein they promise to double any crypto investment made with the platform. But everyone who falls for this greed trap soon discovers they won’t be getting anything in return, and that their “investment” is gone forever.<br> There isn’t a lot of information about who bought these crypto scam domains, as most of them were registered in the past month at registrars that <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2018/03/who-is-afraid-of-more-spams-and-scams/">automatically redact the site’s WHOIS ownership records</a> .<br> However, <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/cryptohost-us.txt">several dozen of the domains</a> are in the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.us">.us domain space</a> , which is technically supposed to be reserved for entities physically based in the United States. Those Dot-us domains all contain the registrant name Sergei Orlovets from Moscow, the email address <a href="mailto:ulaninkirill52@gmail.com">ulaninkirill52@gmail.com</a> , and the phone number +7.9914500893 .

If that’s you, we’re offering: - 50/50 split of the gross income. - Optional test where students demonstrate their skill for a certificate. All the info you need to apply is on the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://defcon.org/html/defcon-30/dc-30-cft.html">Call for Training</a> page.

Separately, law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and Germany moved to decapitate “ Hydra ,” a billion-dollar Russian darknet drug bazaar that also helped to launder the profits of multiple Russian ransomware groups.<br> FBI officials <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/director-christopher-wray-announces-actions-to-disrupt-and-prosecute-russian-criminal-activity-040622">said</a> Wednesday they disrupted “ Cyclops Blink ,” a collection of compromised networking devices managed by hackers working with the Russian Federation’s Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU).<br> A <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-announces-court-authorized-disruption-botnet-controlled-russian-federation">statement</a> from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) says the GRU’s hackers built Cyclops Blink by exploiting previously undocumented security weaknesses in firewalls and routers made by both ASUS and WatchGuard Technologies . The DOJ said it did not seek to disinfect compromised devices; instead, it obtained court orders to remove the Cyclops Blink malware from its “command and control” servers — the hidden machines that allowed the attackers to orchestrate the activities of the botnet.<br> The FBI and other agencies <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/news/joint-advisory-shows-new-sandworm-malware-cyclops-blink-replaces-vpnfilter">warned in March</a> that the Cyclops Blink malware was built to replace a threat called “ VPNFilter ,” an earlier malware platform that targeted <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2018/05/fbi-kindly-reboot-your-router-now-please/">vulnerabilities in a number of consumer-grade wireless and wired routers</a> .

Originally this post was just a series of notes I took last year as I was trying to understand this bug. But the bug itself and the narrative around it are so fascinating that I thought it would be worth writing up these notes into a more coherent form to share with the community.<br> On April 14th 2021 the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/04/14/azimuth-san-bernardino-apple-iphone-fbi/">Washington Post published an article</a> on the unlocking of the San Bernardino iPhone by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/8xdayg/iphone-zero-days-inside-azimuth-security">Azimuth</a> containing a nugget of non-public information:<br> " Azimuth specialized in finding significant vulnerabilities . Dowd [...] had found one in open-source code from Mozilla that Apple used to permit accessories to be plugged into an iPhone’s lightning port, according to the person. "<br> There's not that much Mozilla code running on an iPhone and even less which is likely to be part of such an attack surface. Therefore, if accurate, this quote almost certainly meant that Azimuth had exploited a vulnerability in the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASN.1">ASN.1</a> parser used by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://opensource.apple.com/source/Security/">Security.framework</a> , which is a fork of Mozilla's NSS ASN.1 parser.<br> I searched around in <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/">bugzilla</a> (Mozilla's issue tracker) looking for candidate vulnerabilities which matched the timeline discussed in the Post article and narrowed it down to a handful of plausible bugs including: <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1202868">1202868</a> , <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1192028">1192028</a> , <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1245528">1245528</a> .<br> I was surprised that there had been so many exploitable-looking issues in the ASN.1 code and decided to add auditing the NSS ASN.1 parser as an quarterly goal.<br> A month later, having predictably done absolutely nothing more towards that goal, I saw this <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/xerub/status/1397190931653222400">tweet from @xerub</a> :<br> @xerub: CVE-2021-30737 is pretty bad.

It's only relevant when "allocator marks" are enabled and this feature is disabled.<br> The vulnerability must therefore be in sec_asn1d_parse_bit_string . We know from xerub's tweet that something goes wrong with a state machine, but to figure it out we need to cover some ASN.1 basics and then start looking at how the NSS ASN.1 state machine works.<br> ASN.1 encoding<br> ASN.1 is a Type-Length-Value serialization format, but with the neat quirk that it can also handle the case when you don't know the length of the value, but want to serialize it anyway! That quirk is only possible when ASN.1 is encoded according to Basic Encoding Rules (BER.) There is a stricter encoding called DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules) which enforces that a particular value only has a single correct encoding and disallows the cases where you can serialize values without knowing their eventual lengths.<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://luca.ntop.org/Teaching/Appunti/asn1.html">This page is a nice beginner's guide to ASN.1</a> . I'd really recommend skimming that to get a good overview of ASN.1.<br> There are a lot of built-in types in ASN.1. I'm only going to describe the minimum required to understand this vulnerability (mostly because I don't know any more than that!) So let's just start from the very first byte of a serialized ASN.1 object and figure out how to decode it:<br> This first byte tells you the type, with the least significant 5 bits defining the type identifier. The special type identifier value of 0x1f tells you that the type identifier doesn't fit in those 5 bits and is instead encoded in a different way (which we'll ignore):<br> Diagram showing first two bytes of a serialized ASN.1 object. The first byte in this case is the type and class identifier and the second is the length.<br> The upper two bits of the first byte tell you the class of the type: universal, application, content-specific or private. For us, we'll leave that as 0 (universal.)<br> Bit 6 is where the fun starts. A value of 1 tells us that this is a primitive encoding which means that following the length are content bytes which can be directly interpreted as the intended type. For example, a primitive encoding of the string "HELLO" as an ASN.1 printable string would have a length byte of 5 followed by the ASCII characters " HELLO ". All fairly straightforward.<br> A value of 0 for bit 6 however tells us that this is a constructed encoding. This means that the bytes following the length are not the "raw" content bytes for the type but are instead ASN.1 encodings of one or more "chunks" which need to be individually parsed and concatenated to form the final output value. And to make things extra complicated it's also possible to specify a length value of 0 which means that you don't even know how long the reconstructed output will be or how much of the subsequent input will be required to completely build the output.<br> This final case (of a constructed type with indefinite length) is known as indefinite form. The end of the input which makes up a single indefinite value is signaled by a serialized type with the identifier, constructed, class and length values all equal to 0 , which is encoded as two NULL bytes.<br> ASN.1 bitstrings<br> Most of the ASN.1 string types require no special treatment; they're just buffers of raw bytes. Some of them have length restrictions. For example: a BMP string must have an even length and a UNIVERSAL string must be a multiple of 4 bytes in length, but that's about it.<br> ASN.1 bitstrings are strings of bits as opposed to bytes. You could for example have a bitstring with a length of a single bit (so either a 0 or 1 ) or a bitstring with a length of 127 bits (so 15 full bytes plus an extra 7 bits.)<br> Encoded ASN.1 bitstrings have an extra metadata byte after the length but before the contents, which encodes the number of unused bits in the final byte.<br> Diagram showing the complete encoding of a 3-bit bitstring. The length of 2 includes the unused-bits count byte which has a value of 5, indicating that only the 3 most-significant bits of the final byte are valid.<br> Parsing ASN.1<br> ASN.1 data always needs to be decoded in tandem with a template that tells the parser what data to expect and also provides output pointers to be filled in with the parsed output data. Here's the template my test program uses to exercise the bitstring code:<br> const SecAsn1Template simple_bitstring_template [] = {<br> SEC_ASN1_BIT_STRING | SEC_ASN1_MAY_STREAM , // kind: bit string,<br> //  may be constructed<br> 0 , // offset: in dest/src<br> NULL , // sub: subtemplate for indirection<br> sizeof ( SecAsn1Item ) // size: of output structure<br> A SecASN1Item is a very simple wrapper around a buffer. We can provide a SecAsn1Item for the parser to use to return the parsed bitstring then call the parser:<br> SecAsn1Item decoded = { 0 };<br> PLArenaPool * pool = PORT_NewArena ( 1024 );<br> SECStatus status =<br> SEC_ASN1Decode ( pool , // pool: arena for destination allocations<br> & decoded , // dest: decoded encoded items in to here<br> & simple_bitstring_template , // template<br> asn1_bytes , // buf: asn1 input bytes<br> asn1_bytes_len ); // len: input size<br> NSS ASN.1 state machine<br> The state machine has two core data structures:<br> SEC_ASN1DecoderContext - the overall parsing context<br> sec_asn1d_state - a single parser state, kept in a doubly-linked list forming a stack of nested states<br> Here's a trimmed version of the state object showing the relevant fields:<br> typedef struct sec_asn1d_state_struct {<br> SEC_ASN1DecoderContext * top ;<br> const SecAsn1Template * theTemplate ;<br> void * dest ;<br> struct sec_asn1d_state_struct * parent ;<br> struct sec_asn1d_state_struct * child ;<br> sec_asn1d_parse_place place ;<br> unsigned long contents_length ;<br> unsigned long pending ;<br> unsigned long consumed ;<br> int depth ;<br> } sec_asn1d_state ;<br> The main engine of the parsing state machine is the method … https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/ewing/undiscernibly/20220407-161437/ Thu, 07 Apr 2022 16:14:37 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/ewing/undiscernibly/20220407-161437/ <p><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://security.googleblog.com/2022/04/improving-software-supply-chain.html">Improving software supply chain security with tamper-proof builds</a><br></p> <hr> Posted by Asra Ali and Laurent Simon, Google Open Source Security Team (GOSST)<br> Many of the recent high-profile software attacks that have alarmed open-source users globally were consequences of supply chain integrity vulnerabilities: attackers gained control of a build server to <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/sunspot-malware-technical-analysis/">use malicious source files</a> , <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/sunspot-malware-technical-analysis/">inject malicious artifacts</a> into a compromised build platform, and bypass trusted builders to <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://about.codecov.io/apr-2021-post-mortem/">upload malicious artifacts</a> . Each of these attacks could have been prevented if there were a way to detect that the delivered artifacts diverged from the expected origin of the software. But until now, generating verifiable information that described where, when, and how software artifacts were produced (information known as provenance) was difficult. This information allows users to trace artifacts verifiably back to the source and develop risk-based policies around what they consume. Currently, provenance generation is not widely supported, and solutions that do exist may require migrating build processes to services like <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/tektoncd/chains">Tekton Chains</a> . This blog post describes a new method of generating non-forgeable provenance using <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows">GitHub Actions workflows</a> for isolation and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.sigstore.dev/">Sigstore’s</a> signing tools for authenticity. Using this approach, projects building on GitHub runners can achieve <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://slsa.dev/spec/v0.1/requirements">SLSA 3</a> (the third of four progressive SLSA “levels”), which affirms to consumers that your artifacts are authentic and trustworthy.<br> Provenance<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://slsa.dev/">SLSA</a> ("Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts”) is a framework to help improve the integrity of your project throughout its development cycle, allowing consumers to trace the final piece of software you release all the way back to the source. Achieving a high SLSA level helps to improve the trust that your artifacts are what you say they are. This blog post focuses on build provenance, which gives users important information about the build: who performed the release process? Was the build artifact protected against malicious tampering? Source provenance describes how the source code was protected, which we’ll cover in future blog posts, so stay tuned.<br> Go prototype to generate non-forgeable build provenance<br> To create tamperless evidence of the build and allow consumer verification, you need to:<br> Isolate the provenance generation from the build process;<br> Isolate against maintainers interfering in the workflow;<br> Provide a mechanism to identify the builder during provenance verification.<br> The full isolation described in the first two points allows consumers to trust that the provenance was faithfully recorded; entities that provide this guarantee are called trusted builders. Our <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/slsa-framework/slsa-github-generator-go">Go prototype</a> solves all three challenges. It also includes running the build inside the trusted builder, which provides a strong guarantee that the build achieves SLSA 3’s <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://slsa.dev/spec/v0.1/requirements#ephemeral-environment">ephemeral</a> and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://slsa.dev/spec/v0.1/requirements#isolated">isolated</a> requirement.<br> How does it work?<br> The following steps create the trusted builder that is necessary to generate provenance in isolation from the build and maintainer’s interference.<br> Step One: Create a reusable workflow on GitHub runners Leveraging GitHub’s <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/reusing-workflows">reusable workflows</a> provides the isolation mechanism from both maintainers’ caller workflows and from the build process. Within the workflow, Github Actions creates <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/understanding-github-actions#the-components-of-github-actions">fresh instances of virtual machines (VMs), called runners, for each job</a> . These separate VMs give the necessary isolation for a trusted builder, so that different VMs compile the project and generate and sign the SLSA provenance (see diagram below). Running the workflow on <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-github-hosted-runners/about-github-hosted-runners">GitHub-hosted runners</a> gives the guarantee that the code run is in fact the intended workflow, which <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://docs.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/about-self-hosted-runners">self-hosted runners</a> do not. This prototype relies on GitHub to run the exact code defined in the workflow. The reusable workflow also protects against possible interference from maintainers, who could otherwise try to define the workflow in a way that interferes with the builder. The only way to interact with a reusable workflow is through the input parameters it exposes to the calling workflow, which stops maintainers from altering information via <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#env">environment variables</a> , <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idsteps">steps</a> , <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idservices">services</a> and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#defaults">defaults</a> . To protect against the possibility of one job (e.g. the build step) tampering with the other artifacts used by another job (the provenance step), this approach uses a trusted channel to protect the integrity of the data. We use <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-jobs/defining-outputs-for-jobs">job outputs</a> to send hashes (due to size limitations) and then use the hashes to verify the binary received via the untrusted artifact registry.<br> Step 2: Use OpenID Connect (OIDC) to prove the identity of the workflow to an external service (Sigstore) OpenID Connect (OIDC) is a standard used across the web for identity providers (e.g., Google) to attest to the identity of a user for a third party. GitHub now <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://docs.github.com/en/actions/deployment/security-hardening-your-deployments/about-security-hardening-with-openid-connect">supports</a> OIDC in their workflows. Each time a workflow is run, a runner can mint a unique <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://docs.github.com/en/actions/deployment/security-hardening-your-deployments/about-security-hardening-with-openid-connect#understanding-the-oidc-token">JWT token</a> from GitHub’s OIDC provider. The token contains verifiable information of the workflow identity, including the caller repository, commit hash, trigger, and the current (reuseable) workflow path and reference. Using OIDC, the workflow proves its identity to <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.sigstore.dev/">Sigstore's</a> Fulcio root Certificate Authority, which acts as an external verification service. Fulcio signs a short-lived certificate attesting to an ephemeral signing key generated in the runner and tying it to the workload identity. A record of signing the provenance is kept in Sigstore’s transparency log <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/sigstore/rekor">Rekor</a> . Users can use the signing certificate as a trust anchor to verify that the provenance was authenticated and non-forgeable; it must have been created inside the trusted builder.<br> Verification<br> The consumer can verify the artifact and its signed provenance with these steps:<br> Look up the corresponding Rekor log entry and verify the signature;<br> Verify the trusted builder identity by extracting it from the signing certificate;<br> Check that the provenance information matches the expected source and build.<br> See an <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/slsa-framework/slsa-github-generator-go">example in action</a> in the official repository. Performing these steps guarantees to the consumer that the binary was produced in the trusted builder at a given commit hash attested to in the provenance. They can trust that the information in the provenance was non-forgeable, allowing them to trust the build “recipe” and trace their artifact verifiably back to the source.<br> Extra Bonus: Keyless signing<br> One extra benefit of this method is that maintainers don’t need to manage or distribute cryptographic keys for signing, avoiding the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://caremad.io/posts/2013/07/packaging-signing-not-holy-grail/">notoriously difficult problem</a> of key management. The OIDC protocol requires no hardcoded, long-term secrets be stored in GitHub's secrets, which sidesteps the potential problem of key mismanagement invalidating the SLSA provenance. Consumers simply use OIDC to verify that the binary artifact was built from a trusted builder that produced the expected provenance.<br> Next Steps<br> Utilizing the SLSA framework is a proven way for ensuring software supply-chain integrity at scale. This prototype shows that achieving high SLSA levels is easier than ever thanks to the newest features of popular CI/CD systems and open-source tooling. Increased adoption of tamper-safe (SLSA 3+) build services will contribute to a stronger open-source ecosystem and help close one easily exploited gap in the current supply chain. We encourage testing and adoption and welcome any improvements to the project. Please share feedback, comments and suggestions at <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/slsa-framework/slsa-github-generator-go">slsa-github-generator-go</a> and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/slsa-framework/slsa-verifier">slsa-verifier</a> project repositories. We will officially release v1 in a few weeks! In follow-up posts, we will demonstrate adding non-forgeable source provenance attesting to secure repository settings, and showcase the same techniques for other build toolchains and package managers, etc. Stay tuned!<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/con/encephalon/bamboozle/20220407-160549/ Thu, 07 Apr 2022 16:05:48 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/con/encephalon/bamboozle/20220407-160549/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://devopsindiasummit.com//?utm_source=owasp-web&utm_medium=event-page&utm_campaign=none">DevOps India Summit 2022</a><br></p> <hr> India<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/lang/gnawing/kingfish/20220407-160102/ Thu, 07 Apr 2022 16:01:01 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/lang/gnawing/kingfish/20220407-160102/ 04-20 <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.python.org/events/python-user-group/1252/">Meet the NZPUG PRESIDENT</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/traveling/splay/20220407-121723/ Thu, 07 Apr 2022 12:17:23 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/traveling/splay/20220407-121723/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/07/science/astronomers-distant-galaxy.html">Out There Astronomers Find What Might Be the Most Distant Galaxy Yet Is the object a galaxy of primordial stars or a black hole knocking on the door of time?

But few organizations have a playbook for responding to the kinds of virtual “smash and grab” attacks we’ve seen recently from LAPSUS$, a juvenile data extortion group whose short-lived, low-tech and remarkably effective tactics have put some of the world’s biggest corporations on edge.<br> Since surfacing in late 2021, LAPSUS$ has <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/03/a-closer-look-at-the-lapsus-data-extortion-group/">gained access to the networks or contractors</a> for some of the world’s largest technology companies, including Microsoft , NVIDIA , Okta and Samsung . LAPSUS$ typically threatens to release sensitive data unless paid a ransom, but with most victims the hackers ended up publishing any information they stole (mainly computer source code).<br> Microsoft <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.microsoft.com/security/blog/2022/03/22/dev-0537-criminal-actor-targeting-organizations-for-data-exfiltration-and-destruction/">blogged about its attack</a> at the hands of LAPSUS$, and about the group targeting its customers. It found LAPSUS$ used a variety of old-fashioned techniques that seldom show up in any corporate breach post-mortems, such as:<br> -targeting employees at their personal email addresses and phone numbers; -offering to pay $20,000 a week to employees who give up remote access credentials; -social engineering help desk and customer support employees at targeted companies; -bribing/tricking employees at mobile phone stores to hijack a target’s phone number; -intruding on their victims’ crisis communications calls post-breach.<br> If these tactics sound like something you might sooner expect from spooky, state-sponsored “Advanced Persistent Threat” or <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.mandiant.com/resources/apt-groups">APT groups</a> , consider that the core LAPSUS$ members are thought to range in age from 15 to 21. Also, LAPSUS$ operates on a shoestring budget and is <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/BillDemirkapi/status/1508527487655067660">anything but stealthy</a> : According to Microsoft, LAPSUS$ doesn’t seem to cover its tracks or hide its activity. In fact, the group often announces its hacks on social media.<br> ADVANCED PERSISTENT TEENAGERS<br> This unusual combination makes LAPSUS$ something of an aberration that is probably more aptly referred to as “ Advanced Persistent Teenagers ,” said one CXO at a large organization that recently had a run-in with LAPSUS$.<br> “There is a lot of speculation about how good they are, tactics et cetera, but I think it’s more than that,” said the CXO, who spoke about the incident on condition of anonymity. “They put together an approach that industry thought suboptimal and unlikely. So it’s their golden hour.”<br> LAPSUS$ seems to have conjured some worst-case scenarios in the minds of many security experts, who worry what will happen when more organized cybercriminal groups start adopting these techniques.<br> “LAPSUS$ has shown that with only $25,000, a group of teenagers could get into organizations with mature cybersecurity practices,” said Amit Yoran , CEO of security firm <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.tenable.com">Tenable</a> and a former federal cybersecurity czar, testifying last week before the House Homeland Security Committee . “With much deeper pockets, focus, and mission, targeting critical infrastructure. That should be a sobering, if not terrifying, call to action.”<br> My CXO source said LAPSUS$ succeeds because they simply refuse to give up, and just keep trying until someone lets them in.<br> “They would just keep jamming a few individuals to get [remote] access, read some onboarding documents, enroll a new 2FA [two-factor authentication method] and exfiltrate code or secrets, like a smash-and-grab,” the CXO said. “These guys were not <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/2333149/are-you-l33t-.html#:~:text=The%20word%20%22l33t%22%20itself%20(,(also%20%22llama%22).">leet</a> , just damn persistent.” <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/04/the-original-apt-advanced-persistent-teenagers/#more-59085">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/04/the-original-apt-advanced-persistent-teenagers/">The Original APT: Advanced Persistent Teenagers</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220406-200508/ Wed, 06 Apr 2022 20:05:07 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220406-200508/ <ol> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://openai.com/dall-e-2/">Dall-E 2</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=openai.com">openai.com</a> )<br></li> </ol> https://www.whatsupup.com/con/burbly/prefecture/20220406-200430/ Wed, 06 Apr 2022 20:04:30 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/con/burbly/prefecture/20220406-200430/ Industry Partner and Media Sponsor<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/projects/dusked/jubilate/20220406-161301/ Wed, 06 Apr 2022 16:13:00 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/projects/dusked/jubilate/20220406-161301/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://deno.com/blog/a-whole-website-in-a-single-js-file">A Whole Website in a Single JavaScript File Explanation and making of a website in a single JavaScript file</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/projects/disjointing/conjunctival/20220406-161137/ Wed, 06 Apr 2022 16:11:37 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/projects/disjointing/conjunctival/20220406-161137/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="http://demoscene-the-art-of-coding.net/2022/04/06/regular-meetups/">Regular meetups.</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/tussled/saved/20220406-160549/ Wed, 06 Apr 2022 16:05:48 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/tussled/saved/20220406-160549/ <p><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/transitive-bullshit">Travis Fischer</a><br></p> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/transitive-bullshit">transitive-bullshit</a><br> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/nextjs-notion-starter-kit">nextjs-notion-starter-kit</a><br> <hr> Deploy your own Notion-powered website in minutes with Next.js and Vercel.<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/Lissy93">Alicia Sykes</a><br> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/Lissy93">Lissy93</a><br> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/Lissy93/personal-security-checklist">personal-security-checklist</a><br> <hr> A curated checklist of 300+ tips for protecting digital security and privacy in 2021<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/ajayyy">Ajay Ramachandran</a><br> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/ajayyy">ajayyy</a><br> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock">SponsorBlock</a><br> <hr> Skip YouTube video sponsors (browser extension)<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/news/denominate/telecast/20220406-120623/ Wed, 06 Apr 2022 12:06:23 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/news/denominate/telecast/20220406-120623/ Start the day here <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="http://www.cnn.com/2022/04/06/us/five-things-april-6-trnd/index.html">US to announce new sanctions on Russia.

Since then, we have made sure that the high-profile projects that we maintain made the required changes to abide by it.

Increased rewards for Google Nest & Fitbit devices</a><br></p> <hr> Posted by Medha Jain, Program Manager, Devices & Services Security<br> At Google, we constantly invest in security research to raise the bar for our devices, keeping our users safe and building their trust in our products. In 2021, we published <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://safety.google/nest/">Google Nest security commitments</a> , in which we committed to engage with the research community to examine our products and services and report vulnerabilities. We are now looking to deepen this relationship and accelerate the path toward building more secure devices. Starting today, we will introduce a new vulnerability rewards structure for submissions impacting <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://store.google.com/category/connected_home?e=SharedFeatureEnablePolarisNavTest%3A%3ALaunch&hl=en-US">smart home</a> (Google Nest) and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://store.google.com/category/fitbit?e=SharedFeatureEnablePolarisNavTest%3A%3ALaunch&hl=en-US">wearables</a> (Fitbit) devices through our <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://bughunters.google.com/about">Bug Hunters</a> platform. Bonus!<br> We are paying higher rewards retroactively for eligible Google Nest and Fitbit devices reports submitted in 2021. And, starting today, for the next six months, will double the reward amount for all new eligible reports applicable to Google Nest & Fitbit devices in scope. We will continue to take reports on our web applications, services, and mobile apps at their existing reward levels. Please keep those coming! An enhanced rewards program<br> Building on our previous programs to improve devices' embedded security posture, we’re bringing all our first-party devices under a single program, starting with Google Nest, Fitbit, and Pixel. This program extends the Android Security Reward Program, making it easier for researchers to submit a vulnerability in first-party devices and improving consistency across our severity assignments. Refer to the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://bughunters.google.com/about/rules/6171833274204160/android-security-rewards-program-rules">Android and Google Devices Security Reward Program</a> for more details. What interests us?<br> We encourage researchers to report firmware, system software, and hardware vulnerabilities. Our wide diversity of platforms provides researchers with a smorgasbord of environments to explore. What's next?<br> We will be at the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="http://Hardwear.io">Hardwear.io</a> conference this year! The VRP team is looking forward to meeting our security peers in person. We’ll be talking about the architecture of a couple of our devices, hoping to give security researchers a head start in finding vulnerabilities. We’ll have plenty of swag, too!

Today, one of the U.S. Senate’s most tech-savvy lawmakers said he was troubled by the report and is now asking technology companies and federal agencies for information about the frequency of such schemes.<br> At issue are forged “emergency data requests,” (EDRs) sent through hacked police or government agency email accounts. Tech companies usually require a search warrant or subpoena before providing customer or user data, but any police jurisdiction can use an EDR to request immediate access to data without a warrant, provided the law enforcement entity attests that the request is related to an urgent matter of life and death.<br> As Tuesday’s story showed, hackers have figured out there is no quick and easy way for a company that receives one of these EDRs to know whether it is legitimate. After all, there are roughly 18,000 distinct police organizations in the United States alone, and many thousands of government and police agencies worldwide.<br> Criminal hackers exploiting that ambiguity are enjoying remarkable success rates gaining access to the data they’re after, and some are now selling EDRs as a service to other crooks online.<br> This week’s piece included confirmation from social media platform Discord about a fraudulent EDR they recently processed. On Wednesday, Bloomberg <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-30/apple-meta-gave-user-data-to-hackers-who-forged-legal-requests">published a story</a> confirming that both Apple and Meta/Facebook have recently complied with fake EDRs.<br> Today, KrebsOnSecurity heard from Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), who said he was moved to action after reading this week’s coverage.<br> “Recent news reports have revealed an enormous threat to Americans’ safety and national security,” Wyden said in a statement provided to KrebsOnSecurity. “I’m particularly troubled by the prospect that forged emergency orders may be coming from compromised foreign law enforcement agencies, and then used to target vulnerable individuals.”<br> “I’m requesting information from tech companies and multiple federal agencies to learn more about how emergency data requests are being abused by hackers,” Wyden’s statement continues. “No one wants tech companies to refuse legitimate emergency requests when someone’s safety is at stake, but the current system has clear weaknesses that need to be addressed. Fraudulent government requests are a significant concern, which is why I’ve already authored legislation to stamp out forged warrants and subpoenas.” <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/03/fake-emergency-search-warrants-draw-scrutiny-from-capitol-hill/#more-59209">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/03/fake-emergency-search-warrants-draw-scrutiny-from-capitol-hill/">Fake Emergency Search Warrants Draw Scrutiny from Capitol Hill</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/palpable/mulla/20220401-080641/ Fri, 01 Apr 2022 08:06:41 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/palpable/mulla/20220401-080641/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://wh0.github.io/2022/03/31/finally.html">A kitchen without “finally” blocks</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/news/nonabsorbent/freaking/20220401-040945/ Fri, 01 Apr 2022 04:09:44 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/news/nonabsorbent/freaking/20220401-040945/ <p>Franck Fife/AFP via Getty Images<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.npr.org/2022/03/31/1090080198/covid-19-diabetes-increased-risk">COVID-19 infection increases your risk for diabetes, a new study says</a><br></p> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.npr.org/2022/03/31/1090080198/covid-19-diabetes-increased-risk">Researchers found that people who had COVID-19 were about 40% more likely to develop diabetes within a year after recovering, compared to participants in a control group.</a><br> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.npr.org/2022/03/30/1089608854/covid-gov-new-website-offers-a-single-stop-for-covid-info-tests-and-treatment">March 30, 2022 • The new government website includes a locator tool for more than 2,000 sites to access "test to treat" services for COVID.

Any editorial opinions reflected below are solely Project Zero’s and do not necessarily reflect those of the organizations we collaborated with during this research.<br> Late last year <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2021/12/a-deep-dive-into-nso-zero-click.html">we published a writeup</a> of the initial remote code execution stage of FORCEDENTRY, the zero-click iMessage exploit attributed by Citizen Lab to NSO. By sending a .gif iMessage attachment (which was really a PDF) NSO were able to remotely trigger a heap buffer overflow in the ImageIO JBIG2 decoder. They used that vulnerability to bootstrap a powerful <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weird_machine">weird machine</a> capable of loading the next stage in the infection process: the sandbox escape.<br> In this post we'll take a look at that sandbox escape. It's notable for using only logic bugs. In fact it's unclear where the features that it uses end and the vulnerabilities which it abuses begin. Both current and upcoming state-of-the-art mitigations such as Pointer Authentication and Memory Tagging have no impact at all on this sandbox escape.<br> An observation<br> During our initial analysis of the .gif file Samuel noticed that rendering the image appeared to leak memory. Running the heap tool after releasing all the associated resources gave the following output:<br> $ heap $pid<br> ------------------------------------------------------------<br> All zones: 4631 nodes (826336 bytes)<br> COUNT    BYTES     AVG   CLASS_NAME   TYPE   BINARY<br> =====    =====     ===   ==========   ====   ======<br> 1969   469120   238.3   non-object<br> 825    26400    32.0   JBIG2Bitmap  C++   CoreGraphics<br> heap was able to determine that the leaked memory contained JBIG2Bitmap objects.<br> Using the -address option we could find all the individual leaked bitmap objects:<br> $ heap -address JBIG2Bitmap $pid<br> and dump them out to files.

Definitely not what you'd expect to see in a JBIG2Bitmap object. Running strings we see plenty of interesting things (noting that the URL below is redacted):<br> Objective-C class and selector names:<br> NSFunctionExpression<br> NSConstantValueExpression<br> NSConstantValue<br> expressionValueWithObject:context:<br> filteredArrayUsingPredicate:<br> _web_removeFileOnlyAtPath:<br> context:evaluateMobileSubscriberIdentity:<br> performSelectorOnMainThread:withObject:waitUntilDone:<br> The name of the file which delivered the exploit:<br> XXX.gif<br> Filesystems paths:<br> /tmp/com.apple.messages<br> /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SlideshowKit.framework/Frameworks/OpusFoundation.framework<br> a URL:<br> https://XXX.cloudfront.net/YYY/ZZZ/megalodon?AAA<br> Using plutil we can convert the bplist00 binary format to XML. Performing some post-processing and cleanup we can see that the top-level object in the NSKeyedArchiver is a serialized NSFunctionExpression object.<br> NSExpression NSPredicate NSExpression<br> If you've ever used Core Data or tried to filter a Objective-C collection you might have come across NSPredicates . <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nspredicate?language=objc">According to Apple's public documentation</a> they are used " to define logical conditions for constraining a search for a fetch or for in-memory filtering " .<br> For example, in Objective-C you could filter an NSArray object like this:<br> NSArray* names = @[@"one", @"two", @"three"];<br> NSPredicate* pred;<br> pred = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:<br> @" SELF beginswith[c] 't' "];<br> NSLog(@"%@", [names filteredArrayUsingPredicate:pred]);<br> The predicate is " SELF beginswith[c] 't'" . This prints an NSArray containing only " two " and " three ".<br> [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat] builds a predicate object by parsing a small query language, a little like an SQL query.<br> NSPredicates can be built up from NSExpressions , connected by NSComparisonPredicates (like less-than, greater-than and so on.)<br> NSExpressions themselves can be fairly complex, containing aggregate expressions (like " IN " and " CONTAINS "), subqueries, set expressions, and, most interestingly, function expressions.<br> Prior to 2007 (in OS X 10.4 and below) function expressions were limited to just the following five extra built-in methods: sum , count , min , max , and average .<br> But starting in OS X 10.5 (which would also be around the launch of iOS in 2007) NSFunctionExpressions were extended <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsexpression">to allow</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsexpression">arbitrary</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsexpression">method invocations</a> with the FUNCTION keyword:<br> "FUNCTION('abc', 'stringByAppendingString', 'def')" => @"abcdef"<br> FUNCTION takes a target object, a selector and an optional list of arguments then invokes the selector on the object, passing the arguments. In this case it will allocate an NSString object @"abc" then invoke the stringByAppendingString: selector passing the NSString @"def" , which will evaluate to the NSString @"abcdef" .<br> In addition to the FUNCTION keyword there's CAST which allows full reflection-based access to all Objective-C types (as opposed to just being able to invoke selectors on literal strings and integers):<br> " FUNCTION(CAST('NSFileManager', 'Class'), 'defaultManager')"<br> Here we can get access to the NSFileManager class and call the defaultManager selector to get a reference to a process's shared file manager instance.<br> These keywords exist in the string representation of NSPredicates and NSExpressions . Parsing those strings involves creating a graph of NSExpression objects, NSPredicate objects and their subclasses like NSFunctionExpression . It's a serialized version of such a graph which is present in the JBIG2 bitmap.<br> NSPredicates using the FUNCTION keyword are effectively Objective-C scripts. With some tricks it's possible to build nested function calls which can do almost anything you could do in procedural Objective-C. Figuring out some of those tricks was the key to the 2019 <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://realworldctf.com/">Real World CTF</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/ChiChou/DezhouInstrumenz/">DezhouInstrumenz</a> challenge, which would evaluate an attacker supplied NSExpression format string. The <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.chichou.me/2021/01/16/see-no-eval-runtime-code-execution-objc/">writeup by the challenge author</a> is a great introduction to these ideas and I'd strongly recommend reading that now if you haven't. The rest of this post builds on the tricks described in that post.<br> A tale of two parts<br> The only job of the JBIG2 logic gate machine described in the previous blog post is to cause the deserialization and evaluation of an embedded NSFunctionExpression . No attempt is made to get native code execution, ROP, JOP or any similar technique.<br> Prior to iOS 14.5 the isa field of an Objective-C object was not protected by Pointer Authentication Codes ( PAC) , so the JBIG2 machine builds a fake Objective-C object with a fake isa such that the invocation of the dealloc selector causes the deserialization and evaluation of the NSFunctionExpression . This is very similar to the technique used by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2020/01/remote-iphone-exploitation-part-3.html">Samuel in the 2020 SLOP post</a> .<br> This NSFunctionExpression has two purposes:<br> Firstly, it allocates and leaks an ASMKeepAlive object then tries to cover its tracks by finding and deleting the .gif file which delivered the exploit.<br> Secondly, it builds a payload NSPredicate object then triggers a logic bug to get that NSPredicate object evaluated in the CommCenter process, reachable from the IMTranscoderAgent sandbox via the com.apple.commcenter.xpc NSXPC service.<br> Let's look at those two parts separately:<br> Covering tracks<br> The outer level NSFunctionExpression calls performSelectorOnMainThread:withObject:waitUntilDone which in turn calls makeObjectsPerformSelector:@"expressionValueWithObject:context:" on an NSArray of four NSFunctionExpressions . This allows the four independent NSFunctionExpressions to be evaluated sequentially.<br> With some manual cleanup we can recover pseudo-Objective-C versions of the serialized NSFunctionExpressions .<br> The first one does this:<br> [[AMSKeepAlive alloc] initWithName:"KA"]<br> This allocates and then leaks an AppleMediaServices KeepAlive object . The exact purpose of this is unclear.<br> The second entry does this:<br> [[NSFileManager defaultManager] _web_removeFileOnlyAtPath:<br> [@"/tmp/com.apple.messages" stringByAppendingPathComponent:<br> [ [ [ [<br> [NSFileManager defaultManager]<br> enumeratorAtPath: @"/tmp/com.apple.messages"<br> ]<br> allObjects<br> [<br> [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:<br> [@"SELF ENDSWITH '"<br> stringByAppendingString: "XXX.gif"]<br> stringByAppendingString: "'"<br> ]   ] ] ]<br> firstObject<br> Reading these single expression NSFunctionExpressions is a little tricky; breaking that down into a more procedural form it's equivalent to this:<br> NSFileManager* fm = [NSFileManager defaultManager];<br> NSDirectoryEnumerator* dir_enum;<br> dir_enum = [fm enumeratorAtPath: @"/tmp/com.apple.messages"]<br> NSArray* allTmpFiles = [dir_enum allObjects];<br> NSString* filter;<br> filter = ["@"SELF ENDSWITH '" stringByAppendingString: "XXX.gif"];<br> filter = [filter stringByAppendingString: "'"];<br> pred = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat: filter]<br> NSArray* matches;<br> matches = [allTmpFiles filteredArrayUsingPredicate: pred];<br> NSString* gif_subpath = [matches firstObject];<br> NSString* root = @"/tmp/com.apple.messages";<br> NSString* full_path;<br> full_path = [root stringByAppendingPathComponent: gifSubpath];<br> [fm _web_removeFileOnlyAtPath: full_path];<br> This finds the XXX.gif file used to deliver the exploit which iMessage has stored somewhere under the /tmp/com.apple.messages folder and deletes it .<br> The other … https://www.whatsupup.com/projects/dusked/jubilate/20220331-161451/ Thu, 31 Mar 2022 16:14:50 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/projects/dusked/jubilate/20220331-161451/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://deno.com/blog/supabase-functions-on-deno-deploy">Supabase Functions on Deno Deploy Supabase developers can now deploy global edge functions on Deno Deploy.</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/fisher/trilobate/20220331-160702/ Thu, 31 Mar 2022 16:07:00 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/fisher/trilobate/20220331-160702/ <p><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/opengs/uashield">opengs / uashield</a><br></p> <hr> Voluntary Ukraine security platform to protect us from Russian forces in the Internet<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/techchipnet/CamPhish">techchipnet / CamPhish</a><br> <hr> Grab cam shots from target's phone front camera or PC webcam just sending a link.<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/tussled/saved/20220331-160631/ Thu, 31 Mar 2022 16:06:31 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/tussled/saved/20220331-160631/ <p><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/devxoul">devxoul</a><br></p> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/devxoul/Then">Then</a><br> <hr> Super sweet syntactic sugar for Swift initializers<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/news/denominate/telecast/20220331-120656/ Thu, 31 Mar 2022 12:06:56 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/news/denominate/telecast/20220331-120656/ Start the day here <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="http://www.cnn.com/2022/03/31/us/five-things-march-31-trnd/index.html">More states eye abortion restrictions.

It involves compromising email accounts and websites tied to police departments and government agencies, and then sending unauthorized demands for subscriber data while claiming the information being requested can’t wait for a court order because it relates to an urgent matter of life and death.<br> In the United States, when federal, state or local law enforcement agencies wish to obtain information about who owns an account at a social media firm, or what Internet addresses a specific cell phone account has used in the past, they must submit an official court-ordered warrant or subpoena.<br> Virtually all major technology companies serving large numbers of users online have departments that routinely review and process such requests, which are typically granted as long as the proper documents are provided and the request appears to come from an email address connected to an actual police department domain name.<br> But in certain circumstances — such as a case involving imminent harm or death — an investigating authority may make what’s known as an Emergency Data Request (EDR), which largely bypasses any official review and does not require the requestor to supply any court-approved documents.<br> It is now clear that some hackers have figured out there is no quick and easy way for a company that receives one of these EDRs to know whether it is legitimate. Using their illicit access to police email systems, the hackers will send a fake EDR along with an attestation that innocent people will likely suffer greatly or die unless the requested data is provided immediately.<br> In this scenario, the receiving company finds itself caught between two unsavory outcomes: Failing to immediately comply with an EDR — and potentially having someone’s blood on their hands — or possibly leaking a customer record to the wrong person.<br> “We have a legal process to compel production of documents, and we have a streamlined legal process for police to get information from ISPs and other providers,” said Mark Rasch , a former prosecutor with the U.S. Department of Justice .<br> “And then we have this emergency process, almost like you see on [the television series] Law & Order, where they say they need certain information immediately,” Rasch continued. “Providers have a streamlined process where they publish the fax or contact information for police to get emergency access to data. But there’s no real mechanism defined by most Internet service providers or tech companies to test the validity of a search warrant or subpoena. And so as long as it looks right, they’ll comply.”<br> To make matters more complicated, there are tens of thousands of police jurisdictions around the world — including roughly <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_enforcement_in_the_United_States#:~:text=There%20are%2017%2C985%20U.S.%20police,and%20federal%20law%20enforcement%20agencies.">18,000 in the United States alone</a> — and all it takes for hackers to succeed is illicit access to a single police email account.<br> THE LAPSUS$ CONNECTION<br> The reality that teenagers are now impersonating law enforcement agencies to subpoena privileged data on their targets at whim is evident in the dramatic backstory behind LAPSUS$ , the data extortion group that <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/03/a-closer-look-at-the-lapsus-data-extortion-group/">recently hacked into some of the world’s most valuable technology companies</a> , including Microsoft , Okta , NVIDIA and Vodafone .<br> In <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.microsoft.com/security/blog/2022/03/22/dev-0537-criminal-actor-targeting-organizations-for-data-exfiltration-and-destruction/">a blog post</a> about their recent hack, Microsoft said LAPSUS$ succeeded against its targets through a combination of low-tech attacks, mostly involving old-fashioned social engineering — such as bribing employees at or contractors for the target organization.<br> “Other tactics include phone-based social engineering; <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/?s=sim+swapping">SIM-swapping</a> to facilitate account takeover; accessing personal email accounts of employees at target organizations; paying employees, suppliers, or business partners of target organizations for access to credentials and multi-factor authentication (MFA) approval; and intruding in the ongoing crisis-communication calls of their targets,” Microsoft wrote of LAPSUS$.<br> The roster of the now-defunct “Infinity Recursion” hacking team, from which some members of LAPSUS$ allegedly hail.<br> Researchers from security firms <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.unit221b.com">Unit 221B</a> and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.paloaltonetworks.com">Palo Alto Networks</a> say that prior to launching LAPSUS$, the group’s leader “White” (a.k.a. “WhiteDoxbin,” “Oklaqq”) was a founding member of a cybercriminal group calling itself the “ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210410013319/http://recursion.team/">Recursion Team.</a> ” This group specialized in SIM swapping targets of interest and participating in <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/?s=swatting">“swatting” attacks</a> , wherein fake bomb threats, hostage situations and other violent scenarios are phoned in to police as part of a scheme to trick them into visiting potentially deadly force on a target’s address.<br> The founder of the Recursion Team was a then 14-year-old from the United Kingdom who used the handle “ Everlynn .” On April 5, 2021, Everlynn posted a new sales thread to the cybercrime forum cracked[.]to titled, “Warrant/subpoena service (get law enforcement data from any service).” The price: $100 to $250 per request.<br> Everlynn advertising a warrant/subpoena service based on fake EDRs. Image: Ke-la.com.<br> “Services [include] Apple, Snapchat, Google (more expensive), not doing Discord, basically any site mostly,” read Everlynn’s ad, which was posted by the user account “InfinityRecursion.”<br> A month prior on Cracked, Everlynn posted a sales thread, “1x Government Email Account || BECOME A FED!,” which advertised the ability to send email from a federal agency within the government of Argentina.<br> “I would like to sell a government email that can be used for subpoena for many companies such as Apple, Uber, Instagram, etc.,” Everlynn’s sales thread explained, setting the price at $150. “You can breach users and get private images from people on SnapChat like nudes, go hack your girlfriend or something haha. You won’t get the login for the account, but you’ll basically obtain everything in the account if you play your cards right. I am not legally responsible if you mishandle this. This is very illegal and you will get raided if you don’t use a vpn. You can also breach into the government systems for this, and find LOTS of more private data and sell it for way, way more.”<br> Last week, the BBC reported that authorities in the United Kingdom <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-60864283">had detained seven individuals aged 16 to 21</a> in connection with LAPSUS$. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/03/hackers-gaining-power-of-subpoena-via-fake-emergency-data-requests/#more-59088">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/03/hackers-gaining-power-of-subpoena-via-fake-emergency-data-requests/">Hackers Gaining Power of Subpoena Via Fake “Emergency Data Requests”</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/con/encephalon/bamboozle/20220329-160426/ Tue, 29 Mar 2022 16:04:25 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/con/encephalon/bamboozle/20220329-160426/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://sikkerhetsfestivalen.no/?utm_source=owasp-web&utm_medium=event-page&utm_campaign=none">Sikkerhets Festivalen 2022</a><br></p> <hr> Norway<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/buckeroo/doubling/20220329-121546/ Tue, 29 Mar 2022 12:15:46 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/buckeroo/doubling/20220329-121546/ March 29, 2022 <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://drewdevault.com/2022/03/29/free-software-free-infrastructure.html">It is important for free software to use free software infrastructure</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/news/denominate/telecast/20220329-120545/ Tue, 29 Mar 2022 12:05:45 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/news/denominate/telecast/20220329-120545/ Start the day here <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/29/us/five-things-march-29-trnd/index.html">Jared Kushner is expected to speak to the Jan. 6 committee this week.

Note taking systems are not an end unto themselves.<br> Roughly speaking, my essential requirements are:<br> Something that works with plain text, and ideally supports Markdown as that is the syntax I publish most things in and I am most familiar with.<br> Something that can be used from Emacs, because that’s where I do most my text editing and writing.<br> Something that stores a note per file. This has just proved to be the most future-proof way.<br> Some basic means of connecting notes.<br> I found I don’t need these things:<br> Support for direct HTML publishing, as I realized that most of my notes are written for myself and I’ll put them up somewhere else for publishing. (This usually involves prior editing anyway.)<br> Having a fancy UI and graph displays. I consider these goodies I can easily go without.<br> Specialized productivity features like to-do lists, date scheduling or time tracking. These are out of scope for my use: I use a regular calendar for things with a deadline (which I’m blessed to have very few of) and will stick to simple to-do lists for my personal projects.<br> Many people would recommend me <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://orgmode.org/">org-mode</a> now, but I’ve never been a fan of its clunky syntax and I really don’t need most of the features. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.orgroam.com/">org-roam</a> at first looked promising but linking between notes is quite complicated and the database dependency seems to be overkill for a personal note taking system on modern hardware.<br> I decided to settle on <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="http://howm.osdn.jp/">howm</a> , an Emacs mode that is not very well-known in the Western world but has gained a certain following in Japan.<br> It’s a roughly 20-year-old Emacs mode that’s still being used and maintained by its original author Kazuyuki Hiraoka, so I have confidence it will be around for some more time. You can format notes however you like, so I can use Markdown as I prefer. Notes are one file per note by default (but see below). It actually has features for date scheduling and to-do lists, but I won’t go deeper into them for now. Its code is reasonable simple and well structured, so I was able to extend it in a few ways easily, as I’ll detail at the end of this post.<br> What really sold me was this quote I found on the mailing list:<br> I cannot show a good general guide because I’m lazy, loose, and bad at tidying. I’ve already given up well-ordered notes. Howm may be suitable for those who are tired from strict systems.<br> — Kazuyuki Hiraoka<br> Such an undogmatic system is just right for my purposes.<br> How howm works<br> Since there are very few resources in English that explain howm (apart from this <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20060409123241/http://dto.twu.net/HowmTutorial.howm.html">2006 article</a> that got lost in time), I shall give a quick introduction for the interested reader:<br> howm is short for “Hitori Otegaru Wiki Modoki”, which roughly translates to “Single-user Easy Wiki Mode”.<br> The basic feature set of howm is very simple, and can be condensed into the mantra “write fragmentarily and read collectively”. Essentially, howm provides an Emacs minor mode for marking text to trigger certain searches. Since it is a minor mode, you can use whatever major mode you like to use for your writing (e.g., I currently use<br> markdown-mode<br> Howm notes are kept in a directory hierarchy that you can organize how you wish; by default a date-based system is used and filenames include the current timestamp at creation. This provides unique and sensible note identifiers, so I stick to it. You also can create explicitly named note files, but I haven’t found a use for them yet.<br> There are two essential kinds of markup howm cares about: note titles and links. By default, titles are marked up by putting a ‘<br> =<br> ’ at the beginning of the line, but this can be configured (and must be done so before loading<br> howm-mode<br> (!)). The benefit of adding a title to a note is that you can have the summary buffer show titles instead of matching lines, which can be helpful to get a better overview of search results. (The creator of howm is sceptical of titling all notes, I think it very much depends the average length of your notes. There is no requirement to use titles.)<br> There are two kinds of links supported by howm, namely goto and come-from (in a nod to INTERCAL). goto links are forward references and written like this:<br> >>> howm<br> Pressing return on this line when<br> is enabled will show a list of all occurences of the word<br> howm<br> in your notes directory.<br> In contrast, a come-from link is written like this:<br> <<< howm<br> And this will cause the word<br> in any howm-mode buffer to be underlined and trigger a search where the buffer with<br> will appear first.<br> Thus, compared to most contemporary hypertext systems, we not only have a means of explicitly linking to other notes, but also for creating implicit contextual links—which can help you find connections between your notes that you didn’t see yet…<br> It is straightforward to implement something like<br> #tags<br> WikiWords<br> using these features, if you wish to do so.<br> Additionally, howm provides an inline link syntax<br> [[...]]<br> that works like<br> >>><br> but can appear within a line. I make a suggestion below how to turn it into a direct link to the first page with the given title; but for now I decided not to use this very much.<br> The line-based nature of the<br> syntax prevents usage for “inline” links. After giving it some thought, I consider it a strength for a note-taking system to make forward links related to a paragraph and not part of a sentence. Additionally, it also makes the plain text easier to read as the link target is not interleaved into the text. (Compare with the use of reference-style links in Markdown.)<br> An aside: howm actually supports multiple notes per file by having multiple title lines in a file. The search summary will always show the title directly before the matching line. You can use<br> C-c , C<br> to create a new note in the current buffer. I don’t use this much, but I think it could be useful for glossary files that contain many short notes. Some people also use this for keeping multiple daily notes in a single file.<br> Using howm<br> Howm provides two main features to access notes: the menu and the summary buffer. The howm menu (shown with<br> C-c , ,<br> ) provides a very customizable view into your howm notes. By default it shows your schedule, recent notes, and random notes. You can access many howm features with a single keypress from the menu. Since I don’t use the scheduling feature, I mostly access howm from the summary buffer instead.<br> The howm summary buffer shows the result of a search (<br> C-c , g<br> ), a list of recent notes (<br> C-c , l<br> ), or an overview of all notes (<br> C-c , a<br> ). It is very convenient to see the matches and you get a preview of the note when you move the cursor to a search result. Typing RET will open the note for editing. Typing<br> T<br> will toggle between displaying matching lines or the titles of notes with matches.<br> In the summary buffer, you can also type<br> @<br> and read all matching notes in a concatenated way, so you get the full context of all notes at once.<br> Setting up and customizing howm<br> Basic setup is reasonably well documented in English, but I’ll summarize it here. You can get howm from ELPA these days, so installing is very easy. You should set some variables to configure it according to your needs:<br> ;; Directory configuration (setq howm-home-directory "~/prj/howm/") (setq howm-directory "~/prj/howm/") (setq howm-keyword-file (expand-file-name ".howm-keys" howm-home-directory)) (setq howm-history-file (expand-file-name ".howm-history" howm-home-directory)) (setq howm-file-name-format "%Y/%m/%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S.md")<br> Here, we decide that<br> ~/prj/howm<br> is the base directory for our howm notes, and we also put the two auxiliary files howm uses there. Additionally, we change the default name format to end with<br> .md<br> (which also turns on markdown-mode by default).<br> Next, we want to use <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep">ripgrep</a> for searching howm. For my usage, plain GNU grep would be sufficient, but I want to use ripgrep in the next step too, so for consistency let’s use it for all searches:<br> ;; Use ripgrep as grep (setq howm-view-use-grep t) (setq howm-view-grep-command "rg") (setq howm-view-grep-option "-nH --no-heading --color never") (setq howm-view-grep-extended-option nil) (setq howm-view-grep-fixed-option "-F") (setq howm-view-grep-expr-option nil) (setq howm-view-grep-file-stdin-option nil)<br> The next addition is interactive search with ripgrep (<br> C-c , r<br> ). This is the most useful feature I added to howm myself. I think it provides a great way to interact with your notes, as you get instant feedback from your search terms, and can stop searching as soon as you found what you were looking for. I used<br> counsel-rg<br> as an inspiration for this, and we turn the ripgrep matches into a regular howm summary buffer for further consumption.<br> ;; counsel-rg for howm (defun howm-list--counsel-rg (match) (if (string= match "") (howm-list-all) (if (or (null ivy--old-cands) (equal ivy--old-cands '("No matches found"))) (message "No match") (let ((howm-view-use-grep #'(lambda (str file-list &optional fixed-p force-case-fold) (mapcar (lambda (cand) (if (string-match "\\`\\(.*\\):\\([0-9]+\\):\\(.*\\)\\'" cand) (let ((file (match-string-no-properties 1 cand)) (line (match-string-no-properties 2 cand)) (match-line (match-string-no-properties 3 cand))) (list (expand-file-name file howm-directory) (string-to-number line) match-line)))) ivy--old-cands)))) (howm-search ivy--old-re t) (riffle-set-place … https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220326-200543/ Sat, 26 Mar 2022 20:05:42 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220326-200543/ <ol> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.sofuckingagile.com/blog/mourning-loss-as-a-remote-team">Mourning loss as a remote team</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=sofuckingagile.com">sofuckingagile.com</a> )<br></li> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.vamc19.dev/posts/dockerfile-copy-chmod/"><code>COPY –chmod</code> reduced the size of my container image by 35%</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=vamc19.dev">vamc19.dev</a> )<br> 505 points by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=unmole">unmole</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30808945">16 hours ago</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30808945">140 comments</a><br></li> </ol> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/fisher/trilobate/20220326-120634/ Sat, 26 Mar 2022 12:06:33 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/fisher/trilobate/20220326-120634/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/QMHTMY/RustBook">QMHTMY / RustBook</a><br></p> <hr> A book about Rust Data Structures and Algorithms.<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/seer/hemisphere/20220326-041515/ Sat, 26 Mar 2022 04:15:14 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/seer/hemisphere/20220326-041515/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-00845-6">Exclusive: Documents reveal NASA’s internal struggles over renaming Webb telescope</a><br></p> <hr> E-mails show agency’s controversial response to astronomers concerned about past LGBT+ discrimination.<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/news/spearheading/harden/20220326-001616/ Sat, 26 Mar 2022 00:16:16 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/news/spearheading/harden/20220326-001616/ Join us in San Francisco on May 5th for our 6th annual exploration of the fascinating, obscure, and trivial minutiae of digital security, online rights, and Internet culture.

Prosecutors say the accused also enjoyed a lengthy career of “cashing out” access to hacked bank accounts worldwide.<br> Maksim Berezan , 37, is an Estonian national who was arrested nearly two years ago in Latvia. U.S. authorities alleged Berezan was a longtime member of DirectConnection , a closely-guarded Russian cybercriminal forum that existed until 2015. Berezan’s <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/berezanindict.pdf">indictment</a> (PDF) says he used his status at DirectConnection to secure cashout jobs from other vetted crooks on the exclusive crime forum.<br> Berezan specialized in cashouts and “drops.” Cashouts refer to using stolen payment card data to make fraudulent purchases or to withdraw money from bank accounts without authorization. A drop is a location or individual able to securely receive and forward funds or goods obtained through cashouts or other types of fraud. Drops typically are used to make it harder for law enforcement to trace fraudulent transactions and to circumvent fraud detection measures used by banks and credit card companies.<br> Acting on information from U.S. authorities, in November 2020 Latvian police searched Berezan’s residence there and found a red Porsche Carrera 911, a black Porsche Cayenne, a Ducati motorcycle, and an assortment of jewelry. They also seized $200,000 in currency, and $1.7 million in bitcoin.<br> After Berezan was extradited to the United States in December 2020, investigators searching his electronic devices said they found “significant evidence of his involvement in ransomware activity.”<br> “The post-extradition investigation determined that Berezan had participated in at least 13 ransomware attacks, 7 of which were against U.S. victims, and that approximately $11 million in ransom payments flowed into cryptocurrency wallets that he controlled,” reads <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-edva/pr/cybercriminal-connected-multimillion-dollar-ransomware-attacks-sentenced-online-fraud">a statement</a> from the U.S. Department of Justice .<br> Berezan pleaded guilty in April 2021 to conspiracy to commit wire fraud. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/03/estonian-tied-to-13-ransomware-attacks-gets-66-months-in-prison/#more-59083">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/03/estonian-tied-to-13-ransomware-attacks-gets-66-months-in-prison/">Estonian Tied to 13 Ransomware Attacks Gets 66 Months in Prison</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220326-000513/ Sat, 26 Mar 2022 00:05:13 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220326-000513/ <ol> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://aschmelyun.com/blog/i-built-a-receipt-printer-for-github-issues/">I built a receipt printer for GitHub issues</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=aschmelyun.com">aschmelyun.com</a> )<br> 585 points by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=horsellama">horsellama</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30803589">8 hours ago</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30803589">132 comments</a><br></li> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/25/22995144/microsoft-foreign-corrupt-practices-bribery-whistleblower-contracting">Microsoft is tied to hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign bribes</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=theverge.com">theverge.com</a> )<br></li> </ol> https://www.whatsupup.com/con/ozonizing/briton/20220326-000415/ Sat, 26 Mar 2022 00:04:15 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/con/ozonizing/briton/20220326-000415/ DEF CON is a cash-at-the-door kind of conference.

(While trying to explain to someone how <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=cbcf01128d0a92e131bd09f1688fe032480b65ca">the fix for CVE-2021-0920</a> worked - I was explaining why the Unix GC is now safe, and then got confused because I couldn't actually figure out why it's safe after that fix, eventually realizing that it actually isn't safe.) It's a fairly narrow race window, so I was wondering whether it could be hit with a small number of attempts - especially on kernels that aren't built with CONFIG_PREEMPT , which would make it possible to preempt a thread with another thread, <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://static.sched.com/hosted_files/lsseu2019/04/LSSEU2019%20-%20Exploiting%20race%20conditions%20on%20Linux.pdf#page=12">as I described at LSSEU2019</a> .<br> This is a writeup of how I managed to hit the race on a normal Linux desktop kernel, with a hit rate somewhere around 30% if the proof of concept has been tuned for the specific machine. I didn't do a full exploit though, I stopped at getting evidence of use-after-free (UAF) accesses (with the help of a very large file descriptor table and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://lwn.net/Articles/819834/">userfaultfd</a> , which might not be available to normal users depending on system configuration) because that's the part I was curious about.<br> This also demonstrates that even very small race conditions can still be exploitable if someone sinks enough time into writing an exploit, so be careful if you dismiss very small race windows as unexploitable or don't treat such issues as security bugs.<br> The UAF reproducer is <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=2247#c6">in our bugtracker</a> .<br> In the UNIX domain socket garbage collection code (which is needed to deal with reference loops formed by UNIX domain sockets that use SCM_RIGHTS file descriptor passing), the kernel tries to figure out whether it can account for all references to some file by comparing the file's refcount with the number of references from inflight SKBs (socket buffers). If they are equal, it assumes that the UNIX domain sockets subsystem effectively has exclusive access to the file because it owns all references.<br> (The same pattern also appears for files as an optimization in __fdget_pos() , see <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAG48ez1pnatAB095dnbrn9LbuQe4+ENwh-WEW36pM40ozhpruw@mail.gmail.com/">this LKML thread</a> .)<br> The problem is that struct file can also be referenced from an RCU read-side critical section (which you can't detect by looking at the refcount), and such an RCU reference can be upgraded into a refcounted reference using get_file_rcu() / get_file_rcu_many() by __fget_files() as long as the refcount is non-zero. For example, when this happens in the dup() syscall, the resulting reference will then be installed in the FD table and be available for subsequent syscalls.<br> When the garbage collector (GC) believes that it has exclusive access to a file, it will perform operations on that file that violate the locking rules used in normal socket-related syscalls such as recvmsg() - unix_stream_read_generic() assumes that queued SKBs can only be removed under the ->iolock mutex, but the GC removes queued SKBs without using that mutex. (Thanks to Xingyu Jin for explaining that to me.)<br> One way of looking at this bug is that the GC is working correctly - here's a state diagram showing some of the possible states of a struct file , with more specific states nested under less specific ones and with the state transition in the GC marked:<br> While __fget_files() is making an incorrect assumption about the state of the struct file while it is trying to narrow down its possible states - it checks whether get_file_rcu() / get_file_rcu_many() succeeds, which narrows the file's state down a bit but not far enough:<br> And this directly leads to how <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=054aa8d439b9185d4f5eb9a90282d1ce74772969">the bug was fixed</a> (there's <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=e386dfc56f837da66d00a078e5314bc8382fab83">another follow-up patch</a> , but that one just tries to clarify the code and recoup some of the resulting performance loss) - the fix adds another check in __fget_files() to properly narrow down the state of the file such that the file is guaranteed to be live :<br> The fix ensures that a live reference can only be derived from another live reference by comparing with an FD table entry, which is guaranteed to point to a live object.<br> [Sidenote: This scheme is similar to the one used for struct page - gup_pte_range() also uses the "grab pointer, increment refcount, recheck pointer" pattern for locklessly looking up a struct page from a page table entry while ensuring that new refcounted references can't be created without holding an existing reference. This is really important for struct page because a page can be given back to the page allocator and reused while gup_pte_range() holds an uncounted reference to it - freed pages still have their struct page , so there's no need to delay freeing of the page - so if this went wrong, you'd get a page UAF.]<br> My initial suggestion was to instead fix the issue by changing how unix_gc() ensures that it has exclusive access, letting it set the file's refcount to zero to prevent turning RCU references into refcounted ones; this would have avoided adding any code in the hot __fget_files() path, but it would have only fixed unix_gc() , not the __fdget_pos() case I discovered later, so it's probably a good thing this isn't how it was fixed:<br> [Sidenote: In my original bug report I wrote that you'd have to wait an RCU grace period in the GC for this, but that wouldn't be necessary as long as the GC ensures that a reaped socket's refcount never becomes non-zero again.]<br> The race<br> There are multiple race conditions involved in exploiting this bug, but by far the trickiest to hit is that we have to race an operation into the tiny race window in the middle of __fget_files() (which can e.g. be reached via dup() ), between the file descriptor table lookup and the refcount increment:<br> static struct file *__fget_files(struct files_struct *files, unsigned int fd,<br> fmode_t mask, unsigned int refs)<br> struct file *file;<br> rcu_read_lock();<br> loop:<br> file = files_lookup_fd_rcu(files, fd) ; // race window start<br> if (file) {<br> /* File object ref couldn't be taken.<br> * dup2() atomicity guarantee is the reason<br> * we loop to catch the new file (or NULL pointer)<br> */<br> if (file->f_mode & mask)<br> file = NULL;<br> else if (! get_file_rcu_many(file, refs) ) // race window end<br> goto loop;<br> rcu_read_unlock();<br> return file;<br> In this race window , th e file descriptor must be closed (to drop the FD's reference to the file) and a unix_gc() run must get past the point where it checks the file's refcount (" total_refs = file_count(u->sk.sk_socket->file) ").<br> In the Debian 5.10.0-9-amd64 kernel at version 5.10.70-1, that race window looks as follows:<br> <__fget_files+0x1e> cmp    r10,rax<br> <__fget_files+0x21> sbb    rax,rax<br> <__fget_files+0x24> mov    rdx,QWORD PTR [r11+0x8]<br> <__fget_files+0x28> and    eax,r8d<br> <__fget_files+0x2b> lea    rax,[rdx+rax*8]<br> <__fget_files+0x2f> mov    r12,QWORD PTR [rax] ; RACE WINDOW START<br> ; r12 now contains file*<br> <__fget_files+0x32> test   r12,r12<br> <__fget_files+0x35> je     ffffffff812e3df7 <__fget_files+0x77><br> <__fget_files+0x37> mov    eax,r9d<br> <__fget_files+0x3a> and    eax,DWORD PTR [r12+0x44] ; LOAD (for ->f_mode)<br> <__fget_files+0x3f> jne    ffffffff812e3df7 <__fget_files+0x77><br> <__fget_files+0x41> mov    rax,QWORD PTR [r12+0x38] ; LOAD (for ->f_count)<br> <__fget_files+0x46> lea    rdx,[r12+0x38]<br> <__fget_files+0x4b> test   rax,rax<br> <__fget_files+0x4e> je     ffffffff812e3def <__fget_files+0x6f><br> <__fget_files+0x50> lea    rcx,[rsi+rax*1]<br> <__fget_files+0x54> lock cmpxchg QWORD PTR [rdx],rcx ; RACE WINDOW END (on cmpxchg success)<br> As you can see, the race window is fairly small - around 12 instructions, assuming that the cmpxchg succeeds.<br> Missing some cache<br> Luckily for us, the race window contains the first few memory accesses to the struct file ; therefore, by making sure that the struct file is not present in the fastest CPU caches, we can widen the race window by as much time as the memory accesses take. The standard way to do this is to use an eviction pattern / <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.cs.columbia.edu/~simha/spyjs.ccs15.pdf">eviction set</a> ; but instead we can also make the cache line dirty on another core (see <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://dreamsofastone.blogspot.com/2016/02/row-hammer-java-script-and-mesi.html">Anders Fogh's blogpost</a> for more detail). (I'm not actually sure about the intricacies of how much latency this adds on different manufacturers' CPU cores, or on different CPU generations - I've only tested different versions of my proof-of-concept on Intel Skylake and Tiger Lake. Differences in cache coherency protocols or snooping might make a big difference.)<br> For the cache line containing the flags and refcount of a struct file , this can be done by, on another CPU, temporarily bumping its refcount up and then changing it back down, e.g. with close(dup(fd)) (or just by accessing the FD in pretty much any way from a multithreaded process).<br> However, when we're trying to hit the race in __fget_files() via dup() , we don't want any cache misses to occur before we hit the race window - that would slow us down and probably make us miss the race. To prevent that from happening, we can call dup() with a different FD number for a warm-up run shortly before attempting the race. Because we also want the relevant cache line in the FD table to be hot, we should choose the FD number for the warm-up run such that it uses the same cache line of the file descriptor table.<br> An … https://www.whatsupup.com/news/tastelessly/transmissibility/20220325-000925/ Fri, 25 Mar 2022 00:09:24 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/news/tastelessly/transmissibility/20220325-000925/ US prosecutors say the alleged hackers placed malware in safety systems at energy plants worldwide.<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/news/nonabsorbent/freaking/20220325-000856/ Fri, 25 Mar 2022 00:08:56 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/news/nonabsorbent/freaking/20220325-000856/ <p>Brandon Bell/Getty Images<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.npr.org/2022/03/24/1088669929/airlines-federal-travel-mask-mandate">U.S. airline CEOs call on President Biden to end the federal mask mandate on planes</a><br></p> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.npr.org/2022/03/24/1088669929/airlines-federal-travel-mask-mandate">The CEOs argue that the increase in vaccinations and the lifting of restrictions in other countries should make the Biden administration reconsider the policy for travelers.</a><br> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.npr.org/2022/03/23/1088167753/moderna-covid-19-vaccine-children-fda">March 23, 2022 • No deaths were reported in tests, and there were no signs of myocarditis, or heart inflammation, as a side effect.</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/con/blistery/sanest/20220325-000313/ Fri, 25 Mar 2022 00:03:12 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/con/blistery/sanest/20220325-000313/ Save the date!

Here’s a closer look at LAPSUS$, and some of the low-tech but high-impact methods the group uses to gain access to targeted organizations.<br> First surfacing in December 2021 with an extortion demand on Brazil’s Ministry of Health, LAPSUS$ made headlines more recently for posting screenshots of internal tools tied to a number of major corporations, including NVIDIA, Samsung, and Vodafone.<br> On Tuesday, LAPSUS$ announced via its Telegram channel it was releasing source code stolen from Microsoft. In <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.microsoft.com/security/blog/2022/03/22/dev-0537-criminal-actor-targeting-organizations-for-data-exfiltration-and-destruction/">a blog post</a> published Mar. 22, Microsoft said it interrupted the LAPSUS$ group’s source code download before it could finish, and that it was able to do so because LAPSUS$ publicly discussed their illicit access on their Telegram channel before the download could complete.<br> One of the LAPSUS$ group members admitted on their Telegram channel that the Microsoft source code download had been interrupted.<br> “This public disclosure escalated our action allowing our team to intervene and interrupt the actor mid-operation, limiting broader impact,” Microsoft wrote. “No customer code or data was involved in the observed activities. Our investigation has found a single account had been compromised, granting limited access. Microsoft does not rely on the secrecy of code as a security measure and viewing source code does not lead to elevation of risk.”<br> While it may be tempting to dismiss LAPSUS$ as an immature and fame-seeking group, their tactics should make anyone in charge of corporate security sit up and take notice. Microsoft says LAPSUS$ — which it boringly calls “ DEV-0537 ” — mostly gains illicit access to targets via “social engineering.” This involves bribing or tricking employees at the target organization or at its myriad partners, such as customer support call centers and help desks.<br> “Microsoft found instances where the group successfully gained access to target organizations through recruited employees (or employees of their suppliers or business partners),” Microsoft wrote. The post continues:<br> “DEV-0537 advertised that they wanted to buy credentials for their targets to entice employees or contractors to take part in its operation. For a fee, the willing accomplice must provide their credentials and approve the MFA prompt or have the user install AnyDesk or other remote management software on a corporate workstation allowing the actor to take control of an authenticated system. Such a tactic was just one of the ways DEV-0537 took advantage of the security access and business relationships their target organizations have with their service providers and supply chains.”<br> The LAPSUS$ Telegram channel has grown to more than 45,000 subscribers, and Microsoft points to an ad LAPSUS$ posted there offering to recruit insiders at major mobile phone providers, large software and gaming companies, hosting firms and call centers.<br> Sources tell KrebsOnSecurity that LAPSUS$ has been recruiting insiders via multiple social media platforms since at least November 2021. One of the core LAPSUS$ members who used the nicknames “Oklaqq” and “WhiteDoxbin” <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://camas.github.io/reddit-search/#%7B%22author%22:%22oklaqq%22,%22searchFor%22:1,%22resultSize%22:100%7D">posted recruitment messages to Reddit last year</a> , offering employees at AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon up to $20,000 a week to perform “inside jobs.”<br> LAPSUS$ leader Oklaqq a.k.a. “WhiteDoxbin” offering to pay $20,000 a week to corrupt employees at major mobile providers.<br> Many of LAPSUS$’s recruitment ads are written in both English and Portuguese. According to cyber intelligence firm <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.flashpoint-intel.com">Flashpoint</a> , the bulk of the group’s victims (15 of them) have been in Latin America and Portugal.<br> “LAPSUS$ currently does not operate a clearnet or darknet leak site or traditional social media accounts—it operates solely via Telegram and email,” Flashpoint wrote in an analysis of the group. “LAPSUS$ appears to be highly sophisticated, carrying out increasingly high-profile data breaches. The group has claimed it is not state-sponsored. The individuals behind the group are likely experienced and have demonstrated in-depth technical knowledge and abilities.”<br> Microsoft said LAPSUS$ has been known to target the personal email accounts of employees at organizations they wish to hack, knowing that most employees these days use some sort of VPN to remotely access their employer’s network.<br> “In some cases, [LAPSUS$] first targeted and compromised an individual’s personal or private (non-work-related) accounts giving them access to then look for additional credentials that could be used to gain access to corporate systems,” Microsoft wrote. “Given that employees typically use these personal accounts or numbers as their second-factor authentication or password recovery, the group would often use this access to reset passwords and complete account recovery actions.”<br> In other cases, Microsoft said, LAPSUS$ has been seen calling a target organization’s help desk and attempting to convince support personnel to reset a privileged account’s credentials.<br> “The group used the previously gathered information (for example, profile pictures) and had a native-English-sounding caller speak with the help desk personnel to enhance their social engineering lure,” Microsoft explained. “Observed actions have included DEV-0537 answering common recovery prompts such as “first street you lived on” or “mother’s maiden name” to convince help desk personnel of authenticity. Since many organizations outsource their help desk support, this tactic attempts to exploit those supply chain relationships, especially where organizations give their help desk personnel the ability to elevate privileges.”<br> LAPSUS$ recruiting insiders via its Telegram channel.<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/03/a-closer-look-at-the-lapsus-data-extortion-group/">A Closer Look at the LAPSUS$ Data Extortion Group</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/lang/gnawing/kingfish/20220324-160026/ Thu, 24 Mar 2022 16:00:26 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/lang/gnawing/kingfish/20220324-160026/ 03-24 <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://pythoninsider.blogspot.com/2022/03/python-3104-and-3912-are-now-available.html">Python 3.10.4 and 3.9.12 are now available out of schedule</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/news/denominate/telecast/20220324-120616/ Thu, 24 Mar 2022 12:06:16 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/news/denominate/telecast/20220324-120616/ START THE DAY HERE <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="http://www.cnn.com/2022/03/24/us/five-things-march-24-trnd/index.html">Biden is in Europe for emergency summits on Ukraine.

Russian authorities allege Vrublevsky operated several fraudulent SMS-based payment schemes, and facilitated money laundering for Hydra , the largest Russian darknet market. But according to information obtained by KrebsOnSecurity, it is equally likely Vrublevsky was arrested thanks to his propensity for carefully documenting the links between Russia’s state security services and the cybercriminal underground.<br> An undated photo of Vrublevsky at his ChronoPay office in Moscow.<br> ChronoPay specializes in providing access to the global credit card networks for “high risk” merchants — businesses involved in selling services online that tend to generate an unusually large number of chargebacks and reports of fraud, and hence have a higher risk of failure.<br> When I first began writing about Vrublevsky <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2009/07/following_the_money_trail_of_r.html">in 2009 as a reporter for The Washington Post</a> , ChronoPay and its sister firm Red & Partners (RNP) were earning millions setting up payment infrastructure <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2011/03/chronopays-scareware-diaries/">for fake antivirus peddlers</a> and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2011/02/russian-cops-crash-pill-pusher-party/">spammers pimping male enhancement drugs</a> .<br> Using the hacker alias “ RedEye ,” the ChronoPay CEO oversaw a burgeoning pharmacy spam affiliate program called <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/?s=rx-promotion">Rx-Promotion</a> , which paid some of Russia’s most talented spammers and virus writers to bombard the world with junk email promoting Rx-Promotion’s pill shops. RedEye also was the administrator of Crutop , a Russian language forum and affiliate program that catered to thousands of adult webmasters.<br> In 2013, Vrublevsky was <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2013/08/pavel-vrublevsky-sentenced-to-2-5-years/">sentenced to 2.5 years in a Russian penal colony</a> for convincing one of his top affiliates to launch a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack against a competitor that shut down the ticketing system for the state-owned Aeroflot airline.<br> Following his release from jail, Vrublevsky began working on a new digital payments platform based in Hong Kong called HPay Ltd (a.k.a. Hong Kong Processing Corporation). HPay appears to have had a great number of clients that were running schemes which bamboozled people with fake lotteries and prize contests.<br> According to Russian prosecutors, the scam went like this: Consumers would receive an SMS with links to sites that falsely claimed a number of well-known companies were sponsoring drawings and lotteries for people who enrolled or agreed to answer surveys. All who responded were told they were winners, but also that they had to pay a commission to pick up the prize. That scheme allegedly stole 500 million rubles (~ USD $4.5 million) from over 100,000 consumers.<br> There are scant public records that show a connection between ChronoPay and HPay, apart from the fact that the latter’s website — hpay[.]io — was originally hosted on the same server (185.111.218.63) along with a handful of other domains, including Vrublevsky’s personal website rnp[.]com .<br> But then earlier this month, KrebsOnSecurity received a large amount of information that was stolen from ChronoPay recently when hackers managed to compromise the company’s Confluence server. Confluence is a web-based corporate wiki platform, and ChronoPay used their Confluence installation to document in exquisite detail how it creatively distributes the risk associated with high-risk processing by routing transactions through a myriad of shell companies and third-party processors.<br> A Google-translated snippet of the hacked ChronoPay Confluence installation. Click to enlarge.<br> Incredibly, Vrublevsky himself appears to have used ChronoPay’s Confluence wiki to document his entire 20+ years of personal and professional history in the high-risk payments space, including the company’s most recent forays with HPay. The latest document in the hacked archive is dated April 2021.<br> These diary entries, interspersed between highly technical how-tos, are all written in Russian and in the third person. But they are unmistakably Vrublevsky’s words: Some of the elaborate stories in the wiki were identical to theories that Vrublevsky himself espoused to me throughout hundreds of hours of phone interviews. Also, in some of the entries the narrator switches from “he” to “I” when describing the actions of Vrublevsky.<br> Vrublevsky’s memoire/wiki invokes the nicknames and real names of Russian hackers who worked with the protection of corrupt officials in the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), the successor agency to the Soviet KGB. In several diary entries, Vrublevsky writes about various cybercriminals and Russian law enforcement officials involved in processing credit card payments tied to online gambling sites.<br> Russian banks are prohibited from processing payments for online gambling, and as a result many online gaming sites catering to Russian speakers have chosen to process credit card payments through Ukrainian financial institutions.<br> That’s according to Vladislav “BadB” Horohorin , the convicted cybercriminal who shared the ChronoPay Confluence data with KrebsOnSecurity. In February 2017, Horohorin was released after serving four years in a U.S. prison for his role in the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladislav_Horohorin">2009 theft of more than $9 million from RBS Worldpay</a> .<br> Horohorin said Vrublevsky has been using his knowledge of the card processing networks to extort people in the online gambling industry who may run afoul of Russian laws.<br> “Russia has strict regulations against processing for the gambling business,” Horohorin said. “While Russian banks can’t do it, Ukrainian ones can, so we have Ukrainian banks processing gambling and casinos, which mostly Russian gamblers use. What Pavel does is he blackmails those Ukrainian banks using his connections and knowledge. Some pay, some don’t. But some people are not very tolerant of that kind of abuse.”<br> A native of Donetsk, Ukraine, Horohorin told KrebsOnSecurity he hacked and shared the ChronoPay Confluence installation because Vrublevsky had threatened a family member. Horohorin believes Vrublevsky secretly operated the “ bad bank ” channel on Telegram, which calls attention to online gambling operations that are violating Visa and MasterCard regulations (violations that can bring the violator hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines).<br> “Pavel scrupulously wrote his diary for a long time, and there is a lot of information on the people he knows,” Horohorin told KrebsOnSecurity. “My understanding is he wrote this in order to blackmail people later. There is a lot of interesting stuff, a lot of names and a lot of very intimate info about Russian card processing market, as well as Pavel’s own escapades.”<br> ChronoPay’s hacked Confluence server contains many diary entries about major players in the Russian online gambling and bookmaking industries.<br> Among the escapades recounted in the ChronoPay founder’s diaries are multiple stories involving the self-proclaimed “King of Fraud!” Aleksandr “Nastra” Zhukov , a Russian national who ran an advertising fraud network dubbed “ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2016/12/report-3-5m-in-ad-fraud-daily-from-methbot/">Methbot</a> ” that stole $7 million from publishers through bots made to look like humans watching videos online.<br> The journal explains that Zhukov lived with a ChronoPay employee and had a great deal of interaction with ChronoPay’s high-risk department, so much so that Zhukov at one point gave Vrublevsky a $100,000 jeweled watch as a gift. Zukhov was arrested in Bulgaria in 2018 and extradited to the United States. Following a jury trial in New York that ended last year, Zhukov was <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-edny/pr/russian-cybercriminal-sentenced-10-years-prison-digital-advertising-fraud-scheme">sentenced to 10 years in prison</a> .<br> According to the Russian news outlet Kommersant , Vrublevsky and company operated “ Inferno Pay ,” a payments portal that worked with Hydra, the largest Russian darknet market for illicit goods, including drug trafficking, malware, and counterfeit money and documents.<br> Inferno Pay, a cryptocurrency and payment API allegedly operated by the ChronoPay CEO.<br> “The services of Inferno Pay, whose commission came to 30% of the transaction, were actively used by online casinos,” Kommersant <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/5251902">wrote on Mar. 12</a> .<br> The drama surrounding Vrublevsky’s most recent arrest is reminiscent of events leading up to his imprisonment nearly a decade ago, when <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2011/06/organization-chart-reveals-chronopay%e2%80%99s-links-to-shady-internet-projects/">several years’ worth of ChronoPay internal emails were leaked online</a> .<br> Kommersant said Russian authorities also searched the dwelling of Dmitry Artimovich , a former ChronoPay director who along with his brother Igor was responsible for <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2012/06/who-is-the-festi-botmaster/">running the Festi botnet</a> , the same spam botnet that was used for years to pump out junk emails promoting Vrublevsky’s pharmacy affiliate websites. Festi also was the botnet used in the DDoS attack that sent Vrubelvsky to prison for two years in 2013.<br> Artimovich says he had a falling out with Vrublevsky roughly five years ago, and he’s been suing the company ever since. In a message to KrebsOnSecurity, Artimovich said while Vrublevsky was involved in a lot of shady activities, he doubts Vrublevksy’s arrest was really about SMS payment scams as the government claims.<br> “I do not think that it was a reason for his arrest,” Artimovich said. “O ur law enforcement usually don’t give a shit about sites like this. And I don’t think that Vrublevsky made much money there. I believe he angered some high-ranking person. Because the scale of the case is much larger than Aeroflot. Police made search of 22 people.

The group also is tracking several code packages that were recently modified to erase files on computers that appear to be coming from Russian or Belarusian Internet addresses.<br> The <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/ThorgrimGrudgebearer/GreatBookOfGrudges/blob/main/README.md">upstart tracking effort</a> is being crowdsourced via Telegram , but the output of the Russian research group is centralized in <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1H3xPB4PgWeFcHjZ7NOPtrcya_Ua4jUolWm-7z9-jSpQ/htmlview?pru=AAABf7z88MA*ITSp0EBrKinw0LjFWZ9tzQ#gid=2074850979">a Google Spreadsheet that is open to the public</a> . Most of the GitHub code repositories tracked by this group include relatively harmless components that will either display a simple message in support of Ukraine, or show statistics about the war in Ukraine — such as casualty numbers — and links to more information on the Deep Web.<br> For example, the popular library ES5-ext hadn’t updated its code in nearly two years. But on March 7, the code project added a component “ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/medikoo/es5-ext/commit/28de285ed433b45113f01e4ce7c74e9a356b2af2">postinstall.js</a> ,” which checks to see if the user’s computer is tied to a Russian Internet address. If so, the code broadcasts a “Call for peace:”<br> A message that appears for Russian users of the popular es5-ext code library on GitHub. The message has been Google-Translated from Russian to English.<br> A more concerning example can be found at the GitHub page for “ vue-cli ,” a popular Javascript framework for building web-based user interfaces.

ANSI X9.62, from 1998, specified how elliptic curves were encoded in ASN.1 and included not just 27 possible curves, but allowed the parameters to be inherited from the issuing CA and allowed completely arbitrary elliptic curves to be defined inside a public key. That specifies almost nothing and avoids really standardising on anything. Thankfully I've not seen parameter inheritance implemented for ECC (it would be a security mess) but support for custom elliptic curves does, sadly, exist.<br> It's not fair to just blame X9.62: don't get me started about RSA PSS. The cost of having too many options is frequently underestimated. Why does AES-192 exist, for example, other than to inflate test matrices?<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220317-080552/ Thu, 17 Mar 2022 08:05:51 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220317-080552/ <ol> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://tailscale.com/blog/free-plan/">How our free plan stays free</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=tailscale.com">tailscale.com</a> )<br></li> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.sofuckingagile.com/blog/on-being-indispensable">On Being Indispensable</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=sofuckingagile.com">sofuckingagile.com</a> )<br> 508 points by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=asyncscrum">asyncscrum</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30671345">1 day ago</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30671345">270 comments</a><br></li> </ol> https://www.whatsupup.com/con/ozonizing/briton/20220317-040437/ Thu, 17 Mar 2022 04:04:37 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/con/ozonizing/briton/20220317-040437/ DEF CON Movie Night this Saturday will feature some more 70s sci-fi with John Carpenter’s ‘Dark Star’ from ’74.

I don't mean picking the right parameters — although that certainly helps. I mean picking parameters at all.<br> That might seem obvious, but there are pressures pushing towards abdication: what if you get it wrong? Why not hedge bets and add another option? What about the two groups who already shipped something? We could just add options so that everyone's happy.<br> There are always exceptions, but the costs of being flexible are considerable. ANSI X9.62, from 1998, specified how elliptic curves were encoded in ASN.1 and included not just 27 possible curves, but allowed the parameters to be inherited from the issuing CA and allowed completely arbitrary elliptic curves to be defined inside a public key. That specifies almost nothing and avoids really standardising on anything. Thankfully I've not seen parameter inheriance implemented for ECC (it would be a security mess) but support for custom elliptic curves does, sadly, exist.<br> A couple of years ago, Microsoft had a <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2020-0601">signature bypass</a> because of support for arbitrary curves [ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/CasCremers/status/1217510293040844800">details</a> ]. Today, OpenSSL had an <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-announce/2022-March/000219.html">infinite loop</a> in certificate parsing because of the same. On the flip side, I'm not aware that anyone has ever used the ability to specify arbitrary curves for anything useful.<br> It's not fair to just blame X9.62: don't get me started about RSA PSS. The cost of having too many options is frequently underestimated. Why does AES-192 exist, for example, other than to inflate test matrixes?<br> As an aside, it's interesting to wonder how many CPU decades have been spent fuzzing OpenSSL's certificate parsing and yet today's issue wasn't reported before. This isn't a 2 -128 fraction of state space that fuzzers couldn't be expected to find, and I'm not sure that Tavis found it from fuzzing at all.<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/news/nonabsorbent/freaking/20220315-200947/ Tue, 15 Mar 2022 20:09:46 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/news/nonabsorbent/freaking/20220315-200947/ <p>Pool/Getty Images<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.npr.org/2022/03/15/1086711435/pfizer-biontech-seeks-authorization-covid-booster-shot-65-older">Pfizer-BioNTech will seek authorization for second COVID booster for older adults</a><br></p> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.npr.org/2022/03/15/1086711435/pfizer-biontech-seeks-authorization-covid-booster-shot-65-older">Pfizer and BioNTech are planning to ask the Food and Drug Administration to authorize a second COVID-19 booster shot for people age 65 and older.</a><br> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.npr.org/2022/03/14/1086394167/china-battles-multiple-outbreaks-driven-by-stealth-omicron">March 14, 2022 • While the numbers are small relative to numbers reported in Europe or in the U.S., they are the highest since the first big outbreak of COVID-19 in the central city of Wuhan in early 2020.</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220315-200522/ Tue, 15 Mar 2022 20:05:22 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220315-200522/ <ol> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://css-tricks.com/css-tricks-is-joining-digitalocean/">DigitalOcean acquires CSS-tricks</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=css-tricks.com">css-tricks.com</a> )<br> 554 points by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=nilsandrey">nilsandrey</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30684594">7 hours ago</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30684594">145 comments</a><br></li> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/mje/2022/01/15/cities-should-not-pay-for-new-stadiums/">Cities should not pay for new stadiums</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=umich.edu">umich.edu</a> )<br> 527 points by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=droptablemain">droptablemain</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30682137">13 hours ago</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30682137">506 comments</a><br></li> </ol> https://www.whatsupup.com/con/encephalon/bamboozle/20220315-200448/ Tue, 15 Mar 2022 20:04:48 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/con/encephalon/bamboozle/20220315-200448/ Call for Papers and Call for Trainers will open in early April.

Image: Andrei Shirokov / Tass via Getty Images.<br> Aleksei Burkov , a cybercriminal who long operated two of Russia’s most exclusive underground hacking forums, was arrested in 2015 by Israeli authorities. The Russian government fought Burkov’s extradition to the U.S. for four years — even arresting and jailing an Israeli woman to force a prisoner swap. That effort failed: Burkov was sent to America, pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to nine years in prison. But a little more than a year later, he was quietly released and deported back to Russia. Now some Republican lawmakers are asking why a Russian hacker once described as “an asset of supreme importance” was allowed to shorten his stay.<br> A native of St. Petersburg, Russia, Burkov admitted to running CardPlanet, a site that sold more than 150,000 stolen credit card accounts, and to being a founder of DirectConnection — a closely guarded online community that attracted some of the world’s most-wanted Russian hackers.<br> But Burkov’s cybercriminal activities spanned far beyond mere credit card fraud. A <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2019/11/why-were-the-russians-so-set-against-this-hacker-being-extradited/">2019 deep dive into Burkov’s hacker alias “K0pa”</a> revealed he also was co-administrator of the secretive Russian cybercrime forum “ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/03/three-top-russian-cybercrime-forums-hacked/">Mazafaka</a> .” Like DirectConnection, Mazafaka’s member roster was a veritable “Who’s Who?” of the Russian hacker underground, and K0pa played a key role in vetting new members and settling disputes for both communities.<br> K0pa’s elevated status in the Russian cybercrime community made him one of the most connected malicious hackers ever apprehended by U.S. authorities. As I wrote at the time of Burkov’s extradition, the Kremlin was probably concerned that he simply knew too much about Russia’s propensity to outsource certain activities to its criminal hacker community.<br> “To my knowledge, no one has accused Burkov of being some kind of cybercrime fixer or virtual badguy Rolodex for the Russian government,” KrebsOnSecurity <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2019/11/why-were-the-russians-so-set-against-this-hacker-being-extradited/">wrote</a> in 2019. “On the other hand, from his onetime lofty perch atop some of the most exclusive Russian cybercrime forums, K0pa certainly would have fit that role nicely.”<br> Burkov was arrested in December 2015 on an international warrant while visiting Israel, and over the ensuing four years the Russian government aggressively sought to keep him from being extradited to the United States.<br> When Israeli authorities turned down requests to send him back to Russia — supposedly to face separate hacking charges there — the Russians imprisoned Israeli citizen Naama Issachar on trumped-up drug charges in a bid to trade prisoners.

DNS stands for Domain Name System, which is like a globally distributed phone book for the Internet that maps human-friendly website names (example.com) to numeric Internet addresses (8.8.4.4.) that are easier for computers to manage. Your computer or mobile device generates DNS lookups each time you send or receive an email, or browse to a webpage.<br> With anycast, one Internet address can apply to many servers, meaning that any one of a number of DNS servers can respond to DNS queries, and usually the one that is geographically closest to the customer making the request will provide the response.<br> Quad9 insulates its users from a range of cyberattacks by blocking DNS requests for known-bad domain names, i.e., those confirmed to be hosting malicious software, phishing websites, stalkerware and other threats. And normally, the ratio of DNS queries coming from Ukraine that are allowed versus blocked by Quad9 is fairly constant.<br> But Todd says that on March 9, Quad9’s systems blocked 10 times the normal number of DNS requests coming from Ukraine, and to a lesser extent Poland.<br> Todd said Quad9 saw a significant drop in traffic reaching its Kyiv POP [point of presence] during the hostilities, presumably due to fiber cuts or power outages. Some of that traffic then shifted to Warsaw, which for much of Ukraine’s networking is the next closest significant interconnect site.<br> Quad9’s view of a spike in malicious traffic targeting Ukrainian users this week. Click to enlarge.<br> “While our overall traffic dropped in Kyiv — and slightly increased in Warsaw due to infrastructure outages inside of .ua — the ratio of (good queries):(blocked queries) has spiked in both cities,” he continued. “The spike in that blocking ratio [Wednesday] afternoon in Kyiv was around 10x the normal level when comparing against other cities in Europe (Amsterdam, Frankfurt.) While Ukraine always is slightly higher (20%-ish) than Western Europe, this order-of-magnitude jump is unprecedented.”<br> Quad9 declined to further quantify the data that informed the Y axis in the chart above, but said there are some numbers the company is prepared to share as absolutes.<br> “Looking three weeks ago on the same day of the week as yesterday, we had 118 million total block events, and of that 1.4 million were in Ukraine and Poland,” Todd said. “Our entire network saw yesterday on March 9th 121 million blocking events, worldwide. Of those 121 million events, 4.6 million were in Ukraine and Poland.”<br> Bill Woodcock is executive director at <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.pch.net">Packet Clearing House</a> , a nonprofit based in San Francisco that is one of several sponsors of Quad9. Woodcock said the spike in blocked DNS queries coming out of Ukraine clearly shows an increase in phishing and malware attacks against Ukrainians.<br> “They’re being targeted by a huge amount of phishing, and a lot of malware that is getting onto machines is trying to contact malicious command-and-control infrastructure,” Woodcock said.<br> Both Todd and Woodcock said the smaller spike in blocked DNS requests originating from Poland is likely the result of so many Ukrainians fleeing their country: Of the two million people who have fled Ukraine since the beginning of the Russian invasion, more than 1.4 million have made their way to Poland, according to <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-60555472">the latest figures</a> from the United Nations .<br> The increase in malicious activity detected by Quad9 is the latest chapter in an ongoing series of cyberattacks against Ukrainian government and civilian systems since the outset of the war in the last week of February.<br> As Russian military tanks and personnel began crossing the border into Ukraine last month, security experts tracked a series of <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://zetter.substack.com/p/second-wiper-attack-strikes-systems">destructive data “wiper” attacks</a> aimed at Ukrainian government agencies and contractor networks. Security firms also <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/white-house-pins-ukraine-ddos-attacks-on-russian-gru-hackers/">attributed to Russia’s intelligence services</a> a volley of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against Ukrainian banks just prior to the invasion.<br> Thus far, the much-feared large scale cyberattacks and retaliation from Russia <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/11/opinion/russia-ukraine-cyberattacks.html">haven’t materialized</a> (for a counterpoint here, see <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/mar/10/us-russia-cyber-attack-prepared">this piece</a> from The Guardian ).

Plus, what we're doing about it.</a><br></p> <hr> Posted by Adrian Taylor, Chrome Security Team<br> If you are a regular reader of our <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/search/label/Stable%20updates">Chrome release blog</a> , you may have noticed that phrases like 'exploit for CVE-1234-567 exists in the wild' have been appearing more often recently. In this post we'll explore why there seems to be such an increase in exploits, and clarify some misconceptions in the process. We'll then share how Chrome is continuing to make it harder for attackers to achieve their goals.<br> How things work today<br> While the increase may initially seem concerning, it’s important to understand the reason behind this trend. If it's because there are many more exploits in the wild, it could point to a worrying trend. On the other hand, if we’re simply gaining more visibility into exploitation by attackers, it's actually a good thing! It’s good because it means we can respond by providing bug fixes to our users faster, and we can learn more about how real attackers operate.<br> So, which is it? It’s likely a little of both.<br> Our colleagues at Project Zero <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lkNJ0uQwbeC1ZTRrxdtuPLCIl7mlUreoKfSIgajnSyY/edit#gid=1123292625">publicly track all known in-the-wild “zero day” bugs</a> . Here’s what they’ve reported for browsers:<br> First, we don’t believe there was no exploitation of Chromium based browsers between 2015 and 2018. We recognize that we don’t have full view into active exploitation, and just because we didn’t detect any zero-days during those years, doesn’t mean exploitation didn’t happen. Available exploitation data suffers from sampling bias.<br> Teams like Google’s <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.google/threat-analysis-group/how-we-protect-users-0-day-attacks/">Threat Analysis Group</a> are also becoming increasingly sophisticated in their efforts to protect users by discovering zero-days and in-the-wild attacks. A good example is <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g09EvzVsDbk">a bug in our Portals feature</a> that we fixed last fall. This bug was discovered by a team member in Switzerland and reported to Chrome through our bug tracker. While Chrome normally keeps each web page locked away in a box called the “renderer sandbox,” this bug allowed the code to break out, potentially allowing attackers to steal information. Working across multiple time zones and teams, it took the team three days to come up with a fix and roll it out, as detailed in our video on the process:<br> Why so many exploits?<br> There are a number of factors at play, from changes in vendor and attacker behavior, to changes in the software itself. Here are four in particular that we've been discussing and exploring as a team.<br> First, we believe we’re seeing more bugs thanks to vendor transparency. Historically, many browser makers didn’t announce that a bug was being exploited in the wild, even if they knew it was happening. Today, most major browser makers have increased transparency via publishing details in release communications, and that may account for more publicly tracked “in the wild” exploitation. These efforts have been spearheaded by both browser security teams and dedicated research groups, such as <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/">Project Zero.</a><br> Second, we believe we’re seeing more exploits due to evolved attacker focus. There are two reasons to suspect attackers might be choosing to attack Chrome more than they did in the past.<br> Flash deprecation : In 2015 and 2016, Flash was a primary exploitation target. Chrome gradually made Flash a less attractive target for attackers <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.chromium.org/flash-roadmap/">(for instance requiring user clicks to activate Flash content)</a> before finally removing it in Chrome 88 in January last year. As Flash is no longer available, attackers have had to switch to a harder target: the browser itself.<br> Chromium popularity : Attackers go for the most popular target. In early 2020, Edge switched to using the Chromium rendering engine. If attackers can find a bug in Chromium, they can now attack a greater percentage of users.<br> Third, some attacks that could previously be accomplished with a single bug now require multiple bugs. Before 2015, only a single in-the-wild bug was required to steal a user’s secrets from other websites, because multiple web pages lived together in a single <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/multi-process-architecture">renderer process</a> . If an attacker could compromise the renderer process belonging to a malicious website that a user visited, they might have been able to access the credentials for some other more sensitive website.<br> With Chrome’s multiyear <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/site-isolation">Site Isolation</a> project largely complete, a single bug is almost never sufficient to do anything really bad. Attackers often need to chain at least two bugs: first, to compromise the renderer process, and second, to jump into the privileged Chrome browser process or directly into the device operating system. Sometimes multiple bugs are needed to achieve one or both of these steps.<br> So, to achieve the same result, an attacker generally now has to use more bugs than they previously did. For exactly the same level of attacker success, we’d see more in-the-wild bugs reported over time, as we add more layers of defense that the attacker needs to bypass.<br> Fourth, there’s simply the fact that software has bugs . Some fraction of those bugs are exploitable. Browsers increasingly mirror the complexity of operating systems — providing access to your peripherals, filesystem, 3D rendering, GPUs — and more complexity means more bugs.<br> Ultimately, we believe data is an important part of the story, but the absolute number of exploited bugs isn't a sufficient measure of security risk. Since some security bugs are inevitable, how a software vendor architects their software (so that the impact of any single bug is limited) and responds to critical security bugs is often much more important than the specifics of any single bug.<br> How Chrome is raising the bar<br> The Chrome team works hard to both detect and fix bugs before releases and get bug fixes out to users as quickly as possible. We’re proud of <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2022/02/a-walk-through-project-zero-metrics.html">our record at fixing serious bugs quickly</a> , and we are continually working to do better.<br> For example, one area of concern for us is the risk of n-day attacks: that is, exploitation of bugs we’ve already fixed, where the fixes are visible in our open-source code repositories. We have greatly reduced our “patch gap” from 35 days in Chrome 76 to an average of 18 days in subsequent milestones, and we expect this to reduce slightly further with <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.chromium.org/2021/03/speeding-up-release-cycle.html">Chrome’s faster release cycle</a> .<br> Irrespective of how quickly bugs are fixed, any in-the-wild exploitation is bad. Chrome is working hard to make it expensive and difficult for attackers to achieve their goals.<br> Some examples of the projects ongoing:<br> We continue to strengthen Site Isolation, <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://security.googleblog.com/2021/07/protecting-more-with-site-isolation.html">especially on Android</a> .<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FM4fQmIhEqPG8uGp5o9A-mnPB5BOeScZYpkHjo0KKA8/edit#heading=h.fg3qxf1x0p2q">The V8 heap sandbox</a> will prevent attackers using JavaScript just-in-time (JIT) compilation bugs to compromise the renderer process. This will require attackers to add a third bug to these exploit chains, which means increased security, but could increase the amount of in-the-wild exploits reported.<br> The <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gevcleRHRZ4">MiraclePtr and *Scan</a> projects aim to prevent exploitability of many of our largest class of browser process bugs, called “use-after-free”. We will be applying similar systematic solutions to other classes of bugs over time.<br> Since “memory safety” bugs account for 70% of the exploitable security bugs, we aim to write new parts of Chrome in <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://security.googleblog.com/2021/09/an-update-on-memory-safety-in-chrome.html">memory-safe languages</a> .<br> We continue to work on post-exploitation mitigations such as <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/technical-look-control-flow-enforcement-technology.html">CET</a> and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/secbp/control-flow-guard">CFG</a> .<br> We are well past the stage of having “easy wins” when it comes to raising the bar for security. All of these are long term projects with significant engineering challenges. But as we've shown with Site Isolation, Chrome isn't afraid of making long term investments in major security engineering projects. One of the major challenges is performance: all of these technologies (except memory safe languages) could risk slowing the browser. Expect a series of blog posts over the coming months as we explore performance vs. security trade-offs.

For the second month running, there are no scary zero-day threats looming for Windows users, and relatively few “critical” fixes. And yet we know from experience that attackers are already trying to work out how to turn these patches into a roadmap for exploiting the flaws they fix. Here’s a look at the security weaknesses Microsoft says are most likely to be targeted first.<br> Greg Wiseman , product manager at Rapid7 , notes that three vulnerabilities fixed this month have been previously disclosed, potentially giving attackers a head start in working out how to exploit them. Those include remote code execution bugs <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2022-24512">CVE-2022-24512</a> , affecting .NET and Visual Studio , and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2022-21990">CVE-2022-21990</a> , affecting Remote Desktop Client . <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2022-24459">CVE-2022-24459</a> is a vulnerability in the Windows Fax and Scan service. All three publicly disclosed vulnerabilities are rated “ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/msrc/security-update-severity-rating-system?SilentAuth=1&wa=wsignin1.0">Important</a> ” by Microsoft.<br> Just three of the fixes this month earned Microsoft’s most-dire “ Critical ” rating, which Redmond assigns to bugs that can be exploited to remotely compromise a Windows PC with little to no help from users.

Lumen’s decision comes just days after a similar exit by backbone provider Cogent , and amid a news media crackdown in Russia that has already left millions of Russians in the dark about what is really going on with their president’s war in Ukraine.<br> Monroe, La. based Lumen [ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/LUMN:NYSE">NYSE: LUMN</a> ] (formerly CenturyLink ) initially said it would halt all new business with organizations based in Russia, leaving open the possibility of continuing to serve existing clients there. But on Tuesday the company said it could no longer justify that stance.<br> “Life has taken a turn in Russia and Lumen is unable to continue to operate in this market,” Lumen said in a published statement. “The business services we provide are extremely small and very limited as is our physical presence. However, we are taking steps to immediately stop business in the region.”<br> “We decided to disconnect the network due to increased security risk inside Russia,” the statement continues. “We have not yet experienced network disruptions but given the increasingly uncertain environment and the heightened risk of state action, we took this move to ensure the security of our and our customers’ networks, as well as the ongoing integrity of the global Internet.”<br> According to Internet infrastructure monitoring firm Kentik , Lumen is the top international transit provider to Russia, with customers including Russian telecom giants Rostelecom and TTK, as well as all three major mobile operators (MTS, Megafon and VEON).<br> “A backbone carrier disconnecting its customers in a country the size of Russia is without precedent in the history of the internet and reflects the intense global reaction that the world has had over the invasion of Ukraine,” <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.kentik.com/blog/cogent-disconnects-from-russia/">wrote</a> Doug Madory , Kentik’s director of Internet analysis.<br> It’s not clear whether any other Internet backbone providers — some of which are based outside of the United States — will follow the lead of Lumen and Cogent. But Madory notes that as economic sanctions continue to exact a toll on Russia’s economy, its own telecommunications firms may have difficulty paying foreign transit providers for service.<br> Ukrainian leaders petitioned the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) — the nonprofit organization charged with overseeing the global domain name system — to disconnect Russia’s top-level domain (.ru) from the Internet. ICANN respectfully declined that request, but many technology giants, including Amazon, Apple and Microsoft, have moved on their own to suspend new business in the country.<br> Meanwhile, Russia recently cracked down on the last remaining vestiges of a free press within its borders, passing a new law that threatens up to 15 years in jail for anyone who publishes content that refers to the conflict in Ukraine as a “war” or “invasion.” <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/03/internet-backbone-giant-lumen-shuns-ru/#more-58854">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/03/internet-backbone-giant-lumen-shuns-ru/">Internet Backbone Giant Lumen Shuns .RU</a><br></p> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/category/russias-war-on-ukraine/">Russia's War on Ukraine</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220309-040529/ Wed, 09 Mar 2022 04:05:28 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220309-040529/ <ol start="2"> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.apple.com/mac-studio/">Apple Mac Studio</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=apple.com">apple.com</a> )<br></li> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.axios.com/political-polarization-twitter-cable-news-ac9699c6-260d-4141-b511-5c7193566ea1.html">The new silent majority: People who don't tweet</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=axios.com">axios.com</a> )<br> 557 points by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=laurex">laurex</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30603801">9 hours ago</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30603801">571 comments</a><br></li> </ol> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220309-000530/ Wed, 09 Mar 2022 00:05:29 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220309-000530/ <ol> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2022/03/apple-unveils-m1-ultra-the-worlds-most-powerful-chip-for-a-personal-computer/">Apple M1 Ultra</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=apple.com">apple.com</a> )<br></li> </ol> https://www.whatsupup.com/software/checkpoint/brick/20220308-201133/ Tue, 08 Mar 2022 20:11:33 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/software/checkpoint/brick/20220308-201133/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://brave.com/privacy-updates/16-unlinkable-bouncing/">"Unlinkable Bouncing" for more protection against bounce tracking</a><br></p> <hr> Brave is shipping a new, powerful privacy-protecting feature called Unlinkable Bouncing.

The candid messages revealed how Conti <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/03/conti-ransomware-group-diaries-part-i-evasion/">evaded law enforcement and intelligence agencies</a> , what it was like on <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/03/conti-ransomware-group-diaries-part-ii-the-office/">a typical day at the Conti office</a> , and how Conti <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/03/conti-ransomware-group-diaries-part-iii-weaponry/">secured the digital weaponry used in their attacks</a> . This final post on the Conti conversations explores different schemes that Conti pursued to invest in and steal cryptocurrencies.<br> When you’re perhaps the most successful ransomware group around — Conti made $180 million last year in extortion payments, <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/contistats-768x391.png">well more than any other crime group</a> , according to Chainalysis — you tend to have a lot digital currency like Bitcoin.<br> This wealth allowed Conti to do things that regular investors couldn’t — such as moving the price of cryptocurrencies in one direction or the other. Or building a cryptocurrency platform and seeding it with loads of ill-gotten crypto from phantom investors.<br> One Conti top manager — aptly-named “ Stern ” because he incessantly needled Conti underlings to complete their assigned tasks — was obsessed with the idea of creating his own crypto scheme for cross-platform blockchain applications.<br> “I’m addicted right now, I’m interested in trading, defi, blockchain, new projects,” Stern told “ Bloodrush ” on Nov. 3, 2021. “Big companies have too many secrets that they hold on to, thinking that this is their main value, these patents and data.”<br> In a discussion thread that spanned many months in Conti’s internal chat room, Stern said the plan was to create their own crypto universe.<br> “Like Netherium, Polkadot and Binance smart chain, etc.,” Stern wrote. “Does anyone know more about this? Study the above systems, code, principles of work. To build our own, where it will already be possible to plug in NFT, DEFI, DEX and all the new trends that are and will be. For others to create their own coins, exchanges and projects on our system.”<br> It appears that Stern has been paying multiple developers to pursue the notion of building a peer-to-peer (P2P) based system for “smart contracts” — programs stored on a blockchain that run whenever predetermined conditions are met.<br> It’s unclear under what context the Conti gang was interested in smart contracts, but the idea of a ransomware group insisting on payments via smart contracts is not entirely new. In 2020, researchers from Athens University School of Information Sciences and Technology in Greece <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2003.04426.pdf">showed</a> (PDF) how ransomware-as-a-service offerings might one day be executed through smart contracts.<br> Before that, Jeffrey Ladish , an information security consultant based in Oakland, Calif., penned a <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://medium.com/reserve-currency/smart-contracts-will-make-ransomware-more-profitable-part-1-a687fc370320">two-part analysis</a> on why smart contracts will make ransomware more profitable.<br> “By using a smart contract, an operator can trustlessly sell their victims a decryption key for money,” Ladish wrote. “That is, a victim can send some money to a smart contract with a guarantee that they will either receive the decryption key to their data or get their money back. The victim does not have to trust the person who hacked their computer because they can verify that the smart contract will fairly handle the exchange.”<br> The Conti employee “ Van ” appears to have taken the lead on the P2P crypto platform, which he said was being developed using the Rust programming language.<br> “I am trying to make a p2p network in Rust,” Van told a co-worker “ Demon ” on Feb. 19, 2022. “I’m sorting it out and have already started writing code.”<br> “It’s cool you like Rust,” Demon replied. “I think it will help us with smart contracts.”<br> Stern apparently believed in his crypto dreams so much that he sponsored a $100,000 article writing contest on the Russian language cybercrime forum Exploit, asking interested applicants to put forth various ideas for crypto platforms. Such contests are an easy way to buy intellectual property for ongoing projects, and they’re also effective recruiting tools for cybercriminal organizations.<br> “Cryptocurrency article contest! [100.000$],” wrote mid-level Conti manager “Mango,” to boss Stern, copying the title of the post on the Exploit forum. “What the hell are you doing there…”<br> A few days later Mango reports to Stern that he has “prepared everything for both the social network and articles for crypto contests.” <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/03/conti-ransomware-group-diaries-part-iv-cryptocrime/#more-58766">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/03/conti-ransomware-group-diaries-part-iv-cryptocrime/">Conti Ransomware Group Diaries, Part IV: Cryptocrime</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/companies/jayvee/descrier/20220308-200034/ Tue, 08 Mar 2022 20:00:33 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/companies/jayvee/descrier/20220308-200034/ Mac Studio<br> Outrageous performance with the M1 Max or all-new M1 Ultra chip.

It contains many tools, libraries and frameworks built over many years by numerous organizations, companies and individuals. Their availability empowers Scala programmers to build fast, safe and scalable applications.<br> The Scala Center aims to help Scala programmers find the tools and libraries that are right for you. In this blog post we introduce the new “Awesome Scala” page, powered by Scaladex. Check it out here: <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://index.scala-lang.org/awesome"><a href="https://index.scala-lang.org/awesome">https://index.scala-lang.org/awesome</a></a> .<br> Our aim is to give newcomers a good understanding of the state of the Scala ecosystem: what they can build, on which platform, using which version of the language. We also hope that it will be used by experienced Scala programmers to refresh their knowledge of the ecosystem and discover some new promising libraries.<br> Library authors can actively contribute to this Awesome Scala list by tagging their projects in Scaladex.<br> A multi-dimensional ecosystem<br> Over the years, the Scala ecosystem has grown from a few powerful frameworks like Spark, Play and Akka to a vast collection of thousands of libraries solving a large spectrum of problems in many domains.<br> At the same time, the Scala language itself has evolved quite rapidly. New programming constructs inspired the community to build new libraries with more expressive APIs, as much as new libraries pushed the boundaries of the language, encouraging the experimentation of new language features. In the process, some libraries that paved the way of what the ecosystem is today were left behind by their authors and replaced by simpler, more expressive libraries.<br> In recent years, the ecosystem has become multi-platform. Scala.js and Scala Native make existing libraries usable in more scenarios and have inspired the creation of brand new libraries too.<br> The ecosystem is a multi-dimensional space:<br> Some libraries are generic to all kinds of applications and others are very use-case specific.<br> Some libraries support all the versions of the language while some others are completely new in Scala 3.<br> Some libraries support all three platforms while some others are specific to one or two. For instance web frontend libraries only support Scala.js.<br> How can we make it easier for newcomers to discover the Scala ecosystem in all its dimensions? How can we help experienced Scala programmers find new libraries that solve their problems in different ways?<br> Awesome Scala<br> Open source software, similarly to commercial ones, will not thrive unless it reaches new users, sponsors and contributors. Aware of this issue, open source communities started to compile “awesome” lists of open source projects organized by topics. Some examples are <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/vinta/awesome-python">vinta/awesome-python</a> , <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/akullpp/awesome-java">akullp/awesome-java</a> , <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/veggiemonk/awesome-docker">veggiemonk/awesome-docker</a> and many many more (see <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="http://bayandin/awesome-awesomeness">bayandin/awesome-awesomeness</a> ).<br> The high number of stars of these Github repositories show how popular they are in the world of open source software.<br> The Scala ecosystem is no exception, it has its own very popular awesome repository. Created by Lauris Dzilums in 2014 and maintained by a few community members, <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/lauris/awesome-scala">lauris/awesome-scala</a> has accumulated more than 8.3K stargazers over 8 years. That makes it one of the top 20 Scala projects on GitHub!<br> So why build a new Awesome Scala?<br> First, because it is really hard to map the full picture of the Scala ecosystem, its richness and complexity, in a static page. Second, because we want to reduce the maintenance burden of gathering new libraries, updating old ones and re-organizing the list in a meaningful way.<br> We believe we can achieve these goals using Scaladex.<br> Scaladex is powered by a database of more than 7000 Scala projects, allowing us to explore them with filters (e.g., Scala versions and platforms) and sorting criteria (e.g., GitHub stars).<br> In addition, it is fully automated: it receives new Scala POMs from Maven Central and fetches their corresponding projects from GitHub. It is also connected to the Github authentication service to grant library authors the permission to edit their project settings. Thus we were able to integrate an “Awesome Scala” experience in Scaladex, that is updated automatically, loaded dynamically and managed by the library authors (with no intervention from the administrators).<br> Call to action<br> As a library author, you can help people find your library in the “Awesome Scala” tool by tagging your project with one of the proposed categories.<br> To do so, log in with your GitHub credentials, go to your project page and click the “Edit” button.<br> The list of categories was largely inspired by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/lauris/awesome-scala">lauris/awesome-scala</a> but also by some “awesome” lists of other popular languages. We tested it on more than 800 projects.<br> Nonetheless, it is likely that some projects will not fall into any of these categories. If that is the case please open an issue on <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/scalacenter/scaladex/issues">scalacenter/scaladex</a> describing the main purpose of your library.<br> For general discussions and feedback about the categorization, you are invited to open a discussion in <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/scalacenter/scaladex/discussions">scalacenter/scaladex/discussions</a> .<br> Limitations and going further<br> Learning resources<br> In contrast with <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/lauris/awesome-scala">lauris/awesome-scala</a> , Scaladex does not list any learning resources like books, courses, tutorials, blogs, videos and podcasts. This is a limitation of the current nature of Scaladex: an index of GitHub repositories and Maven Central artifacts.<br> It is in part compensated by the list of <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://scala-lang.org/community/#community-powered-learning-resources">Community-Powered Learning Resources</a> on scala-lang.org. We encourage community members to submit pull requests with additions and updates to that page.<br> Trending libraries<br> We use GitHub stars as our primary sorting criteria in Scaladex. But this metric can only grow over time and consequently it favors old projects over new ones.<br> To also promote new libraries we would like to use some time-framed metrics such as the number of downloads or the number of new GitHub stars over a sliding period of time. Thus we would be able to show trending libraries over a month or a year.<br> This is the next feature in the pipeline. We hope it will be powerful enough for new libraries to gain traction from the community and be more successful.<br> Check out the new <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://index.scala-lang.org/awesome">Awesome Scala page</a> in Scaladex and let us know what you think at <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/scalacenter/scaladex/discussions">scalacenter/scaladex/discussions</a> .<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.scala-lang.org/blog-detail/2022/03/04/in-support-of-ukraine.html">In support of Ukraine Friday, March 4, 2022 • the Scala Center BLOG Dear Scala Community,</p> <p>February 24th 2022 will be remembered as a dark day in world history.

Today’s Part III looks at how Conti abused a panoply of popular commercial security services to undermine the security of their targets, as well as how the team’s leaders strategized for the upper hand in ransom negotiations with victims.<br> Conti is by far the most aggressive and profitable ransomware group in operation today. Image: Chainalysis<br> Conti is by far the most successful ransomware group in operation today, routinely pulling in multi-million dollar payments from victim organizations. That’s because more than perhaps any other ransomware outfit, Conti has chosen to focus its considerable staff and talents on targeting companies with more than $100 million in annual revenues.<br> As it happens, Conti itself recently joined the $100 million club. According to the latest <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://go.chainalysis.com/rs/503-FAP-074/images/Crypto-Crime-Report-2022.pdf">Crypto Crime Report</a> (PDF) published by virtual currency tracking firm Chainalysis , Conti generated at least $180 million in revenue last year.<br> On Feb. 27, a Ukrainian cybersecurity researcher who is currently in Ukraine leaked almost two years’ worth of internal chat records from Conti, which had just posted a press release to its victim shaming blog saying it fully supported Russia’s invasion of his country. Conti warned it would use its cyber prowess to strike back at anyone who interfered in the conflict.<br> The leaked chats show that the Conti group — which fluctuated in size from 65 to more than 100 employees — budgeted several thousand dollars each month to pay for a slew of security and antivirus tools. Conti sought out these tools both for continuous testing (to see how many products detected their malware as bad), but also for their own internal security.<br> A chat between Conti upper manager “ Reshaev ” and subordinate “ Pin ” on Aug. 8, 2021 shows Reshaev ordering Pin to quietly check on the activity of the Conti network administrators once a week — to ensure they’re not doing anything to undermine the integrity or security of the group’s operation. Reshaev tells Pin to install endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools on every administrator’s computer.<br> “Check admins’ activity on servers each week,” Reshaev said. “Install EDR on every computer (for example, Sentinel, Cylance, CrowdStrike); set up more complex storage system; protect LSAS dump on all computers; have only 1 active accounts; install latest security updates; install firewall on all network.”<br> Conti managers were hyper aware that their employees handled incredibly sensitive and invaluable data stolen from companies, information that would sell like hotcakes on the underground cybercrime forums. But in a company run by crooks, trust doesn’t come easily.<br> “You check on me all the time, don’t you trust me?,” asked mid-level Conti member “ Bio ” of “ Tramp ” (a.k.a. “ Trump “), a top Conti overlord. Bio was handling a large bitcoin transfer from a victim ransom payment, and Bio detected that Trump was monitoring him.<br> “When that kind of money and people from the street come in who have never seen that kind of money, how can you trust them 1,000%?” Trump replied. “I’ve been working here for more than 15 years and haven’t seen anything else.” <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/03/conti-ransomware-group-diaries-part-iii-weaponry/#more-58724">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/03/conti-ransomware-group-diaries-part-iii-weaponry/">Conti Ransomware Group Diaries, Part III: Weaponry</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/companies/jayvee/descrier/20220305-040036/ Sat, 05 Mar 2022 04:00:36 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/companies/jayvee/descrier/20220305-040036/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="itmss://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/buyCharityGiftWizard?charity=10220">Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine</a><br></p> <hr> The Peanuts Classics<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/news/spearheading/harden/20220305-001824/ Sat, 05 Mar 2022 00:18:24 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/news/spearheading/harden/20220305-001824/ Telegram has gained a reputation as the “secure” communications app in the post-Soviet states, but whenever you make choices about your digital security, it’s important to start by asking yourself, “What exactly am I securing?

Something happened that most of us considered as unthinkable in the modern times: an unprovoked, ungrounded, full-scale military invasion by the Russian Federation against Ukraine. In just the first four days of the war, by February 27th, 352 civilians <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russias-invasion-ukraine-kills-352-civilians-including-14-children-2022-02-27/">were killed</a> , 14 of them were children. In addition, many were wounded, and over a million people have been displaced from Ukraine. Peaceful Ukrainian cities are being deliberately bombarded.<br> The Scala Center strongly condemns Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine and the associated tremendous violation of international humanitarian and human rights law. We are deeply shocked and saddened by the tragedy currently unfolding in Ukraine, and we would like to express our full solidarity with everyone affected by the war. Our thoughts go out to all those directly or indirectly affected, both in Ukraine and Russia, including our friends and colleagues whose families live in the affected areas.<br> Mere words, however, are not enough in the current situation. More than ever, Ukraine is in need of the world’s help. These are some of the steps we are taking, and we hope to inspire you to take action too:<br> Reach out to your friends and colleagues who are directly affected. Be there for them. Take inventory of what help you can personally offer – emotional, financial support, shelter, etc. – and offer it to them.<br> Support your friends and colleagues in the neighbouring countries, who are welcoming the people escaping the conflict areas.<br> Inform people around you about the unfolding crisis. Many, especially in the countries far from the affected areas, may not realise the extent of what’s happening. Informing them is crucial to rally support. Share information responsibly – check your sources.<br> Help financially, for example <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://redcross.org.ua/en/donate/">donate to the Ukrainian Red Cross</a> .<br> More ways to help are listed <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.standwithukraine.app/">here</a> or <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/ways-to-help-ukraine-conflict/">here</a> .<br> Find out ways you can help that are specific to your country of residence.<br> We are sincerely grateful to everyone who has taken action so far. All over the planet we see individuals and companies self-organise to provide humanitarian aid and shelter to the affected people. Countries send all sorts of help and provide assistance. Hundreds of thousands of people all over the world have brought peaceful anti-war protests to the streets. Having the entire world side by the righteous cause gives us hope that the good will prevail.<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.scala-lang.org/blog/2022/02/01/scala-3.1.1-released.html">Scala 3.1.1 and forward compatibility news Tuesday, February 1, 2022 • Paweł Marks, VirtusLab BLOG Hello from the Scala 3 team!

In Part II of this series we’ll explore what it’s like to work for Conti, as described by the Conti employees themselves.<br> The Conti group’s chats reveal a great deal about its internal structure and hierarchy. Conti maintains many of the same business units as a legitimate, small- to medium-sized enterprise, including a Human Resources department that is in charge of constantly interviewing potential new hires.<br> Other Conti departments with their own distinct budgets, staff schedules, and senior leadership include:<br> – Coders: Programmers hired to write malicious code, integrate disparate technologies – Testers: Workers in charge of testing Conti malware against security tools and obfuscating it – Administrators: Workers tasked with setting up, tearing down servers, other attack infrastructure – Reverse Engineers: Those who can disassemble computer code, study it, find vulnerabilities or weaknesses – Penetration Testers/Hackers: Those on the front lines battling against corporate security teams to steal data, and plant ransomware.<br> Conti appears to have contracted out much of its spamming operations, or at least there was no mention of “Spammers” as direct employees. Conti’s leaders seem to have set strict budgets for each of its organizational units, although it occasionally borrowed funds allocated for one department to address the pressing cashflow needs of another.<br> A great many of the more revealing chats concerning Conti’s structure are between “ Mango ” — a mid-level Conti manager to whom many other Conti employees report each day — and “ Stern ,” a sort of cantankerous taskmaster who can be seen constantly needling the staff for reports on their work.<br> In July 2021, Mango told Stern that the group was placing ads on several Russian-language cybercrime forums to hire more workers. “The salary is $2k in the announcement, but there are a lot of comments that we are recruiting galley slaves,” Mango wrote. “Of course, we dispute that and say those who work and bring results can earn more, but there are examples of coders who work normally and earn $5-$10k salary.”<br> The Conti chats show the gang primarily kept tabs on the victim bots infected with their malware via both the Trickbot and Emotet crimeware-as-a-service platforms, and that it employed dozens of people to continuously test, maintain and expand this infrastructure 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.<br> Conti members referred to Emotet as “ Booz ” or “ Buza ,” and it is evident from reading these chat logs that Buza had its own stable of more than 50 coders, and likely much of the same organizational structure as Conti.<br> According to Mango, as of July 18, 2021 the Conti gang employed 62 people, mostly low-level malware coders and software testers. However, Conti’s employee roster appears to have fluctuated wildly from one month to the next. For example, on multiple occasions the organization was forced to fire many employees as a security precaution in the wake of its own internal security breaches.<br> In May 2021, Stern told Mango he wanted his underlings to hire 100 more “encoders” to work with the group’s malware before the bulk of the gang returns from their summer vacations in Crimea. Most of these new hires, Stern says, will join the penetration testing/hacking teams headed by Conti leaders “ Hof ” and “ Reverse .” Both Hof and Reverse appear to have direct access to the Emotet crimeware platform.<br> Trying to accurately gauge the size of the Conti organization is problematic, in part because cybersecurity experts have long held that Conti is merely a rebrand of another ransomware strain and affiliate program known as <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryuk_(ransomware)">Ryuk</a> . First spotted in 2018, Ryuk was just as ruthless and mercenary as Conti, and the FBI says that in the first year of its operation Ryuk earned more than $61 million in ransom payouts.<br> “Conti is a Targeted version of Ryuk, which comes from Trickbot and Emotet which we’ve been monitoring for some time,” researchers at <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/blog/security-operations/conti-or-so-i-am-told/">Palo Alto Networks wrote about Ryuk last year</a> . “A heavy focus was put on hospital systems, likely due to the necessity for uptime, as these systems were overwhelmed with handling the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We observed initial Ryuk ransom requests ranging from US$600,000 to $10 million across multiple industries.”<br> On May 14, 2021, Ireland’s Health Service Executive (HSE) <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/12/inside-irelands-public-healthcare-ransomware-scare/">suffered a major ransomware attack at the hands of Conti</a> . The attack would disrupt services at several Irish hospitals, and resulted in the near complete shutdown of the HSE’s national and local networks, forcing the cancellation of many outpatient clinics and healthcare services. It took the HSE until Sept. 21, 2021 to fully restore all of its systems from the attack, at an estimated cost of more than $600 million.<br> It remains unclear from reading these chats how many of Conti’s staff understood how much of the organization’s operations overlapped with that of Ryuk. Lawrence Abrams at <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com">Bleeping Computer</a> pointed to an October 2020 Conti chat in which the Emotet representative “Buza” posts a link to a security firm’s analysis of Ryuk’s return.<br> “ Professor ,” the nickname chosen by one of Conti’s most senior generals, replies that indeed Ryuk’s tools, techniques and procedures are nearly identical to Conti’s.<br> “adf.bat — this is my fucking batch file,” Professor writes, evidently surprised at having read the analysis and spotting his own code being re-used in high-profile ransomware attacks by Ryuk.<br> “Feels like [the] same managers were running both Ryuk and Conti, with a slow migration to Conti in June 2020,” Abrams <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/LawrenceAbrams/status/1499046186942144523">wrote on Twitter</a> . “However, based on chats, some affiliates didn’t know that Ryuk and Conti were run by the same people.” <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/03/conti-ransomware-group-diaries-part-ii-the-office/#more-58690">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/03/conti-ransomware-group-diaries-part-ii-the-office/">Conti Ransomware Group Diaries, Part II: The Office</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220303-040549/ Thu, 03 Mar 2022 04:05:47 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220303-040549/ <ol> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/google-mandates-workers-back-silicon-valley-other-offices-april-4-2022-03-02/">Google mandates workers back to Silicon Valley, other offices from April 4</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=reuters.com">reuters.com</a> )<br></li> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://gomakethings.com/spas-were-a-mistake/">SPAs Were a Mistake</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=gomakethings.com">gomakethings.com</a> )<br> 526 points by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=andrei_says_">andrei_says_</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30528473">12 hours ago</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30528473">433 comments</a><br></li> </ol> https://www.whatsupup.com/con/circumflex/hotfooting/20220303-040429/ Thu, 03 Mar 2022 04:04:29 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/con/circumflex/hotfooting/20220303-040429/ <p>MAY 23-26, 2022 AT THE HYATT REGENCY, SAN FRANCISCO, CA, & ONLINE<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.ieee-security.org/TC/SP2022/venue.html">Hotel registration is now open</a><br></p> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="mailto:sp22-local@ieee-security.org">Site Chair</a> Regan Robertson ExecutivEvents, Inc.<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="mailto:sp22-registration@ieee-security.org">Registration Manager</a> Maddie Berglund ExecutivEvents, Inc.<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/companies/jayvee/descrier/20220303-040035/ Thu, 03 Mar 2022 04:00:35 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/companies/jayvee/descrier/20220303-040035/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://tv.apple.com/show/umc.cmc.4fcexvzqezr25p9weks6sxpob?itscg=10000&itsct=atv-apl_hp-pmo_wch-JonStew5-220302">Stream new episode</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/news/spearheading/harden/20220303-001819/ Thu, 03 Mar 2022 00:18:19 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/news/spearheading/harden/20220303-001819/ Democracies are in many ways like the internet.

The chat logs offer a fascinating glimpse into the challenges of running a sprawling criminal enterprise with more than 100 salaried employees. The records also provide insight into how Conti has dealt with its own internal breaches and attacks from private security firms and foreign governments.<br> Conti’s threatening message this week regarding international interference in Ukraine.<br> Conti makes international news headlines each week when it publishes to its dark web blog new information stolen from ransomware victims who refuse to pay an extortion demand. In response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Conti <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/russia-based-ransomware-group-conti-issues-warning-kremlin-foes-2022-02-25/">published a statement</a> announcing its “full support.”<br> “If anybody will decide to organize a cyberattack or any war activities against Russia, we are going to use all our possible resources to strike back at the critical infrastructures of an enemy,” the Conti blog post read.<br> On Sunday, Feb. 27, a new Twitter account “ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/contileaks">Contileaks</a> ” posted links to an archive of chat messages taken from Conti’s private communications infrastructure, dating from January 29, 2021 to the present day. Shouting “Glory for Ukraine,” the Contileaks account has since published additional Conti employee conversations from June 22, 2020 to Nov. 16, 2020.<br> The Contileaks account did not respond to requests for comment. But Alex Holden , the Ukrainian-born founder of the Milwaukee-based cyber intelligence firm <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.holdsecurity.com">Hold Security</a> , said the person who leaked the information is not a former Conti affiliate — as many on Twitter have assumed. Rather, he said, the leaker is a Ukrainian security researcher who has chosen to stay in his country and fight.<br> “The person releasing this is a Ukrainian and a patriot,” Holden said. “He’s seeing that Conti is supporting Russia in its invasion of Ukraine, and this is his way to stop them in his mind at least.”<br> GAP #1<br> The temporal gaps in these chat records roughly correspond to times when Conti’s IT infrastructure was dismantled and/or infiltrated by security researchers, private companies, law enforcement, and national intelligence agencies. The holes in the chat logs also match up with periods of relative quiescence from the group, as it sought to re-establish its network of infected systems and dismiss its low-level staff as a security precaution.<br> On Sept. 22, 2020, the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) began <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2020/10/report-u-s-cyber-command-behind-trickbot-tricks/">a weeks-long operation</a> in which it seized control over the Trickbot botnet , a malware crime machine that has infected millions of computers and is often used to spread ransomware. Conti is one of several cybercrime groups that has regularly used Trickbot to deploy malware.<br> Once in control over Trickbot, the NSA’s hackers sent all infected systems a command telling them to disconnect themselves from the Internet servers the Trickbot overlords used to control compromised Microsoft Windows computers. On top of that, the NSA <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2020/10/attacks-aimed-at-disrupting-the-trickbot-botnet/">stuffed millions of bogus records about new victims into the Trickbot database</a> .<br> News of the Trickbot compromise was <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2020/10/attacks-aimed-at-disrupting-the-trickbot-botnet/">first published here on Oct. 2, 2020</a> , but the leaked Conti chats show that the group’s core leadership detected something was seriously wrong with their crime machine just a few hours after the initial compromise of Trickbot’s infrastructure on Sept. 22.<br> “The one who made this garbage did it very well,” wrote “ Hof ,” the handle chosen by a top Conti leader, commenting on the Trickbot malware implant that was supplied by the NSA and quickly spread to the rest of the botnet. “He knew how the bot works, i.e. he probably saw the source code, or reversed it. Plus, he somehow encrypted the config, i.e. he had an encoder and a private key, plus uploaded it all to the admin panel. It’s just some kind of sabotage.”<br> “Moreover, the bots have been flooded with such a config that they will simply work idle,” Hof explained to his team on Sept. 23, 2020. Hof noted that the intruder even kneecapped Trickbot’s built-in failsafe recovery mechanism. Trickbot was configured so that if none of the botnet’s control servers were reachable, the bots could still be recaptured and controlled by registering a pre-computed domain name on EmerDNS , a decentralized domain name system based on the Emercoin virtual currency.<br> “After a while they will download a new config via emercoin, but they will not be able to apply this config, because this saboteur has uploaded the config with the maximum [version] number, and the bot is checking that the new config [version number] should be larger than the old one,” Hof wrote. “Sorry, but this is fucked up. I don’t know how to get them back.”<br> It would take the Conti gang several weeks to rebuild its malware infrastructure, and infect tens of thousands of new Microsoft Windows systems. By late October 2020, Conti’s network of infected systems had grown to include 428 medical facilities throughout the United States. The gang’s leaders saw an opportunity to create widespread panic — if not also chaos — by deploying their ransomware simultaneously to hundreds of American healthcare organizations already struggling amid a worldwide pandemic.<br> “Fuck the clinics in the USA this week,” wrote Conti manager “Target” on Oct. 26, 2020. “There will be panic. 428 hospitals.”<br> On October 28, the FBI and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security hastily assembled a conference call with healthcare industry executives warning about an “ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2020/10/fbi-dhs-hhs-warn-of-imminent-credible-ransomware-threat-against-u-s-hospitals/">imminent cybercrime threat to U.S. hospitals and healthcare providers</a> .”<br> Follow-up reporting confirmed that at least a dozen healthcare organizations were hit with ransomware that week, but the carnage apparently was not much worse than a typical week in the healthcare sector. One information security leader in the healthcare industry told KrebsOnSecurity at the time that it wasn’t uncommon for the industry to see at least one hospital or health care facility hit with ransomware each day. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/03/conti-ransomware-group-diaries-part-i-evasion/#more-58685">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/03/conti-ransomware-group-diaries-part-i-evasion/">Conti Ransomware Group Diaries, Part I: Evasion</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220302-120542/ Wed, 02 Mar 2022 12:05:41 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220302-120542/ <ol> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.lessmilk.com/almost-pong/">Show HN: I made a web game called Almost Pong</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=lessmilk.com">lessmilk.com</a> )<br> 604 points by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=lessmilk">lessmilk</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30517626">9 hours ago</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30517626">111 comments</a><br></li> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://sive.rs/plaintext">Write plain text files</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=sive.rs">sive.rs</a> )<br> 527 points by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=sivers">sivers</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30521545">12 hours ago</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30521545">270 comments</a><br></li> </ol> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220302-080543/ Wed, 02 Mar 2022 08:05:43 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220302-080543/ <ol> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.wired.com/story/trapped-in-silicon-valleys-hidden-caste-system/">Trapped in Silicon Valley’s hidden caste system</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=wired.com">wired.com</a> )<br></li> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.ibtimes.com/zain-nadella-microsoft-ceo-satya-nadellas-son-dies-26-3418278">Zain Nadella, Satya Nadella's son, dies at 26</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=ibtimes.com">ibtimes.com</a> )<br> 503 points by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=softwarebeware">softwarebeware</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30517049">14 hours ago</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30517049">108 comments</a><br></li> </ol> https://www.whatsupup.com/news/denominate/telecast/20220302-040704/ Wed, 02 Mar 2022 04:07:04 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/news/denominate/telecast/20220302-040704/ Watch live <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="http://cnn.it/go2">CNN full coverage after President Biden's first State of the Union address</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/companies/psychopathia/regurgitation/20220302-040037/ Wed, 02 Mar 2022 04:00:37 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/companies/psychopathia/regurgitation/20220302-040037/ Live!

The West has promised tougher sanctions are coming, but experts warn these will almost certainly trigger a Russian retaliation against America and its allies, which could escalate into cyber attacks on Western financial institutions and energy infrastructure.<br> Michael Daniel is a former cybersecurity advisor to the White House during the Obama administration who now heads the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.cyberthreatalliance.org">Cyber Threat Alliance</a> , an industry group focused on sharing threat intelligence among members. Daniel said there are two primary types of cyber threats the group is concerned about potentially coming in response to sanctions on Russia.<br> The first involves what Daniel called “spillover and collateral damage” — a global malware contagion akin to a <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.wired.com/story/notpetya-cyberattack-ukraine-russia-code-crashed-the-world/">NotPeyta event</a> — basically some type of cyber weapon that has self-propagating capabilities and may even leverage a previously unknown security flaw in a widely-used piece of hardware or software.<br> Russia has been suspected of releasing <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petya_(malware)">NotPetya</a> , a large-scale cyberattack in 2017 initially aimed at Ukrainian businesses that mushroomed into an extremely disruptive and expensive global malware outbreak.<br> “The second level [is that] in retaliation for sanctions or perceived interference, Russia steps up more direct attacks on Western organizations,” Daniel said. “The Russians have shown themselves to be incredibly ingenious and creative in terms of how they come up with targets that seem to catch us by surprise. If the situation escalates in cyberspace, there could be some unanticipated organizations that end up in the crosshairs.”<br> What kinds of attacks are experts most concerned about? In part because the Russian economy is so dependent on energy exports, Russia has invested heavily in probing for weaknesses in the cyber systems that support bulk power production and distribution.<br> Ukraine has long been used as the testing grounds for Russian offensive hacking capabilities targeting power infrastructure. State-backed Russian hackers have been blamed for <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.wired.com/2016/03/inside-cunning-unprecedented-hack-ukraines-power-grid/">the Dec. 23, 2015 cyberattack on Ukraine’s power grid</a> that left 230,000 customers shivering in the dark.<br> Experts warn that Russia could just as easily use its arsenal of sneaky cyber exploits against energy systems that support U.S. and European nations. In 2014, then National Security Agency Director Mike Roger s <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-11-20/foreign-governments-have-hacked-u-s-power-system-nsa-head-says">told lawmakers</a> that hackers had been breaking into U.S. power utilities to probe for weaknesses, and that Russia had been caught planting malware in the same kind of industrial computers used by power utilities.<br> “All of that leads me to believe it is only a matter of when, not if, we are going to see something dramatic,” Rogers said at the time.<br> That haunting prophecy is ringing anew as European leaders work on hammering out additional sanctions, which the European Commission president says will restrict the Russian economy’s ability to function by starving it of important technology and access to finance.<br> A draft of the new penalties obtained by The New York Times would see the European Union ban the export of aircraft and spare parts that are necessary for the maintenance of Russian fleets.<br> “The bloc will also ban the export of specialized oil-refining technology as well as semiconductors, and it will penalize more banks — although it will stop short of targeting VTB, Russia’s second-largest bank, which is already crippled by American and British sanctions,” The Times <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/25/world/europe/eu-russian-sanctions.html">wrote</a> .<br> Dmitri Alperovitch is co-founder and former chief technology officer at the security firm CrowdStrike . Writing for The Economist , Alperovitch said America must tailor its response carefully to avoid initiating a pattern of escalation that could result in a potentially devastating hot war with Russia.<br> “The proposed combination of sanctions on top Russian banks and implementation of export controls on semiconductors would be likely to severely debilitate the Russian economy,” Alperovitch <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.economist.com/by-invitation/2022/02/23/dmitri-alperovitch-on-the-risks-of-escalation">wrote</a> . “And although many in the West may initially cheer this outcome as righteous punishment for Russia’s blatant violation of Ukrainian sovereignty, these measures will probably trigger significant Russian retaliation against America. That prospect all but guarantees that the conflict will not come to an end with an invasion of Ukraine.”<br> Faced with a potentially existential threat to its economic well-being — and seeing itself as having nothing more to lose — Russia will have several tools at its disposal with which to respond, he said: One of those will be carrying out cyber-attacks against American and European financial institutions and energy infrastructure.<br> “Having already exhausted the power of economic sanctions, America and its European allies would have few choices other than to respond to these attacks with offensive cyber-strikes of their own,” Alperovitch wrote. “This pattern of tit-for-tat cyber retaliation could place Russia and the West on a worrying path. It could end with the conflict spilling out of cyberspace and into the realm of a hot conflict. This outcome—a hot conflict between two nuclear powers with extensive cyber capabilities—is one that everyone in the world should be anxious to avoid.”<br> In May 2021, Russian cybercriminals unleashed <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/05/a-closer-look-at-the-darkside-ransomware-gang/">a ransomware attack against Colonial Pipeline</a> , a major fuel distributor in the United States. The resulting outage caused fuel shortages and price spikes across the nation. Alperovitch says a retaliation from Russia in response to sanctions could make the Colonial Pipeline attack seem paltry by comparison.<br> “The colonial pipeline is going to be like child’s play if the Russians truly unleash all their capability,” Alperovitch told CNBC this week.<br> For example, having your organization’s computers and servers locked by ransomware may seem like a day at the park compared to getting hit with “wiper” malware that simply overwrites or corrupts data on infected systems.<br> Kim Zetter , a veteran Wired reporter who now runs her own <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/">cybersecurity-focused Substack newsletter</a> , has painstakingly documented two separate wiper attacks launched in the lead-up to the Russian invasion that targeted Ukrainian government and contractor networks, as well as systems in Latvia and Lithuania.<br> One contractor interviewed by Zetter said the wiper attacks appeared to be extremely targeted, going after organizations that support the Ukrainian government — regardless of where those organizations are physically located. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank"

target="_blank" href="https://security.googleblog.com/2022/02/mitigating-kernel-risks-on-32-bit-arm.html">Mitigating kernel risks on 32-bit ARM</a><br></p> <hr> Posted by Ard Biesheuvel, Google Open Source Security Team Linux kernel support for the 32-bit ARM architecture was contributed in the late 90s, when there was little corporate involvement in Linux development, and most contributors were students or hobbyists, tinkering with development boards, often without much in the way of documentation.<br> Now 20+ years later, 32-bit ARM's maintainer has downgraded its support level to <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://git.kernel.org/linus/18bd49043caa8b272649d4868c29133eb0a3d143">'odd fixes</a> ,' while remaining active as a kernel contributor. This is a common pattern for aging and obsolete architectures: corporate funding for Linux kernel development has tremendously increased the pace of development, but only for architectures with a high return on investment. As a result, the 32-bit ARM port of Linux is essentially in maintenance-only mode, and lacks core Linux advancements such as THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK or VMAP_STACK, which protect against stack overflow attacks. The lack of developer attention does not imply that the 32-bit ARM port has ceased to make economic sense, though. Instead, it has evolved from being one of the spearheads of Linux innovation to a stable and mature platform, and while funding its upstream development may not make sense in the long term, deploying 32-bit ARM into the field today most certainly still makes economic sense when margins are razor thin and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_of_materials">BOM</a> costs need to be kept to an absolute minimum. This is why 32-bit ARM is still widely used in embedded systems like set-top boxes and wireless routers.<br> Running 32-bit Linux on 64-bit ARM systems Ironically, at these low price points, the DRAM is actually the dominant component in terms of BOM cost, and many of these 32-bit ARM systems incorporate a cheap ARMv8 <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_on_a_chip">SoC</a> that happens to be capable of running in 64-bit mode as well. The reason for running 32-bit applications nonetheless is that these generally use less of the expensive DRAM, and can be deployed directly without the need to recompile the binaries. As 32-bit applications don't need a 64-bit kernel (which itself uses more memory due to its internal use of 64-bit pointers), the product ships with a 32-bit kernel instead. If you're choosing to use a 32-bit kernel for its smaller memory footprint, it's not without risks. You'll likely experience performance issues, unpatched vulnerabilities, and unexpected misbehaviors such as:<br> 32-bit kernels generally cannot manage more than 1 GiB of physical memory without resorting to HIGHMEM bouncing, and cannot provide a full virtual address space of 4 GiB to user space, as 64-bit kernels can.<br> Side channels or other flaws caused by silicon errata may exist that haven't been mitigated in 32-bit kernels. For example, the hardening against Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities were only done for ARMv7 32-bit only CPUs, and many ARMv8 cores running in 32-bit mode may still be vulnerable (only Cortex-A73 and A75 are handled specifically). And in general, silicon flaws in 64-bit parts that affect the 32-bit kernel are less likely to be found or documented, simply because the silicon validation teams don’t prioritize them.<br> The 32-bit ARM kernel does not implement the elaborate <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/CUAXCeRjw3c?t=2687">alternatives patching framework</a> that is used by other architectures to implement handling of silicon errata, which are particular to certain revisions of certain CPUs. Instead, on 32-bit multiplatform kernels, we simply enable all errata workarounds that may be needed by any of the cores that may ever run the image in question, potentially affecting performance unnecessarily on cores that have no need for them.<br> Silicon vendors are phasing out 32-bit support in the longer term. Given an ecosystem containing a handful of operating systems and thousands of applications, support for 32-bit operating systems (which is more complex technically) is highly likely to be dropped first. For products with longer life cycles, long-term procurement contracts for components available today are usually much more costly than adjusting the BOM over time and using newer, cheaper parts.<br> The 32-bit kernel does not implement <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=f80fb3a3d50843a401dac4b566b3b131da8077a2">kernel address space randomization</a> , and even if it did, its comparatively tiny address space simply leaves very little space for randomization. Other hardening features, such as <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=c55191e96caa9">rodata=full</a> or <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=87143f404f338">hierarchical eXecute Never attributes</a> , are missing as well on 32-bit, and are not likely to be implemented, either due to lack of support in the architecture, or because of the complexity of the 32-bit memory management code, which still supports all of the different architecture revisions dating back to the initial Linux port running on the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risc_PC">Risc PC</a> .<br> Keeping the 32-bit ARM kernel secure There are cases, though, where using the 32-bit kernel is the only option, e.g., if the CPUs are in fact 32-bit only (which is the case even for some ARMv8 cores such as Cortex-A32), or when relying on an existing 32-bit only codebase running in the kernel (drivers for legacy peripherals). Note that in such cases, it still makes sense to use the most recent kernel version compatible with the hardware, since we are in fact making an effort to enable some of the existing hardening features on 32-bit ARM as well.<br> THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK for v7 SMP cores<br> The v5.16 release of the Linux kernel <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=18ed1c01a7dd3d7c780b06a49124da237a4c1790">implements</a> support for THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK when running on ARMv7 SMP systems. This protects the kernel's per-task bookkeeping (called thread_info), which lives on the far (and normally unused) end of the stack, against stack overflows which may occur in rare -yet sometimes exploitable- cases where the control flow of the program simply ends up accumulating more state than the stack can hold. (Note that a stack overflow is not the same as a stack buffer overflow, where the overflow happens in the opposite direction.)<br> By moving thread_info off the stack and into the kernel heap, and by using a special SMP CPU register to keep track of its location, we can mitigate the risk of stack overflows resulting in thread_info corruption. However, it does not prevent stack overflows themselves: these may still occur, and result in corruption of other data structures that happen to be adjacent to the task stack in memory.<br> THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK for other cores<br> For CPUs that lack this special SMP CPU register, we also proposed an implementation of THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK that is expected to land in v5.18. Instead of a special register, it uses a global variable to keep track of the location of thread_info.<br> VMAP_STACK support<br> Preventing stack overflows from corrupting unrelated memory contents is the goal of VMAP_STACK, which we are <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20211122092816.2865873-1-ardb@kernel.org/">enabling for 32-bit ARM</a> as well. When VMAP_STACK is enabled, kernel mode stacks are allocated from the kernel heap as before, but mapped into a different part of the kernel's address space, and surrounded by guard regions, which are guaranteed to be kept unpopulated. Given that accesses to such unpopulated regions will trigger an exception, the kernel's memory management layer can step in and terminate the program as soon as a stack overflow occurs, and prevent it from causing memory corruption.<br> Support for IRQ stacks Coming up with a bounded worst case on which to base the size of the kernel stack is rather hard, especially given the fact that it is shared between the program itself and any exception handling routines that may be called on its behalf, including interrupt handlers. To mitigate the risk of a pathological worst case occurring, where an interrupt fires that needs a lot of stack space right at a time when most of the stack is already being used by the program, we are also <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20211115084732.3704393-1-ardb@kernel.org/">enabling IRQ_STACKS for 32-bit ARM</a> , which will run handlers of both hard and soft interrupts from a dedicated stack, one for each CPU.

In lieu of providing biometric data, taxpayers can now opt for a live video interview with ID.me , the privately-held Virginia company that runs the agency’s identity proofing system. The IRS also said any biometric data already shared with ID.me would be permanently deleted over the next few weeks, and any biometric data provided for new signups will be destroyed after an account is created.<br> “Taxpayers will have the option of verifying their identity during a live, virtual interview with agents; no biometric data – including facial recognition – will be required if taxpayers choose to authenticate their identity through a virtual interview,” the IRS said in <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-statement-new-features-put-in-place-for-irs-online-account-registration-process-strengthened-to-ensure-privacy-and-security">a Feb. 21 statement</a> .<br> “Taxpayers will still have the option to verify their identity automatically through the use of biometric verification through ID.me’s self-assistance tool if they choose,” the IRS explained. “For taxpayers who select this option, new requirements are in place to ensure images provided by taxpayers are deleted for the account being created. Any existing biometric data from taxpayers who previously created an IRS Online Account that has already been collected will also be permanently deleted over the course of the next few weeks.”<br> In addition, the IRS said it planned to roll out Login.gov as an authentication tool for those seeking access to their tax records online. Login.gov is a single sign-on solution already used to access 200 websites run by 28 federal agencies.<br> “The General Services Administration is currently working with the IRS to achieve the security standards and scale required of Login.Gov, with the goal of moving toward introducing this option after the 2022 filing deadline,” the agency wrote. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/02/irs-selfies-now-optional-biometric-data-to-be-deleted/#more-58627">Continue reading →</a><br> Missouri Governor Mike Parson made headlines last year when he <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/10/missouri-governor-vows-to-prosecute-st-louis-post-dispatch-for-reporting-security-vulnerability/">vowed to criminally prosecute a journalist</a> for reporting a security flaw in a state website that exposed personal information of more than 100,000 teachers. But Missouri prosecutors now say they will not pursue charges following revelations that the data had been exposed since 2011 — two years after responsibility for securing the state’s IT systems was centralized within Parson’s own Office of Administration.<br> In October 2021, St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.stltoday.com/users/profile/jrenaud">Josh Renaud</a> alerted Missouri education department officials that their website was exposing the Social Security numbers of more than 100,000 primary and secondary teachers in the state. Renaud found teachers’ SSNs were accessible in the HTML source code of some Missouri education department webpages.<br> After confirming that state IT officials had secured the exposed teacher data, the Post-Dispatch <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/education/missouri-teachers-social-security-numbers-at-risk-on-state-agencys-website/article_f3339700-ece0-54a1-9a45-f300321b7c82.html">ran a story about their findings</a> . Gov. Parson responded by holding a press conference in which he vowed his administration would seek to prosecute and investigate “the hackers” and anyone who aided the publication in its “attempt to embarrass the state and sell headlines for their news outlet.”<br> “The state is committed to bringing to justice anyone who hacked our systems or anyone who aided them to do so,” Parson said in October. “A hacker is someone who gains unauthorized access to information or content. This individual did not have permission to do what they did.

It is where conversations for the next-big-thing are happening.<br> To see what BSides means to the community, check out the page: <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="http://www.securitybsides.com/w/page/87930010/What%20BSides%20Means">What BSides Means to Me</a><br> Please send an email to info@securitybsides.org if you would like to organize a Security BSides event in a city which is not already on the map.

The ICRC now says the hackers broke in on Nov. 9, 2021, using an unpatched critical vulnerability (CVE-2021-40539). “This vulnerability allows malicious cyber actors to place web shells and conduct post-exploitation activities such as compromising administrator credentials, conducting lateral movement, and exfiltrating registry hives and Active Directory files. Once inside our network, the hackers were able to deploy offensive security tools which allowed them to disguise themselves as legitimate users or administrators. This in turn allowed them to access the data, despite this data being encrypted.”<br> Original story:<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220217-000545/ Thu, 17 Feb 2022 00:05:44 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220217-000545/ <ol> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://rsk0315.github.io/playground/passwordle.html">Passwordle</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=rsk0315.github.io">rsk0315.github.io</a> )<br> 585 points by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=snthueoa">snthueoa</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30361850">7 hours ago</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30361850">165 comments</a><br></li> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://ellie.wtf/ipod/">Building an iPod for 2022</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=ellie.wtf">ellie.wtf</a> )<br> 501 points by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=hownottowrite">hownottowrite</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30345399">1 day ago</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30345399">146 comments</a><br></li> </ol> https://www.whatsupup.com/con/encephalon/bamboozle/20220217-000507/ Thu, 17 Feb 2022 00:05:07 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/con/encephalon/bamboozle/20220217-000507/ Exhibitor and Sponsorship Opportunities are now available.<br> August 29 - September 1, 2022<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/software/composite/colluder/20220216-201809/ Wed, 16 Feb 2022 20:18:09 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/software/composite/colluder/20220216-201809/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.mozilla.org/en/privacy-security/how-to-secure-data-online/">Privacy & Security How to secure your data in less than 10 minutes Read More</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/news/spearheading/harden/20220216-201635/ Wed, 16 Feb 2022 20:16:35 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/news/spearheading/harden/20220216-201635/ Lacking ink, the label-printing market has been spared the kinds of shenanigans that plague the world of inkjets…until now.<br> A federal judge has rejected Clearview AI’s First Amendment defense, denied the company’s motion to dismiss, and allowed the lawsuits to move forward.

KrebsOnSecurity has learned that the email address used by a cybercriminal actor who offered to sell the stolen ICRC data also was used to register multiple domain names the FBI says are tied to a sprawling media influence operation originating from Iran.<br> On Jan. 19, the ICRC disclosed the compromise of servers hosting the personal information of more than 500,000 people receiving services from the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Red_Cross_and_Red_Crescent_Movement">Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement</a> . The ICRC said the hacked servers contained data relating to the organization’s Restoring Family Links services, which works to reconnect people separated by war, violence, migration and other causes.<br> The same day the ICRC went public with its breach, someone using the nickname “ Sheriff ” on the English-language cybercrime forum RaidForums advertised the sale of data from the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. Sheriff’s sales thread suggests the ICRC was asked to pay a ransom to guarantee the data wouldn’t be leaked or sold online.<br> “Mr. Mardini, your words have been heard,” Sheriff wrote, posting a link to the Twitter profile of ICRC General Director Robert Mardini and urging forum members to tell him to check his email. “Check your email and send a figure you can pay.”<br> RaidForums member “unindicted” aka Sheriff selling access to the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement data. Image: Ke-la.com<br> In their <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.icrc.org/en/document/cyber-attack-icrc-what-we-know">online statement about the hack</a> (updated on Feb. 7) the ICRC said it had not had any contact with the hackers, and no ransom demand had been made.<br> “In line with our standing practice to engage with any actor who can facilitate or impede our humanitarian work, we are willing to communicate directly and confidentially with whoever may be responsible for this operation to impress upon them the need to respect our humanitarian action,” the ICRC statement reads.<br> Asked to comment on Sheriff’s claims, the ICRC issued the following statement:<br> “Right now, we do not have any conclusive evidence that this information from the data breach has been published or is being traded. Our cybersecurity team has looked into any reported allegation of data being available on the dark web.”<br> The email address that Sheriff used to register at RaidForums — <a href="mailto:kelvinmiddelkoop@hotmail.com">kelvinmiddelkoop@hotmail.com</a> — appears in <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndca/press-release/file/1334571/download">an affidavit for a search warrant filed by the FBI</a> roughly a year ago. That FBI warrant came on the heels of <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.mandiant.com/resources/report-suspected-iranian-influence-operation">an investigation published by security firm FireEye</a> , which examined an Iranian-based network of inauthentic news sites and social media accounts aimed at the United States., U.K. and other western audiences.<br> “This operation is leveraging a network of inauthentic news sites and clusters of associated accounts across multiple social media platforms to promote political narratives in line with Iranian interests,” FireEye researchers wrote. “These narratives include anti-Saudi, anti-Israeli, and pro-Palestinian themes, as well as support for specific U.S. policies favorable to Iran.”<br> The FBI says the domains registered by the email address tied to Sheriff’s RaidForums account were used in service of the Liberty Front Press, a network of phony news sites thought to originate from Iran.<br> According to the FBI affidavit, the address <a href="mailto:kelvinmiddelkoop@hotmail.com">kelvinmiddelkoop@hotmail.com</a> was used to register at least three different domains for phony news sites, including awdnews[.]com, sachtimes[.]com, and whatsupic[.]com. A reverse WHOIS search on that email address at <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.domaintools.com">DomainTools.com</a> (an advertiser on this site) shows it was used to register 17 domains between 2012 and 2021, including moslimyouthmedia[.]com, moslempress[.]com, and realneinovosti[.]net. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/02/red-cross-hack-linked-to-iranian-influence-operation/#more-58533">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/02/red-cross-hack-linked-to-iranian-influence-operation/">Red Cross Hack Linked to Iranian Influence Operation?</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220216-200515/ Wed, 16 Feb 2022 20:05:15 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220216-200515/ <ol start="3"> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://lab.allotropia.de/wasm/">LibreOffice running natively in the browser via WebAssembly</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=allotropia.de">allotropia.de</a> )<br> 511 points by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=syrusakbary">syrusakbary</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30356020">16 hours ago</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30356020">195 comments</a><br></li> </ol> https://www.whatsupup.com/lang/coastline/hollowed/20220216-200103/ Wed, 16 Feb 2022 20:01:03 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/lang/coastline/hollowed/20220216-200103/ In 2018, the Rust community decided to improve the programming experience for a few distinct domains (see <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2018/03/12/roadmap.html">the 2018 roadmap</a> ).

We launched an <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://security.googleblog.com/2021/11/trick-treat-paying-leets-and-sweets-for.html">expansion</a> of kCTF VRP on November 1, 2021 in which we paid 31,337 to 50,337 USD to those that are able to compromise our kCTF cluster and obtain a flag. We increased our rewards because we recognized that in order to attract the attention of the community we needed to match our rewards to their expectations. We consider the expansion to have been a success, and because of that we would like to extend it even further to at least until the end of the year (2022). During the last three months, we received 9 submissions and paid over 175,000 USD so far. The submissions included five 0days and two 1days. Three of these are already fixed and are public: <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2021-4154">CVE-2021-4154</a> , <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2021-22600">CVE-2021-22600</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=ec6af094ea28f0f2dda1a6a33b14cd57e36a9755">patch</a> ) and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2022-0185">CVE-2022-0185</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.willsroot.io/2022/01/cve-2022-0185.html">writeup</a> ). These three bugs were first found by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://syzkaller.appspot.com/upstream">Syzkaller</a> , and two of them had already been fixed on the mainline and stable versions of the Linux Kernel at the time they were reported to us. Based on our experience these last 3 months, we made a few improvements to the submission process:<br> Reporting a 0day will not require including a flag at first. We heard some concerns from participants that exploiting a 0day in the shared cluster could leak it to other participants. As such, we will only ask for the exploit checksum (but you still have to exploit the bug and submit the flag within a week after the patch is merged on <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux">mainline</a> ). Please make sure that your exploit <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://cloud.google.com/container-optimized-os/docs/concepts/security#security-hardened_kernel">works on COS</a> with minimal modifications (test it on your own <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/google/google-ctf/tree/master/vrp">kCTF cluster</a> ), as some common exploit primitives (like eBPF and userfaultfd) might not be available.<br> Reporting a 1day will require including a link to the patch. We will automatically publish the patches of all submissions if the flag is valid. We also encourage you all to include a link to a Syzkaller dashboard report if applicable in order to help reduce duplicate submissions and so you can see which bugs were exploited already.<br> You will be able to submit the exploit in the same form you submit the flag. If you had submitted an exploit checksum for a 0day, please make sure that you include the original exploit as well as the final exploit and make sure to submit it within a week after the patch is merged on <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux">mainline</a> . The original exploit shouldn't require major modifications to work. Note that we need to be able to understand your exploit, so please add comments to explain what it is doing.<br> We are now running two clusters, one on the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/release-notes-regular">REGULAR</a> release channel and another one on the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/release-notes-rapid">RAPID</a> release channel. This should provide more flexibility whenever a vulnerability is only exploitable on modern versions of the Linux Kernel or Kubernetes.<br> We are also changing the reward structure slightly. Going forward the rewards will be:<br> 31,337 USD to the first valid exploit submission for a given vulnerability. This will only be paid once per vulnerability and only once per cluster version/build (available at /etc/node-os-release).<br> 0 USD for exploits for duplicate exploits for the same vulnerability. The bonuses below might still apply.<br> Bonuses<br> 20,000 USD for exploits for 0day vulnerabilities. This will only be paid once per vulnerability to the first valid exploit submission.<br> To submit 0days, please test your exploit (we recommend to test it on your own kCTF cluster to avoid leaking it to other participants), make a checksum and send the checksum to us. Within a week after the vulnerability is fixed on the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux">mainline</a> , submit the form as a 1day and include the exploit of which you sent a checksum to us.<br> 20,000 USD for exploits for vulnerabilities that do not require unprivileged user namespaces (CLONE_NEWUSER). This will only be paid once per vulnerability to the first valid exploit submission.<br> Our test lab allows unprivileged user namespaces, so we will manually check the exploits to check if they work without unprivileged user namespaces when deciding whether to issue the bonus. We decided to issue additional rewards for exploits that do not require unprivileged user namespaces because containers <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/3c06ebd876687555fdf030a3307a66908c4fa57c/profiles/seccomp/default_linux.go#L576">default seccomp policy</a> does not allow the use of unprivileged user namespaces on containers that are run without CAP_SYS_ADMIN. This feature is now <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/security/seccomp/">available</a> on Kubernetes and all nodes running on <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/concepts/autopilot-overview#container_isolation">GKE Autopilot</a> have it enabled by default.<br> 20,000 USD for exploits using novel exploit techniques. This is a bonus in addition to the base rewards (applies for duplicate exploits). To qualify for this additional reward please send us a write-up explaining it.<br> An example of something considered as a novel technique could be the exploitation of previously unknown objects to transform a limited primitive into a more powerful one, such as an arbitrary/out-of-bounds read/write or arbitrary free. For example, in all our submissions, researchers leveraged message queues to achieve kernel information leaks. We are looking for similarly powerful techniques that allow heap exploits to be “plugged in” and immediately allow kernel access. Another example is bypassing a common security mitigation or a technique for exploiting a class of vulnerabilities more reliably.<br> These changes increase some 1day exploits to 71,337 USD (up from 31,337 USD), and makes it so that the maximum reward for a single exploit is 91,337 USD (up from 50,337 USD). We also are going to pay even for duplicates at least 20,000 USD if they demonstrate novel exploit techniques (up from 0 USD). However, we will also limit the number of rewards for 1days to only one per version/build. There are 12-18 <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/release-notes">GKE releases</a> per year on each channel, and we have two clusters on different channels, so we will pay the 31,337 USD base rewards up to 36 times (no limit for the bonuses). While we don't expect every upgrade to have a valid 1day submission, we would love to learn otherwise. You can find the flag submission status for our clusters (and their versions) <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://google.github.io/kctf/vrp#notes">here</a> .

Wazawaka has since “lost his mind” according to his erstwhile colleagues, creating a Twitter account to drop exploit code for a widely-used virtual private networking (VPN) appliance, and publishing bizarre selfie videos taunting security researchers and journalists.<br> Wazawaka, a.k.a. Mikhail P. Matveev, a.k.a. “Orange,” a.k.a. “Boriselcin,” showing off his missing ring finger.<br> In <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/01/who-is-the-network-access-broker-wazawaka/">last month’s story</a> , we explored clues that led from Wazawaka’s multitude of monikers, email addresses, and passwords to a 30-something father in Abakan, Russia named Mikhail Pavlovich Matveev . This post concerns itself with the other half of Wazawaka’s identities not mentioned in the first story, such as how Wazawaka also ran the Babuk ransomware affiliate program, and later became “ Orange ,” the founder of the ransomware-focused Dark Web forum known as “ RAMP .”<br> The same day the initial profile on Wazawaka was published here, someone registered the Twitter account “ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/waza-twitter.png">@fuck_maze</a> ,” a possible reference to the now-defunct Maze Ransomware gang.<br> The background photo for the @fuck_maze profile included a logo that read “Waka Waka;” the bio for the account took a swipe at <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/ddd1ms?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">Dmitry Smilyanets</a> , a researcher and blogger for <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://therecord.media">The Record</a> who was once part of a cybercrime group the Justice Department <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/russian-national-admits-role-largest-known-data-breach-conspiracy-ever-prosecuted">called</a> the “largest known data breach conspiracy ever prosecuted.”<br> The @fuck_maze account messaged me a few times on Twitter, but largely stayed silent until Jan. 25, when it tweeted three videos of a man who appeared identical to <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/wazawaka-vk.png">Matveev’s social media profile on Vkontakte</a> (the Russian version of Facebook). The man seemed to be slurring his words quite a bit, and started by hurling obscenities at Smilyanets, journalist <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/campuscodi">Catalin Cimpanu</a> (also at The Record), and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/AShukuhi">a security researcher from Cisco Talos</a> .<br> At the beginning of the videos, Matveev holds up his left hand to demonstrate that his ring finger is missing. This he smugly presents as evidence that he is indeed Wazawaka.<br> The story goes that Wazwaka at one point made a bet wherein he wagered his finger, and upon losing the bet severed it himself. It’s unclear if that is the real story about how Wazawaka lost the ring finger on his left hand; his remaining fingers appear oddly crooked.<br> “Hello Brian Krebs! You did a really great job actually, really well, fucking great — it’s great that journalism works so well in the US,” Matveev said in the video. “By the way, it is my voice in the background, I just love myself a lot.”<br> In one of his three videos, Wazawaka says he’s going to release exploit code for a security vulnerability. Later that same day, the @fuck_maze account posted a link to a Pastebin-like site that included working exploit code for a recently patched security hole in SonicWall VPN appliances ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://psirt.global.sonicwall.com/vuln-detail/SNWLID-2021-0017">CVE-2021-20028</a> ).<br> When KrebsOnSecurity first started researching Wazawaka in 2021, it appeared this individual also used two other important nicknames on the Russian-speaking crime forums. One was Boriselcin , a particularly talkative and brash personality who was simultaneously the public persona of Babuk, a ransomware affiliate program that surfaced on New Year’s Eve 2020.<br> The other handle that appeared tied to Wazawaka was “Orange,” the founder of <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://ke-la.com/new-russian-speaking-forum-a-new-place-for-raas/">the RAMP ransomware forum</a> . I just couldn’t convincingly connect those two identities with Wazawaka using the information available at the time.

This is a significant acceleration from an average of about 80 days 3 years ago.<br> In addition to the average now being well below the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/p/vulnerability-disclosure-faq.html">90-day deadline</a> , we have also seen a dropoff in vendors missing the deadline (or the additional <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/p/vulnerability-disclosure-faq.html#deadlinemiss">14-day grace period</a> ). In 2021, only one bug exceeded its fix deadline, though 14% of bugs required the grace period.<br> Differences in the amount of time it takes a vendor/product to ship a fix to users reflects their product design, development practices, update cadence, and general processes towards security reports. We hope that this comparison can showcase best practices, and encourage vendors to experiment with new policies.<br> This data aggregation and analysis is relatively new for Project Zero, but we hope to do it more in the future. We encourage all vendors to consider publishing aggregate data on their time-to-fix and time-to-patch for externally reported vulnerabilities, as well as more data sharing and transparency in general.<br> Overview<br> For nearly ten years, Google’s Project Zero has been working to make it more difficult for bad actors to find and exploit security vulnerabilities, significantly improving the security of the Internet for everyone. In that time, we have partnered with folks across industry to transform the way organizations prioritize and approach fixing security vulnerabilities and updating people’s software.<br> To help contextualize the shifts we are seeing the ecosystem make, we looked back at the set of vulnerabilities Project Zero has been reporting, how a range of vendors have been responding to them, and then attempted to identify trends in this data , such as how the industry as a whole is patching vulnerabilities faster.<br> For this post, we look at fixed bugs that were reported between January 2019 and December 2021 (2019 is the year we made changes to our disclosure policies and also began recording more detailed metrics on our reported bugs). The data we'll be referencing is publicly available on the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/list">Project Zero Bug Tracker</a> , and on various open source project repositories (in the case of the data used below to track the timeline of open-source browser bugs).<br> There are a number of caveats with our data, the largest being that we'll be looking at a small number of samples, so differences in numbers may or may not be statistically significant. Also, the direction of Project Zero's research is almost entirely influenced by the choices of individual researchers, so changes in our research targets could shift metrics as much as changes in vendor behaviors could. As much as possible, this post is designed to be an objective presentation of the data, with additional subjective analysis included at the end.<br> The data!<br> Between 2019 and 2021, Project Zero reported <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com">376 issues</a> to vendors under our standard 90-day deadline. 351 (93.4%) of these bugs have been fixed, while 14 (3.7%) have been marked as WontFix by the vendor s. 11 (2.9%) other bugs remain unfixed, though at the time of this writing 8 have passed their deadline to be fixed; the remaining 3 are still within their deadline to be fixed. Most of the vulnerabilities are clustered around a few vendors, with 96 bugs (26%) being reported to Microsoft, 85 (23%) to Apple, and 60 (16%) to Google.<br> Deadline adherence<br> Once a vendor receives a bug report under our standard deadline, they have 90 days to fix it and ship a patched version to the public. The vendor can also request a 14-day grace period if the vendor confirms they plan to release the fix by the end of that total 104-day window.<br> In this section, we'll be taking a look at how often vendors are able to hit these deadlines. The table below includes all bugs that have been reported to the vendor under the 90-day deadline since January 2019 and have since been fixed, for vendors with the most bug reports in the window.<br> Deadline adherence and fix time 2019-2021, by bug report volume<br> Vendor<br> Total bugs<br> Fixed by day 90<br> Fixed during grace period<br> Exceeded deadline<br> & grace period<br> Avg days to fix<br> Apple<br> 73 (87%)<br> Microsoft<br> Google<br> Linux<br> Adobe<br> Mozilla<br> Samsung<br> Oracle<br> Others *<br> TOTAL<br> * For completeness, the vendors included in the "Others" bucket are Apache, ASWF, Avast, AWS, c-ares, Canonical, F5, Facebook, git, Github, glibc, gnupg, gnutls, gstreamer, haproxy, Hashicorp, insidesecure, Intel, Kubernetes, libseccomp, libx264, Logmein, Node.js, opencontainers, QT, Qualcomm, RedHat, Reliance, SCTPLabs, Signal, systemd, Tencent, Tor, udisks, usrsctp, Vandyke, VietTel, webrtc, and Zoom.<br> Overall, the data show that almost all of the big vendors here are coming in under 90 days, on average. The bulk of fixes during a grace period come from Apple and Microsoft (22 out of 34 total).<br> Vendors have exceeded the deadline and grace period about 5% of the time over this period. In this slice, Oracle has exceeded at the highest rate, but admittedly with a relatively small sample size of only about 7 bugs. The next-highest rate is Microsoft, having exceeded 4 of their 80 deadlines.<br> Average number of days to fix bugs across all vendors is 61 days. Zooming in on just that stat, we can break it out by year:<br> Bug fix time 2019-2021, by bug report volume<br> Bugs in 2019<br> (avg days to fix)<br> 61 (71)<br> Others*<br> * For completeness, the vendors included in the "Others" bucket are Adobe, Apache, ASWF, Avast, AWS, c-ares, Canonical, F5, Facebook, git, Github, glibc, gnupg, gnutls, gstreamer, haproxy, Hashicorp, insidesecure, Intel, Kubernetes, libseccomp, libx264, Logmein, Mozilla, Node.js, opencontainers, Oracle, QT, Qualcomm, RedHat, Reliance, Samsung, SCTPLabs, Signal, systemd, Tencent, Tor, udisks, usrsctp, Vandyke, VietTel, webrtc, and Zoom.<br> From this, we can see a few things: first of all, the overall time to fix has consistently been decreasing, but most significantly between 2019 and 2020. Microsoft, Apple, and Linux overall have reduced their time to fix during the period, whereas Google sped up in 2020 before slowing down again in 2021. Perhaps most impressively, the others not represented on the chart have collectively cut their time to fix in more than half, though it's possible this represents a change in research targets rather than a change in practices for any particular vendor.<br> Finally, focusing on just 2021, we see:<br> Only <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com">1 deadline exceeded</a> , versus an average of 9 per year in the other two years<br> The grace period used 9 times (notably with half being by Microsoft), versus the slightly lower average of 12.5 in the other years<br> Mobile phones<br> Since the products in the previous table span a range of types (desktop operating systems, mobile operating systems, browsers), we can also focus on a particular, hopefully more apples-to-apples comparison: mobile phone operating systems.<br> Avg fix time<br> iOS<br> Android (Samsung)<br> Android (Pixel)<br> The first thing to note is that it appears that iOS received remarkably more bug reports from Project Zero than any flavor of Android did during this time period, but rather than an imbalance in research target selection, this is more a reflection of how Apple ships software. Security updates for "apps" such as iMessage, Facetime, and Safari/WebKit are all shipped as part of the OS updates, so we include those in the analysis of the operating system. On the other hand, security updates for standalone apps on Android happen through the Google Play Store, so they are not included here in this analysis.<br> Despite that, all three vendors have an extraordinarily similar average time to fix. With the data we have available, it's hard to determine how much time is spent on each part of the vulnerability lifecycle (e.g. triage, patch authoring, testing, etc). However, open-source products do provide a window into where time is spent.<br> Browsers<br> For most software, we aren't able to dig into specifics of the timeline. Specifically: after a vendor receives a report of a security issue, how much of the "time to fix" is spent between the bug report and landing the fix , and how much time is spent between landing that fix and releasing a build with the fix? The one window we do have is into open-source software, and specific to the type of vulnerability research that Project Zero does, open-source browsers.<br> Fix time analysis for open-source browsers , by bug volume<br> Browser<br> Bugs<br> Avg days from bug report to public patch<br> Avg days from public patch to release<br> Avg days from bug report to release<br> Chrome<br> WebKit<br> Firefox<br> Total<br> We can also take a look at the same data, but with each bug spread out in a histogram. In particular, the histogram of the amount of time from a fix being landed in public to that fix being shipped to users shows a clear story (in the table above, this corresponds to "Avg days from public patch to release" column:<br> The table and chart together tell us a few things:<br> Chrome is currently the fastest of the three browsers, with time from bug report to releasing a fix in the stable channel in 30 days . The time to patch is very fast here, with just an average of 5 days between the bug report and the patch landing in public. The time for that patch to be released to the public is the bulk of the overall time window, though overall we still see the Chrome (blue) bars of the histogram toward the left side of the histogram. (Important note: despite being housed within the same company, Project Zero follows the same policies and procedures with Chrome that an external security researcher would follow. More information on that is available in our <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/p/vulnerability-disclosure-faq.html#earlyaccess">Vulnerability Disclosure FAQ</a> .)<br> Firefox comes in second in this analysis, though with a relatively small number of data points to analyze. Firefox releases a fix on average in 38 days . A little under half of that is time for the fix to land in public, though it's important to note that Firefox … https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/ewing/undiscernibly/20220210-201524/ Thu, 10 Feb 2022 20:15:24 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/ewing/undiscernibly/20220210-201524/ <p><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://security.googleblog.com/2022/02/vulnerability-reward-program-2021-year.html">Vulnerability Reward Program: 2021 Year in Review</a><br></p> <hr> Posted by Sarah Jacobus, Vulnerability Rewards Team<br> Last year was another record setter for our Vulnerability Reward Programs (VRPs).

We’re excited about everything the new Bug Hunters portal has to offer, including:<br> More opportunities for interaction and a bit of healthy competition through gamification, per-country leaderboards, awards/badges for certain bugs, and more!<br> A more functional and aesthetically pleasing <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://bughunters.google.com/leaderboard">leaderboard</a> . We know a lot of you are using your achievements in our VRPs to find jobs (we’re hiring!) and we hope this acts as a useful resource.<br> A stronger emphasis on learning: bug hunters can improve their skills through the content available in our new <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://bughunters.google.com/learn">Bug Hunter University</a><br> Streamlined publication process: we know the value that knowledge sharing brings to our community. That’s why we want to make it easier for you to <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://bughunters.google.com/report/reports">publish your bug reports</a> .<br> We now offer <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/GoogleVRP/status/1420129759833493507">swag</a> ! The first 20 folks who share this blog post on Twitter and tag <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/GoogleVRP">@GoogleVRP</a> will receive a gift voucher for swag in their DMs.<br> As in <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://security.googleblog.com/2020/01/vulnerability-reward-program-2019-year.html">past years</a> , we are sharing our 2021 Year in Review statistics across all of our programs. We would like to give a special thank you to all of our dedicated researchers - we look forward to more collaboration in the future!<br> Android<br> The Android VRP doubled its 2020 total payouts in 2021 with nearly $3 million dollars in rewards, and awarded the highest payout in Android VRP history: an exploit chain discovered in Android receiving a reward of $157,000!<br> Our industry leading prize of $1,500,000 for a compromise of our Titan-M Security chip used in our Pixel device remains unclaimed - for more information on this reward and Android exploit chain rewards, please visit our <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://bughunters.google.com/about/rules/6171833274204160">public rules page</a> .<br> The program also launched the Android Chipset Security Reward Program (ACSRP), a vulnerability reward program offered by Google in collaboration with manufacturers of certain popular Android chipsets. This private, invite-only program, provides reward and recognition for contributions of security researchers who invest their time and effort into helping make Android devices more secure. In 2021 the ACSRP paid out $296,000 for over 220 valid and unique security reports.<br> We would like to give a special shoutout to some of our top researchers whose continued hard work keeps Android safe and secure:<br> Aman Pandey of <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://bugsmirror.com">Bugsmirror Team</a> has skyrocketed to our top researcher last year, submitting 232 vulnerabilities in 2021! Since submitting their first report in 2019, Aman has reported over 280 valid vulnerabilities to the Android VRP and has been a crucial part of making our program so successful.<br> Yu-Cheng Lin (林禹成) ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/AndroBugs">@AndroBugs</a> ) has been another phenomenal researcher for the Android VRP, submitting a whopping 128 valid reports to the program in 2021.<br> Researcher gzobqq@gmail.com discovered a critical exploit chain in Android (CVE-2021-39698) , receiving the highest payout in Android VRP history of $157,000.<br> Chrome<br> This year the Chrome VRP also set some new records – 115 Chrome VRP researchers were rewarded for 333 unique Chrome security bug reports submitted in 2021, totaling $3.3 million in VRP rewards. The contributions not only help us to improve Chrome, but also the web at large by bolstering the security of all browsers based on Chromium.<br> Of the $3.3 million, $3.1 million was awarded for Chrome Browser security bugs and $250,500 for Chrome OS bugs, including a $45,000 top reward amount for an <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://crbug.com/1166932">individual Chrome OS security bug report</a> and $27,000 for an <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://crbug.com/1197904">individual Chrome Browser security bug report</a> .<br> Of these totals, $58,000 was awarded for security issues discovered by fuzzers contributed by VRP researchers to the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://bughunters.google.com/about/rules/5745167867576320#:~:text=%245%2C000%20%2D%20%2415%2C000-,Chrome%20Fuzzer%20Program,-The%20Chrome%20Fuzzer">Chrome Fuzzing program</a> . Each valid report from an externally provided fuzzer received a $1,000 patch bonus, with <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://crbug.com/1242257">one fuzzer report</a> receiving a $16,000 reward.<br> The Chrome VRP would not be able to smash these records over the last year without the efforts of so many exceptional VRP researchers. We’d like to highlight a few researcher achievements made in 2021:<br> Rory McNamara, a Chrome OS VRP researcher who has been participating in the Chrome VRP for five years, became the highest awarded Chrome VRP researcher of all time. This year he was rewarded for six reports achieving root privilege escalation in Chrome OS, one of which received the highest reward amount achieved for a <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://crbug.com/1166932">single Chrome bug report</a> in 2021 at $45,000.<br> Chrome Browser VRP researcher Leecraso (@leecraso) of 360 Vulnerability Research Institute was the most awarded researcher of 2021, with 18 valid bug reports; a majority of which were for memory corruption vulnerabilities affecting the browser process.<br> We love when researchers write about their findings (only after we have publicly disclosed the bug, of course)! Chrome Browser VRP researcher Brendon Tiszka wrote an excellent two-part blog series on his <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://tiszka.com/blog/CVE_2021_21225.html">discovery</a> and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://tiszka.com/blog/CVE_2021_21225_exploit.html">exploitation</a> of a V8 vulnerability, CVE-2021-21225, the analysis and reporting of which earned him a $22,000 VRP reward.<br> Huge thanks and congratulations to all Chrome VRP researchers that helped us make Chrome and Chrome OS more safe for all users in 2021!.<br> Google Play<br> Google Play paid out $550,000 in rewards to over 60 unique security researchers.<br> The Google Play Security Reward Program also <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://bughunters.google.com/learn/presentations/5783688075542528">released their Android App Hacking Workshop content</a> and published a <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://security.googleblog.com/2021/12/empowering-next-generation-of-android.html">blog</a> on their work to empower the next generation of Android Application Security Researchers.<br> kCTF VRP<br> In November we <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://security.googleblog.com/2021/11/trick-treat-paying-leets-and-sweets-for.html">expanded</a> our reward amounts for exploits against our kCTF cluster from 5,000-10,000 up to 31,337-50,337 USD. In the last 3 months we were happy to have several participants receive $175,685 USD in rewards. We also extended the timeline of the increased rewards until February 14 (from January 31) which should give everyone a couple more weeks to finalize any almost-working exploits.<br> GCP VRP Prize<br> To encourage security researchers to focus on Google Cloud Platform, we initiated the annual GCP VRP Prize in 2019. In March this year, we <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://security.googleblog.com/2021/03/announcing-winners-of-2020-gcp-vrp-prize.html">announced</a> the winners of the 2020 edition of the prize and paid out $313,337 in prizes. Ezequiel Pereira won the top prize of $133,337 for finding an <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://bughunters.google.com/report/reports/5105155099590656">RCE in Google Cloud Deployment Manager</a> . We saw some amazing research on Google Cloud Platform this year too. Stay tuned for the 2021 winners!<br> Research Grants<br> Six years ago, the Google VRP launched an experimental <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://bughunters.google.com/about/rules/5479188746993664">Vulnerability Research Grant program</a> to encourage seasoned security researchers to take a detailed and extensive look into the security of Google products and services. And reward them even if there are no vulnerabilities found. Six years later, we are happy to announce that in 2021 we awarded over $200,000 in grants to more than 120 security researchers around the world.<br> If you are a Google VRP researcher and want to be considered for a Vulnerability Research Grant make sure you opted in on your <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://bughunters.google.com/">bughunters profile</a> .<br> Looking forward<br> With the launch of the new Bug Hunters portal, we plan to continue improving our platform and listening to you - our researchers - on ways we can improve our platform and Bug Hunter University.<br> Thank you again for making Google, the Internet, and our users safe and secure!

The crackdown — the second closure of major card fraud shops by Russian authorities in as many weeks — comes closely behind <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/01/at-request-of-u-s-russia-rounds-up-14-revil-ransomware-affiliates/">Russia’s arrest of 14 alleged affiliates of the REvil ransomware gang</a> , and has many in the cybercrime underground asking who might be next.<br> Dept. K’s message for Trump’s Dumps users.<br> On Feb. 7 and 8, the domains for the carding shops <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2017/05/trumps-dumps-making-dumps-great-again/">Trump’s Dumps</a> , Ferum Shop , Sky-Fraud and UAS were seized by Department K , a division of the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Internal_Affairs_(Russia)">Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation</a> that focuses on computer crimes. The websites for the carding stores were retrofitted with a message from Dept. K asking, “Which one of you is next?”<br> According to cyber intelligence analysts at <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.flashpoint-intel.com">Flashpoint</a> , that same message was included in the website for UniCC , another major and venerated carding shop that was seized by Dept. K in January.<br> Around the same time Trump’s Dumps and the other three shops began displaying the Dept. K message, the Russian state-owned news outlet TASS <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://tass.ru/obschestvo/13637797">moved a story</a> naming six Russian men who were being charged with “the illegal circulation of means of payment.”<br> TASS reports the six detained include Denis Pachevsky , general director of Saratovfilm Film Company LLC; Alexander Kovalev , an individual entrepreneur; Artem Bystrykh , an employee of Transtekhkom LLC; Artem Zaitsev ; an employee of Get-net LLC ; and two unemployed workers, Vladislav Gilev and Yaroslav Solovyov .<br> None of the stories about the arrests tie the men to the four carding sites. But Flashpoint found that all of the domains seized by Dept. K. were registered and hosted through Zaitsev’s company — Get-net LLC.<br> “All four sites frequently advertised one another, which is generally atypical for two card marketplaces competing in the same space,” Flashpoint analysts wrote.<br> Stas Alforov is director of research for <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.geminiadvisory.io">Gemini Advisory</a> , a New York firm that monitors underground cybercrime markets. Alforov said it is most unusual for the Russians to go after carding sites that aren’t selling data stolen from Russian citizens.<br> “It’s not in their business to be taking down Russian card shops,” Alforov said. “Unless those shops were somehow selling data on Russian cardholders, which they weren’t.”<br> A carding shop that sold stolen credit cards and invoked 45’s likeness and name was among those taken down this week by Russian authorities.<br> Debuting in 2011, Ferum Shop is one of the oldest observed dark web marketplaces selling “card not present” data (customer payment records stolen from hacked online merchants), according to Gemini.<br> “Every year for the last 5 years, the marketplace has been a top 5 source of card not present records in terms of records posted for sale,” Gemini found. “In this time period, roughly 66% of Ferum Shop’s records have been from United States financial institutions. The remaining 34% have come from over 200 countries.”<br> In contrast, Trump’s Dumps focuses on selling card data stolen from hacked point-of-sale devices, and it benefited greatly from <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/01/jokers-stash-carding-market-to-call-it-quits/">the January 2021 retirement of Joker’s Stash</a> , which for years dwarfed most other carding shops by volume. Gemini found Trump’s Dumps gained roughly 40 percent market share after Joker’s closure, and that more than 87 percent of the payment card records it sells are from U.S. financial institutions.<br> “In the past 5 years, Ferum Shop and Trump’s Dumps have cumulatively added over 64 million compromised payment cards,” Alforov wrote. “Based on average demand for CP and CNP records and the median price of $10, the total revenue from these sales is estimated to be over $430 million. Due to the 20 to 30% commission that shops generally receive, the administrators of Ferum Shop and Trump’s Dumps likely generated between $86 and $129 million in profits from these card sales.” <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/02/russian-govt-continues-carding-shop-crackdown/#more-58435">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/02/russian-govt-continues-carding-shop-crackdown/">Russian Govt.

This month’s relatively light patch batch is refreshingly bereft of any zero-day threats, or even scary critical vulnerabilities. But it does fix four dozen flaws, including several that Microsoft says will likely soon be exploited by malware or malcontents.<br> While none of the patches address bugs that earned Microsoft’s most dire “critical” rating, there are multiple “remote code execution” vulnerabilities that Redmond believes are ripe for exploitation. Among those is <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2022-22005">CVE-2022-22005</a> , a weakness in Microsoft’s Sharepoint Server versions 2013-2019 that could be exploited by any authenticated user.<br> “The vulnerability does require an attacker to be authenticated in order to exploit it, which is likely why Microsoft only labeled it ‘Important,'” said Allan Liska , senior security architect at Recorded Future . “However, given the number of stolen credentials readily available on underground markets, getting authenticated could be trivial. Organizations that have public-facing SharePoint Servers should prioritize implementing this patch.”<br> Kevin Breen at Immersive Labs called attention to <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2022-21996">CVE-2022-21996</a> , an elevation of privilege vulnerability in the core Windows component “ Win32k .”<br> “In January we saw CVE-2022-21882, a vulnerability in Win32k that was being actively exploited in the wild, which prompted CISA to issue a directive to all federal agencies to mandate that patches be applied,” Breen said. “February sees more patches for the same style of vulnerability in this same component. It’s not clear from the release notes whether this is a brand new vulnerability or if it is related to the previous month’s update. Either way, we have seen attackers leverage this vulnerability so it’s safer to err on the side of caution and update this one quickly.”<br> Another elevation of privilege flaw <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2022-21989">CVE-2022-21989</a> — in the Windows Kernel — was the only vulnerability fixed this month that was publicly disclosed prior to today.<br> “Despite the lack of critical fixes, it’s worth remembering that attackers love to use elevation of privilege vulnerabilities, of which there are 18 this month,” said Greg Wiseman , product manager at Rapid7 . “Remote code execution vulnerabilities are also important to patch, even if they may not be considered ‘wormable.’ In terms of prioritization, defenders should first focus on patching server systems.”<br> February’s Patch Tuesday is once again brought to you by Print Spooler , the Windows component responsible for handling printing jobs. Four of the bugs quashed in this release relate to our friend Mr. Print Spooler. In July 2021, Microsoft issued an emergency fix for a Print Spooler flaw dubbed “ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/07/microsoft-issues-emergency-patch-for-windows-flaw/">PrintNightmare</a> ” that was actively being exploited to remotely compromise Windows PCs. Redmond has been steadily spooling out patches for this service ever since. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/02/microsoft-patch-tuesday-february-2022-edition/#more-58425">Continue reading →</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220209-080542/ Wed, 09 Feb 2022 08:05:40 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220209-080542/ <ol> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/heuristics-that-almost-always-work">Heuristics that almost always work</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=astralcodexten.substack.com">astralcodexten.substack.com</a> )<br> 744 points by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=mudro_zboris">mudro_zboris</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30264082">11 hours ago</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30264082">426 comments</a><br></li> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.spacex.com/updates/">Starlink lost 40 satellites to a geomagnetic storm</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=spacex.com">spacex.com</a> )<br> 534 points by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=ortusdux">ortusdux</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30267587">6 hours ago</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30267587">296 comments</a><br></li> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/02/08/bitfinex-hack-bitcoin-arrests/">Feds arrest couple, seize $3.6B in hacked Bitcoin funds</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=washingtonpost.com">washingtonpost.com</a> )<br> 590 points by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=mikeyouse">mikeyouse</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30260787">15 hours ago</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30260787">753 comments</a><br></li> </ol> https://www.whatsupup.com/companies/jayvee/descrier/20220209-080037/ Wed, 09 Feb 2022 08:00:37 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/companies/jayvee/descrier/20220209-080037/ An Apple Original Film<br> Last-minute gift?

The reversal comes as privacy experts and lawmakers have been pushing the IRS and other federal agencies to find less intrusive methods for validating one’s identity with the U.S. government online.<br> Late last year, the login page for the IRS was updated with text advising that by the summer of 2022, the only way for taxpayers to access their records at irs.gov will be through ID.me , an online identity verification service that collects biometric data — such as live facial scans using a mobile device or webcam.<br> The IRS first announced its partnership with ID.me in November, but the press release received virtually no attention. On Jan. 19, KrebsOnSecurity published the story <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/01/irs-will-soon-require-selfies-for-online-access/">IRS Will Soon Require Selfies for Online Access</a> , detailing a rocky experience signing up for IRS access via ID.me. That story immediately went viral, bringing this site an almost unprecedented amount of traffic. A tweet about it quickly garnered more than two million impressions.<br> It was clear most readers had no idea these new and more invasive requirements were being put in place at the IRS and other federal agencies (the Social Security Administration also is steering new signups to ID.me).<br> ID.me says it has approximately 64 million users, with 145,000 new users signing up each day. Still, the bulk of those users are people who have been forced to sign up with ID.me as a condition of receiving state or federal financial assistance, such as unemployment insurance, child tax credit payments, and pandemic assistance funds.<br> In the face of COVID, dozens of states collectively lost tens of billions of dollars at the hands of identity thieves impersonating out-of-work Americans seeking unemployment insurance. Some 30 states and 10 federal agencies now use ID.me to screen for ID thieves applying for benefits in someone else’s name.<br> But ID.me has been problematic for many legitimate applicants who saw benefits denied or delayed because they couldn’t complete ID.me’s verification process.  Critics charged the IRS’s plan would unfairly disadvantage people with disabilities or limited access to technology or Internet, and that facial recognition systems tend to be less accurate for people with darker skin.<br> Many readers were aghast that the IRS would ask people to hand over their biometric and personal data to a private company that begin in 2010 as a way to help veterans, teachers and other public servants qualify for retail discounts. These readers had reasonable questions: Who has (or will have) access to this data? Why should it be stored indefinitely (post-verification)? What happens if ID.me gets breached?<br> The Washington Post <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/02/07/irs-gsa-id-facial-recogntion/?utm_campaign=wp_the_technology_202&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_technology202">reported</a> today that in a meeting with lawmakers, IRS officials said they were considering another identity verification option that wouldn’t use facial recognition. At the same time, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) challenged the Treasury Department and IRS to reconsider the biometric requirements.<br> In a statement published today, the IRS said it was transitioning away from using a third-party service for facial recognition to help authenticate people creating new online accounts.<br> “The transition will occur over the coming weeks in order to prevent larger disruptions to taxpayers during filing season,” the IRS said. “During the transition, the IRS will quickly develop and bring online an additional authentication process that does not involve facial recognition. The IRS will also continue to work with its cross-government partners to develop authentication methods that protect taxpayer data and ensure broad access to online tools.” <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/02/irs-to-ditch-biometric-requirement-for-online-access/#more-58407">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/02/irs-to-ditch-biometric-requirement-for-online-access/">IRS To Ditch Biometric Requirement for Online Access</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/buckeroo/doubling/20220207-201726/ Mon, 07 Feb 2022 20:17:25 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/buckeroo/doubling/20220207-201726/ February 7, 2022 <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://drewdevault.com/2022/02/07/Free-software-licenses-MIT.html">Free software licenses explained: MIT</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/phonic/shopboy/20220207-201131/ Mon, 07 Feb 2022 20:11:31 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/phonic/shopboy/20220207-201131/ Verdant Rivers <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/St_Rev">@St_Rev</a><br> Now if we can just get angry trust fund Harvard graduates in Brooklyn to write ridiculous web screeds about the awful threat of angry trust fund Harvard graduates in Brooklyn <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://t.co/C53bGkLasW"><a href="https://t.co/C53bGkLasW">https://t.co/C53bGkLasW</a></a><br> wordcel is now more popular than incel. rather than contribute to incel ideology i have defeated it <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://t.co/F4MLIZxE9i"><a href="https://t.co/F4MLIZxE9i">https://t.co/F4MLIZxE9i</a></a><br> "An auto-da-fé was the ritual of public penance carried out of condemned heretics and apostates imposed by the Spanish, Portuguese, or Mexican Inquisition as punishment and enforced by civil authorities.

It made it significantly easier for ships, airplanes, cars, and hikers to figure out where they are with high degree of accuracy.<br> One of the most exciting aspects of this system are the satellites surrounding Earth. Here’s a current constellation of active satellites, you can drag the view around to see it from different angles:<br> However, the satellites are just a part of what makes GPS possible. While I’ll discuss their motion in depth, over the course of this blog post I’ll also explain how the satellites help a GPS receiver determine where it is, and I’ll dive into the clever methods the system uses to make sure the signals sent all the way from space are reliably decoded on Earth.<br> We’ll start by creating a positioning system that can tell us where we are. Our initial approach will be quite simple, but we’ll step-by-step improve upon it to build an understanding of the positioning method used by GPS.<br> Simple Positioning<br> Here’s a small chunk of a world we’ll be playing with. The little yellow figurine represents our position in that world – you can grab and move it around. You can also drag the landscape itself to change the viewing angle. The view on the right represents a map of that landscape – we’ll try to evaluate where exactly the figurine is on this map:<br> This situation may seem a bit daunting, but notice that the landscape we’re in has three little landmarks on the ground that are easy to reference on the map. Just by using these three reference points we can attempt to relate the figurine’s position in the environment to an approximate placement on the map.<br> Intuitively, if we’re standing right on top of one of the colored landmarks, then we can tell exactly where we are on the map. If we take a single step away from a landmark, then our accuracy will degrade a little, but we’re still reasonably sure of our position. However, as we keep going further away the uncertainty in our estimate increases.<br> We can draw that estimation of our position on the map using a yellow area . Its size symbolizes uncertainty – the more of a guesswork we’re doing the bigger the circle. We also know where, more or less, to place that yellow area based on our position relative to the landmarks. For instance, if we’re between the green landmark and the blue landmark then we’ll be somewhere between those two dots on the map as well:<br> The further away from a landmark we are, the larger the uncertainty, but the distance to a landmark itself also carries some information. If we attach a rope to a landmark and walk away holding the other end, it will at some point prevent us from going further. Moreover, if we keep the rope taut it will limit our motion to a circular path around that landmark :<br> Since the rope has a fixed length, every point on that circle is at the same distance to the landmark . Instead of using a rope we can attach a measuring tape to a landmark and track the measured distance as we roam around. A measured distance lets us draw an appropriately sized circle on the map, based on the map’s scale. We know that we have to be somewhere on that circle, because all the points on that circle are equally distant to the landmark :<br> If we also keep track of the distance to the second landmark we know that our position is somewhere on the intersection of those two circles because the intersections are the only places that have the expected distances to both locations:<br> With two distance measurements there are only two possible positions on the map where we could be located. Measuring distance to the third landmark narrows down that location to just a single choice:<br> Notice that this third measurement is often redundant. We usually just “know” which of the two positions on the map makes sense given our position on the ground relative to the landmarks we see. In the demonstration below we’re measuring distances to just two landmarks, unless we’re almost inline with them, it’s usually fairly clear which answer is the right one:<br> The process of calculating a location of a point using measurement of distances is called trilateration – that procedure lies at the heart of a GPS receiver. However, being tied to two or three measuring tapes is certainly not how any GPS device functions, so let’s keep on making our primitive positioning system better.<br> Time of Flight<br> The only purpose of the measuring tapes was to measure distances, but there are other ways to figure out how far away something is. For example, when we drive a car at a more or less constant speed of 60 mph we can easily calculate that after 15 minutes we’ve traveled a distance of around 15 mi . As a side note, I’m using imperial units here, but you can <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://ciechanow.ski">switch</a> to the metric system if you prefer.<br> Instead of driving from point to point we can fly a little drone around. In the simulation below you can control the progress of time with the slider. The clock marks the time between the drone starting and ending its journey with a blue arc :<br> In the bottom part of the demonstration I put a timeline that also tracks the duration of flight using a bit more compact representation – you can think of it as a clock unwrapped from an arc shape to a straight line. Notice that the length of the blue bar is directly tied to the duration of the flight, which in turn is directly tied to the traveled distance. When you <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://ciechanow.ski">change position</a> , the duration of flight needed to reach the goal changes as well.<br> The constant velocity of a drone allows us to use time as a measure of distance, because that distance s is proportional to the time of flight t with drone’s velocity v acting as a scaling factor:<br> s = v × t<br> Let’s see how we can employ two drones to replicate the measurements we did with two tapes. In the demonstration below we’re sending two drones at the same time, the slider once again controls the time :<br> As the drones arrive to their destinations we get the direct measure of distance to each landmark as shown by the length of their bars on the timeline. This allows us to draw the circles of range on the map which in turn pinpoints our position.<br> This method is less restrictive than the measuring tapes we’ve used, but having to fly drones to the landmarks to measure distances is still a bit ridiculous. However, the idea of using time of flight is very promising, we just need to come up with a faster and more convenient messenger.<br> Thankfully, we don’t have to look too far. We can use the very same substance that allows drones to fly – the air itself. Instead of rapidly moving it around to generate lift for the little machines, we’ll just make noises and let the air propagate sounds through itself.<br> Do you hear me?<br> While at close ranges the sound seems to propagate almost instantaneously, at longer distances we can certainly witness the limits of the speed of sound – you’ve probably experienced the delay between seeing a lightning bolt and hearing its thunder. There is even a convenient rule of thumb that states that the strike was another 1 mile away for every 5 seconds of delay.<br> We can use sound to measure distances with a very simple setup. We’ll put a microphone and a light bulb at each landmark – when a microphone detects a loud sound the light bulb will turn on. To measure the distance to a landmark we’ll make a noise – I’m visualizing the propagation of that noise with a dark ring . As time passes the sound wave travels further and we can mark how long it took for the lightbulb to turn on:<br> For now we can safely ignore the delay caused by the speed of light – at our limited scale it won’t affect the measurement too much. If we mount microphones and lightbulbs at the other landmarks we can get a reliable system to measure distances, which lets us draw the circles on the map and mark our location:<br> This solution actually works well, but it has a fatal flaw. As soon as someone else tries to estimate their position we may have a hard time recognizing if the flash happened because of our or someone else’s sound. Let’s see what happens when a red figurine also tries to estimate its position:<br> Notice that we have no idea if we should stop the clock on the first or the second flash of a landmark, but regardless of the approach our measurements may be completely wrong. Even when we use the robust method of intersecting three circles we very often fail to converge to a single location. The more users trying to estimate their positions the more error prone everyone’s range estimation would be, especially since they all can start making their noises at different times.<br> The problem with this approach is that we’ve created an active system in which the landmarks have to actively respond to users’ requests to provide the needed information. As the number of users increases, the complexity of the system grows significantly. Even if we came up with some clever way for the landmarks to distinguish the incoming signals and emit different responses, we’re guaranteed to find some number of users that would overwhelm the infrastructure.<br> Fortunately, we can solve this problem by flipping it on its head. Instead of the users sending audio signals to the landmarks, we’ll have the landmarks emit the sounds and have the users listen to those sounds.<br> Do I hear you?<br> Let’s rejig the landmarks to have a speaker that will emit a sound at every minute on the minute , that is when the second hand on the clock shows 0 seconds. When we hear the signal we can then check our clock to see how much time has elapsed and thus measure the distance:<br> It may seem that this solution works well, but it requires a bit more attention. Notice that we’re actually dealing with two different clocks here, one in our hand, and another one, located in the landmark itself, that drives the sound emission. Those two clocks may not be perfectly synchronized with each other.<br> In the demonstration below you can see the current time as tracked by the … https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220205-200508/ Sat, 05 Feb 2022 20:05:08 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220205-200508/ <ol> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/darkpatterns/status/1489901640777973768">Adobe tricks users into a 12 month contract</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=twitter.com/darkpatterns">twitter.com/darkpatterns</a> )<br></li> </ol> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/novice/millrace/20220205-161433/ Sat, 05 Feb 2022 16:14:32 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/novice/millrace/20220205-161433/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://mooseyanon.medium.com/github-f-ck-your-name-change-de599033bbbe?source=user_profile---------0-------------------------------">GitHub, f*ck your name change.

Spammers, phishers and other ne’er-do-wells are hoping you will, because they’ve long taken advantage of a marketing feature on the business networking site which lets them create a LinkedIn.com link that bounces your browser to other websites, such as phishing pages that mimic top online brands (but chiefly Linkedin’s parent firm Microsoft ).<br> At issue is a “redirect” feature available to businesses that chose to market through LinkedIn.com. The LinkedIn redirect links allow customers to track the performance of ad campaigns, while promoting off-site resources. These links or “ Slinks ” all have a standard format: “https://www.linkedin.com/slink?code=” followed by a short alphanumeric variable.<br> Here’s the very first Slink created: <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/slink?code=1,">http://www.linkedin.com/slink?code=1,</a> which redirects to the homepage for LinkedIn Marketing Solutions .<br> The trouble is, there’s little to stop criminals from leveraging newly registered or hacked LinkedIn business accounts to create their own ad campaigns using Slinks. Urlscan.io , a free service that provides detailed reports on any scanned URLs, also offers a historical look at suspicious links submitted by other users. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://urlscan.io/search/#task.domain%3Alinkedin.com%20AND%20task.url%3Aslink%20AND%20NOT%20page.domain%3Alinkedin.com">This search via Urlscan</a> reveals dozens of recent phishing attacks that have leveraged the Slinks feature.<br> Here’s <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://urlscan.io/result/74a84028-d554-43c1-a9ea-1618586c64f2/">one example from Jan. 31</a> that uses Linkedin.com links to redirect anyone who clicks to a site that spoofs Adobe , and then prompts users to log in to their Microsoft email account to view a shared document.<br> A recent phishing site that abused LinkedIn’s marketing redirect.

We are back with a new release of the Scala compiler and some exciting news about improvements in forward compatibility.<br> Improvements in Scala 3.1.1<br> Scala 3.1.1 is a patch release focused on bug fixes. Although there are no new additions to the language, you can still spot some noticeable improvements:<br> You can use<br> using<br> clauses to introduce subtyping relations between types in the function body.<br> Now, code like the following should compile. Any value of type<br> can be used where a value of type<br> B<br> is expected as long as a given instance of<br> A <:< B<br> is in scope:<br> def example [ A , B ]( a : A )( using A <:< B ) = val b : B = a ???<br> To learn more see <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/lampepfl/dotty/pull/13662">PR #13662</a> and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/lampepfl/dotty/issues/12955">related issue</a> .<br> Mirrors can be correctly summoned for hierarchical sum types compiled by Scala 3.0.x. It is now safe to derive a type class for a type dependency that was compiled with a pre-3.1.0 compiler. ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/lampepfl/dotty/pull/14100">PR #14100</a> ).<br> Dual Scala 2/3 macros can be now declared in non-experimental scopes ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/lampepfl/dotty/pull/13795">PR #13795</a> ).<br> Scaladoc documentation has an improved UI.<br> For a comprehensive list of fixes, take a look at <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/lampepfl/dotty/releases/tag/3.1.1">the full changelog on GitHub</a> .<br> 3.1.2-RC1 and forward compatibility improvements<br> Alongside 3.1.1 we have released the first RC version of the next patch release of the compiler. 3.1.2-RC1 contains further fixes, but most importantly it is our first step in improving forward compatibility in Scala.<br> Scala 3 has excellent backward compatibility guarantees between the minor versions. Right now, that means that code compiled with Scala 3.1 can depend on libraries published with 3.0 without any problems. The opposite, hovewer, is not true. Code compiled with 3.0 is not able to read dependencies compiled with 3.1. After the recent release of Scala 3.1.0, we can see that libraries should be really cautious with updating the compiler version, as it forces a bump on every user of that library. We do not want library authors to be stuck on old versions of the compiler as that would mean that they are locked out of many bugfixes, or we would need to spend enormous effort on backporting every bugfix to all past versioning lines.<br> Our current plan to mitigate those difficulties is described in <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://contributors.scala-lang.org/t/improving-scala-3-forward-compatibility/5298">the contributors discussion</a> , where you are free to leave your feedback. We already have implemented the first and most important part of the solution and have it ready for public testing. Beginning with Scala 3.1.2-RC1 the compiler is able to generate outputs that can be consumed by its older versions. To enable that, you need to specify the minimal targeted minor language version by using the experimental<br> -Yscala-release<br> We expect that in the future authors will use the newest available version of the compiler with<br> set to the lowest language version that support all features they need. This way they will be able to benefit from all the bugfixes without restricting their potential audience.<br> So, for example, compiling your library using Scala 3.1.2-RC2 with<br> -Yscala-release:3.0<br> flag, you make it possible for people still using Scala 3.0 to depend on your library. This has some limitations, especially your library cannot have any dependencies compiled with<br> version higher than 3.0. You also won’t be able to use any symbol added to the standard library after 3.0. They are marked in the code and in the documentation by the<br> @since<br> annotation that was also added in this version.<br> One important note is that the<br> flag is experimental and not yet available in any stable release of the compiler. It means the build tools, such as SBT or Mill, are not yet aware of its existence. Of course, you can declare usage of the flag in your build file, and the compiler will respect it. However, there may still be some hiccups, like generated artifacts depending on the incorrect version of the stdlib. We will do our best to help fix those minor issues before the stable release of 3.1.2.<br> Detailed description of the new flag can be found in <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://docs.scala-lang.org/scala3/reference/language-versions/binary-compatibility.html">the reference page for the binary comaptibility</a> .<br> If you are interested in other changes brought by 3.1.2-RC1, there is, as always, <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/lampepfl/dotty/releases/tag/3.1.2-RC1">a changelog on GitHub</a> .<br> Thank you to all the contributors who made this release possible.<br> 50 Fengyun Liu 43 Martin Odersky 26 Olivier Blanvillain 24 Kacper Korban 21 Filip Zybała 18 Dale Wijnand 18 Nicolas Stucki 17 Phil 13 Andrzej Ratajczak 10 Guillaume Martres 10 noti0na1 8 Paweł Marks 7 Jamie Thompson 5 soronpo 5 Tom Grigg 3 Yichen Xu 3 Dmitrii Naumenko 3 ghostbuster91 3 Julien Richard-Foy 2 Stéphane Micheloud 2 bjornregnell 2 Vadim Chelyshov 1 ysthakur 1 Daniel Esik 1 EnzeXing 1 Jasper Moeys 1 Katja Goltsova 1 Matthieu Bovel 1 Ondrej Lhotak 1 Oron Port 1 Rikito Taniguchi 1 Seth Tisue 1 Som Snytt 1 Sébastien Doeraene 1 Tomasz Godzik 1 oronpo<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.scala-lang.org/blog/2022/01/19/learn-scala-with-online-courses.html">Learn Scala with Online Courses Wednesday, January 19, 2022 • Julien Richard-Foy, Vincent Derouand, and Valérie Pedroni (Scala Center) BLOG Happy new year to everyone!

The initiative will take years (check the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="http://demoscene-the-art-of-coding.net/news/">NEWS</a> section for on RECENT UPDATES), and hence everything on this website is to be understood as a work in progress. Like everything in the demoscene, it is a non-commercial and voluntary project, pushed forward as work and time permits.<br> In April 2020, Art of Coding achieved a breakthrough in Finland, which recognized the Demoscene as part of the Finnish UNESCO intangible cultural heritage. Shortly after this, Germany’s nomination confirmed this major milestone, and thus Art of Coding became a serious international campaign. As of January 2022, Germany and Poland recognized the demoscene as national cultural heritage, and applications in Switzerland, France, Denmark, the Netherlands, and more countries are in preparation. But even things are looking great, it is an open process for the upcoming years.<br> If you are an (ex-)demoscener or from other interested parties open to help in any way, please get in touch personally, as our next steps after the achievements in Finland, Germany and Poland are to continue gathering a strong international group of people interested in pushing forward the initiative and in bringing up further applications in other countries. As this is not about us (and the longer it takes time, the less it should be), this is about the demoscene – and in a broader sense – the status of digital culture in general.<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/rubicundity/envenomation/20220130-120742/ Sun, 30 Jan 2022 12:07:42 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/rubicundity/envenomation/20220130-120742/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.deprocrastination.co/blog/how-to-protect-your-intentions-from-getting-hijacked">How to protect your intentions from getting hijacked</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.deprocrastination.co/blog/let-your-discontent-crystallize">Let your discontent crystallize</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.deprocrastination.co/blog/stop-postponing-things-by-embracing-the-mess">Stop postponing things by embracing the mess</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.deprocrastination.co/blog/critical-effort-why-we-reach-a-goal-or-not">Critical effort: why we reach a goal (or not)</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.deprocrastination.co/blog/zone-of-action-do-the-possible-to-do-the-impossible">Zone of Action: Do the possible to do the impossible</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.deprocrastination.co/blog/1-simple-technique-to-train-your-focus">1 simple technique to train your focus</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.deprocrastination.co/blog/how-to-make-quitting-your-addiction-easier">How to make quitting your addiction easier</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.deprocrastination.co/blog/pursue-high-quality-leisure">Pursue High-quality Leisure</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.deprocrastination.co/blog/what-is-addiction">What is addiction (series)</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.deprocrastination.co/blog/why-you-should-practice-voluntary-discomfort-to-become-happier">Why you should practice voluntary discomfort to become happier</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.deprocrastination.co/blog/put-yourself-on-the-productive-path">Put yourself on the Productive Path</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.deprocrastination.co/blog/one-thing-you-should-learn-from-david-goggins">One thing you should learn from David Goggins</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.deprocrastination.co/blog/how-to-be-productive-without-forcing-yourself">How to be more productive without forcing yourself</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.deprocrastination.co/blog/block-out-input-free-time">Block out input-free time</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/fisher/trilobate/20220130-120658/ Sun, 30 Jan 2022 12:06:56 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/fisher/trilobate/20220130-120658/ <p><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/adrianhajdin/project_web3.0">adrianhajdin / project_web3.0</a><br></p> <hr> This is a code repository for the corresponding video tutorial.

Bernard’s latest victim — a Norwegian company hoping to build a fleet of environmentally friendly shipping vessels — is now embroiled in a lawsuit over a deal gone bad, in which Bernard falsely claimed to have secured $100 million from six other wealthy investors, including the founder of Uber and the artist Abel Makkonen Tesfaye , better known as The Weeknd .<br> John Bernard is a pseudonym used by John Clifton Davies , a convicted fraudster from the United Kingdom who is currently a fugitive from justice and residing in Ukraine. Davies’ Bernard persona has fleeced dozens of technology companies out of an estimated $30 million with the promise of lucrative investments.<br> For several years until reinventing himself again quite recently, Bernard <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2020/09/due-diligence-that-money-cant-buy/">pretended to be a billionaire Swiss investor</a> who made his fortunes in the dot-com boom 20 years ago and who was seeking investment opportunities. Bernard generated a stream of victims by offering extraordinarily generous finder’s fees for investment brokers who helped him secure new clients. But those brokers would eventually get stiffed as well because Bernard’s company would never consummate a deal.<br> In case after case, Bernard would promise to invest millions in tech startups, and then insist that companies pay tens of thousands of dollars worth of due diligence fees up front. However, the due diligence company he insisted on using — another Swiss firm called Inside Knowledge — also was secretly owned by Bernard, who would invariably pull out of the deal after receiving the due diligence money.<br> The scam artist John Bernard (left) in a recent Zoom call, and a photo of John Clifton Davies from 2015.<br> But Bernard would adopt a slightly different approach to stealing from Freidig Shipping Ltd. , a Norwegian company formed in 2017 that was seeking the equivalent of USD $100 million investment to bring its green fleet of 30 new offshore service vessels to fruition.<br> Journalists Harald Vanvik and Harald Berglihn from the Norwegian Business Daily write that through investment advisors in London, Bernard was introduced to Nils-Odd Tønnevold , co-founder of Freidig Shipping and an investment advisor with 20 years of experience.<br> “Both Bernard and Inside Knowledge appeared to be professionals,” the reporters wrote in a story that’s behind a paywall. “Bernard appeared to be experienced. He knew a lot about start-ups and got into things quickly. Credible and reliable was the impression of him, said Tønnevold.”<br> “Bernard eventually took on the role of principal investor, claiming he had six other wealthy investors on the team, including artist Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, known as The Weeknd, Uber founder Garrett Camp and Norilsk Nickel owner Russian Vladimir Potanin ,” the Norwegian journalists wrote. “These committed to contribute $99.25 million to Freidig.”<br> So in this case Bernard conveniently claimed he’d come up with almost all of the investment, which came $750,000 short of the goal. Another investor, a Belgian named Guy Devos , contributed the remaining $750,000.<br> But by the spring of 2020, it was clear that Devos and others involved in the shipping project had been tricked, and that all the money which had been paid to Bernard — an estimated NOK 15 million (~USD $1.67 million) — had been lost. By that time the two co-founders and their families had borrowed USD $1.5 million, and had transferred the funds to Inside Knowledge. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank"

In this post, we’ll explore some of the clues left behind by a developer who was reputedly hired to code the ransomware variant.<br> Image: Varonis.<br> According to an analysis <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.varonis.com/blog/alphv-blackcat-ransomware">released this week by Varonis</a> , ALPHV is actively recruiting operators from several ransomware organizations — including <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/?s=REvil">REvil</a> , <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/?s=blackmatter">BlackMatter</a> and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/?s=darkside">DarkSide</a> — and is offering affiliates up to 90 percent of any ransom paid by a victim organization.<br> “The group’s leak site, active since early December 2021, has named over twenty victim organizations as of late January 2022, though the total number of victims, including those that have paid a ransom to avoid exposure, is likely greater,” Varonis’s Jason Hill wrote.<br> One concern about more malware shifting to <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_(programming_language)">Rust</a> is that it is considered a much more secure programming language compared to C and C++, writes Catalin Cimpanu for <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://therecord.media/alphv-blackcat-is-the-first-professional-ransomware-gang-to-use-rust/">The Record</a> . The upshot? Security defenders are constantly looking for coding weaknesses in many ransomware strains, and if more start moving to Rust it could become more difficult to find those soft spots.<br> Researchers at Recorded Future say they believe the ALPHV/BlackCat author was previously involved with the infamous REvil ransomware cartel in some capacity. Earlier this month the Russian government announced that at the United States’ request it <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/01/at-request-of-u-s-russia-rounds-up-14-revil-ransomware-affiliates/">arrested 14 individuals in Russia thought to be REvil operators</a> .<br> Still, REvil rolls on despite these actions, according to Paul Roberts at <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com">ReversingLabs</a> . “The recent arrests have NOT led to a noticeable change in detections of REvil malicious files,” Roberts wrote. “In fact, detections of files and other software modules associated with the REvil ransomware increased modestly in the week following the arrests by Russia’s FSB intelligence service.”<br> Meanwhile, the U.S. State Department has <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.state.gov/reward-offers-for-information-to-bring-sodinokibi-revil-ransomware-variant-co-conspirators-to-justice/">a standing $10 million reward</a> for information leading to the identification or location of any individuals holding key leadership positions in REvil.<br> WHO IS BINRS?<br> A confidential source recently had a private conversation with a support representative who fields questions and inquiries on several cybercrime forums on behalf of a large and popular ransomware affiliate program. The affiliate rep confirmed that a coder for ALPHV was known by the handle “ Binrs ” on multiple Russian-language forums.<br> On the cybercrime forum RAMP , the user Binrs says they are a Rust developer who’s been coding for 6 years. “My stack is Rust, nodejs, php, golang,” Binrs said in an introductory post, in which they claim to be fluent in English. Binrs then signs the post with their identification number for <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tox_(protocol)">ToX</a> , a peer-to-peer instant messaging service.<br> That same ToX ID was claimed by a user called “ smiseo ” on the Russian forum BHF, in which smiseo advertises “clipper” malware written in Rust that <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/08/man-robbed-of-16-bitcoin-sues-young-thieves-parents/">swaps in the attacker’s bitcoin address</a> when the victim copies a cryptocurrency address to their computer’s temporary clipboard.<br> The nickname “ YBCat ” advertised that same ToX ID on Carder[.]uk, where this user claimed ownership over the Telegram account @CookieDays , and said they could be hired to do software and bot development “of any level of complexity.” YBCat mostly sold “installs,” offering paying customers to ability to load malware of their choice on thousands of hacked computers simultaneously.<br> There is also an active user named Binrs on the Russian crime forum wwh-club[.]co who says they’re a Rust coder who can be reached at the @CookieDays Telegram account.<br> On the Russian forum Lolzteam, a member with the username “ DuckerMan ” uses the @CookieDays Telegram account in his signature. In one thread, DuckerMan promotes an affiliate program called CookieDays that lets people make money by getting others to install cryptomining programs that are infected with malware. In another thread, DuckerMan is selling a different clipboard hijacking program called Chloe Clipper.<br> The CookieDays moneymaking program.<br> According to threat intelligence firm <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.flashpoint-intel.com">Flashpoint</a> , the Telegram user DuckerMan employed another alias — Sergey Duck . These accounts were most active in the Telegram channels “Bank Accounts Selling,” “Malware developers community,” and “Raidforums,” a popular English-language cybercrime forum. <a rel="noreferrer"

20:07:26 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/ideo/fleury/20220125-200727/ What’s worse than finding out that identity thieves took out a 546 percent interest payday loan in your name? How about a 900 percent interest loan? Or how about not learning of the fraudulent loan until it gets handed off to collection agents? One reader’s nightmare experience spotlights what can happen when ID thieves and hackers start targeting online payday lenders.<br> The reader who shared this story (and copious documentation to go with it) asked to have his real name omitted to avoid encouraging further attacks against his identity. So we’ll just call him “Jim.” Last May, someone applied for some type of loan in Jim’s name. The request was likely sent to an online portal that takes the borrower’s loan application details and shares them with multiple prospective lenders, because Jim said over the next few days he received dozens of emails and calls from lenders wanting to approve him for a loan.<br> Many of these lenders were eager to give Jim money because they were charging exorbitant 500-900 percent interest rates for their loans. But Jim has long had <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2018/09/credit-freezes-are-free-let-the-ice-age-begin/">a security freeze on his credit file with the three major consumer credit reporting bureaus</a> , and none of the lenders seemed willing to proceed without at least a peek at his credit history.<br> Among the companies that checked to see if Jim still wanted that loan he never applied for last May was <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.mountainsummitfinancial.com">Mountain Summit Financial</a> (MSF), a lending institution owned by a Native American tribe in California called the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.hpultribe-nsn.gov/">Habematelol Pomo of Upper Lake</a> .<br> Jim told MSF and others who called or emailed that identity thieves had applied for the funds using his name and information; that he would never take out a payday loan; and would they please remove his information from their database? Jim says MSF assured him it would, and the loan was never issued.<br> Jim spent months sorting out that mess with MSF and other potential lenders, but after a while the inquiries died down. Then on Nov. 27 — Thanksgiving Day weekend — Jim got a series of rapid-fire emails from MSF saying they’ve received his loan application, that they’d approved it, and that the funds requested were now available at the bank account specified in his MSF profile.<br> Curiously, the fraudsters had taken out a loan in Jim’s name with MSF using his real email address — the same email address the fraudsters had used to impersonate him to MSF back in May 2021. Although he didn’t technically have an account with MSF, their authentication system is based on email addresses, so Jim requested that a password reset link be sent to his email address. That worked, and once inside the account Jim could see more about the loan details:<br> The terms of the unauthorized loan in Jim’s name from MSF.<br> Take a look at that 546.56 percent interest rate and finance charges listed in this $1,000 loan. If you pay this loan off in a year at the suggested bi-weekly payment amounts, you will have paid $3,903.57 for that $1,000.<br> Jim contacted MSF as soon as they opened the following week and found out the money had already been dispersed to a Bank of America account Jim didn’t recognize. MSF had Jim fill out an affidavit claiming the loan was the result of identity theft, which necessitated filing a report with the local police and a number of other steps. Jim said numerous calls to Bank of America’s fraud team went nowhere because they refused to discuss an account that was not in his name.<br> Jim said MSF ultimately agreed that the loan wasn’t legitimate, but they couldn’t or wouldn’t tell him how his information got pushed through to a loan — even though MSF was never able to pull his credit file.<br> Then in mid-January, Jim heard from MSF via snail mail that they’d discovered a data breach.<br> “We believe the outsider may have had an opportunity to access the accounts of certain customers, including your account, at which point they would be able to view personal information pertaining to that customer and potentially obtain an unauthorized loan using the customer’s credentials,” MSF said.<br> MSF said the personal information involved in this incident may have included name, date of birth, government-issued identification numbers (e.g., SSN or DLN), bank account number and routing number, home address, email address, phone number and other general loan information.<br> A portion of the Jan. 14, 2022 breach notification letter from tribal lender Mountain Summit Financial.<br> Nevermind that his information was only in MSF’s system because of an earlier attempt by ID thieves: The intruders were able to update his existing (never-deleted) record with new banking information and then push the application through MSF’s systems.<br> “MSF was the target of a suspected third-party attack,” the company said, noting that it was working with the FBI, the California Sheriff’s Office, and the Tribal Commission for Lake County, Calif.  “Ultimately, MSF confirmed that these trends were part of an attack that originated outside of the company.”<br> MSF has not responded to questions about the aforementioned third party or parties that may be involved. But it is possible that other tribal lenders could have been affected: Jim said that not long after the phony MSF payday loan was pushed through, he received at least three inquiries in rapid succession from other lenders who were all of a sudden interested in offering him a loan.<br> In a statement sent to KrebsOnSecurity, MSF said it was “the victim of a malicious attack that originated outside of the company, by unknown perpetrators.”<br> “As soon as the issue was uncovered, the company initiated cybersecurity incident response measures to protect and secure its information; and notified law enforcement and regulators,” MSF wrote. “Additionally, the company has notified individuals whose personal identifiable information may have been impacted by this crime and is actively working with law enforcement in its investigation. As this is an ongoing criminal investigation, we can make no additional comment at this time.”<br> According to the Native American Financial Services Association (NAFSA), a trade group in Washington, D.C. representing tribal lenders, the short-term installment loan products offered by NAFSA members are not payday loans but rather “ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://nativefinance.org/truth-tribal-lending/">installment loans</a> ” — which are amortized, have a definite loan term, and require payments that go toward not just interest, but that also pay down the loan principal.<br> NAFSA did not respond to multiple requests for comment.<br> Nearly all U.S. states have usury laws that limit the amount of interest a company can charge on a loan, but those limits traditionally haven’t applied to tribal lenders. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/01/scary-fraud-ensues-when-id-theft-usury-collide/#more-58202">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/01/scary-fraud-ensues-when-id-theft-usury-collide/">Scary Fraud Ensues When ID Theft & Usury Collide</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220125-200648/ Tue, 25 Jan 2022 20:06:47 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220125-200648/ <ol> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-01-25/nvidia-is-said-to-quietly-prepare-to-abandon-takeover-of-arm">Nvidia prepares to abandon $40B Arm bid</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=bloomberg.com">bloomberg.com</a> )<br></li> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.npr.org/2022/01/24/1075437484/james-webb-telescope-final-destination">James Webb telescope reaches its final destination in space, million miles away</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=npr.org">npr.org</a> )<br></li> </ol> https://www.whatsupup.com/con/circumflex/hotfooting/20220125-200517/ Tue, 25 Jan 2022 20:05:17 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/con/circumflex/hotfooting/20220125-200517/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="mailto:sp22-workshopchair@ieee-security.org">Workshops Chair</a> Charles Wright FUTO<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/hardened/twinkled/20220125-162035/ Tue, 25 Jan 2022 16:20:35 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/hardened/twinkled/20220125-162035/ Good news: we removed all cookie banners from GitHub!

I’m a fan of const-correctness for function and member declarations, parameters, and the like. Where, I believe, it actually matters.<br> Now we have a team member who has jumped on the “everything is const” bandwagon. Every code review includes dozens of lines of local function variables now declared<br> that litter the review.<br> Intellectually, I understand the (what I consider mostly insignificant) arguments in favor of this practice, but in nearly 30 years I have never had a bug introduced into my code because a local function variable was mutable when I didn’t expect it. It does nothing for me to aid in code analysis or tracking. It has at most a tiny impact on performance.<br> Maybe I’m just an old dog finally unable to learn a new trick.

All of the credentials being sold by Accountz provide access to services that in turn sell access to stolen information or hijacked property, as in the case of “bot shops” that resell access to infected computers.<br> One example is <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="http://digitalshadows.com/blog-and-research/the-technology-adoption-lifecycle-of-genesis-market/">Genesis Market</a> , where customers can search for stolen credentials and authentication cookies from a broad range of popular online destinations. Genesis even offers a custom-made web browser where you can load authentication cookies from botted PCs and waltz right into the account without having to enter a username or password or mess with multi-factor authentication.<br> Accountz is currently selling four different Genesis logins for about 40-50 percent of their unspent balances. Genesis mostly gets its inventory of botted computers and stolen logins from resellers who specialize in deploying infostealer malware via email and booby-trapped websites. Likewise, it appears Accountz also derives much of its stock from a handful of resellers, who presumably are the same ones doing the cybercrime service account cracking.<br> The Genesis bot shop.<br> In essence, Accountz customers are paying for illicit access to cybercrime services that sell access to compromised resources that can be abused for cybercrime.

The agency says that by the summer of 2022, the only way to log in to irs.gov will be through ID.me , an online identity verification service that requires applicants to submit copies of bills and identity documents, as well as a live video feed of their faces via a mobile device.<br> The IRS says it will require ID.me for all logins later this summer.<br> McLean, Va.-based ID.me was originally launched in 2010 with the goal of helping e-commerce sites validate the identities of customers who might be <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://shop.id.me/">eligible for discounts</a> at various retail establishments, such as veterans, teachers, students, nurses and first responders.<br> These days, ID.me is perhaps better known as the online identity verification service that many states now use to help staunch the loss of billions of dollars in unemployment insurance and pandemic assistance stolen each year by identity thieves. The privately-held company says it has approximately 64 million users, and gains roughly 145,000 new users each day.<br> Some 27 states already use ID.me to screen for identity thieves applying for benefits in someone else’s name, and now the IRS is joining them. The service requires applicants to supply a great deal more information than typically requested for online verification schemes, such as scans of their driver’s license or other government-issued ID, copies of utility or insurance bills, and details about their mobile phone service.<br> When an applicant doesn’t have one or more of the above — or if something about their application triggers potential fraud flags — ID.me may require a recorded, live video chat with the person applying for benefits.<br> Since my credentials at the IRS will soon no longer work, I opted to create an ID.me account and share the experience here. An important preface to this walk-through is that verifying one’s self with Id.me requires one to be able to take a live, video selfie — either with the camera on a mobile device or a webcam attached to a computer (your webcam must be able to open on the device you’re using to apply for the ID.me account). <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/01/irs-will-soon-require-selfies-for-online-access/#more-58154">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/01/irs-will-soon-require-selfies-for-online-access/">IRS Will Soon Require Selfies for Online Access</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220119-200614/ Wed, 19 Jan 2022 20:06:13 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220119-200614/ <ol> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.1password.com/future-of-1password/">1Password Has Raised $620M</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=1password.com">1password.com</a> )<br> 516 points by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=andrewdutton">andrewdutton</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29993961">5 hours ago</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29993961">520 comments</a><br></li> </ol> https://www.whatsupup.com/con/blistery/sanest/20220119-200424/ Wed, 19 Jan 2022 20:04:24 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/con/blistery/sanest/20220119-200424/ Enigma 2022 will be held February 1–3, 2022 in Santa Clara, CA, USA.

Today we are proud to announce the V4 release of Scorecards, with larger scaling, a new security check, and a new Scorecards GitHub Action for easier security automation. The Scorecards Action is released in partnership with GitHub and is available from <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/marketplace/actions/ossf-scorecard-action">GitHub's Marketplace</a> . The Action makes using Scorecards easier than ever: it runs automatically on repository changes to alert developers about risky supply-chain practices. Maintainers can view the alerts on GitHub's <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/code-scanning/automatically-scanning-your-code-for-vulnerabilities-and-errors/managing-code-scanning-alerts-for-your-repository">code scanning dashboard</a> , which is available for free to public repositories on GitHub.com and via GitHub Advanced Security for private repositories. Additionally, we have scaled our weekly Scorecards scans to over one million GitHub repositories, and have partnered with the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="http://deps.dev/">Open Source Insights</a> website for easy user access to the data.

So far, all our courses are self-paced and the assignments grading is fully automated. This model is perfect for autonomous learners, but we believe there is also a need for a complementary model, where learners would get code reviews from experts, and one-to-one sessions with instructors. This year, we plan to publish some of our courses under such a complementary model.<br> Acknowledgements<br> The Scala Center is committed to providing high-quality, free, Scala educational material.

Unlike other video conferencing systems that I have investigated, where one user initiates a call that other users must immediately accept or reject, Zoom calls are typically scheduled in advance and joined via an email invitation. In the past, I hadn’t prioritized reviewing Zoom because I believed that any attack against a Zoom client would require multiple clicks from a user. However, a zero-click attack against the Windows Zoom client was recently <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.zoom.us/zoom-sponsors-pwn2own-security-competition/">revealed</a> at Pwn2Own, showing that it does indeed have a fully remote attack surface. The following post details my investigation into Zoom.<br> This analysis resulted in two vulnerabilities being reported to Zoom. One was a buffer overflow that affected both Zoom clients and MMR servers, and one was an info leak that is only useful to attackers on MMR servers. Both of these vulnerabilities were fixed on November 24, 2021.<br> Zoom Attack Surface Overview<br> Zoom’s main feature is multi-user conference calls called meetings that support a variety of features including audio, video, screen sharing and in-call text messages. There are several ways that users can join Zoom meetings. To start, Zoom provides full-featured installable clients for many platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iPhone. Users can also join Zoom meetings using a browser link, but they are able to use fewer features of Zoom. Finally, users can join a meeting by dialing phone numbers provided in the invitation on a touch-tone phone, but this only allows access to the audio stream of a meeting. This research focused on the Zoom client software, as the other methods of joining calls use existing device features.<br> Zoom clients support several communication features other than meetings that are available to a user’s Zoom Contacts. A Zoom Contact is a user that another user has added as a contact using the Zoom user interface. Both users must consent before they become Zoom Contacts. Afterwards, the users can send text messages to one another outside of meetings and start channels for persistent group conversations. Also, if either user hosts a meeting, they can invite the other user in a manner that is similar to a phone call: the other user is immediately notified and they can join the meeting with a single click. These features represent the zero-click attack surface of Zoom. Note that this attack surface is only available to attackers that have convinced their target to accept them as a contact. Likewise, meetings are part of the one-click attack surface only for Zoom Contacts, as other users need to click several times to enter a meeting.<br> That said, it’s likely not that difficult for a dedicated attacker to convince a target to join a Zoom call even if it takes multiple clicks, and the way some organizations use Zoom presents interesting attack scenarios. For example, many groups host public Zoom meetings, and Zoom supports a paid Webinar feature where large groups of unknown attendees can join a one-way video conference. It could be possible for an attacker to join a public meeting and target other attendees. Zoom also relies on a server to transmit audio and video streams, and end-to-end encryption is off by default. It could be possible for an attacker to compromise Zoom’s servers and gain access to meeting data.<br> Zoom Messages<br> I started out by looking at the zero-click attack surface of Zoom. Loading the Linux client into IDA, it appeared that a great deal of its server communication occurred over XMPP. Based on strings in the binary, it was clear that XMPP parsing was performed using a library called <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://camaya.net/gloox/">gloox</a> . I fuzzed this library using AFL and other coverage-guided fuzzers, but did not find any vulnerabilities. I then looked at how Zoom uses the data provided over XMPP.<br> XMPP traffic seemed to be sent over SSL, so I located the SSL_write function in the binary based on log strings, and hooked it using <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://frida.re/">Frida</a> . The output contained many XMPP stanzas (messages) as well as other network traffic, which I analyzed to determine how XMPP is used by Zoom. XMPP is used for most communication between Zoom clients outside of meetings, such as messages and channels, and is also used for signaling (call set-up) when a Zoom Contact invites another Zoom Contact to a meeting.<br> I spent some time going through the client binary trying to determine how the client processes XMPP, for example, if a stanza contains a text message, how is that message extracted and displayed in the client. Even though the Zoom client contains many log strings, this was challenging, and I eventually asked my teammate Ned Williamson for help locating symbols for the client. He discovered that several old versions of the Android Zoom SDK contained symbols. While these versions are roughly five years old, and do not present a complete view of the client as they only include some libraries that it uses, they were immensely helpful in understanding how Zoom uses XMPP.<br> Application-defined tags can be added to gloox’s XMPP parser by extending the class StanzaExtension and implementing the method newInstance to define how the tag is converted into a C++ object. Parsed XMPP stanzas are then processed using the MessageHandler class. Application developers extend this class, implementing the method handleMessage with code that performs application functionality based on the contents of the stanza received. Zoom implements its XMPP handling in CXmppIMSession::handleMessage , which is a large function that is an entrypoint to most messaging and calling features. The final processing stage of many XMPP tags is in the class ns_zoom_messager::CZoomMMXmppWrapper , which contains many methods starting with ‘On’ that handle specific events. I spent a fair amount of time analyzing these code paths, but didn’t find any bugs. Interestingly, Thijs Alkemade and Daan Keuper released a <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://sector7.computest.nl/post/2021-08-zoom/">write-up</a> of their Pwn2Own bug after I completed this research, and it involved a vulnerability in this area.<br> RTP Processing<br> Afterwards, I investigated how Zoom clients process audio and video content. Like all other video conferencing systems that I have analyzed, it uses Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) to transport this data. Based on log strings included in the Linux client binary, Zoom appears to use a branch of WebRTC for audio. Since I have looked at this library a great deal in <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2018/12/adventures-in-video-conferencing-part-1.html">previous</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2020/08/exploiting-android-messengers-part-1.html">posts</a> , I did not investigate it further. For video, Zoom implements its own RTP processing and uses a custom underlying codec named Zealot (libzlt).<br> Analyzing the Linux client in IDA, I found what I believed to be the video RTP entrypoint, and fuzzed it using afl-qemu. This resulted in several crashes, mostly in RTP extension processing. I tried modifying the RTP sent by a client to reproduce these bugs, but it was not received by the device on the other side and I suspected the server was filtering it. I tried to get around this by enabling end-to-end encryption, but Zoom does not encrypt RTP headers, only the contents of RTP packets (as is typical of most RTP implementations).<br> Curious about how Zoom server filtering works, I decided to set up <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360034064852-Zoom-On-Premise-Deployment">Zoom On-Premises Deployment</a> . This is a Zoom product that allows customers to set up on-site servers to process their organization’s Zoom calls. This required a fair amount of configuration, and I ended up reaching out to the Zoom Security Team for assistance. They helped me get it working, and I greatly appreciate their contribution to this research.<br> Zoom On-Premises Deployments consist of two hosts: the controller and the Multimedia Router (MMR) . Analyzing the traffic to each server, it became clear that the MMR is the host that transmits audio and video content between Zoom clients. Loading the code for the MMR process into IDA, I located where RTP is processed, and it indeed parses the extensions as a part of its forwarding logic and verifies them correctly, dropping any RTP packets that are malformed.<br> The code that processes RTP on the MMR appeared different than the code that I fuzzed on the device, so I set up fuzzing on the server code as well. This was challenging, as the code was in the MMR binary, which was not compiled as a relocatable binary (more on this later). This meant that I couldn’t load it as a library and call into specific offsets in the binary as I usually do to fuzz binaries that don’t have source code available. Instead, I compiled my own fuzzing stub that called the function I wanted to fuzz as a relocatable that defined fopen , and loaded it using LD_PRELOAD when executing the MMR binary. Then my code would take control of execution the first time that the MMR binary called fopen , and was able to call the function being fuzzed.<br> This approach has a lot of downsides, the biggest being that the fuzzing stub can’t accept command line parameters, execution is fairly slow and a lot of fuzzing tools don’t honor LD_PRELOAD on the target. That said, I was able to fuzz with code coverage using Mateusz Jurczyk’s excellent <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/googleprojectzero/DrSancov">DrSanCov</a> , with no results.<br> Packet Processing<br> When analyzing RTP traffic, I noticed that both Zoom clients and the MMR server process a great deal of packets that didn’t appear to be RTP or XMPP. Looking at the SDK with symbols, one library appeared to do a lot of serialization: libssb_sdk.so. This library contains a great deal of classes with the methods load_from and save_to defined with identical declarations, so it is likely that they all implement the same virtual class.<br> One parameter to the load_from methods is an object of class msg_db_t ,  which implements a buffer that supports reading different data types. Deserialization is performed by load_from methods by reading needed data from the msg_db_t object, and serialization is performed by save_to methods by writing to it.<br> After hooking a few save_to methods with Frida and comparing … https://www.whatsupup.com/software/checkpoint/brick/20220118-201318/ Tue, 18 Jan 2022 20:13:17 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/software/checkpoint/brick/20220118-201318/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://brave.com/state-of-the-bat-2022/">STATE OF THE BAT: 2021 Recap and 2022 Outlook</a><br></p> <hr> 2021 was a significant year for the growth and development of Brave and BAT.

The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) said the actions were taken in response to a request from U.S. officials, but many experts believe the crackdown is part of an effort to reduce tensions over Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to station 100,000 troops along the nation’s border with Ukraine.<br> The FSB <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="http://www.fsb.ru/fsb/press/message/single.htm%21id%3D10439388%40fsbMessage.html">said</a> it arrested 14 REvil ransomware members, and searched more than two dozen addresses in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Leningrad and Lipetsk. As part of the raids, the FSB seized more than $600,000 US dollars, 426 million rubles (~$USD 5.5 million), 500,000 euros, and 20 “premium cars” purchased with funds obtained from cybercrime.<br> “The search activities were based on the appeal of the US authorities, who reported on the leader of the criminal community and his involvement in encroaching on the information resources of foreign high-tech companies by introducing malicious software, encrypting information and extorting money for its decryption,” the FSB said. “Representatives of the US competent authorities have been informed about the results of the operation.”<br> The FSB did not release the names of any of the individuals arrested, although a report from the Russian news agency TASS <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://tass.ru/proisshestviya/13431845">mentions two defendants</a> : Roman Gennadyevich Muromsky , and Andrey Sergeevich Bessonov . Russian media outlet RIA Novosti released video footage from some of the raids:<br> REvil is widely thought to be a reincarnation of <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/?s=gandcrab">GandCrab</a> , a Russian-language ransomware affiliate program that bragged of stealing more than $2 billion when it closed up shop in the summer of 2019. For roughly the next two years, REvil’s “Happy Blog” would churn out press releases naming and shaming dozens of new victims each week. A February 2021 analysis from researchers at IBM found the REvil gang <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.ibm.com/security/data-breach/threat-intelligence">earned more than $120 million in 2020 alone</a> .<br> But all that changed last summer, when REvil associates working with another ransomware group — DarkSide — attacked Colonial Pipeline , <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/05/a-closer-look-at-the-darkside-ransomware-gang/">causing fuel shortages and price spikes across the United States</a> . Just months later, a multi-country law enforcement operation allowed investigators <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/exclusive-governments-turn-tables-ransomware-gang-revil-by-pushing-it-offline-2021-10-21/">to hack into the REvil gang’s operations and force the group offline</a> .<br> In November 2021, Europol <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.europol.europa.eu/media-press/newsroom/news/five-affiliates-to-sodinokibi/revil-unplugged">announced</a> it arrested seven REvil affliates who collectively made more than $230 million worth of ransom demands since 2019. At the same time, U.S. authorities <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/11/revil-ransom-arrest-6m-seizure-and-10m-reward/">unsealed two indictments against a pair of accused REvil cybercriminals</a> , which referred to the men as “REvil Affiliate #22” and “REvil Affiliate #23.”<br> It is clear that U.S. authorities have known for some time the real names of REvil’s top captains and moneymakers. Last fall, President Biden told Putin that <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/09/ransomware-biden-presses-putin-to-disrupt-cybercriminals-in-russia.html">he expects Russia to act</a> when the United States shares information on specific Russians involved in ransomware activity.<br> So why now? Russia has amassed approximately 100,000 troops along its southern border with Ukraine, and diplomatic efforts to defuse the situation have reportedly broken down. The Washington Post and other media outlets today <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/russia-ukraine-invasion-sabotage-operations/2022/01/14/769314a2-754f-11ec-8ec6-9d61f7afbe17_story.html">report</a> that the Biden administration has accused Moscow of sending saboteurs into Eastern Ukraine to stage an incident that could give Putin a pretext for ordering an invasion.<br> “The most interesting thing about these arrests is the timing,” said Kevin Breen , director of threat research at <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.immersivelabs.com">Immersive Labs</a> . “For years, Russian Government policy on cybercriminals has been less than proactive to say the least. With Russia and the US currently at the diplomatic table, these arrests are likely part of a far wider, multi-layered, political negotiation.”<br> President Biden has warned that Russia can expect severe sanctions should it choose to invade Ukraine. But Putin in turn has said such sanctions could cause a complete break in diplomatic relations between the two countries.<br> Dmitri Alperovitch , co-founder of and former chief technology officer for the security firm <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.crowdstrike.com">CrowdStrike</a> , called the REvil arrests in Russia “ransomware diplomacy.”<br> “This is Russian ransomware diplomacy,” Alperovitch said on Twitter. “It is a signal to the United States — if you don’t enact severe sanctions against us for invasion of Ukraine, we will continue to cooperate with you on ransomware investigations.” <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/01/at-request-of-u-s-russia-rounds-up-14-revil-ransomware-affiliates/#more-58116">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/01/at-request-of-u-s-russia-rounds-up-14-revil-ransomware-affiliates/">At Request of U.S., Russia Rounds Up 14 REvil Ransomware Affiliates</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/con/encephalon/bamboozle/20220115-000510/ Sat, 15 Jan 2022 00:05:10 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/con/encephalon/bamboozle/20220115-000510/ March 7, 2022 Mountain Standard Time (MTS)<br> April 12-13, 2022 Moscow Standard Time (MSK)<br> July 12-13, 2022 Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)<br> October 11-12, 2022 Australian Western Standard Time (AWST)<br> November 14-18, 2022 Pacific Standard Time (PST)<br> December 12-13, 2022 Eastern Standard Time (EST)<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://owasp.org/events/">OWASP Global AppSec AsiaPac Virtual Event</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/overinsuring/enzyme/20220114-201614/ Fri, 14 Jan 2022 20:16:13 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/overinsuring/enzyme/20220114-201614/ If you already know what MetaMask does, skip this part.<br> Yet another dependency: this time to something called “<br> Update (1/14): the comments below discuss key generation in<br> , but MetaMask uses a BIP39-based keyphrase, which means that most ECDSA keys are actually generated elsewhere (allegedly in <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bip39">bitcoinjs/bip39</a> ). In retrospect this should have been obvious to me, but thanks to <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/kumavis_">@kumavis_</a> for pointing it out. I’m keeping the section below just to be complete, but this code (probably) isn’t used by MetaMask.<br> A basic point to make here is that much of this review has come down to examining code that solves a single problem: (deterministically) sampling integers within a precise range.

In fact my “review” mostly involved poking around various Github repositories to see if I could find anything that immediately jumped out as incorrect, and failing that, at least could give me a feeling for the quality of MetaMask’s crypto code. (In fact I did about half the work on my phone while eating a burrito bowl at Chipotle.)<br> And this last part isn’t just a personal gripe. My TL;DR is that finding and reviewing the correct code was made difficult because there were far too many different organizations owning the dependencies that led to the crypto routines themselves. This made me uncomfortable, given how much money these routines are responsible for securing.<br> Since many readers have probably never used DeFi, I figure I should give a quick background here on “web3” and MetaMask in particular. If you know something about MetaMask, skip this part.<br> Ok, so forget everything I did above. That was my mistake. I promise to come back to those newer code paths soon, but that’s for the future. My goal in this review was to look at MetaMask as it exists today. Apparently that means I need to look at Fedor’s <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/indutny/elliptic">elliptic</a> library.<br> seems poorly defined and serves two slightly different purposes, triggered by a boolean flag — which is just omitted in some calls.<br> A basic point to make here is that much of this review has come down to reviewing code that solves a simple problem: (deterministically) sampling integers within a precise range. So far I’ve reviewed at least two different custom implementations of the same process, both with slightly different results. Why is the same code repeated so often? Just make this a subroutine so we can analyze it and be sure it’s working correctly.<br> Anyway the (possible) issues above probably don’t really matter. I’ll assume in most cases private keys are generated correctly using a secure random number generator, which takes the most obvious risks off the table.<br> If you’re writing a security-critical routine like “sample random integer in a precise range,” write that routine one time , not multiple times.

It does not describe any vulnerabilities. If you’re the kind of person who likes a meandering and amateurish code review that goes absolutely nowhere, you’ll enjoy this post. Otherwise you might want to read something more exciting: I suggest Moxie’s recent <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://moxie.org/2022/01/07/web3-first-impressions.html">post on web3</a> .<br> For reasons I can’t fully explain, the other day I decided that it might be fun to spend an hour or two investigating the cryptography used by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://metamask.io/">MetaMask</a> .<br> For those who aren’t familiar with the tool, MetaMask is a browser-based cryptocurrency wallet that is used used to access decentralized applications (dapps) on networks like Ethereum. My interest in MetaMask is mostly just based on curiosity: I recently invested about $100 into a decentralized finance application and I wanted to see how safe it really was. While there are lots of different ways I could lose that money, taking a look at MetaMask’s crypto seemed like as good a place to start as any.<br> I want to stress that this was an extremely casual code review : I didn’t use any tooling, didn’t even download (most) code to my computer. In fact my “review” mostly involved poking around various Github repositories to see if I could find anything that immediately jumped out as incorrect, and failing that, at least could give me a feeling for the quality of MetaMask’s crypto code. (In fact I did about half the work on my phone while eating a burrito bowl at Chipotle.)<br> After an hour or two of hunting through dependencies, I made the mistake of tweeting about my feelings:<br> I decided to look at MetaMask’s crypto, and oh wow I wish I could unlook.<br> — Matthew Green (@matthew_d_green) <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/matthew_d_green/status/1481327159599841280?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 12, 2022</a><br> I swear that this offhand Tweet was not meant to make anyone unhappy or scare people that their funds were at risk. Although I had a couple of scary moments, those were entirely on me. So let me be clear as possible right now: I did not find any exploitable vulnerabilities in MetaMask’s crypto!<br> What I did come back with is an uncomfortable feeling about the complexity and quality of MetaMask’s (current) crypto code, and some unhappy feelings about its dependency structure. Some of this stuff is basically unavoidable: file it under “browser crypto is scary.” Some is specific to the way the code is laid out. And some of it is a (non-trivial) gripe: this code is is much harder to audit than it should be.<br> And this last part isn’t just a personal gripe. My TL;DR is that finding and reviewing the correct code was much harder than it had to be. Moreover, there were far too many different organizations owning the dependencies that led to the crypto routines themselves. This made me uncomfortable, given how much money these routines are responsible for securing.<br> In this post I’m going to justify these opinions by walking you through a casual skim of MetaMask’s code and and crypto dependencies. To make you feel “like you were there”, I’m going to discuss the review more or less in the order it occurred — including the embarrassing part where I went off the rails and reviewed the wrong code.<br> If you enjoy reading crypto code for entertainment, this post might be for you. If you’re hoping that this will actually lead to anything exciting, I suspect you’ll be very disappointed.<br> Quick explainer: what is MetaMask?<br> Since many readers have probably never used DeFi, I figure I should give a quick background here on “web3” and MetaMask in particular.<br> From a technical perspective, web3 is pretty straightforward. It consists of many “decentralized apps” (dapps), each of which typically comprises a (typically Javascript) front-end web app, as well as some back-end business logic. What makes dapps special is the back-end portion, which is decentralized. Generally this means it relies on a smart contract running in a network like Ethereum.<br> Web3 front-ends are just web apps, and typically they’re served to your browser via standard web infrastructure. (Security here usually means HTTPS, so anyone who hacks a server or steals a <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-12-10/badgerdao-says-cloudflare-flaw-led-to-130-million-heist">Cloudflare API key</a> can change these apps’ code in malicious ways.)<br> Of course, web apps can’t communicate directly to blockchains, nor are they a good place to store private keys. This is why MetaMask exists. In its most popular instantiation, MetaMask ships as a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox. When a web application needs to send a transaction to a smart contract (e.g., because you want to deposit money into <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://aave.com/">Aave</a> ), MetaMask is responsible for signing the transaction and shipping the transaction to the chain.<br> On the bright side for this review, the actual cryptography in MetaMask is fairly limited: as a wallet, it must generate and store Ethereum public and private keys and it also needs to handle “simple” operations like ECDSA signing. On the other hand: we’re in a browser . So nothing is actually simple.<br> Climbing the dependency ladder<br> To put some bounds on the effort required, I decided to only look at the implementation of ECDSA signing and key generation (excluding the curve operations.) This seemed like an easy task I could get done in an hour or two while eating an extended lunch.<br> Finding the starting point for a review like this was harder than I expected. In short: it isn’t easy to grok the control flow of a complex event-based <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension">Javascript browser extension</a> to find out exactly which calls are “real” and which are tests or dead code. To shortcut this problem, my approach amounts to “grepping and hoping”, starting from the “ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension">develop” branch of MetaMask’s extension repository.</a><br> A quick search for “sign” leads us to a promising call in the file <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/blob/develop/app/scripts/metamask-controller.js">metamask-controller.js</a> :<br> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/blob/develop/app/scripts/metamask-controller.js">source file</a> )<br> Sadly, following this call path quickly leads us into dependency hell.<br> First, we reach a library called <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/eth-keyring-controller">eth-keyring-controller</a> , which presumably manages Ethereum keyrings. A quick scan of that library shows it calling a second dependency: <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/MetaMask/eth-sig-util">eth-sig-util</a> . (Both are NPM packages developed by MetaMask.) We’ll jump right to the latter package, which… you guessed it, calls yet another package:<br> This call takes us out of MetaMask-owned code and out to a new package called “ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/ethereumjs-util">ethereum-jsutil</a> ” that’s maintained by the “ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/ethereumjs">Ethereum Javascript community</a> “, whoever they are. (Don’t worry, we won’t stay here long enough to care.) Of course, in this package we find yet another layer of dependency indirection:<br> From here, we head over to a package called “ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/ethereum/js-ethereum-cryptography/blob/master/src/secp256k1.ts">js-ethereum-cryptography</a> “, which holy cow is actually a repository maintained by the Ethereum project itself!<br> At this point I’m about halfway into my allotted review time and asking myself questions like “why didn’t MetaMask just call this library directly” and “why do I make poor life choices”. But never mind, we’re almost there: surely we are going to see some actual crypto code soon!<br> Except no, we are not. This is what we find in the Ethereum library:<br> Yet another call and yet another dependency: this time to something called “<br> noble<br> “. Here my quick-and-dirty approach to dependency resolution (Google “npm <package-name>”) fails me, since NPM says that “noble” is is a “ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/noble">Node.js Bluetooth Low Energy library</a> .” As cool as that would be — access the blockchain through Bluetooth! — I’m guessing this is not right.<br> A bit more searching leads me to believe that<br> is actually the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://paulmillr.com/noble/">Noble cryptography library</a> , which appears to have been developed by Paul Miller. And hey, this code looks promising! The page lists actual cryptography design goals that seem reasonable, and the code is written in TypeScript. Even better: the library has been subject to an <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://cure53.de/pentest-report_noble-lib.pdf">audit</a> by Cure53.<br> Nonetheless, and with no disrespect to Paul or anyone else in this community: I would like to take a moment to complain about this dependency structure:<br> Resolving all these pointless dependencies has eaten up a lot more of my review time than you might imagine. (I’m leaving out all the times I accidentally visited the wrong libraries because they used some combination of “js” and “ethereum” and “cryptography” and just Googling is risky here.)<br> More substantively, I can’t help but notice that there are a lot of code owners in this critical path. So far I’ve traveled through repositories owned by four different organizations, and the last one is someone’s <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/paulmillr/noble-secp256k1">personal Github account</a> . Is this normal for a system that secures billions of dollars of user funds? Maybe it should not be.<br> But enough complaining. There is actual crypto code here! We can finally look at ECDSA.<br> Except… it turns out that we can’t do that, because I made a stupid mistake.<br> After speaking with Paul Miller on Twitter, I learned that this whole code review has been premised on a very foolish assumption: namely that the code in the main (development) branches of MetaMask and its dependencies is actually the code people are using in MetaMask today. That turns out to be wrong. In fact, Paul tells me, the<br> library is slated for deployment in an upcoming release. The current release of MetaMask relies on a library called “ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/indutny/elliptic">elliptic</a> “, which was written by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/indutny">Fedor Indutny</a> .<br> I’m now scraping up those last bits of cheese in the burrito bowl.<br> Let’s look at elliptic<br> Ok, forget everything I did above. That was my mistake. I promise to come back to those newer code paths soon, but that’s for the future. My goal in this review was to look at MetaMask as it exists today. Apparently that means I need to look at Fedor’s <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/indutny/elliptic">elliptic</a> library.<br> (Note: if I was being professional then what I would really do is review all the release branches of MetaMask and all of its dependencies just to make sure I’m in the right place, and to see what the calls looked like. But life is too short: I’m going to trust Paul.)<br> The<br> elliptic<br> library is written in “plain old” Javascript, so types will tend to be confusing. On the bright side, it’s relatively compact. The core library supports Ed25519 (for EdDSA) and Secp256k1 for ECDSA on networks like Ethereum. Let’s focus on the latter.<br> I’m not a … https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220114-040549/ Fri, 14 Jan 2022 04:05:48 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220114-040549/ <ol start="2"> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.npr.org/2022/01/13/1072529477/more-than-1-million-fewer-students-are-in-college-the-lowest-enrollment-numbers-">More than 1M fewer students are in college, the lowest numbers in 50 years</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=npr.org">npr.org</a> )<br> 565 points by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=Takizawamura">Takizawamura</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29920073">15 hours ago</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29920073">965 comments</a><br></li> </ol> https://www.whatsupup.com/companies/jayvee/descrier/20220114-040039/ Fri, 14 Jan 2022 04:00:39 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/companies/jayvee/descrier/20220114-040039/ The Tragedy of Macbeth<br> Directed by Joel Coen<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/news/spearheading/harden/20220114-001815/ Fri, 14 Jan 2022 00:18:15 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/news/spearheading/harden/20220114-001815/ In September, we <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/09/introducing-apkeep-eff-threat-labs-new-apk-downloader">introduced</a> EFF <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.eff.org/tags/threat-lab">Threat Lab</a> ’s very own APK Downloader, <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/EFForg/apkeep">apkeep</a> .

More commonly, the infected PC or stolen VPN credentials the gang used to break in were purchased from a cybercriminal middleman known as an initial access broker. This post examines some of the clues left behind by “ Wazawaka ,” the hacker handle chosen by a major access broker in the Russian-speaking cybercrime scene.<br> Wazawaka has been a highly active member of multiple cybercrime forums over the past decade, but his favorite is the Russian-language community Exploit . Wazawaka spent his early days on Exploit and other forums selling distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks that could knock websites offline for about USD $80 a day. But in more recent years, Wazawaka has focused on peddling access to organizations and to databases stolen from hacked companies.<br> “Come, rob, and get dough!,” reads a thread started by Wazawaka on Exploit in March 2020, in which he sold access to a Chinese company with more than $10 billion in annual revenues. “Show them who is boss.”<br> According to their posts on Exploit, Wazawaka has worked with at least two different ransomware affiliate programs, including LockBit. Wazawaka said LockBit had paid him roughly $500,000 in commissions for the six months leading up to September 2020.<br> Wazawaka also said he’d teamed up with <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/?s=darkside">DarkSide</a> , the ransomware affiliate group responsible for <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/05/a-closer-look-at-the-darkside-ransomware-gang/">the six-day outage</a> at Colonial Pipeline last year that caused nationwide fuel shortages and price spikes. The U.S. Department of State has since offered a $5 million reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any DarkSide affiliates.<br> Wazawaka seems to have adopted the uniquely communitarian view that when organizations being held for ransom decline to cooperate or pay up, any data stolen from the victim should be published on the Russian cybercrime forums for all to plunder — not privately sold to the highest bidder. In thread after thread on the crime forum XSS , Wazawaka’s alias “ Uhodiransomwar ” can be seen posting download links to databases from companies that have refused to negotiate after five days.<br> “The only and the main principle of ransomware is: the information that you steal should never be sold,” Uhodiransomwar wrote in August 2020. “The community needs to receive it absolutely free of charge if the ransom isn’t paid by the side that this information is stolen from.”<br> Wazawaka hasn’t always been so friendly to other cybercrooks. Over the past ten years, his contact information has been used to register numerous phishing domains intended to siphon credentials from people trying to transact on various dark web marketplaces. In 2018, Wazawaka registered a slew of domains spoofing the real domain for the Hydra dark web market. In 2014, Wazawaka confided to another crime forum member via private message that he made good money stealing accounts from drug dealers on these marketplaces.<br> “I used to steal their QIWI accounts with up to $500k in them,” Wazawaka recalled. “A dealer would never go to the cops and tell them he was selling stuff online and someone stole his money.” <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/01/who-is-the-network-access-broker-wazawaka/#more-58018">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/01/who-is-the-network-access-broker-wazawaka/">Who is the Network Access Broker ‘Wazawaka?’</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/barbecuing/persuadably/20220112-041826/ Wed, 12 Jan 2022 04:18:25 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/barbecuing/persuadably/20220112-041826/ Funder<br> Investing $15+ million a year into early-stage startups. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://shl.capital">Co-invest with me?</a><br> Painter<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/stratification/pride/20220112-041648/ Wed, 12 Jan 2022 04:16:48 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/stratification/pride/20220112-041648/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://sellwild.com/itemDetail/104291965/?p=boingboing&utm_source=boingboing">$70 Jordan Flight 23 UK 8.5</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://sellwild.com/itemDetail/104291822/?p=boingboing&utm_source=boingboing">$158 Jackson JS Series Rhoads</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://sellwild.com/itemDetail/104292007/?p=boingboing&utm_source=boingboing">$82,000 2015 BMW i8</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://sellwild.com/itemDetail/104291137/?p=boingboing&utm_source=boingboing">$12,500 47 WILLY'S SEDAN DELIVERY</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/sited/implore/20220112-041618/ Wed, 12 Jan 2022 04:16:17 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/sited/implore/20220112-041618/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/11/technology/facebook-antitrust-ftc.html">A Facebook antitrust suit can move forward, a judge says, in a win for the F.T.C.

Six of the vulnerabilities were publicly detailed already, potentially giving attackers a head start in figuring out how to exploit them in unpatched systems. More concerning, Microsoft warns that one of the flaws fixed this month is “wormable,” meaning no human interaction would be required for an attack to spread from one vulnerable Windows box to another.<br> Nine of the vulnerabilities fixed in this month’s Patch Tuesday received Microsoft’s “critical” rating, meaning malware or miscreants can exploit them to gain remote access to vulnerable Windows systems through no help from the user.<br> By all accounts, the most severe flaw addressed today is <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2022-21907">CVE-2022-21907,</a> a critical, remote code execution flaw in the “ HTTP Protocol Stack .” Microsoft says the flaw affects Windows 10 and Windows 11 , as well as Server 2019 and Server 2022 .<br> “While this is definitely more server-centric, remember that Windows clients can also run http.sys, so all affected versions are affected by this bug,” said Dustin Childs from Trend Micro’s Zero Day Initiative . “Test and deploy this patch quickly.”<br> Quickly indeed. In May 2021, Microsoft patched a similarly critical and wormable vulnerability in the HTTP Protocol Stack; less than a week later, computer code made to exploit the flaw <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/exploit-released-for-wormable-windows-http-vulnerability/">was posted online</a> .<br> Microsoft also fixed three more remote code execution flaws in Exchange Server , a technology that hundreds of thousands of organizations worldwide use to manage their email. Exchange flaws are a major target of malicious hackers. Almost a year ago, hundreds of thousands of Exchange servers worldwide were compromised by malware after attackers started mass-exploiting four zero-day flaws in Exchange.<br> Microsoft says the limiting factor with these three newly found Exchange flaws is that an attacker would need to be tied to the target’s network somehow to exploit them. But Satnam Narang at Tenable notes Microsoft has labeled all three Exchange flaws as “exploitation more likely.”<br> “One of the flaws, <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2022-21846">CVE-2022-21846</a> , was disclosed to Microsoft by the National Security Agency ,” Narang said. “Despite the rating, Microsoft notes the attack vector is adjacent, meaning exploitation will require more legwork for an attacker, unlike the ProxyLogon and ProxyShell vulnerabilities which were remotely exploitable.” <a

Containerization creates situations where pid is 1, but the process runs, well, in a container. In Linux, this is realized by using a feature called “pid namespaces”. The clone(2) syscall can take the flag<br> CLONE_NEWPID<br> (“since Linux 2.6.24”), which puts the new process into a new pid namespace. This means that this process will have pid 1 inside the pid namespace, but outside (i.e. in the parent pid namespace), the process has a regular pid. Various Linux API transparently translate pids between these namespaces.<br> The pid namespaces form a hierarchy, and the one at the very top is called “initial pid namespace”.<br> You can use the tool unshare(1) to play with pid namespaces:<br> % unshare --fork --map-root-user --pid bash -c 'echo $$' 1<br> This is a way to spawn (as a regular user!) a process that has pid 1, at least, that’s what it looks like to the process.<br> We can try to find some evidence that we’re a freshly booted<br> , but none of it is really conclusive:<br> Our user id is 0, we are root (necessary but not sufficient of course).<br> $TERM<br> should be<br> linux<br> ; trivial to override.<br> $BOOT_IMAGE<br> is set, but this depends on the boot loader.<br> System uptime is “low”, but it takes the initrd boot time into account. Our non-root<br> could be spawned in a container at boot time.<br> There are also some indicators the process runs in a container using one of the popular solutions such as<br> docker<br> or<br> podman<br> The process has a lot of supplementary groups already.<br> If we were put inside a cgroup, reading<br> /proc/1/cgroup<br> will indicate it.<br> The file<br> /.dockerenv<br> exists.<br> But there are still situations, such as the<br> unshare<br> call above, where all of these things may not be true.<br> Therefore I tried to find the ultimate way to detect whether we are in the initial pid namespace.<br> I started to research this and quickly found the ioctl(2)<br> NS_GET_PARENT<br> which seemed to be useful: “Returns a file descriptor that refers to the parent namespace of the namespace referred to by fd.” However, it is useless for this purpose:<br> EPERM The requested namespace is outside of the caller's namespace scope. This error can occur if, for example, the owning user namespace is an ancestor of the caller's current user namespace. It can also occur on attempts to obtain the parent of the initial user or PID namespace.<br> Of course, it makes a lot of sense that we cannot get a handle to the surrounding pid namespace, as this would make the encapsulation provided by namespaces futile. However, coalescing these two error conditions (namespace is outside the caller namespace, and namespace is initial pid namespace) doesn’t make our life easier.<br> So, we need to bring out bigger guns in. I searched the kernel source for <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.15/A/ident/init_pid_ns">occurrences of init_pid_ns</a> , as this namespace is called in the Linux source code. There are not too many occurrences we can rely on. The taskstats module limits the<br> TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_REGISTER_CPUMASK<br> command to the initial pid namespace only, but to use this requires speaking the netlink interface, which is terrible. Also, the behavior could change in future versions.<br> One interesting, and viable approach, is <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.15/source/kernel/pid_namespace.c#L300">this limitation</a> of the reboot(2) syscall: only some<br> LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_*<br> commands are allowed to be sent inside a nested pid namespace. Now, we need to find a “harmless” command to call reboot(2) with to test this! (Obviously, only being able to suspend the machine from the initial pid namespace is not a very useful check…) There are two commands that do not do much harm:<br> LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_CAD_{ON,OFF}<br> will toggle the action that Ctrl-Alt-Delete performs. Unfortunately, it is impossible to read the state of this flag, making this test a destructive operation still. (But if you are pid 1, you may want to set it anyway, so you get pid namespace detection for free.)<br> So I kept looking for other ways until I realized there’s a quite natural property to check for, and that is to find out if there are kernel threads in the pid namespace. Kernel threads are spawned by the kernel in the initial pid namespace and help perform certain asynchronous actions the kernel has to do, subject to process scheduling. As far as I know, kernel threads never occur in a nested pid namespace, and at least the parent process of kernel threads,<br> kthreadd<br> , will always exist. Conveniently, it also always has pid 2.<br> Thus, we just need to figure out if pid 2 is a kernel thread! Note that just checking whether pid 2 exists is cheap, but racy: the container runtime could have spawned another process before we are scheduled to do the check, and this process will as well get pid 2 then.<br> Luckily, kernel threads have quite a few special properties, that are of different difficulty to check from a C program:<br> /proc/PID/cmdline<br> is empty (not a good indicator, user space processes can clear it too).<br> kernel threads have parent pid 0 (requires parsing<br> /proc/PID/stat<br> , which <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/409493">everyone gets wrong</a> the first time, or<br> /proc/PID/status<br> kernel threads have no<br> Vm*<br> data in<br> kernel threads have the flag<br> PF_KTHREAD<br> set (requires parsing<br> again).<br> kernel threads have an empty symlink for<br> /proc/PID/exe<br> I decided to go with the latter. On Linux, empty symlinks are impossible to create as a user, so we just need to check that and we’re done, right?<br> On a regular file system, using lstat(2) would have filled<br> st_size<br> with the length of the symlink. But on a<br> procfs<br> , lstat is not to be trusted, and even non-empty symlinks have<br> equal to 0. We thus really need to use the readlink(2) syscall to read the link. After doing this, you will notice that it returns<br> ENOENT<br> … exactly the same as if pid 2 did not exist!<br> We therefore need another check, to verify that pid 2 does exist. Luckily, here a lstat on<br> /proc/2/exe<br> file is fine. It must return zero.<br> Note that you need to do these operations in exactly this order , else you are subject to race conditions again: the only reason this works is that if pid 2 is<br> , it will not have terminated before the lstat check (because it cannot terminate).<br> Therefore, readlink(2) failing with<br> and lstat(2) succeeding is exactly the combination required to check pid 2 is<br> , which implies there are kernel threads in our pid namespace, which implies that we are in the initial namespace.<br> Phew, this went deeper than expected.<br> NP: David Bowie—Lazarus<br> NP: Sade—Keep Looking<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/stratification/pride/20220109-001704/ Sun, 09 Jan 2022 00:17:03 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/stratification/pride/20220109-001704/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://sellwild.com/itemDetail/104291903/?p=boingboing&utm_source=boingboing">$25,995 2018 BMW i3</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://sellwild.com/itemDetail/104291898/?p=boingboing&utm_source=boingboing">$700 Gibson 1949 TB150 5 string conversion</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/seer/hemisphere/20220109-001550/ Sun, 09 Jan 2022 00:15:50 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/seer/hemisphere/20220109-001550/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-00035-4">Landmark Webb observatory is now officially a telescope</a><br></p> <hr> The observatory has flawlessly unfurled its mirrors and sunshield — although more steps are needed before the science can begin.<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220109-000537/ Sun, 09 Jan 2022 00:05:36 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20220109-000537/ <ol> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-s-webb-telescope-reaches-major-milestone-as-mirror-unfolds">James Webb is fully deployed</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=nasa.gov">nasa.gov</a> )<br></li> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://serpapi.com/blog/how-a-routine-gem-update-ended-up-charging/">A routine gem update ended up creating $73k worth of subscriptions</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=serpapi.com">serpapi.com</a> )<br> 500 points by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=hartator">hartator</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29845724">1 day ago</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29845724">307 comments</a><br></li> </ol> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/gonadal/revving/20220108-201731/ Sat, 08 Jan 2022 20:17:30 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/gonadal/revving/20220108-201731/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://byorgey.wordpress.com/2007/06/26/deducing-code-from-types-filterm/">Deducing code from types: filterM</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/traveling/splay/20220108-201644/ Sat, 08 Jan 2022 20:16:43 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/traveling/splay/20220108-201644/ <p><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/08/science/james-webb-telescope-nasa-deployment.html">A Giant Telescope Grows in Space Everything is going great for the James Webb Space Telescope.

But Norton 360 isn’t alone in this dubious endeavor: Avira antivirus — which has built a base of 500 million users worldwide largely by making the product free — was recently bought by the same company that owns Norton 360 and is introducing its customers to a service called Avira Crypto .<br> Avira Crypto<br> Founded in 2006, <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avira">Avira Operations GmbH & Co. KG</a> is a German multinational software company best known for their Avira Free Security (a.k.a. Avira Free Antivirus). In January 2021, Avira was acquired by Tempe, Ariz.-based NortonLifeLock Inc ., the same company that now owns Norton 360.<br> In 2017, the identity theft protection company LifeLock was acquired by Symantec Corp. , which was renamed to NortonLifeLock in 2019. LifeLock is now included in the Norton 360 service; Avira offers users a similar service called Breach Monitor.<br> Like Norton 360, Avira comes with a cryptominer already installed, but customers have to opt in to using the service that powers it. Avira’s <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://support.avira.com/hc/en-us/articles/4407469485585-What-is-Avira-Crypto-">FAQ on its cryptomining service</a> is somewhat sparse. For example, it doesn’t specify how much NortonLifeLock gets out of the deal (NortonLifeLock keeps 15 percent of any cryptocurrency mined by Norton Crypto).<br> “Avira Crypto allows you to use your computer’s idle time to mine the cryptocurrency Ethereum (ETH),” the FAQ explains. “Since cryptomining requires a high level of processing power, it is not suitable for users with an average computer. Even with compatible hardware, mining cryptocurrencies on your own can be less rewarding. Your best option is to join a mining pool that shares their computer power to improve their chance of mining cryptocurrency. The rewards are then distributed evenly to all members in the pool.”<br> NortonLifeLock hasn’t yet responded to requests for comment, so it’s unclear whether Avira uses the same cryptomining code as Norton Crypto. But there are clues that suggest that’s the case. NortonLifeLock <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.avira.com/en/blog/avira-unveils-extended-features-with-avira-crypto-game-booster-and-breach-monitor">announced Avira Crypto in late October 2021</a> , but multiple other antivirus products have flagged Avira’s installer as malicious or unsafe for including a cryptominer as far back as Sept. 9, 2021.<br> Avira was detected as potentially unsafe for including a cryptominer back in Sept. 2021.

Norton’s parent firm says the cloud-based service that activates the program and allows customers to profit from the scheme — in which the company keeps 15 percent of any currencies mined — is “opt-in,” meaning users have to agree to enable it. But many Norton users complain the mining program is difficult to remove, and reactions from longtime customers have ranged from unease and disbelief to, “Dude, where’s my crypto?”<br> Norton 360 is owned by Tempe, Ariz.-based NortonLifeLock Inc . In 2017, the identity theft protection company LifeLock was acquired by Symantec Corp. , which was renamed to NortonLifeLock in 2019 (LifeLock is now included in the Norton 360 service).<br> According to <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://community.norton.com/en/forums/faq-norton-crypto">the FAQ posted on its site</a> , “ Norton Crypto ” will mine <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethereum">Ethereum</a> (ETH) cryptocurrency while the customer’s computer is idle. The FAQ also says Norton Crypto will only run on systems that meet certain hardware and software requirements (such as an NVIDIA graphics card with at least 6 GB of memory).<br> “Norton creates a secure digital Ethereum wallet for each user,” the FAQ reads. “The key to the wallet is encrypted and stored securely in the cloud. Only you have access to the wallet.”<br> NortonLifeLock began offering the mining service in July 2021, and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/cryptocurrency/norton-360-antivirus-now-lets-you-mine-ethereum-cryptocurrency/">early news coverage of the program</a> did not immediately receive widespread attention. That changed on Jan. 4, when <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://boingboing.net/">Boing Boing</a> co-editor Cory Doctorow <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/doctorow/status/1478479483585933312">tweeted</a> that NortonCrypto would run by default for Norton 360 users.<br> NortonLifeLock says Norton Crypto is an opt-in feature only and is not enabled without user permission.<br> “If users have turned on Norton Crypto but no longer wish to use the feature, it can be disabled by temporarily shutting off ‘tamper protection’ (which allows users to modify the Norton installation) and deleting NCrypt.exe from your computer,” NortonLifeLock said in a written statement. However, many users <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/no-easy-way-to-uninstall-norton-crypto/">have reported difficulty removing the mining program</a> .<br> From reading user posts on the Norton Crypto community forum, it seems some longtime Norton customers were horrified at the prospect of their antivirus product installing coin-mining software, regardless of whether the mining service was turned off by default.<br> “How on Earth could anyone at Norton think that adding crypto mining within a security product would be a good thing?,” reads <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://community.norton.com/en/comment/8518793#comment-8518793">a Dec. 28 thread</a> titled “Absolutely furious.”<br> “Norton should be DETECTING and killing off crypto mining hijacking, not installing their own,” the post reads. “The product people need firing.

Maybe “celebrate” is too indelicate a word for a year wracked by the global pandemics of COVID-19 and ransomware. Especially since stories about both have helped to grow the audience here tremendously in 2021. But this site’s birthday also is a welcome opportunity to thank you all for your continued readership and support, which helps keep the content here free to everyone.<br> More than seven million unique visitors came to KrebsOnSecurity.com in 2021, generating some 12 million+ pageviews and leaving almost 8,000 comments. We also now have nearly 50,000 subscribers to <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/subscribe/">our email newsletter</a> , which is still just a text-based (non-HTML) email that goes out each time a new story is published here (~2-3 times a week).<br> Back when this site first began 12 years ago, I never imagined it would attract such a level of engagement. Before launching KrebsOnSecurity, I was a tech reporter for washingtonpost.com. For many years, The Post’s website was physically, financially and editorially separate from what the dot-com employees affectionately called “The Dead Tree Edition.” When the two newsrooms finally merged in 2009, my position was eliminated.<br> Happily, the blog I authored for four years at washingtonpost.com — Security Fix — had attracted a sizable readership, and it seemed clear that the worldwide appetite for in-depth news about computer security and cybercrime would become practically insatiable in the coming years.<br> Happier still, The Post offered a severance package equal to six months of my salary. Had they not thrown that lifeline, I doubt I’d have had the guts to go it alone. But at the time, my wife basically said I had six months to make this “blog thing” work, or else find a “real job.”<br> God bless her eternal patience with my adopted occupation, because KrebsOnSecurity has helped me avoid finding a real job for a dozen years now. And hopefully they let me keep doing this, because at this point I’m certainly unqualified to do much else.<br> I’d be remiss if I didn’t take this opportunity to remind Dear Readers that advertisers do help keep the content free here to everyone. For security and privacy reasons, KrebsOnSecurity does not host any third-party content on this site — and this includes the ad creatives, which are simply images or GIFs vetted by Yours Truly and served directly from krebsonsecurity.com.<br> That’s a long-winded way of asking: If you regularly visit KrebsOnSecurity.com with an ad blocker, please consider adding an exception for this site.<br> Thanks again, Dear Readers.

It is actively moderated under the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.scala-lang.org/conduct/">Scala Code of Conduct</a> .<br> Popular channels on the server include #scala-users, #scala-contributors, #announcements, #jobs, #tooling, #scala-js, #scala-native, and others. New channels can be proposed on #admin.<br> What about Gitter?<br> Adopting Discord means we have moved away from Gitter. Most of our old Gitter rooms are now closed. The main room remains open, but mainly so we can help people find us on Discord.<br> Gitter served the Scala community extremely well for more than six years. We applaud the Gitter team for their pioneering efforts, which revolutionized public online chat for programmers. We also thank Gitter for providing us with free, high-quality service for so long.<br> How is Discord different?<br> A Discord “server” may contain many “channels”, also called rooms.<br> When you join a Discord server, all of the public channels on that server are immediately visible to you. Unlike Gitter, you don’t have to join each channel individually. (But you can individually mute channels that don’t interest you.)<br> There is a desktop client and a mobile client (for iOS and Android). Both are high quality.<br> Former Gitter users will notice a number of quality-of-life and user-interface improvements such as reactions and replies.<br> What other chat servers exist?<br> Scala enthusiasts might also be interested in joining the following Discord servers:<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://discord.gg/RFpSVth">Scalameta</a> : Scalameta-based tooling: Metals, Scalameta, Scalafix, Scalafmt, and Mdoc<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://discord.gg/XF3CXcMzqD">Typelevel</a> : the Typelevel ecosystem for pure-functional programming in Scala<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://discord.gg/2ccFBr4">ZIO</a> : Type-safe, composable asynchronous and concurrent programming for Scala<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://discord.gg/K6XHBSh">Functional Programming</a> : not Scala-specific, but includes a Scala channel<br> And although we have closed down all but one of the official Scala Gitter rooms, as of December 2021 there are still some active Gitter rooms out there devoted to particular libraries or topics, for example <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://gitter.im/playframework/playframework">playframework/playframework</a> .<br> What about non-English languages?<br> Our website’s <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.scala-lang.org/community/#chat-rooms">community page</a> lists chat rooms and servers for many other languages besides English. Discord, Gitter, and Telegram are all represented.<br> As of December 2021, the list is probably not very up-to-date. We invite the community to submit pull requests that will make it more current, one language at a time. The file to edit on GitHub is <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/scala/scala-lang/blob/main/community/index.md">community/index.md</a> .<br> Are other clients supported?<br> Yes, via <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://matrix.org">Matrix</a> . You can connect to<br> #scala-lang:matrix.org<br> over the bridge, using your Matrix client of choice (perhaps <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://element.io">Element</a> ). Not all Discord features are supported.<br> How did we decide to switch to Discord?<br> The community discussion of record on this began in October 2019 on the following Discourse thread:<br> https://users.scala-lang.org/t/can-we-have-an-official-scala-discord-server/5157<br> Among the objections raised were:<br> Discord is a proprietary, closed-source platform.<br> The contents of Discord rooms are not indexed on the public web.<br> But in the end, Discord’s feature set and its sheer popularity decided the matter. By the time we officially switched over in December 2021, most of the community had already voted with their feet and our Discord server had become much more active than our Gitter rooms.<br> Slack was considered as an option, but we decided it is best suited for private companies and groups, but not so well suited for open-ended public communities like ours.<br> Tell us more history.<br> Okay, let’s take a trip down memory lane.<br> During Scala’s earliest days (at least since 2007, perhaps earlier), the main chat platform for Scala was IRC. In those early years, when the community was still small and there weren’t that many Scala conferences and meetups yet, the IRC channel (along with the Google Groups mailing lists) was an important place where community members got to know each other and, one might even say, became a community.<br> Later, the IRC channel declined in popularity. In my personal view, this was due to a lack of moderation and lack of any code of conduct. It became essential to have these once the Scala community had become larger.<br> The IRC channel still exists to this day, now on <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://libera.chat">Libera</a> instead of Freenode, but traffic there has slowed to a trickle in recent years.<br> Gitter launched in 2014 and was widely adopted by the Scala community in 2015. The major advantages of Gitter over IRC include:<br> Scrollback: you can log out, log back on, and still see what people were saying while you were away. (On IRC, this was only possible if you used special software.)<br> Markdown support, including syntax-highlighting of Scala code.<br> Messages can be edited (within a limited time frame) and deleted.<br> More features supporting effective content moderation.<br> Discord shares these advantages as well.<br> Some advantages of Gitter that Discord doesn’t share:<br> GitHub integration, including GitHub-based login. (No need to make a separate account.)<br> Easy, decentralized, room creation, with room names based on GitHub repo names, making it a no-brainer for an open source maintainer to create a room specifically for their library.<br> However, in recent years, the Gitter platform largely stopped advancing and eventually came to feel stale. After Gitter was acquired by GitLab in 2017, some features were added such as threading, but the implementation of threading was unpopular with users. The quality and feature set of the mobile client fell behind those of the desktop client. New Vector Limited acquired Gitter in 2020 and added Matrix support, but otherwise has not advanced the platform.<br> Meanwhile, Discord was becoming extremely popular in the video gaming community, then crossed over into programming communities.<br> Are the old Gitter rooms archived?<br> The main Gitter room for Scala, <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://gitter.im/scala/scala">scala/scala</a> remains online and searchable. We’ll probably leave it online indefinitely.<br> The other Gitter rooms under the scala/* organization have been deleted and their contents archived; the Scala Center retains the archives.<br> Credits<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/salarrahmanian">Salar Rahmanian</a> created the Scala Discord server initially and administered it until recently. We are grateful to him for leading the way. Thank you, Salar!<br> Personally, I would also like to applaud and thank everyone who’s ever been helpful and kind to a Scala newcomer arriving in one of our chat rooms for the first time.

The vulnerabilities allow an attacker to perform remote code execution by exploiting the insecure JNDI lookups feature exposed by the logging library log4j. This exploitable feature was enabled by default in many versions of the library.<br> This vulnerability has captivated the information security ecosystem since its disclosure on December 9th because of both its severity and widespread impact. As a popular logging tool, log4j is used by tens of thousands of software packages (known as artifacts in the Java ecosystem) and projects across the software industry. User’s lack of visibility into their dependencies and transitive dependencies has made patching difficult; it has also made it difficult to determine the full blast radius of this vulnerability. Using <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://deps.dev/">Open Source Insights</a> , a project to help understand open source dependencies, we surveyed all versions of all artifacts in the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.maven.org/">Maven Central Repository</a> to determine the scope of the issue in the open source ecosystem of JVM based languages, and to track the ongoing efforts to mitigate the affected packages.<br> How widespread is the log4j vulnerability?<br> As of December 16, 2021, we found that 35,863 of the available Java artifacts from Maven Central depend on the affected log4j code. This means that more than 8% of all packages on Maven Central have at least one version that is impacted by this vulnerability. (These numbers do not encompass all Java packages, such as directly distributed binaries, but Maven Central is a strong proxy for the state of the ecosystem.) As far as ecosystem impact goes, 8% is enormous. The average ecosystem impact of advisories affecting Maven Central is 2%, with the median less than 0.1%.<br> Direct dependencies account for around 7,000 of the affected artifacts, meaning that any of its versions depend upon an affected version of log4j-core or log4j-api, as described in the CVEs. The majority of affected artifacts come from indirect dependencies (that is, the dependencies of one’s own dependencies), meaning log4j is not explicitly defined as a dependency of the artifact, but gets pulled in as a transitive dependency.<br> What is the current progress in fixing the open source JVM ecosystem? We counted an artifact as fixed if the artifact had at least one version affected and has released a greater stable version (according to <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="http://semver.org/">semantic</a> versioning) that is unaffected. An artifact affected by log4j is considered fixed if it has updated to 2.16.0 or removed its dependency on log4j altogether. At the time of writing, nearly five thousand of the affected artifacts have been fixed. This represents a rapid response and mammoth effort both by the log4j maintainers and the wider community of open source consumers. That leaves over 30,000 artifacts affected, many of which are dependent on another artifact to patch (the transitive dependency) and are likely blocked.<br> Why is fixing the JVM ecosystem hard?<br> Most artifacts that depend on log4j do so indirectly. The deeper the vulnerability is in a dependency chain, the more steps are required for it to be fixed. The following diagram shows a histogram of how deeply an affected log4j package (core or api) first appears in consumers dependency graphs. F or greater than 80% of the packages, the vulnerability is more than one level deep, with a majority affected five levels down (and some as many as nine levels down). These packages will require fixes throughout all parts of the tree, starting from the deepest dependencies first.<br> Another difficulty is caused by ecosystem-level choices in the dependency resolution algorithm and requirement specification conventions. In the Java ecosystem, it’s common practice to specify “ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Dependency_Version_Requirement_Specification">soft</a> ” version requirements — exact versions that are used by the resolution algorithm if no other version of the same package appears earlier in the dependency graph. Propagating a fix often requires explicit action by the maintainers to update the dependency requirements to a patched version. This practice is in contrast to other ecosystems, such as npm, where it’s common for developers to specify open ranges for dependency requirements. Open ranges allow the resolution algorithm to select the most recently released version that satisfies dependency requirements, thereby pulling in new fixes. Consumers can get a patched version on the next build after the patch is available, which propagates up the dependencies quickly. (This approach is not without its drawbacks; pulling in new fixes can also pull in new problems.)<br> How long will it take for this vulnerability to be fixed across the entire ecosystem?<br> It’s hard to say. We looked at all publicly disclosed critical advisories affecting Maven packages to get a sense of how quickly other vulnerabilities have been fully addressed. Less than half (48%) of the artifacts affected by a vulnerability have been fixed, so we might be in for a long wait, likely years. But things are looking promising on the log4j front. After less than a week, 4,620 affected artifacts (~13%) have been fixed. This, more than any other stat, speaks to the massive effort by open source maintainers, information security teams and consumers across the globe.<br> Where to focus next?<br> Thanks and congratulations are due to the open source maintainers and consumers who have already upgraded their versions of log4j. As part of our investigation, we pulled together <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/log4j_vulnerability/log4j_top_500_dependents.csv">a list</a> of 500 affected packages with some of the highest transitive usage. If you are a maintainer or user helping with the patching effort, prioritizing these packages could maximize your impact and unblock more of the community. We encourage the open source community to continue to strengthen security in these packages by enabling automated dependency updates and adding security mitigations. Improvements such as these could qualify for financial rewards from the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://sos.dev/">Secure Open Source Rewards program</a> .

Similar to <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shellshock_(software_bug)">shellshock</a> and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://heartbleed.com/">heartbleed</a> , Log4Shell is just the latest catastrophic vulnerability in <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/NCSC-NL/log4shell/tree/main/software">software that runs the internet</a> . Our mission as the Google Open Source Security Team is to secure the open source libraries the world depends on, such as Log4j. One of our capabilities in this space is OSS-Fuzz, a free fuzzing service that is used by over 500 critical open source projects and has found more than <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://bugs.chromium.org/p/oss-fuzz/issues/list?q=type%3Dbug-security%20-status%3Aduplicate%2Cwontfix&can=1">7,000 vulnerabilities</a> in its lifetime. We want to empower open source developers to secure their code on their own. Over the next year we will work on better automated detection of non-memory corruption vulnerabilities such as Log4Shell. We have started this work by partnering with the security company <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.code-intelligence.com/">Code Intelligence</a> to <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz/pull/7016">provide continuous fuzzing for Log4j</a> , as part of OSS-Fuzz. Also as part of this partnership, Code-Intelligence improved their <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/CodeIntelligenceTesting/jazzer">Jazzer fuzzing engine</a> to make it <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/CodeIntelligenceTesting/jazzer/blob/3fed476bed7c61370e12062b5b97a939e3c5e591/sanitizers/src/main/java/com/code_intelligence/jazzer/sanitizers/NamingContextLookup.kt#L90">capable of detecting remote JNDI lookups</a> . We have awarded Code Intelligence $25,000 for this effort and will continue to work with them on securing the open source ecosystem.<br> Caption: OSS-Fuzz and Jazzer finding the Log4Shell Vulnerability<br> Vulnerabilities like Log4Shell are an eye-opener for the industry in terms of new attack vectors. With OSS-Fuzz and Jazzer, we can now detect this class of vulnerability so that they can be fixed before they become a problem in production code. Over the past year we have made a number of investments to strengthen the security of critical open source projects, and recently announced our $ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.google/technology/safety-security/why-were-committing-10-billion-to-advance-cybersecurity/">10 billion commitment to cybersecurity</a> defense including $100 million to support third-party foundations that manage open source security priorities and help fix vulnerabilities. We appreciate the maintainers, security engineers and incident responders that are working to mitigate Log4j and make our internet ecosystem safer.

Nicholas Truglia was part of a group alleged to have stolen more than $100 million from cryptocurrency investors using fraudulent “SIM swaps,” scams in which identity thieves hijack a target’s mobile phone number and use that to wrest control over the victim’s online identities.<br> Truglia <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/trugliaadmission.png">admitted</a> to a New York federal court that he let a friend use his account at crypto-trading platform Binance in 2018 to launder more than $20 million worth of virtual currency stolen from Michael Terpin , a cryptocurrency investor who co-founded the first angel investor group for bitcoin enthusiasts.<br> Following the theft, Terpin filed a civil lawsuit against Truglia with the Los Angeles Superior court. In May 2019, the jury awarded Terpin a $75.8 million judgment against Truglia. In January 2020, a New York grand jury <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/trugliaIndictment.pdf">criminally indicted Truglia</a> (PDF) for his part in the crypto theft from Terpin.<br> A SIM card is the tiny, removable chip in a mobile device that allows it to connect to the provider’s network. Customers can legitimately request a SIM swap when their mobile device has been damaged or lost, or when they are switching to a different phone that requires a SIM card of another size.<br> Nicholas Truglia, holding bottle. Image: twitter.com/erupts<br> But fraudulent SIM swaps are frequently abused by scam artists who trick mobile providers into tying a target’s service to a new SIM card and mobile phone controlled by the scammers. Unauthorized SIM swaps often are perpetrated by fraudsters who have already stolen or phished a target’s password, as many financial institutions and online services rely on text messages to send users a one-time code for multi-factor authentication.<br> Compounding the threat, many websites let customers reset their passwords merely by clicking a link sent via SMS to the mobile phone number tied to the account, meaning anyone who controls that phone number can reset the passwords for those accounts.<br> Reached for comment, Terpin said his assailant got off easy.<br> “I am outraged that after nearly four years and hundreds of pages of evidence that the best the prosecutors could recommend was a plea bargain for a single, relatively minor count of the unauthorized use of a Binance exchange account, when all the evidence points toward Truglia being one of two masterminds of a wide-ranging criminal conspiracy to steal crypto from me and others,” Terpin told KrebsOnSecurity.<br> Terpin said public court records already show Truglia bragging about stealing his funds and using it to finance a lavish lifestyle.<br> “He at the very least withdrew 100 bitcoin (worth $1.6 million at the time and nearly $5 million today) from my theft into his wallet at a separate, US-based exchange, and then moved or spent it,” Terpin said. “The fact is that the intentional theft of $24 million, whether taken at the point of a gun in a bank or through a SIM card swap, is a major felony. Truglia should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”<br> Nicholas Truglia, showing off a diamond-studded Piaget watch while aboard a private jet.

We are aware that NSO sells similar zero-click capabilities which target Android devices; Project Zero does not have samples of these exploits but if you do, please reach out.<br> From One to Zero<br> In previous cases such as the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://citizenlab.ca/2016/08/million-dollar-dissident-iphone-zero-day-nso-group-uae/">Million Dollar Dissident from 2016</a> , targets were sent links in SMS messages:<br> Screenshots of Phishing SMSs reported to Citizen Lab in 2016<br> source: <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://citizenlab.ca/2016/08/million-dollar-dissident-iphone-zero-day-nso-group-uae/">https://citizenlab.ca/2016/08/million-dollar-dissident-iphone-zero-day-nso-group-uae/</a><br> The target was only hacked when they clicked the link, a technique known as a one-click exploit. Recently, however, it has been documented that NSO is offering their clients zero-click exploitation technology, where even very technically savvy targets who might not click a phishing link are completely unaware they are being targeted. In the zero-click scenario no user interaction is required. Meaning, t he attacker doesn't need to send phishing messages; the exploit just works silently in the background . Short of not using a device, t here is no way to prevent exploitation by a zero-click exploit; it's a weapon against which there is no defense .<br> One weird trick<br> The initial entry point for Pegasus on iPhone is iMessage. This means that a victim can be targeted just using their phone number or AppleID username.<br> iMessage has native support for GIF images, the typically small and low quality animated images popular in meme culture. You can send and receive GIFs in iMessage chats and they show up in the chat window. Apple wanted to make those GIFs loop endlessly rather than only play once, so very early on in the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2021/01/a-look-at-imessage-in-ios-14.html">iMessage parsing and processing pipeline</a> (after a message has been received but well before the message is shown), iMessage calls the following method in the IMTranscoderAgent process (outside the "BlastDoor" sandbox), passing any image file received with the extension .gif :<br> [IMGIFUtils copyGifFromPath:toDestinationPath:error]<br> Looking at the selector name, the intention here was probably to just copy the GIF file before editing the loop count field, but the semantics of this method are different. Under the hood it uses the CoreGraphics APIs to render the source image to a new GIF file at the destination path. And just because the source filename has to end in .gif , that doesn't mean it's really a GIF file.<br> The ImageIO library, <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2020/04/fuzzing-imageio.html">as detailed in a previous Project Zero blogpost</a> , is used to guess the correct format of the source file and parse it, completely ignoring the file extension. Using this "fake gif" trick, over 20 image codecs are suddenly part of the iMessage zero-click attack surface, including some very obscure and complex formats, remotely exposing probably hundreds of thousands of lines of code.<br> Note: Apple inform us that they have restricted the available ImageIO formats reachable from IMTranscoderAgent starting in iOS 14.8.1 (26 October 2021), and completely removed the GIF code path from IMTranscoderAgent starting in iOS 15.0 (20 September 2021), with GIF decoding taking place entirely within BlastDoor.<br> A PDF in your GIF<br> NSO uses the "fake gif" trick to target a vulnerability in the CoreGraphics PDF parser.<br> PDF was a popular target for exploitation around a decade ago, due to its ubiquity and complexity. Plus, the availability of javascript inside PDFs made development of reliable exploits far easier. The CoreGraphics PDF parser doesn't seem to interpret javascript, but NSO managed to find something equally powerful inside the CoreGraphics PDF parser...<br> Extreme compression<br> In the late 1990's, bandwidth and storage were much more scarce than they are now. It was in that environment that the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JBIG2">JBIG2</a> standard emerged. JBIG2 is a domain specific image codec designed to compress images where pixels can only be black or white.<br> It was developed to achieve extremely high compression ratios for scans of text documents and was implemented and used in high-end office scanner/printer devices like the XEROX WorkCenter device shown below. If you used the scan to pdf functionality of a device like this a decade ago, your PDF likely had a JBIG2 stream in it.<br> A Xerox WorkCentre 7500 series multifunction printer, which used JBIG2<br> for its scan-to-pdf functionality<br> source: <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.office.xerox.com/en-us/multifunction-printers/workcentre-7545-7556/specifications">https://www.office.xerox.com/en-us/multifunction-printers/workcentre-7545-7556/specifications</a><br> The PDFs files produced by those scanners were exceptionally small, perhaps only a few kilobytes. There are two novel techniques which JBIG2 uses to achieve these extreme compression ratios which are relevant to this exploit:<br> Technique 1: Segmentation and substitution<br> Effectively every text document, especially those written in languages with small alphabets like English or German, consists of many repeated letters (also known as glyphs ) on each page. JBIG2 tries to segment each page into glyphs then uses simple pattern matching to match up glyphs which look the same:<br> Simple pattern matching can find all the shapes which look similar on a page,<br> in this case all the 'e's<br> JBIG2 doesn't actually know anything about glyphs and it isn't doing OCR (optical character recognition.) A JBIG encoder is just looking for connected regions of pixels and grouping similar looking regions together. The compression algorithm is to simply substitute all sufficiently-similar looking regions with a copy of just one of them:<br> Replacing all occurrences of similar glyphs with a copy of just one often yields a document which is still quite legible and enables very high compression ratios<br> In this case the output is perfectly readable but the amount of information to be stored is significantly reduced. Rather than needing to store all the original pixel information for the whole page you only need a compressed version of the "reference glyph" for each character and the relative coordinates of all the places where copies should be made. The decompression algorithm then treats the output page like a canvas and "draws" the exact same glyph at all the stored locations.<br> There's a significant issue with such a scheme: it's far too easy for a poor encoder to accidentally swap similar looking characters, and this can happen with interesting consequences. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="http://www.dkriesel.com/en/blog/2013/0802_xerox-workcentres_are_switching_written_numbers_when_scanning">D. Kriesel's blog has some motivating examples</a> where PDFs of scanned invoices have different figures or PDFs of scanned construction drawings end up with incorrect measurements. These aren't the issues we're looking at, but they are one significant reason why JBIG2 is not a common compression format anymore.<br> Technique 2: Refinement coding<br> As mentioned above, the substitution based compression output is lossy. After a round of compression and decompression the rendered output doesn't look exactly like the input. But JBIG2 also supports lossless compression as well as an intermediate "less lossy" compression mode.<br> It does this by also storing (and compressing) the difference between the substituted glyph and each original glyph. Here's an example showing a difference mask between a substituted character on the left and the original lossless character in the middle:<br> Using the XOR operator on bitmaps to compute a difference image<br> In this simple example the encoder can store the difference mask shown on the right, then during decompression the difference mask can be XORed with the substituted character to recover the exact pixels making up the original character.

The Microsoft patches include six previously disclosed security flaws, and one that is already being actively exploited. But this month’s Patch Tuesday is overshadowed by the “ Log4Shell ” 0-day exploit in a popular Java library that web server administrators are now racing to find and patch amid widespread exploitation of the flaw.<br> Log4Shell is the name picked for a critical flaw disclosed Dec. 9 in the popular logging library for Java called “ log4j ,” which is included in a huge number of Java applications. Publicly released exploit code allows an attacker to force a server running a vulnerable log4j library to execute commands, such as downloading malicious software or opening a backdoor connection to the server.<br> According to researchers at Lunasec , many, many services are vulnerable to this exploit.<br> “Cloud services like Steam, Apple iCloud, and apps like Minecraft have already been found to be vulnerable,” Lunasec <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.lunasec.io/docs/blog/log4j-zero-day/">wrote</a> . “Anybody using Apache Struts is likely vulnerable. We’ve seen similar vulnerabilities exploited before in breaches like the 2017 Equifax data breach. An extensive list of responses from impacted organizations has been compiled <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://gist.github.com/SwitHak/b66db3a06c2955a9cb71a8718970c592">here</a> .”<br> “If you run a server built on open-source software, there’s a good chance you are impacted by this vulnerability,” said Dustin Childs of Trend Micro’s Zero Day Initiative. “Check with all the vendors in your enterprise to see if they are impacted and what patches are available.”<br> Part of the difficulty in patching against the Log4Shell attack is identifying all of the vulnerable web applications, said Johannes Ullrich , an incident handler and blogger for the SANS Internet Storm Center . “Log4Shell will continue to haunt us for years to come. Dealing with log4shell will be a marathon,” Ullrich said. “Treat it as such.” SANS has <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://isc.sans.edu/forums/diary/RCE+in+log4j+Log4Shell+or+how+things+can+get+bad+quickly/28120/">a good walk-through</a> of how simple yet powerful the exploit can be.<br> “Basically the perfect ending to cybersecurity in 2021 is a 90s style Java vulnerability in an open source module, written by two volunteers with no funding, used by large cybersecurity vendors, undetected until Minecraft chat got pwned, where nobody knows how to respond properly,” researcher Kevin Beaumont <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/GossiTheDog/status/1470787395805192199">quipped</a> on Twitter. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/12/microsoft-patch-tuesday-december-2021-edition/#more-57908">Continue reading →</a><br> The consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers recently published lessons learned from the disruptive and costly ransomware attack in May 2021 on Ireland’s public health system. The unusually candid post-mortem found that nearly two months elapsed between the initial intrusion and the launching of the ransomware. It also found affected hospitals had tens of thousands of outdated Windows 7 systems, and that the health system’s IT administrators failed to respond to multiple warning signs that a massive attack was imminent.<br> PWC’s timeline of the days leading up to the deployment of Conti ransomware on May 14.<br> Ireland’s Health Service Executive (HSE), which operates the country’s public health system, got hit with <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.cisa.gov/uscert/ncas/alerts/aa21-265a">Conti ransomware</a> on May 14, 2021. A timeline in the report (above) says the initial infection of the “patient zero” workstation happened on Mar. 18, 2021, when an employee on a Windows computer opened a booby-trapped Microsoft Excel document in a phishing email that had been sent two days earlier.<br> Less than a week later, the attacker had established a reliable backdoor connection to the employee’s infected workstation. After infecting the system, “the attacker continued to operate in the environment over an eight week period until the detonation of the Conti ransomware on May 14, 2021,” the report states.<br> According to <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.hse.ie/eng/services/publications/conti-cyber-attack-on-the-hse-full-report.pdf">PWC’s report</a> (PDF), there were multiple warnings about a serious network intrusion, but those red flags were either misidentified or not acted on quickly enough:<br> On Mar. 31, 2021, the HSE’s antivirus software detected the execution of two software tools commonly used by ransomware groups — <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.secureworks.com/blog/detecting-cobalt-strike-cybercrime-attacks">Cobalt Strike</a> and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.secureworks.com/blog/detecting-cobalt-strike-cybercrime-attacks">Mimikatz</a> — on the Patient Zero Workstation. But the antivirus software was set to monitor mode, so it did not block the malicious commands.”<br> On May 7, the attacker compromised the HSE’s servers for the first time, and over the next five days the intruder would compromise six HSE hospitals. On May 10, one of the hospitals detected malicious activity on its Microsoft Windows Domain Controller, a critical “keys to the kingdom” component of any Windows enterprise network that manages user authentication and network access.<br> On 10 May 2021, security auditors first identified evidence of the attacker compromising systems within Hospital C and Hospital L. Hospital C’s antivirus software detected Cobalt Strike on two systems but failed to quarantine the malicious files.<br> On May 13, the HSE’s antivirus security provider emailed the HSE’s security operations team, highlighting unhandled threat events dating back to May 7 on at least 16 systems. The HSE Security Operations team requested that the Server team restart servers.<br> By then it was too late. At just after midnight Ireland time on May 14, the attacker executed the Conti ransomware within the HSE. The attack <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://cyberlaw.ccdcoe.org/wiki/Health_Service_Executive_ransomware_attack_(2021)">disrupted services at several Irish hospitals</a> and resulted in the near complete shutdown of the HSE’s national and local networks, forcing the cancellation of many outpatient clinics and healthcare services. The number of appointments in some areas dropped by up to 80 percent.”<br> Conti initially demanded USD $20 million worth of virtual currency in exchange for a digital key to unlock HSE servers compromised by the group. But perhaps in response to the public outcry over the HSE disruption, Conti reversed course and gave the HSE the decryption keys without requiring payment.<br> Still, the work to restore infected systems would take months. The HSE ultimately enlisted members of the Irish military to bring in laptops and PCs to help restore computer systems by hand. It wasn’t until September 21, 2021 that the HSE declared 100 percent of its servers were decrypted.<br> As bad as the HSE ransomware attack was, the PWC report emphasizes that it could have been far worse. For example, it is unclear how much data would have been unrecoverable if a decryption key had not become available as the HSE’s backup infrastructure was only periodically backed up to offline tape.<br> The attack also could have been worse, the report found:<br> if there had been intent by the Attacker to target specific devices within the HSE environment (e.g. medical devices);<br> if the ransomware took actions to destroy data at scale;<br> if the ransomware had auto-propagation and persistence capabilities, for example by using an exploit to propagate across domains and trust-boundaries to medical devices (e.g. the EternalBlue exploit used by the WannaCry and NotPetya15 attacks);<br> if cloud systems had also been encrypted such as the COVID-19 vaccination system<br> The PWC report contains numerous recommendations, most of which center around hiring new personnel to lead the organization’s redoubled security efforts. But it is clear that the HSE has an enormous amount of work ahead <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2015/04/whats-your-security-maturity-level/">to grow in security maturity</a> . For example, the report notes the HSE’s hospital network had over 30,000 Windows 7 workstations that were deemed end of life by the vendor.<br> “The HSE assessed its cybersecurity maturity rating as low,” PWC wrote. “For example, they do not have a CISO or a Security Operations Center established.” <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/12/inside-irelands-public-healthcare-ransomware-scare/#more-57854">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/12/inside-irelands-public-healthcare-ransomware-scare/">Inside Ireland’s Public Healthcare Ransomware Scare</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/con/encephalon/bamboozle/20211215-000532/ Wed, 15 Dec 2021 00:05:32 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/con/encephalon/bamboozle/20211215-000532/ Whether you are looking for a career in cybersecurity or interested in advancing your career, we invite you to join us at our 2022 February Career Fair!

How does Scala compare to the other programming languages? Does that matter for building an environmentally sustainable digital world?<br> We found out that the most important lever to reduce the energy consumption of the IT sector is to extend the lifetime of hardware . Nevertheless, the energy consumption due to running software is important, and it varies significantly between programming languages . Scala is well positioned for a high-level language, and writing low-level imperative code can make a difference.<br> The world is warming, what about the digital world?<br> According to <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/chapter/spm/">climate experts</a> , it is urgent to assess the environmental impact of our decisions (in all areas) to significantly reduce the greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions of human activities.<br> In 2019, the sector of IT was responsible for 3.5% of the worldwide GHG emissions <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.scala-lang.org#fn:1">1</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.scala-lang.org#fn:2">2</a> , which is similar to the aviation sector. More importantly, this number is growing exponentially, and it is expected to double between now and 2025 <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.scala-lang.org#fn:1">1</a> . This trajectory is obviously not sustainable. The GHG emissions of the IT sector must decrease.<br> In that regard, good news is that more and more IT companies are committing to targeting carbon neutrality, including Scala companies such as <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://about.netflix.com/en/news/net-zero-nature-our-climate-commitment">Netflix</a> , <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://corporate.zalando.com/en/newsroom/news-stories/zalando-goes-carbon-neutral">Zalando</a> , and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://stripe.com/blog/first-negative-emissions-purchases">Stripe</a> .<br> Where do we start? If we break down the GHG emissions within the IT sector, we observe that most of them happen during the manufacturing process of hardware rather than during the usage of hardware <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.scala-lang.org#fn:1">1</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.scala-lang.org#fn:3">3</a> . Therefore, the first action point is to extend the lifetime of hardware .<br> Then, we can have a look at the emissions due to using hardware, namely the emissions due to running software.<br> Do programming languages affect energy consumption?<br> The GHG emissions due to running software are caused by the energy consumption of computers. Obviously, the more computations are performed, the more energy is consumed. Said otherwise, the nature of the program is more important than the language in which it is written.<br> That being said, if we implemented the exact same program in various languages, would we observe significant differences in energy consumption, solely due to intrinsic language overhead ? This is the question <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://sites.google.com/view/energy-efficiency-languages">Rui Pereira et. al. try to answer</a> .<br> They compared the execution time, energy consumption, and memory consumption of running 10 different programs each implemented in 27 programming languages <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.scala-lang.org#fn:4">4</a> . Caution needs to be taken when interpreting benchmark results, but some general trends emerged.<br> Notably, the energy consumption does vary by factors up to 80 between programming languages . On average, C and Rust programs are the most energy efficient. Java programs consume about 2 times more energy than C programs. JavaScript/TypeScript programs consume between 4 to 20 times more energy than C programs. Finally, Python programs are black sheeps, with an energy consumption 75 times higher than C programs.<br> Where does Scala stand in this picture? Unfortunately, Scala was not included in this study.<br> Including Scala in the energy benchmarks<br> The code used by the study is <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/greensoftwarelab/Energy-Languages">open source</a> . It reuses the benchmarks of the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/">Computer Language Benchmarks Game</a> , and measures not only the execution time and memory consumption, but also the energy consumption (via <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perf_(Linux)">perf tools</a> ).<br> In order to include Scala, we had the following plan:<br> take <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://salsa.debian.org/benchmarksgame-team/archive-alioth-benchmarksgame/-/tree/master/contributed-source-code/benchmarksgame">old Scala implementations</a> of the benchmarks (which were written at a time where Scala was part of the Computer Language Benchmarks Game, and which are now sitting in an archived Git repository),<br> adapt the infrastructure created by the study to run Java benchmarks to also run Scala benchmarks.<br> However, things were not that simple in practice. First, we discovered that the existing infrastructure was not properly warming-up the JVM before running the benchmarks, leading to an over-estimation of about 30% of their energy consumption. Second, and more importantly, we noticed that the different implementations of the same benchmarks (one per programming language) were sometimes using different algorithms, making things obviously less comparable.<br> We managed to find a solution to the first issue by implementing a <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/WojciechMazur/Energy-Languages/blob/cd9a9d6d8e40911af6f823b1ecc4f6173c51c36c/Scala/sRAPL/sRAPL.scala#L9-L26">JVM-based runner</a> for the benchmarks. Our runner implements the classic scheme of running several warming-up iterations before doing measurements. It measures the energy consumption by using <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/WojciechMazur/jRAPL">jRAPL</a> .<br> Dealing with the second issue was a bit less satisfactory. We don’t have the capacity of checking and fixing the 50 benchmark implementations to use comparable algorithms. Consequently, we only focused on the Java and Scala benchmarks whose performance was too far behind their C counterpart. We modified them, when necessary, to use the same algorithm as the C implementation of the benchmark.<br> After several days of work, we had 10 Scala implementations of the benchmarks as well as an infrastructure properly warming-up the JVM before measuring their execution time, memory consumption, and energy consumption.<br> What about day-to-day code?<br> Heavily optimized code may be different from idiomatic code that we write day-to-day, and the results we would get from running the benchmarks may not be applicable to idiomatic Scala code.<br> For this reason, we also created “more idiomatic” versions of the Scala benchmarks. The usage of the double quotes is justified because 1) what is qualified as idiomatic is fairly subjective, and 2) due to our limited resources, we did not completely overhaul the implementations, but we only changed some patterns that we believe are typically non-idiomatic.<br> For instance, the “optimized” version of the<br> binary-trees<br> benchmark models an empty tree as tree whose branches are<br> null<br> final case class Tree ( left : Tree , right : Tree ) { def checkSum : Int = left match { case null => 1 case tl => 1 + tl . checkSum + right . checkSum } } object Tree { final val EmptyTree = Tree ( null , null ) }<br> Whereas the idiomatic one uses a class hierarchy:<br> sealed trait Tree { def checkSum : Int } case class NonEmptyTree ( left : Tree , right : Tree ) extends Tree { def checkSum : Int = 1 + left . checkSum + right . checkSum } case object EmptyTree extends Tree { def checkSum : Int = 1 }<br> Does this change impact performance? Keep reading to know the answer.<br> Another example of difference between idiomatic and optimized versions is the usage of Scala collections instead of Java<br> Array<br> s, and the usage of<br> loop instead of<br> while<br> loops.<br> Protocol<br> We compared the energy consumption of 10 benchmarks, each written in C, Scala, Java, JavaScript, and Python. To achieve this, we executed each benchmark 10 times (after 5 warm-up iterations), on an Intel i9-7900X @ 3.30 GHz with 20 CPUs and 128 GB of memory, with OpenJDK 17, Node 10.19.0, and Python 3.8.10.<br> You can find the source code of the benchmarks in the following Git repository: <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/WojciechMazur/Energy-Languages/tree/feature/scala-develop">https://github.com/WojciechMazur/Energy-Languages</a> .<br> Results<br> To visualize better how the languages compare (regardless of the nature of the benchmarks), we normalized the measurements, using C as a baseline.<br> The figure below shows the normalized average energy consumption for each benchmark, for the languages C, Java, and Scala (lower is better):<br> We observe that the Scala benchmarks were sometimes consuming a similar amount of energy as the C benchmark (this is the case for<br> ,<br> fannkuch-redux<br> fasta<br> , and<br> n-body<br> ), and sometimes a significantly higher amount of energy (up to 12 times more energy for<br> regex-redux<br> ).<br> The figure below shows the same information, but it now includes JavaScript and Python:<br> Compared to C, the Python benchmarks consumed between 4 to 339 times more energy, and the JavaScript benchmarks consumed between 2 to 12 times more energy.<br> Last, the figure below compares C, Java, Scala, and “idiomatic” Scala benchmarks:<br> For some benchmarks, the idiomatic version performs as well as the optimized one (for<br> , the idiomatic version performs even slightly better than the – supposedly – optimized one). However, for some other benchmarks, the idiomatic version consumes significantly more energy than the optimized one (up to 7 times more energy for<br> k-nucleotide<br> Discussion<br> Within a language, we observe a high variability between benchmarks (e.g., Python consumed between 4 to 300 times more energy than C, depending on which benchmark we look at). This makes it hard to draw general conclusions like “language X consumes N times more energy than language Y”. That being said, we believe that computing, for every language, their average energy consumption relative to C provides an order of magnitude of how the language may perform. The table below shows the average energy consumption relative to C, as well as the standard deviation:<br> Language<br> Average energy consumption (normalized)<br> Standard Deviation<br> C 1.00 0.00<br> Java 2.04 1.45<br> Scala 3.71 3.67<br> Scala (idiomatic) 6.99 4.87<br> JavaScript 7.63 3.62<br> Python 89.33 113.79<br> A similar table was shown by Rui Pereira et. al <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.scala-lang.org#fn:4">4</a> . While we did not get exactly the same numbers, the orders of magnitude remain the same.<br> We now have an answer to our initial question, “where does Scala stand in the picture?” According to these benchmarks, Scala is well positioned within high-level programming languages.<br> Also, we see that in Scala, two implementations of the same benchmark can easily show different performances, depending on your code style. For instance, the energy consumption of the<br> benchmark was between 2 to 13 times higher than the C implementation. The differences between both versions are mainly the usage of immutable Scala collections and<br> loops in the idiomatic version, as opposed to<br> s and<br> loops in the optimized version (this observation is consistent with the results of another study ran by Rui Pereira et. al. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.scala-lang.org#fn:5">5</a> ).<br> We believe that the fact that Scala embraces several programming paradigms is a strength.

The merge function (<br> ) then converts this list-of-lists into a 2-dimensional array. For the sample data, we get:<br> ┌─ ╵ 2 1 9 9 9 4 3 2 1 0 3 9 8 7 8 9 4 9 2 1 9 8 5 6 7 8 9 8 9 2 8 7 6 7 8 9 6 7 8 9 9 8 9 9 9 6 5 6 7 8 ┘<br> A low point is a point that is lower than every orthogonally adjacent point. Thanks to array progamming, we can solve this for the whole matrix at once without any loops!<br> The core idea is to shift the array into each cardinal direction, and then compute the minimum of these arrays. If the original array is smaller then the array of the minimums, it’s a low point.<br> By default, shifting (<br> «<br> »<br> ) in BQN inserts zeroes for numerical arrays.

We need to compute the basins around every low point, which is the area limited by the points of height 9.<br> Since we need to compute the size for each basin in the end, we need to know which point belongs to which basin. To get started, we first give each low point a unique number. One way to do this is to assign an index to each position and just use those that are used in the low point array.<br> In BQN, the shape (<br> ≢<br> ) of an array is the list of sizes for each axis:<br> ≢d ⟨ 5 10 ⟩<br> We count up to the product of these values and add one (to avoid numbering a basin with 0, which will be used for the basin limits). Then, we multiply this with the array of low points so all ones in it get turned into a unique basin index. We perform the multiplication under deshape, so we keep the shape of the input data:<br> s ← (1+↕×´≢d) ×⌾⥊ l ┌─ ╵ 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 23 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 47 0 0 0 ┘<br> Here’s the main idea how to solve part 2: we incrementally grow these areas by adding their neighbors until the whole array is filled. For one step, we do this with a function<br> Rise<br> Rise ← (d≠9)⊸×(»⌈«⌈«˘⌈»˘⌈⊣)<br> Here, shifting in zeroes is good enough, so we can use the monadic shift functions. The train at the end computes the maximum (<br> ⌈<br> ) of the four shifted versions and the array itself (<br> ⊣<br> ). We multiply it with a matrix that is 0 where the depth is 9, so the basin limits will be constantly zero.<br> Let’s run it once and twice to see how it works:<br> Rise s ┌─ ╵ 2 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 10 10 0 0 23 0 0 0 0 0 0 10 0 23 23 23 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 23 0 0 0 47 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 47 47 47 0 0 ┘ Rise⍟2 s ┌─ ╵ 2 2 0 0 0 0 0 10 10 10 2 0 23 23 0 0 0 0 10 10 0 23 23 23 23 0 0 0 0 10 0 23 23 23 0 0 47 47 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 47 47 47 47 0 ┘<br> As you can see, row 1 colum 3 does not get filled by basin #2 since it has height 9.<br> Now we could just iterate this step a often enough, or actually only until we reach a fixpoint; that is, applying<br> again doesn’t change the value anymore.<br> A simple way to implement a fixpoint operator is<br> _fix ← { 𝕩 ≡ 𝔽 𝕩 ? 𝕩 ; 𝕊 𝔽 𝕩 }<br> Let’s compute the filled map:<br> Rise _fix s ┌─ ╵ 2 2 0 0 0 10 10 10 10 10 2 0 23 23 23 0 10 0 10 10 0 23 23 23 23 23 0 47 0 10 23 23 23 23 23 0 47 47 47 0 0 23 0 0 0 47 47 47 47 47 ┘<br> Now, we just need to compute the sizes of the basins, which means computing a histogram of the basin numbers.

While the first part is possible with a native list based version (around 300k), the second part yields over 1.6 trillion for my input, so storing every lanternfish on its own is infeasible.<br> Luckily, with a bit of thinking we quickly realize that the position and order of the lanternfish is irrelevant and we can thus just count how many at each age we have and sum them up at the end for the answer.<br> I decided to tackle this problem using the array language <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://mlochbaum.github.io/BQN/">BQN</a> and will try to explain how it works.<br> First, let’s convert the sample input data into a histogram: For reasons that will be obvious in a minute, we compare each input element with the list of numbers from 0 to 8 (<br> ↕9<br> input ← ⟨3,4,3,1,2⟩ input =⌜ ↕9 ┌─ ╵ 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 ┘<br> If we sum this table by column now, we have a count which age appears how often (note that ages over 8 never happen):<br> d ← +˝ input =⌜ ↕9 ⟨ 0 1 1 2 1 0 0 0 0 ⟩<br> Next, we need to figure out what happens in a step. We can model one part (number decreases by 1, or becomes 8 when it was 0) by rotating (<br> ⌽<br> ) the array to the left:<br> 1 ⌽ d ⟨ 1 1 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 ⟩ 2 ⌽ d ⟨ 1 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 ⟩<br> But we also need to add the first element to column 6, e.g. by adding an appropriately scaled vector. First, the vector, which we get by taking the numbers of 0 to 8 and comparing them to 6:<br> 6=↕9 ⟨ 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 ⟩<br> Now we can scale this vector by the first element (<br> ⊑<br> (6=↕9) × ⊑ ⟨9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1⟩ ⟨ 0 0 0 0 0 0 9 0 0 ⟩<br> Finally, we put both things together. We can use a hook if we bind (<br> ⊸<br> ) the argument of the rotation to the operator:<br> Step ← 1⊸⌽ + (6=↕9)×⊑<br> Now, we simply need to repeat (<br> ⍟<br> ) this step 80 (resp. 256) times and count up the results to solve the puzzle!<br> +´ Step⍟80 d 5934 +´ Step⍟256 d 26984457539<br> This agrees with the provided example.<br> Of course, computing 256 steps is very fast, but we can wonder if there is not a more efficient solution. Let’s say we wanted to compute many lanternfish populations quickly.<br> The key realization is that<br> Step<br> is a linear function, which means:<br> (n × Step v) ≡ (Step n × v) (Step v) + (Step w) ≡ (Step v + w)<br> We can thus compute<br> for every basis vector of our 9-dimensional histogram space; let’s take the unit vectors here:<br> step256 ← {+´Step⍟256 𝕩}˘ =⌜˜↕9 ⟨ 6703087164 6206821033 5617089148 5217223242 4726100874 4368232009 3989468462 3649885552 3369186778 ⟩<br> And now we can solve part 2 for any input by using a dot-product (pairwise multiplication followed by addition):<br> step256 +´∘× d 26984457539<br> This yields the same result as above, but only does 9 multiplications and 9 additions.<br> We can also compute<br> step256<br> faster by using a bit of matrix theory. Since we know the operation of<br> step<br> on the basis vectors, we can compute the matrix<br> m<br> corresponding to this linear operator:<br> m ← Step˘ =⌜˜↕9 ┌─ ╵ 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 ┘<br> Note how we just applied<br> for every column of the identity matrix.<br> We can solve the problem the same way now by computing the 256th power of the matrix and multiplying it to the histogram vector and summing up again.<br> First, we need the matrix product:<br> MP ← +˝∘×⎉1‿∞<br> Naively, we can compute the power like this (we already have<br> to the power of 1!):<br> m256 ← m MP⍟255 m<br> Now multiply<br> d<br> to it, and sum up:<br> +´ m256 +˝∘× d 26984457539<br> Note that<br> is just the sum of rows, so we can precompute that:<br> step256 ≡ +˝˘ m256 1<br> If you paid attention, you may now wonder why we replaced 256 row operations with 255 matrix multiplications and claim it’s faster to compute. We need an additional trick: fast matrix exponentiation. Instead of 255 matrix multiplications we just need 8 matrix squarings with itself to compute the 256th power:<br> m256 ≡ MP˜⍟8 m 1<br> This yields an asymptotically faster algorithm to compute the<br> vector for higher powers. For non-powers of two you need to implement a square-and-multiply algorithm, or <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="http://wwwhomes.uni-bielefeld.de/achim/addition_chain.html">look up the optimal result</a> . This is left as an exercise to the reader.<br> For day 80 we can use only 7 matrix multiplications:<br> (MP˜⍟4 (m MP MP˜⍟2 m)) ≡ (m MP⍟79 m) 1<br> In theory, you could optimize this even further and compute a closed form from the eigenvectors of<br> , but you’ll end up with nonic roots and I have not found a way to compute them precise enough to be useful. So let’s leave it at that for now.<br> NP: Slade—My Oh My<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/news/spearheading/harden/20211209-201841/ Thu, 09 Dec 2021 20:18:41 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/news/spearheading/harden/20211209-201841/ <p><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/12/pay-hacker-save-life">How to Fix the Internet Podcast: Pay a Hacker, Save a Life</a><br></p> <hr> Manifest V3, Google Chrome’s soon-to-be definitive basket of changes to the world of web browser extensions, has been framed by its authors as “a step in the direction of privacy, security, and performance.” But we think these changes are a raw deal for users. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/07/googles-plans-chrome-extensions-wont-really-help-security">We’ve said</a> ...<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.axios.com/1-local-newspapers-lawsuits-facebook-google-3c3dee3a-cce3-49ef-b0a2-7a98c2e15c91.html">More than 200 newspapers have filed suit against Google and Facebook</a> (AKA “Meta”), alleging that the tech giants colluded to rig ad markets so that they could misappropriate ad revenues that were properly owed to the publishers.

Canadian authorities describe him as “the most prolific cybercriminal we’ve identified in Canada,” but so far they’ve released few other details about the investigation or the defendant. Helpfully, an email address and nickname apparently connected to the accused offer some additional clues.<br> Matthew Philbert, in 2016.<br> Matthew Philbert of Ottawa, Ontario was charged with fraud and conspiracy in a joint law enforcement action by Canadian and U.S. authorities dubbed “Project CODA.” The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) on Tuesday <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/OPP_News/status/1468294251867824129">said</a> the investigation began in January 2020 when the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) contacted them regarding ransomware attacks that were based in Canada.<br> “During the course of this investigation, OPP investigators determined an individual was responsible for numerous ransomware attacks affecting businesses, government agencies and private individuals throughout Canada as well as cyber-related offenses in the United States,” reads an OPP statement.<br> “A quantity of evidentiary materials was seized and held for investigation, including desktop and laptop computers, a tablet, several hard drives, cellphones, a Bitcoin seed phrase and a quantity of blank cards with magnetic stripes,” the statement continues.<br> The <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/PhilbertIndictment.pdf">U.S. indictment of Philbert</a> (PDF) is unusually sparse, but it does charge him with conspiracy, suggesting the defendant was part of a group. In an interview with KrebsOnSecurity, OPP Detective Inspector Matt Watson declined to say whether other defendants were being sought in connection with the investigation, but said the inquiry is ongoing.<br> “I will say this, Philbert is the most prolific cybercriminal we’ve identified to date in Canada,” Watson said. “We’ve identified in excess of a thousand of his victims. And a lot of these were small businesses that were just holding on by their fingernails during COVID.”<br> A DARK CLOUD<br> There is a now-dormant Myspace account for a Matthew Philbert from Orleans, a suburb of Ottawa, Ontario. The information tied to the Myspace account matches the age and town of the defendant. The Myspace account was registered under the nickname “ Darkcloudowner ,” and to the email address <a href="mailto:dark_cl0ud6@hotmail.com">dark_cl0ud6@hotmail.com</a> .<br> A search in <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.domaintools.com">DomainTools</a> on that email address reveals multiple domains registered to a Matthew Philbert and to the Ottawa phone number 6138999251 [DomainTools is a frequent advertiser on this site]. That same phone number is tied to a Facebook account for a 31-year-old Matthew Philbert from Orleans, who describes himself as a self-employed “broke bitcoin baron.”<br> Mr. Philbert did not respond to multiple requests for comment.<br> According to cyber intelligence firm <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.intel471.com">Intel 471</a> , that <a href="mailto:dark_cl0ud6@hotmail.com">dark_cl0ud6@hotmail.com</a> address has been used in conjunction with the handle “ DCReavers2 ” to register user accounts on a half-dozen English-language cybercrime forums since 2008, including <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/?s=hackforums">Hackforums</a> , Blackhatworld, and Ghostmarket.<br> Perhaps the earliest and most important cybercrime forum DCReavers2 frequented was Darkode , where he was among the first two-dozen members. Darkode was <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2015/07/the-darkode-cybercrime-forum-up-close/">taken down in 2015 as part of an FBI investigation sting operation</a> , but screenshots of the community saved by this author show that DCReavers2 was already well known to the Darkode founders when his membership to the forum was accepted in May 2009.<br> DCReavers2 was just the 22nd account to register on the Darkode cybercrime forum.<br> Most of DCReavers’s posts on Darkode appear to have been removed by forum administrators early on (likely at DCReavers’ request), but the handful of posts that survived the purge show that more than a decade ago DCReavers2 was involved in running botnets, or large collections of hacked computers.<br> “My exploit pack

More commonly, that access is purchased from a cybercriminal broker who specializes in acquiring remote access credentials — such as usernames and passwords needed to remotely connect to the target’s network. In this post we’ll look at the clues left behind by “ Babam ,” the handle chosen by a cybercriminal who has sold such access to ransomware groups on many occasions over the past few years.<br> Since the beginning of 2020, Babam has set up numerous auctions on the Russian-language cybercrime forum Exploit , mainly selling virtual private networking (VPN) credentials stolen from various companies. Babam has authored more than 270 posts since joining Exploit in 2015, including dozens of sales threads. However, none of Babam’s posts on Exploit include any personal information or clues about his identity.<br> But in February 2016, Babam joined Verified , another Russian-language crime forum. Verified was hacked at least twice in the past five years, and its user database posted online. That information shows that Babam joined Verified using the email address “ <a href="mailto:operns@gmail.com">operns@gmail.com</a> .” The latest Verified leak also exposed private messages exchanged by forum members, including more than 800 private messages that Babam sent or received on the forum over the years.<br> In early 2017, Babam confided to another Verified user via private message that he is from Lithuania. In virtually all of his forum posts and private messages, Babam can be seen communicating in transliterated Russian rather than by using the Cyrillic alphabet. This is common among cybercriminal actors for whom Russian is not their native tongue.<br> Cyber intelligence platform <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.constellaintelligence.com">Constella Intelligence</a> told KrebsOnSecurity that the <a href="mailto:operns@gmail.com">operns@gmail.com</a> address was used in 2016 to register an account at filmai.in , which is a movie streaming service catering to Lithuanian speakers. The username associated with that account was “ bo3dom .”<br> A reverse WHOIS search via <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.domaintools.com">DomainTools.com</a> says <a href="mailto:operns@gmail.com">operns@gmail.com</a> was used to register two domain names: bonnjoeder[.]com back in 2011, and sanjulianhotels[.]com (2017). It’s unclear whether these domains ever were online, but the street address on both records was “ 24 Brondeg St. ” in the United Kingdom. [Full disclosure: DomainTools is a frequent advertiser on this website.]<br> A reverse search at DomainTools on “24 Brondeg St.” reveals one other domain: wwwecardone[.]com . The use of domains that begin with “www” is fairly common among phishers, and by passive “ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2018/04/dot-cm-typosquatting-sites-visited-12m-times-so-far-in-2018/">typosquatting</a> ” sites that seek to siphon credentials from legitimate websites when people mistype a domain, such as accidentally omitting the “.” after typing “www”.<br> A banner from the homepage of the Russian language cybercrime forum Verified.<br> Searching DomainTools for the phone number in the WHOIS records for wwwecardone[.]com  — +44.0774829141 — leads to a handful of similar typosquatting domains, including wwwebuygold[.]com and wwwpexpay[.]com . A different UK phone number in a more recent record for the wwwebuygold[.]com domain — 44.0472882112 — is tied to two more domains – howtounlockiphonefree[.]com , and portalsagepay[.]com . All of these domains date back to between 2012 and 2013.<br> The original registration records for the iPhone, Sagepay and Gold domains share an email address: <a href="mailto:devrian26@gmail.com">devrian26@gmail.com</a> . A search on the username “bo3dom” using Constella’s service reveals an account at ipmart-forum.com , a now-defunct forum concerned with IT products, such as mobile devices, computers and online gaming. That search shows the user bo3dom registered at ipmart-forum.com with the email address <a href="mailto:devrian27@gmail.com">devrian27@gmail.com</a> , and from an Internet address in Vilnius, Lithuania.<br> <a href="mailto:Devrian27@gmail.com">Devrian27@gmail.com</a> was used to register multiple domains, including wwwsuperchange.ru back in 2008 (notice again the suspect “www” as part of the domain name). Gmail’s password recovery function says the backup email address for <a href="mailto:devrian27@gmail.com">devrian27@gmail.com</a> is <a href="mailto:bo3*******@gmail.com">bo3*******@gmail.com</a> . Gmail accepts the address <a href="mailto:bo3domster@gmail.com">bo3domster@gmail.com</a> as the recovery email for that devrian27 account.<br> According to Constella, the <a href="mailto:bo3domster@gmail.com">bo3domster@gmail.com</a> address was exposed in multiple data breaches over the years, and in each case it used one of two passwords: “ lebeda1 ” and “ a123456 “.<br> Searching in Constella for accounts using those passwords reveals a slew of additional “bo3dom” email addresses, including <a href="mailto:bo3dom@gmail.com">bo3dom@gmail.com</a> .  Pivoting on that address in Constella reveals that someone with the name Vytautas Mockus used it to register an account at mindjolt.com, a site featuring dozens of simple puzzle games that visitors can play online.<br> At some point, mindjolt.com apparently also was hacked, because a copy of its database at Constella says the <a href="mailto:bo3dom@gmail.com">bo3dom@gmail.com</a> used two passwords at that site: lebeda1 and a123456.<br> A reverse WHOIS search on “Vytautas Mockus” at DomainTools shows the email address <a href="mailto:devrian25@gmail.com">devrian25@gmail.com</a> was used in 2010 to register the domain name perfectmoney[.]co . This is one character off of <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Perfect_Money">perfectmoney[.]com</a> , which is an early virtual currency that was quite popular with cybercriminals at the time. The phone number tied to that domain registration was “ 86.7273687 “.<br> A Google search for “Vytautas Mockus” says there’s a person by that name who runs a mobile food service company in Lithuania called “ Palvisa .” A <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/302610044-2559-e71f3.pdf">report on Palvisa</a> (PDF) purchased from Rekvizitai.vz — an official online directory of Lithuanian companies — says Palvisa was established in 2011 by a Vytautaus Mockus, using the phone number 86.7273687 , and the email address <a href="mailto:bo3dom@gmail.com">bo3dom@gmail.com</a>. The report states that Palvisa is active, but has had no employees other than its founder.<br> Reached via the <a href="mailto:bo3dom@gmail.com">bo3dom@gmail.com</a> address, the 36-year-old Mr. Mockus expressed mystification as to how his personal information wound up in so many records. “I am not involved in any crime,” Mockus wrote in reply.<br> A rough mind map of the connections mentioned in this story.<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/12/who-is-the-network-access-broker-babam/">Who Is the Network Access Broker ‘Babam’?</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20211204-000549/ Sat, 04 Dec 2021 00:05:49 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20211204-000549/ <ol> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/exclusive-us-state-department-phones-hacked-with-israeli-company-spyware-sources-2021-12-03/">U.S. State Department phones hacked with Israeli company spyware</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=reuters.com">reuters.com</a> )<br> 732 points by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=amadeuspagel">amadeuspagel</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29432276">7 hours ago</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29432276">314 comments</a><br></li> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.blender.org/download/releases/3-0/">Blender 3.0</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=blender.org">blender.org</a> )<br></li> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://brickset.com/article/67650/lego-has-designed-a-set-that-can-t-be-taken-apart">Lego has designed a set that can't be taken apart</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=brickset.com">brickset.com</a> )<br> 537 points by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=brycehalley">brycehalley</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29429964">10 hours ago</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29429964">332 comments</a><br></li> </ol> https://www.whatsupup.com/projects/westering/miscarry/20211203-202233/ Fri, 03 Dec 2021 20:22:32 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/projects/westering/miscarry/20211203-202233/ <ol start="12"> <li>My website looks old-fashioned because it loads faster this way and (mainly) I'm too lazy to rewrite it.

In March, a Ubiquiti employee <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/03/whistleblower-ubiquiti-breach-catastrophic/">warned</a> that the company had drastically understated the scope of the incident, and that the third-party cloud provider claim was a fabrication. On Wednesday, a former Ubiquiti developer was arrested and charged with stealing data and trying to extort his employer while pretending to be a whistleblower.<br> Federal prosecutors say Nickolas Sharp , a senior developer at Ubiquiti, actually caused the “breach” that forced Ubiquiti to disclose a cybersecurity incident in January. They allege that in late December 2020, Sharp applied for a job at another technology company, and then abused his privileged access to Ubiquiti’s systems at Amazon’s AWS cloud service and the company’s GitHub accounts to download large amounts of proprietary data.<br> Sharp’s indictment doesn’t specify how much data he allegedly downloaded, but it says some of the downloads took hours, and that he cloned approximately 155 Ubiquiti data repositories via multiple downloads over nearly two weeks.<br> On Dec. 28, other Ubiquiti employees spotted the unusual downloads, which had leveraged internal company credentials and a Surfshark VPN connection to hide the downloader’s true Internet address. Assuming an external attacker had breached its security, Ubiquiti quickly launched an investigation.<br> But Sharp was a member of the team doing the forensic investigation, the indictment alleges.<br> “At the time the defendant was part of a team working to assess the scope and damage caused by the incident and remediate its effects, all while concealing his role in committing the incident,” wrote prosecutors with the Southern District of New York.<br> According to the indictment, on January 7 a senior Ubiquiti employee received a ransom email. The message was sent through an IP address associated with the same Surfshark VPN. The ransom message warned that internal Ubiquiti data had been stolen, and that the information would not be used or published online as long as Ubiquiti agreed to pay 25 Bitcoin.<br> The ransom email also offered to identify a purportedly still unblocked “backdoor” used by the attacker for the sum of another 25 Bitcoin (the total amount requested was equivalent to approximately $1.9 million at the time). Ubiquiti did not pay the ransom demands.<br> Investigators say they were able to tie the downloads to Sharp and his work-issued laptop because his Internet connection briefly failed on several occasions while he was downloading the Ubiquiti data. Those outages were enough to prevent Sharp’s Surfshark VPN connection from functioning properly — thus exposing his Internet address as the source of the downloads. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/12/ubiquiti-developer-charged-with-extortion-causing-2020-breach/#more-57755">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/12/ubiquiti-developer-charged-with-extortion-causing-2020-breach/">Ubiquiti Developer Charged With Extortion, Causing 2020 “Breach”</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20211203-000612/ Fri, 03 Dec 2021 00:06:11 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20211203-000612/ <ol> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://sprocketfox.io/xssfox/2021/12/02/xrandr/">Ideal Monitor Rotation for Programmers</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=sprocketfox.io">sprocketfox.io</a> )<br> 562 points by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=ghuntley">ghuntley</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29417484">8 hours ago</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29417484">299 comments</a><br></li> </ol> https://www.whatsupup.com/events/roaching/pennsylvania/20211203-000312/ Fri, 03 Dec 2021 00:03:12 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/events/roaching/pennsylvania/20211203-000312/ <p>Join us for Partner Solutions Day<br> Make Partner Solutions Day on Monday, Dec. 6 the next step in your re:Invent journey.

Recently, the GKE Security team discovered a <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://cloud.google.com/anthos/clusters/docs/security-bulletins#gcp-2021-018">high severity vulnerability</a> that allowed workloads to have access to parts of the host filesystem outside the mounted volumes boundaries. Although the vulnerability was patched back in September we thought it would be beneficial to write up a more in-depth analysis of the issue to share with the community. We assessed the impact of the vulnerability as described in <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/containers-kubernetes/exploring-container-security-vulnerability-management-in-open-source-kubernetes">vulnerability management in open-source Kubernetes</a> and worked closely with the GKE Storage team and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/kubernetes/committee-security-response">the Kubernetes Security Response Committee</a> to find a fix. In this post we’ll give some background on how the subpath storage system works, an overview of the vulnerability, the steps to find the root cause and the fix, and finally some recommendations for GKE and Anthos users. Kubernetes Filesystems: Intro to Volume Subpath The vulnerability, <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-25741">CVE-2021-25741,</a> was caused by a race condition during the creation of a subpath bind mount <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/#using-subpath">inside a container, and</a> allowed an attacker to gain unauthorized access to the underlying node filesystem and its sensitive files. We’ll describe how that system is supposed to work, and then talk about the vulnerability. The <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/#using-subpath">volume subpath</a> feature in Kubernetes enables sharing a volume in multiple containers inside a pod. For example, we could create a Pod with an InitContainer that creates directories with pre-populated data in a mounted filesystem volume. These directories can then be used by containers in the same Pod by mounting the same volume and optionally specifying a subpath field to limit what's visible inside the container. While there are some great use cases for this feature, it’s an area that has had vulnerabilities discovered in the past. The kubelet must be extra cautious when handling user-owned subpaths because it operates with privileges in the host. One vulnerability that has been previously discovered involved the creation of a malicious workload where an InitContainer would create a symlink pointing to any location in the host. For example, the InitContainer could mount a volume in /mnt and create a symlink /mnt/attack inside the container pointing to /etc. Later in the Pod lifecycle, another container would attempt to mount the same volume with subpath attack. While preparing the volumes for the container, the kubelet would end up following the symlink to the host’s /etc instead of the container’s /etc, unknowingly exposing the host filesystem to the container. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://kubernetes.io/blog/2018/04/04/fixing-subpath-volume-vulnerability/">A previous fix</a> made sure that the subpath mount location is resolved and validated to point to a location inside the base volume and that it's not changeable by the user in between the time the path was validated and when the container runtime bind mounts it. This race condition is known as <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-of-check_to_time-of-use">time of check to time of use (TOCTOU)</a> where the subject being validated changes after it has been validated. These validations and others are summarized in the following container lifecycle sequence diagram. Volume subpath validations before the container startup A New TOCTOU Vulnerability: CVE-2021-25741 The latest vulnerability was discovered by performing a symlink attack similar to the one explained above, with the difference being that it constantly swapped the symlink with a directory in a tight loop, using the RENAME_EXCHANGE option with <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/rename.2.html">renameat(2)</a> . If the timing is just right, the kubelet will see the path as a directory and pass the validation check. Then the mount utility may find that the path is a symlink pointing to the host and follow it, exposing the host filesystem to the container. This is visualized in the following diagram:<br> The expectation and the attack outcome<br> The GKE Security and Storage teams worked closely to revise the fix done previously to find a solution. The previous fix takes several steps to ensure that the directory being mounted is safely opened and validated. After the file is opened and validated, the kubelet uses the magic-link path under /proc/[pid]/fd directory for all subsequent operations to ensure the file remains unchanged. However, we found out that all of the efforts were undone by the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/mount.8.html">mount(8)</a> linux utility which was dereferencing the procfs magic-link by default. Once the problem was understood, the fix involved making sure that the mount utility doesn't dereference the magic-links by using the --no-canonicalize flag in the mount command. The fix is in<br> Once the problem was well understood, we fixed it inside Kubernetes and quickly <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://cloud.google.com/anthos/clusters/docs/security-bulletins#gcp-2021-018">released the fix to GKE and Anthos</a> . If GKE auto-upgrade is enabled in your clusters there's no action on your part for this vulnerability, your nodes have already been patched. We strongly recommend that customers utilize <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/concepts/cluster-upgrades">auto-upgrades</a> . Auto-upgrade gives peace of mind that your clusters are running with the latest patches. GKE released a <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://cloud.google.com/anthos/clusters/docs/security-bulletins#gcp-2021-018">Google Kubernetes Engine security bulletin</a> on this vulnerability, which detailed what customers can do to immediately remediate this issue across GKE and Anthos. We also provided guidance to customers who manually manage their node versions, ensuring that fixed releases were available in every region for our <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/concepts/release-channels">Static and Release Channels</a> .

I normally write posts to highlight some hidden attack surface or interesting complex vulnerability class. This time, I want to talk about a vulnerability that is neither of those things. The striking thing about this vulnerability is just how simple it is. This should have been caught earlier, and I want to explore why that didn’t happen.<br> In 2021, all good bugs need a catchy name, so I’m calling this one “BigSig”.<br> First, let’s take a look at the bug, I’ll explain how I found it and then try to understand why we missed it for so long.<br> Analysis<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS/Overview">Network Security Services</a> (NSS) is Mozilla's widely used, cross-platform cryptography library. When you verify an ASN.1 encoded digital signature , NSS will create a <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/f8576fec48d866c5f988baaf1fa8d2f8cce2a82f/security/nss/lib/cryptohi/secvfy.c#120">VFYContext</a> structure to store the necessary data. This includes things like the public key, the hash algorithm, and the signature itself.<br> struct VFYContextStr {<br> SECOidTag hashAlg; /* the hash algorithm */<br> SECKEYPublicKey *key;<br> union {<br> unsigned char buffer[1];<br> unsigned char dsasig[DSA_MAX_SIGNATURE_LEN];<br> unsigned char ecdsasig[2 * MAX_ECKEY_LEN];<br> unsigned char rsasig[(RSA_MAX_MODULUS_BITS + 7) / 8];<br> } u;<br> unsigned int pkcs1RSADigestInfoLen;<br> unsigned char *pkcs1RSADigestInfo;<br> void *wincx;<br> void *hashcx;<br> const SECHashObject * hashobj ;<br> SECOidTag encAlg; /* enc alg */<br> PRBool hasSignature;<br> SECItem *params;<br> Fig 1 . The VFYContext structure from NSS.<br> The maximum size signature that this structure can handle is whatever the largest union member is, in this case that’s RSA at <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/f8576fec48d866c5f988baaf1fa8d2f8cce2a82f/security/nss/lib/freebl/blapit.h#139">2048 bytes</a> . That’s 16384 bits, large enough to accommodate signatures from even the most ridiculously oversized keys.<br> Okay, but what happens if you just....make a signature that’s bigger than that?<br> Well, it turns out the answer is memory corruption. Yes, really.<br> The untrusted signature is simply copied into this fixed-sized buffer, overwriting adjacent members with arbitrary attacker-controlled data.<br> The bug is simple to reproduce and affects multiple algorithms. The easiest to demonstrate is RSA-PSS. In fact, just these three commands work:<br> # We need 16384 bits to fill the buffer, then 32 + 64 + 64 + 64 bits to overflow to hashobj ,<br> # which contains function pointers (bigger would work too, but takes longer to generate).<br> $ openssl genpkey -algorithm rsa-pss -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:$((16384 + 32 + 64 + 64 + 64)) -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_primes:5 -out bigsig.key<br> # Generate a self-signed certificate from that key<br> $ openssl req -x509 -new -key bigsig.key -subj "/CN=BigSig" -sha256 -out bigsig.cer<br> # Verify it with NSS...<br> $ vfychain -a bigsig.cer<br> Segmentation fault<br> Fig 2 . Reproducing the BigSig vulnerability in three easy commands.<br> The actual code that does the corruption varies based on the algorithm; <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/f8576fec48d866c5f988baaf1fa8d2f8cce2a82f/security/nss/lib/cryptohi/secvfy.c#477">here is the code</a> for RSA-PSS. The bug is that there is simply no bounds checking at all; sig and key are  arbitrary-length, attacker-controlled blobs, and cx->u is a fixed-size buffer.<br> case rsaPssKey :<br> sigLen = SECKEY_SignatureLen(key);<br> if (sigLen == 0) {<br> /* error set by SECKEY_SignatureLen */<br> rv = SECFailure;<br> if (sig->len != sigLen) {<br> PORT_SetError(SEC_ERROR_BAD_SIGNATURE);<br> PORT_Memcpy(cx->u.buffer, sig->data, sigLen);<br> Fig 3 . The signature size must match the size of the key, but there are no other limitations. cx->u is a fixed-size buffer, and sig is an arbitrary-length, attacker-controlled blob.<br> I think this vulnerability raises a few immediate questions:<br> Was this a recent code change or regression that hadn’t been around long enough to be discovered? No , the original code was <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://hg.mozilla.org/projects/nss/annotate/41f5eb9e5df23951883ba3243f3ae51550663d77/security/nss/lib/cryptohi/secvfy.c#l158">checked in</a> with ECC support on the 17th October 2003, but wasn't exploitable until some <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://hg.mozilla.org/projects/nss/diff/10393/security/nss/lib/cryptohi/seckey.c#l1.63">refactoring</a> in June 2012. In 2017, RSA-PSS support was <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://hg.mozilla.org/projects/nss/rev/84e886ea090e36c69df58a71665a97bd25c62d02">added</a> and made the same error.<br> Does this bug require a long time to generate a key that triggers the bug? No , the example above generates a real key and signature, but it can just be garbage as the overflow happens before the signature check. A few kilobytes of A ’s works just fine.<br> Does reaching the vulnerable code require some complicated state that fuzzers and static analyzers would have difficulty synthesizing, like hashes or checksums? No , it has to be well-formed DER, that’s about it.<br> Is this an uncommon code path? No , Firefox does not use this code path for RSA-PSS signatures, but the default entrypoint for certificate verification in NSS, CERT_VerifyCertificate(), is vulnerable.<br> Is it specific to the RSA-PSS algorithm? No , it also affects DSA signatures.<br> Is it unexploitable, or otherwise limited impact? No , the hashobj member can be clobbered. That object contains <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/41a8c58186206985c0d70d3d460c04ac844d11d0/security/nss/lib/util/hasht.h#45">function pointers</a> , which are used immediately.<br> This wasn’t a process failure, the vendor did everything right . Mozilla has a mature, world-class security team. They pioneered <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/bug-bounty/">bug bounties</a> , invest in <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://research.mozilla.org/rust/">memory safety</a> , fuzzing and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://coverage.moz.tools/">test coverage</a> .<br> NSS was one of the very first projects included with <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://google.github.io/oss-fuzz/">oss-fuzz</a> , it was officially supported since at least <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz/commit/3d325bf20f0b09961b6c7de34aa4da0d16cfa67d">October 2014</a> . Mozilla also fuzz NSS themselves with <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://llvm.org/docs/LibFuzzer.html">libFuzzer</a> , and have contributed their own <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/security/nss/fuzz/asn1_mutators.cc">mutator</a> collection and distilled <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/mozilla/nss-fuzzing-corpus">coverage corpus</a> . There is an extensive testsuite, and nightly <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/tools/sanitizer/asan.html">ASAN</a> builds.<br> I'm generally skeptical of static analysis, but this seems like a simple missing bounds check that should be easy to find. Coverity has been monitoring NSS since at least <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://scan.coverity.com/projects/nss">December 2008</a> , and also appears to have failed to discover this.<br> Until 2015, Google Chrome <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/third_party/nss/+/refs/heads/master/README.chromium">used</a> NSS, and maintained their own testsuite and fuzzing infrastructure independent of Mozilla. Today, Chrome platforms use <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://boringssl.googlesource.com/boringssl/">BoringSSL</a> , but the NSS port is still maintained.<br> Did Mozilla have good test coverage for the vulnerable areas? <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://coverage.moz.tools/#revision=latest&path=security%2Fnss%2Flib%2Fcryptohi%2Fsecvfy.c&suite=gtest&view=file&line=201">YES</a> .<br> Did Mozilla/chrome/oss-fuzz have relevant inputs in their fuzz corpus? <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://storage.googleapis.com/oss-fuzz-coverage/nss/reports/20211027/linux/src/nss/lib/cryptohi/secvfy.c.html#L201">YES</a> .<br> Is there a mutator capable of extending ASN1_ITEM s? <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://codereview.chromium.org/1677803002/patch/180001/190008">YES</a> .<br> Is this an <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/AddressSanitizerIntraObjectOverflow">intra-object overflow</a> , or other form of corruption that ASAN would have difficulty detecting? NO, it's a textbook buffer overflow that ASAN can easily detect.<br> How did I find the bug?<br> I've been experimenting with alternative methods for measuring code coverage, to see if any have any practical use in fuzzing. The fuzzer that discovered this vulnerability used a combination of two approaches, stack coverage and object isolation.<br> Stack Coverage<br> The most common method of measuring code coverage is block coverage, or <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://clang.llvm.org/docs/SanitizerCoverage.html#edge-coverage">edge coverage</a> when source code is available. I’ve been curious if that is always sufficient. For example, consider a simple dispatch table with a combination of trusted and untrusted parameters, as in Fig 4 .<br> #include <stdio.h><br> #include <limits.h><br> static char buf [ 128 ] ;<br> void cmd_handler_foo ( int a , size_t b ) { memset ( buf , a , b ) ; }<br> void cmd_handler_bar ( int a , size_t b ) { cmd_handler_foo ( 'A' , sizeof buf ) ; }<br> void cmd_handler_baz ( int a , size_t b ) { cmd_handler_bar ( a , sizeof buf ) ; }<br> typedef void ( * dispatch_t )( int , size_t ) ;<br> dispatch_t handlers [ UCHAR_MAX ] = {<br> cmd_handler_foo ,<br> cmd_handler_bar ,<br> cmd_handler_baz ,<br> } ;<br> int main ( int argc , char ** argv )<br> int cmd ;<br> while (( cmd = getchar ()) != EOF ) {<br> if ( handlers [ cmd ]) {<br> handlers [ cmd ]( getchar () , getchar ()) ;<br> Fig 4. The coverage of command bar is a superset of command foo , so an input containing the latter would be discarded during corpus minimization. There is a vulnerability unreachable via command bar that might never be discovered. Stack coverage would correctly keep both inputs. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com#ftnt1">[1]</a><br> To solve this problem, I’ve been experimenting with monitoring the call stack during execution.<br> The naive implementation is too slow to be practical, but after a lot of optimization I had come up with a library that was fast enough to be integrated into coverage-guided fuzzing, and was testing how it performed with NSS and other libraries.<br> Object Isolation<br> Many data types are constructed from smaller records. PNG files are made of chunks, PDF files are made of streams, ELF files are made of sections, and X.509 certificates are made of ASN.1 TLV items. If a fuzzer has some understanding of the underlying format, it can isolate these records and extract the one(s) causing some new stack trace to be found.<br> The fuzzer I was using is able to isolate and extract interesting new ASN.1 OIDs, SEQUENCEs, INTEGERs, and so on. Once extracted, it can then randomly combine or insert them into template data. This isn’t really a new idea, but is a new implementation. I'm planning to open source this code in the future.<br> Do these approaches work?<br> I wish that I could say that discovering this bug validates my ideas, but I’m not sure it does. I was doing some moderately novel fuzzing, but I see no reason this bug couldn’t have been found earlier with even rudimentary fuzzing techniques.<br> Lessons Learned<br> How did extensive, customized fuzzing with impressive coverage metrics fail to discover this bug?<br> What went wrong<br> Issue #1 Missing end-to-end testing .<br> NSS is a <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS/NSS_API_Guidelines">modular</a> library. This layered design is reflected in the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://searchfox.org/nss/source/fuzz/">fuzzing</a> approach, as each component is fuzzed independently. For example, the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS/NSS_Tech_Notes/nss_tech_note1#how_to_use_the_nss_asn.1_and_quickder_decoders">QuickDER</a> decoder is tested <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://searchfox.org/nss/source/fuzz/quickder_target.cc">extensively</a> , but the fuzzer simply <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://searchfox.org/nss/rev/5f2fa238b58c9158a52c0681ca2a67958a353082/fuzz/quickder_target.cc#72">creates and discards</a> objects and never uses them.<br> extern "C" int LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput( const uint8_t *Data, size_t Size) {<br> char *dest[2048];<br> for ( auto tpl : templates) {<br> PORTCheapArenaPool pool;<br> SECItem buf = {siBuffer, const_cast < unsigned char *>(Data),<br> static_cast < unsigned int >(Size)};<br> PORT_InitCheapArena(&pool, DER_DEFAULT_CHUNKSIZE);<br> ( void )SEC_QuickDERDecodeItem(&pool.arena, dest, tpl, &buf);<br> PORT_DestroyCheapArena(&pool);<br> Fig 5. The QuickDER fuzzer simply creates and discards objects. This verifies the ASN.1 parsing, but not whether other components handle the resulting objects correctly.<br> This fuzzer might have produced a SECKEYPublicKey that could have reached the vulnerable code, but as the result was never used to verify … https://www.whatsupup.com/news/nonabsorbent/freaking/20211201-201014/ Wed, 01 Dec 2021 20:10:13 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/news/nonabsorbent/freaking/20211201-201014/ <p>Karen Ducey/Getty Images<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/12/01/1060141850/a-different-kind-of-covid-vaccine-is-about-ready-to-roll">A different kind of COVID vaccine is about ready to roll</a><br></p> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/12/01/1060141850/a-different-kind-of-covid-vaccine-is-about-ready-to-roll">Protein subunit vaccines work by injecting people with a tiny portion of a virus.

Image: Barrett Lyon, opte.org.<br> Imagine being able to disconnect or redirect Internet traffic destined for some of the world’s biggest companies — just by spoofing an email. This is the nature of a threat vector recently removed by a Fortune 500 firm that operates one of the largest Internet backbones.<br> Based in Monroe, La., Lumen Technologies Inc. [ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/LUMN:NYSE">NYSE: LUMN</a> ] (formerly CenturyLink ) is one of more than two dozen entities that operate what’s known as an <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="http://www.irr.net/docs/list.html">Internet Routing Registry</a> (IRR). These IRRs maintain routing databases used by network operators to register their assigned network resources — i.e., the Internet addresses that have been allocated to their organization.<br> The data maintained by the IRRs help keep track of which organizations have the right to access what Internet address space in the global routing system. Collectively, the information voluntarily submitted to the IRRs forms a distributed database of Internet routing instructions that helps connect a vast array of individual networks.<br> There are about 70,000 distinct networks on the Internet today, ranging from huge broadband providers like AT&T , Comcast and Verizon to many thousands of enterprises that connect to the edge of the Internet for access. Each of these so-called “Autonomous Systems” (ASes) make their own decisions about how and with whom they will connect to the larger Internet.<br> Regardless of how they get online, each AS uses the same language to specify which Internet IP address ranges they control: It’s called the Border Gateway Protocol , or BGP. Using BGP, an AS tells its directly connected neighbor AS(es) the addresses that it can reach. That neighbor in turn passes the information on to its neighbors, and so on, until the information has propagated everywhere [1].<br> A key function of the BGP data maintained by IRRs is preventing rogue network operators from claiming another network’s addresses and hijacking their traffic. In essence, an organization can use IRRs to declare to the rest of the Internet, “These specific Internet address ranges are ours, should only originate from our network, and you should ignore any other networks trying to lay claim to these address ranges.”<br> In the early days of the Internet, when organizations wanted to update their records with an IRR, the changes usually involved some amount of human interaction — often someone manually editing the new coordinates into an Internet backbone router. But over the years the various IRRs made it easier to automate this process via email.<br> For a long time, any changes to an organization’s routing information with an IRR could be processed via email as long as one of the following authentication methods was successfully used:<br> -CRYPT-PW: A password is added to the text of an email to the IRR containing the record they wish to add, change or delete (the IRR then compares that password to a hash of the password);<br> -PGPKEY: The requestor signs the email containing the update with an encryption key the IRR recognizes;<br> -MAIL-FROM: The requestor sends the record changes in an email to the IRR, and the authentication is based solely on the “From:” header of the email.<br> Of these, MAIL-FROM has long been considered insecure, for the simple reason that it’s not difficult to spoof the return address of an email. And virtually all IRRs have disallowed its use since at least 2012, said Adam Korab , a network engineer and security researcher based in Houston.<br> All except Level3 , a major Internet backbone provider acquired by Lumen/CenturyLink.<br> “LEVEL3 is the last IRR operator which allows the use of this method, although they have discouraged its use since at least 2012,” Korab told KrebsOnSecurity. “Other IRR operators have fully deprecated MAIL-FROM.”<br> Importantly, the name and email address of each Autonomous System’s official contact for making updates with the IRRs is public information.<br> Korab filed a vulnerability report with Lumen demonstrating how a simple spoofed email could be used to disrupt Internet service for banks, telecommunications firms and even government entities.<br> “If such an attack were successful, it would result in customer IP address blocks being filtered and dropped, making them unreachable from some or all of the global Internet,” Korab said , noting that he found more than 2,000 Lumen customers were potentially affected. “This would effectively cut off Internet access for the impacted IP address blocks.”<br> The recent outage that took Facebook , Instagram and WhatsApp offline for the better part of a day was caused by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/10/what-happened-to-facebook-instagram-whatsapp/">an erroneous BGP update submitted by Facebook</a> . That update took away the map telling the world’s computers how to find its various online properties.<br> Now consider the mayhem that would ensue if someone spoofed IRR updates to remove or alter routing entries for multiple e-commerce providers, banks and telecommunications companies at the same time.<br> “Depending on the scope of an attack, this could impact individual customers, geographic market areas, or potentially the [Lumen] backbone,” Korab continued. “This attack is trivial to exploit, and has a difficult recovery. Our conjecture is that any impacted Lumen or customer IP address blocks would be offline for 24-48 hours. In the worst-case scenario, this could extend much longer.”<br> Lumen told KrebsOnSecurity that it continued offering MAIL-FROM: authentication because many of its customers still relied on it due to legacy systems. Nevertheless, after receiving Korab’s report the company decided the wisest course of action was to disable MAIL-FROM: authentication altogether.<br> “We recently received notice of a known insecure configuration with our Route Registry,” reads a statement Lumen shared with KrebsOnSecurity. “We already had mitigating controls in place and to date we have not identified any additional issues. As part of our normal cybersecurity protocol, we carefully considered this notice and took steps to further mitigate any potential risks the vulnerability may have created for our customers or systems.”<br> Level3, now part of Lumen, has long urged customers to avoid using “Mail From” for authentication, but until very recently they still allowed it.<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/11/the-internet-is-held-together-with-spit-baling-wire/">The Internet is Held Together With Spit & Baling Wire</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/con/degeneration/mongering/20211126-200504/ Fri, 26 Nov 2021 20:05:03 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/con/degeneration/mongering/20211126-200504/ 5th to 9th April 2022<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/buckeroo/doubling/20211126-162227/ Fri, 26 Nov 2021 16:22:26 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/buckeroo/doubling/20211126-162227/ November 26, 2021 <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://drewdevault.com/2021/11/26/postmarketos.html">postmarketOS revolutionizes smartphone hacking</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/rubicundity/envenomation/20211126-160827/ Fri, 26 Nov 2021 16:08:27 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/rubicundity/envenomation/20211126-160827/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.deprocrastination.co/black-friday">Black Friday is here!

This week, authorities in Nigeria arrested a suspect in connection with the scheme — a young man who said he was trying to save up money to help fund a new social network.<br> The brazen approach targeting disgruntled employees was first spotted by threat intelligence firm Abnormal Security , which <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://abnormalsecurity.com/blog/nigerian-ransomware-soliciting-employees-demonware/">described</a> what happened after they adopted a fake persona and responded to the proposal in the screenshot above.<br> “According to this actor, he had originally intended to send his targets—all senior-level executives—phishing emails to compromise their accounts, but after that was unsuccessful, he pivoted to this ransomware pretext,” Abnormal’s Crane Hassold wrote.<br> Abnormal Security documented how it tied the email back to a Nigerian man who acknowledged he was trying to save up money to help fund a new social network he is building called Sociogram . In June 2021, the Nigerian government officially <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/06/04/nigeria-suspends-twitter-buhari/">placed an indefinite ban on Twitter</a> , restricting it from operating in Nigeria after the social media platform deleted tweets by the Nigerian president.<br> After he deleted his LinkedIn profile, I received the following message through the “contact this domain holder” link at KrebsOnSecurity’s domain registrar [curiously, the date of that missive reads “Dec. 31, 1969.”]. Apparently, Mr. Krebson is a clout-chasing monger.<br> A love letter from the founder of the ill-fated Sociogram.<br> Mr. Krebson also heard from an investigator representing the Nigeria Finance CERT on behalf of the Central Bank Of Nigeria. While the Sociogram founder’s approach might seem amateurish to some, the financial community in Nigeria did not consider it a laughing matter.<br> On Friday, police in Lagos arrested Medayedupin. The investigator says formal charges will be levied against the defendant sometime this week.<br> The petition for arrest.<br> Medayedupin being booked.<br> Seized laptop.<br> KrebsOnSecurity spoke with a fraud investigator who is performing the forensic analysis of the devices seized from Medayedupin’s home. The investigator spoke on condition of anonymity out of concern for his physical safety.<br> The investigator — we’ll call him “George” — said the 23-year-old Medayedupin lives with his extended family in an extremely impoverished home, and that the young man told investigators he’d just graduated from college but turned to cybercrime at first with ambitions of merely scamming the scammers.<br> George’s team confirmed that Medayedupin had around USD $2,000 to his name, which he’d recently stolen from a group of Nigerian fraudsters who were scamming people for gift cards. Apparently, he admitted to creating a phishing website that tricked a member of this group into providing access to the money they’d made from their scams.<br> Medayedupin reportedly told investigators that for almost a week after he started emailing his ransom-your-employer scheme, nobody took him up on the offer. But after his name appeared in the news media, he received thousands of inquiries from people interested in his idea . <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/11/arrest-in-ransom-your-employer-email-scheme/#more-57657">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/11/arrest-in-ransom-your-employer-email-scheme/">Arrest in ‘Ransom Your Employer’ Email Scheme</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20211123-000645/ Tue, 23 Nov 2021 00:06:44 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20211123-000645/ <ol> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.kraken.com/post/11905/your-fingerprint-can-be-hacked-for-5-heres-how/">Fingerprints can be hacked</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=kraken.com">kraken.com</a> )<br></li> </ol> https://www.whatsupup.com/events/circumcision/lammed/20211123-000323/ Tue, 23 Nov 2021 00:03:22 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/events/circumcision/lammed/20211123-000323/ And that's a wrap!

It was the flexibility, how easy it was to use, and the really cool concept behind Go (how Go handles native concurrency, garbage collection, and of course safety+speed.) that helped engage us during the build. Also, who can beat that cute mascot!”<br> — Jaime Enrique Garcia Lopez, Senior Software Development Manager at Capital One<br> " A small language that compiles fast makes for a happy developer. The Go language is small, compiles really fast, and as a result it lets your mind focus on the actual problem and less on the tool you are using to solve it. Code, test, debug cycles are so quick that you forget you are not working with an interpreted language. Looking at our code, you see less boilerplate and more business logic. "<br> — Clayton Coleman, Lead Engineer, Open Shift at RedHat<br> “ Go has excellent characteristics for scalability and services written using it typically have very small memory footprints. Because code is compiled into a single static binary, services can also be containerised with ease, making it much simpler to build and deploy. These attributes make Go an ideal choice for companies building microservices , as you can easily deploy into a highly available and scalable environment such as Kubernetes.”<br> — Matt Boyle, Lead Software Engineer at Curve<br> "In our tightly managed environments where we run Go code, we have seen a CPU reduction of approximately 10% with cleaner and maintainable code."<br> — Bala Natarajan, Sr. Director of Engineering, Developer Experience at PayPal<br> "Tooling has always been a problem with our legacy code base… but we have found that Go has excellent tooling, plus built-in testing, benchmarking, and profiling frameworks.

Naturally, a great deal of phishing schemes that precede these bank account takeovers begin with a spoofed text message from the target’s bank warning about a suspicious Zelle transfer. What follows is a deep dive into how this increasingly clever Zelle fraud scam typically works, and what victims can do about it.<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/11/sms-about-bank-fraud-as-a-pretext-for-voice-phishing/">Last week’s story</a> warned that scammers are blasting out text messages about suspicious bank transfers as a pretext for immediately calling and scamming anyone who responds via text. Here’s what one of those scam messages looks like:<br> Anyone who responds “yes,” “no” or at all will very soon after receive a phone call from a scammer pretending to be from the financial institution’s fraud department. The caller’s number will be spoofed so that it appears to be coming from the victim’s bank.<br> To “verify the identity” of the customer, the fraudster asks for their online banking username, and then tells the customer to read back a passcode sent via text or email. In reality, the fraudster initiates a transaction — such as the “forgot password” feature on the financial institution’s site — which is what generates the 2-step authentication passcode delivered to the member.<br> Ken Otsuka is a senior risk consultant at CUNA Mutual Group , an insurance company that provides financial services to credit unions. Otsuka said a phone fraudster typically will say something like, “Before I get into the details, I need to verify that I’m speaking to the right person. What’s your username?”<br> “In the background, they’re using the username with the forgot password feature, and that’s going to generate one of these two-factor authentication passcodes,” Otsuka said. “Then the fraudster will say, ‘I’m going to send you the password and you’re going to read it back to me over the phone.'”<br> The fraudster then uses the code to complete the password reset process, and then changes the victim’s online banking password. The fraudster then uses Zelle to transfer the victim’s funds to others.<br> An important aspect of this scam is that the fraudsters never even need to know or phish the victim’s password . By sharing their username and reading back the one-time code sent to them via email, the victim is allowing the fraudster to reset their online banking password.<br> Otsuka said in far too many account takeover cases, the victim has never even heard of Zelle, nor did they realize they could move money that way.<br> “The thing is, many credit unions offer it by default as part of online banking,” Otsuka said. “Members don’t have to request to use Zelle. It’s just there, and with a lot of members targeted in these scams, although they’d legitimately enrolled in online banking, they’d never used Zelle before.” [Curious if your financial institution uses Zelle? Check out their partner list <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.zellepay.com/get-started">here</a> ].<br> Otsuka said credit unions offering other peer-to-peer banking products have also been targeted, but that fraudsters prefer to target Zelle due to the speed of the payments.<br> “The fraud losses can escalate quickly due to the sheer number of members that can be targeted on a single day over the course of consecutive days,” Otsuka said.<br> To combat this scam Zelle introduced out-of-band authentication with transaction details. This involves sending the member a text containing the details of a Zelle transfer – payee and dollar amount – that is initiated by the member. The member must authorize the transfer by replying to the text.<br> Unfortunately, Otsuka said, the scammers are defeating this layered security control as well. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/11/the-zelle-fraud-scam-how-it-works-how-to-fight-back/#more-57594">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/11/the-zelle-fraud-scam-how-it-works-how-to-fight-back/">The ‘Zelle Fraud’ Scam: How it Works, How to Fight Back</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20211120-000622/ Sat, 20 Nov 2021 00:06:21 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20211120-000622/ <ol> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.ponymessenger.com">Show HN: Pony – a messenger for mindful correspondence</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=ponymessenger.com">ponymessenger.com</a> )<br> 516 points by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=dmitryminkovsky">dmitryminkovsky</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29278180">8 hours ago</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29278180">180 comments</a><br></li> </ol> https://www.whatsupup.com/con/ozonizing/briton/20211120-000522/ Sat, 20 Nov 2021 00:05:22 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/con/ozonizing/briton/20211120-000522/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://forum.defcon.org/node/240211">DEF CON 30 Art Contest is LIVE!

Today, I want to demonstrate a faster implementation. (It’s almost certainly possible to make it faster still; I welcome suggestions!)<br> Once again, the idea is to replace the<br> s from last time with mutable arrays , but in such a way that we get to keep the same pure API—almost. In order to allow arbitrary vertex types, while storing the vertices efficiently in a mutable array, we will require one extra argument to our<br> function, namely, an <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://byorgey.wordpress.com/2021/11/15/competitive-programming-in-haskell-enumeration/">Enumeration</a> specifying a way to map back and forth between vertices and array indices.<br> So why not instead just restrict vertices to some type that can be used as keys of a mutable array? That would work, but would unnecessarily restrict the API. For example, it is very common to see competitive programming problems that are “just” a standard graph algorithm, but on a non-obvious graph where the vertices are conceptually some more complex algebraic type, or on a graph where the vertices are specified as strings. Typically, competitive programmers just implement a mapping between vertices to integers on the fly—using either some math or some lookup data structures on the side—but wouldn’t it be nicer to be able to compositionally construct such a mapping and then have the graph search algorithm automatically handle the conversion back and forth? This is exactly what the<br> abstraction gives us.<br> This post is literate Haskell; you can <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://hub.darcs.net/byorgey/byorgey-wordpress/browse/2019-04-comprog-hs/24-BFS-impl-STUArray.lhs">obtain the source from the darcs repo</a> .

It presents the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://byorgey.wordpress.com/2021/10/14/competitive-programming-in-haskell-bfs-part-1/">same API as before</a> , with the exception that it requires an extra<br> Enumeration v<br> argument, and uses it to convert vertices to integers for the inner<br> call, and then back to vertices for the final result. It also handles freezing the mutable arrays returned from<br> and constructing level and parent lookup functions that index into them. Note, the use of<br> unsafeFreeze<br> seems unavoidable, since<br> runSTUArray<br> only allows us to work with a single mutable array; in any case, it is safe for the same reason the use of<br> in the implementation of<br> itself is safe: we can see from the type of<br> toResult<br> that the<br> parameter cannot escape, so the type system will not allow any further mutation to the arrays after it completes.<br> bfs :: forall v .

That’s annoying—why is that?<br> Can we make this even faster? My solution to Modulo Solitaire runs in 0.57s. There are faster Haskell solutions (for example, <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://anurudhp.github.io/blogs/tags/competitive-programming">Anurudh Peduri</a> has a solution that runs in 0.32s), and there are Java solutions as fast as 0.18s, so it seems to me there ought to be ways to make it much faster. If you have an idea for optimizing this code I’d be very interested to hear it!

I’ve also reviewed resumes from strangers, like on Twitter, <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/jakevoytko/status/1421953039045480459">where I offered to do resume reviews</a> . I’ve been told that my reviews are helpful, so I’m documenting my approach, which focuses on whether the resume is a good fit for the job that the candidate wants.<br> Software engineers can have their resume reviewed for free in a number of ways, such as by consulting Reddit, Discord and other forums, or by asking friends. From my observation, most online reviewers begin with the assumption that the candidate has provided all the necessary information. They then suggest tactics for strengthening that information. For example, they help candidates to rewrite each bullet point to fit frameworks like “Situation, Task, Action, Outcome.” They fix formatting, suggest rewrites, and highlight formatting inconsistencies. They’re really good at focusing on the tactics of writing a resume.<br> Tactics are fine. Everything I mentioned in the previous paragraph is important. But tactics are best supplemented with a good strategy. How do you know that your resume has the right information? You could describe work experience in an infinite number of ways. Demonstrate how your existing work experience makes you a good candidate for the job that you want.<br> Many reviewers ask, “How can you present this information in the best way possible?” I also ask, “How do you know that you included the right information?”<br> That might sound obvious, but it’s difficult to apply in practice. I know this from my own experience. When I review resumes, I ask candidates for the resume and job postings that interest them. In a vast majority of reviews, I demonstrate how candidates can include extra experience to more effectively show that they meet the criteria mentioned in the job description.<br> Part of a “please tear my resume to shreds” review that I did for a friend<br> Resumes suck, but most jobs require one. Maximize the impact of your resume. Incorporate information from job postings, job descriptions, and any other relevant information, and use it all to produce a targeted resume.<br> A quick note: this is written for software engineers with previous work experience who want a new job in the field. If that doesn’t describe you, you might still find this useful but you should think about what’s different for your situation.<br> Here’s how I’d write my own resume if I had to write one today<br> The TL;DR of my strategy is to iterate from a generic resume to a specific one. Start with a baseline resume that reflects your experience to the best of your ability but is not tailored to a specific job. Then, find information about the jobs that you want. Take notes from the job postings. Rewrite your resume using the information in those notes.<br> And now, in more detail:<br> Step 1: Write a resume the way you normally would<br> Create a resume however you want. Modify an old resume or create a new one. I don’t care which. Don’t overthink it.<br> Personally, I modify my old resumes. They’re always written in LaTeX because when I was in college, I hoped that I would get street cred by ignoring decades of word processor innovations. I don’t know if this worked, but I’m too lazy to change my approach at this point. If I had to make a resume today, I’d dust off this file and modify it to reflect my most recent experience and remove irrelevant information. Then I’d relearn how to run LaTeX in The Year of Our Lord 2021.<br> Anyways, include all of the usual sections in your resume: name, contact information, experience, any relevant schooling, maybe relevant/interesting projects, maybe publication experience if you’re a researcher, maybe other things like security clearance if you have it and it’s relevant.<br> Your resume should resemble other resumes in your field. If resumes in your field tend to be compact, then your resume should be compact.<br> Spell check and proofread it. Be prepared to have a conversation about every fact on your resume. Just like you shouldn’t build a house on an unstable foundation, you shouldn’t mention something on your resume if you can’t back it up.<br> Step 2: Collect three or four relevant job postings that intrigue you<br> Find job postings that appeal to you. If you want to work for a specific company, find the available listings in the “Jobs” or “Careers” section of its website. Otherwise, look for companies offering the role you want.<br> It’s OK if you don’t know what job you want yet. Look for listings that appeal to you. Spend some time researching different companies and fields until you have identified a few job postings that stand out to you.<br> It’s important to collect more than one job posting. If you’re starting with a job posting from a specific company that you’re interested in working for, supplement it with similar postings from that company, or other postings from similar companies. Why? You don’t want to assume that any single job posting is complete. You will be mining these postings for data, and a single posting might omit something relevant to the job. But the more postings that you examine, the less likely that an important qualification will go unmentioned in any of them.<br> Step 3: Create a spreadsheet and aggregate data from the job postings<br> Make a table in a spreadsheet with 3-5 columns. The columns should represent different, and mostly non-overlapping, competency areas. Then, read through the job postings sentence-by-sentence, and add information from the job postings to these columns.<br> I typically create categories like these:<br> TECHNICAL SKILLS: Any hard skills that are explicitly named. Programming languages, operating systems, third-party libraries, applications, etc. “Experience with Python in Unix operating systems a plus” or keyword soup kind of things.<br> DELIVERY: Anything related to execution. The types of projects that you’ve designed, implemented, or delivered. Whether you’re going to be on a pager rotation. The size and scope of the tasks that you’re expected to complete. The types of financial, product, or technical outcomes that you’re expected to achieve (or have already achieved).<br> LEADERSHIP: This can take a lot of different forms. Information in this category might call out specific leadership roles, like tech lead, project lead, or management. They may want you to be proactive about suggesting product or process improvements. They may want you to mentor more junior engineers. If you haven’t been in the industry for long, it’s okay to skip this category, or merge it with COMMUNICATION.<br> COMMUNICATION: Anything related to interacting with other people. There are a wide range of skills that could fit here. It could be project management practices, how you work day-to-day with teams, expected response times for answering support tickets, ability to be a point-person for your team or for external stakeholders.<br> Tailor these categories to your specific field. If you are applying for research jobs, then you’ll probably have a RESEARCH category. The category names don’t matter too much. You only need a few that capture different concepts.<br> Now that you’ve made the categories, the actual work begins. Read through every sentence of each job posting and incorporate each piece of information from the sentence into at least one of the categories. If you encounter a line like “Experience with Go a plus,” then put “Go” under TECHNICAL SKILLS. You don’t need to record duplicate information. If two job postings mention Go, put it once. If two job postings mention working as a tech lead, put it once. Make sure that the information in each sentence is captured in your spreadsheet.<br> This can be time-consuming. It takes a while to process all of the sentences in the job postings. Thankfully, processing each subsequent posting will take less time once the first posting is finished. Job postings will have duplicate information. You only need to record the differences.<br> If something doesn’t fit into one of the categories, try to include it somewhere, even if you need a MISCELLANEOUS category. You don’t want blind spots in your resume. For example, senior+ engineers often overemphasize their technical skills and project experience, and underemphasize their soft skills.<br> Step 4: Modify your resume to address as many of the relevant competencies as possible<br> Look at each item that you recorded in the previous step. Look through your resume and ask yourself, “Does my resume address this? If not, can I add a new bullet point, or can I add relevant information to an existing bullet point?”<br> At this point, your resume might get longer as you add information to address criteria from the previous step. If this makes your resume longer, then rewrite the bullet points for brevity. Avoid making your resume significantly longer than when you started.<br> It’s okay if you don’t address every item in the categories that you produced. Again, you should feel confident in every item on your resume. Don’t add something if you can’t talk about it for 10 minutes in an interview. If a job asks for PHP experience and you’ve only written 50 lines of PHP in your life, leave it off your resume.<br> Step 5: Make the hiring manager want to hire you<br> People will look at each line of your resume and say, “So what?” To counter this, make sure that you explain the impact of your experience.<br> Think about the people making the hiring decision. This will differ per company. At a megacorp, the people hiring you might be a collective of managers or senior (or above) engineers. If you’re applying to work for medium-sized companies, the hiring manager will probably be in your management chain; either your manager or a boss of theirs. At a small startup, the founders might hire you themselves.<br> Make people want to work with you. The people at the megacorp want to prove that they consistently hire high performers. Your manager wants to know that you can function effectively in a team environment. A startup founder wants to know that you can … https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/fisher/trilobate/20211118-040727/ Thu, 18 Nov 2021 04:07:27 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/fisher/trilobate/20211118-040727/ <p><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/AveYo/MediaCreationTool.bat">AveYo / MediaCreationTool.bat</a><br></p> <hr> Universal MCT wrapper script for all Windows 10/11 versions from 1507 to 21H2!<br> Batchfile <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/AveYo/MediaCreationTool.bat/stargazers">1,751</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/AveYo/MediaCreationTool.bat/network/members.MediaCreationTool.bat">574</a> Built by<br> 《动手学深度学习》：面向中文读者、能运行、可讨论。中英文版被全球300所大学用于教学。<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/adiwajshing/Baileys">adiwajshing / Baileys</a><br> <hr> Lightweight full-featured typescript/javascript WhatsApp Web API<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/ideo/fleury/20211118-040713/ Thu, 18 Nov 2021 04:07:12 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/blog/ideo/fleury/20211118-040713/ The CEO of a South Carolina technology firm has pleaded guilty to 20 counts of wire fraud in connection with an elaborate network of phony companies set up to obtain more than 735,000 Internet Protocol (IP) addresses from the nonprofit organization that leases the digital real estate to entities in North America.<br> In 2018, the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN), which oversees IP addresses assigned to entities in the U.S., Canada, and parts of the Caribbean, notified Charleston, S.C. based Micfo LLC that it intended to revoke 735,000 addresses.<br> ARIN said they wanted the addresses back because the company and its owner — 38-year-old Amir Golestan — had obtained them under false pretenses. A global <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4_address_exhaustion">shortage of IPv4 addresses</a> has massively driven up the price of these resources over the years: At the time of this dispute, a single IP address could fetch between $15 and $25 on the open market.<br> Micfo responded by suing ARIN to try to stop the IP address seizure. Ultimately, ARIN and Micfo settled the dispute in arbitration, with Micfo returning most of the addresses that it hadn’t already sold.<br> But the legal tussle caught the attention of South Carolina U.S. Attorney Sherri Lydon , who in May 2019 <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2019/05/a-tough-week-for-ip-address-scammers/">filed criminal wire fraud charges against Golestan</a> , alleging he’d orchestrated a network of shell companies and fake identities to prevent ARIN from knowing the addresses were all going to the same buyer.<br> Each of those shell companies involved the production of notarized affidavits in the names of people who didn’t exist. As a result, Lydon was able to charge Golestan with 20 counts of wire fraud — one for each payment made by the phony companies that bought the IP addresses from ARIN.<br> Amir Golestan, CEO of Micfo.<br> On Nov. 16, just two days into his trial, Golestan changed his “not guilty” plea, agreeing to plead guilty to all 20 wire fraud charges. KrebsOnSecurity interviewed Golestan about his case at length last year, but he has not responded to requests for comment on his plea change.<br> By 2013, a number of Micfo’s customers had landed on the radar of Spamhaus , a group that many network operators rely upon to help block junk email. But shortly after Spamhaus began blocking Micfo’s IP address ranges, Micfo shifted gears and began reselling IP addresses mainly to companies marketing “virtual private networking” or VPN services that help customers hide their real IP addresses online.<br> But in a 2020 interview, Golestan told KrebsOnSecurity that Micfo was at one point responsible for brokering roughly 40 percent of the IP addresses used by the world’s largest VPN providers. Throughout that conversation, Golestan maintained his innocence, even as he explained that the creation of the phony companies was necessary to prevent entities like Spamhaus from interfering with his business going forward.<br> Stephen Ryan , an attorney representing ARIN, said Golestan changed his plea after the court heard from a former Micfo employee and public notary who described being instructed by Golestan to knowingly certify false documents.<br> “Her testimony made him appear bullying and unsavory,” Ryan said. “Because it turned out he had also sued her to try to prevent her from disclosing the actions he’d directed.”<br> Golestan’s <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/golestanplea.pdf">rather sparse plea agreement</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/executive-pleads-guilty-in-internet-address-fraud-case-11637101781">first reported by The Wall Street Journal</a> ) does not specify any sort of leniency he might gain from prosecutors for agreeing to end the trial prematurely. But it’s worth noting that a conviction on a single act of wire fraud can result in fines and up to 20 years in prison. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/11/tech-ceo-pleads-to-wire-fraud-in-ip-address-scheme/#more-57598">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/11/tech-ceo-pleads-to-wire-fraud-in-ip-address-scheme/">Tech CEO Pleads to Wire Fraud in IP Address Scheme</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/tussled/saved/20211118-040652/ Thu, 18 Nov 2021 04:06:50 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/tussled/saved/20211118-040652/ <p><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/sidorares">sidorares</a><br></p> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/sidorares/node-mysql2">node-mysql2</a><br> <hr> fast mysqljs/mysql compatible mysql driver for node.js<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/RangiLyu">RangiLyu</a><br> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/RangiLyu/nanodet">nanodet</a><br> <hr> Super fast and lightweight anchor-free object detection model.

It’s a theme meant to celebrate our community’s much awaited reunion next August. It’s also meant to reference the 30th Anniversary we’re celebrating, which is a pretty big deal for a hacker conference. So if you’ve got some art skills, you’ve got a luxurious 7+ months to get your take on the theme in to us. There’s so much time between now and the June 1 deadline that you could probably learn a brand new art style in which to make your submission. You can drop as many submissions to pictures@defcon.org as you want, so enter early and often. ### Theme: We are looking for artwork that reflects a spirit of community and reunion. We’re looking for art that combines the 90’s hacker aesthetic of DEF CON’s history and our tribe’s 21st century future. We’re looking for your vision and vibes. We hope you’ll take in the information in <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://defcon.org/images/defcon-30/30theme.webp">the style guide</a> , but we hope that you’ll use that as a launching pad and not a set of limits. We want to see where you can take these ideas. ### Guidelines: 300 DPI. Convert type to outlines where applicable. Trust your instincts - we’re looking for genuine energy, not technical perfection. We want to share and amplify the artists in our community. If tlhat’s you, get your ideas down. If that’s not you yet, could it be? You’ve got a few months to find out. Entries will be placed on the DEF CON Forums for voting, and there will be prizes. There will also be gratitude, and opportunities to inspire others with your special way of seeing the world. We can’t wait to see what you’ll make!<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://forum.defcon.org/node/240211">DEF CON 30 Art Contest is LIVE!</a> 6.1.22 (All Day)<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/con/recoin/forthwith/20211118-040325/ Thu, 18 Nov 2021 04:03:25 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/con/recoin/forthwith/20211118-040325/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.meetup.com/github/events/282119845/">Open Source Friday: Collaborative Open Source Contributions with the OSRG</a><br></p> <hr> Join @bdougieYO and @JacobMGEvans as they discuss the keys to collaborative open source contributions.<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/events/roaching/pennsylvania/20211118-040251/ Thu, 18 Nov 2021 04:02:51 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/events/roaching/pennsylvania/20211118-040251/ UPDATE<br> In-person re:Invent 2021 is sold out<br> Tickets for in-person re:Invent 2021 are now sold out.

In <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://byorgey.wordpress.com/2021/10/29/competitive-programming-in-haskell-bfs-part-3-implementation-via-hashmap/">my last post</a> , we saw one implementation, but I claimed that it is not fast enough to solve <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://open.kattis.com/problems/modulosolitaire">Modulo Solitaire</a> , and I promised to show off a faster implementation in this post, but I lied; we have to take a small detour first.<br> The main idea to make a faster BFS implementation is to replace the<br> s from last time with mutable arrays , but hopefully in such a way that we get to keep the same pure API. Using mutable arrays introduces a few wrinkles, though.<br> The API we have says we get to use any type<br> for our vertices, as long as it is an instance of<br> . However, this is not going to work so well for mutable arrays. We still want the external API to allow us to use any type for our vertices, but we will need a way to convert vertices to and from<br> values we can use to index the internal mutable array.<br> A data structre like<br> is dynamically sized, but we don’t have this luxury with arrays. We will have to know the size of the array up front.<br> In other words, we need to provide a way to bijectively map vertices to a finite prefix of the natural numbers; that is, we need what I call invertible enumerations . This idea has come up for me multiple times: in 2016, I <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://byorgey.wordpress.com/2016/10/25/adventures-in-enumerating-balanced-brackets/">wrote about using such an abstraction to solve another competitive programming problem</a> , and in 2019 I <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://byorgey.wordpress.com/2019/07/05/lightweight-invertible-enumerations-in-haskell/">published a library for working with invertible enumerations</a> . I’ve now put together a lightweight version of that library for use in competitive programming. I’ll walk through the code below, and you can also <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/byorgey/comprog-hs/blob/master/Enumeration.hs">find the source code in my comprog-hs repository</a> .<br> First, some extensions and imports.<br> {-# LANGUAGE ScopedTypeVariables #-} {-# LANGUAGE TypeApplications #-} module Enumeration where import qualified Data.List as L import Data.Hashable import qualified Data.Array as A import qualified Data.HashMap.Strict as HM<br> An<br> Enumeration a<br> consists of a cardinality, and two functions,<br> select<br> locate<br> , which together form a bijection between (some subset of) values of type<br> and a finite prefix of the natural numbers.

( + lo ) , locate = subtract lo . fromEnum } where lo , hi :: Int lo = fromIntegral ( fromEnum ( minBound @ a ) ) hi = fromIntegral ( fromEnum ( maxBound @ a ) )<br> We can also build an enumeration from an explicit list. We want to make sure this is efficient, since it is easy to imagine using this e.g. on a very large list of vertex values given as part of the input of a problem. So we build an array and a hashmap to allow fast lookups in both directions.<br> listE :: forall a . ( Hashable a , Eq a ) => [ a ] -> Enumeration a listE as = Enumeration n ( toA A .! ) ( fromA HM .! ) where n = length as toA :: A.Array Int a toA = A.listArray ( 0 , n - 1 ) as fromA :: HM.HashMap a Int fromA = HM.fromList ( zip as [ 0 :: Int .. ] )<br> Finally, we have a couple ways to combine enumerations into more complex ones, via sum and product.<br> ( >+< ) :: Enumeration a -> Enumeration b -> Enumeration ( Either a b ) a >+< b = Enumeration { card = card a + card b , select = \ k -> if k < card a then Left ( select a k ) else Right ( select b ( k - card a ) ) , locate = either ( locate a ) ( ( + card a ) . locate b ) } ( >*< ) :: Enumeration a -> Enumeration b -> Enumeration ( a , b ) a >*< b = Enumeration { card = card a * card b , select = \ k -> let ( i , j ) = k `divMod` card b in ( select a i , select b j ) , locate = \ ( x , y ) -> card b * locate a x + locate b y }<br> There are a few more combinators <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/byorgey/comprog-hs/blob/master/Enumeration.hs">in the source code</a> but I don’t know whether I’ll ever use them. You can read about them if you want. For now, let’s try using this to solve a problem!<br> …ah, who am I kidding, I can’t find any problems that can be directly solved using this framework. Invertibility is a double-edged sword—we absolutely need it for creating an efficient BFS with arbitrary vertices, and the combinators will come in quite handy if we want to use some complex type for vertices. However, requiring invertibility also limits the expressiveness of the library. For example, there is no<br> Monad<br> instance.

According to an interview with the person who claimed responsibility for the hoax, the spam messages were sent by abusing insecure code in an FBI online portal designed to share information with state and local law enforcement authorities.<br> The phony message sent late Thursday evening via the FBI’s email system. Image: Spamhaus.org<br> Late in the evening of Nov. 12 ET, tens of thousands of emails <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/spamhaus/status/1459450061696417792">began flooding out</a> from the FBI address <a href="mailto:eims@ic.fbi.gov">eims@ic.fbi.gov</a> , warning about fake cyberattacks. Around that time, KrebsOnSecurity received an email from the same email address.<br> “Hi its <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://mobile.twitter.com/pompompur_in">pompompurin</a> ,” read the message. “Check headers of this email it’s actually coming from FBI server. I am contacting you today because we located a botnet being hosted on your forehead, please take immediate action thanks.”<br> A review of the email’s message headers indicated it had indeed been sent by the FBI, and from the agency’s own Internet address. The domain in the “from:” portion of the email I received — <a href="mailto:eims@ic.fbi.gov">eims@ic.fbi.gov</a> — corresponds to the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services division (CJIS).<br> According to the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.justice.gov/tribal/national-crime-information-systems">Department of Justice</a> , “CJIS manages and operates several national crime information systems used by the public safety community for both criminal and civil purposes. CJIS systems are available to the criminal justice community, including law enforcement, jails, prosecutors, courts, as well as probation and pretrial services.”<br> In response to a request for comment, the FBI confirmed the unauthorized messages, but declined to offer further information.<br> “The FBI and CISA [the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.cisa.gov/">Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency</a> ] are aware of the incident this morning involving fake emails from an @ic.fbi.gov email account,” reads the FBI statement. “This is an ongoing situation and we are not able to provide any additional information at this time. The impacted hardware was taken offline quickly upon discovery of the issue. We continue to encourage the public to be cautious of unknown senders and urge you to report suspicious activity to <a href="http://www.ic3.gov">www.ic3.gov</a> or <a href="http://www.cisa.gov">www.cisa.gov</a>.”<br> In an interview with KrebsOnSecurity, Pompompurin said the hack was done to point out a glaring vulnerability in the FBI’s system.<br> “I could’ve 1000% used this to send more legit looking emails, trick companies into handing over data etc.,” Pompompurin said. “And this would’ve never been found by anyone who would responsibly disclose, due to the notice the feds have on their website.”<br> Pompompurin says the illicit access to the FBI’s email system began with an exploration of its Law Enforcement Enterprise Portal (LEEP), which the bureau describes as “a gateway providing law enforcement agencies, intelligence groups, and criminal justice entities access to beneficial resources.”<br> The FBI’s Law Enforcement Enterprise Portal (LEEP).<br> “These resources will strengthen case development for investigators, enhance information sharing between agencies, and be accessible in one centralized location!,” the FBI’s site enthuses.<br> Until sometime this morning, the LEEP portal allowed anyone to apply for an account. Helpfully, step-by-step instructions for registering a new account on the LEEP portal also <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.justice.gov/tribal/page/file/1260671/download">are available from the DOJ’s website</a> . [It should be noted that “Step 1” in those instructions is to visit the site in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, an outdated web browser that even Microsoft no longer encourages people to use for security reasons.]<br> Much of that process involves filling out forms with the applicant’s personal and contact information, and that of their organization. A critical step in that process says applicants will receive an email confirmation from <a href="mailto:eims@ic.fbi.gov">eims@ic.fbi.gov</a> with a one-time passcode — ostensibly to validate that the applicant can receive email at the domain in question.<br> But according to Pompompurin, the FBI’s own website leaked that one-time passcode in the HTML code of the web page.<br> A screenshot shared by Pompompurin.

A global pandemic turned DEF CON 28 into DEF CON Safe Mode. Some easing of the restrictions and some strict attendance rules gave us a hybrid con for DC29. An improvement, to be sure, but something short of a full DEF CON experience. We want DEF CON 30 to have the energy of a reunion. We’ll be back togeher in a brand spanking new venue. We’ll be thirty years old - an amazing milestone for a hacker conference under any circumstances. In honor of all that, we’re calling DEF CON 30 ‘Hacker Homecoming’. The first reason is that it’s literally a return home. After two years of separation, we’re looking forward to having more of our family under one roof, under the Vegas late summer sun. There’s also a North American tradition called ‘Homecoming’. Secondary schools and colleges invite luminary alums back for a big celebration of the school’s history and a toast to its future. We intend to do just that for DC30. We’ll have some surprise guests from DEF CON’s illustrious past on hand to talk about the amazing places their life has taken them since joining the DC Community. We’ll also be laying out some of the map forward from our 30th Anniversary. So please join us in the Caesar’s Forums if you can, and on the Discord if you can’t. Maybe even pack a fancy outfit for the homecoming dance. It’s high time for a reunion.<br> Design Inspiration<br> This year’s theme is about celebrating the past and getting geeked about the future, so we’re looking for smooth integration of old school hacker stylee with future vibes. We took the color palette inspiration from arguably the most iconic DEF CON image of all time: the rooftop photo from DEF CON 1. The photo is amazing for any number of reasons, but the most important is that even though it screams early 90s hacker culture, it also shows some of the essence of what DEF CON is even in the 2020s. It’s still a gathering of extraordinary digital misfits going Voltron in the Vegas night. The fonts were also selected to be like a homecoming celebration, with some reverence for the past, some excitement about the future. The past is represented by the very 90s CityPop and Geom and the future by the futristic minimalism of Open Sans.<br> Homework<br> As always, we’ll be sharing movies, books, music and other random media to get you in the right frame of mind for maximum DEF CON. This year we’re even giving you an extra few months to get through the syllabus. Watch the DEF CON site for additions to all the lists. Pencils UP!

By feeding unexpected or random data into a program, fuzzing catches bugs that would otherwise slip through the most thorough manual checks and provides coverage that would take staggering human effort to replicate. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.nist.gov/itl/executive-order-improving-nations-cybersecurity/recommended-minimum-standards-vendor-or">NIST’s guidelines for software verification</a> , recently released in response to the White House <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/05/12/executive-order-on-improving-the-nations-cybersecurity/">Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity</a> , specify fuzzing among the minimum standard requirements for code verification. Today, we are excited to announce <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/google/clusterfuzzlite">ClusterFuzzLite</a> , a continuous fuzzing solution that runs as part of CI/CD workflows to find vulnerabilities faster than ever before. With just a few lines of code, GitHub users can integrate ClusterFuzzLite into their workflow and fuzz pull requests to catch bugs before they are committed, enhancing the overall security of the software supply chain. Since its release in 2016, over 500 critical open source projects have integrated into Google’s <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://security.googleblog.com/2016/12/announcing-oss-fuzz-continuous-fuzzing.html">OSS-Fuzz</a> program, resulting in over <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://bugs.chromium.org/p/oss-fuzz/issues/list?q=Type%3DBug-Security%20status%3AVerified&can=1">6,500</a> vulnerabilities and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://bugs.chromium.org/p/oss-fuzz/issues/list?q=Type%3DBug%20status%3AVerified%20-Type%3DBug-Security&can=1">21,000</a> functional bugs being fixed. ClusterFuzzLite goes hand-in-hand with OSS-Fuzz, by catching regression bugs much earlier in the development process. Large projects including <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/systemd/systemd/actions/workflows/cifuzz.yml">systemd</a> and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/curl/curl/actions/workflows/fuzz.yml">curl</a> are already using ClusterFuzzLite during code review, with positive results. According to Daniel Stenberg, author of curl, “When the human reviewers nod and have approved the code and your static code analyzers and linters can't detect any more issues, fuzzing is what takes you to the next level of code maturity and robustness. OSS-Fuzz and ClusterFuzzLite help us maintain curl as a quality project, around the clock, every day and every commit.” With the release of ClusterFuzzLite, any project can integrate this essential testing standard and benefit from fuzzing. ClusterFuzzLite offers many of the same features as <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/google/clusterfuzz">ClusterFuzz</a> , such as continuous fuzzing, sanitizer support, corpus management, and coverage report generation. Most importantly, it’s easy to set up and works with closed source projects, making ClusterFuzzLite a convenient option for any developer who wants to fuzz their software.<br> With ClusterFuzzLite, fuzzing is no longer just an idealized "bonus" round of testing for those who have access to it, but a critical must-have step that everyone can use continuously on every software project. By finding and preventing bugs before they enter the codebase we can build a more secure software ecosystem.<br> To learn more, check out the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://google.github.io/clusterfuzzlite/">ClusterFuzzLite documentation</a> . ClusterFuzzLite currently supports <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://docs.github.com/en/actions">GitHub Actions</a> and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://cloud.google.com/build">Google Cloud Build</a> .

Smishing messages usually include a link to a site that spoofs a popular bank and tries to siphon personal information. But increasingly, phishers are turning to a hybrid form of smishing — blasting out linkless text messages about suspicious bank transfers as a pretext for immediately calling and scamming anyone who responds via text.<br> KrebsOnSecurity recently heard from a reader who said his daughter received an SMS that said it was from her bank, and inquired whether she’d authorized a $5,000 payment from her account. The message said she should reply “Yes” or “No,” or 1 to decline future fraud alerts.<br> Since this seemed like a reasonable and simple request — and she indeed had an account at the bank in question — she responded, “NO.”<br> Seconds later, her mobile phone rang.<br> “When she replied ‘no,’ someone called immediately, and the caller ID said ‘JP Morgan Chase’,” reader Kris Stevens told KrebsOnSecurity. “The person on the phone said they were from the fraud department and they needed to help her secure her account but needed information from her to make sure they were talking to the account owner and not the scammer.”<br> Thankfully, Stevens said his daughter had honored the gold rule regarding incoming phone calls about fraud: <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2020/04/when-in-doubt-hang-up-look-up-call-back/">When In Doubt, Hang up, Look up, and Call Back</a> .<br> “She knows the drill so she hung up and called Chase, who confirmed they had not called her,” he said. “What was different about this was it was all very smooth. No foreign accents, the pairing of the call with the text message, and the fact that she does have a Chase account.”<br> The remarkable aspect of these phone-based phishing scams is typically the attackers never even try to log in to the victim’s bank account. The entirety of the scam takes place over the phone.<br> We don’t know what the fraudsters behind this clever hybrid SMS/voice phishing scam intended to do with the information they might have coaxed from Stevens’ daughter. But in previous stories and reporting on voice phishing schemes, the fraudsters used the phished information to set up new financial accounts in the victim’s name, which they then used to receive and forward large wire transfers of stolen funds.<br> Even many security-conscious people tend to focus on protecting their online selves, while perhaps discounting the threat from less technically sophisticated phone-based scams. In 2020 I told the story of “Mitch” — the tech-savvy Silicon Valley executive <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2020/04/when-in-doubt-hang-up-look-up-call-back/">who got voice phished after he thought he’d turned the tables on the scammers</a> .<br> Unlike Stevens’ daughter, Mitch didn’t hang up with the suspected scammers. Rather, he put them on hold. Then Mitch called his bank on the other line and asked if their customer support people were in fact engaged in a separate conversation with him over the phone.<br> The bank replied that they were indeed speaking to the same customer on a different line at that very moment. Feeling better, Mitch got back on the line with the scammers. What Mitch couldn’t have known at that point was that a member of the fraudster’s team simultaneously was impersonating him on the phone with the bank’s customer service people.<br> So don’t be Mitch. Don’t try to outsmart the crooks. Just remember this anti-fraud mantra, and maybe repeat it a few times in front of your friends and family: When in doubt, hang up, look up, and call back. If you believe the call might be legitimate, look up the number of the organization supposedly calling you, and call them back.<br> And I suppose the same time-honored advice about not replying to spam email goes doubly for unsolicited text messages: When in doubt, it’s best not to respond.<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/11/sms-about-bank-fraud-as-a-pretext-for-voice-phishing/">SMS About Bank Fraud as a Pretext for Voice Phishing</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20211111-000556/ Thu, 11 Nov 2021 00:05:55 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20211111-000556/ <ol> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/134791097/update-to-youtube-dislike-counts?hl=en">Making the dislike count private across YouTube</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=support.google.com">support.google.com</a> )<br></li> </ol> https://www.whatsupup.com/con/ozonizing/briton/20211111-000450/ Thu, 11 Nov 2021 00:04:50 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/con/ozonizing/briton/20211111-000450/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://forum.defcon.org/node/240139">DEF CON Movie Night 11-13 - 'Double Indemnity'</a> 11.13.21 20:00 → 22:00<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/projects/folksily/sacristy/20211110-202439/ Wed, 10 Nov 2021 20:24:38 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/projects/folksily/sacristy/20211110-202439/ Steam Deck starts shipping February 2022 to the United States, Canada, the European Union, and the United Kingdom.

Two of the patches address vulnerabilities that are already being used in active attacks online, and four of the flaws were disclosed publicly before today — potentially giving adversaries a head start in figuring out how to exploit them.<br> Among the zero-day bugs is <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-42292">CVE-2021-42292</a> , a “security feature bypass” problem with Microsoft Excel versions 2013-2021 that could allow attackers to install malicious code just by convincing someone to open a booby-trapped Excel file (Microsoft says Mac versions of Office are also affected, but several places are reporting that Office for Mac security updates aren’t available yet).<br> Microsoft’s revised, more sparse security advisories don’t offer much detail on what exactly is being bypassed in Excel with this flaw. But Dustin Childs over at Trend Micro’s Zero Day Initiative <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/blog/2021/11/9/the-november-2021-security-update-review">says</a> the vulnerability is likely due to loading code that should be limited by a user prompt — such as a warning about external content or scripts — but for whatever reason that prompt does not appear, thus bypassing the security feature.<br> The other critical flaw patched today that’s already being exploited in the wild is <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2021-42321">CVE-2021-42321</a> , yet another zero-day in Microsoft Exchange Server .

The DOJ also said it had seized $6.1 million in cryptocurrency sent to another REvil affiliate, and that the U.S. Department of State is now offering up to $10 million for the name or location any key REvil leaders, and up to $5 million for information on REvil affiliates.<br> If it sounds unlikely that a normal Internet user could make millions of dollars unmasking the identities of REvil gang members, take heart and consider that the two men indicted as part <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/ukrainian-arrested-and-charged-ransomware-attack-kaseya">this law enforcement action</a> do not appear to have done much to separate their cybercriminal identities from their real-life selves.<br> Exhibit #1: Yaroslav Vasinskyi , the 22-year-old Ukrainian national accused of being REvil Affiliate #22. Vasinskyi was arrested Oct. 8 in Poland, which maintains an extradition treaty with the United States. Prosecutors say Vasinskyi was involved in a number of REvil ransomware attacks, including the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/ransomware-fbi-revil-decryption-key/2021/09/21/4a9417d0-f15f-11eb-a452-4da5fe48582d_story.html">July 2021 attack</a> against Kaseya , Miami-based company whose products help system administrators manage large networks remotely.<br> Yaroslav Vasinksyi’s Vkontakte profile reads “If they tell you nasty things about me, believe every word.”<br> According to <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/1447126/download">his indictment</a> (PDF), Vasinskyi used a variety of hacker handles, including “Profcomserv” — the nickname behind an online service that floods phone numbers with junk calls for a fee. Prosecutors say Vasinskyi also used the monikers  “ Yarik45 ,” and “ Yaroslav2468 .”<br> These last two nicknames correspond to accounts on several top cybercrime forums way back in 2013, where a user named “Yaroslav2468” registered using the email address <a href="mailto:yarik45@gmail.com">yarik45@gmail.com</a> .<br> That email address was used to register an account at Vkontakte (the Russian version of Facebook/Meta) under the profile name of “Yaroslav ‘sell the blood of css’ Vasinskyi.” Vasinskyi’s Vkontakte profile says his current city as of Oct. 3 was Lublin, Poland. Perhaps tauntingly, Vasinskyi’s profile page also lists the FBI’s 1-800 tip line as his contact phone number. He’s now in custody in Poland, awaiting extradition to the United States.<br> Exhibit #2: Yevgeniy Igorevich Polyanin , the 28-year-old Russian national who is alleged to be REvil Affiliate #23. The DOJ said it seized $6.1 million in funds traceable to alleged ransom payments received by Polyanin, and that the defendant had been involved in REvil ransomware attacks on multiple U.S. victim organizations.<br> The FBI’s wanted poster for Polyanin.<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/1447121/download">Polyanin’s indictment</a> (PDF) says he also favored numerous hacker handles, including LK4D4 , Damnating , Damn2life , Noolleds , and Antunpitre . Some of these nicknames go back more than a decade on Russian cybercrime forums, many of which have been hacked and relieved of their user databases over the years.<br> Among those was carder[.]su, and that forum’s database says a user by the name “Damnating” registered with the forum in 2008 using the email address <a href="mailto:damnating@yandex.ru">damnating@yandex.ru</a> .

Here’s a look at a fairly elaborate SMS-based phishing scam that spoofs FedEx in a bid to extract personal and financial information from unwary recipients.<br> One of dozens of FedEx-themed phishing sites currently being advertised via SMS spam.<br> Louis Morton , a security professional based in Fort Worth, Texas, forwarded an SMS phishing or “smishing” message sent to his wife’s mobile device that indicated a package couldn’t be delivered.<br> “It is a nearly perfect attack vector at this time of year,” Morton said. “A link was included, implying that the recipient could reschedule delivery.”<br> Attempting to visit the domain in the phishing link — o001cfedeex[.]com — from a desktop web browser redirects the visitor to a harmless page with ads for car insurance quotes. But by loading it in a mobile device (or by mimicking one using <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Common_questions/What_are_browser_developer_tools">developer tools</a> ), we can see the intended landing page pictured in the screenshot to the right — returns-fedex[.]com .<br> Blocking non-mobile users from visiting the domain can help minimize scrutiny of the site from non-potential victims, such as security researchers, and thus potentially keep the scam site online longer.<br> Clicking “Schedule new delivery” brings up a page that requests your name, address, phone number and date of birth. Those who click “Next Step” after providing that information are asked to add a payment card to cover the $2.20 “redelivery fee.” <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/11/tis-the-season-for-the-wayward-package-phish/#more-57437">Continue reading →</a><br> A number of publications in September warned about the emergence of “ Groove ,” a new ransomware group that called on competing extortion gangs to unite in attacking U.S. government interests online. It now appears that Groove was all a big hoax designed to toy with security firms and journalists.<br> “An appeal to business brothers!” reads the Oct. 22 post from Groove calling for attacks on the United States government sector.<br> Groove was first announced Aug. 22 on RAMP , a new and fairly exclusive Russian-language darknet cybercrime forum.<br> “GROOVE is first and foremost an aggressive financially motivated criminal organization dealing in industrial espionage for about two years,” wrote RAMP’s administrator “Orange” in a post asking forum members to compete in a contest for designing a website for the new group. “Let’s make it clear that we don’t do anything without a reason, so at the end of the day, it’s us who will benefit most from this contest.”<br> According to <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.mcafee.com/blogs/enterprise/mcafee-enterprise-atr/how-groove-gang-is-shaking-up-the-ransomware-as-a-service-market-to-empower-affiliates/">a report</a> published by McAfee , Orange launched RAMP to appeal to ransomware-related threat actors who were were ousted from major cybercrime forums for being too toxic, or to cybercriminals who complained of being short-changed or stiffed altogether by different ransomware affiliate programs.<br> The report said RAMP was the product of a dispute between members of the Babuk ransomware gang, and that its members likely had connections to another ransomware group called BlackMatter .<br> “[McAfee] believes, with high confidence, that the Groove gang is a former affiliate or subgroup of the Babuk gang, who are willing to collaborate with other parties, as long as there is financial gain for them,” the report said. “Thus, an affiliation with the BlackMatter gang is likely.”<br> In the first week of September, Groove posted on its darknet blog nearly 500,000 login credentials for customers of Fortinet VPN products, usernames and passwords that could be used to remotely connect to vulnerable systems. Fortinet <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.fortinet.com/blog/psirt-blogs/malicious-actor-discloses-fortigate-ssl-vpn-credentials">said</a> the credentials were collected from systems that hadn’t yet implemented a patch issued in May 2019.<br> Some security experts said the post of the Fortinet VPN usernames and passwords was aimed at drawing new affiliates to Groove. But it seems more likely the credentials were posted to garner the attention of security researchers and journalists.<br> Sometime in the last week, Groove’s darknet blog disappeared. In a post on the Russian cybercrime forum XSS , an established cybercrook using the handle “ Boriselcin ” explained that Groove was little more than a pet project to screw with the media and security industry.<br> “For those who don’t understand what’s going on: I set up a fake Groove Gang and named myself a gang,” Boriselcin wrote. The rest of the post reads:<br> “They ate it up, I dumped 500k old Fortinet [access credentials] that no one needed and they ate it up. I say that I am going to target the U.S. government sector and they eat it up. Few journalists realized that this was all a show, a fake, and a scam! And my respect goes out to those who figured it out. I don’t even know what to do now with this blog with a ton of traffic. Maybe sell it? Now I just need to start writing [the article], but I can’t start writing it without checking everything.”<br> A review of Boriselcin’s recent postings on XSS indicate he has been planning this scheme for several months. On Sept. 13, Boriselcin posted that “several topics are ripening,” and that he intended to publish an article about duping the media and security firms.<br> “Manipulation of large information security companies and the media through a ransom blog,” he wrote. “It’s so funny to read Twitter and the news these days But the result is great so far. Triggering the directors of information security companies. We fuck the supply chain of the information security office.”<br> Image: @nokae8<br> This vulnerability is, as far as I know, the first one to affect almost everything.”<br> <a rel="noreferrer"

We are constantly investing in the security of the Linux Kernel because much of the internet, and Google—from the devices in our pockets, to the services running on <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://kubernetes.io/">Kubernetes</a> in the cloud—depend on the security of it. We <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2021/10/how-simple-linux-kernel-memory.html">research its vulnerabilities and attacks</a> , as well as <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://security.googleblog.com/2021/08/linux-kernel-security-done-right.html">study and develop its defenses</a> . But we know that there is more work to do. That’s why we have decided to build on top of our <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://security.googleblog.com/2020/05/expanding-our-work-with-open-source.html">kCTF VRP</a> from last year and triple our previous reward amounts (for at least the next 3 months). Our base rewards for each publicly patched vulnerability is 31,337 USD (at most one exploit per vulnerability), but the reward can go up to 50,337 USD in two cases:<br> If the vulnerability was otherwise unpatched in the Kernel (0day)<br> If the exploit uses a new attack or technique, as determined by Google<br> We hope the new rewards will encourage the security community to explore new Kernel exploitation techniques to achieve privilege escalation and drive quicker fixes for these vulnerabilities. It is important to note, that the easiest exploitation primitives are not available in our lab environment due to the hardening done on <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://cloud.google.com/container-optimized-os/docs">Container-Optimized OS</a> . Note this program complements Android's VRP rewards, so exploits that work on Android could also be eligible for up to <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://bughunters.google.com/about/rules/6171833274204160">250,000 USD</a> (that's in addition to this program). The mechanics are:<br> Connect to the <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://google.github.io/kctf/vrp">kCTF VRP cluster</a> , obtain root and read the flag (read <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/google/security-research/blob/master/pocs/linux/cve-2021-22555/writeup.md">this writeup</a> for how it was done before, and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://google.github.io/kctf/security-threat-model.html">this threat model</a> for inspiration), and then submit your flag and a checksum of your exploit <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeQf6aWmIIjtG4sbEKfgOBK0KL3zzeHCrsgA1EcPr-xsFAk7w/viewform">in this form</a> .<br> (If applicable) report vulnerabilities to <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/google/kctf/blob/v1/SECURITY.md">upstream</a> .<br> We strongly recommend including a patch since that could qualify for an <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://bughunters.google.com/about/patch-rewards">additional reward</a> from our Patch Reward Program, but please report vulnerabilities upstream promptly once you confirm they are exploitable.<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://bughunters.google.com/report/vrp">Report your finding</a> to Google VRP once all patches are publicly available (we don't want to receive details of unpatched vulnerabilities ahead of the public.)<br> Provide the exploit code and the algorithm used to calculate the hash checksum.<br> A rough description of the exploit strategy is welcome.<br> Reports will be triaged on a weekly basis.

To prevent spam, most online services rely on large-scale inspection of plaintext conversation content or detailed social-graph analysis to determine who is saying what to whom and whether or not that should be allowed. At Signal, we build on a foundation of privacy and do not have access to that type of data or metadata.<br> We build Signal in the open, with <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/signalapp">publicly available</a> source code for our applications and servers. To keep Signal a free global communication service without spam, we must depart from our totally-open posture and develop one piece of the server in private: a system for detecting and disrupting spam campaigns. Unlike encryption protocols, which are designed to be provably secure even if everyone knows how they work, spam detection is an ongoing chore for which there is no concrete resolution and for which transparency is a major disadvantage. If we put this code on the Internet alongside everything else, spammers would just read it and adjust their tactics to gain an advantage in the cat-and-mouse game of keeping spam off the network.

The vulnerability disclosure was coordinated with multiple organizations, some of whom are now releasing updates to address the security weakness.<br> Researchers with the University of Cambridge discovered a bug that affects most computer code compilers and many software development environments. At issue is a component of the digital text encoding standard <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://home.unicode.org/">Unicode</a> , which allows computers to exchange information regardless of the language used. Unicode currently defines more than 143,000 characters across 154 different language scripts (in addition to many non-script character sets, such as emojis).<br> Specifically, the weakness involves Unicode’s bi-directional or “ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.w3.org/International/articles/inline-bidi-markup/uba-basics">Bidi” algorithm</a> , which handles displaying text that includes mixed scripts with different display orders, such as Arabic — which is read right to left — and English (left to right).<br> But computer systems need to have a deterministic way of resolving conflicting directionality in text. Enter the “Bidi override,” which can be used to make left-to-right text read right-to-left, and vice versa.<br> “In some scenarios, the default ordering set by the Bidi Algorithm may not be sufficient,” the Cambridge researchers wrote. “For these cases, Bidi override control characters enable switching the display ordering of groups of characters.”<br> Bidi overrides enable even single-script characters to be displayed in an order different from their logical encoding. As the researchers point out, this fact has previously been exploited <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2011/09/right-to-left-override-aids-email-attacks/">to disguise the file extensions of malware disseminated via email</a> .<br> Here’s the problem: Most programming languages let you put these Bidi overrides in comments and strings. This is bad because most programming languages allow comments within which all text — including <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_character">control characters</a> — is ignored by compilers and interpreters. Also, it’s bad because most programming languages allow <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.3.0?topic=literals-string">string literals</a> that may contain arbitrary characters, including control characters.<br> “So you can use them in source code that appears innocuous to a human reviewer [that] can actually do something nasty,” said Ross Anderson , a professor of computer security at Cambridge and co-author of the research. “That’s bad news for projects like Linux and Webkit that accept contributions from random people, subject them to manual review, then incorporate them into critical code. This vulnerability is, as far as I know, the first one to affect almost everything.”<br> The research paper, which dubbed the vulnerability “ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.trojansource.codes/">Trojan Source</a> ,” notes that while both comments and strings will have syntax-specific semantics indicating their start and end, these bounds are not respected by Bidi overrides . From the paper:<br> “Therefore, by placing Bidi override characters exclusively within comments and strings, we can smuggle them into source code in a manner that most compilers will accept. Our key insight is that we can reorder source code characters in such a way that the resulting display order also represents syntactically valid source code.”<br> “Bringing all this together, we arrive at a novel supply-chain attack on source code. By injecting Unicode Bidi override characters into comments and strings, an adversary can produce syntactically-valid source code in most modern languages for which the display order of characters presents logic that diverges from the real logic. In effect, we anagram program A into program B.”<br> Anderson said such an attack could be challenging for a human code reviewer to detect, as the rendered source code looks perfectly acceptable.<br> “If the change in logic is subtle enough to go undetected in subsequent testing, an adversary could introduce targeted vulnerabilities without being detected,” he said.<br> Equally concerning is that Bidi override characters persist through the copy-and-paste functions on most modern browsers, editors, and operating systems.<br> “Any developer who copies code from an untrusted source into a protected code base may inadvertently introduce an invisible vulnerability,” Anderson told KrebsOnSecurity. “Such code copying is a significant source of real-world security exploits.”<br> Image: XKCD.com/2347/<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://isi.jhu.edu/~mgreen/">Matthew Green</a> , an associate professor at the Johns Hopkins Information Security Institute , said the Cambridge research clearly shows that most compilers can be tricked with Unicode into processing code in a different way than a reader would expect it to be processed.<br> “Before reading this paper, the idea that Unicode could be exploited in some way wouldn’t have surprised me,” Green told KrebsOnSecurity. “What does surprise me is how many compilers will happily parse Unicode without any defenses, and how effective their right-to-left encoding technique is at sneaking code into codebases. That’s a really clever trick I didn’t even know was possible. Yikes.”<br> Green said the good news is that the researchers conducted a widespread vulnerability scan, but were unable to find evidence that anyone was exploiting this. Yet.<br> “The bad news is that there were no defenses to it, and now that people know about it they might start exploiting it,” Green said. “Hopefully compiler and code editor developers will patch this quickly! But since some people don’t update their development tools regularly there will be some risk for a while at least.” <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/11/trojan-source-bug-threatens-the-security-of-all-code/#more-57367">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/11/trojan-source-bug-threatens-the-security-of-all-code/">‘Trojan Source’ Bug Threatens the Security of All Code</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/fisher/trilobate/20211101-120734/ Mon, 01 Nov 2021 12:07:32 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/fisher/trilobate/20211101-120734/ <p><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl">lvgl / lvgl</a><br></p> <hr> Powerful and easy-to-use embedded GUI library with many widgets, advanced visual effects (opacity, antialiasing, animations) and low memory requirements (16K RAM, 64K Flash).<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp">hrsh7th / nvim-cmp</a><br> <hr> A completion plugin for neovim coded in Lua.<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/fchollet/deep-learning-with-python-notebooks">fchollet / deep-learning-with-python-notebooks</a><br> <hr> Jupyter notebooks for the code samples of the book "Deep Learning with Python"<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/news/nonabsorbent/freaking/20211101-001118/ Mon, 01 Nov 2021 00:11:17 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/news/nonabsorbent/freaking/20211101-001118/ <p><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2021/10/31/1050985458/the-fda-is-probing-whether-the-moderna-vaccine-can-cause-a-rare-side-effect-in-t">The FDA is probing whether the Moderna vaccine can cause a rare side effect in teens</a><br></p> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2021/10/31/1050985458/the-fda-is-probing-whether-the-moderna-vaccine-can-cause-a-rare-side-effect-in-t">Moderna says the FDA is looking into reports of a rare side effect — myocarditis, or the inflammation of the heart muscle — in those who've gotten the shot.</a><br> <hr> Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.npr.org/2021/10/31/1050984596/white-house-press-secretary-jen-psaki-reveals-she-has-covid-19">White House press secretary Jen Psaki reveals she has COVID-19</a><br> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.npr.org/2021/10/29/1050502512/south-korea-normal-life-covid-19">October 29, 2021 • South Korea is seeking a degree of normalcy by gradually easing restrictions.

I had a very interesting discussion with <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blogs.ncl.ac.uk/andreymokhov/about/">Andrey Mokhov</a> in the comments about potential designs for an even more general API; more on that in a future post, perhaps!<br> For today, though, I want to finally show one way to implement this API efficiently. Spoiler alert: this implementation ultimately won’t be fast enough for us, but it will be a helpful stepping stone on our way to a yet faster implementation (which will of course get its own post in due time).<br> This post is literate Haskell; you can <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://hub.darcs.net/byorgey/byorgey-wordpress/browse/2019-04-comprog-hs/22-BFS-impl-HashMap.lhs">obtain the source from the darcs repo</a> . We begin with a few<br> pragmas and imports.<br> {-# LANGUAGE RecordWildCards #-} {-# LANGUAGE ScopedTypeVariables #-} {-# LANGUAGE TupleSections #-} module BFS where import Control.Arrow ( ( >>> ) ) import Data.Hashable ( Hashable ) import Data.HashMap.Strict ( HashMap , ( ! ) ) import qualified Data.HashMap.Strict as HM import Data.List ( foldl' ) import Data.Sequence ( Seq ( .. ) , ViewL ( .. ) , ( |> ) ) import qualified Data.Sequence as Seq<br> Now a couple utility functions:<br> (>$>)<br> is just flipped function application, and<br> exhaust<br> iterates an<br> (a -> Maybe a)<br> function as many times as possible, returning the last non-<br> Nothing<br> value.<br> infixl 0 >$> ( >$> ) :: a -> ( a -> b ) -> b ( >$> ) = flip ( $ ) {-# INLINE (>$>) #-} exhaust :: ( a -> Maybe a ) -> a -> a exhaust f = go where go a = maybe a go ( f a )<br> Here is the<br> record that we ultimately want to produce; it should be familiar from previous posts.<br> data BFSResult v = BFSR { getLevel :: v -> Maybe Int , getParent :: v -> Maybe v }<br> While running our BFS, we’ll keep track of three things: the level of each vertex that has been encountered; a mapping from each encountered vertex to its parent; and a queue of vertices that have been encountered but yet to be processed. We use a<br> Seq<br> from <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/containers-0.6.5.1/docs/Data-Sequence.html">Data.Sequence</a> to represent the queue, since it supports efficient (amortized constant-time) insertion and removal from either end of the sequence. There are certainly other potential ways to represent a queue in Haskell (and this probably deserves its own blog post) but<br> Data.Sequence<br> seems to give good performance for minimal effort (and in any case, as we’ll see, it’s not the performance bottleneck here). We use a pair of<br> HashMap<br> s to represent the<br> maps.<br> data BFSState v = BS { level :: HashMap v Int , parent :: HashMap v v , queue :: Seq v }<br> Given a list of starting vertices, we can create an initial state, with a queue containing the starting vertices and all of them set to level 0.<br> initBFSState :: ( Eq v , Hashable v ) => [ v ] -> BFSState v initBFSState vs = BS ( HM.fromList ( map ( , 0 ) vs ) ) HM.empty ( Seq.fromList vs )<br> Now, here is our imeplementation of BFS, using the API discussed previously: it takes a list of starting vertices, a function giving the neighbors of each vertex, and a function identifying “target vertices” (so we can stop early), and returns a<br> record. We create an initial state, run<br> bfsStep<br> as much as possible, and convert the end state into a result.<br> bfs :: forall v . ( Eq v , Hashable v ) => [ v ] -> ( v -> [ v ] ) -> ( v -> Bool ) -> BFSResult v bfs vs next goal = toResult $ exhaust bfsStep ( initBFSState vs ) where<br> Converting the final<br> BFSState<br> is easy: just return functions that do a<br> into the relevant map.<br> toResult BS { .. } = BFSR ( `HM.lookup` level ) ( `HM.lookup` parent )<br> To do a single step of BFS, try to remove the next vertex<br> from the queue. If the queue is empty, or the next vertex is a goal vertex, return<br> to signal that we are done.<br> bfsStep st @ BS { .. } = case Seq.viewl queue of EmptyL -> Nothing v :< q' | goal v -> Nothing<br> Otherwise, use the<br> function to find the neighbors of<br> , keep only those we haven’t encountered before ( i.e. those which are not keys in the<br> map), and use each one to update the BFS state (being sure to first set the queue to the new one with<br> removed).<br> | otherwise -> v >$> next >>> filter ( not . ( `HM.member` level ) ) >>> foldl' ( upd v ) ( st { queue = q' } ) >>> Just<br> To update the BFS state based on a newly visited vertex, we record its parent, insert it into the<br> map with a level one greater than its parent, and add it to the end of the queue.<br> upd p BS { .. } v = BS ( HM.insert v l level ) ( HM.insert v p parent ) ( queue |> v ) where l = level ! p + 1<br> And that’s it! This is good enough to solve many BFS problems on Open Kattis, such as <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://open.kattis.com/problems/breakingbad">Breaking Bad</a> , <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://open.kattis.com/problems/armpitcomputations">ARMPIT Computations</a> , and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://open.kattis.com/problems/foldingacube">Folding a Cube</a> . (I will leave you the pleasure of solving these problems yourself; I am especially fond of my Haskell solution to Folding a Cube.)<br> Unfortunately, it is not fast enough to solve Modulo Solitaire, which I picked specifically because it seems to be one of the most computationally demanding BFS problems I’ve seen. My solution using this<br> -based implementation solves a bunch of initial test cases, but exceeds the 2 second time limit on one of the later test cases. Next time, I’ll show how to adapt this into an even faster implementation which is actually fast enough to solve Modulo Solitaire.<br> Posted in <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://byorgey.wordpress.com/category/competitive-programming/">competitive programming</a> , <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://byorgey.wordpress.com/category/haskell/">haskell</a> | Tagged <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://byorgey.wordpress.com/tag/bfs/">BFS</a> , <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://byorgey.wordpress.com/tag/graph/">graph</a> , <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://byorgey.wordpress.com/tag/hashmap/">HashMap</a> , <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://byorgey.wordpress.com/tag/haskell/">haskell</a> , <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://byorgey.wordpress.com/tag/kattis/">Kattis</a> , <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://byorgey.wordpress.com/tag/search/">search</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://byorgey.wordpress.com/2021/10/29/competitive-programming-in-haskell-bfs-part-3-implementation-via-hashmap/#respond">Leave a comment</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://byorgey.wordpress.com/tag/search/">search</a><br> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://byorgey.wordpress.com/2021/10/29/competitive-programming-in-haskell-bfs-part-3-implementation-via-hashmap/">Competitive programming in Haskell: BFS, part 3 (implementation via HashMap)</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/projects/pulsed/prayerfully/20211030-041605/ Sat, 30 Oct 2021 04:16:04 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/projects/pulsed/prayerfully/20211030-041605/ <p><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blogs.nasa.gov/commercialcrew/2021/10/29/launch-readiness-review-concludes-prelaunch-news-conference-set-for-1115-p-m/">Launch Readiness Review Concludes, Prelaunch News Conference Set for 11:15 p.m.</a><br></p> <hr> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blogs.nasa.gov/commercialcrew/2021/10/29/nasas-spacex-crew-3-prelaunch-news-conference-moved-to-1030-p-m-et/">NASA’s SpaceX Crew-3 Prelaunch News Conference Moved to 11:15 p.m. ET</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/software/supercharging/secretary/20211030-020811/ Sat, 30 Oct 2021 02:08:11 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/software/supercharging/secretary/20211030-020811/ GitHub Copilot is available as an extension for Neovim, JetBrains, and Visual Studio Code.

Over the past few years, we've utilized innovations in cryptographic research to keep your personal information private by design and secure by default. As part of this, we launched <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://security.googleblog.com/2019/02/protect-your-accounts-from-data.html">Password Checkup</a> , which protects account credentials by notifying you if an entered username and password are known to have been compromised in a prior data breach. Using cryptographic techniques, Password Checkup can do this without revealing your credentials to anyone, including Google. Today, Password Checkup protects users across many platforms including <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://security.googleblog.com/2021/02/new-password-checkup-feature-coming-to.html">Android</a> , <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://security.googleblog.com/2019/12/better-password-protections-in-chrome.html">Chrome</a> and <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.google/technology/safety-security/password-checkup/">Google Password Manager</a> . Another example is <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://security.googleblog.com/2019/06/helping-organizations-do-more-without-collecting-more-data.html">Private Join and Compute</a> , an open source protocol which enables organizations to work together and draw insights from confidential data sets. Two parties are able to encrypt their data sets, join them, and compute statistics over the joint data. By leveraging secure multi-party computation, Private Join and Compute is designed to ensure that the plaintext data sets are concealed from all parties. In this post, we introduce the next iteration of our research, Private Set Membership, as well as its <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/google/private-membership">open-source availability</a> . At a high level, Private Set Membership considers the scenario in which Google holds a database of items, and user devices need to contact Google to check whether a specific item is found in the database. As an example, users may want to check membership of a computer program on a block list consisting of known malicious software before executing the program. Often, the set’s contents and the queried items are sensitive, so we designed Private Set Membership to perform this task while preserving the privacy of our users. Protecting your device information during enrollment Beginning in Chrome 94, Private Set Membership will enable Chrome OS devices to complete the enrollment process in a privacy-preserving manner. Device enrollment is an integral part of the out-of-box experience that welcomes you when getting started with a Chrome OS device. The device enrollment process requires checking membership of device information in encrypted Google databases, including checking if a device is enterprise enrolled or determining if a device was pre-packaged with a license. The correct end state of your Chrome OS device is determined using the results of these membership checks. During the enrollment process, we protect your Chrome OS devices by ensuring no information ever leaves the device that may be decrypted by anyone else when using Private Set Membership. Google will never learn any device information and devices will not learn any unnecessary information about other devices. ​​To our knowledge, this is the first instance of advanced cryptographic tools being leveraged to protect device information during the enrollment process. A deeper look at Private Set Membership Private Set Membership is built upon two cryptographic tools:<br> Homomorphic encryption is a powerful cryptographic tool that enables computation over encrypted data without the need for decryption. As an example, given the encryptions of values X and Y, homomorphic encryption enables computing the encryption of the sum of X and Y without ever needing to decrypt. This preserves privacy as the data remains concealed during the computation. Private Set Membership is built upon Google’s <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/google/shell-encryption">open source</a> homomorphic encryption library.<br> Oblivious hashing is a cryptographic technique that enables two parties to jointly compute a hash, H(K, x), where the sender holds the key, K, and the receiver holds the hash input, x. The receiver will obtain the hash, H(K, x), without learning the key K. At the same time, the input x will be hidden from the sender.<br> Take a look at how Private Set Membership utilizes homomorphic encryption and oblivious hashing to protect data below:<br> For a deeper look into the technology behind Private Set Membership, you can also <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/google/private-membership">access our open source code</a> . Privacy properties By using Private Set Membership, the following privacy properties are obtained:<br> No data leaves the device when checking membership. We designed Private Set Membership using advanced cryptographic techniques to ensure that data never leaves the device in an unencrypted manner when performing membership checks. As a result, the data on your device will be concealed from everyone, including Google.<br> Devices learn only membership information and nothing else. Private Set Membership was designed to prevent devices from learning any unnecessary information about other devices when querying. For each query, devices learn only the results of the membership check and no other information.<br> Using Private Set Membership to solve more problems Private Set Membership is a powerful tool that solves a fundamental problem in a privacy-preserving manner. This is just the beginning of what’s possible using this technology. Private Set Membership can help preserve user privacy across a wide array of applications. For example:<br> Checking allow or block lists. In this setting, users check membership in an allow or block list to determine whether to proceed with the desired action. Private Set Membership enables this check without any information about the software leaving the device.<br> Control flows with conditional membership checks. Control flows are a common computer science concept that represent arbitrary computer programs with conditional branching. In many cases, the conditional branches require checking membership of sensitive data to determine the next step of the algorithm. By utilizing Private Set Membership, we enable execution of these algorithms while ensuring data never leaves the user’s device.<br> We still have a ways to go before Private Set Membership is used for general membership checks by devices. At Google, we are exploring a number of potential use cases to protect your privacy using Private Set Membership. We are excited to continue advancing the state-of-the-art cryptographic research to keep you safe.

This week, Signet subsidiary Zales.com updated its website to remediate a nearly identical customer data exposure.<br> Last week, KrebsOnSecurity heard from a reader who was browsing Zales.com and suddenly found they were looking at someone else’s order information on the website, including their name, billing address, shipping address, phone number, email address, items and total amount purchased, delivery date, tracking link, and the last four digits of the customer’s credit card number.<br> The reader noticed that the link for the order information she’d stumbled on included a lengthy numeric combination that — when altered — would produce yet another customer’s order information.<br> When the reader failed to get an immediate response from Signet, KrebsOnSecurity contacted the company. In a written response, Signet said, “A concern was brought to our attention by an IT professional. We addressed it swiftly, and upon review we found no misuse or negative impact to any systems or customer data.”<br> Their statement continues:<br> “As a business principle we make consumer information protection the highest priority, and proactively initiate independent and industry-leading security testing. As a result, we exceed industry benchmarks on data protection maturity. We always appreciate it when consumers reach out to us with feedback, and have committed to further our efforts on data protection maturity.”<br> When Signet <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2018/12/jared-kay-jewelers-parent-fixes-data-leak/">fixed similar weaknesses with its Jared and Kay websites back in 2018</a> , the reader who found and reported that data exposure said his mind quickly turned to the various ways crooks might exploit access to customer order information.<br> “My first thought was they could track a package of jewelry to someone’s door and swipe it off their doorstep,” said Brandon Sheehy , a Dallas-based Web developer. “My second thought was that someone could call Jared’s customers and pretend to be Jared, reading the last four digits of the customer’s card and saying there’d been a problem with the order, and if they could get a different card for the customer they could run it right away and get the order out quickly. That would be a pretty convincing scam. Or just targeted phishing attacks.” <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/10/zales-com-leaked-customer-data-just-like-sister-firms-jared-kay-jewelers-did-in-2018/#more-57314">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/10/zales-com-leaked-customer-data-just-like-sister-firms-jared-kay-jewelers-did-in-2018/">Zales.com Leaked Customer Data, Just Like Sister Firms Jared, Kay Jewelers Did in 2018</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/fisher/trilobate/20211030-014833/ Sat, 30 Oct 2021 01:48:33 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/fisher/trilobate/20211030-014833/ <p><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/microsoft/Data-Science-For-Beginners">microsoft / Data-Science-For-Beginners</a><br></p> <hr> 10 Weeks, 20 Lessons, Data Science for All!<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei-templates">projectdiscovery / nuclei-templates</a><br> <hr> Community curated list of templates for the nuclei engine to find security vulnerabilities.<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/tsoding/porth">tsoding / porth</a><br> <hr> It's like Forth but in Python<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd">argoproj / argo-cd</a><br> <hr> Declarative continuous deployment for Kubernetes.<br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/odoo/odoo">odoo / odoo</a><br> <hr> Odoo.

Source: WOKV.com.<br> Headquartered in Shenzhen, China, <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.pax.us/">PAX Technology Inc.</a> has more than 60 million point-of-sale terminals in use throughout 120 countries. Earlier today, Jacksonville, Fla. based WOKV.com <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.wokv.com/news/local/fbi-jacksonville-homeland-security-agents-investigating-outside-southside-business/BVFSPMUVUJHWRJTX56PSQDXAZ4/">reported</a> that agents with the FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had raided a local PAX Technology warehouse.<br> In an official statement, investigators told WOKV only that they were executing a court-authorized search at the warehouse as a part of a federal investigation, and that the inquiry included the Department of Customs and Border Protection and the Naval Criminal Investigative Services (NCIS). The FBI has not responded to requests for comment.<br> Several days ago, KrebsOnSecurity heard from a trusted source that the FBI began investigating PAX after a major U.S. payment processor started asking questions about unusual network packets originating from the company’s payment terminals.<br> According to that source, the payment processor found that the PAX terminals were being used both as a malware “dropper” — a repository for malicious files — and as “command-and-control” locations for staging attacks and collecting information.<br> “FBI and MI5 are conducting an intensive investigation into PAX,” the source said. “A major US payment processor began asking questions about network packets originating from PAX terminals and were not given any good answers.”<br> KrebsOnSecurity reached out to PAX Technology’s CEO on Sunday. The company has not yet responded to requests for comment.<br> The source said two major financial providers — one in the United States and one in the United Kingdom — had already begun pulling PAX terminals from their payment infrastructure, a claim that was verified by two different sources. <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/10/fbi-raids-chinese-point-of-sale-giant-pax-technology/#more-57313">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/10/fbi-raids-chinese-point-of-sale-giant-pax-technology/">FBI Raids Chinese Point-of-Sale Giant PAX Technology</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/con/lechering/scandinavia/20211026-200416/ Tue, 26 Oct 2021 20:04:16 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/con/lechering/scandinavia/20211026-200416/ December 3-4, 2021 - <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="http://www.securitybsides.com/w/page/146658480/BSidesSLC%202021">BSidesSLC</a> (Salt Lake City, UT)<br> https://www.whatsupup.com/lang/bartlett/relabeling/20211026-200059/ Tue, 26 Oct 2021 20:00:59 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/lang/bartlett/relabeling/20211026-200059/ <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://blog.golang.org/blog/survey2021">Announcing the 2021 Go Developer Survey</a> , 26 October 2021 Alice Merrick<br> Please take the 2021 Go Developer Survey.

Organizations infected with Conti’s malware who refuse to negotiate a ransom payment are added to Conti’s victim shaming blog, where confidential files stolen from victims may be published or sold. But sometime over the past 48 hours, the cybercriminal syndicate updated its victim shaming blog to indicate that it is now selling access to many of the organizations it has hacked.<br> A redacted screenshot of the Conti News victim shaming blog.<br> “We are looking for a buyer to access the network of this organization and sell data from their network,” reads the confusingly worded message inserted into multiple recent victim listings on Conti’s shaming blog.<br> It’s unclear what prompted the changes, or what Conti hopes to gain from the move. It’s also not obvious why they would advertise having hacked into companies if they plan on selling that access to extract sensitive data going forward. Conti did not respond to requests for comment.<br> “I wonder if they are about to close down their operation and want to sell data or access from an in-progress breach before they do,” said Fabian Wosar , chief technology officer at computer security firm Emsisoft . “But it’s somewhat stupid to do it that way as you will alert the companies that they have a breach going on.”<br> The unexplained shift comes as policymakers in the United States and Europe are moving forward on efforts to disrupt some of the top ransomware gangs. Reuters recently <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/exclusive-governments-turn-tables-ransomware-gang-revil-by-pushing-it-offline-2021-10-21/">reported</a> that the U.S. government was behind an ongoing hacking operation that penetrated the computer systems of <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/?s=REvil">REvil</a> , a ransomware affiliate group that experts say is about as aggressive and ruthless as Conti in dealing with victims. What’s more, REvil was among the first ransomware groups to start selling its victims’ data.<br> REvil’s darknet victim shaming site remains offline. In response, a representative for the Conti gang posted a long screed on Oct. 22 to a Russian language hacking forum denouncing the attack on REvil as the “unilateral, extraterritorial, and bandit-mugging behavior of the United States in world affairs.” <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/10/conti-ransom-gang-starts-selling-access-to-victims/#more-57318">Continue reading →</a><br> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/10/conti-ransom-gang-starts-selling-access-to-victims/">Conti Ransom Gang Starts Selling Access to Victims</a><br> https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20211025-200552/ Mon, 25 Oct 2021 20:05:51 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/trends/embodying/obliger/20211025-200552/ <ol> <li><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.quastor.org/p/how-whatsapp-scaled-to-1-billion">WhatsApp scaled to 1B users with only 50 engineers</a> ( <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=quastor.org">quastor.org</a> )<br> 500 points by <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=unripe_syntax">unripe_syntax</a> <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28985169">12 hours ago</a> | <a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28985169">368 comments</a><br></li> </ol> https://www.whatsupup.com/con/blistery/sanest/20211025-200354/ Mon, 25 Oct 2021 20:03:53 +0000 https://www.whatsupup.com/con/blistery/sanest/20211025-200354/ Enigma 2022 will be held February 1-3, 2022 in Santa Clara, CA, USA.
