  UnHackMe 10 Updated Review
Posted by: tarekma7 - 01-12-2019 , 09:51 PM - Forum: Written Reviews - Replies (9)

[Image: Aopik7G.png]

A rootkit is a collection of programs that a hacker uses to mask intrusion and obtain administrator-level access to a computer or computer network. The intruder installs a rootkit on a computer using a user action, exploiting a known vulnerability or cracking a password. The rootkit installs a backdoor giving the hacker a full control of the computer. It hides their files, registry keys, and process names, and network connections from your eyes.

UnHackMe was initially created as anti-rootkit software (2005), but currently eliminates many types of malicious software, for example; search redirectin, popup ads, potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), unwanted processes, slow browsing, rootkits, trojans, spyware, keyloggers, etc.

UnHackMe uses its own database to detect which programs you should remove from your PC.
You can agree with it or not. If you find a program on the list that is OK, you can mark it as a False Positive.
An important advantage of UnHackMe is that you can find previously undetected malware by inspecting the UnHackMe results.

New Features in v10:   

UnHackMe 10.0.0.750! [15 November, 2018]: 

The program has completely redesigned interface which is now very friendly and easy to use
Improved stability.
Fixed: Adware.OpenLoad, Adware.PushMaster, Adware.Pubmatic, Adware.EXOSRV, ADW.Entionale, PUP.PremierOpinion, PUP.Microleaves.
Fixed small bugs.

UnHackMe 10.10.0.760! (December 12, 2018):

Added UnHackMe Portable version (uninstaller is included).
Fixed bug with "stealth" processes.
Fixed "infinite loop" bug during disk scanning.
Fixed: Ad.THEGOODCUSTER, AD.Cornwallsdraft, AD.Naganoadigei, Trojan.Work0, Trojan.Cloudnet.

How UnHackMe will protect your device?

UnHackMe is able to work in 3 different modes, these include normal windows mode, offline scanning when booting from USB/CD (Warrior mode), and remotely checking a computer by log file.

In the Normal Windows mode: UnHackMe removes "unwanted programs", cleans a browser, deletes Trojans, adware, and spyware.

Offline scanning when booting from USB/CD (Warrior mode):
The external check is made when a computer boots from a USB/CD device. This principle of double-checking offers a superb advantage: any suspicious code can be removed prior to getting a chance to run in your system. It is easy to locate and eliminate inactive malicious software at this stage. It also becomes easy to discover any kernel rootkits, which hide their files away, as well as registry and boot-record rootkits.

Remotely checking a computer by log file:
If you need help at any stage, you can simply send the log file. Your file will be checked to find a solution for your computer. This will be sent to you.

Warrior :

[Image: lxVnoEw.jpg]

This is a built-in tool that allows removing rootkits from the outside!It offers you a way to quickly detect and remove hidden rootkits/viruses/malware from your computer using the special boot CD. Simply, put the Warrior CD into your CD-drive and restart your computer! Warrior automatically scans your computer and gets back to the normal Windows mode.

System Requirements
The computer with Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/Seven, CD-ROM, RAM 512 Mb or higher, RegRun Security Suite or UnHackMe.

Benefits of using Warrior

Virus removal is simple when the virus is not active. The Warrior allows you to scan your computer from the "clean" Windows PE system.

Auto scanning: One time open and configure the Warrior then set your BIOS settings for boot from the CD.

Full power: You can easily remove malware from your computer, delete or restore files. The hidden rootkits are now fully visible!

No need to update Warrior CD: This is one time payment only. Warrior is quite unlike the Bart PE or UnHackMe Live. It uses the software installed on your hard drive, the antiviral databases stored on your hard drive and made exclusions. This avoids a lot of false positive alerts. Simply update your RegRun/UnHackMe software and Warrior will use the latest version.

Warrior may be used if your computer does not boot. You can check the hard drive for errors or launch another software from your hard drive or from USB stick.

The new examiner is supported by Warrior since UnHackMe 5.9.

Reveal hidden rootkits and infected system files using UnHackMe Examiner

Examiner allows you to quickly detect hidden rootkits on your computer. Examiner is a part of UnHackMe software since version 5.9!
Examiner scans the files in the Windows directory and its sub-directories, detects if the file is executable (or DLL or a system driver) and it writes calculated MD5 values to own database. After that the computer will be restarted to the RegRun Warrior boot CD mode. Examiner scans the same files again and compares with the database information. Examiner reports the hidden and changed files and allows you to check the files, delete or restore from original CD/hard drive.

Examiner Benefits

Easy-to-use: You should put Warrior CD into your CD drive and click on the Examiner button. After that Examiner will make all work without your assistance.

High speed scanning: You can check your system in five minutes. The Examiner scans the most used places of the hidden rootkits: Windows directory, Windows\System32 directory and its sub-directories etc. In addition the Examiner detects the file type using file header information and do not use file extension. This allows the Examiner to collect information only about executable files (and the DLLs and system drivers).

Examiner is not only rootkits detector: It allows you to delete the rootkit files, restore infected system drivers. If you computer does not boot normally you can check the hard drive for errors, copy files from USB sticks etc.

UnHackMe Network Shield:    

Network Shield is a built-in feature that protects your PC against malicious network activity. This includes malware & unwanted programs (PUP), Web(JS) Crypto Miners [web sites that uses JS scrtipts for coin mining in your browser] and crypto coin miners (programs, installed on your PC, that make coin mining in the background)

  Possible Bug in WhatsApp May Provide Others with Access to All Your Messages
Posted by: Mohammad.Poorya - 01-12-2019 , 06:14 PM - Forum: Security News - No Replies

Quote:An issue in instant messaging application WhatsApp may provide others with full access to your conversations when replacing phone numbers.

Amazon employee Abby Fuller has reported a potential bug that gained a lot of exposure online lately: when setting up WhatsApp on a new device using a new phone number, the full message archive of the previous owner was restored on the phone.

“Yes it was a new device. No it wasn't second hand. It was not a second hand SIM. Yes I'm sure they weren't my messages, or groups that I was added to. Yes they were in plaintext. I am sure it's my phone number. It was not restored from a backup,” she explained in a follow-up tweet.

Other users who joined the conversation confirmed this happened on their devices as well, also when setting up WhatsApp with a new phone number.

According to WhatsApp’s own support documents, the message history associated with a specific phone number is completely removed after 45 days of inactivity.

“Remember to delete your old account. However, if you didn’t delete your account and no longer have access to your old phone, don’t worry. If the new owner of your old number activates WhatsApp on a new phone after 45 days, all of your account information tied to that phone number will be completely deleted,” WhatsApp says.

Just a bug?
But as Abby Fuller explains on Twitter, this isn’t the case here, as she owned the phone number for more than 45 days, so the message history wasn’t supposed to be there anymore.

“This number has been mine > 45 days (multiple month). Seems like the messages should have been wiped with the account but weren't (or were resent). Either way, account should have been wiped and was not,” she said.

While WhatsApp hasn’t offered an official statement on this, others explain this all happens because the phone number is the unique identifier of the user ID. However, there are questions that need to be answered regarding the storing of user messages, especially when these are restored on new devices.

As PiunikaWeb notes, all evidence seems to indicate this is a bug, so it remains to be seen how and if WhatsApp is planning to resolve it.

  Yet Another Bypass: Is 2FA Broken? Authentication Experts Weigh In
Posted by: Bjyda - 01-12-2019 , 04:52 PM - Forum: Security News - No Replies

A penetration testing tool called Modlishka can defeat two-factor authentication in the latest 2FA security issue. We asked a roundtable of experts what it all means.
A penetration testing tool published by Polish security researcher Piotr Duszyński can bypass login protections for accounts protected by two-factor authentication (2FA). In his write-upon the tool, (which is dubbed Modlishka, meaning “mantis” in English), he asked, “is 2FA broken?”
It’s a question that’s worth exploring, given that this isn’t the first time in recent months that 2FA has been defeated. So, to add context to this latest in a string of high-profile blows against the technology, we decided to ask authentication experts what they thought. First, a brief description of the 2FA-related hacks. Second, the roundtable responses from experts are below.
Modlishka
Modlishka is a reverse-proxy tool that Duszyński has released on GitHub. It sits between a user and whatever website that user is logging into, be it webmail, e-commerce, utility accounts, what have you. It allows the legitimate website content to display for the user – and then intercepts all of the traffic flowing back and forth. So, an attacker in real time can not only observe the victim’s credentials, but also whatever 2FA code he or she inputs. Acting quickly, the malefactor can then log into the account themselves and make cybercrime hay from there.
Any passwords are also automatically logged in the Modlishka backend panel, so even if an adversary is not sitting there waiting in front of the terminal, they can still scrape credentials passively.
“With the right reverse proxy targeting your domain over an encrypted, browser-trusted, communication channel one can really have serious difficulties in noticing that something is seriously wrong,” said Duszyński in his posting. “Add to the equation different browser bugs, that allow URL bar spoofing, and the issue might be even bigger…include lack of user awareness, and it literally means giving away your most valuable assets to your adversaries on a silver plate.”
He added that the only way to address the issue from a technical perspective is to “entirely rely on 2FA hardware tokens, that are based on U2F protocol.”
2FA Problems
In December, word came of an APT attack dubbed the Return of Charming Kitten. The campaign was tailored to get around two-factor authentication in order to compromise email accounts and start monitoring communications. It uses a similar basic premise but requires more manual work on the part of the attackers. On a fake but convincing phishing page, users are asked to enter their credential details, which the attackers enter into the real log-in page in real time. If the accounts are protected by two-factor authentication, the attackers redirect targets to a new page where victims can enter the one-time password; the attackers can then take that, enter it into the real page, and are off to the races.
Earlier in December, an Android Trojan was uncovered that steals money from PayPal accounts even with 2FA on. Posing as a battery optimization tool, it asks for excessive accessibility permissions, which allow it to observe activity on other apps. Then it lurks on the phone and waits for someone to open PayPal and log in.
“Because the malware does not rely on stealing PayPal login credentials and instead waits for users to log into the official PayPal app themselves, it also bypasses PayPal’s two-factor authentication (2FA),” explained researchers at ESET at the time. “Users with 2FA enabled simply complete one extra step as part of logging in, – as they normally would – but end up being just as vulnerable to this Trojan’s attack as those not using 2FA.”
There have been other incidents too that lead us to question the efficacy of 2FA. In August, hackers compromised a few of Reddit’s accounts with cloud and source-code hosting providers by intercepting SMS 2FA verification codes. That too was likely a phishing gambit, which Lee Munson, security researcher at Comparitech.com, said is increasingly effective at thwarting 2FA.
“While 2FA is a very good secondary line of defense, it is not infallible,” he said. “Typically, it can be circumvented via phishing – either tricking someone into revealing the 2FA identifier or, far more likely, my getting them to login to a fake version of the site they were intending to visit.”
Is It Broken?
Which brings us to the question of how much confidence should anyone really have in 2FA? Sure, these incidents were high-profile in the security community, but are they indicative of a more widespread problem where 2FA is compromised regularly? And if so, what should be next?
Threatpost asked a range of authentication experts their opinion, and the consensus seems to be that 2FA isn’t broken – but it’s certainly showing signs of fissure. Stephen Cox, vice president and chief security architect at SecureAuth, laid it out for us.
“While two-factor authentication is a step in the right direction, it falls short in addressing today’s threat landscape,” he said. “From fake login pages for popular email services to the high-profile breaches in 2018 with Yahoo and LinkedIn, there are plenty of examples of attackers who have defeated an organization’s basic two-factor authentication methods. The new reality is, basic methods such as knowledge-based questions and SMS-based one-time passwords can be evaded by attackers using simple phishing attacks and social engineering. Attackers have proven that they can intercept SMS codes or hijack users through social engineering to redirect where the texts are sent.”
Jason Kichen, vice president of Advanced Security Concepts at eSentire, noted that 2FA “has been complicated and nuanced by the continued cat-and-mouse game between attackers and defenders….we’ve seen the most simplistic (and arguably oldest) implementation, 2FA via SMS, shown to be vulnerable to a variety of types of spoofing/redirection attacks…and now we’re seeing tools (like Modlishka) that make the attack execution easier.”
A second takeaway from our roundtable is that regardless of its weaknesses, it should be implemented nonetheless given that it does add another layer of protection – even if the most widely deployed approaches are not as impervious as hoped.
“Any sort of 2FA is still leaps and bounds better than no 2FA at all,” Kichen said. “For now, far more people are not using any 2FA at all. Thus from an opportunistic attacker perspective, having the much derided 2FA via SMS means you’re a harder target than the user next to you. And for most of us, this is more than sufficient (even in a world with Modlishka in it).”
Bill Evans, vice president at One Identity, echoed the sentiment: “The bottom line is 2FA is generally really good and avoiding it because of recent news is foolish. One-factor authentication is good, two-factor is better. Relying on standards is a good way to bolster your chances of success.”
Shoring Up Existing 2FA
Speaking of bolstering success, one of the things to keep in mind is that how existing 2FA is implemented matters.
“No authentication method is perfect and 2FA is no different, but the vast majority of failings in 2FA are not failings in the technologies themselves but failings in the execution of the program,” Evans told Threatpost. “If you take shortcuts; if you don’t couple 2FA with a deep and comprehensive policy and risk program; and if you do not ingrain 2FA in your entire approach to identity and access management, you will not realize the benefits that 2FA can bring.”
Randy Abrams, senior security analyst at Webroot, pointed out that user education is also critical.
“It is far too easy to phish a person’s credentials,” he told Threatpost. “Anti-phishing education materially reduces the risk of credential (authentication) theft. User education is likely to become a prerequisite to obtain cybersecurity insurance, or a defense that reduces premiums.”
Meanwhile, some pointed out that since the compromises to date have mainly defeated the typical 2FA scheme, which uses a one-time passcode (OTP) sent to email or via text, other, more advanced forms of 2FA, like using biometrics as a second factor, should be considered. Biometrics is increasingly being adopted and users are increasingly comfortable with it, thanks to its use in iPhones and by companies like MasterCard.
“Depending on the type of 2FA, in almost all cases it still relies on two factors: what you know and what you have,” Lori Cohen, CMO at Veridium, told Threatpost. Granted, Veridium is a biometrics specialist, but her point is well taken: “By relying on only what you know, you will always be susceptible to breaches. Alternatively, the two factors you should use are: what you have, including your phone and its unique certificate, and what you are: biometrics.”
It’s important to keep in mind that even with biometrics, 2FA is merely a best practice, noted Abrams. “Multiple researchers have demonstrated that fingerprint scanners on mobile phones can be defeated,” he told us.
That said, as with OTP phishing, the danger should be put into perspective.
“The reality is that the odds of someone getting ahold of your phone and having both the skill and the motivation to break in are exceedingly small,” he said. “Authentication needs to authenticate individuals as opposed to credentials, and that is where the landscape is heading.”
On Future 2FA Development
One Identity’s Evans said that given the seemingly increasing headlines about 2FA compromise, he expects to see an escalating technology war between vendors for the most secure approach – but “fixing” 2FA with a more difficult-to-defeat second factor may all be meaningless if the user experience isn’t right.
“For the authentication landscape, it means that vendors of the most secure authentication technologies will begin to make more noise about why their solution is better than anyone else’s,” he told us. “But in essence, seismic shifts in the way people log on to protected resources generally meet several obstacles.”
These include the fact that it’s expensive and difficult to implement bleeding edge technology and most organizations are not equipped to do it. But more importantly, it needs to be frictionless so that users will actually decide to use it.
“Users rebel against change and anything that makes their lives more difficult (even if it’s the right thing to do),” he said. “Adding more hoops for users to jump through in an effort to increase security is an invitation for users to avoid security altogether and find ways around your protections. So, the tone of the conversation will change – temporarily – but reality will quickly push security-conscious organizations to continue on the steady path they are already on.”
Meanwhile, Tim Helming, director of product management at DomainTools, took a more hopeful tone and told us that he has faith in well-resourced white-hats to keep winning the cat-and-mouse authentication game.
“Given the attacks we’re seeing, it is safe to assume that the major players such as Google, Apple, etc., are well aware of the state of things, and are at work on ever-better methods of security for various kinds of transactions,” he told us. “We have seen new technologies that are, to date, very successful at securing sensitive communications–Apple Pay is a good example.”

  Demand for cybersecurity first responders rises as salaries shoot up
Posted by: Bjyda - 01-12-2019 , 04:32 PM - Forum: Security News - No Replies

undefinedAs cybersecurity’s importance grows among organizations, a new role that has emerged and is in demand across technology companies is that of cybersecurity first responders (CFR), who are increasingly being hired at junior and mid levels, according to HR experts. 

These professionals are the first line of defence when an organisation is under a cyber attack. Along with that they are responsible for defending organisations from potential cyber attacks as well as investigate these when they happen.

Experts tracking the space say there are certified courses available to become a CFR. Just like how fire drills are performed in organizations, CFRs are trained in how to safeguard systems when under cyber attack, elaborate the experts.

Industry experts say, CFRs are the most skilled professionals at the moment. Global in-house centres (GICs) and other IT consulting companies are hiring CFRs at junior to mid-levels with two years of experience for an average salary of around Rs 15 lakh. Professionals with 2-3 years of experience draw upto Rs 20 lakh annually while someone with 5-8 years of experience is offered anywhere between Rs 35-40 lakh, annually. CISOs on the other hand now earn in excess of Rs 2 crore.

Experts say that cybersecurity professionals now seek 50-100% salary hike while the average salary hike a year ago was at 25%. Some of the top companies to hire cybersecurity roles include IBM India, InfosysDell India, HP India, Amazon India.

The other job roles that are in demand in the cybersecurity sector are that of network security engineers, cybersecurity analysts, security architects and chief information security officer (CISO). “IT firms largely hired CISOs in the first wave of cybersecurity hiring 2-3 years ago. This was followed by private BFSI firms recruiting or dedicating CISO roles, then public sector banks came into the picture. In 2018 we have seen non-IT, BFSI companies (FMCG, pharma, retail, manufacturing) recruiting CISOs along with a new demand for CFRs,” says Kamal Kanth, co-founder of HR consulting firm Xpheno. 

A PWC report said that over 80% companies now have a CISO in the management team.

“There are many shifts which are happening on the cybersecurity front like the formalisation of the CISO role which is seen across all industries. Also, CISOs now directly report to boards instead of CIOs,” said Anil Bhasin, VP India & SAARC - Palo Alto Networks. Talking to ETTech, Vishal Salvi, CISO at Infosys, said, “The cyber security industry has been growing much faster than the IT industry. However, one important trend that we see is that clients are facing a major shortage of highly skilled trained people who solve such security challenges.” These industry insiders sayd cybersecurity professionals are hired at nearly 100% hike these days.

“Overall, the cybersecurity space in India has been gaining momentum with the growth of startups, in-house cybersecurity operations and IT services which are expanding their offerings in the space. These companies are reporting a growth of 50-60% in their revenues from this segment. This is why they are expanding their hiring at campus placements and mid-levels, “ says Rama Vedashree, chief executive officer at Data Security Council of India.

  Ryuk ransomware gang probably Russian, not North Korean
Posted by: Mohammad.Poorya - 01-11-2019 , 08:06 PM - Forum: Security News - No Replies

Quote:The Ryuk ransomware is most likely the creation of Russian financially-motivated cyber-criminals, and not North Korean state-sponsored hackers, according to reports published this week by four cyber-security firms --Crowdstrike, FireEye, Kryptos Logic, and McAfee.

These companies published these reports this week after several news outlets incorrectly attributed a Ryuk ransomware infection at a major US news media group that took place over the Christmas holiday on North Korean hackers

However, evidence suggests that the ransomware was created by a criminal group that Crowdstrike calls Grim Spider, who appears to have bought a version of the Hermes ransomware from a hacking forum, and modified it to their own requirements into what now is known as the Ryuk ransomware.

The confusion comes from the fact that North Korean state hackers deployed a version of the Hermes ransomware on the network of the Far Eastern International Bank (FEIB) in Taiwan after carrying out a hack in October 2017.

Researchers believe North Korean hackers bought the same Hermes ransomware kit from hacking forums, like the Grim Spider group, and deployed it on the bank's network as a distraction and to cover the tracks of their cyber-heist, and that there is no connection between the Pyongyang regime's hackers and the Ryuk ransomware strain.

  KeePass Password Safe 2.41 Professional
Posted by: ANkM - 01-11-2019 , 07:01 PM - Forum: Freeware - No Replies

What is KeePass?

Today you need to remember many passwords. You need a password for the Windows network logon, your e-mail account, your website's FTP password, online passwords (like website member account), etc. etc. etc. The list is endless. Also, you should use different passwords for each account. Because if you use only one password everywhere and someone gets this password you have a problem... A serious problem. The thief would have access to your e-mail account, website, etc. Unimaginable.

KeePass is a free open source password manager, which helps you to manage your passwords in a secure way. You can put all your passwords in one database, which is locked with one master key or a key file. So you only have to remember one single master password or select the key file to unlock the whole database. The databases are encrypted using the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently known (AES and Twofish). For more information, see the features page

Changes from 2.40 to 2.41:

New Features:

  • Added option 'Do not store data in the Windows clipboard history and the cloud clipboard' (the option is turned on by default; for entry clipboard commands in the main window).
  • Added option 'Esc keypress in main window' (in 'Tools' → 'Options' → tab 'Interface'), which allows to specify the action of the Esc key (ignore, lock workspace, minimize, minimize to tray, exit).
  • Added option 'Ignore search settings of groups' in the 'Find' dialog.
  • Internal data viewer: added support for zooming images using the OEM + and - keys with Ctrl.
  • Added accelerator keys (especially for labels) in various dialogs.
  • Added
    UIFlags
    bit for disabling the 'Database Settings' menu item.

  • Added workarounds for Windows RTF character encoding bug.
  • Added workaround for Mono input focus restoration problem that occurs when a form gets activated.
  • Plugins: added method to provide menu items.
  • Plugins: added property to get the edit mode of an entry dialog.
  • TrlUtil: added tab 'Validation', which shows the results of all checks that TrlUtil performs.
  • TrlUtil: the tab in the preview form that contains the currently selected control is now selected automatically.
  • TrlUtil: the preview form now shows accelerator keys permanently.
  • TrlUtil: enhanced support for derived control classes.
  • TrlUtil: the current file name is now displayed in the title bar.
  • Enhanced installer (added user directory checks, added option to open the plugins web page, component/option names can be translated now, updated NGen size estimation, improved file associations update, ...).
Improvements:
  • In order to avoid selection/Ctrl+A problems, the user name auto-completion now does not append suggestions anymore; it only shows a list of suggestions (in which a suggestion can be selected manually).
  • Improved accelerator keys in the 'Find' dialog.
  • The history list in the entry dialog now supports showing custom icons.
  • Mass entry modifications (colors/icons) now create history entries, if necessary.
  • Improved text rendering in dialog banners.
  • In the database settings dialog, the path of the database file is now shown in the dialog banner.
  • Improved selection/view preservation of the entry view.
  • While importing/synchronizing, a status dialog is displayed now if and only if the main window is not constructed completely yet (otherwise the status is displayed in the main window).
  • Improved reliability of clipboard operations.
  • Improved error reporting for the 'Paste Entries' command.
  • Renamed the automatic clipboard clearing option and added a tooltip in order to clarify the behavior of the option.
  • The commands 'Find Similar Passwords (Pairs)', 'Find Similar Passwords (Clusters)' and 'Password Quality Report' now ignore TAN entries.
  • The report of clusters of similar passwords now shows more clusters in certain cases.
  • In the 'Plugins' dialog, the plugins are now sorted alphabetically.
  • KeePass does not try to load satellite assemblies as plugins anymore.
  • Improved configuration saving when an enforced configuration file exists, but no global one.
  • Improved reading of KDBX XML documents with unknown elements.
  • The export module 'Customizable HTML File' now works fine on Unix-like systems, too.
  • On Unix-like systems: improved support for executing KeePass while no X server is running.
  • ShInstUtil: improved NGen detection on 64-bit systems.
  • TrlUtil: the preview form does not steal the input focus anymore.
  • TrlUtil: improved accelerator key check.
  • Various code optimizations.
  • Minor other improvements.
Bugfixes:
  • Fixed a bug that caused KeePass to crash when trying to view certain password generator profiles.
  • The option 'Use monospace font for passwords' in the 'Print' / HTML export dialog now works for all translations.
