An important aspect of securing any system is the concept of “defense-in-depth,” or having multiple layers of security and not depending on any one approach or technology to block all attacks.

Tools for a Safer PC

Here are some links to tools and approaches that I have found useful in stopping malware from invading a PC. Your mileage may vary. Learn, Memorize, Practice the 3 Rules Follow Krebs’s 3 Basic Rules for online safety, and you will drastically reduce the chances of handing control over your computer to the bad guys. In short, 1) If you didn’t go looking for it, don’t install it; 2) If you installed, update it. 3) If you no longer need it, get rid of it! Keep Up-to-Date with Updates! It shouldn’t be this way, but the truth is that most software needs regular updating. Put a Leash on Javascript Most Web sites use JavaScript, a powerful scripting language that helps make sites interactive.

Transmit Data Through Sound: Quiet

This makes it suitable for sending data across a 3.5mm headphone jack or via speaker and mic. Quiet can build standalone binaries for encoding/decoding data via .wav files or for streaming through your soundcard via PortAudio. It can also be built as a library to be consumed by other C programs. TOR Mail Encrypted Server: OnionMail. TOR Mail Encrypted Server for Hidden Services OnionMail is an anonymous, encrypted mail server made to run on TOR network without losing the ability to communicate with the Internet.

TOR Mail Encrypted Server: OnionMail

All OnionMail servers are configured as TOR hidden services and use SSL (via STARTTLS). To use OnionMail all you need is an email client connected to the TOR network – Example: Claws-Mail or Thunderbird. All OnionMail servers are connected in a ‘federated network’. All ‘federated servers’ can connect to the Internet via exit/enter servers to forward messages between networks while OnionMail forwards messages between TOR and the Internet in a transparent manner. Pattern Matching Swiss Knife: YARA. YARA is a tool aimed at (but not limited to) helping malware researchers to identify and classify malware samples.

Pattern Matching Swiss Knife: YARA

With YARA you can create descriptions of malware families (or whatever you want to describe) based on textual or binary patterns. Each description, a.k.a rule, consists of a set of strings and a boolean expression which determine its logic. Dark Internet Mail Environment: DIME. Internet electronic mail (email) was designed in the early days of the Internet, and so lacks any mechanism to protect the privacy of the sender and addressee.

Dark Internet Mail Environment: DIME

Several techniques have been used in an attempt to increase the privacy of email. These techniques have provided either modest increases in privacy, or have proven to be very difficult to use for most people. In addition to protection of content, truly private email must limit information disclosed to handling agents, only exposing information necessary for delivery (the metadata), and provide robust identity guarantees which prevent the impersonation of senders. The Dark Internet Mail Environment (DIME) achieves this level of privacy with core protocols using multiple layers of key management and multiple layers of message encryption.

The DIME Protocol Specifications contain the full technical details of the DIME. Automated Modular Cryptanalysis Tool: FeatherDuster. Automated Modular Cryptanalysis Tool FeatherDuster is a tool written by Daniel “unicornfurnace” Crowley of NCC Group for breaking crypto which tries to make the process of identifying and exploiting weak cryptosystems as easy as possible.

Automated Modular Cryptanalysis Tool: FeatherDuster

Cryptanalib is the moving parts behind FeatherDuster, and can be used independently of FeatherDuster. Cryptanalib can be used separately of FeatherDuster to make Python-based crypto attack tools. Documentation for cryptanalib functions can be accessed through the Python help() function The analysis engine in Cryptanalib, used by FeatherDuster, can automatically detect encodings and decode samples.

The engine assumes that all samples are generated with the same process (for instance, base64encode(aes_encrypt(datum))), but can handle mixed samples to some degree. Multiprotocol Network Emulator - Simulator: IMUNES. IMUNES GUI is a simple Tcl/Tk based management console, allowing for specification and management of virtual network topologies.

Multiprotocol Network Emulator - Simulator: IMUNES

The emulation execution engine itself operates within the operating system kernel. Univesity of Zagreb developed a realistic network topology emulation / simulation framework based on the FreeBSD and Linux operating system kernel partitioned into multiple lightweight virtual nodes, which can be interconnected via kernel-level links to form arbitrarily complex network topologies.

Creepy/README.md at master · ilektrojohn/creepy. Creepy by ilektrojohn. Creepy, the Geolocation Information Aggregator. What is Creepy ? So what is Creepy actually and how does it come into the “Geolocation” picture ? Creepy is a geolocation information aggregation tool. It allows users to gather already published and made publicly available geolocation information from a number of social networking platforms and image hosting services. In its current, beta form, it caters to harvesting geolocation information from twitter in the form of geotagged tweets, foursquare check-in’s, geotagged photos posted on twitter via image hosting services such as yfrog, twitpic, img.ly, plixi and others, and Flickr. The geolocation information that Creepy retrieves is presented to the user in the form of points on a navigable embedded map along with a list of locations (geographic latitude and longitude accompanied with the date and time).

Most popular VMWare Virtual Appliances for IT Administrators. Updated on September 23, 2009: Please review the updated list of virtual appliances. You may also be interested in reviewing virtual appliances for Security. The original post has been retained as a historical reference. The download links for most of the appliances in the following table no longer work since VMware has revamped the Appliance Marketplace.

Thanks I have ranked the virtual appliances for IT Administrators available at the VMWare Virtual Appliance Marketplace (VVAM) as described below. Methodology I accessed the listings for Administration, sorted them by Rating and cut and pasted the first 100 listing into an Excel spreadsheet.The Star rating that is visible on the web page shows up as a decimal fraction in Excel, this is what you see in the Customer Rating column below.I computed a Rank for each listing by multiplying the Customer Rating x 100 x the number of ratings for that appliance.Finally I sorted the result by the rank to prepare the table that appears below.
