Google Anti-Malware website

Google has launched a new website Anti-Malvertising which is customized search engine. It lists all the incidents related to that particular website in the past when it was used for downloading any malware. The Google Safe Browsing Diagnostic page will show you the following points related to your search:

  • What happened when Google visited sites hosted on this network?
  • Has this network hosted sites acting as intermediaries for further malware distribution?
  • Has this network hosted sites that have distributed malware?
The search engine checks third-party sites that track ad malware.

For example following is the result of a search action:


What happened when Google visited sites hosted on this network?

Of the 725 site(s) we tested on this network over the past 90 days, 127 site(s), including, for example, infinityyachts.in/, geospafitness.com/, aroundalibag.com/, served content that resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent.

The last time Google tested a site on this network was on 2009-06-21, and the last time suspicious content was found was on 2009-06-21.

Has this network hosted sites acting as intermediaries for further malware distribution?

Over the past 90 days, we found 1 site(s) on this network, including, for example, unificap.com/, that appeared to function as intermediaries for the infection of 1 other site(s) including, for example, unifiwealth.com/.

Has this network hosted sites that have distributed malware?

Yes, this network has hosted sites that have distributed malicious software in the past 90 days. We found 2 site(s), including, for example, titl-global.com/, unificap.com/, that infected 2 other site(s), including, for example, technocraftgroup.com/, unifiwealth.com/.

So it's very helpful in detecting any website's current status or past infections and past history of serving malware. You may visit that website after tracking how frequent it is infected by a malware.

Ardilla- New tool for finding SQL Injection and XSS

Three Researchers -- MIT's Adam Kiezun , Stanford's Philip Guo , and Syracuse University's Karthick Jayaraman -- has developed a new tool ' Ardilla ' that automatically finds and exploits SQL injection and cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in Web applications. It creates inputs that pinpoint bugs in Web applications and then generates SQL injection and XSS attacks. But for now Ardilla is for PHP -based Web app only. The researchers say Ardilla found 68 never-before found vulnerabilities in five different PHP applications using the tool -- 23 SQL injection and 45 XSS flaws. More information is awaited. For their attack generation techniques refer to their document at: http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/mernst/pubs/create-attacks-tr054.pdf

File Upload through Null Byte Injection

Sometimes, during file upload we come across situation wherein there would be check on the file extension at the client side as well as server side too. If the application does allow only .jpeg extension to be uploaded, the client side java script checks for the extension of the file before passing the request. We all know that how easily this can be defeated. Some applications, checks for the extension at the server side also. That's not easy to bypass. However there are some ways with which it still can be bypassed. Most of server side scripts are written in high level languages such as Php, Java etc who still use some C/C++ libraries to read the file name and contents. That leads to the problem. In C/C++ a line ends with /00 or which is called Null Byte. So whenever the interpreter sees a null byte at the end of the a string, it stops reading thinking it has reached at the end of the string. This can be used for the bypass. It works for many servers, specially php servers. T

jtool - an alternative to otool

jtool comes with a capability of running on Linux environment. Some ipa scanning tools are created to run on Linux environment where mac environment is not available. In such cases tools such as otool and class-dump-z will not work. So jtool can be an alternative to otool. For more information on jtool please refer to http://www.newosxbook.com/tools/jtool.html . It lists down various commands which have same output as otool or a equivalent. There are several commands mentioned in link. But for our customized requirements and basis checks I have listed down the below ones after running on many binaries. The outputs are similar or equivalent to otool and class-dump-z: Commands for checking PIE flag (ASLR) in jTool jtool -d -v -arch | grep stack ·           Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) protection: jtool -d -v -arch | grep _objc_release ·           To check if the device is jailbroken: jtool -d -v -arch | grep jail ·           Dyldinfo compatible options
