Multi-Boot Security LiveCD DVD

26 08 2008 Hacking

NERV-LABS subsidiary Badfoo.net has released quite the awesome DVD. Now, the lucky few of you who have suffered through my constant microsoft-bashing linux evangelism alright have heard about all the Multiboot LiveDVDs out there. Until now, they have all been booting various generic Linux distro. With the release of Badfoo’s LiveDVD, that has all changed:

 

MultiISO LiveDVD is an integrated Live DVD technology which combines some of the very popular Live CD ISOs already available on the internet. It can be used for security reconnaissance, vulnerability identification, penetration testing, system rescue, media center and multimedia, system recovery, etc. It’s a all-in-one multipurpose LiveDVD put together. There’s something in it for everyone. I hope you enjoy it.

OS Choices:

Backtrack 3
Damn Small Linux 4.2.5
GeeXBoX 1.1 (not geekbox :-P )
Damn Vulnerable Linux (Strychnine) 1.4
Knoppix 5.1.1
MPentoo 2006.1
Ophcrack 1.2.2 (with 720 mb tables)
Puppy Linux 3.01
Byzantine OS i586-20040404

Now add the awesome power of UNetBootin (Boot ISO via USB) and now you have a USB stick that boots multiple security related Linux operating systems. What do you have on your keychain?


DEFCON 16: The Tools not the Toools

All updates will reside here as I have no control over the article on Ziff Davis.

    DEFCON, the 9000+ attendee hacker conference in Vegas has become a sort of hydra conference. It has become more like a global fair than what most people think of conferences; even the badge is highly unique. I say this because there are so many things to do at DEFCON, other than going to talks, that you could spend your whole weekend looking at the “World’s Largest Boar!”, so to speak. One of the CTF (Capture the Flag) contest winners this year actually exclaimed that he only made it to 2 talks in 12 years! I am also one of those individuals who barely get a chance to go to talks and now that the speaker pool is so diverse it’s hard to find all of the “stuff” they release. Before anyone has a chance to post “It’s all on the DEFCON CD dummy” I want to challenge them to try. After a weekend of googling (which came back with few results) and making contact with some of the speakers, I provide you with a mostly accurate list of “stuff” that was released at DEFCON this year. If any of the information is inaccurate, or a tool is missing, please contact me and I will update this post.

The DEFCON CD can be found here: http://edge.i-hacked.com/defcon16-cd-iso-posted

Think you are good enough? The binaries from Capture the Flag have been posted here: http://nopsr.us/ctf2008/

Defcon presents come early!

06 08 2008 Hacking

So, just monitoring twitter for Defcon tweets and came across this one: Matthewneely status update 878833018

Screencap:

 

Link to video: HERE

So what is cool about this tool? It generates an SQL injection that skirts the 64k size limit using MS Debugger on the victim end.

And of course the DEFCON 16 via Wired Mag (Artcile)

 

 


ATT partially patched. Yay!

29 07 2008 Hacking

So, according to my iPhone, the DNS servers that it uses is patched. (209.183.33.23 - schinetdns.mycingular.net) However, when I tried to send an image of the doxpara page through email it gave me an SSL error and asked me to accept the certificate.... Um, no thank you. So, for the time being I will not be checking my email for a while, or for that matter anything I need to authenticate with. Too much? probably, but just erring on the side of caution. I will post the screen caps when I don’t have SSL errors.

H.D. Moore actually contacted ATT about the issue. Check out his post to twitter for the response they gave him:H.D. Moore vs. ATT

“reads a response from AT&T: ”We will investigate your complaint and take appropriate action.“ DNS server is now offline...”

Now I wonder how many iPhones out there have already clicked “Continue”

 

EDIT: Here is a weird thing, as soon as I dropped to the “EDGE” network, the email sent with no errors. So here is the image: (Remember, this was taken while on 3G)

 


iPhone + ATT + DNS = Bad Juju

22 07 2008 Hacking

So, now that your feed reader is full up of all the DNS problems, I would like to present you with one more tidbit. How many of you have checked your iPhone, Blackberry, or other web enabled mobile device against this vulnerability?  I did, and wasn’t happy.
