Antiviruses Detecting Metasploit Payloads


Your neighbor stops you at your curb.  He knows you‟re a computer security guru and wants to know the secret to protecting his computer from hackers. You need to get back to mowing the lawn and don‟t really have time to explain log monitoring, patch management, vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, least required access, the CIA triad, and the finer points of risk management. Besides, you know you’re the only guy on the block with syslog servers, hardware firewalls, IDS and HIPS watching the one computer in your house that you only use for online banking.


So what do you tell him?  “Keep your patches and antivirus software up to date and don‟t run untrusted programs”. You know it’s not enough, but any more advice would commit you to hours of free consulting or get you uninvited to the neighborhood Christmas party.

"Don't run untrusted programs" good advice! The problem is most people trust everyone when it comes to free software. “Keep your patches and antivirus up to date”. In my experience users typically, once educated, allow their computers to automatically install its Black Tuesday Microsoft patches and their antivirus software to update itself. 

Their antivirus will stay up to date until the evaluation license that came with the computer expires.  Conscientious home users do, for the most part, run their Windows updates and keep their antivirus product updated. However, auxiliary programs which are not updated automatically by Microsoft updates and other manufacturer provided self-update programs are often not updated and become vulnerable to attack. 

Not fully patched and frequently running potentially malicious code, home computers are often left with their antivirus product as the primary means of defense against attack. Commercial organizations tend to do a little better.

They often have a firewall, some patch management, and try to keep their antivirus product up to date.  Still, today many organizations do not practice defense in depth and depend largely upon their antivirus products to protect them from malicious code and attackers who attempt to gain access to their valuable computing resources.

Web Hacking 101

With a Foreword written by HackerOne Co-Founders Michiel Prins and Jobert Abma, Web Hacking 101 is about the ethical exploration of software for security issues but learning to hack isn't always easy. With few exceptions, existing books are overly technical, only dedicate a single chapter to website vulnerabilities or don't include any real world examples. This book is different. Using publicly disclosed vulnerabilities, Web Hacking 101 explains common web vulnerabilities and will show you how to start finding vulnerabilities and collecting bounties.

Hack-X-Crypt (By Ujjwal Sahay)

This is basically a straight forward guide towards ethical hacking and cyber security.Computer hacking is the practice of altering computer hardware and software to carry out a goal outside of the creator‘s original intention. People who slot in computer hacking actions and activities are often entitled as hackers. The majority of people assume that hackers are computer criminals. They fall short to identify the fact that criminals and hackers are two entirely unrelated things.
