The dreaded white, blank screen in Microsoft Word is taunting me, with its blinking cursor asking for words to be written. Just when I thought I wouldn’t get any inspiration for this week’s blog, inspiration came to me from beyond through our late CTO Raimund Genes. Earlier this week, the third annual Trend Micro Capture the Flag (CTF), now known as the Raimund Genes Cup, competition was held in Tokyo, giving IT and security professionals the opportunity to expand their skill sets. A total of 10 teams participated in multiple challenges in categories including targeted attacks, Internet of Things (IoT), Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA). Team Egrf33ks won this year’s competition and now qualifies for HITCON 2017. For the full results of this year’s CTF, click here.

Microsoft Update

This week’s Digital Vaccine® (DV) package includes coverage for Microsoft updates released on or before November 14, 2017. It was another big month with 53 security patches covering Internet Explorer (IE), Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office, ASP.NET Core and .NET Core, and Chakra Core. 20 of the patches are listed as Critical and 31 are rated Important. Six of the Microsoft CVEs came through the Zero Day Initiative program. The following table maps Digital Vaccine filters to the Microsoft updates. Filters marked with an asterisk (*) shipped prior to this DV package, providing preemptive zero-day protection for customers. You can get more detailed information on this month’s security updates from Dustin Childs’ November 2017 Security Update Review from the Zero Day Initiative:
