Antonio `s4tan` Parata, software security researcher and member of the ush team interviews Rain Forest Puppy, famous bug hunter, specialized in web application assessment. It's a pleasure for us to publish the full interview, in this case talk is not cheap.
No bells and whistles, just the tiny list: Guerrillamail, Tempinbox, Mailinator, Tempomail, Spambox, Dodgeit, Mytrashmail, Spamcero, Jetable, Maileater, Spamfree24, Nobulk, Temporaryinbox, Spam.la, we.despammed.it and Tempemail.
Stefano `wisec` Di Paola has just released a new advisory IE 7 and Firefox Browsers Digest Authentication Request Splitting, basically using the user field an attacker is able to split the request injecting arbitrary chars.
My friend Stefano di Paola and I have discovered that a PHP function used to emulate register_globals on is able to overwrite any variable (also $_SESSION and $_SERVER) with the exception of $GLOBALS. Naturally during the Month of PHP bugs :)
To demonstrate the import_request_variables() bug i've exploited a XSS flaw in PHP NUKE 8.0 that has an anti-CSRF routine. The import_request_variables() vulnerability will permit you to exploit a wide range of vectors (XSS, remote file inclusion, remote code execution, SQL injections, etc.) on software that makes use of it.
This night i was in the process of mirroring all the tmbo.org daily pics for fast viewing. Their site has to be hosted on an ADSL link (like ush.it, hey this site is on a 200kbs/300kbs link, very unprofessional but no one can raid [stupid wordpress plug-in, this is not RAID in the sense of Redundant Disk Array but raid the verb] our server without our knowledge, think about the autistici/inventati aruba raid for example).
From 23 to 31 December i was in Berlin for the CCC congress with other Italian security researchers and friends. We had good time enjoying Berlin, drinking beer and exchanging informations. Also Stefano Di Paola and Giorgio Fedon disclosed some Adobe Acrobat Reader bugs in a larger talk titled Subverting AJAX.
At CCC my friends Stefano Di Paola and Giorgio Fedon releades some of their latest findings, note that this is a translation in italiano of the original advisory aviable on wisec.it (http://www.wisec.it/vulns.php?page=9) that of course is in english. The advisory is focused on some specific bugs, one of these is called UXSS (Universal Cross Site Scripting) in PDF files.
Is seems that Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 with the phishing filter active ping back home for every URL requested. This could be the default in many environments.
This is a collection of resources on the topic. Some of these methods are not bullet proof but will help you develop some proactive security when writing new web applications and when hardening the existing ones.
Fino a qualche giorno fa, Poste Italiane SPA e il Ministero delle Comunicazioni forniva sui rispettivi siti web l'elenco dei CAP delle localita' italiane gratuitamente e in formato universalmente accessibile.
This is an english translation of "HttpOnly e Firefox" a whitepaper of my friend Stefano Di Paola written in italian.
