The attack on Kaspersky – PC World

London, 11 June 2015 year: Eugene Kaspersky joins the
 afternoon to perhaps the most difficult task since its founding
 company. Before accumulated specialized press delivers a message
 in which it is difficult to believe: the virus infiltrated the systems’
 Kaspersky!

Advanced worm

Kaspersky trying to explain what happened: allegedly carried out
 internal testing of prototype software to recognize the new
 developed very sophisticated pests. Then had come
 to detect the virus in their systems, which according
 Kaspersky could become a model for new generation
 Virus . Experts call them at a glance Apart from words Advanced
 Persistent Threats, or advanced persistent threats.

Who’s behind them? – Special services or other institutions
 State – corresponds to the Kaspersky virus expert. Did not want to
 more to say about this, but some information can be read
 between the lines: Kaspersky nadmieniał repeatedly that
 Duqu worm is a development . And the Trojan won
 already notoriety in 2011, when the company’s computers infected in
 Europe and meticulously steal information from the system
 industry. Many experts assume today that the Trojan derived
 from the ranks of the Israeli special services.

According to Kaspersky his successor, Duqu 2.0 very precisely
 retrieves information: interested mainly in state
 development of the latest and future security and wants to know
 Technical experts what strategies they want to use against
 the latest ATP.

Economy and politics targeted

Further analysis showed that Kaspersky was not the only target.
 The problem also applies to companies in Russia, countries of West Asia and the
 Middle East. 2.0 Duqu was also sniffing around, even in circles
 political. According to Kaspersky Duqu 2.0 activated during
 nuclear negotiations Group 5 + 1 countries with Iran. In addition to this
 the authors of the attack were interested in the commemoration of the anniversary of the liberation
 Auschwitz Concentration Camp, and especially prominent
 participants in the festivities.

Why is this pest is another

From the point of view of researchers viruses attack in this form is
 hitherto unprecedented phenomenon. Their amazement sparked the fact that
 The worm almost does not leave traces: do not leave on your hard
 Disk files or change system settings. Embeds itself
 only in memory. – If you unplug PC and
 will cut it from its power, the Trojan disappears – says Kaspersky.

Duqu 2.0 is as Aliens, The Terminator and Predator
 put together

Eugene Kaspersky, head of Kaspersky Labs

To enter the system, Duqu 2.0 used three vulnerabilities
 Windows security at a time that has already been cleared by
 Microsoft. For news about such rear wickets special services
 and cybercriminals are paying large sums – is another clue
 indicating that for Duqu 2.0 is a powerful
 organization.

Is Kaspersky is still safe?

Regardless of who is behind the attack, users Company
 Kaspersky arises one question: how safe are the solutions
 the company’s anti-virus on your home PC? Is stolen
 information about the mechanisms of protective security packages
 guarding millions of computers around the world? Finally virus
 He prevailed in January and until recently how much he could spy
 your heart desires. Eugene Kaspersky rejects this possibility.
 He says that issue does not affect customers, and that
 the authors of the attack did not it was not . In addition to this
 modern virus scanners already recognize Duqu 2.0.

Duqu code
 2.0 exists only in memory. Currently Trojan
 already recognize modern virus scanners.

Kaspersky trying to point out the positive aspects of the event,
 arguing that as a result of the attack gained valuable knowledge in order to
 improving the efficiency of their own products. – Attacked
 us because we are the best – says Kaspersky.

Is it reassures customers? For not fully convinced solid
 Readers Computer World from number 9/2015 is available
 G DATA antivirus package for free for one year. This German company
 He says that so far there are no clues pointing to
 2.0 Duqu infection.

The fight exacerbated

The case Kaspersky shows that viruses have become powerful
 weapon in the hands of special services and mark the beginning of a new era.
 in which a digital arms race is becoming more dangerous.
 Private users should also be afraid, because it’s just a matter of
 the time when ordinary hackers learn to use the new
 technologies for their benefits.

Being a victim, it’s easy to lose control

Ralf
 Benzmüller, head of Security Labs at G DATA

Computer World : Do you explored your systems
 for signs of Duqu 2.0?

Ralf Benzmüller : Regularly we examine our
 systems for the presence of spy tools disclosed in the road
 Special analysis. Duqu 2.0 so far not found.

Is the Lord known another case in which the company
 IT security industry suffered an attack?

No, we do not know of another case.

Is the same company G Data has already been used
 attacked?

Our servers – as well as third-party servers – still stand in
 focus of hackers. So far, always effective
 we managed to repel the attacks. Our employees are properly
 vigilant and immediately report suspicious messages.

How do you assess the openness with which Kaspersky announced
 about the case?

Who would have thought that this openness will be so well received
 by public opinion? Evil tongues say, however, that infection
 was a figment of the marketing department of Kaspersky.

Is the Lord’s point of view, Kaspersky can
 completely ruled out theft of proprietary systems
 security?

Being the victim of an attack charged therein precisely, it is easy to lose
 control over what actually happened. It is very difficult then
 formulate clear judgments.

He created spyware on Android. He faces 10 years … – Instalki.pl

Friday, 28 August 2015 8:55 Written by Wojtek Onyśków

 

Today, data security – especially in large corporations, is a priority. Precisely for this reason, companies are increasingly turning to advanced anti-virus solutions, with the help of specialists. But do you always have good intentions? Example Morgan Culbertson shows that not necessarily.

 

 

20-year-old Morgan Culbertson until recently worked as an intern at FireEye, which is a company dealing with cybersecurity. As it turned out, the intentions of the young specialists were completely different. He decided to create dendroid, or virus on Android, which allowed spying on others using the built-in webcams, eavesdropping with built-in microphones, and even capturing shots.

This application is sold for $ 300 on an underground forum Darkode. In March 2014 years dendroid source code was found in one of the applications available directly from Google Play. It is not known whether any other software also uses this solution.

Culbertson Morgan confessed to create an application before the court. He faces up to 10 years in prison and 250 thousand. dollar fine. The final judgment will be announced on 2 December.

Why answer the question for him was not obvious or pose any difficulty, “- explained Witkowski.

President of IC Solutions added that the company does not manufacture digital pens, but created its own innovative algorithm. Pen used in IC devices come from the Swedish supplier.

Thanks to the technology any observers from the OSCE will be able during his mission to automatically save and transmit observations in digital form to the headquarters in Vienna.

Upgrading to Windows 10 – watch out for malicious software … – Onet.pl

Abandonware

Homeoftheunderdogs.net – a popular website with abandonware

This issue can be summed up very briefly: abandonware legally does not exist. This is only a figment of Web users, who called such software and – above all – the game considered abandoned by their owners, which have either not there, or are not interested in providing support and earning on old products.
In contrast, however, there are abandonware orphan works, ie those whose owners can not be determined, but not expired to them copyrights . As a result, the works of these can not be made public, but legal access to them will be possible, eg. In libraries, universities or archives.

This type of license (or rather the method of sale) is well known among purchasers of computers, which are often sold as a set together with a “free” operating system. It all boils down, in this case the fact that the objective copy of the software is assigned to a specific component , or the entire computer, and its price is included in the price of the hardware.

That is why – according to the provisions of the license – upgrade your computer may be associated with loss of the right to use the software or operating system. The user also can not sell the software itself, which is then integral part of the equipment .

Box

Problems such does not make software sold in-a-Box (this is also a sales model and not the type of license!). It is a standalone and usually more expensive product , which you can install on any devices and unlimited transfer between them or install on a few – the number of posts set out in detail license.

Freeware

On the surface, everything here is obvious: after all, get a free product, with which we can use. Less obvious are additional restrictions – yes, we can use without spending a dime, but the owner of the software is made available as freeware can (and often does) stipulate that it is possible to use only for noncommercial purposes .

For example – after installing the editor EditPad Lite can draw from his lecture with a note and a list of things to do. But if we want to write an offer for the customer, we should pay 19.95 dollars. for the commercial license.

Freeware

This type of license is to allow the user familiarize yourself with the software before making a decision to buy. In practice, this means that the application can be used eg. For 30 days, or let it run a limited number of times. Some developers use restrictions, which then block the software or limit its functionality, eg. Excluding some function or by adding watermarks to documents.

Others did not bring such locks, counting on the good will of users. An example of such an approach include Total Commander or WinRAR, which users after a 30-day trial period should either remove the software or pay for further use.

Adware

This software is available usually for free or for a nominal fee. Its creators make money from ads, shown to users . This solution is experiencing a second youth through mobile platforms; before it was used, among others by GG, a long time ago – Version 8.50 – by the creators of the Opera. The browser was made available for free, but display a small banner ad.

GNU GPL (General Public License)

One of the key license that defines free software. For software can be called free, has to simultaneously meet four conditions , numbered from 0 to 3: user can run them in any order (0) analyze the action and customize to your needs (1), and distribute the unmodified copy (2) and distribute version with its own improvements (3).

The GPL is also known as viral license : all the work, using the works distributed under this license, it automatically must be based on GPL .

BSD

This developed at the University of Berkeley license is also compatible with free software. Compared with the GNU GPL key difference is the ability to protect the rights of authors: the works of the BSD license can be incorporated into other, also commercial products , including the proprietary software. The condition in this case the behavior of information about the author used the code and content BSD license, which was made available. Similar to the BSD is also the X11 license.

Licenses gift and beerware

One of the most interesting types of licenses are licenses Gift. With the software released in this way can be used without restriction when the condition , posed by the creator. It is usually send him a postcard, email or SMS (respectively postcard-, mail- or SMSware), or eg. Pay any user-selected amount to some useful purpose.
Worth mentioning is also licensed beerware: the user can free use of the software, but – when you meet his creator – is obliged to bring him beer .

Software created for Stephen Hawking now open and … – dobreprogramy

Stephen Hawking is a person that needs no introduction. Eminent cosmologist and theoretical physicist from whom even in the 60s was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, for years to communicate with the outside world uses the Intel system created by ACAT. The company has just made a decision that can change the lives of others suffering from this and other diseases – the software is open and available for free.

ACAT, which Assistive Context-Aware Toolkit is a system that by using, in the case of Hawking, the sensor placed in his cheek and a switch mounted infrared glasses scientist, predicts what he intends to say greatly reducing the time required for the synthesis of the words.

Analyzing the cheek muscle work is of course only one of the many methods which can be resorted system while recognizing and predicting the next word. It is possible, for example, an implementation that uses eye tracking, facial muscles or individual muscle contractions. The main reason for the decision on the release of Intel’s code of ACAT is to continue to develop further ways already by the community. Such an impulse gives you the chance that a particular person would be able to use the system implementation developed specifically for her, thus giving a chance for a better life to thousands of other people who were taken to the same body or face similar disabilities. The Communication Intel on this, read the following:

 Our hope is that by opening the code of the configurable platform, developers will continue to expand the system with new user interfaces, sensors, word prediction methods and other functions The. ACAT was created for machines with Windows and is compatible with a variety of sensors, such as infrared switches, camera, buttons and more.
 

Of course retrieval of information by means of sensors and actuators are only part of the way the ACAT. For the full functionality required engine is able to identify individual letters, combine them into morphemes, and then predict specific words and combine them into notice. An example of such software is Presage, also available for free.

Intel decided to make available tools that – to quote Stephen Hawking – life-changing . In addition to the publication of the program itself, along with its code in the repository GitHub, Intel udostęnił well as documentation that will allow for easier implementation of the system and tailor it to the specific needs of people with disabilities.

Lenovo computers did not allow to get rid of the extra … – Softonet

Additional software on computers sold with pre-installed Windows is the bane of many users. It would seem that the remedy for this blemish on the performance of Clean operating system installation, as it turns out, at Lenovo additional software automatically installing, even after such surgery.

crapware is unnecessary software bundled with computers sold with pre-installed Windows. Some of these applications not only takes up unnecessary disk space, but sometimes works in the background using computer resources. In one of our guides we wrote about how to get rid of such unwanted software (crapware), but some users still decides to perform a clean installation of Windows with media other than those provided by the hardware manufacturer, hoping to erase the hard drives or solid state media prevent installation of unwanted software. And so it is in theory, but not in the case of some computers sold by Lenovo. The Chinese giant has used cleverly designed tool for equipment manufacturers Windows Platform Binary Table (WPBT) by Microsoft designed for the possibility of adding the software UEFI eg. The application automatically installing operating systems software theft, even after a complete cleaning content HDD or SSD. This solution is designed to prevent the use of a computer, which has been blocked as a result of theft or loss. However, Lenovo has demonstrated creative and used this opportunity in a slightly different way.

One of the forum members Ars Technica website recently described their findings after performing clean Windows installation on one of the laptops from Lenovo. Despite the use of OEM of that DVD (containing only the operating system from Redmond), after the first time you connect your computer to the Internet appeared on the additional application normally served by a Chinese manufacturer – OneKey Optimizer. Quick investigation allowed us to identify the causes of such behavior laptop. Lenovo used as described earlier WPBT tool for substitution system file Autochk.exe is located in the C: Windows system32, which was made possible by zaszytemu in UEFI software. During the first run the new operating system, Microsoft’s not coming from the Autochk.exe file created two new services included in the Lenovo Service Engine (LSE) – LenovoUpdate.exe and LenovoCheck.exe that extracted the Internet and automatically and even install software without the user’s consent transmit to the server manufacturer’s containing data associated with a particular person Lenovo information to help you understand how visitors interact with their products .

This software behavior served by the Chinese producer is not only undesirable but also dangerous for the safety of users. Earlier this year detected a serious vulnerability in the mechanism and service WPBT LSE, allowing you to infect your computer with malware through swapping servers from which additional applications are downloaded. As a result of this discovery Microsoft developed for manufacturers of computer hardware new guidelines on the use of WPBT, and Lenovo in June resigned from the service LSE. All sold since then, the Chinese computer manufacturer no longer contain the UEFI additional software. In addition, on July 31 on the website of the Lenovo technical support were published two newsletters containing information about the UEFI firmware upgrade to use the LSE desktops and laptops.

And it would appear that everything is fine, if not for the fact that these newsletters were published quietly, and vulnerable to attacks Outside users were not informed about the need to update UEFI in order to remove the critical gaps in their computers. This is the second serious setback as Lenovo in recent months. The first was connected with that comes with computers preinstalled with the Windows operating system application Superfish. The list of sensitive use gaps in WPBT and LSE computers can be found below, and if your device on it lighter, we encourage you to as soon as possible off the LSE, software updates, BIOS / UEFI and take advantage of a utility for stripping additional files from the operating system.
