Things Are Getting Worse
Security Now! Transcript of Episode #616 Page 1 of 30 Transcript of Episode #616 Things Are Getting Worse Description: This week we discuss clever malware hiding its social media communications. The NSA documents the Russian election hacking two-factor authentication bypass; meanwhile, other Russian attackers leverage Google's own infrastructure to hide their spoofing. Tavis finds more problems in Microsoft's anti- malware protection; a cryptocurrency stealing malware; more concerns over widespread Internet-connected camera design; malware found to be exploiting Intel's AMT motherboard features; the new danger of mouse-cursor hovering; Apple's iCloud sync security claims; Azure changes their CA; a bunch of catch-up miscellany; and a bit of "closing the loop" feedback from our listeners.

Microsoft® Windows® Operating System Licensing Guide for Refurbished Personal Computers (PC)
Microsoft® Windows® Operating System Licensing Guide for Refurbished Personal Computers (PC) Using genuine Windows operating systems is as important for refurbished PCs as it is for new PCs. Only genuine Windows operating systems offer end users the quality they expect plus additional benefits—such as full access to downloads, updates, and enhanced features. What is a Refurbished PC? A refurbished PC is a used PC that has gone through one or more of the following processes that leave the PC ready for use by a new owner: ● Data wiping ● Testing ● Cosmetic repair and/or replacement of defective minor PC components A PC is considered to be a refurbished PC if it has the original motherboard, or a replacement was made of a defective motherboard with one of exactly the same make, model and specification. Major repairs, such as the installation of a new model motherboard, results in a “new” PC and not a “refurbished” PC. When is a new Windows operating system license required and when is one not required? A new Windows license is not required for a refurbished PC that has: (1) The original Certificate of Authenticity (COA) for a Windows operating system affixed to the PC, and (2) The original recovery media or hard-disk based recovery image associated with the PC. The operating system identified on the original COA indicates the edition of Windows that was originally licensed for that PC and the refurbisher can use either: (1) The original recovery media or (2) The original hard-disk based recovery image to re-install the operating system software specified on the COA.

Why Open Source Software / Free Software (OSS/FS, FLOSS, Or FOSS)? Look at the Numbers!
Translations available: Czech | French | Japanese | Spanish Why Open Source Software / Free Software (OSS/FS, FLOSS, or FOSS)? Look at the Numbers! David A. Wheeler http://www.dwheeler.com/contactme.html Revised as of July 18, 2015 This paper (and its supporting database) provides quantitative data that, in many cases, using open source software / free software (abbreviated as OSS/FS, FLOSS, or FOSS) is a reasonable or even superior approach to using their proprietary competition according to various measures. This paper’s goal is to show that you should consider using OSS/FS when acquiring software. This paper examines popularity, reliability, performance, scalability, security, and total cost of ownership. It also has sections on non-quantitative issues, unnecessary fears, OSS/FS on the desktop, usage reports, governments and OSS/FS, other sites providing related information, and ends with some conclusions. An appendix gives more background information about OSS/FS. You can view this paper at http://www.dwheeler.com/oss_fs_why.html (HTML format). A short presentation (briefing) based on this paper is also available. Palm PDA users may wish to use Plucker to view this longer report. Old archived copies and a list of changes are also available. 1. Introduction Open Source Software / Free Software (aka OSS/FS), also described as Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS), has risen to great prominence. Briefly, FLOSS programs are programs whose licenses give users the freedom to run the program for any purpose, to study and modify the program, and to redistribute copies of either the original or modified program (without having to pay royalties to previous developers).

Counter Intrusion Software: Malware Detection Using Structural and Behavioural Features and Machine Learning
Counter Intrusion Software Malware Detection using Structural and Behavioural Features and Machine Learning by Joseph Rabaiotti School of Computer Science Cardiff University A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Version: August 4, 2007 1 Abstract Over the past twenty-five years malicious software has evolved from a minor annoyance to a major security threat. Authors of malicious software are now more likely to be organised criminals than bored teenagers, and modern malicious software is more likely to be aimed at stealing data (and hence money) than trashing data. The arms race between malware authors and manufacturers of anti-malware software continues apace, but despite this, the majority of anti-malware solutions still rely on relatively old technology such as signature scanning, which works well enough in the majority of cases but which has long been known to be ineffective if signatures are not updated regularly. The need for regular updating means there is often a critical window between the publication of a flaw exploitable by malware and the distribution of the appropriate counter measures or signature. At this point a user system is open to attack by hitherto unseen malware. The object of this thesis is to determine if it is practical to use machine learning techniques to abstract generic structural or behavioural features of malware which can then be used to recognise hitherto unseen examples. Although a sizeable amount of research has been done on various ways in which malware detection might be automated, most of the proposed methods are burdened by excessive complexity.
