Internet Explorer Zero Day Discovered

Researchers at Symantec have reported the discovery of an unpatched vulnerability that impacts Internet Explorer versions 6, 7, and 8 running under Windows. Microsoft has released a security advisory confirming the vulnerability but currently has no plans to release an out-of-band update.

The exploit was delivered via targeted email that contained a link to a single compromised website (all malicious files have since been removed).

According to Microsoft, the vulnerability exists because "Internet Explorer incorrectly under-allocates memory to store a certain combination of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) tags when parsing HTML. This could result in an overwrite of the least significant byte of a vtable pointer. An attacker able to spray memory with a specific pattern could potentially execute code in the context of the process parsing the HTML."

Heap spray attacks can be mitigated by enabling Data Execution Prevention (DEP). By default, DEP is enabled in Internet Explorer v8. To enable DEP in Internet Explorer v6 and v7, refer to the links below:

Cum sa adaugam Defragment in meniul de click-dreapta in Windows 7

Performanta unui computer depinde in mare parte si de starea de “sanatate” a hard-diskului instalat pe acesta. Degeaba procesorul este de ultimul tip si degeaba instalam n GB suplimentari de RAM (pe versiunile 32-biti oricum nu vor putea fi folositi decat maxim 3GB), daca starea hdd-ului este una foarte proasta computerul va avea o “prestatie” cel mult mediocra (si asta in momentele lui foarte bune, care se vor intampla destul de rar).

Una dintre operatiunile esentiale pentru mentinerea unui hard-disk in stare buna de functionare este defragmentarea periodica a acestuia. Daca va numarati printre utilizatorii care prefera sa efectueze manual orice task de pe computerele personale si care evita operarea automata a acestora, puteti adauga in meniul de click-dreapta optiunea de Defragment, astfel incat ori de cate ori veti deschide acest meniu (adica or de cate ori veti da click-dreapta pe o partitie) va veti aduce aminte – probabil :D – sa va defragmentati hard-diskul.

Cum putem adauga Defragment in meniul de click-dreapta a partitiilor unui computer

deschideti editorul de registri (Registry Editor) tastand regedit in Search-ul din Start Menu (sau in Run) navigati catre calea HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Drive/shell, apoi dati click-dreapta pe shell si creati un nou key pe care il veti denumi runas

modificati valoarea intrarii Default (panoul din dreapta) in Defragment, apoi dati click-dreapta pe runas si creati un nou key, pe care il veti denumi command

setati valoarea intrarii Default de sub command in defrag %1 –v –u (click-dreapta > Modify), apoi inchideti regedit si restartati computerul

Dupa restart, atunci cand veti da click-dreapta pe vreuna din partitiile computerului vei observa optiunea Defragment in meniul afisat.

Daca veti da click pe aceasta, va incepe defragmentarea partitiei respective.

Nota: Tutorial compatibil si cu Widows Vista. Netestat pe XP.

Atentie! Inainte de a efectua orice modificare in registrii de sistem este recomandat sa creati un backup al acestora pentru a evita eventuale consecinte neplacute.

Roger Davidson: A Victim of Virus Scam - Or Not?

When reading the news, it's good to remember that what you're really reading is the product of someone else's research into the story. How in depth that research is obviously impacts how the story is told. Sometimes an article can paint a picture that is vastly different from the reality.

Consider either of these:

The stories assert that Roger Davidson, musician and heir to an oil fortune, was an innocent victim bilked out of 6 to 20 million dollars in an elaborate scam that sprung from a computer virus infection on his laptop. He took the laptop to a computer repair shop, after which the owners allegedly convinced him that all sorts of fanciful plotters were out to get him. As the story goes, he in turn was defrauded out of millions of dollars in protection fees. A sad tale, no?

But then read this article and you quickly realize this wasn't really the case of a befuddled victim, but rather the case of a man who may have had way too much to hide:

According to the defendants, some of what Davidson was concealing included millions of dollars in tax evasion and what was described as "massive" amounts of pornography. Additionally, the relationship between the alleged scammers and the alleged victim doesn't appear to as clear cut as other articles portray. Instead, if the defendants' allegations are true, it appears these may have been long standing relationships between three people and it may just have been Davidson himself who acted inappropriately.

Certainly there are a great number of scams perpetuated against the elderly each year. And unfortunately there are probably some unscrupulous computer repair shops willing to capitalize on someone's computer virus misfortune. But in this particular case, taking the story at face value may lead to the entirely wrong impression. Indeed, in this particular case, one has to wonder just who the real victims are.

Boonana Peels Down to Koobface for Macs

Dan Goodin at El Reg writes about the notorious Koobface worm being ported to Mac. The worm spreads via social engineering sites such as Facebook and Twitter and uses a malicious Java applet to load a backdoor onto your computer. Goodin points out that the Mac virus gurus at Intego have proclaimed this a low threat, specifically because it requires that the victim say yes to a warning message.

But so does pretty much every Windows variant of Koobface, nearly all of which generally masquerade as some sort of video codec.

It remains to be seen whether Mac users will prove to be more wary than their Windows' cousins. If not, we can expect that about 1% of those Mac users who do encounter the newly revamped Koobface will click "Allow" and infect their computers.

Intego is calling the new Mac social engineering worm OSX/Koobface.A. SecureMac is calling it Trojan.OSX.Boonana.a. Regardless of what you call it, it's a good reminder to disable Java in your browser. Truly, for all the security headaches Java brings, it's almost never ever legitimately needed.

Mozilla Patches Critical Firefox Flaw

Mozilla has released Firefox v3.6.12 in response to a zero day vulnerability that was discovered being actively exploited via the Nobel Peace Prize website. The exploit was targeting visitors to nobelpeaceprize.org in an attack some suggest was politically motivated.

The IP address involved in the attack traced back to a university in Taiwan. In October 2010, Chinese professor Liu Xiaob was awarded the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize. Liu Xiaob is currently serving an 11-year prison term in China for his writings in support of human rights.

Regardless of any motives behind its previous use, the flaw is highly critical and likely to quickly be exploited elsewhere. Firefox users are urged to update to the latest version as soon as possible. You can do so by directly downloading Firefox 3.6.12 or by choosing Help | Check for Updates from within the Firefox program.

Sophos Offers Mac Antivirus Free for Home Users

Antivirus vendor Sophos has long offered a paid version of Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac, but now Sophos is offering the same protection free for home use. Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition is designed for standalone Macs running OS X 10.4 or later. The scanner detects both Mac and Windows malware and includes a rich feature set with ample configuration options.

If you're looking for a Mac antivirus solution for your MacBook or iMac, Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition is definitely one worth trying.

(Sort of) Free AV for Small Business

Home users have long had access to excellent free antivirus software, but historically business users have always had to pay. Now, for a limited time, small business owners with 5 to 50 seats can get a (sort of) free copy of Symantec Endpoint Protection for Small Business. The catch is that you must make a qualifying purchase of Windows 7, after which you pay $18 for Symantec Endpoint, then get a mail-in rebate for up to $18.

The offer ends December 31st, and all rebates must be postmarked within 30 days of the close of the offer.

Polls, Privacy and People

Amidst no small amount of TSA criticism stemming from the TSA encounter described on the Johnny Edge blog, CBS News has released poll results showing that 81% of those they surveyed think full body scanners in airports are okay. Sounds like compelling evidence of acceptance, no?

But think about this. The poll was based on successful phone interviews which also included questions about a person's gender, political persuasion, and age. Non-successful attempts (i.e. those who refused or hung up) were not counted. So the 1,137 respondents in the CBS poll are already those who care little about privacy to begin with.

Personally, I hang up on any poll takers. I also don't participate in online polls that ask for personal information. Nor do I click on unsolicited links or participate in free offers tied to surveys as these are generally scams.

And, like Johnny Edge aka John Tyner, I'd also never agree to a full body scan.

Firefox Zero Day Targets Nobel Peace Prize Visitors

Mozilla (Firefox) has acknowledged a zero-day vulnerability in Firefox v3.5 and 3.6. The vulnerability was actively exploited via the Norwegian Nobel Peace Prize website (nobelpeaceprize.org) on Tuesday. The Nobel Prize attackers confined their targeting to Firefox 3.6 and specific versions of Windows (other than Vista and Windows 7), but future attackers will likely not confine it so restrictively.

No patch is currently available. For protection, Mozilla is recommending that Firefox users install the free NoScript addon.

It's anticipated that the vulnerability will be assigned CVE-2010-3765.

Cum putem salva un fisier Office 2010 in format .PDF

Microsoft Office 2010 vine la pachet cu cateva caracteristici noi fata de versiunile anterioare de Office. Una dintre aceste caracteristici este posibilitatea de a salva documente in format PDF (Acrobat Reader) fara a fi nevoie de instalarea unui addon pentru acest lucru.

Cum sa salvam un fisier Word Office 2010 in format PDF:

Deschideti fisierul Word 2010 pe care doriti sa il salvati ca PDF (de asemenea puteti crea un nou fisier pe care sa il salvati apoi ca document PDF)Dati click pe File (in coltul din stanga-sus) si selectati optiunea Save As

In ferestra nou deschisa , in campul din dreptul Save as type (partea de jos a ferestrei) selectati PDF si dati click pe Save.

Si gata, ati creat un nou fisier PDF cu ajutorul Microsoft Office 2010.

Nota: Chiar daca tutorialul a fost testat folosind Word 2010, acesta este compatibil si cu Excel 2010, Visio 2010, InfoPath 2010, OneNote 2010, PowerPoint 2010, Access 2010 si Publisher 2010.

Cum putem recupera anumite fisiere dintr-o imagine de backup a OS-ului (Vista & 7)

Cum putem recupera anumite fisiere dintr-o imagine de backup a OS-ului (Vista & 7)

Incepand cu Windows Vista, protectia default a sistemelor de operare permite crearea automata de backup-uri (numite puncte de restaurare sau restore points) ori de cate ori se fac modificari majore in registrii sau in fisierele de sistem, astfel incat, daca apar erori in sistem, acesta sa poata fi reparat relativ usor cu ajutorul unui astfel de backup (sistemul este restaurat la starea precedenta modificarii de registrii/fisiere de sistem care a provocat eroarea/erorile). O alta optiune de backup a sistemului in afara de restore point este crearea unei imagini a sistemului de operare, cu ajutorul careia, in caz de probleme majore sau chiar iremediabile ale acestuia, sistemul poate fi restaurat complet (inclusiv aplicatiile care erau instalate in momentul crearii imaginii) fara a fi nevoie de metode de reparare suplimentare sau de reinstalare. Dar daca nu avem nevoie de recuperarea completa a sistemului ci numai a catorva fisiere ale acestuia care, dintr-un motiv sau altul, au ajuns sa nu mai functioneze corect?

Cum putem recupera doar anumite fisiere din imaginile de backup ale Windowsului

In primul rand este necesara existenta unei imagini de backup a sistemului de operare (pentru cei care nu stiu cum pot face o imagine de backup a sistemului, vedeti acest post). Daca nu aveti imaginea de backup si aveti probleme cu diverse fisiere de sistem, sau vreti sa recuperati fisiere pe care le-ati sters din greseala sau ati constatat prea tarziu ca va trebuiau, ati putea incerca sa le “imprumutati” de la prietenii sau sa folositi ceva aplicatii de recuperare date. Daca imaginea de back-up exista, asigurati-va ca aceasta contine respectivele fisiere verificand data acesteia. In cazul in care imaginea este cea potrivita, urmati instructiunile de mai jos:

1. Varianta mai simpla si mult mai usor de urmat este folosirea unei terte aplicatii, si anume VHD Attach. Aceasta aplicatie permite montarea hard-diskurilor virtuale astfel incat acestea pot fi accesate la fel ca hdd-urile instalate. Dupa ce instalati VHD Attach, dati click-dreapta pe imaginea de backup si selectat Attach din meniu (Atentie! Daca aveti create doua fisiere .vdh in folderul de backup, imaginea partitiei de sistem este fisierul de dimensiuni mai mari, celalalt fiind imaginea partitiei de boot).

 

Dupa montarea hdd-ului vitual (a imaginii de backup) veti putea intra in acesta si selecta/copia fisierle de care aveti nevoie. Apoi demontati vhd-ul dand click-dreapta pe acesta si folosind Dettach.

2. In cazul in care nu aveti deosebita incredere in folosirea de aplicatii suplimentare, puteti monta un hdd virtual folosind Disk Management:

dati click-dreapta pe Computer in Start Menu si selectati Manage

in fereasta deschisa dati click pe Disk Management (in panoul din stanga) si asteptati ca acesta sa se incarce dati click pe Action in Menu bar, si selectati Attach VHD

apoi navigati catre folderul unde aveti imaginea de backup (vhd), selectati-o si dati click pe Open, apoi pe OK o noua partitie va aparea in Disk Management, aceasta putand fi accesata din (My) Computer.

Pentru a demonta vhd-ul, mergeti iar in Disk Management, dati click-dreapta pe acesta si selectati Dettach.

Nota: A doua varianta este compatibila doar cu Windows Vista/7 Ultimate/Enterprise.

Resetare Generala Internet Explorer (IE6, IE 7 & IE 8)

Internet Explorer este unul dintre cele mai populare internet browsere, fiind confundat de o parte din utilizatorii novice cu Internetul.

In comparatie cu Mozilla Firefox, Opera si Chrome, Internet Explorer este mai putin stabil si pune mai multe probleme de securitate, insa trebuie sa recunoastem ca o parte din vina problemei de stabilitate o reprezinta si experienta utilizatorului, care instaleaza toolbar-uri, add-on-uri si viziteaza site-uri "dubioase" ale caror surse contin coduri malware. 

Daca v-ati facut de cap prin setarile Internet Exporer, ati activat si instalat add-on-uri si toolbar-uri, iar acesta a inceput sa se miste mai greu, sa dea erori sau sa nu se mai deschida, atunci o resetare generala a browser-ului ar putea rezolva problema.

Reset Internet Explorer Settings (IE 6, IE7, IE 8 – nu am testat pe IE9)

Inainte de a spune cum putem reseta Internet Explorer, este bine sa stiti ca resetarea generala implica :

- dezactivare tooblars & add-ons (foarte util daca aveti de a face cu un crash care a aparut in urma instalarii unui add-on sau a unui toolbar)
- stergerea listei de site-uri blocate si a listei de site-uri trusted (valabil pentru cine foloseste aceasta setare ca sa limiteze accesul la anumite site-uri).  
- stergerea cookie si a setarilor personalizate pentru cookies.
- resetare Pop-up Blocker (sterge inclusiv lista de popup-uri permise) 
- reseteare setari tab-uri
- resetare setari de securitate.
- resetare peronalizare (limba, culori, font-uri, zoom, search box )
- sterge temporary Internet files, cookies, form data – autocompletare date, parolele salvate…  
- resetare feed-uri (daca aveti site-uri adaugate in feed este bine sa faceti un backup inainte de a reseta browser-ul).
- resetare setari ActiveX controls.
- resetare InPrivate Filtering - reseteaza setarile personalizate.

Cum putem sa resetam Internet Explorer 6, IE 7 sau IE 8

1. Deschidem Run Box (Win+R) si tastam :

rundll32 inetcpl.cpl ResetIEtoDefaults

OK sau Enter.

2. In casuta care se deschide facem click pe butonul "Reset".

Daca dupa acest pas nu se rezolva problema browser-ului dvs. este recomandat sa repetati comanda si sa bifati casuta de la "Delete personal settings".

Nu este nevoie sa deschideti Internet Explorer inainte a folosi comanda de resetare "rundll32 inetcpl.cpl ResetIEtoDefaults". Poate fi folosita si daca browser-ul nu este deschis sau daca browser-ul nu se mai deschide din cauza unei erori.

Comanda de resetare Internet Explorer via Run Box a fost testata pe Windows XP, Windows Vista si Windows 7.

Covert Online Spies

The Internet is a powerful tool that provides everyone online a way to be connected to each other, gather a lot of information and enjoy convenient services like online shopping and banking. However, many of us Internet users are at constant risk of adware and spyware downloads that make us extremely vulnerable to malicious acts.

We often unknowingly fall prey to adware and spyware downloads as we innocently use the Internet. These adware and spyware downloads can come bundled with some freeware programs we use and sometimes, simply browsing a site puts us at risk. The business of being infected with unwanted adware and spyware downloads can be very serious. Some adware and spyware or malware proliferate the Web to infect our computer systems which gives us no control over unsolicited pop ups as part of targeted market efforts.

On extreme criminal cases however, spyware called malware, is used to take note of keystrokes, scan our computer's hard drive and steal important passwords and financial information. The information gathered covertly is used for identity theft, which can cause us major headache and at least thousands of dollars to clear our names.

These adware and spyware are unknowingly infect our computers and most of the time, we don't even know that they there. However, you can start becoming suspicious of adware and spyware downloaded into your system when you begin to have uncontrolled pop-ups from unsolicited sources. Sometimes, even without the telltale pop up ads you may notice a suspicious slow down in your computer's processing without any apparent reason. Your system slows down because these adware and spyware parasitically use up your system's resources to be able to perform their functions.

The only way you can be sure if your computer system is infected with adware and spyware downloads is by installing an anti spyware program that will detect and flush out the unwanted programs. The proper anti spyware can also prevent future adware and spyware downloads. You need to choose an anti spyware program that does both.

Be wary of downloading anti spyware on the Net because some spyware are disguised and marketed as a free anti spyware.

One more thing you can do to protect yourself from unwittingly downloading adware and spyware programs is to read the fine print. When installing a new program into your computer, you are asked to tick off an option of whether you agree or disagree with the programs end user license agreement (EULA). Do yourself a favor and read what is written in the agreement before agreeing to proceed in the installation. Many shareware and freeware programs come bundled with spyware and adware programs and in some cases you can learn about them by reading the agreement carefully.
