Let's discuss reverse engineering tools. With all the disassemblers and debuggers we have at our disposal, we can readily dissect an interesting part of an executable.

What our tools are less good at, however, is locating these parts. We often try to find some trick to latch onto the interesting subroutines of the target. Common techniques include searching for strings or looking for interesting imports/exports. In the absence of such hints, a long and tedious walk through the call graph awaits us; we're ill-equipped against pure code. How to visualize memory accesses? I visualized memory accesses on a 2D grid s. t. X-axis represents an accessed memory locationY-axis represents time and increases downwardred = write accesses, green = read accesses, yellow = both Without further ado, let's check out some actual visualizations.

Many IT pros think that they must become scripting experts whenever anyone mentions PowerShell. That couldn't be further from the truth.

New security hole found in multiple Java versions.

The same team of Polish researchers who discovered a critical security hole in Oracle’s Java software say that they uncovered another such hole, which could be used to bypass Java’s secure application “sandbox” – this time on many more versions of Java. Researchers at Security Explorations, based in Poland, discovered the flaw in Oracle’s Java Standard Edition (SE) and developed a proof of concept exploit for it which permits “complete Java security sandbox bypass,” according to the company’s CEO, Adam Gowdiak. Writing in an email response to questions from Naked Security, Gowdiak said that he couldn’t discuss details of the vulnerability, beyond saying that the flaw: “allows to violate a fundamental security constraint of a Java Virtual Machine (type safety).”
