Ever wonder what security professionals see as their main barrier to achieving a strong application security posture? We wondered that, too, so we asked them. As part of F5 Labs’ first annual Application Protection Report, F5, in conjunction with Ponemon Institute, surveyed security professionals on a slew of security-related topics. In answer to this particular…
Read MoreMost don’t, according to BuiltWith, a site that tracks the technologies websites use. Based on its latest data, a paltry .2% of sites on the Internet include CSP headers. Digging further, 8.4% of the Quantcast Top 10,000 have used CSP headers. Which sounds better until you do the math. That’s only 840 sites. By…

Read MoreThreat actors continue to find creative yet relatively unsophisticated ways to launch new campaigns to reap profits from crypto-mining operations. Source link lol
Read MoreNote that each “while” loop is performing string decryption on the sequences of bytes shown in the variables above the loop. When following the execution in a debugger, the strings are decrypted, and some meaningful indicators of VM checks are visible. (See appendix for decryption function details.) In this code snippet, three checks are evident:…
Read MoreJust two weeks ago a new Apache Struts 2 critical remote code execution vulnerability was published,1 and F5 researchers have already detected known threat actors exploiting it in a new crypto-mining campaign: CVE-2018-11776 Apache Struts 2 namespace vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote code execution. In this Monero crypto-mining campaign, the injection point is within the URL.…
Read MoreFigure 4: Dynamically resolving Windows API functions In conclusion, sometimes changes, even minor ones such as this one, are enough to break a working automation process, and they require some time to investigate. That’s how the malware’s authors gain precious time to defraud unsuspecting victims before security vendors can denylist their servers. As a reminder,…
