Denial Of Service (DoS) Attacks

A denial of service (DoS) attack is an attack that clogs up so much memory on the target system that it can not serve it's users, or it causes the target system to crash, reboot, or otherwise deny services to legitimate users.There are several different kinds of dos attacks as discussed below:-

1) Ping Of Death :- The ping of death attack sends oversized ICMP datagrams (encapsulated in IP packets) to the victim.The Ping command makes use of the ICMP echo request and echo reply messages and it's commonly used to determine whether the remote host is alive. In a ping of death attack, however, ping causes the remote system to hang, reboot or crash. To do so the attacker uses, the ping command in conjuction with -l argument (used to specify the size of the packet sent) to ping the target system that exceeds the maximum bytes allowed by TCP/IP (65,536).
example:- c:/>ping -l 65540 hostname
Fortunately, nearly all operating systems these days are not vulnerable to the ping of death attack.

2) Teardrop Attack :- Whenever data is sent over the internet, it is broken into fragments at the source system and reassembled at the destination system. For example you need to send 3,000 bytes of data from one system to another. Rather than sending the entire chunk in asingle packet, the data is broken down into smaller packets as given below:
* packet 1 will carry bytes 1-1000.
* packet 2 will carry bytes 1001-2000.
* packet 3 will carry bytes 2001-3000.
In teardrop attack, however, the data packets sent to the target computer contais bytes that overlaps with each other.
(bytes 1-1500) (bytes 1001-2000) (bytes 1500-2500)
When the target system receives such a series of packets, it can not reassemble the data and therefore will crash, hang, or reboot.
Old Linux systems, Windows NT/95 are vulnerable.

3) SYN - Flood Attack :- In SYN flooding attack, several SYN packets are sent to the target host, all with an invalid source IP address. When the target system receives these SYN packets, it tries to respond to each one with a SYN/ACK packet but as all the source IP addresses are invalid the target system goes into wait state for ACK message to receive from source. Eventually, due to large number of connection requests, the target systems' memory is consumed. In order to actually affect the target system, a large number of SYN packets with invalid IP addresses must be sent.

4) Land Attack :- A land attack is similar to SYN attack, the only difference being that instead of including an invalid IP address, the SYN packet include the IP address of the target sysetm itself. As a result an infinite loop is created within the target system, which ultimately hangs and crashes.Windows NT before Service Pack 4 are vulnerable to this attack.

5) Smurf Attack :- There are 3 players in the smurf attack–the attacker,the intermediary (which can also be a victim) and the victim. In most scenarios the attacker spoofs the IP source address as the IP of the intended victim to the intermediary network broadcast address. Every host on the intermediary network replies, flooding the victim and the intermediary network with network traffic.
Smurf Attack Result:- Performance may be degraded such that the victim, the victim and intermediary networks become congested and unusable, i.e. clogging the network and preventing legitimate users from obtaining network services.

6) UDP - Flood Attack :- Two UDP services: echo (which echos back any character received) and chargen (which generates character) were used in the past for network testing and are enabled by default on most systems. These services can be used to launch a DOS by connecting the chargen to echo ports on the same or another machine and generating large amounts of network traffic.

How Computer Viruses / Malware Attack?

Computer users are facing all sorts of security threats these days, computer viruses, computer worms, hackers, phishing, spyware.  Almost every computer is challenged by more than one type of malicious attack each day.  Knowing how these malicious programs spread and work can help you avoid potential damage to your computer.
How Malware Attack

Computer viruses, worms, and Trojan horses are collectively known as malware.  They spread on the internet via email, instant messages and file sharing.  Computer viruses need a host program to run whereas computer worms are self-contained.  Both can replicate and spread in enormous rate over the internet.

Computer viruses usually cause damage to boot sector, system BIOS, software or data files.  Your system may fail to start, legitimate programs cannot run and data files are lost or corrupted.

Computer worms are usually designed to spread automatically via email program, causing major disruption of internet traffic.  Some worms can create back door to allow authorized access to your computer.

Trojan horses usually do not replicate, they appear as some innocent programs, such as free games or free screensavers.  This tricks you into downloading and running the Trojan horse.  Trojan horses can open a back door, disable antivirus program and allow the download of other malware.
How Hackers Attack

Hackers are computer users who explore networks and computers, looking for vulnerabilities and infiltrate your system without your knowledge and permission. Some people argue that hackers may not have malicious intent, they are just curious about how computer network works.  Nevertheless, unauthorized access to someone’s computer or network is not a moral act.

Malicious hackers gain access to your computer via different ways.  For examples, hackers may use keystroke logger to record your every stroke, giving them enough information to infiltrate your system.  They may hack your password by generating different combinations of numbers, letters and symbols.  Hackers also search for unprotected network or enter your system via a back door installed previously by other malware.
How Spyware Attack

Spyware are usually downloaded from web sites, email messages, instant messages or file sharing network.  Some legitimate programs may install spyware in your computer when you accept the End User License Agreement.  Spyware does exactly what its name suggests: it spies on you by collecting personal or sensitive information or tracking your browsing and shopping habit.  Some spyware programs can change your web browser's home page or install additional components to your browser without your consent.

Spyware can result in identity theft, computer slowdown and slow internet access.  Spyware should not be confused with adware.  Adware is a program that displays advertisements, usually in the form of pop up ads.  Strictly speaking, adware is not spyware if no personal information and browsing habit is collected.  It is a way for some software developers to reimburse their development cost by providing freeware to their customers.
How Spam Attack

Email spam is the electronic form of junk mail.  Most spam messages are unsolicited advertising sent to a large number of recipients.  Spam messages are not only annoying, some of them are dangerous.  Some spam messages are used to deliver Trojan horses, viruses, spyware or links to offensive web sites with inappropriate content.

A new form of spam message is used to launch phishing attack.  Phishers, pretending to be legitimate companies such as banks, financial institutes, PayPal, send out spam messages to a large number of recipients.  They usually use scare tactic and ask you to update your personal information (login ID and password, account information, etc) immediately or your account will be suspended.  Once you click on the link provided in the spam messages, you would land on phish sites which look remarkably similar to the legitimate company web sites where the phishers will steal your personal information.

Now that you know how malware, spyware, hackers and spam attack your computer, you can be more proactive in your defense.  Be careful of free download, free scan, email attachment, file sharing and don’t click on the hyperlink of spam messages.  Read the End User agreement carefully when you install any software.  Keep track of unusual inbound and outbound internet activities.  If you do all of these and install an all-in-one internet security program (antivirus, antispyware, firewall, spam control), you should be pretty safe from these malicious attacks.

How to remove a computer virus and spyware.

Symptoms that may be the result of ordinary Windows functions
A computer virus infection may cause the following problems:

    * Windows does not start even though you have not made any system changes or even though you have not installed or removed any programs.
    * Windows does not start because certain important system files are missing. Additionally, you receive an error message that lists the missing files.
    * The computer sometimes starts as expected. However, at other times, the computer stops responding before the desktop icons and the taskbar appear.
    * The computer runs very slowly. Additionally, the computer takes longer than expected to start.
    * You receive out-of-memory error messages even though the computer has sufficient RAM.
    * New programs are installed incorrectly.
    * Windows spontaneously restarts unexpectedly.
    * Programs that used to run stop responding frequently. Even if you remove and reinstall the programs, the issue continues to occur.
    * A disk utility such as Scandisk reports multiple serious disk errors.
    * A partition disappears.
    * The computer always stops responding when you try to use Microsoft Office products.
    * You cannot start Windows Task Manager.
    * Antivirus software indicates that a computer virus is present.

Symptoms of a computer virus

If you suspect or confirm that your computer is infected with a computer virus, obtain the current antivirus software. The following are some primary indicators that a computer may be infected:

    * The computer runs slower than usual.
    * The computer stops responding, or it locks up frequently.
    * The computer crashes, and then it restarts every few minutes.
    * The computer restarts on its own. Additionally, the computer does not run as usual.
    * Applications on the computer do not work correctly.
    * Disks or disk drives are inaccessible.
    * You cannot print items correctly.
    * You see unusual error messages.
    * You see distorted menus and dialog boxes.
    * There is a double extension on an attachment that you recently opened, such as a .jpg, .vbs, .gif, or .exe. extension.
    * An antivirus program is disabled for no reason. Additionally, the antivirus program cannot be restarted.
    * An antivirus program cannot be installed on the computer, or the antivirus program will not run.
    * New icons appear on the desktop that you did not put there, or the icons are not associated with any recently installed programs.
    * Strange sounds or music plays from the speakers unexpectedly.
    * A program disappears from the computer even though you did not intentionally remove the program.

Note These are common signs of infection. However, these signs may also be caused by hardware or software problems that have nothing to do with a computer virus. Unless you run the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool, and then you install industry-standard, up-to-date antivirus software on your computer, you cannot be certain whether a computer is infected with a computer virus or not.

Symptoms of worms and trojan horse viruses in e-mail messages
When a computer virus infects e-mail messages or infects other files on a computer, you may notice the following symptoms:

    * The infected file may make copies of itself. This behavior may use up all the free space on the hard disk.
    * A copy of the infected file may be sent to all the addresses in an e-mail address list.
    * The computer virus may reformat the hard disk. This behavior will delete files and programs.
    * The computer virus may install hidden programs, such as pirated software. This pirated software may then be distributed and sold from the computer.
    * The computer virus may reduce security. This could enable intruders to remotely access the computer or the network.
    * You receive an e-mail message that has a strange attachment. When you open the attachment, dialog boxes appear, or a sudden degradation in system performance occurs.
    * Someone tells you that they have recently received e-mail messages from you that contained attached files that you did not send. The files that are attached to the e-mail messages have extensions such as .exe, .bat, .scr, and .vbs extensions.

What is Spyware?
Spyware can install on your computer without your knowledge. These programs can change your computer’s configuration or collect advertising data and personal information. Spyware can track internet searching habits and possibly redirect web site activity. 
Symptoms of Spyware
When a computer becomes affected by Spyware, the following may result:

    * Slow internet connection.
    * Changing your web browser’s home page.
    * Loss of internet connectivity.

Mobile Physical Security: How Anti-theft Software Works

Mobile Physical Security

In the presence of google and facebook , iphones and mobiles became more important component of life as these things are now widely accessed  by these gadgets. As its importance increased, mobile security concerns also increased and the people are more searching for better security products. They are using antiviruses and antispyware for the software security but the physical security is also importance because your data can also be lost due to lost of your mobile.

So todays sintuhack Is going to describe about physical security of mobile phone and will explain about some antitheft software and their working procedure so that you can able to secure your mobile . This is a part of mobile physical security or you can say physical mobile security.

mGuard   

This is a free java application which is available for Sony Ericsson mobiles

till may of this year. This only tracks for any kind of sim-card change in your mobile

and sends a sms to user predefined numbers. It can be downloaded via internet as well as can be transferred from computes via Bluetooth or data cables. This is a free antitheft software but you have to go its website (Vapssky.com)and register your mobile with its IMEI number to use it.

Find My iPhone

As per name it’s free software for recovering iPhones, but only available for iPhone 4 running iOS 4.2 directly. Other iPhone users can access it via Mobile ME subscription service. Its unique feature is that you can monitor it from web(Me.com) as well as from any other iPhone where this application is installed. This software also provides other facilities like locking phone or displaying text message or raising a finder alarm.  You can also backup your all data remotely by using this and make you phone to restore it as factory level settings.

RoboLock

This is also a product of Vapssky.com but this is made for blackberry mobiles and runs on BlackBerry OS 4.2 and above. But it only supports Tour, Storm, Bold and 8xx models. The main advantage fo this is that you can remotely acesss you phone via email web or even via sms and then you can track its location on goggle map , recover your contacts or delete your data.you can also  lock it remotely and raise a finding alarm which only be stopped when you unlock it

RecoveryCop

"

RecoveryCop" is made for Windows Mobile 6.x Devices and it’s a real time mobile physical security provider. This works like James bond and don’t leave any clue behind its working space so it’s completely untraceable by an unknown user of your mobile.it can record all the text messages send  by stolen mobile. You can also take a call from this mobile and via its microphone you can hear the sound of surroundings .all other features are also available for this.

Yet the technology is its child stage as it is still unable to deliver complete mobile physical security provider software which can work for all type of mobiles and iPhones. The main hurdle behind this is the presence of different mobile makers and the lack of collaboration between them. So wait for that day when this will available and till then use different software as per your vendor

Cross site scripting

Cross site script is most common web attack.it basically attacks on application layer of web.
.its basically hits html and javascipt.
  cross site scripting arises when web application take data from form of site and include in it
web page without properly validating the data.XSS vulnerabilities allow an attackers to execute arbitrary commands and display arbitrary content in a victim users browsers. when XSS attacks became a successful attack it take control of victim browser or victim web application.  the potency of an XSS attack lies in the fact that thr malicious code executes in the context of the victim's session,allowing the attackers to bypass normal security restriction

Types of Cross Site Scripting Attacks :-

Reflective Cross Site  Scripting :-
 
In this XSS attacks attacker send the victim a misleading mail with the link containing malicious
javascript,if the victim click the link ,the http request is intiated  from the victim browsers
 and sent to the vulnerable web application.Thw malicious javascript is then reflected back to the victim's browsers,where it is executed int the
context of  of victim users session
 
Persistent Xss

Consider a Web application that allows users to enter a user name which is displayed on each user’s profile page. The application stores each user name in a local database. A malicious user notices that the Web application fails to sanitize the user name field and inputs malicious JavaScript code as part of their user name. When other users view the attacker’s profile page, the malicious code automatically executes in the context of their session.

Cyber Security

As we know we are leaving in cyber world where technology and internet provide lot of benefits with huge dangers aspect.cyber world serves equally to both hackers and crackers.
It also provide lot of way of security hence we need to take precautions to protect(secure) yourself online.

 What are some warnings to remember or some security tips to use?

    Don't trust candy from strangers - Finding something on the internet does not guarantee that it is true.or secure or it will full fill all security criteria 

Anyone can publish information online without checking it is secure(security) or not , so before accepting a statement as fact or taking action, verify that the source is reliable.or secure 

It is also easy for attackers to "spoof" email addresses, so verify that an email is legitimate before opening an unexpected email attachment or responding to a request for personal information 
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is - You have probably seen many emails promising fantastic rewards or monetary gifts. However, regardless of what the email claims, there are not any wealthy strangers desperate to send you money. Beware of grand promises—they are most likely spam, hoaxes, or phishing schemes . Also be wary of pop-up windows and advertisements for free downloadable software—they may be disguising spyware.    
Don't advertise that you are away from home - Some email accounts, especially within an organization, offer a feature (called an autoresponder)
that allows you to create an "away" message if you are going to be away from your email for an extended period of time. The message is automatically
sent to anyone who emails you while the autoresponder is enabled. While this is a helpful feature for letting your contacts know that you will not be
able to respond right away, be careful how you phrase your message. You do not want to let potential attackers know that you are not home, or, worse, give specific details about your location and itinerary. Safer options include phrases such as "I will not have access to email between [date] and [date].
" If possible, also restrict the recipients of the message to people within your organization or in your address book. If your away message replies to spam, it only confirms that your email account is active. This may increase the amount of spam you receive  Lock up your valuables - If an attacker is able to access or breaches your cesurity, your personal data, he or she may be able to compromise or steal the information.
Take steps to secure this information by following good security practices
 Some of the most basic precautions or security include locking your computer when you step away; using firewalls, anti-virus software, and strong passwords security ; installing appropriate software security updates; and taking precautions or security when browsing or using email.
 Have a backup plan - Since your information could be lost or compromised (due to an equipment malfunction, an error, or an attack),
 make regular backups of your information so that you still have clean, complete copies
Backups also help you identify what has been changed or lost.

Cyber war: Google, China in fresh spat over email hacking

BEIJING/SAN FRANCISCO: Suspected Chinese hackers tried to steal the passwords of hundreds of Google email account holders, including those of senior US government officials, Chinese activists and journalists , the internet company said.[sintuhack]

The claim by the world's largest web search engine sparked an angry response from Beijing, which said blaming China was "unacceptable," pointing to further tensions in an already strained relationship with Google.[sintuhack]

The perpetrators appeared to originate from Jinan, the capital of China's eastern Shandong province, Google said. Jinan is home to one of six technical reconnaissance bureaus belonging to the People's Liberation Army and a technical college US investigators last year linked to a previous attack on Google.[sintuhack]

Washington said it was investigating Google's claims while the FBI said it was working with Google following the attacks — the latest computerbased invasions directed at multinational companies.[sintuhack]

Andrew Davies of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute , an independent security and defence think tank, said governments needed to pay more attention to hacking no matter where it originated from. "I think there has been a certain lack of appreciation of the looming threat around the world," Davies said.

The hackers recently tried to crack and monitor email accounts by stealing passwords, but Google detected and "disrupted " their campaign, the company said on its official blog. Google said it had notified the victims.

Cyber law or It act of India

Cyber laws are meant to set the definite pattern, some rules and guidelines that defined certain business activities going on through internet legal and certain illegal and hence punishable .Today sintuhack will explian some fact about cyber case (sintuhack). The IT Act 2000, the cyber law of India , gives the legal framework so that information is not denied legal effect, validity or enforceability, solely on the ground that it is in the form of electronic records.

One cannot regard government as complete failure in shielding numerous e-commerce activities on the firm basis of which this industry has got to its skies, but then the law cannot be regarded as free from ambiguities.(sintuhack)


The IT Act 2000 attempts to change outdated laws and provides ways to deal with cyber crimes. Let’s have an overview of the law where it takes a firm stand and has got successful in the reason for which it was framed.(sintuhack)

1. The E-commerce industry carries out its business via transactions and communications done through electronic records . It thus becomes essential that such transactions be made legal . Keeping this point in the consideration, the IT Act 2000 empowers the government departments to accept filing, creating and retention of official documents in the digital format. The Act also puts forward the proposal for setting up the legal framework essential for the authentication and origin of electronic records / communications through digital signature.(sintuhack)

2. The Act legalizes the e-mail and gives it the status of being valid form of carrying out communication in India . This implies that e-mails can be duly produced and approved in a court of law , thus can be a regarded as substantial document to carry out legal proceedings.(sintuhack)

3. The act also talks about digital signatures and digital records . These have been also awarded the status of being legal and valid means that can form strong basis for launching litigation in a court of law. It invites the corporate companies in the business of being Certifying Authorities for issuing secure Digital Signatures Certificates.

4. The Act now allows Government to issue notification on the web thus heralding e-governance.(sintuhack)

5. It eases the task of companies of the filing any form, application or document by laying down the guidelines to be submitted at any appropriate office, authority, body or agency owned or controlled by the government. This will help in saving costs, time and manpower for the corporates.(sintuhack)

6. The act also provides statutory remedy to the coporates in case the crime against the accused for breaking into their computer systems or network and damaging and copying the data is proven. The remedy provided by the Act is in the form of monetary damages, not exceeding Rs. 1 crore($200,000).(sintuhack)

7. Also the law sets up the Territorial Jurisdiction of the Adjudicating Officers for cyber crimes and the Cyber Regulations Appellate Tribunal.(sintuhack)

8. The law has also laid guidelines for providing Internet Services on a license on a non-exclusive basis.(sintuhack)

The IT Law 2000, though appears to be self sufficient, it takes mixed stand when it comes to many practical situations. It looses its certainty at many places like:(sintuhack)

1. The law misses out completely the issue of Intellectual Property Rights, and makes no provisions whatsoever for copyrighting, trade marking or patenting of electronic information and data. The law even doesn’t talk of the rights and liabilities of domain name holders , the first step of entering into the e-commerce.(sintuhack)
2. The law even stays silent over the regulation of electronic payments gateway and segregates the negotiable instruments from the applicability of the IT Act , which may have major effect on the growth of e-commerce in India . It leads to make the banking and financial sectors irresolute in their stands .(sintuhack)(sintuhack)
3. The act empowers the Deputy Superintendent of Police to look up into the investigations and filling of charge sheet when any case related to cyber law is called. This approach is likely to result in misuse in the context of Corporate India as companies have public offices which would come within the ambit of "public place" under the Act. As a result, companies will not be able to escape potential harassment at the hands of the DSP.(sintuhack)
4. Internet is a borderless medium ; it spreads to every corner of the world where life is possible and hence is the cyber criminal. Then how come is it possible to feel relaxed and secured once this law is enforced in the nation??(sintuhack)

The Act initially was supposed to apply to crimes committed all over the world, but nobody knows how can this be achieved in practice , how to enforce it all over the world at the same time???(sintuhack)

* The IT Act is silent on filming anyone’s personal actions in public and then distributing it electronically. It holds ISPs (Internet Service Providers) responsible for third party data and information, unless contravention is committed without their knowledge or unless the ISP has undertaken due diligence to prevent the contravention .(sintuhack)
* For example, many Delhi based newspapers advertise the massage parlors; and in few cases even show the ‘therapeutic masseurs’ hidden behind the mask, who actually are prostitutes. Delhi Police has been successful in busting out a few such rackets but then it is not sure of the action it can take…should it arrest the owners and editors of newspapers or wait for some new clauses in the Act to be added up?? Even the much hyped case of the arrest of Bajaj, the CEO of Bazee.com, was a consequence of this particular ambiguity of the law. One cannot expect an ISP to monitor what information their subscribers are sending out, all 24 hours a day.(sintuhack)

Cyber law is a generic term, which denotes all aspects, issues and the legal consequences on the Internet, the World Wide Web and cyber space. India is the 12th nation in the world that has cyber legislation apart from countries like the US, Singapore, France, Malaysia and Japan .(sintuhack)

But can the cyber laws of the country be regarded as sufficient and secure enough to provide a strong platform to the country’s e-commerce industry for which they were meant?? India has failed to keep in pace with the world in this respect, and the consequence is not far enough from our sight; most of the big customers of India ’s outsourcing company have started to re-think of carrying out their business in India .Bajaj’s case has given the strongest blow in this respect and have broken India ’s share in outsourcing market as a leader.(sintuhack)
