The Status-Code element in a server response is a 3-digit integer where the first digit of the Status-Code defines the class of response and the last two digits do not have any categorization role. There are 5 values for the first digit:
There are 5 different types of Status Codes.
1xx Informational - This class of status code indicates a provisional response, consisting only of the Status-Line and optional headers, and is terminated by an empty line. There are no required headers for this class of status code.
2xx Success - This class of status code indicates that the client’s request was successfully received, understood, and accepted.
3xx Redirection - This class of status code indicates that further action needs to be taken by the user agent in order to fulfill the request. The action required MAY be carried out by the user agent without interaction with the user if and only if the method used in the second request is GET or HEAD
4xx Client Error -
The 4xx class of status code is intended for cases in which the client seems to have erred. Except when responding to a HEAD request, the server SHOULD include an entity containing an explanation of the error situation, and whether it is a temporary or permanent condition
5xx Server Error -
Response status codes beginning with the digit “5” indicate cases in which the server is aware that it has erred or is incapable of performing the request |
A risk actor tracked underneath the moniker Webworm has been linked to bespoke Windows-based mostly distant accessibility trojans, some of which are explained to be in pre-deployment or testing phases.
“The group has developed personalized versions of three older distant obtain trojans (RATs), like Trochilus RAT, Gh0st RAT, and 9002 RAT,” the Symantec Risk Hunter crew, element of Broadcom Software, explained in a report shared with The Hacker Information.
The cybersecurity business claimed at minimum one particular of the indicators of compromise (IOCs) was applied in an attack from an IT support supplier working in many Asian nations.
It truly is value pointing out that all the a few backdoors are largely associated with Chinese danger actors this kind of as Stone Panda (APT10), Aurora Panda (APT17), Emissary Panda (APT27), and Judgement Panda (APT31), amongst other individuals, even though they have been place to use by other hacking groups.
Symantec stated the Webworm danger actor exhibits tactical overlaps with an additional new adversarial collective documented by Positive Systems previously this Could as House Pirates, which was identified striking entities in the Russian aerospace business with novel malware.
Area Pirates, for its component, intersects with previously recognized Chinese espionage activity regarded as Wicked Panda (APT41), Mustang Panda, Dagger Panda (RedFoxtrot), Vibrant Panda (TA428), and Night Dragon owing to the shared use of publish-exploitation modular RATs these kinds of as PlugX and ShadowPad.
Other tools in its malware arsenal include Zupdax, Deed RAT, a modified model of Gh0st RAT identified as BH_A006, and MyKLoadClient.
Webworm, active since 2017, has a observe history of hanging authorities companies and enterprises concerned in IT companies, aerospace, and electrical ability industries positioned in Russia, Ga, Mongolia, and a number of other Asian nations.
Attack chains involve the use of dropper malware that harbors a loader developed to launch modified variations of Trochilus, Gh0st, and 9002 distant obtain trojans. Most of the adjustments are meant to evade detection, the cybersecurity company reported.
“Webworm’s use of customized variations of more mature, and in some circumstances open-supply, malware, as nicely as code overlaps with the group recognized as Room Pirates, recommend that they may be the similar danger group,” the scientists reported.
“On the other hand, the frequent use of these styles of equipment and the trade of applications between teams in this region can obscure the traces of distinct menace teams, which is possible one particular of the motives why this solution is adopted, yet another remaining value, as building innovative malware can be high-priced in terms of equally funds and time.”

Routing and data diffusion in VANETs -- Security standards
Editor's Note: Wireless sensor networks lie at the heart of emerging applications in nearly every industry segment. In building these networks, designers contend with issues that encompass real-time communications, efficient high-bandwidth data exchange, multiple network topologies, selection of optimal routing strategies, and more. The book, Building Wireless Sensor Networks, offers detailed treatments on critical requirements and promising solutions in each of these areas and more.
This excerpt focuses on design challenges and methods associated with creating a vehicular ad hoc network (VANET). To share data as vehicles pass on roads or rest in parking areas, a VANET must contend with issues as varied as the physics of signal propagation, the fluid nature of data routing, and the security vulnerabilities associated with participation in an ad hoc network. Because of the changing nature of a VANET, designers need a broad understanding of these issues.
In this excerpt from the book, the authors offer an in-depth discussion that defines the nature of VANET challenges and discusses alternatives for their solution. Continuing the description of VANETs in part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, and part 5, this installment of this series provides an in-depth discussion of the IEEE 1609.2-2016 standard for access and security in vehicular networks.

Chapter 3. Routing and data diffusion in vehicular ad hoc networks (Cont.)
By Frédéric Drouhin and Sébastien Bindel
3.4.3. VANET security mechanisms: IEEE 1609.2-2016 standard
The previous section discussed the different possible attacks. Some research on solutions against the different attacks listed, [MEJ 14] and [SUN 10], provide an interesting survey. In this section, IEEE 1609.2-2016 standard is discussed.
IEEE 1609.2-2016 (IEEE Standard for Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments and Security Services for Applications and Management Messages) proposes a standard with the following definition: “this standard defines secure message formats and processing for use by Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) devices, including methods to secure WAVE management messages and methods to secure application messages. It also describes administrative functions necessary to support the core security functions”. This standard is used in IEEE 1609.3-2016 for WAVE Service Announcement security and in SAE J2945/1-201603, On-Board System Requirements for V2V Safety Communications, for Basic Safety Message security. This standard provides the following requirements:
– Secure protocol data unit (PDU) format for signed data and encrypted data: it provides payload, hash of external payload, provider service ID to indicate permissions with optional fields (generation time, expiry time, generation location, security management), reference to signing certificate and signature.
– Certificate format for signing PDUs applications with pseudonymous (no identification of sender) and identifier: certificate contains permissions (service-specific permissions) and a provider service ID together with a signed secured PDU.
– Certificate authorities (CA): all messages are signed by a certificate which is provided by a certificate authority in cascade with at least one certificate in the list known and trusted by a receiver.
– Certificate revocation list (CRL) format that allows revoking or invalidating for different reasons (e.g. private key compromised, change in certificate).
– Peer-to-peer certificate distribution to allow new certificates: this requirement is mandatory and added to the list of certificates with always the feature that one certificate is known in the list. Receiver should be able to build a cascade of certificates to a trusted and identified certificate.
To be a valid message, the receiver has to check that the signed secure PDU has verified that none of the certificates have been revoked, one certificate in the list is trusted, the signature is verified, the payload is consistent with the provider service ID and permissions and the message is relevant (recent, not expired, not a replay). The data are encrypted with symmetric key with a persistent public key. Concerning the exchange of certificate, it is based on asymmetric cryptography (public and private keys) that requires the establishment of a public key infrastructure (PKI). PKI provides several security services with a trusted CA with confidentially, authenticity, integrity and non-repudiation.
This standard is still in development and different research projects (e.g. Crash Avoidance Metrics Partnership) are providing input for its development.
Similar to propagation models, security protocols impact network performance and computing capabilities. There exist several cryptographic approaches to be applied in VANET, including public key programs to distribute session keys for message encryption, authentication schemes and random traffic patterns against traffic analysis. Constraints such as privacy (e.g. position detection) must be consistent with the traceability of messages required by law enforcement authorities. In addition, the constraint in message delivery time should not be impacted by cryptography. IEEE 1609.2-2016 provides requirements for security on several attacks. These different solutions must also be coupled with stand-alone vehicle systems such as Lidar, cameras and other sensors to ensure better security and reliability, particularly in a safety context.
The aim of this chapter was to describe routing and security solutions for vehicular ad hoc networks. The background details communication standards and signal disturbances. This information must be taken into account in the design of routing security protocols. Standards define protocol format messages and how a solution can be implemented in the network stack. Furthermore, signal disturbance investigation gives an overview on challenges met by routing protocols which have to ensure efficient data delivery services. A detailed investigation has been conducted into routing solutions dedicated to vehicular networks. It first details a theoretical overview of routing algorithms, then it describes the current metrics used for the node selection process and, finally, practical routing protocols are detailed and compared. Finally, a survey on security aspects has been proposed and it shows urgent challenges in such networks.
There is no silver bullet, and current routing protocols are not efficient in all situations. The dynamic topology in VANET is currently being studied through dynamic graphs, but no algorithm can guarantee no packet loss and a time delay boundary. As a result, the discussion is still open. Concerning security, this aspect cannot be ignored in the design of solutions dedicated to vehicular networks. A consortium regrouping the vehicle industry (Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Opel, Ford, Boss Continental, etc.) and public institutions are working on safety solutions such as the Safe Intelligent Mobility project.
This conclusion finishes by mentioning 5G developed by [GEN 17] and specifically the release of 14 (in development) that proposes an alternative for 802.11p (V2I and V2V) with point-to-point communication (device to device) and includes a wide range of road users (e.g. pedestrians, bicyclist, etc.) especially in a safety schema. |
Our platform is hosted by Amazon Web Services. We use a variety of services including EC2, S3, RDS, CloudFront, Elastic Beanstalk, Comprehend and GuardDuty.
TAP is built on the PERN stack (Postgres, Express, React and Node.js). The mobile app is built in React Native and we also offer a RESTful public API for third-party integrations.
The platform is architected inside a virtual private cloud (VPC). Servers cannot be accessed directly from the Internet, and databases have no Internet access. Servers are maintained via an SSH bastion (tunnel). Access is limited to developer IP addresses. Users authenticate via SSL.
All applications are developed in a secure environment and source control is secured. Developers refer to the OWASP guidelines. All code passes through a quality assurance (QA) process which tests functionality against a user story and for security vulnerabilities. We perform code reviews on an ongoing basis and User Acceptance Testing on more complex new features.
The platform is served over TLS1.2. Sensitive data is hashed using SHA256. Passwords are hashed using Bcrypt.
Identity and access management (IAM)
We mandate strict permissions and access management for developers, with highly limited database access. Keys are cycled every sixty days. ‘Superadmin’ accounts are held by TAP employees who have completed data protection training. All users can delete their own accounts.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
Internal systems are protected by 2-step authentication as a minimum, including employee email accounts.
Data security and integrity
We carry out penetration testing on all key systems, including data stores, at least once annually. Testers simulate an attack under controlled conditions, with the aims of:
- breaching the confidentiality of data stored by, or on behalf of, The Access Platform
- identifying the level of exposure to a targeted or untargeted attack
- identifying whether an attack could penetrate the VPC
- disabling internal infrastructure
- reducing or otherwise affecting the availability of the service
In accordance with OWASP penetration testing methodologies, tests are conducted under controlled conditions with the same level of access as a regular Internet user.
Monitoring and recovery
We monitor continuously using both AWS services and external services such as New Relic. We have processes for backups, updates, patches and disaster recovery.
All vulnerabilities are categorised using a traffic-light system and patches are released within 48 hours; in most cases within two hours. Errors and events are logged for 90 days. Backups are automated by AWS and checked daily for integrity. We perform vulnerability assessments on an ongoing basis with a monthly review.
We have an RPO of under 6 hours and RTO under 2 hours.
Processes and Training
Developers and account managers undergo a data protection training course provided by High Speed Training. We also take basic security measures including a 'monitor-off' policy, antivirus policies, and password management. |
School season is in full swing and the kids are back to learning. With all that hard work, they’re getting pretty smart, but they’re not the only ones. The rise of machine learning means computers are also honing their skills, especially when it comes to cybersecurity.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) in cybersecurity can be complicated, but it’s also a valuable resource in many areas, from detecting intruders to preventing attacks. While AI may seem overwhelming for Small Business, there’s actually a fairly simple way to make use of it as a part of your cybersecurity arsenal in the form of Next-Generation Antivirus software. |
My team tests at least 5 applications a week on average. We constantly work with Web Apps, Web Services, Mobile Apps and now, IoT driven applications, which have a pretty large web services layer supporting it. We work with multiple product engineering teams, especially developers, to help them fix those niggling security problems.
Recently, I had a question that I wanted answered in substantive terms. “Which vulnerabilities are most resistant and persistent across all the apps that we test?” This is a pretty expansive question. We test scores of apps, that have a larger set of vulnerabilities. I was looking for application vulnerabilities that either haven’t been fixed over time or have been fixed at a given time, but have resurfaced elsewhere. These vulnerabilities, I would put into the “Resistant, Persistent” category. I loaded our sanitized vulnerability metadata onto an Elastic Search Server. And armed with my python scripts for analytics and aggregation, I crunched some numbers and I have tried to drill down to the 3 Most Resistant Application Security Vulnerabilities, from January of 2015 to the present day.
1. Cross Site Scripting (XSS):
2. Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR):
These really are Authorization Flaws. Using these flaws, an attacker can bypass permissions management controls and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information from other user accounts or other data sets. The major manifestations of IDORs happen in two ways. First (uncommon) type where the attacker is able to manipulate model data and gain access to privileged functionality. Second (common) type where attackers can identify primary key/identifier values and attempt to gain access to other user accounts or elevate privileges. The reasons for this vulnerability being “resistant and persistent” is due to the following factors:
There’s a lot more impetus given to authentication than authorization in the design/architecture of an application. What’s worse is that authorization is a highly design centric activity that is usually done poorly. It’s not granular enough, it’s not comprehensive enough and its coverage is inadequate. So, its doomed to fail.
Direct Object Reference flaws can be deadly. They need to be understood and addressed the right way.
3. Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF/XSRF):
Cross Site Request Forgery is really an attack against Authentication. In short, an attacker is making the user do things the user never intended to do on your application. This could be anything from forcibly changing the user’s password to adding an unauthorized rule on a firewall web console. Most of the web apps we test, CSRF is a common finding. The effects of a CSRF are only aggravated with XSS on the same application. To developers who think that CSRF only works on browser based web apps, think again. Web Services can equally be affected by CSRF Attacks.
Disclaimer: What I have written above, is in no way a comprehensive list of application vulnerabilities. These are just the 3 applications that my team and I are seeing more frequently than others in modern applications. These vulnerabilities happen to be both resistant and persistent because they seem to either stay unmitigated (for long periods of time) |

Tales of Treasures: Slot Games with Rich Storylines
free-artFebruary 3, 20240 Comments
Slot products, usually referred to as one-armed bandits, have captivated the spirits and wallets of gamblers for decades. These famous games of chance will be the cornerstones of casinos, equally brick-and-mortar and online, offering a distinctive mixture of enjoyment, simplicity, and the allure of life-changing jackpots. The fundamental premise is easy – players rotate the reels, hoping for a profitable mix of representations that’ll turn into income rewards.
The development of slots is a amazing trip through time. From the basic mechanical slot devices with bodily reels to the electronic age of video slots, the has continually reinvented itself. Early slot devices included representations like fruits, bells, and bars, while contemporary slots offer complex themes, animations, and sound effects. That development has improved position gambling from a simple pastime to a successfully immersive and participating experience.
One of many defining options that come with position products is their dependence on Arbitrary Quantity Turbines (RNGs). These calculations make certain that each spin is independent and unknown, fostering an setting of fairness and chance. The unpredictability of slots attributes to their common attraction, attracting both novice people and veteran gamblers.
The variety within the world of slots is staggering. From classic three-reel slots reminiscent of the bygone period to complicated video slots with multiple paylines, benefit times, and interactive functions, there’s a position game for every taste. The variety in subjects is similarly extraordinary, ranging from historical civilizations and mythological reports to modern place tradition references.
Gradual jackpots include an extra coating of pleasure to slot gaming. These jackpots grow incrementally with each bet located, producing the possibility of life-altering wins. The appeal of hitting the jackpot has resulted in the generation of some of the very most iconic and sought-after slot games in the industry.
Large rollers are drawn to slots with higher volatility, where in fact the risks are higher, but so might be the possible rewards. On one other give, informal people can appreciate low-stakes slots with an emphasis on entertainment rather than enormous payouts. The flexibility in betting possibilities makes slots available to a wide selection of players.
The introduction of online casinos has further changed the position landscape. People can now appreciate their favorite slots from the comfort of their properties or on the run through mobile devices. That comfort has widened the reach of slot gaming, reaching readers internationally and presenting new years to the thrill of the spin.
Regardless of the recognition of slots, you will find continuous discussions about responsible gaming and the potential risks connected with extortionate play. Regulatory steps, self-exclusion possibilities, and responsible gambling initiatives aim to slot gacor hari ini reach a stability between activity and player well-being.
To conclude, slot devices stay an intrinsic area of the gambling world, supplying a active and ever-evolving gambling experience. From the simplicity of classic slots to the difficulty of contemporary movie slots, the enduring charm of slots is based on their capacity to supply entertainment, pleasure, and the tantalizing possibility of reaching the jackpot.… |

download slides (PDF)
The use of PDFs as a vector for the installation of malicious content has been on the rise over the last few years. This has been for numerous reasons, some of which are the ubiquity of the file format (not browser or platform dependent); the update mechanisms for Adobe; and also the many and various exploit kits.
Methods for detection and classification of malware have been focused on EXE, MS Office and HTML analysis and the lack of research in PDF is telling. In this paper we show some tips and tricks to help classification and detection of malicious PDFs. This will be achieved by both static and dynamic analysis of malicious files and Internet-derived corpuses of, potentially, clean files.
As well as communicating these results, the presentation will augment them with analysis of current threats and case studies of whole attacks. |
As cybersecurity issues have mounted, dual-use technologies have proliferated. These technologies can be used for legitimate and socially beneficial purposes. However, they can also undermine human rights depending on how they are deployed. For example, network traffic management technology such as deep packet inspection (DPI) and Internet filtering tools can be used legitimately for traffic management. However, they can also be used to undermine human rights by blocking political content or intercepting communications. Malicious software built for “lawful interception,” such as zero-day exploits, can lead to human rights abuses if there are improper safeguards or oversight mechanisms in place.
The proliferation of these dual-use technologies stems in part from an increase in private companies who create suites of technology that are ready to be deployed by law enforcement and security agencies, allowing any government to access capabilities that were previously difficult to obtain. This growing appetite for cybersecurity products and services has created a large and growing industry with proven abuse potential.
To help better understand how these technologies function, particularly in the context of human rights defenders and civil society organizations, Citizen Lab researchers have assembled an annotated bibliography. This document provides a high-level introduction to deep packet inspection, Internet filtering, and targeted intrusion dual-use technologies with the aim of familizaring the reader with their key technical features, the surrounding international human rights law framework, and some of the leading research to date on their deployment. The annotated bibliography also contains a glossary of defined technical terms that should help familiarize the reader with common language in this domain. |

Win the Cyberwar with a Zero Trust Architecture
July 13 @ 9:25 am - 10:10 am
In this presentation, John Kindervag, creator of the revolutionary Zero Trust Model of Cybersecurity, will discuss the concept of Zero Trust and explain how it can not only transform network security but function as a business enabler. Zero Trust is revolutionizing network security architecture because it is data-centric and designed to stop data breaches. Additionally, Zero Trust adds a layer of agility to modern networks that is impossible to do in traditional network designs. These 21st century networks have been adopted by government entities and large enterprises around the world.
Attendees will see an analogy of Cyberwarfare & Military Warfare. The differentiation among Grand Strategies, Strategies, Tactics, and Operations in Cyberware will be shared. The Zero Trust architecture approach, first proposed by Forrester Research, is intended to address this by promoting “never trust, always verify” as its guiding principle. With Zero Trust there is no default trust for any entity — including users, devices, applications, and packets — regardless of what it is and its location on or relative to the corporate network. By establishing Zero Trust boundaries that effectively compartmentalize different segments of the network, you can protect critical intellectual property from unauthorized applications or users, reduce the exposure of vulnerable systems, and prevent the lateral movement of malware throughout your network. |
Immediate parsing has its perks but it also comes with major downsides. As the source code is easily visible, everyone can read it. This can cause major security risks and hence the code needs to be protected.
Since you can’t hide your code but you can make it difficult to read for the user. But, if your code is easily readable and understandable to the user, the chances of your code being copied will be high. So, for this a number of techniques are used to alter your code without changing the functionality. The two most popular ways are:
First we will see what obfuscation is and tools available for it.
What is Obfuscation
Obfuscation is the technique of going through your source code, changing the variables and rearranging them, breaking the application logic and hiding the original algorithm.
An obfuscated code is difficult to understand and hence decreasing the security risk. Although the code can be deobfuscated, it’ll leave users with meaningless variables and hard to understand logic, with no comments, making it useless on large scale projects.
Let’s look at them one by one, and the features they provide:
Another tool available for this purpose is Uglify, that makes the program “unintelligent” without altering the functionality. Goal is to make it unreadable by compressing and renaming the variables and functions. It’s also irreversible.
Jscrambler increases the security of your code by adding various protecting layers like code locks and self-defending capabilities. Thus, making it unreadable for any stealer or hacker.
What is minify
Minify, also known as minification, is simply compressing your code in such a way that it removes all unnecessary characters without changing the functionality. These characters include white spaces, comments, unnecessary parenthesis or variable declaration etc. This makes the code difficult to understand and hence decreasing the risk of being copied.
There are several tools as well to perform this task, some of which are: |

3 Observing Live Request Headers with Firebug
Figure 3-4. Firebug inspecting request headers
Figure 3-5. Basic web request model
Threat modeling and trust boundary diagrams are a great exercise for assessing the
security of an application, but is a subject worthy of a book unto itself. However, the
first steps are to understand dependencies and how portions of the application fit together. This basic understanding provides quite a bit of security awareness without the
effort of a full assessment. For our purposes, we’re looking at something as simple as
what is shown in Figure 3-5. A browser makes a request, the server thinks about it, and
In fact, you’ll notice that your browser makes many requests on your behalf, even
though you requested only one page. These additional requests retrieve components
of the page such as graphics or style sheets. You may even see some variation just visiting
the same page twice. If your browser has already cached some elements (graphics, style
3.3 Observing Live Request Headers with Firebug | 37
sheets, etc.), it won’t request them again. On the other hand, by clearing the browser
cache and observing the request headers, you can observe every item on which this
You may notice the website requesting images from locations other than its own. This
is perfectly valid behavior, but does reveal an external dependency. This is exactly the
sort of trust issue that a test like this can reveal. What would happen if the origin site
which we’ll talk about in Chapter 12. If you’re retrieving confidential data, can someone
else do the same? Often, relying broadly on external resources like this is a warning
sign—it may not appear to be a security threat, but it hands control of your content
over to a third party. Are they trustworthy?
The request URL also includes any information in the query string, a common way to
pass parameters along to the web server. On the server side, they’re typically referred
to as GET parameters. These are perhaps the easiest items to tamper with, as typically
you can change any query string parameters right in the address bar of their browser.
Relying on the accuracy of the query string can be a security mistake, particularly when
values are easily predictable.
Relying on the query string
What happens if a user increments the following ID variable? Can she
see documents that might not be intended for her? Could she edit them?
Dissecting the request headers, the following variables are the most common:
Sometimes you’ll see Referer or Cookie, as well. The request header
specifications can be found at http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/
User-Agent is a particularly interesting request header, as it is used to identify which
browser you’re using. In this case, yours will probably include the words Mozilla and
Firefox somewhere in the string. Different browsers will have different User-Agent
strings. Ostensibly, this is so that a server may automatically customize a web page to
most, is easily spoofed. If you change it, you can browse the web as a Google Search
38 | Chapter 3: Basic Observation
Spider would see it; useful for search engine optimization. Or perhaps you’re testing a
web application intended to be compatible with mobile phone browsers—you could
find out what User-Agent these browsers send and test your application via a desktop
computer rather than a tiny mobile phone. This could save on thumb cramps, at least.
We discuss malicious applications of this spoofing in Recipe 7.8.
The Cookie headers may potentially reveal some very interesting insights as well. See
Chapter 4 to better identify basic encodings.
Web proxies are a valuable tool for security testing. WebScarab, used in the next recipe,
is a web proxy. If you’re new to the concept of web proxies, read on.
Proxies were originally conceived (and are still frequently used) to aggregate web traffic
through a single inbound or outbound server. That server then performs some kind of
processing on the web traffic before passing the browser’s request to the ultimate web
server. Web browsers (e.g., Internet Explorer and Firefox) explicitly understand the
idea of using a proxy. That is, they have a configuration option for it and allow you to
configure the browser to route all its traffic through the proxy. The browser actually
connects to the proxy and effectively says “Mr. Proxy, please make a request to http://
www.example.com/ for me and give me the results.”
Because they are in between browsers and the real web server, proxies can intercept
messages and either stop them or alter them. For instance, many workplaces block
“inappropriate” web traffic via a proxy. Other proxies redirect traffic to ensure optimal
usage among many servers. They can be used maliciously for intermediary attacks,
where an attacker might read (or change) confidential email and messages. Figure 3-6 shows a generic proxy architecture, with the browser directing its requests
through the proxy, and the proxy making the requests to the web server.
Figure 3-6. General proxy concept
As testing tools, particularly security testing tools, they allow us to deeply inspect and
have complete control over the messages flowing between our web browser and the
web application. You will see them used in many recipes in this book.
3.3 Observing Live Request Headers with Firebug | 39
WebScarab is one such security-focused web proxy. WebScarab differs slightly from
the typical web proxy in two distinct ways. First of all, WebScarab is typically running
on the same computer as the web client, whereas normal proxies are set up as part of
the network environment. Secondly, WebScarab is built to reveal, store, and manipulate security-related aspects of HTTP requests and responses.
3.4 Observing Live Post Data with WebScarab
POST requests are the most common method for submitting large or complex forms.
Unlike GET values, we can’t just look at the URL at the top of our web browser window
to see all the parameters that are passed. Parameters are passed over the connection
from our browser to the server. We will have to use a tool to observe the input instead.
(such as integers, URLs, HTML formatted text) allows you to construct appropriate
security test cases or abuse cases.
POST data can be elusive, in that many sites will redirect you to another page after
receiving the data itself. POST data can be helpful by preventing you from submitting
the same form twice when you press the Back button. However, this redirect makes it
difficult to grab the post data directly in FireBug, so instead we’ll try another tool:
WebScarab requires you to adjust your Firefox settings, as seen in Figure 3-7. Once it
has been configured to intercept data, it can be used for any recipe in this chapter. It’s
that powerful, and we highly recommend it.
In order to configure Firefox to use WebScarab, follow these steps:
1. Launch WebScarab.
2. Select Tools → Options from the menu (Windows, Linux) or press ⌘-, (Cmdcomma) to activate Firefox preferences on Mac OS. The Firefox preferences menus
are shown in Figure 3-7.
3. Select the Advanced tab, and then the Network tab inside that.
4. From there, click Settings, and set up a manual proxy to localhost, with port 8008.
5. Apply this proxy server to all protocols.

Figure 3-7. Setting up Firefox to use the WebScarab proxy
Then, to use WebScarab to observe POST data:
1. Browse to a page that uses a POST form. You can recognize such a form by viewing
its source (see Recipe 3.1) and looking for specific HTML. If you find the |
Tpl Dataflow (ISourceBlock) – Part 3
the previous post discus the concept ITargetBlock
which is the TDF consumer contract.
this post will focus on the source block which is the producer contract.
as mention in previous post, sources and targets engage in a protocol for transferring messages between them.
the source block main responsibility is to produce (or manipulate) data which will be consume by the target.
as we learn in previous post the target may consume the data either directly (push) or indirectly (pull).
a target can be attached to source using the ISourceBlock<T> LinkTo method :
link to provide the ability to link one or more targets to a source, this is how we can build a Dataflow network.
when target is linked to sources the sources automatically propagate any data they contain to targets (asynchronously upon the source distribution strategy).
Detaching linked target from a source:
the LinkTo method returns a IDisposable which can be use to detach the target from the source (at nay time).
actually we can dynamically change the Dataflow network at runtime while attaching and detaching blocks.
When source push data to a target, the protocol employed may allow the target to simply accept and take ownership on the offered data, or it may require the target to communicate back to the source (pull).
see the previous post for more details.
when a target is pulling data out of one or more sources it may have to ensure that the data does not simultaneously consumed by other targets.
it is getting even more complicate when a target try to atomically consume messages from multiple sources (which mean either succeeding to consume all messages on none).
by using the two-phase commit protocol the target can atomically consume multiple messages (from one or more sources).
the ISourceBlock<T> define the following methods in order to enable two-phase commit protocol:
- ConsumeMeassage (commit)
- ReserveMessage (prepare)
- ReleaseMessage (roll-back)
Two-phase commit in action:
when target want to atomically consume messages from one or more sources:
- it try to reserve the messages on each source (the message header has the message identifier).
- if it failed to reserve one of the messages, it should release other reservation using ReleaseResarvation (roll back).
- if all reservation succeed it can safely consume the messages, using ConsumeMessage (commit).
even without two-phase commit, the ConsumeMessage design to handle race condition.
when ever we call the consume message, the source block assign the consume message’s messageConsumed out parameter to indicate whether the consume operation has succeed. this way the source can ensure that the message will be consume by a single target and avoid race conditions.
using the TDF source and target contract we can apply push and pulling strategy while avoiding race condition.
in the following posts I will speak about the blocks house keeping contract and propagating. |
Data Security in Internet of Things (IOT)
Internet of Things (IoT) is a giant network of connected physical devices to internet. As a result, security,
specifically the ability to detect compromised nodes, as well as gathering and storing evidence of an attack or malicious
activity, emerges as a top priority for effective IoT network deployment. There are various issues in internet of things
security that are demanding for solutions, such as RFID tag security, wireless security, network transmission security,
privacy protection and information processing security. In this paper the major components of IoT is presented. We
emphasize on data security issues in IoT network and tried to provide remedies of security issues. We developed a
framework in python to prevent the issues. Logistic regression, a machine learning algorithm is used for analysis which
comprises of various folds to read data and execute the algorithm.

Swear by many webmasters and hosting providers Therefore on firewalls and virus scanners without knowing that these programs serve only to limit the damage, but not tackle the root cause. As long as software (such as a content management or an operating system) is programmed by people, she will include error error which can be eradicated only through subsequent correction work. For this reason, it is absolutely essential to play these corrections in the form of security updates as soon as possible. So, your system will remain vulnerable to attacks. Always make in the Internet reports of attacks on content management systems (CMS) the round that could have been avoided by intense updating. A precedent-setting case occurred in February 2009, when the personal website of the CDU political leader Wolfgang Schauble was an unlawful assault by activists of the Arbeitskreis Vorratsdatenspeicherung victim.
The attackers took advantage of a known vulnerability in the management software of TYPO3 and deformed with a visible link to the online presence of the own the Web site of the CDU politician (Figure 1). Ebay does not necessarily agree. At this time already existing security update would have prevented this attack. In this example, the damage although considered within bounds, it makes but clearly, how easily and quickly you can run an attack. That this scenario is not uncommon, was by the black has confirmed Security Conference in Las Vegas. There, a study was presented in approximately one million sites using the software were checked elephant blind on their safety.
The result: There was not a single content management system, which revealed no critical vulnerabilities (pictures 2 5). A further example is the immature authentication during the registration procedure of the ProFTPD Server (up to version 1.2.8) in 2003. At that time, the runlevel IT professionals recognized an error that allowed a poor query by user name and password, without corresponding login information to login and access the database. |

What Does Domain-Based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance Mean?
Domain-Based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) is a white-list system for email communications meant to limit different types of email-based hacking or fraudulent activities such as email spoofing.
DMARC relies on the Sender Policy Framework (SPF) and DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) resources to stop various kinds of phishing, spamming and abuse of email messaging systems.
Techopedia Explains Domain-Based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance
Part of the idea behind DMARC is that a large percentage of email comes through various network territories of major tech companies and other large firms.
All these firms have contributed to this system for authenticating email and making sure that emails are coming from legitimate sources.
The Online Trust Alliance tracks the adoption of DMARC and releases reports showing various data for email routing. A current draft of DMARC is maintained by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
Along with heuristic email filtering systems and other tools, DMARC and similar programs can limit the amount of unauthenticated or illegitimate email that floods inboxes. |
Potential Phishing Incident Analysis
When a phishing attempt is reported to the SOC, D3 can trigger an automated phishing playbook that parses out the elements of the email, including potentially malicious URLs. The URLs are then checked against Google Safe Browsing. Other indicators are checked against third-party threat intelligence, Chronicle data, the MITRE ATT&CK Matrix, and historical incident data. If the email is confirmed as a genuine incident, D3 can then orchestrate the appropriate response actions across Gmail and other integrated tools. |
How to enforce and monitor compliance with your firewall policy
Firewalls are a critical component of any organization’s network security infrastructure. It acts as a barrier between a trusted internal network and untrusted external networks, and helps prevent unauthorized access to or from the network. However, just having a firewall is not enough. It is equally important to enforce and monitor compliance with the firewall policy to ensure its effectiveness. In this article we will discuss how to enforce and monitor compliance with your firewall policy.
Define a clear firewall policy
The first step in enforcing and monitoring compliance with your firewall policy is to define a clear, comprehensive firewall policy. This policy should define the rules and guidelines for using the firewall, including what traffic is allowed or disallowed, how the firewall is configured, and who is responsible for managing and monitoring the firewall. Without a clear firewall policy, it will be difficult to enforce and monitor compliance.
Implementing the change management process
Once a firewall policy is in place, it is important to implement a change management process to ensure that any changes to the firewall configuration are properly approved and documented. This process should include a formal request and approval process for changes to the firewall, as well as a review and testing process to ensure that the changes do not result in security vulnerabilities.
Use firewall management tools
A variety of firewall management tools are available that can help you enforce and monitor compliance with your firewall policy. These tools can provide visibility into the current state of the firewall, including its configuration, rule sets, and traffic logs. In addition, some tools can automate the firewall policy enforcement process by detecting and blocking unauthorized traffic, as well as generating alerts for policy violations.
Review firewall logs regularly
Monitoring compliance with your firewall policy requires regularly reviewing firewall logs to identify any unauthorized or suspicious activity. Firewall logs can provide valuable information about traffic passing through the firewall, including the source and destination of the traffic, the type of traffic, and any traffic that is denied or blocked. By regularly reviewing your firewall logs, you can quickly identify and respond to any policy violations.
Conduct regular firewall audits
In addition to regularly reviewing firewall logs, it is important to perform regular firewall audits to ensure that the firewall is configured and operating as intended. A firewall audit should include a comprehensive review of the firewall’s configuration, rule sets, and traffic logs to identify any misconfigurations, outdated rules, or other issues that may affect the effectiveness of the firewall. Any issues identified during the audit must be addressed immediately to maintain compliance with firewall policy.
Training and educating firewall administrators
Enforcing and monitoring compliance with your firewall policy also requires the right people with the right skills. It is important to provide proper training and education to firewall administrators to ensure they are aware of firewall policy and how to enforce and monitor compliance. This training should cover topics such as firewall configuration best practices, how to interpret firewall logs, and how to respond to policy violations.
Create key performance indicators (KPIs)
To measure the effectiveness of your firewall policy enforcement and compliance monitoring efforts, it is important to create key performance indicators (KPIs) that can be used to track progress over time. KPIs can include metrics such as the number of unauthorized access attempts blocked by the firewall, the rate of policy violations identified through firewall logs, and the average time to respond to policy violations.
Report policy violations and their consequences
Finally, it is important to communicate policy violations and their consequences to all stakeholders within the organization. This includes notifying users and administrators about policy violations, as well as the potential impact of non-compliance. By promoting awareness of firewall policy and its importance, you can help encourage compliance and deter unauthorized activity.
Enforcing and monitoring compliance with your firewall policy is essential to keeping your network secure. By defining a clear firewall policy, implementing a change management process, using firewall management tools, regularly reviewing firewall logs, performing regular audits, training and educating administrators, creating KPIs, and communicating policy violations and their consequences, you can ensure that the policy Your firewall is effectively implemented and compliant with the organization’s security requirements. |

What is Cryptotes ransomware? And how does it carry out its attack?
Cryptotes ransomware is one of the latest crypto-virus discovered early in February 2019. After security experts analyzed the source code of this crypto-virus, it was found that Cryptotes ransomware is a new variant of Rotorcrypt ransomware. Nothing much has changed in this new variant as it still target files with the following extensions:
.csv, .doc, .ppt, .xls, .avi, .bak, .bmp, .dbf, .djvu, .docx, .exe, .flv, .gif, .jpeg, .jpg, .mdb, .sql, .mdf, .odt, .pdf, .png, .pps, .pptm, .pptx, .psd, .rar, .raw, .tif, .txt, .vob, .xlsb, .xlsx, .zip
The only notable difference between this new Rotorcrypt variant and its predecessors is that it uses .cryptotes extension in marking the files it encrypts. It still follows the same sequence of attack once it infiltrates a computer. It employs a data harvesting module used to gather data from the compromised system. The data harvested is used for the stealth protection module which is the one that bypasses any security programs installed in the computer and disables or removes them to prevent them from interfering with the attack. Moreover, Cryptotes ransomware also modifies some entries in the Windows Registry like the Run and RunOnce keys in order to automatically run each time the infected computer boots.
Once it starts the encryption, it uses a combination of AES and RSA ciphers. After encrypting its targeted files, it adds the .cryptotes extension to every affected file. It also drops a file named “readme.txt” containing the following content:
“ROTO Readme file ROTO Readme file ROTO Readme file ROTO Readme file ROTO Readme file ROTO Readme file ROTO Readme file ROTO Readme file ROTO Readme file”
If you are one of the unfortunate victims of this crypto-malware, know that paying the ransom won’t guarantee the recovery of your files. In fact, you might end up losing money for nothing which is why the best way to deal with this kind of threat is by terminating it from your computer first and then try out alternative ways to recover your encrypted files.
How is the malicious payload of Cryptotes ransomware disseminated over the web?
Like other variants of RotorCrypt, the malicious payload of Cryptotes ransomware is disseminated via spam emails. Usually, malware-laden emails are contain some attention-grabbing subject meant to lure users into opening the email and downloading its attachment, so when you receive such email you best be deleting it rather than opening it if you want to keep your computer safe from ransomware threats like Cryptotes ransomware ransomware.
Obliterate Cryptotes ransomware from your compromised PC with the help of the following removal instructions.
Step 1: First, tap the Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys in your keyboard to open the Task Manager.
Step 2: After opening the Task Manager, go to the Processes tab and look for a process named “launcher.exe” as well as any suspicious-looking process that takes up most of your CPU’s resources and is most likely related to Cryptotes ransomware.
Step 3: After that, close the Task Manager.
Step 4: Tap Win + R, type in appwiz.cpl and click OK or tap Enter to open Programs and Features under Control Panel.
Step 5: Under the list of installed programs, look for Cryptotes ransomware or anything similar and then uninstall it.
Step 6: Next, close Control Panel and tap Win + E keys to launch File Explorer.
Step 7: Navigate to the following locations below and look for the malicious components of Cryptotes ransomware such as readme.txt, [random].exe and other suspicious files, then delete all of them.
Step 8: Close the File Explorer.
Before you proceed to the next steps below, make sure that you are tech savvy enough to the point where you know exactly how to use and navigate your computer’s Registry. Keep in mind that any changes you make will highly impact your computer. To save you the trouble and time, you can just use Advanced System Repair, this system tool is proven to be safe and excellent enough that hackers won’t be able to hack into it. But if you can manage Windows Registry well, then by all means go on to the next steps.
Step 9: Tap Win + R to open Run and then type in regedit in the field and tap enter to pull up Windows Registry.
Step 10: Navigate to the following path:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\
- HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop\
Step 11: Delete the registry keys and sub-keys created by Cryptotes ransomware.
Step 12: Close the Registry Editor and empty the Recycle Bin.

Restoring your encrypted files using Windows’ Previous Versions feature will only be effective if Cryptotes ransomware hasn’t deleted the shadow copies of your files. But still, this is one of the best and free methods there is, so it’s definitely worth a shot.
To restore the encrypted file, right-click on it and select Properties, a new window will pop-up, then proceed to Previous Versions. It will load the file’s previous version before it was modified. After it loads, select any of the previous versions displayed on the list like the one in the illustration below. And then click the Restore button.
Complete the removal process of Cryptotes ransomware by using a trusted and reliable program like Advanced System Repair. Refer to the following guidelines on how to use it.
Perform a full system scan using asr. To do so, follow these steps:
- Turn on your computer. If it’s already on, you have to reboot it.
- After that, the BIOS screen will be displayed, but if Windows pops up instead, reboot your computer and try again. Once you’re on the BIOS screen, repeat pressing F8, by doing so the Advanced Option shows up.
- To navigate the Advanced Option use the arrow keys and select Safe Mode with Networking then hit
- Windows will now load the Safe Mode with Networking.
- Press and hold both R key and Windows key.
- If done correctly, the Windows Run Box will show up.
- Type in the URL address, https://www.fixmypcfree.com/download.php?asr in the Run dialog box and then tap Enter or click OK.
- After that, it will download the program. Wait for the download to finish and then open the launcher to install the program.
- Once the installation process is completed, run asr to perform a full system scan.
- After the scan is completed click the “Fix, Clean & Optimize Now” button. |
Advances in Computer Network Intrusion Detection
Researchers from Oxford University’s Computing Laboratory have developed techniques to spot malicious attacks on computer networks, that include the use of Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) techniques to automatically determine the semantics of novel attack strategies.
Intrusions often take place where there are vulnerabilities within computer systems. For example, one of the most common of these is the buffer overflow, where an attacker sends overly long transactions to a server. The aim is to overflow the server’s buffer with code that runs automatically, allowing the attacker to execute malicious commands via the network.
A recent example was the “Code Red” worm released on Friday 13th July 2001. The attack caused havoc for programmes running on Microsoft Internet Information Server and slowed down Internet traffic considerably. No one was able to stop it automatically; few recognised what strategy the attack was using and system administrators had to look for it manually in the registers of their systems.
Existing [firewall and security] systems try to detect malicious transactions by comparing the signatures of known attacks. However, attackers can simply change subtle parameters in their attack, without altering the strategy they are using, and easily thwart such systems. Importantly, few technologies have been implemented to detect broad classes of attack strategies or to automatically generate detection strategies by learning from novel attacks.
Code Red proved that self-replicating attacks are dangerous and that systems are vulnerable. Current detection methods based on attack signatures rely on the manual analysis of registers and logs and are ineffective in the long term.
The semantic intrusion detection system developed at Oxford uses general rules rather than signatures to determine whether transactions are attempting to use a known attack strategy. Furthermore, such general rules can be generated from examples of attack attempts using the technology of ILP. An ILP system relies on knowledge represented as sets of general rules which are used explain new examples of intrusions and little interaction is required once this knowledge has been imparted.
Oxford University’s technology transfer company, Isis Innovation, has filed a UK patent application on the principles behind this invention and is interested to hear from companies that wish to license this technology for further development.

MAC Address Autochange Methods for Supporting Anonymity in VANETs
Establishment and focus: This study proposes a method that a vehicle can automatically change its MAC address for anonymity in vehicle communication system. After a shared key is established between the two cars participating in the communication, the two cars can use this shared key to generate and use a large number of new MAC addresses. Vehicles not participating in the communication cannot know the newly changed medium access control (MAC) address, thereby ensuring anonymity of the vehicle communication.
System: The sender and the receiver can calculate hv(i) = HMACSHA512(rs, CertA, CertB) using the shared secret number rs, and can generate up to 10 MAC addresses in one hv(i). The HMAC used for the calculation of each hv(i) uses rs which is secretly shared by the sender and receiver, so that the attacker cannot find out the generated MAC address. In this study, it is assumed that the vehicle communication system is made according to the IEEE WAVE standard. Therefore, the key value is shared between the transmitter and the receiver by using ECIES (Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme). However, even if this study is used in a different environment, the results of the study can be applied as long as the transmitting and receiving vehicles share the same key value. The vehicle transmitting the MAC frame can guarantee anonymity of the vehicle communication by arbitrarily changing its MAC address. |

There exists a multitude of implemented, as well as envisioned, use cases for the Internet of Things (IoT) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Some of these use cases would benefit from the collected data being globally accessible to: (a) authorized users only; and (b) data processing units through the Internet. Much of the data collected, such as location or personal identifiers, are of a highly sensitive nature. Even seemingly innocuous data (e.g., energy consumption) can lead to potential infringements of user privacy.
The infrastructure of the Internet of Things (IoT) with its diversity of devices and applications, as well as the trend towards a separation of sensor network infrastructure and applications exacerbates security risks. A true end-to-end security solution is therefore required to achieve an adequate level of security for IoT. Protecting data once they leave the boundaries of a local network is not sufficient, especially when private and high-risk information are effected.
However, IoT is no longer limited to servers, routers, and computers with manifold resources. It also includes constrained devices – motes –, which are very limited in memory (approximately 10-50 KByte RAM and 100-256 KByte ROM), computational capacity, and power (supported by just a few AA batteries). These limited resources do not reduce the need to support end-to-end security and secure communications, but they make it much harder to meet these requirements. Depending on the specific resources of these devices, the goal of secure WSNs is to support end-to-end security by a two-way authentication, an efficient data transport solution for the data, and a controlled data access, supporting the mobility of today’s users. Thus, different components were developed in the construction of SecureWSN and are illustrated in Figure 1. All components support hardware from different vendors with different resources. Different security solutions (TinySAM, TinyDTLS , or TinyTO ) were developed that are based on known algorithms from IP networks, like DTLS and BCK, and required adaptation (e.g., complexity) to fit these resources whilst supporting a heterogonous network structure.
Figure 1: Architecture and Components of SecureWSN.
Today, with so much personal information online, end-to-end security is essential in many situations. This represents the challenge for constrained devices usually used in WSNs. SecureWSN tackles this challenge by developing three solutions for different types of resources.
TinyDTLS protects data from its source to the sink supporting confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity. RSA-capable (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) devices are authenticated via X.509 certificates during the key-exchange in a two-way authentication handshake. Constrained devices perform a variant of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) pre-shared key algorithm. The data sink authenticates via certificate either directly with the mote or with an Access Control Server (ACS). ACS grants tickets to authenticated devices with sufficient rights. Motes request connection from their communication partner where key establishment is based on DTLS .
In comparison, TinyTO uses a Bellare-Canetti-Krawcyk (BCK) handshake with pre-shared keys. For the key generation, key exchange, signatures, and encryption, the Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is used . Thus, this solution saves resources and does not require a Certificate Authority (CA). It was shown that 192-bit ECC keys are as secure as 1024-bit to 2048-bit RSA keys, which makes TinyTO a suitable alternative to TinyDTLS, supporting the same security functionality.
As sufficient resources are not always available to support the end-to-end security requirement, TinySAM was developed to support a one-way authentication. TinySAM uses the Otway-Rees key establishment protocol modified by the Abadi and Needham algorithm, where all nodes have an AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) key pair known by the key server. Two nodes build an individual session key pair for secure data exchange.
Owing to the diversity of applications and the amount of collected data, all these solutions also support aggregation in order to use the limited bandwidth (102 byte on MAC layer in IEEE 802.15.4) and energy as efficient as possible.
Data collected in WSNs consists of stable meta-information and sensor readings periodically measured and sent out in one message resulting in redundancy. Thus, the push-based Internet Protocol Flow Information Export (IPFIX) protocol serves optimization by dividing data into two small messages (template record and data record). The resulting TinyIPFIX protocol includes special template records for motes and supports aggregation. Necessary header compression options were developed to reduce the overhead by required IPFIX headers .
Additionally, the SecureWSN approach includes the WSN configuration, management, and data handling of the WNS’s owner by ‘clicking buttons’, all termed CoMaDa. CoMaDa works with a virtual representation of the real WSN network, displaying in real-time: (1) data collected and (2) the network status, as well as allowing for (3) mote updates (e.g., the degree of aggregation). The dedicated WebMaDa component publishes the WSN data in the Internet and allows anyone who is authorized and has the appropriate credentials and rights, to view the WSNs.
SecureWSN consists of different modules supporting different end-to-end security modes, efficient data transport, aggregation, and controlled data access functionality. These solutions, which are currently available, are highly flexible, since each mechanism that is implemented can be selected depending on the requirements of the applications and hardware. As such, the approach of SecureWSN benefits any kind of IoT application that demands secure end-to-end support.
Continued work in this area will include further module developments and enhancements, such as pull requests and ECC optimizations. Parts of SecureWSN were developed within EU projects SmartenIT and FLAMINGO and are part of the standardization process.

This article describes the area blocking function in Game Shield.
This function is based on the IP address library. It directly discards the relevant regional SYN packets.
It mainly provides the following areas blocking:
- China (accurate to the province/state)
- High-risk IDC area
- What is the precision of the area-blocking IP address library? Are there ever mistaken blocks?
There is a certain amount of mistaken blocks, but the IP precision is above 99.9%. The area block function is enabled based on your requirements.
- What is the high-risk IDC area? Will there be any updates?
The high-risk IDC area is the IP address data calculated based on the data of full-scale connection flood attacks and IP reputation intercepted by Alibaba Cloud on a daily basis. Currently, the recognition rate under a large-scale connection flood attack is high (CC attacks consume real IPs. Since broiler resources are limited, and IDC is fixed compared to IPs, IDC broiler resource pool can be generated through data accumulation). This data is currently updated every 24 hours.
- Since the IP address library is very large, does it affect the protection performance of Game Security Gateway?
The Game Security Gateway provides million-level IP blacklist and whitelist. The actual test shows that the performance consumption of million-level blacklist and whitelist can be ignored.
During attacks, we find that directly intercepting SYN data through the IP blacklist increases the protection capability of Game Security Gateway, because it does not get into the TCP protocol stack, which is performance-consuming. |
