Detecting Account Takeover Botnets

A botnet is a network of compromised computers - known as bots - usually controlled by a command and control computer, that work together in coordination for a malicious purpose. In this blog post, we’ll discuss how to detect botnets used for account takeover ATO, an attack used to obtain the val...

Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator in org.pac4j:pac4j-saml

The SAML identifier generated within SAML2Utils.java was found to make use of the apache commons-lang3 RandomStringUtils class which makes them predictable due to RandomStringUtils PRNG's algorithm not being cryptographically strong. This issue only affects the 3.X release of pac4j-saml...

RHEL 8 : openssl (RHSA-2019:3700)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2019:3700 advisory. OpenSSL is a toolkit that implements the Secure Sockets Layer SSL and Transport Layer Security TLS protocols, as well as a full-strength...

bind: An assertion failure if a trust anchor rolls over to an unsupported key algorithm when using managed-keys

An assertion failure was found in the way bind implemented the "managed keys" feature. An attacker could use this flaw to cause the named daemon to crash. This flaw is very difficult for an attacker to trigger because it requires an operator to have BIND configured to use a trust anchor managed b...

Factoring 2048-bit Numbers Using 20 Million Qubits

This theoretical paper shows how to factor 2048-bit RSA moduli with a 20-million qubit quantum computer in eight hours. It's interesting work, but I don't want overstate the risk. We know from Shor's Algorithm that both factoring and discrete logs are easy to solve on a large, working quantum...
