This post was originally published on this site

When dealing with malware analysis, you like to get "fresh meat".  Just for hunting purposes or when investigating incidents in your organization, it’s essential to have a triage process to reduce the noise and focus on really interesting files. For example, if you detect a new sample of Agent Tesla, you don’t need to take time to investigate it deeply. Just extract IOCs to share with your colleagues. From a business point of view, you don’t have time to analyze all samples!

Malware Delivered Through .inf File, (Mon, Jun 19th)

This post was originally published on this site

Microsoft has used “.inf” files for a while[1]. They are simple text files and contain setup information in a driver package. They describe what must be performed to install a driver package on a device. When you read them, the syntax is straightforward to understand. The file is based on sections that describe what must be performed. One of them is very interesting for attackers: [RunPreSetupCommandsSection]. Note that .inf files cannot be executed “as is”.

Supervision and Verification in Vulnerability Management, (Thu, Jun 15th)

This post was originally published on this site

Managing vulnerabilities in operating systems and software can be challenging and even contentious. Opinions are divided among industry peers – some argue that security updates would be unnecessary if developers were held accountable for security vulnerabilities [1]. In contrast, others assert that updating systems as soon as possible (where applicable) was a critical best practice for users [2]. Most clients in my consulting job adopt some form of vulnerability management paradigm (quarterly vulnerability assessments and addressing discovered vulnerabilities to automated vulnerability management programs where identified vulnerabilities are addressed as soon as possible). I noticed some peculiarities while providing consultancy services to a discerning customer's automated vulnerability management program. The automated vulnerability management product will not be discussed here as it is neither the main focal point nor a debate on whether the product is trustworthy. Instead, it was serendipitous and stemmed from just a simple drive to appropriately mitigate identified vulnerabilities in all systems. Together with the client's management support, we worked together to address the vulnerability in question while ensuring it was fully mitigated.
