  • Hacker Safe or False Sense of Security?

    | Commentary | You may have seen the Hacker Safe logo on some of the websites you've visited. The presence of the logo is intended to increase consumer confidence; the premise is that the site has been checked for remotely compromisable vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, groups such as sla.ckers have repeatedly succeeded in finding vulnerabilities on sites emblazoned with the Hacker Safe logo.


  • Trend Micro Patent Suits Few

    A decade old patent award continues to raise cries of foul. The controversial patent filed by Trend Micro in September 1995 involved using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), a computer and an antivirus scanner in order to scan email at the gateway. The protocols, the hardware and the software involved all pre-date the patent application, causing some to liken it to a patent for biscuits when bread was already being baked.

  • Reflecting on the Year 2000

    Observing the picture of events that have occurred during this year, we must admit that the situation in the anti-virus field is more complicated as compared with that in 1999. Just in May 2000 alone, the LoveLetter virus attacked more than 40 million computers around the world. As reported by the Computer Economics research center, during the first 5 days of the epidemic, the LoveLetter virus caused worldwide losses in the amount of US$ 6.7 billion. You may compare these figures with the report provided by the center in 1999, where they reported worldwide year-ending losses of US$ 12 billion.


  • The Future of Bot Worms

    The current trend in worms seems to go the bot route. Bots-programs that operate as an agent for a user or another program-are most often seen as malware and keep attacking unsuspected users in surprisingly high numbers. This document details the possible new additions and modifications that bot authors might incorporate to their hideous creations in the very near future. Nowadays all bots worms are built in a modular fashion. This means that the creator of the program can choose among a number of different attack methods, including vulnerability exploitation, mass-mailing, P2P (peer-to-peer) propagation as well as the parameters for each of them. The result is a worm ad hoc, specially engineered to accomplish its objectives: stealing information and keeping control of the infected computer.

  • Why you need an email exploit detection engine

    An email exploit is an exploit launched via email. An email exploit is essentially an exploit that can be embedded in an email, and executed on the recipient's machine once the user either opens or receives the email. This allows the hacker to bypass most firewalls and anti-virus products.
