    Mind your Own Business: A Longitudinal Study of Threats and Vulnerabilities in Enterprises Abstract—Enterprises own a significant fraction of the hosts to, financial assets, and security investment. Thus, it is very connected to the Internet and possess valuable assets, such as likely that the best practices mentioned above do not equally financial data and intellectual property, which may be targeted apply to all of them. by attackers. They suffer attacks that exploit unpatched hosts and install malware, resulting in breaches that may cost millions Currently, it is not clear how the security posture of in damages. Despite the scale of this phenomenon, the threat and enterprises differ according to different factors and whether vulnerability landscape of enterprises remains under-studied. The enterprises are indeed more secure than consumer hosts, i.e., security posture of enterprises remains unclear, and it’s unknown if their security investment is paying off. In this paper, we aim whether enterprises are indeed more secure than consumer hosts. to throw light into these questions by conducting a large-scale To address these questions, we perform the largest and longest longitudinal measurement study of enterprise security.

    HOME ANTI- MALWARE PROTECTION JUL - SEP 2020 selabs.uk [email protected] @SELabsUK www.facebook.com/selabsuk blog.selabs.uk SE Labs tested a variety of anti-malware (aka ‘anti-virus’; aka ‘endpoint security’) products from a range of well-known vendors in an effort to judge which were the most effective. Each product was exposed to the same threats, which were a mixture of targeted attacks using well-established techniques and public email and web-based threats that were found to be live on the internet at the time of the test. The results indicate how effectively the products were at detecting and/or protecting against those threats in real time. 2 Home Anti-Malware Protection July - September 2020 MANAGEMENT Chief Executive Officer Simon Edwards CONTENTS Chief Operations Officer Marc Briggs Chief Human Resources Officer Magdalena Jurenko Chief Technical Officer Stefan Dumitrascu Introduction 04 TEstING TEAM Executive Summary 05 Nikki Albesa Zaynab Bawa 1.

  • A Glance Into the Eye Pyramid Technical Article V2
    A glance into the Eye Pyramid RĂZVAN OLTEANU Security Reasercher We keep you safe and we keep it simple. 01 Introduction On January 11, 2017 Italian news agency AGI, published a court order regarding cyber-attacks against high ranking Italian government members and Italian institutions. The attacks were conducted by two Italian brothers to get financial information that would help them gain an advantage when trading on financial markets. Overview The campaign was carried out over several years starting in 2008 and continuing into 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2014. The mechanism the brothers used to distribute their malware was simple; targeted spear-phishing emails aimed at victims who had already been selected. The emails con- tained a malware attachment, which once opened harvested information from the victims’ computers. This information consisted of pictures, documents, archives, presenta- tions, email contacts, email bodies, usernames, passwords, keystrokes, web pages content and databases. Technical details The malware was written in VisualBasic.net and was obfuscated twice using common obfuscators: Dotfuscator and Skater .NET which can be easily reversed. The malware stored its sensitive data – license keys, URLs and paths – by encrypting with the Triple DES algorithm using the MD5 of a provided password as key and SHA256 of the pass- word as initialization vector. A glance into the Eye Pyramid 01 02 Figure 1 Security applications To remain unnoticed, it tried to disable any security application installed on the victim’s computer. Targeted

  • Demystifying the IP Blackspace
    Demystifying the IP Blackspace Quentin Jacquemart1 , Pierre-Antoine Vervier2, Guillaume Urvoy-Keller3, and Ernst Biersack4 1 Eurecom, Sophia Antipolis [email protected] 2 Symantec Research Labs, Sophia Antipolis Pierre-Antoine [email protected] 3 Univ. Nice Sophia Antipolis, CNRS, I3S, UMR 7271, 06900 Sophia Antipolis [email protected] 4 [email protected] Abstract. A small part of the IPv4 address space has still not been assigned for use to any organization. However, some of this IP space is announced through BGP, and is, therefore, globally reachable. These prefixes which are a subset of the bogon prefixes, constitute what we call the blackspace. It is generally admitted that the blackspace stands to be abused by anybody who wishes to carry out borderline and/or illegal activities without being traced. The contribution of this paper is twofold. First, we propose a novel methodology to accurately identify the IP blackspace. Based on data collected over a period of seven months, we study the routing-level characteristics of these networks and identify some benign reasons why these networks are announced on the Internet. Second, we focus on the security threat associated with these networks by looking at their application-level footprint. We identify live IP addresses and leverage them to fingerprint services running in these networks. Using this data we uncover a large amount of spam and scam activities. Finally, we present a case study of confirmed fraudulent routing of IP blackspace. 1 Introduction The global BGP (Boder Gateway Protocol) routing table now contains over 600k dis- tinct IPv4 prefixes. A few of these prefixes should not be globally announced (such as the private IP space) and are collectively referred to as bogon prefixes.
