One of the most common issues I see when people deploy SIP is calls hanging up after approximately 30 seconds or traffic not going to where it should. This can be hard for users to grasp and is primarily due to the fact that SIP embeds routing information (IP addresses and ports) within the signaling itself. When SIP was originally created this would have been perfectly fine but in a day and age where NAT is prevalent and the IP address and port may be internal, issues can arise. Let’s take a look at the basic areas which are applicable to most people! The Via header in a SIP message shows the path that a message took, and determines where responses should be sent to. By default in Asterisk we send to the source IP address and port of the request, overcoming any NAT issues. There are some devices, however, that this does not work properly with. An example is some Cisco phones that require you send responses to the port provided in the Via header. This can be accomplished in chan_pjsip by setting the “force_rport” option to “no” on the endpoint. The Contact header in a SIP message provides a target for where subsequent requests should be sent to. The Contact header is present in calls, registrations, subscriptions, and more. As you might expect when a device is behind NAT it might not know its public IP address and port and would instead place its private IP address and port in the Contact header. If a SIP device receives this header and is not on the same network it would be unable to contact the device. In a call scenario this exhibits itself upon answering a call. A 200 OK with a Contact header is sent to indicate that the call is answered and the other party then sends an ACK message to the target in the Contact header. If this is not received the 200 OK will be retransmitted until the sender gives up and terminates the call generally after approximately 30 seconds. The chan_pjsip module provides the “rewrite_contact” option to overcome this. It changes the received Contact header to be the actual source IP address and port of the SIP request and effectively ignores what the other party stated. SDP c= and m= Lines Media is not immune to NAT as many people likely know. Just like SIP signaling the IP address and port for where media should be sent to is also exchanged in SDP in the “c=” and “m=” lines. Just like with the Contact header a device may not put the correct information in resulting in media being sent to the wrong target. This can be resolved using the “rtp_symmetric” option in chan_pjsip. This configuration option instructs the Asterisk RTP implementation to latch on to the source of media it receives and send outgoing media to that target instead, ignoring what was presented in the “c=” and “m=” lines. I hope this has provided a bit of insight into a very common problem that people see, why it occurs, and how to resolve it. You’ll note I haven’t covered if Asterisk is behind NAT but instead focused on SIP in general and for devices behind NAT. Don’t despair as there is an excellent wiki page which covers that subject.
Compromised credentials and malware are the top two attacker methodologies according to the 2014 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report. While UserInsight focuses primarily on detecting compromised credentials, a huge gap in most security programs, UserInsight now helps detect malware on endpoints in your entire organization Ð without having to deploy any software to the endpoints. Protect your endpoints with the wisdom of 50 virus scanners and the footprint of none UserInsight checks each process against a database of malware scanning results of over 50 virus scanners and alerts if the process is reported to be malicious. While individual anti-virus scanners will always have blind spots, installing several scanners on the endpoint is not an option because they would conflict with each other and grind performance to a halt. UserInsight leverages the wisdom of more than 50 virus scanners by checking processes against a database of previous scanning results, protecting UserInsight subscribers against malware as soon as malware vendors detect a new piece of malware. UserInsight customers who have piloted this new functionality have already reported successes. They detected mass malware on their endpoints that had previously remained undetected by their existing virus scanners. Individual virus scanners not only have blind spots but also false positives. This is why UserInsight enables organizations to set thresholds of how many virus scanners must flag a process as malicious before it is being reported as an alert, helping us reduce the false positive rate and alert fatigue. Some types of malware run under the names of legitimate processes to avoid detection. UserInsight takes a hash of the process to help detect these kinds of malware as well. The endpoint monitoring does not require the deployment or management of a software agent to the endpoints, which can be a burden for overworked IT organizations. UserInsight achieves this through credentialed scanning of endpoints, greatly reducing the amount of overhead for monitoring endpoints. The new endpoint malware detection works with both Windows and Mac operating systems. New endpoint malware detection builds on existing malware functionality The new endpoint malware detection methods build on UserInsight's existing capability to detect malicious processes. - Rare and unique processes: While the new functionality extends the detection to known mass malware, UserInsight already gave customers visibility of malware that uses polymorphism or malware that was customized for a targeted attack. Custom or obfuscated malware stands out as an anomaly when compared to other processes that run in an organization. For example, an office application would be present on thousands of machines in an organization, while a piece of malware would only show on one or two. In addition, legitimate processes are often digitally signed by an organization. UserInsight detects unsigned rare and unique processes in an organization to help incident responders detect these types of targeted attacks. - User context for advanced malware: Advanced malware solutions use sandboxes to scrutinize executables and files for malicious behavior. Because organizations are afraid of false positive alerts impacting the productivity of their users, most IT security teams deploy advanced malware solutions only in detection mode without blocking emails or web access. As a result, alerts must be closely monitored and investigated. However, it can be difficult to investigate an attack given only the IP address of a machine that caused an alert, especially in environments with dynamic IP addresses. UserInsight has existing integrations with FireEye NX Series and Palo Alto Wildfire to help incident responders easily identify the user connected to an alert and provides the full context of activities of that user to accelerate the investigation. - Adding alerts from endpoint protection platforms to investigations: Endpoint protection platforms are typically set up to quarantine malware, so they are rarely centrally monitored because there is no follow-up required. UserInsight provides malware alerts from endpoint protection platforms to provide more context in incident investigations. For example, let's assume an intruder tries three times to phish a user Ð the first two attempts are blocked by the virus scanner, but the third attempt goes through. In an investigation, the endpoint protection platform would report the first two blocked attempts, providing useful context about the initial attack vector. How to set up UserInsight to detect malware on endpoints Using the malware endpoint detection with UserInsight is very easy. If you are already using the endpoint monitoring, you will see 'MALICIOUS PROCESS ON ASSET' alerts showing up in your incident alerts. If you don't have endpoint monitoring set up yet, here is how you do it: - Go to the Collectors page in UserInsight. - Click on 'Rapid7' in the event sources list on the left. - Click the sign on the collector for the location where you'd like to add endpoint scanning. - Select 'Rapid7 Endpoint Monitor' for Windows or 'Rapid7 Mac Endpoint Monitor' for Mac endpoints and ensure that you activate the dissolvable agent. The new functionality to detect malicious processes is available immediately. If you'd like to test it out, please contact us to schedule a 1:1 demo or talk about evaluating UserInsight.

Secure Telephony Identity Revisited is an innovative group which gathers information about spoof callers and calls. This group, also known as “STIR” attempts to solve various issues involving phone identifications and identifiers. There are many types of phone identification frauds that exist such as phishing and robot type calls. These calls may involve harassment and promote aggressive style tactics such as repeat calling. Essentially, STIR attempts to separate the veritable substance calls from the spoof calls. Read the full article here:
The Scenario-based questions cover the following Learning Outcomes: 2. Apply data recovery techniques to forensic investigation in the network and mobile environments. 4. Apply forensic methodology to digital corporate and crime investigation in an ethical and professional context and employ appropriate technically writing skills in its report presentation. You’re an analyst at a Singapore manufacturing corporation named WoW Pvt. Ltd. On Wednesday 2015-08-05, you saw some alerts while working at the corporation’s Security Operations Center Department. While investigation, your team contacts one of the suspected employee, who is not aware of the suspicious files found on his desktop. The Network administrator helps to retrieve a pcap of traffic for the timeframe of the alerts and the HTTPS traffic logs for that IP address. Another analyst searches the company’s mail servers and retrieves four malicious emails that might be related.

Symantec Mail Security 5.0 for SMTP is not blocking spam email. When you examine the email that is passing through the filter, you notice that it contains HTML tags. One method used by spammers to propagate their spam past filters is the use of HTML comment tags inserted between the letters of words that normally trigger an action. This technique circumvents the simple word-searching capabilities of modern scanners. To combat this, use complex regular expressions when scanning email for spam. Due to the complexity of regular expressions, Symantec Technical Support does not have the resources to troubleshoot compliance rules that use regular expressions. The following steps are unsupported and are provided for your convenience. Before you begin: - Make sure that the user name with which you logged in is a member of the Symantec Mail Security for SMTP Admins security group. - Symantec Mail Security 5.0 for SMTP cannot open password-protected archives or archives that use encryption. - Archive files that use an incorrect extension do not open properly. To filter spam that uses HTML Comment Tags, create a regular expression rule that searches mail for instances of HTML comments. You can accomplish this in one of two ways. Block every email that contains HTML Comment Tags The advantage to this method is the ease of implementation. However, this method could have a high false-positive rate. The following is the format for creating an expression to block every email containing an HTML Comment Tag: "<!-- Converted from text/plain format -->" Note: Testing revealed that some email client software tags valid email with HTML comments. To create a compliance policy containing every spam word to be blocked, and paste the regular expression between each letter The advantage of this technique is the accuracy and low number of false-positives. The disadvantage is the unwieldy implementation, as the regular expression needs to be between every letter of each word, and requires a separate condition for each word. The following two methods are examples of implementing this solution: To configure Symantec Mail Security 5.0 for SMTP to block spam which uses HTML tags, you must: - Create a compliance filtering policy which filters for specific terms as specified within the policy itself. - Test the rule. To create a filtering rule - In the Symantec Mail Security 5.0 for SMTP user interface, on the Policies tab, click Compliance. - Click Add. - In the Policy name text field, type: Block HTML tags with regular expressions - Under Apply to, select Inbound messages. - Under Apply to the following policy groups, check Groups to select all groups. - Under If the following conditions are met, select Body. - Click matches regular expression button. - In the box beside matches regular expression, type the word you seek to check for HTML Comment tags. - Paste the following regular expression between each letter of the word you are checking for HTML Comment Tags: For example if your compliance policy contains the word: quack Note: Bolding of letters for emphasis only. You do not need to bold the letters when creating your compliance policy. - Click Add Condition. - Repeat steps 6 through 10 for each additional word you seek to check for HTML Comment tags. - Under Perform the following action, select Hold message in Spam Quarantine. - Click Save. - Email containing any of the words 'quack', or 'squack', are now be blocked whether they have HTML comments inserted in-between the letters or not. To test the new rule - Create a message with a subject line that contains one of the terms which violate the rule. - Send this message into the test network from an external account, and monitor the results. If the message is placed in the Spam Quarantine, the rule works. - If necessary, add or refine actions and retest by sending another message from an external account. - Add the rule and match list to your production environment. Symantec recommends that you test every new policy or modified policy to make sure that it works as you expect. A test network allows more control over the test process, and email generally travels more quickly through the system. Detailed information regarding regular expressions can be found on page 91 of the Symantec Mail Security for SMTP Implementation Guide. - Perl regular expressions - General description of compliance policy behavior within Symantec Mail Security 5.0 for SMTP
Object detection is an advanced computer vision technique that enables the identification and localization of objects within an image or video stream. It has a wide range of practical applications, including video surveillance, self-driving cars, and image search. Object detection algorithms are capable of identifying objects of interest, such as people, animals, and vehicles, and tracking their movements within a video feed. In this article, we will explore the theory behind object detection networks and how they can be used to create powerful video surveillance systems like Object Detection software.Object detection networks typically consist of two main components: a feature extractor and a classifier. The feature extractor is responsible for analyzing an input image or video frame and extracting a set of high-level features that can be used to identify objects. These features might include edges, corners, textures, and colors. The classifier, on the other hand, is responsible for determining the presence and location of objects within the image or video frame. It does this by analyzing the extracted features and comparing them to a set of pre-defined object categories.One popular approach to object detection is the use of deep learning algorithms, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs). CNNs are a type of artificial neural network that is designed to process visual data, such as images and videos. They consist of multiple layers of interconnected neurons that are capable of learning complex patterns within the data.In the context of object detection, a CNN is typically trained on a large dataset of annotated images. During the training process, the network learns to identify the unique features associated with each object category. These features might include the shape of a persons face, the color of a car, or the texture of an animals fur. Once the network has been trained, it can be used to classify new images and videos in real-time.Object detection networks can be used to create powerful video surveillance systems like Object Detection software. These systems are capable of monitoring multiple cameras simultaneously and detecting the presence of objects of interest, such as people, animals, and vehicles. When an object is detected, the system can automatically trigger a recording and upload the video to a cloud-based storage system for later review. These systems can also be used for automatic face recognition, allowing authorized individuals to be identified and tracked within a video feed.In conclusion, object detection networks are an essential tool for creating advanced video surveillance systems. They allow for the automatic identification and localization of objects within a video feed, enabling real-time monitoring and recording. These systems can be used in a wide range of applications, from home security to self-driving cars. As computer vision technology continues to advance, we can expect to see even more advanced object detection systems in the future.
Authentication, Authorization & Accounting The course is part of these learning pathsSee 2 more Cloud Security is a huge topic, mainly because it has so many different areas of focus. This course focuses on three areas that are fundamental: AWS Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting. These three topics can all be linked together and having an understanding of the different security controls from an authentication and authorization perspective can help you design the correct level of security for your infrastructure. Once an identity has been authenticated and is authorized to perform specific functions it's then important that this access can be tracked with regards to usage and resource consumption so that it can be audited, accounted, and billed for. The course will define and discuss each area, and iron out any confusion of meaning between various security terms. Some people are unaware of the differences between authentication, authorization, and access control, this course will clearly explain the differences here allowing you to use the correct terms to describe your security solutions. From an AWS authentication perspective, a number of different mechanisms are explained, such as Multi-Factor AWS Authentication (MFA), Federated Identity, Access Keys, and Key Pairs. With the help of demonstrations, you can learn how to apply access keys to your AWS CLI for programmatic access and understand the differences between Linux and Windows authentication methods using AWS Key Pairs. When we dive into understanding authorization we cover IAM Users, Groups, Roles, and Policies, providing examples and demonstrations. Within this section, S3 authorization is also discussed, looking at access control lists (ACLs) and Bucket Policies. Moving on from S3, we look at network- and instance-level authorization with the help of Network Access Control Lists (NACLs) and Security Groups. Finally, the Accounting section will guide you through the areas of Billing & Cost Management that you can use to help identify potential security threats. In addition to this, we explain how AWS CloudTrail can be used to track API calls to analyze what users are doing and when. This makes CloudTrail a strong tool in tracking, identifying, and monitoring a user's actions within your AWS environment. - Obtain a strong grasp of the difference between authentication, authorization, access control, and accounting - Understand various authentication mechanisms used in AWS such as MFA, Federated Identity, Access Keys, and Key Pairs - Learn about IAM Users, Groups, Roles, and Policies and how they tie into authorization in AWS - Learn about billing and cost management, and how to use it to identify potential security threats - Understand how AWS CloudTrail can be used to track, identify, and monitor users' actions within AWS This course has been created for anyone with an interest in cloud security, and/or who may hold a position of cloud solutions architect, cloud security specialist, or similar. To get the most out of this course, you should have a basic understanding of identity and access management (IAM), Amazon EC2, Amazon S3 storage, networking fundamentals, and the virtual private cloud service. Hello, and welcome to this lecture, discussing how authorization can be granted within AWS. In an earlier lecture, I discussed the differences between authentication and authorization, and I just want to reiterate what they were. So I'll go over the definition of the two again. Authentication is the process of defining an identity and the verification of that identity. For example, a username and password. Authorization, that determines what an identity can access within a system once it's been authenticated. An example of this would be an identity's permissions to access specific AWS resources. As we have already seen, the main service that is responsible for managing and maintaining what an AWS identity is authorized to access is governed by IAM, identity and access management. So let's start with IAM, and how these permissions are implemented and associated with different identities, allowing the authorization to use specific services and carry out certain functions. When an identity is authenticated to AWS, the way in which permissions are given to the identity varies depending on the identity's own user permissions and its association with other IAM groups and roles. Let's take a quick recap on users, groups, and roles. IAM users are account objects that allow an individual user to access your AWS environment with a set of credentials. You can issue user accounts to anyone who needs to view or administer objects and resources within your AWS environment. Permission can be applied individually to a user, but the best practice for permission assignments is to add the user to an IAM group. IAM groups are objects that have permissions assigned to them via policies, allowing the members of the group access to specific resources. Having users assigned to these groups allows for a uniform approach to access management and control. IAM roles are objects created within IAM, which have policy permissions associated to them. However, instead of just being associated with users as groups are, roles can be assigned to instances at the time of launch. This allows the instance to adopt permissions given by the role without the need to have access keys stored locally on the instance. Permissions are granted to users, groups, and roles by means of an AWS IAM policy. This policy is in the form of a JSON script. There are a number of pre-written AWS policies, which are classed as AWS managed policies. You can also create your own customer managed policies, too. The AWS managed policies cover a huge range of AWS services at different authorization levels, from read-only to full access. And at the time of this course production, there are currently 218 AWS managed policies in place. If your security requirements fit with one of these AWS managed policies, then that's great and you can start using it right away by associating users, groups, or roles to it. However, it's more than likely that these AWS managed policies are not a perfect match for permissions you want to assign to an authenticated user. In this instance, you can copy and tweak the policy and make it fit for your requirements exactly. When it comes to security, you can't be lazy, as this leads to mistakes and vulnerabilities. You can't afford to take shortcuts, and you need to define your permissions, ensuring they only allow authorized access to services and features that are required. IAM policies are made up of statements following a set syntax for allowing or denying permissions to an object within AWS. Each policy will have at least one statement with a structure that resembles the following. Statement: this defines the main element of a policy, and groups together the permissions defined within it via the following attributes. Effect: this will either be set to Allow or Deny. These are explicit. By default, access to your resources are denied, and so therefore if this is set to Allow, it replaces the default Deny. Similarly, if this was configured as Deny, it would override any previous Allow. Action: this corresponds to API calls to AWS Services that authenticate through IAM. This example represents an API call to delete a bucket, the action with an S3. You are able to list multiple actions if required by using a comma to separate them. Wildcards are also allowed. So for example, you could create an action to carry out all APIs relating to S3. Resources: this specifies the actual resource you wish the permission to be applied to. AWS uses unique identifiers known as ARNs, Amazon Resource Names, to specify resources. Typically, ARNs follow the following syntax. Let's break this down and take a look at each of these segments. Partition: this relates to the partition that the resource is found in. For standard AWS regions, this section would be AWS. Service: this reflects the specific AWS service. For example, S3 or EC2. Region: this is the region where the resource is located. Now remember, some services do not need a region specified, so this can sometimes be left blank in those circumstances. Account-ID: this is your AWS account ID without hyphens. Again, there are some services that do not need this information, and so it can be left blank. Resource: the value of this field will depend on the AWS service you are using. For example, if I were using the action s3:DeleteBucket, then I could use the bucket name that I wanted the permission to delete, and in this example, cloudacademy is the name of the bucket. Condition: this element of the IAM policy is an optional element that allows you to specify when the permissions will be activated based upon set conditions. Conditions use key value pairs, and all conditions must be met for the permissions to be activated. For example, there may be a condition only permitting requests from a specific source IP address. A full listing of these conditions can be found here. Now we have a basic understanding of how JSON scripts are put together and their general flow. Let's see how we can modify existing policies to tweak them to your needs. To copy and edit an existing AWS managed policy is a very simple and easy thing to do, and can save you a lot of time trying to recreate your own if you just need a few small tweaks. So I'm currently within the AWS management console, at the dashboard of IAM. So from here, you just need to go down to Policies, and then up to Create Policy. Now you can see you got three options here: Copy an AWS Managed Policy, Policy Generator, or Create Your Own. For this demonstration, we want to copy an existing AWS managed policy, and then we can customize it to fit our needs. So we can select that. Now you can filter from this policy list and save you scrolling through the 10s or 100s that there are. So what I'll be inclined to do is to search for roughly what you're looking for. Let's have a look at S3. Let's take a look at the S3ReadOnlyAccess. So select that, and now you can see what the policy looks like. So this is the JSON document, and you can see that it allows the s3:Get and s3:List actions, which will essentially give you read-only access to S3, to any resource. So let's modify this to include an additional permission, for example, CreateBucket. So I can directly edit this policy document and add in our own, so s3:CreateBucket. So now, we have read-only access, and also, we are allowed to create buckets as well. If we click on Validate Policy, and that will just confirm that the entries we have made are okay, and you see on the top here, it says this policy is valid. If you did edit it, and it wasn't quite correct, then it would let you know. For example, if I removed this comma here and tried Validate Policy again, it would let us know that this policy contains the following JSON error on the specified line, tells you what it expected instead of what it actually has. So if we go back to line 8, add back in our comma, and say Validate, and it can say this policy is valid. And then from here, all we need to do is give this a new policy name. We can call it S3-Custom-Policy. And then all we need to do is click on Create Policy. And that's it. Now we can verify that that policy exists. We can click on the filter here and say Customer Managed. Because we've edited the AWS managed policy, it now becomes a customer managed policy. And we can see, down here is our policy, S3-Custom-Policy. We can click on it, we can see the JSON document. And that's it. If you don't feel confident enough to edit existing AWS managed policies, then you could use a tool provided within IAM called the IAM Policy Generator. This allows you to create an IAM policy using a series of dropdown boxes without the need of editing a JSON document itself. The following demo will quickly show you how to access this policy generator and create an example policy. Okay, so to create a policy using the AWS Policy Generator is, again, very simple, like we've done previously. I'm starting on the screen within IAM, and I'm under Policies at the moment. So from here, all you need to do is click on Create Policy, and again we have the three options, but this time, we want to use the policy generator. So click on Select, and we've got a number of dropdown boxes and options here. So we've got an effect, which we can either have as Allow or Deny. For this example, we're going to have Allow. We then have a list of AWS services. As you can see, there's quite a lot in the list. And we'll select Amazon S3. And now we can pick all the actions associated with S3. If we tick this one here, All Actions, then we get everything, or we can just pick specific permissions. Let's go for Create and DeleteBuckets. And then we have to supply the Amazon Resource Name. So for S3, that will be arn:aws:s3:: and then all resources, Add Statement, and you can see here at the bottom, we have an Allow effect for the s3:Create and DeleteBuckets to all resources within S3, and then we click on Next Step, and we can see here that it's created the JSON policy document for us. So based on those dropdown selections, we now have a full policy document that we can use. And then we can click on Validate Policy, and as before, you can now see that this policy is valid, so there's no errors in this policy. And now we can give this policy a name. Let's call it S3CreateDelete, and then click on Create Policy. And again, we can have a look and verify that our policy is there by filtering on Customer Managed, and here we have our S3CreateDelete policy, and there you go. That's how you create a policy using the policy generator. So far, we have covered how to create IAM policies from both an AWS managed perspective and via the policy generator. However, if you are completely at ease writing your own JSON scripts, and want to define their own tight and well-written IAM policies, then you have this option available to you as well. All you need to do is to give your policy a name and a description, and then start writing your permission statements, authorizing any associated identities to access or restrict access to AWS resources. Once you get used to the syntax and benefits of writing your own policies, you'll be able to effectively and efficiently lock down access to your resources to ensure they are only accessed by authorized API calls. There are many, many commands that can be applied and controlled through an IAM policy, but they're a bit beyond the scope of this course. However, AWS does provide great API listings for the different services through their extensive documentation for advanced policy writers. Let's now take a step away from IAM and move our attention to S3, Simple Storage Service. This is one of AWS' most common storage services, and is used by a multitude of other AWS services. So it's worth devoting some time to see how S3 handles its own authorization. There are multiple ways an identity can be authorized to access an object within S3, which overlap with the IAM mechanisms we have already discussed. So how does a user or service get the correct level of authorization? First, let's define the different methods that permissions can be applied within S3: S3 bucket policies, and S3 ACLs, Access Control Lists. Bucket policies are similar to IAM policies, in that they allow access to resources via a JSON script. However, as the name implies, these bucket policies are only applied to buckets within S3, whereas IAM policies can be assigned to users, groups, or roles as we previously discussed. In addition, IAM policies can also govern access to any AWS service, not just S3. When a bucket policy is applied, the permissions assigned apply to all objects within that bucket. This policy introduces a new attribute called principles. These principles can be IAM users, federated users, another AWS account, or even other AWS services, and it defines which principles should be allowed or denied access to various S3 resources. Principles are not used within IAM policies as the principle element is defined by who is associated to that policy via the user, group, or role association. As bucket policies are assigned to buckets, we need to have this additional parameter of principles within the policy. As you can see from this example, a bucket policy is very similar in terms of layout and syntax to that of an IAM policy. However, we do have the Principal attribute added. This value must be the AWS ARN of the principal, and in this example, we can see cloudacademy, as a user within IAM, is allowed to delete objects and put objects within the cloudacademy bucket identified under the resource parameter. S3 bucket policies also allow you to set conditions within the policy, allowing a fine-grain permission set to be defined. For example, you could allow or deny specific IP subnets to access the bucket, or perhaps even restrict a specific IP address. This is another level of access control taking place at the network level that helps to tighten access, ensuring only authorized access is permitted. I now want to move on to S3 ACLs to show you how these differ. This access mechanism predates IAM, and so is quite an old access control system. S3 ACLs allow identities to access specific objects within buckets; a different layout approach than bucket policies, which are applied at the bucket level only. ACLs allow you to set certain permissions on each individual object within a specific bucket. These ACLs do not follow the same format as the policies defined by IAM and bucket policies. Instead, they are far less granular, and different permissions can be applied depending if you are applying an ACL at the bucket or object level. The grantee is the resource owner, and is likely to have full control over that object and on new bucket creations. This is typically the AWS account owner. The grantees are defined by the following categories. Everyone: this would allow access to this object by anyone, and that doesn't just mean any AWS user, but anyone with access to the internet if the object is public. Any Authenticated AWS Users: this option will only allow IAM users or other AWS accounts to access the object via assigned requests of authentication. Log Delivery: this allows logs to be written to the bucket when it is being used to store server access logs. Me: this relates to your current IAM AWS user account. From within S3 via the AWS management console, these permissions can be applied via a series of checkboxes, and if all options are selected, then that grantee is considered to be authorized to have full contol of the object. You can have up to 500 grantees on any object. We have spoken about a number of ways an identity or principal can be authorized access to a resource or object within AWS, but what happens if a principal who belongs to a group and accesses an object in a bucket with S3 ACLs, bucket permissions and their own IAM permissions? Within all of this authorization applied to the principal, how is this access governed if there are conflicting permissions to the object in the bucket that they are trying to access? Well, AWS handles this permission conflict in accordance with the basis of least-privileged. Essentially, by default, AWS dictates that access is denied to an object, even without an explicit Deny within any policy. To gain access, there has to be an Allow within a policy that the principal is associated to or defined by within a bucket policy or ACL. If there are no Denies defined, but there is an Allow within a policy, then access will be authorized. However, if there is a single Deny associated with a principal to a specific object, then even if an Allow does exist, this explicit Deny will always take precedence, overruling the Allow, and access will not be authorized. I'd now like to just give a quick demo of how to create S3 ACLs and S3 bucket policies. Okay, for this demo, I'm going to show you how to look at the S3 ACLs and edit those, and also how to create an S3 bucket policy. So I've created a bucket here from within S3 called cademobucket. And looking at the properties of this bucket, if we go down to Permissions, here you'll see the permissions related to the ACL, the access controllers. The grantee is the account owner. So if you wanted to add more permissions to this ACL, we can click on Add More Permissions. Select another grantee. I'll just select Me, and then we can just use the tickboxes to select the permissions that we want, so List and Upload/Delete, and then click on Save. And that'll now give my user List and Upload/Delete permissions to this bucket. And for S3 ACLs, it's as simple as that, really. So moving on to bucket policies. Let's just delete this. So let's add a bucket policy. Now you can either write your own policy here if you're confident enough, or you can select a sample bucket policy, or use the AWS Policy Generator. So let's go ahead and use the generator. Type of policy will be an S3 bucket policy. The effect we'll have is Allow. So the principal is going to be an AWS user in this demonstration. So if we go ahead and look at our user, the one we created earlier was CAuser1. Here's the ARN of this user, so we shall copy that. And if you notice the permissions that this user's got, it's only read-only access to S3, it's one of the AWS managed policies that was assigned to that user. So we'll put in the ARN of the principal. Service is S3 and the action we will have will be PutObject. And the ARN of the bucket will be arn:aws:s3::cademobucket/ and then any resource. Let's add conditions as well for this. So on the condition of an IpAddress with the SourceIp, being mine, which is 188.8.131.52, so we'll add that condition. We'll add the statement. So here we can see that the principal is the CAuser1, is allowed to put objects within the cademobucket on the condition that the source IpAddress is 184.108.40.206, which is my IP address. Click on Generate Policy. We can then copy that and paste it into our Bucket Policy Editor, click on Save. And that's it, that's the bucket policy applied. So what I'm going to do now is log out of this account, and log in with the CAuser1 account and try and put an object in that bucket. Okay, so I've logged back in as CAuser1. So I want to try and test that bucket policy now by putting an object within this bucket. So as you can see, I'm within the cademobucket. So if I go to Upload, Add Files, pick a random file, and say Start Upload, and there you can see, the object has been uploaded. So with the use of a bucket policy, I was able to grant additional permissions to this user to allow them to add objects to this bucket, with the inclusion of the conditions as well using the source IP address. Permissions and authorization can exist at multiple layers within the AWS framework. We have looked at specific user and principal permissions, and how the authorization process is managed. When we discussed S3 bucket policies, we briefly touched on conditions, and how this can be configured to allow or deny access based on IP addresses, for example. This network level access control can also be used within your virtual private cloud, VPC, to authorize network traffic in and out of a particular subnet. It's managed differently and offers greater control through the use of network access controllers, or NACLs. In the beginning of this course, we listed AWS NACLs as an access control mechanism, and indeed they are. However, they provide permission at the network layer. NACLs provide a rule-based security feature for permitting ingress and egress network traffic at the protocol and subnet level. In other words, ACLs monitor and filter traffic moving in and out of your subnet, either allowing or denying access dependent on rule permissions. These NACLs are attached to one or more subnets within your virtual private cloud. If you haven't created a custom NACL, then your subnets will automatically be associated with your VPC's default ACL, and in this instance, the default allows all traffic to flow in and out of the network, as opposed to denying. The rule set itself is very simple, and has both an inbound and outbound list of rules, and these rules are comprised of just six different fields; these being Rule Number: ACL rules are read in ascending order, and as soon as a network packet is received, it reads each rule in ascending order until a match is found. For this reason, you'll want to carefully sequence your rules with an organized numbering system. I would suggest that you leave a gap of at least 50 between each of your rules to allow you to easily add new rules in sequence later, if it becomes necessary. Type: this dropdown list allows you to select from a list of common protocol types, including SSH, RDP, HTTP, and POP3. You can alternatively specify custom protocols, such as varieties of ICMP. Protocol: based on your choice for type, the protocol option might be grayed out. For custom rules like TCP and UDP, however, you should provide a value. Port Range: if you do create a custom rule, you'll need to specify the port range for the protocol to use. Source: this can be a net or a subnet range, a specific IP address, or even left open to traffic from anywhere. Allow/Deny: each rule must include an action specifying whether to find traffic where we're permitted, to enter or leave the associated subnet or not. So looking at these rules, authorization is permitted or denied by the associated subnet, depending on the verification of the parameters identified in points 2 to 5. This data is analyzed from within the network packet itself. So we are not authorizing a principal here, like we have been looking at with IAM and S3. Instead, we are authorizing the network packet itself. It's important to note that NACLs are stateless. Therefore, when creating your rules, you'll need to apply an outbound reply rule to permit responses to inbound requests. I have seen NACLs used very effectively to prevent DDOS, distributed denial of service, attacks. If traffic somehow manages to get past AWS' own DDOS protection undetected, and you're being attacked from a single IP address, you can create a NACL rule that will deny all traffic from that source right at the subnet level, and the traffic will not be authorized to go any further. Just a small point, and this applies to all the authentication and authorization mechanisms I've mentioned thus far: your NACLs will require updating from time to time, and you should regularly review them to ensure they are still optimized for your environment. Security is an ongoing effort and needs regular attention to ensure its effectiveness. Having the ability to authorize or deny network packets at a network level is great, but can the same be accomplished at an instance level? The answer is yes. Let's see how this level of authorization works. AWS security groups are associated with instances, and provide security at the protocol and port access level, much like NACLs, and as a result, they also work much the same way. Containing a set of rules that filter traffic coming into and out of an EC2 instance. However, unlike NACLs, with security groups, there isn't a Deny action for a rule. Instead, if there isn't a rule that explicitly permits a particular packet, it will simply be dropped. Again, the rule set is made up of two rule sets, inbound and outbound. But security groups are stateful, meaning you do not need the same rules for both inbound and outbound traffic, unlike, NACLs, which are stateless. Therefore, any rule that allows traffic into an EC2 instance will allow any response to be returned without an explicit rule in the outbound rule set. Each rule is comprised of four fields: type, protocol, port range, and source. Let's take a look. Type, the dropdown list allows you to select common protocols like SSH, RDP, HTTP. You can also choose custom protocols. Protocol, this is typically grayed out, as it's covered by most type choices. However, if you create a custom rule, you can specify your protocol here. Port Range, this value will also usually be pre-filled, reflecting the default port range or port range for your chosen protocol. However, there might be times when you prefer to use custom ports. Source, this can be a net or subnet range, a specific IP address, or another AWS security group. You can also leave access open to the entire internet using the Anywhere value. We can clearly see here that authorization to the instance can only be permitted if the packet meets conditions within the four parameters. Again, we are not authorizing a principal here, it's the network packet itself. Security groups are a great way to authorize the use of particular ports for communication, whilst restricting all other communication over denied ports. For example, you could have a number of SQL RDS instances that you want to write to from a group of EC2 instances. In this case, you could create a security group for the SQL RDS instances, and another for the EC2 instances. You will then authorize communication to happen over specified permitted ports, such as 1433 and 1434, used by SQL, between the two groups. All other communication will be dropped and denied, which in turn enhances security on your AWS infrastructure. That brings us to the end of this lecture on authorization within AWS. Coming up next, we'll look at how we can track and order identities that have been authenticated and are authorized to access specific resources.

Network traffic classification can be used to identify different applications and protocols that exist in a network. Actions such as monitoring, discovery, control and optimization can be performed by using classified network traffic. The overall goal of network traffic classification is improving the network performance. Once the packets are classified as belonging to a particular application, they are marked. These markings or flags help the router determine appropriate service policies to be applied for those flows.
Moloch is an open source, large scale IPv4 (IPv6 soon) packet capturing (PCAP), indexing and database system. A simple web interface is provided for PCAP browsing, searching, and exporting. APIs are exposed that allow PCAP data and JSON-formatted session data to be downloaded directly. Simple security is implemented by using HTTPS and HTTP digest password support or by using apache in front. Moloch is not meant to replace IDS engines but instead work along side them to store and index all the network traffic in standard PCAP format, providing fast access. Moloch is built to be deployed across many systems and can scale to handle multiple gigabits/sec of traffic.
Cyber Security Terminology to Know in 2020 The world is changing almost faster than we can keep up. This is especially true in 2020, the year of COVID-19. Even in a global pandemic—perhaps even more so in a global pandemic when we are relying largely on the internet for communication, connection, shopping, and more—it’s important to stay ahead of the latest terms, concepts, and trends in cyber security. There’s more than one way to keep yourself safe from a virus! As we conduct our lives over the internet more and more, few people prioritise their cyber safety. Knowing at least a little bit about what’s what on the digital security scene can ensure that your online life continues unheeded by scammers, hackers, phishers, and other cybercriminals. To that end, we have put together a quick guide to the most important cyber security terms in 2020. We have included both basic terms and some new trends in cyber security. Also called data encryption, this is an important cyber security measure that protects the data of organisations and individuals. When data is encrypted it is scrambled and made unintelligible, and can only be read using an encryption key. This means that even if a cyber attack is successful in obtaining the data, it cannot be used for nefarious purposes. Social engineering attacks can take many forms including impersonating executive staff and forms of tailgating or convincing staff to gain physical access. They could also be in the nature of calls to a help desk, or using social interactions to gain staff confidence and familiarity for manipulation at a later date. Mixing psychology with cybercrime involves attackers using manipulation via email or other messaging. The end goal is to have victims disclose information which can then be used to steal money or otherwise misused. Often, it’s our human behaviour that leaves us vulnerable. Stay vigilant and never give details to a site or person if you can’t determine their Malware and anti-malware Malware is a generic term that refers to any program installed in a computer with the intent to cause harm—corrupt files, damage a system, steal information. You may hear of different types of malware such as ransomware which encrypts a victim’s data with an encryption key known only to the attacker, spyware which gathers information about your browsing habits and sends it to a third party, or trojans which are programs appearing innocuous but serving as a vehicle for some kind of harmful code. Anti-malware is a broad category of software that is used to combat various kinds of malware attack. It is a great tool in your cyber security arsenal but must be updated regularly to be effective. Expert advice can help to determine which anti-malware products would best suit your needs. Bots or robots are pieces of software (in this case, malware) that run automated tasks. They are useful for applications such as web crawling or search engines, but can also be put to malicious use to automate attacks. A botnet is a network of devices running bots, connected over the internet. The owner of the botnet can command the compromised devices and use them to perform various cyber attacks. Identity fraud is common online. Cybercriminals can invent fake identities of synthetic identities using a mixture of real and fabricated details, often used to open credit accounts and make fraudulent purchases. Cloud computing and cloud security Cloud computing and storage is becoming ever more popular for companies and individuals as a way to decentralise their digital storage, reduce dependence on their own hardware, and make it accessible from anywhere. Common applications such as Google Drive, Dropbox, and even Netflix are examples of cloud computing. It is a very helpful tool but can leave data vulnerable to attack. With the rise of the cloud, cloud security is becoming more and more an essential aspect of cyber security in general. It consists of a range of practices and technologies aimed at deterring cyber threats against cloud users, and cyber security experts like the CANDA team can advise businesses and organisations how best to use cloud security tools to keep their own and their clients’ data and systems safe. Denial of Service (DOS) attack A specific type of cyber security threat that has become common is the Denial of Service attack. These effectively shut down the systems of an organisation and shut out legitimate users so they can no longer access things such as emails, websites, and user accounts. This result is achieved by flooding the site with traffic until it cannot respond or crashes entirely. There are many reasons a cybercriminal would want to make a site or system unavailable to its intended users, including monetary or political gain. A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack involves multiple devices or sources—often a botnet is used for this. There are plenty more terms that make up the world of cyber security in 2020 but knowing those explained above will start you on the road to a better understanding. Take a look at the rest of the CANDA blog to learn more about the latest trends in cyber security as well as the best ways to keep yourself and your organisation safe. CANADA also offers cyber security planning and execution services, making it simple for businesses and groups to put together a holistic security program.
Breaking Down the Pros and Cons of AI in Cybersecurity The fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are rapidly evolving as new products and techniques are developed. And while much of the discussion surrounding AI is more philosophical in nature—such as ethics and privacy concerns, and what AI means for humanity—the development of real, practical applications marches on. Within the world of cybersecurity, AI and ML are being used to improve cybersecurity defenses and to launch more effective malware. Cybersecurity companies are using AI and ML to better detect and respond to threats. The power of AI and ML, including subspecialties like deep learning, comes in the ability to rapidly mine large amounts of data, process a huge number of signals, identify anomalies, and develop predictions. Moreover, these systems are continuously learning using new datasets to improve their abilities. But these same features that make AI and ML useful for protecting systems can also be used by bad actors to identify new vulnerabilities and improve the efficacy of their attacks. Here are some examples of how both AI and ML are being used for good—and for bad. Beneficial - Positive Use Cases Network intrusion detection products use AI to identify anomalies in user behavior or network traffic patterns which signal possible intrusions. They may, for example, analyze a program’s particular sequence of system calls to evaluate whether it is malicious. Or they may look for unauthorized external connections that may have been set up to support an intruder’s command-and-control channel. Or they may flag an unexpected escalation of a user’s privileges. Older systems relied on algorithms which seek certain signatures based on a set of rules, but as the nature of attacks evolve it becomes too difficult to manage this rule base. However, systems that use ML-based algorithms to dynamically augment and adjust its rule base can learn from ongoing patterns of traffic or behaviors to adapt to the changes over time. Rapid response to a cyberattack is important, and AI and ML techniques may be used in predictive and analytic tools to provide early alerts to potential attacks. Similar anomaly detection approaches used to detect breaches after they occur can be used to also provide alerts to possible impending breaches before they occur by, for example, detecting attempts to scan a network or deliver malware payloads which may be a precursor to an actual intrusion. Furthermore, AI and ML tools may be used to aid in isolating threats before they can damage systems or to collect forensic data to aid incident response and recovery. Some video surveillance systems use AI and ML to identify actions that are potential threats, like an object that is left behind that might be an explosive device, or to classify images, such as the color or type of vehicle to aid response. Botnets are a networked group of computers or devices that can be used to carry out a coordinated assault, such as a denial-of-service attack which floods a victim with an overwhelming amount of traffic. Botnets rely on a command-and-control structure to receive their instructions and to synchronize attacks. One attack mitigation strategy is to disrupt these command-and-control communications. But botnets often use scripted Domain Generation Algorithms (DGAs) to automatically create random addressing to set up the command-and-control structure needed to function—and to quickly restore that function if countermeasures are used to interrupt their communication. Security tools using AI to identify these automatically generated domain names are well suited to rapidly recognize these new domains and shut them down. Detrimental - Negative Use Cases Phishing emails are designed to lure victims into following malicious links or providing sensitive information. A person is much more likely to fall victim to a phishing email when it is well-crafted, using personalized information or familiar references. AI can be used to digest and analyze datasets of personal information to automate the process of creating more plausible phishing emails with relatable information. Bad actors are also looking into methods of attacking AI and ML itself to force it to incorrectly classify data or disrupt the system altogether. Training data is used during the initial development phase for a new ML system, and if a bad actor has access to the system in this phase then the data may be altered or carefully chosen to undermine the system. While people would not typically have system access at this phase, security researchers have demonstrated that when a system is in use, modifications to the data it relies on can cause an error. For example, almost imperceptible modifications to photographic or video images can change how ML systems classify those images. The malware of the future is already in development, using AI to target vulnerabilities while avoiding detection. Security researchers are working with malware code that can adapt to avoid detection from anti-virus systems. Rather than following a fixed script, this malware can learn from its own experiences to determine what works and what does not. For example, IBM Research developed DeepLocker as a proof of concept and presented it a recent Black Hat conference. DeepLocker is designed to behave as a normal video conferencing system until it recognizes the face of a specific targeted person at which point it launches the WannaCry ransomware on their system.

What is Security Source Code Review? Source code review is the practice of reviewing developed code for vulnerabilities. There are many ways to review the security of an application and it is recommended to perform more than one method to help ensure more assessment coverage. Penetration testing is great at finding certain bugs such as technical signature or API based issues. Issues related to privacy, information leakage, denial of service are more suited to code review. Source code review is also good practice as you are finding issues early in the SDLC. Locating and fixing issues early in your SDLC makes it cheaper in terms of effort and cost to remediate. It also empowers developers to understand security bugs at the source code level such that they may not repeat the same mistakes. What is static analysis? Static Code Analysis is usually performed as part of a Source code review and is carried out at the Implementation phase of SDLC. Static Code Analysis commonly refers to the running of static code analysis tools that attempts to highlight possible vulnerabilities whiting the ‘static’ (non-running) source code by using techniques such as Taint Analysis, Data Flow Analysis, Control Flow Graph, and Lexical Analysis. When the analysis is performed on a runtime environment, it is referred to as Dynamic Code Analysis. Ideally, such tools would automatically find security flaws with a high degree of confidence that what is found is indeed a flaw. However, this is beyond the state of the art for many types of application security flaws. Thus, such tools frequently serve as aids for an analyst to help them zero in on security relevant portions of code so they can find flaws more efficiently, rather than a tool that simply finds flaws automatically.
UEBA (User & Entity Behavior Analytics) is the most promising solution to fight against cyber threats and fraud as it allows us to get ahead of the attackers by detecting risks and restrict them. UEBA successfully detects malicious and abusive activity that otherwise goes unnoticed, and effectively consolidates and prioritizes security alerts sent from other systems. Organizations need to develop or acquire statistical analysis and machine learning capabilities to incorporate into their security monitoring platforms or services. Rule-based detection technology alone is unable to keep pace with the increasingly complex demands of threat and breach detection. PAE uses UEBA to provide insights on cyber security and analytics. Our solution analyses volumes of data to establish a baseline of normal user and system behavior, and flag suspicious behavior anomalies. The result is a sophisticated artificial intelligence platform that detects insider and cyber threats in real time. ProActeye can automatically correlate IP addresses with associated MAC address, device profile, location data and associated employee identity. This will help the organization to save lot of time spent on finding these details. It is capable to disable access of such application from source IP address which will act as a prevention measure on immediate basis. It is capable ro disable access based on role on the NAC. PAE is capable to associate VPN source IP address with associate MAC address, device profile, location, User identity and their role. This will help to monitor all activities done by VPN user and detect any abnormal activity. This is capable to disable access to such users. This is capable to generate Email and http alerts as well for such incidents. The system provides trend of events happening over a period of time which would help the system analyst to understand the behavior of such events and can predict the trends of such occurrence. This would prove very helpful in finding or investigating critical system issues.

Web server: nginx I am looking for a technique to auto block an IP address when for example an attacker IP makes more than 100 requests per minute. The above article mentions about rate limiting per user based on number of requests and connections. This question is not about rate limiting but denying the IP. There is a section about Denylisting IP Addresses in the above article - it says: If you can identify the client IP addresses being used for an attack, you can denylist them with the deny directive so that NGINX and NGINX Plus do not accept their connections or requests. I believe this is a manual process to observe the IP address used for an attack and then add them to the deny list. Is there a simple way to automate this?
Do you know what ZeroCrypt Ransomware is? Our cyber security specialists have recently tested a program called ZeroCrypt Ransomware. Evidently, it is a ransomware-type application whose primary objective is to encrypt the files stored on your computer and then demand that you send its developer money to get the decryption software/key. You should not comply with the request to pay and remove it instead because there is no telling whether this ransomware’s developer will send you the promised decrypter. For more information on this new computer infection, we invite you to read this short description. At the time of this description, however, ZeroCrypt Ransomware’s dissemination methods are unknown. Nevertheless, we would like to discuss some of the more likely methods that can be used to distribute it. Email spam is a ransomware developer favorite. The email contains an attached file that can feature the main executable or a dropper file that connects to the C&C server and downloads the main executable. Nevertheless, the email can also feature a link that will download this ransomware once clicked. Alternatively, it could be distributed using exploit kits featured on infected websites. Exploit kits such as the Angler Exploit kit interact with a browser’s Java and Flash browser add-ons and secretly download the ransomware when you interact with Java or Flash-based content featured on the infected website. The sample our security experts have tested created a folder named ZeroCrypt in %LOCALAPPDATA% and placed its randomly named executable file. It also created a Point of Execution (PoE) at HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, a string named ZeroCryp of which the value data features the %LOCALAPPDATA%\ZeroCrypt file path. Once the executable and PoE were in place, ZeroCrypt Ransomware began encrypting files.ZeroCrypt Ransomware screenshot Scroll down for full removal instructions Our security experts found that ZeroCrypt Ransomware uses the RSA-1024 encryption algorithm. Hence, this ransomware is set to encrypt files using a 1024-bit length key. Testing has shown that it is designed to indiscriminately encrypt almost all files in all locations on your computer. However, we have found that it skips the most vital operating system files in %WINDIR%, but this location is not excluded from the encryption process as some files in it are set to be encrypted. When this ransomware encrypts files, it also appends them with the .zn2016 file extension. Furthermore, it will create a file named ZEROCRYPT_RECOVER_INFO.txt in each folder where a file was encrypted. This particular file is the ransom note that contains information on what you are supposed to do once your files have been encrypted. The ransom note says that in order to get the decryption key to decrypt your files, you need to send 10 BTC to the provided Bitcoin wallet. 10 BTC is an approximate 7243.95 USD which is a staggering sum of money. Nevertheless, it gets better because, in order to receive the decryption program in which you have to enter the expensive key, you need to pay 100 BTC which is 72,439.38. Now, this might be some sort of mistake because one in their right mind would risk paying either one of these sums because no file is that important or valuable and there is no guarantee that you will receive the decryption key and software. In conclusion, ZeroCrypt Ransomware is a dangerous piece of software and can encrypt your personal files using an advanced encryption algorithm. At present, there is no way to decrypt its encryption key for free, so this ransomware is extremely dangerous. Its developers want you to give them money in exchange of the decryption key and software, but there is no guarantee that you will receive it. Therefore, you cannot trust its developers, and since there is no apparent way out of this situation, we recommend that you remove this ransomware using the guide below or SpyHunter, a powerful antimalware application that will delete this infection without difficulty. Delete this ransowmare’s files - Simultaneously hold down Windows+E keys. - Enter %LOCALAPPDATA% in the address box and hit Enter. - Find the folder named ZeroCrypt and Delete it. - Close the File Explorer window. - Then simultaneously hold down Windows+R keys. - Enter regedit in the box and hit Enter. - Find the registry string ZeroCrypt and delete it. In non-techie terms: ZeroCrypt Ransomware is a simple and yet dangerous ransomware-type infection that is secretly distributed using an unknown channel. If it enters a computer, it encrypts most of the files on it and then shows a ransom note that demands an unreasonable sum of money. Also, there is no telling whether the developers will give you the decryption program and key once you have paid. Therefore, you ought to delete this infection as soon as you can using our guide or SpyHunter — our recommended antimalware application.
The use of decoys as a security measure in organisations is known as honeypotting. It is through “honeypots” that this objective is achieved, by designing and deploying synthetic services attractive to attackers who, in the event of compromising the perimeter, these services will become their potential first target. This achieves two goals: the first is to stop the threat, because instead of engaging a real environment, it is focused on a synthetic decoy. And secondly, and duly treating the honeypot, to learn more about the adversary and their techniques and/or intentions, through the analysis of the evidence that these adversaries leave on the decoys. The use of honeypots is currently widespread in organisations, although it should be noted that it is the organisations with a higher degree of maturity in cybersecurity that are adapting them and taking full advantage of them.
Kops needs an S3 bucket that stores the configuration and status. In addition, use Route 53 to register the Kubernetes API server name, and etcd server name to the domain name system. Therefore, use S3 bucket and use the Route 53 that we've created in the previous section. Kops supports a variety of configurations, such as deploying to public subnets, private subnets, using different types and number of EC2 instances, high availability, and overlaying networks. Let's configure Kubernetes with a similar configuration of network in the previous section as follows:

Today, virtualization technology is ubiquitously woven into nearly every technical field and conversation, taking place in the world of Information Technology (IT), because it can provide various benefits in terms of cost effectiveness, availability, hardware utilization, resource protection, remote access, and other capability enhancements. As a result, the implications of virtual computing environments become profound and drive a shift in the fundamentals of information systems design, operation, and management. However, virtualization also introduces new challenges and concerns related to implementing secure virtualized computing environments. Therefore, in this paper we first discuss common exploits of security properties in virtualized computing environments and analyze their security vulnerabilities from the perspective of attackers. Consequently, we identify and discuss the main areas of virtualized information system design and operation in which security concerns must be addressed. Finally, we present our recommendations and future trends for trusted virtualized computing environments.
ICANN on collision path for ccTLDs The board of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has signalled its intent to recommend that the same Name Collision provisions that were put in place for new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) are also applied to newly launching country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs). By ICANN's own definition: "a name collision occurs when users unknowingly access a name that has been delegated in the public DNS when the user’s intent was to access a resource identified by the same name in a private network. Circumstances like these, where the administrative boundaries of private and public name spaces overlap and name resolution yields unintended results, present concerns and should be avoided if possible. However, the collision occurrences themselves are not the concern, but whether such collisions cause unexpected behaviour or harm, the nature of the unexpected behaviour or harm and the severity of consequence." The crucial part of the above definition is ‘private network’. This is where the issues of Name Collision have their roots. ‘Private networks’ is a catch-all term to describe, amongst other things, company intranets, email systems, document management systems and servers that host applications and content that is only available to users of the network. Private networks operate on similar principles to those of the public Internet. That is to say, IP addresses are used to direct users of the network to the correct resource on the network, be that the company intranet or an application hosted within the network. Just like on the public Internet, private networks make use of "domain names" which are mapped over IP addresses when building a private network, writing software and applications and deploying these to the network. However, the key difference between private networks and the public Internet is that, when domain names are used within the private network, they are often not actual registered domain names or Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs). Often developers and those constructing a network would use fictional domain names to direct resources. This was not problematic as the fictional domain names would use extensions that did not exist in the global Domain Name System (DNS). As domain names with these extensions could not exist in the global DNS, developers and network administrators knew that it would not be possible for their systems to leak out data to the public Internet, as such queries would be unable to resolve and thus all of the private traffic on their networks would stay within their private networks. However, as new domain name extensions are delegated to the global DNS, the possibility for FQDNs to be registered that correspond with fictional domain names used in private networks significantly increased and thus ICANN's Name Collision provisions came into being. As a result of this, all new gTLD registries had to either block a pre-determined list of problematic domain names from registration or wildcard their TLD for a period of 90 days in order to capture any private network traffic that was leaking into the global DNS as a result of the delegation of that gTLD. ICANN is now proposing to make a recommendation that newly launching ccTLD registries also implement the same Name Collision measures. As a result of this, ICANN has instructed the Country-Code Names Supporting Organisation to start a study to determine the impact of Name Collisions associated with the launch of new ccTLD extensions.

FireEye released a Free automated analysis tool FLASHMINGO, which enables malware analysts to detect suspicious flash samples and to investigate them. The tool integrates various analysis workflows as a stand-alone application or as a powerful library and it can be extended via Python plug-ins. Adobe flash remains as the most exploited software by attackers, it has more than one thousand CVEs assigned till date and almost nine hundred of these vulnerabilities have CVSS score near of nine or higher. “We must find a compromise between the need to analyze Flash samples and the correct amount of resources to be spent on a declining product. To this end, we developed FLASHMINGO, a framework to automate the analysis of SWF files,” read FireEye blog post. FLASHMINGO leverages the open source framework SWIFFAS to parse the Flash files. With FLASHMINGO all the binary data and bytecode are parsed and stored as SWFObject. The SWFObject contains a list of tags that include information about all methods, strings, constants and embedded binary data, to name a few. The tool is a collection of plug-ins that cover a wide range of common analysis that operates SWFObject and extracts the following information. - Find suspicious method names. Many samples contain method names used during development, like “run_shell” or “find_virtualprotect”. This plug-in flags samples with methods containing suspicious substrings. - Find suspicious constants. The presence of certain constant values in the bytecode may point to malicious or suspicious code. For example, code containing the constant value 0x5A4D may be shellcode searching for an MZ header. - Find suspicious loops. Malicious activity often happens within loops. This includes encoding, decoding, and heap spraying. This plug-in flags method containing loops with interesting operations such as XOR or bitwise AND. It is a simple heuristic that effectively detects most encoding and decoding operations, and otherwise, the interesting code to further analyse. - Retrieve all embedded binary data. - A decompiler plug-in that uses the FFDEC Flash Decompiler. This decompiler engine, written in Java, can be used as a stand-alone library. Since FLASHMINGO is written in Python, using this plug-in requires Jython to interoperate between these two languages. FLASHMINGO can be extended by adding your own plug-in, it has all the plug-ins listed under the plug-ins directory, you can copy your plugin to the template directory, rename it, and edit its manifest and code. “Even though Flash is set to reach its end of life at the end of 2020 and most of the development community has moved away from it a long time ago, we predict that we’ll see Flash being used as an infection vector for a while.” FLASHMINGO offers malware analysts a flexible framework to deal with Flash samples, you can download the tool from the GitHub Repository.

Recently the content distribution networks (CDNs) have been highlighted as the new network paradigm which can improve latency for Web access. In CDNs, the content location strategy and request routing techniques are important technical issues. Both of them should be used in an integrated manner in general, but CDN performance applying both these technologies has not been evaluated in detail. In this paper, we investigate the effect of integration of these techniques. For request routing, we focus on a request routing technique applied active network technology, Active Anycast, which improves both network delay and server processing delay. For content distribution technology, we propose a new strategy, Popularity-Probability, whose aim corresponds with that of Active Anycast. Performance evaluation results show that integration of Active Anycast and Popularity-Probability can hold stable delay characteristics. Information protection schemes on mobile phones become important challenges because mobile phones have many types of private information. In general, user authentication and anomaly detection are effective to prevent attacks by illegal users. However, the user authentication can be applied only at the beginning of use and the conventional anomaly detection is not suited for mobile phones, only but computer systems. In this paper, we propose a simple and easy-to-use anomaly detection scheme on mobile phones. The scheme records the keystrokes as the mobile phone is operated, and an anomaly detection algorithm calculates a score of similarity, to detect illegal users. We implemented a prototype system on the BREW (Binary Run-time Environment for Wireless) emulator and evaluated error rates by using results from 15 testers. From experiments results, we show the proposed scheme is able to apply the anomaly detection by checking the similarity score several times. In an ad hoc network, we cannot assume a trusted certificate authority and a centralized repository that are used in ordinary Public-Key Infrastructure (PKI). Hence a PKI system of the web-of-trust type in which each node can issue certificates to others in a self-organizing manner has been studied. Although this system is useful for ad hoc networks, it has the problem that for authentication a node needs to find a certificate-chain to the destination node. In this paper, we formally model a web-of-trust-type PKI system, define the certificate-chain discovery problem, and propose a new distributed algorithm and its modification that solve the problem. Furthermore, we propose a measure of communication cost, and according to the measure, we compare our algorithm with an existing method by numerical computation for large-size networks and by simulation on randomly generated unit disk graphs for moderate-size networks. The simulation results show that the communication cost of the proposed method is less than 10% of the existing method. Collision Warning Systems (CWS) can help reduce the probability and severity of car accidents by providing some sort of appropriate warning to the driver through Inter-Vehicle Communication (IVC). Especially, the CWS can help avoid collision at intersections where traffic accidents are frequent (Study Group for Promotion of ASV; Traffic Bureau, 2007). A vehicle equipped with the CWS periodically broadcasts its information, and the CWS on other vehicles use the received information to alert drivers, helping them become aware of the existence of other vehicles. To avoid collision, the CWS has concrete objectives of IVC, i.e., the CWS should receive useful information accurately and in time. Many IVC protocols including our previously proposed relay control protocol (Motegi, et al., 2006) have been developed and evaluated through traditional metrics. However, instead of using such traditional metrics directly, many requirements of the intersection CWS must be considered to judge the feasibility and practicability of IVC protocols. This paper shows performance evaluation of our previous IVC protocol developed for CWS. To study the behavior of IVC protocols, we first describe a simulation methodology including performance metrics by means of reliable and timely communications. We then use such metrics to compare our IVC protocol with the flooding protocol in large-scale simulated networks. The simulation results show that our previously proposed protocol is a good candidate for real implementation because it passes all requirements of the intersection CWS. Program transformation by templates (Huet and Lang, 1978)is a technique to improve the efficiency of programs. In this technique, programs are transformed according to a given program transformation template. To enhance the variety of program transformation, it is important to introduce new transformation templates. Up to our knowledge, however, few works discuss about the construction of transformation templates. Chiba, et al. (2006) proposed a framework of program transformation by template based on term rewriting and automated verification of its correctness. Based on this framework, we propose a method that automatically constructs transformation templates from similar program transformations. The key idea of our method is a second-order generalization, which is an extension of Plotkin's first-order generalization (1969). We give a second-order generalization algorithm and prove the soundness of the algorithm. We then report about an implementation of the generalization procedure and an experiment on the construction of transformation templates. Rewriting induction (Reddy, 1990) is a method to prove inductive theorems of term rewriting systems automatically. Koike and Toyama(2000) extracted an abstract principle of rewriting induction in terms of abstract reduction systems. Based on their principle, the soundness of the original rewriting induction system can be proved. It is not known, however, whether such an approach can be adapted also for more powerful rewriting induction systems. In this paper, we give a new abstract principle that extends Koike and Toyama's abstract principle. Using this principle, we show the soundness of a rewriting induction system extended with an inference rule of simplification by conjectures. Inference rules of simplification by conjectures have been used in many rewriting induction systems. Replacement of the underlying rewriting mechanism with ordered rewriting is an important refinement of rewriting induction — with this refinement, rewriting induction can handle non-orientable equations. It is shown that, based on the introduced abstract principle, a variant of our rewriting induction system based on ordered rewriting is sound, provided that its base order is ground-total. In our system based on ordered rewriting, the simplification rule extends those of the equational fragment of some major systems from the literature. We present LCP Merge, a novel merging algorithm for merging two ordered sequences of strings. LCP Merge substitutes string comparisons with integer comparisons whenever possible to reduce the number of character-wise comparisons as well as the number of key accesses by utilizing the longest common prefixes (LCP) between the strings. As one of the applications of LCP Merge, we built a string merge sort based on recursive merge sort by replacing the merging algorithm with LCP Merge and we call it LCP Merge sort. In case of sorting strings, the computational complexity of recursive merge sort tends to be greater than O(n lg n) because string comparisons are generally not constant time and depend on the properties of the strings. However, LCP Merge sort improves recursive merge sort to the extent that its computational complexity remains O(n lg n) on average. We performed a number of experiments to compare LCP Merge sort with other string sorting algorithms to evaluate its practical performance and the experimental results showed that LCP Merge sort is efficient even in the real-world. In this paper, we propose d-ACTM/VT, a network-based worm detection method that effectively detects hit-list worms using distributed virtual AC tree detection. To detect a kind of hit-list worms named Silent worms in a distributed manner, d-ACTM was proposed. d-ACTM detects the existence of worms by detecting tree structures composed of infection connections as edges. Some undetected infection connections, however, can divide the tree structures into small trees and degrade the detection performance. To address this problem, d-ACTM/VT aggregates the divided trees as a tree named Virtual AC tree in a distributed manner and utilizes the tree size for detection. Simulation result shows d-ACTM/VT reduces the number of infected hosts before detection by 20% compared to d-ACTM. Previous research examined how extrinsic and intrinsic factors influence customers to shop online. Conversely, the impact of these factors on customer retention in Internet shopping has not been examined. This study is one of the few attempts to investigate the perceived benefit factors effecting customers' continuance of purchasing items through the Internet. According to an online questionnaire filled out by 1, 111 online customers to conduct a multiple regression analysis, extrinsic benefits measured in terms of time and money savings, social adjustment, and self-enhancement as well as intrinsic benefits measured in terms of pleasure and novelty as well as fashion involvement have strong effects on the continuance of purchasing. Our findings indicate that customer retention must be promoted in Internet shopping by guaranteeing not only extrinsic benefits but also intrinsic benefits. This study discusses the relevant techniques providing those benefits to customers and guidelines for future research. Since Semantic Web is increasing in size and variety of resources, it is difficult for users to find the information that they really need. Therefore, it is necessary to provide an efficient and precise method without explicit specification for the Web resources. In this paper, we proposed the novel approach of integrating four processes for Web resource categorization. The processes can extract both the explicit relations extracted from the ontologies in a traditional way and the potential relations inferred from existing ontologies by focusing on some new challenges such as extracting important class names, using WordNet relations and detecting the methods of describing the Web resources. We evaluated the effectiveness by applying the categorization method to a Semantic Web search system, and confirmed that our proposed method achieves a notable improvement in categorizing the valuable Web resources based on incomplete ontologies. Future networks everywhere will be connected to innumerable Internet-ready home appliances. A device accepting connections over a network must be able to verify the identity of a connecting device in order to prevent device spoofing and other malicious actions. In this paper, we propose a security mechanism for an inter-device communication. We state the importance of a distingushing and binding mechanism between a device's identity and its ownership information to realize practical inter-device authentication. In many conventional authentication systems, the relationship between the device's identity and the ownership information is not considered. Therefore, we propose a novel inter-device authentication framework guaranteeing this relationship. Our prototype implementation employs a smart card to maintain the device's identity, the ownership information and the access control rules securely. Our framework efficiently achieves secure inter-device authentication based on the device's identity, and authorization based on the ownership information related to the device. We also show how to apply our smart card system for inter-device authentication to the existing standard security protocols. Peer-to-Peer multimedia streaming is expected to grow rapidly in the near future. Packet losses during transmission are a serious problem for streaming media as they result in degradation of the quality of service (QoS). Forward Error Correction (FEC) is a promising technique to recover the lost packets and improve the QoS of streaming media. However, FEC may degrade the QoS of all streaming due to the increased congestion caused by the FEC overhead when streaming sessions increase. Although streaming media can be categorized into live and on-demand streaming contents, conventional FEC methods apply the same FEC scheme for both contents without distinguishing them. In this paper, we clarify the effective ranges where each conventional FEC and Retransmission scheme works well. Then, we propose a novel FEC method that distinguishes two types of streaming media and is applied for on-demand streaming contents. It can overcome the adverse effect of the FEC overhead in on-demand streaming contents during media streaming and therefore reduce the packet loss due to the FEC overhead. As a result, the packet loss ratios of both live and on-demand streaming contents are improved. Moreover, it provides the QoS according to the requirements and environments of users by using layered coding of FEC. Thus, packet losses are recovered at each end host and do not affect the next-hop streaming. The numerical analyses show that our proposed method highly improves the packet loss ratio compared to the conventional method. The performance of a network server is directly influenced by its network I/O management architecture, i.e., its network I/O multiplexing mechanism. Existing benchmark tools focus on the evaluation of high-level service performance of network servers that implement specific application-layer protocols or the evaluation of low-level communication performance of network paths. However, such tools are not suitable for performance evaluation of server architectures. In this study, we developed a benchmark tool for network I/O management architectures. We implemented five representative network I/O management mechanisms as modules: multi-process, multi-thread, select, poll, and epoll. This modularised implementation enabled quantitative and fair comparisons among them. Our experimental results on Linux 2.6 revealed that the select-based and poll-based servers had no performance advantage over the others and the multi-process and multi-thread servers achieved a high performance almost equal to that of the epoll-based server. As increasing clock frequency approaches its physical limits, a good approach to enhance performance is to increase parallelism by integrating more cores as coprocessors to general-purpose processors in order to handle the different workloads in scientific, engineering, and signal processing applications. In this paper, we propose a many-core matrix processor model consisting of a scalar unit augmented with b×b simple cores tightly connected in a 2D torus matrix unit to accelerate matrix-based kernels. Data load/store is overlapped with computing using a decoupled data access unit that moves b×b blocks of data between memory and the two scalar and matrix processing units. The operation of the matrix unit is mainly processing fine-grained b×b matrix multiply-add (MMA) operations. We formulate the data alignment operations including matrix transposition and skewing as MMA operations in order to overlap them with data load/store. Two fundamental linear algebra algorithms are designed and analytically evaluated on the proposed matrix processor: the Level-3 BLAS kernel, GEMM, and the LU factorization with partial pivoting, the main step in solving linear systems of equations. For the GEMM kernel, the maximum speed of computing measured in FLOPs/cycle is approached for different matrix sizes, n, and block sizes, b. The speed of the LU factorization for relatively large values of n ranges from around 50-90% of the maximum speed depending on the model parameters. Overall, the analytical results show the merits of using the matrix unit for accelerating the matrix-based applications. Skeletal parallel programming makes both parallel programs development and parallelization easier. The idea is to abstract generic and recurring patterns within parallel programs as skeletons and provide them as a library whose parallel implementations are transparent to the programmer. SkeTo is a parallel skeleton library that enables programmers to write parallel programs in C++ in a sequential style. However, SkeTo's matrix skeletons assume that a matrix is dense, so they are incapable of efficiently dealing with a sparse matrix, which has many zeros, because of duplicated computations and commutations of identical values. This problem is solved by re-formalizing the matrix data type to cope with sparse matrices and by implementing a new C++ class of SkeTo with efficient sparse matrix skeletons based on this new formalization. Experimental results show that the new skeletons for sparse matrices perform well compared to existing skeletons for dense matrices. We study the control operators “control” and “prompt” which manage part of continuations, that is, delimited continuations. They are similar to the well-known control operators“shift” and “reset”, but differ in that the former is dynamic, while the latter is static. In this paper, we introduce a static type system for “control”and “prompt” which does not use recursive types. We design our type system based on the dynamic CPS transformation recently proposed by Biernacki, Danvy and Millikin. We also introduce let-polymorphism into our type system, and show that our type system satisfies several important properties such as strong type soundness. We present a novel algorithm to predict transmembrane regions from a primary amino acid sequence. Previous studies have shown that the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is one of the powerful tools known to predict transmembrane regions; however, one of the conceptual drawbacks of the standard HMM is the fact that the state duration, i.e., the duration for which the hidden dynamics remains in a particular state follows the geometric distribution. Real data, however, does not always indicate such a geometric distribution. The proposed algorithm utilizes a Generalized Hidden Markov Model (GHMM), an extension of the HMM, to cope with this problem. In the GHMM, the state duration probability can be any discrete distribution, including a geometric distribution. The proposed algorithm employs a state duration probability based on a Poisson distribution. We consider the two-dimensional vector trajectory consisting of hydropathy index and charge associated with amino acids, instead of the 20 letter symbol sequences. Also a Monte Carlo method (Forward/Backward Sampling method) is adopted for the transmembrane region prediction step. Prediction accuracies using publicly available data sets show that the proposed algorithm yields reasonably good results when compared against some existing algorithms. This paper proposes a novel clustering method based on graph theory for analysis of biological networks. In this method, each biological network is treated as an undirected graph and edges are weighted based on similarities of nodes. Then, maximal components, which are defined based on edge connectivity, are computed and the nodes are partitioned into clusters by selecting disjoint maximal components. The proposed method was applied to clustering of protein sequences and was compared with conventional clustering methods. The obtained clusters were evaluated using P-values for GO(GeneOntology) terms. The average P-values for the proposed method were better than those for other methods. Protein-protein interactions play an important role in a number of biological activities. We developed two methods of predictingprotein-protein interaction site residues. One method uses only sequence information and the other method uses both sequence and structural information. We used support vector machine (SVM) with a position specific scoring matrix (PSSM) as sequence information and accessible surface area(ASA) of polar and non-polar atoms as structural information. SVM is used in two stages. In the first stage, an interaction residue is predicted by taking PSSMs of sequentially neighboring residues or taking PSSMs and ASAs of spatially neighboring residues as features. The second stage acts as a filter to refine the prediction results. The recall and precision of the predictor using both sequence and structural information are 73.6% and 50.5%, respectively. We found that using PSSM instead of frequency of amino acid appearance was the main factor of improvement of our methods. Comparative analysis of organisms with metabolic pathways gives important information about functions within organisms. In this paper, we propose a new method for comparing the metabolic pathways with reaction structures that include important enzymes. In this method, subgraphs from pathways that include `choke point' or `load point' are extracted as important “reaction structures, ” and a “reaction structure profile, ” which represents whether extracted reaction structures are observed in the metabolic pathway of other organisms, is created. Distance regarding function within organisms between species is defined using the “reaction structure profile.”By applying the proposed method to the metabolic networks of 64 representative organisms selected from Archaea, Eubacteria and Eukaryote in the KEGG database, we succeed in reconstructing a phylogenetic tree, and confirm the effectiveness of the method. Chemical and biological activities of compounds provide valuable information for discovering new drugs. The compound fingerprint that is represented by structural information of the activities is used for candidates for investigating similarity. However, there are several problems with predicting accuracy from the requirement in the compound structural similarity. Although the amount of compound data is growing rapidly, the number of well-annotated compounds, e.g., those in the MDL Drug Data Report (MDDR)database, has not increased quickly. Since the compounds that are known to have some activities of a biological class of the target are rare in the drug discovery process, the accuracy of the prediction should be increased as the activity decreases or the false positive rate should be maintained in databases that have a large number of un-annotated compounds and a small number of annotated compounds of the biological activity. In this paper, we propose a new similarity scoring method composed of a combination of the Tanimoto coefficient and the proximity measure of random forest. The score contains two properties that are derived from unsupervised and supervised methods of partial dependence for compounds. Thus, the proposed method is expected to indicate compounds that have accurate activities. By evaluating the performance of the prediction compared with the two scores of the Tanimoto coefficient and the proximity measure, we demonstrate that the prediction result of the proposed scoring method is better than those of the two methods by using the Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) method. We estimate the prediction accuracy of compound datasets extracted from MDDR using the proposed method. It is also shown that the proposed method can identify active compounds in datasets including several un-annotated compounds. The number of biological databases has been increasing rapidly as a result of progress in biotechnology. As the amount and heterogeneity of biological data increase, it becomes more difficult to manage the data in a few centralized databases. Moreover, the number of sites storing these databases is getting larger, and the geographic distribution of these databases has become wider. In addition, biological research tends to require a large amount of computational resources, i.e., a large number of computing nodes. As such, the computational demand has been increasing with the rapid progress of biological research. Thus, the development of methods that enable computing nodes to use such widely-distributed database sites effectively is desired. In this paper, we propose a method for providing data from the database sites to computing nodes. Since it is difficult to decide which program runs on a node and which data are requested as their inputs in advance, we have introduced the notion of “data-staging” in the proposed method. Data-staging dynamically searches for the input data from the database sites and transfers the input data to the node where the program runs. We have developed a prototype system with data-staging using grid middleware. The effectiveness of the prototype system is demonstrated by measurement of the execution time of similarity search of several-hundred gene sequences against 527 prokaryotic genome data. We accelerate the time-consuming iterations for projective reconstruction, a key component of self-calibration for computing 3-D shapes from feature point tracking over a video sequence. We first summarize the algorithms of the primal and dual methods for projective reconstruction. Then, we replace the eigenvalue computation in each step by the power method. We also accelerate the power method itself. Furthermore, we introduce the SOR method for accelerating the subspace fitting involved in the iterations. Using simulated and real video images, we demonstrate that the computation sometimes becomes several thousand times faster. This paper proposes a novel method, Hierarchical Importance Sampling (HIS) that can be used instead of population convergence in evolutionary optimization based on probability models (EOPM)such as estimation of distribution algorithms and cross entropy methods. In HIS, multiple populations are maintained simultaneously such that they have different diversities, and the probability model of one population is built through importance sampling by mixing with the other populations. This mechanism can allow populations to escape from local optima. Experimental comparisons reveal that HIS outperforms general EOPM.
A company’s domain name equates to the company’s reputation and this is why it needs to be protected from tampering online. For this reason, companies need to use a free dns blocker to protect their domain. There are numerous strategies to block unwanted outgoing DNS requests, such as the use of a free DNS blocker. Other examples of a DNS block is by browser settings and extensions and .hosts files. While free DNS blocker won't influence direct accesses to a numeric IP address, free DNS blocker can be easily executed to block entire domains and their subdomains, for a whole network rather than per application or per gadget. DNS may not be the place to do such blocking, but rather free DNS blocker can be very effective, particularly as a major aspect of an in-depth defense strategy. Although for simple privacy and security blocking purposes, you can use a free DNS blocker so it might configure the DNS server to return an error page or non-existent domain for blacklisted domains and subdomains. DNS blocking is performed by a free DNS blocker for malicious domains using three classifications: In many cases, the nonexistent domain response is simpler to implement by free DNS blocker. However, non-existent domain makes it hard to provide input to users who might click on malicious links or attempt to work around the block, not knowing it is a security violation. These three choices give you a variety of decisions in planning your malicious communications so that you are able not only to limit risk but also to recover devices that are likely infected. Some of the advantages that you can expect from a free DNS blocker: There are also some disadvantages that you can expect from a free DNS blocker: DNS provides a phonebook-like lookup of Web resources. A free DNS blocker denies the phonebook lookup or responds in a way that disables communication for a specific web asset. In this sense, free DNS blocker gives a significant defense against multiple phases of the cyber kill chain (CKC), which depicts the stages of a cyber attack. Free DNS blocker continues to play a critical role in the cybersecurity capabilities value chain. The higher end capabilities that do complex work like machine-learning will keep on benefitting from indicators such as DNS blacklists. Every enterprise should explore its role and its pertinent approach to use free DNS blocker and enable DNS blocking. Techniques used by cybercriminals keep on evolving, using more application layer attacks supported by a complex set of tools. It is essential for an enterprise defense strategy to be timely, cost-effective, and dynamic to keep on protecting its system and data. By using a free DNS blocker, cybercriminals can’t look for the critical files they need, can’t get instructions from outside, and can’t create command and control just like what they are doing before. A free DNS blocker, like Comodo Dome, is obviously one such capability to initiate and mitigate the risks related to cyber threats. Comodo Dome delivers complete web and email protection against developing threats by giving a particular DNS block. Comodo Dome is a web platform that is delivered as a Security-as-a-Service (SaaS) cloud infrastructure, consolidating progressive features such as unknown file containment, advanced threat protection, web security, sandboxing, antispam, DLP, Next Generation Firewall, bandwidth management, and a secure VPN service. By looking at the source of DNS query and plan of each DNS block, Comodo Dome can recognize even the trickiest malware. By blocking malicious DNS queries, Comodo Dome can prevent parallel movement that allows cybercriminals to maliciously use the properties of DNS. The free DNS blocker also protects against suspicious north-south traffic, preventing its most constant threats as a trigger for action. As cutting-edge threats develop more intense ways to compromise security in the most common infrastructure systems, enterprises and individuals need to look for the best cybersecurity assets wherever they can. Comodo Dome takes cybersecurity to the next level by using the DNS infrastructure as protection against this new breed of attacks. Start your FREE trial now!
Whois: Whois is a query and response protocol used to search for the registered users and information of an Internet resource. Every domain has required data, such as a name, IP address, and autonomous system. This information is recorded and stored within the Whois network. The system is largely used to check registration data. The Whois system was created in the early 1980s to look up people, domains, and related resources. At the time, all domain registration was handled by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), an agency of the United States Department of Defense that largely develops new technology to be used by the military. Because there was only one domain registrar, a person could usually find domain owner data simply by entering a person's last name into the system. However, domain registry eventually expanded to commercial, third party entities, complicating the Whois process. Moreover, many people today try to hide their information by working with domain registrars who allow domain owners, or even by using fake Whois data, a tactic popular with large scale spammers. As a result, it is now necessary to know which Whois server the information being researched is located on. As a result, tools that perform Whois proxy searches have become quite common.

This area can make reference to 4 seminal programming systems that were made for learning, And that i strongly suggest studying each of them. A typical Stay-coding ecosystem presents the learner with code over the remaining, and the output of your code on the correct. When the code is altered, the output updates instantaneously. Shorter, informal discussion of the nature on the weak spot and its repercussions. The dialogue avoids digging way too deeply into specialized depth. When the set of acceptable objects, for instance filenames or URLs, is proscribed or known, produce a mapping from a list of fixed enter values (for instance numeric IDs) to the particular filenames or URLs, and reject all other inputs. Attackers can bypass the shopper-side checks by modifying values after the checks are actually performed, or by shifting the shopper to get rid of the consumer-side checks solely. Then, these modified values can be submitted to the server. Also, a very well-developed program will not be basically a bag of functions. A superb system is built to encourage certain means of imagining, with all features carefully and cohesively intended all over that function. Think all input is destructive. Use an "take identified fantastic" enter validation approach, i.e., use a whitelist of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to requirements. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to requirements, or rework it into a thing that does. Don't depend solely on on the lookout for malicious or malformed inputs (i.e., will not count on a blacklist). Having said that, blacklists can be practical for detecting opportunity attacks or identifying which inputs are so malformed that they need to be turned down outright. Now, envision When your cookbook advised you that randomly hitting unlabeled buttons was the way you learn cooking. That way, a successful assault will not likely right away provide the attacker use of the remainder of the software program or its ecosystem. For example, database programs almost never should operate as the databases administrator, especially in day-to-day operations. Also, it can not be Employed in instances through which self-modifying code is necessary. Finally, an attack could nevertheless find out cause a denial of service, due to the fact The everyday response will be to exit the applying. Now this facility will make it easier to discover the closest station as they are able to Find online by mobile applications also. Together with code advancement time, other variables like view website discipline assistance charges and quality assurance also figure in into the return on financial commitment. Pair programming might theoretically offset these expenses by minimizing defects during the systems.[three] This visualization makes it possible for the programmer to begin to see the "shape" of the algorithm, and realize it at a better level. The program flow is no more "a single line immediately after One more", over here but a pattern of traces as time passes. Run your code in the "jail" or very similar sandbox environment that enforces demanding boundaries among the method plus the running process. This will likely properly limit which information may be accessed in a particular Listing or which commands is often executed by his response your software. OS-level illustrations involve the Unix chroot jail, AppArmor, and SELinux. On the whole, managed code could supply some protection. Such as, java.io.FilePermission during the Java SecurityManager helps you to specify constraints on file operations.
12 Feb ZERO TRUST – WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Zero trust security models assume there are threat actors both inside and outside a network, and no access should be implicitly trusted. That goes beyond perimeter-based security approaches that rely on firewalls to prevent breaches. Instead, zero trust verifies all resource access continually and enforces strict identity, data and device security across applications and ecosystems. In legacy perimeter models, users or systems that gain network entry through point authentication are free to then access approved resources without undergoing further identity checks. Once the barrier is breached, internal lateral attacker movement becomes difficult to control. Zero trust architectures mitigate this by treating even legitimate users as potential threats continuously. Security principles dictate that mere location on a network does not determine level of access. Regardless of whether inside or outside the network perimeter, users have least privilege and can only access specific resources after passing dynamic authentication hurdles per attempt. Instead of static network checkpoints, micro-segmentation and granular access policies lock down data and workflows. Multi-factor authentication (MFA), centralized identity provider management, end-to-end encryption and analytics-driven risk scoring govern access control decisions. Users must prove identity each session via rotating credentials on company-approved and secured devices before interacting with applications holding sensitive data. Firewalls and gateways still exist in zero trust models but serve mostly to enforce identity policies instead of acting as an entry barrier. Zero trust increases visibility into all assets, users and network behaviors via unified logging, analytics, and automation. Suspicious activity triggers alerts and containment workflows. Practices like deceptively tagging files (“honeytokens”) further help detect unauthorized handling. That allows finding threats faster amid expanding cloud ecosystems, IoT and remote workforces operating outside the conventional perimeter. The zero trust maxim of “never trust, always verify” provides a security-first approach suitable for application environments and workforces becoming more distributed and dynamic today due to digital transformation trends. The point is to neutralize attack vectors by removing assumptions and continuously validating connections.

Erlang B is used in a blocking system and Erlang C is used in a queueing system. With Erlang B the assumption is that an arriving call is either accepted into the system (is assigned a resource) or it is lost (blocked, sent to treatment, etc.) With Erlang C a call can queue for a period of time to see if a channel becomes free. If the time expires, the call is blocked. Erlang B is used in most public telecom networks (trunk provisioning, cell site provisioning, etc.) Erlang C is used in some networks where people call in to speak to a customer service rep (or something like that.) I hope this helps.
So far as the ransomware is worried, it merely prevents the consumer from accessing the telephone display. Not like different ransomwares, this one doesn’t encrypt the system. It merely freezes the display with a message that claims to be from a legislation enforcement company and ask for a high-quality to unlock the display. This ransomware takes benefit of the “name” notification and once they get an incoming name the ransomware will get activated. Additionally, the second the consumer presses the house button or current app button, the display will get locked with the message. “As with most Android ransomware, this new risk doesn’t truly block entry to recordsdata by encrypting them. As a substitute, it blocks entry to gadgets by displaying a display that seems over each different window, such that the consumer can’t do anything. The mentioned display is the ransom notice, which accommodates threats and directions to pay the ransom,” defined Microsoft. The report means that the code of the malware is straightforward and it may well simply unfold to a number of telephones. Customers are beneficial to keep away from downloading apps from unknown sources. Whereas there isn’t any proof that this ransomware steals private data or not, it has been confirmed that your Android telephone might turn out to be nearly ineffective. “This new cellular ransomware variant is a vital discovery as a result of the malware reveals behaviors that haven’t been seen earlier than and will open doorways for different malware to observe,” it added.
The earliest forms of access control systems assigned privileges to users. These early access control systems allowed the system administrator to enable defined privileges for users like Bob and Doug. The addition of user groups improved that situation. The system administrator could now assign privileges to groups such as Sales or Accounting and add users into those groups. Role Based Access Control (RBAC) is the next evolutionary step in access control. Role Based Access Control (RBAC) enables privileges to be assigned to arbitrary roles. Those roles can then be assigned to real users. The provides more granular control of privileges, which enhances system security. In addition, it reduces the amount of administrative effort required to add or delete system users. Role Based Access Control (RBAC) under Solaris Sun Microsystems added support for Role Based Access Control (RBAC) in Solaris 8. The Solaris Role Based Access Control (RBAC) system is an excellent model to study in order to understand Role Based Access Control (RBAC) systems in general. The building blocks of Solaris Role Based Access Control (RBAC) are Authorizations and Privileged Operations. Profiles are built from these two building blocks. These Profiles may then be added to Roles. Authorizations are rights to perform specifically defined administration functions. Authorizations are defined in the auth_attr file. The `auths` command is used to print the authorizations granted to a user. # auths will solaris.audit.read Privileged Operations are rights to execute specifically defined Solaris commands. Privileged Operations are defined in the exec_attr file. Groups of Authorizations and Privileged Operations are known as Profiles. Profiles are defined in the prof_attr file. The `profiles` command is used to print the profiles defined for a user. # profiles will Audit Management, All Commands user_attr and policy.conf Roles are special system accounts. Roles are similar to regular system users, however roles may not log into the system. The preferred method of assuming a role is to use the `su` command. The `roles` command is used to print the roles defined for a user. # roles will admin

Cyber criminals activity have been on the rise the last decade. After the incidents of CryptoLocker Ransomware, a new trojan (Casbaneiro) made its appearance. Casbaneiro, also known as Metamorfo is a typical Latin American banking trojan that mostly used in Brazil and Mexico as shown in the picture below. The trojan, by using advanced social engineering methods, displays fake pop-up windows. These pop-ups try to deceive the potential victims into entering sensitive information. What Are the Trojan’s Capabilities? The backdoor capabilities of this malware are typical of Latin American banking trojans. It can take screenshots and send them to its C&C server, simulate mouse and keyboard actions and capture keystrokes. It can also download and install updates to itself, restrict access to various websites, and download and execute other executables. Casbaneiro also collects several information about its victims. These information include the list of installed antivirus products, OS version, usernames and computer names. Also, casbaneiro utilizes several cryptographic algorithms. The algorithms include command encryption, string encryption, payload encryption and remote configuration data encryption. All these encryptions are used to protect a different type of data. The products the malware can potentially infect are Diebold Warsaw GAS Tecnologia (an application to protect access to online banking), Trusteer and several Latin American banking applications. How Casbaneiro Affects Crypto Wallets? Casbaneiro can also try to steal the victim’s cryptocurrency. It does so by monitoring the content of the clipboard and if the data seem to be a cryptocurrency wallet, it replaces them with the attacker’s own information. Furthermore, researchers have found one of the attacker’s wallet addresses which was hardcoded in the binary. To Protect Your Crypto From Cyber Criminals Having antivirus always updated and using malware scanning programs like Malwarebytes is essential. Also double check the sending address before any crypto transaction. And always, be careful where you click. Not everything in the internet are as they seem.
The basic data transport protocol for caller ID is divided into four layers, namely, The first three layers provide the actual data transport, and the application layer is used for caller ID-specific data and signaling for alerting the TE. The physical layer provides the interface between the caller ID service and the analog line. The physical layer provides two main functions of data transmission of service-specific information and signaling mainly for alerting the TE. The data transmission is performed using continuous-phase FSK modulation. Data is always sent as serial binary bits in simplex mode. Data transmission is continuous, and no carrier dropouts are allowed. The start of data transmission must not corrupt the first data bit. The data transmission is stopped immediately after the last bit of the data-link message. The FSK data is sent asynchronously at a signal level of −13.5 dBm in both ETSI and Telcordia recommendations as listed in Table 8.1. This power level is applicable at the central office. The FSK signal level may differ for each country, because of country-specific deviations of overall loudness rating (OLR) as well as because of send and receive gain/loss planning. To get a first-level understanding on ETSI and Telcordia basic specifications, a summary is given in Table 8.1. It is suggested to refer to the ETSI [ETSI ETS 300 659-1 ...

Trojan:Android/Moghava repeatedly searches for and modifies JPEG images stored on the device. Trojan:Android/Moghava was found being distributed in unofficial third party Android application websites in late 2011. Unlike most Android malware, it is not designed for monetary profit but for political ridicule. Moghava.A.s malicious activity is triggered each time the device boots, activating a service named 'stamper'. This service waits for five minutes before searching for JPEG image files stored in the memory card, looking in the /sdcard/DCIM/Camera/ location in particular because that is where pictures taken from the device.s camera are stored. For every found image file, it will superimpose another image on top of the original one. This routine will be repeated over and over in every five minutes, which effectively increases the size of the image file , and consumes the free space in the memory card. This activity continues for a certain time interval before exiting. This malware is discussed in further detail in: Q1 2012 Mobile Threat Report (PDF). Date Created: - Date Last Modified: -

Fighting modern adversaries requires having a modern security operations center (SOC), especially as organizations move to the cloud. To protect their estates against tomorrow’s threats, security professionals have often turned to more data sources and adding more security monitoring tools in their operations, both in the pursuit of maximizing their attack surface visibility and reducing time to detect and respond to threats.more → The road to next-gen SOC with SOAR security А cyber attack is expected to happen every 11 seconds in 2021, according to Cybersecurity Ventures. This fact only underlines what cybersecurity experts have been predicting for a long time – The age of SOAR security in SOCs is already at our doorstep.more → There are many things that can reduce the effectiveness of your SOC operations. We are going to look at what we think are the top 7 challenges that have the most impact on the efficient running of your SOC operations. 1.

Google introduced eight new top-level domains at the beginning of May, such as .dad, .phd, .prof, .esq, .foo, .zip, .mov, and .nexus. Over time, the nonprofit Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has lifted limitations on TLDs, allowing businesses like Google to bid to sell access to more of them. ICANN is the organization that is responsible for these TLD registrations. Domains ending with any characters like .xyz, .top, etc., are being registered by this ICANN. The two TLDs “.mov” and “.zip” are particularly well-suited for taking phishing and other types of online fraud. Cybercriminals have already begun using.zip names to trick people into believing they are downloadable files rather than URLs. Avast analysis reveals that one-third of the top 30.zip domains blocked by their threat detection engines misuse the names of well-known IT firms like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Paypal to deceive users into thinking they are files from reputable businesses. A few TLDs that Avast comes across practically raise some suspicion. These include, among others,.xyz,.online,.biz,.info,.ru,.life, and.site. .Zip Domain Security Risks Mimicking Legitimate Companies According to Avast, a big issue here is the possibility of file confusion and the resulting difficulties in distinguishing between local and remote sources, which might represent a security risk. For educational reasons, if a prototype email is created that makes use of the fact that the attachment and the link might refer to entirely separate destinations. Experts say utilizing a.zip domain to trick visitors is rather simple. Furthermore, the link preview can be altered to conceal the protocol, such as HTTP(S). The most appealing domains are those that are strongly associated with well-known, significant service providers. These include microsoft-office[.]zip, microsoft[.]zip, csgo[.]zip, google-drive[.]zip, microsoftonedrive[.]zip, googlechrome[.]zip, and amazons3[.]zip. Other perfect examples with a pdf keyword combined with a subdomain. Namely 226×227.pdf[.]zip, 2023-05.pdf[.].zip, cv3.pdf[.]zip, temp1_rsbu_12m2021.pdf[.]zip. The zip domains are attractive and perhaps enticing for fraudsters to utilize, but they create an audit trail and are simple to block. Using old WordPress installations or insecure web servers is undoubtedly more difficult than registering a domain. This is also the cause of the lesser number of prevented attacks than anticipated. Given the enormous amount of.com domains registered, it seems reasonable that their web shield blocks the majority of.com domains. A few domains jump out when they look at the remaining data, though. File Archiver In The Browser A new phishing kit, “file archiver in the browser,” exploits ZIP domains by presenting fraudulent WinRAR or Windows File Explorer windows in the browser, tricking users into executing malicious files. Security researcher mr.d0x revealed a phishing attack that involved mimicking a browser-based file archiver software like WinRAR using a .zip domain to enhance its credibility. The toolkit enables embedding a counterfeit WinRar window in the browser, creating the illusion of opening a ZIP archive and displaying its contents when accessing a .zip domain. This phishing toolkit may be used by threat actors to steal credentials and spread malware. Using “chatgpt5 [.]zip” to Trick Users Hackers also Use “chatgpt5 [.]zip” to Trick Users into Downloading Malware. Threat actors employ creative names to disguise phishing attacks, with a new TLD ‘ .ZIP’ introducing a potential threat by chatgpt5 leading to malicious sites. With internet evolution, countless gTLDs emerged for personalized web addresses, offering branding chances but also phishing opportunities that demand alertness. The inclusion of ‘.ZIP’ as a gTLD adds complexity to phishing detection, particularly due to its association with compressed files, increasing confusion and providing phishers with a potent new tool for their attacks. The hype around ChatGPT lead to the creation and registration of “chatgpt5 [.]zip ” on May 20th, supposedly for the next GPT iteration, but surprisingly, it holds a neutral text message instead of malware. To trick the users by claiming to safeguard students from malware, “assignment[.]zip” was registered by the threat actors, redirecting visitors to a download of a ZIP archive containing completely safe files. Exploiting the widespread use of the. ZIP extension, malicious actors create campaigns and websites reminiscent of early domain squatting techniques. Phishing Attempts Using Popular Office Software Suite Filenames The cybersecurity company, Arctic Wolf has also detected some.zip domains that are being utilized for successful phishing attempts using popular office software suite filenames. Based on previous phishing campaign tactics, methods, and procedures (TTPs), they anticipate that further threat actors will continue to employ these TLDs for their phishing domains in the foreseeable future. Risk of Sensitive Information Exposure According to Talos, domains using the “.zip” and related TLDs enhance the risk of sensitive information exposure due to accidental DNS requests or web requests. As soon as the new “.zip” TLDs became available, internet browsers or messaging applications like Telegram started recognizing strings that ended in “.zip” as URLs and automatically hyperlinking them. A DNS or web request may occasionally be made in chat applications to display a thumbnail of the connected website, which is particularly troublesome. Additionally, abuse of these domains is not theoretical, with cyber intel firm Silent Push Labs already discovering what appears to be a phishing page at microsoft-office[.]zip attempting to steal Microsoft Account credentials. These developments have sparked a debate among developers, security researchers, and IT admins, with some feeling the fears are not warranted and others feeling that the ZIP and MOV TLDs add unnecessary risk to an already risky online environment. - Any.zip Top-Level Domains (TLDs) should be used with caution. - Keep a tight check on the online traffic for your business, especially on the lookout for any odd activity connected to it.TLDs in zip. - Consider putting in place extra filters for emails that include to further safeguard against possible dangers.TLDs in their content using zip. - To guarantee that it is as effective as possible against the most recent threats, always keep your antivirus software updated. - To keep ahead of potential risks, read security alerts and updates about developing threats frequently.
\|Response status codes\| \|Security access control methods\| In the most common situation, this means that when a user clicks a hyperlink in a web browser, causing the browser to send a request to the server holding the destination web page, the request may include the Referer field, which indicates the last page the user was on (the one where they clicked the link). The misspelling of referrer was introduced in the original proposal by computer scientist Phillip Hallam-Baker to incorporate the "Referer" header field into the HTTP specification. The misspelling was set in stone by the time (May 1996) of its incorporation into the Request for Comments standards document RFC 1945 (which 'reflects common usage of the protocol referred to as "HTTP/1.0"' at that time); document co-author Roy Fielding remarked in March 1995 that "neither one (referer or referrer) is understood by" the standard Unix spell checker of the period. "Referer" has since become a widely used spelling in the industry when discussing HTTP referrers; usage of the misspelling is not universal, though, as the correct spelling "referrer" is used in some web specifications such as the Referrer-Policy HTTP header or the Document Object Model. When visiting a web page, the referrer or referring page is the URL of the previous web page from which a link was followed. More generally, a referrer is the URL of a previous item which led to this request. For example, the referrer for an image is generally the HTML page on which it is to be displayed. The referrer field is an optional part of the HTTP request sent by the web browser to the web server. Many websites log referrers as part of their attempt to Many blogs publish referrer information in order to link back to people who are linking to them, and hence broaden the conversation. This has led, in turn, to the rise of referrer spam: the sending of fake referrer information in order to popularize the spammer's website. Most web servers maintain logs of all traffic, and record the HTTP referrer sent by the web browser for each request. This raises a number of privacy concerns, and as a result, a number of systems to prevent web servers being sent the real referring URL have been developed. These systems work either by blanking the referrer field or by replacing it with inaccurate data. Generally, Internet-security suites blank the referrer data, while web-based servers replace it with a false URL, usually their own. This raises the problem of referrer spam. The technical details of both methods are fairly consistent – software applications act as a proxy server and manipulate the HTTP request, while web-based methods load websites within frames, causing the web browser to send a referrer URL of their website address. Some web browsers give their users the option to turn off referrer fields in the request header. Most web browsers do not send the referrer field when they are instructed to redirect using the "Refresh" field. This does not include some versions of Opera and many mobile web browsers. However, this method of redirection is discouraged by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). If a website is accessed from a Another referrer hiding method is to convert the original link URL to a Data URI scheme-based URL containing small HTML page with a meta refresh to the original URL. When the user is redirected from the data: page, the original referrer is hidden. Content Security Policy standard version 1.1 introduced a new referrer directive that allows more control over the browser's behaviour in regards to the referrer header. Specifically it allows the webmaster to instruct the browser not to block referrer at all, reveal it only when moving with the same origin etc. - "Does your website have a leak?".

The HTTP Forwarded request header contains the IP address for the client that initiates the HTTP request. The Forwarded request header is to inform the server concerning the originating client’s IP address, as well as the addresses of intermediaries that the HTTP request has passed through. Examples of intermediaries might be forward or reverse proxy servers, a load balancer, or a content delivery network (CDN). This HTTP header can be generated, modified, or deleted by any intermediary en-route to the server. The information provided by the Forwarded request header can be used to facilitate troubleshooting or statistical reporting. It does, however, contribute to the erosion of privacy by exposing the originating IP address. The directives are by directive is optional and stores information about the interface where the HTTP request entered a proxy server. It can contain a range of values including: - A masked identifier such as hidden. This is the default value. - An IPv4 or IPv6 address, optionally with a port - The unknown identifier, indicating that the previous intermediary is not known but does exist. for directive is similar to by, with the same possible values, although it refers specifically to the client that originated the HTTP request. host directive is the HTTP Host request header field, as it is read by the intermediary. proto directive indicates the protocol that was used to make the HTTP request. This is normally either HTTP or HTTPS. The HTTP Forwarded header is used to provide information to the server about the originating client’s IP address, as well as those of the intermediaries that the HTTP request passed through.
