			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img alt="South River Technologies" width="195" height="52" class="right" src="images/south-river-technologies.png" />Here&#8217;s a local privilege escalation exploit I wrote, as a Metasploit Meterpreter script, for the <a href="http://www.webdrive.com/" title="Managed File Transfer, Document Collaboration Software, Secure FTP">South River Technologies WebDrive</a> Service Bad Security Descriptor vulnerability. </p>
<p>This vulnerability was discovered by bellick of the <a href="http://retrogod.altervista.org/" title="rgod web pages">Nine:Situations:Group</a> and the original advisory can be found on the Nine:Situations:Group web site &#8211; <a href="http://retrogod.altervista.org/9sg_south_river_priv.html" title="South River Technologies WebDrive Service Bad Security Descriptor Local Elevation Of Privileges">South River Technologies WebDrive Service Bad Security Descriptor Local Elevation Of Privileges</a>.<br />
As you can understand from the advisory, local elevation of privileges is possible due to bad (empty actually) <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms685981(VS.85).aspx" title="MSDN - Service Security and Access Rights (Windows)">security descriptor</a> of the South River Technologies WebDrive service.</p>
<p>This exploit was inspired by <a href="http://www.metasploit.com/users/mc/" title="Metasploit - Mario Ceballos"><abbr title="Mario Ceballos">MC</abbr></a>&#8217;s <a href="http://www.metasploit.com/redmine/projects/framework/repository/entry/scripts/meterpreter/pml_driver_config.rb" title="Metasploit Framework - /scripts/meterpreter/pml_driver_config.rb - Metasploit Redmine Interface"><abbr title="Hewlett-Packard">HP</abbr> PML Driver HPZ12 privilege escalation exploit</a>.<br />
In this exploit I&#8217;ve also added a mitigation option, which will set correct service security descriptor configuration for <abbr title="South River Technologie">SRT</abbr> WebDrive. Note that the vulnerability is still unpatched, exploit tested on the latest version of <abbr title="South River Technologie">SRT</abbr> WebDrive.</p>
<p>The exploit was successfully tested on the following platforms:<br />
 &#8211; South River Technologies WebDrive 9.02 build 2232 on Microsoft Windows XP SP3.</p>
<p>Download <a href="exploits/msf/srt_webdrive_priv.rb" title="Download srt_webdrive_priv.rb - South River Technologies WebDrive Service Bad Security Descriptor Local Privilege Escalation">srt_webdrive_priv.rb</a>.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img alt="AOL" width="128" height="64" class="right" src="images/aol.png" />Wrote a new Metaspoit exploit module for the <a href="http://www.aol.com/" title="AOL.com">AOL</a> 9.5 Phobos.Playlist ActiveX control Import() stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability.</p>
<p>This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow within Phobos.dll of AOL 9.5. By setting an overly long value to &#8216;Import()&#8217;, an attacker can overrun a buffer and execute arbitrary code.</p>
<p>This vulnerability was found by <a href="http://www.hellcode.net/" title="The Computer Cheats - TCC ::: Hellcode Labs">Hellcode Research</a> and was published recently by Dz_attacker. Still no patch from AOL, if you want to test it you can get the vulnerable package from the <a href="http://daol.aol.com/software/95/" title="AOL 9.5 - Discover AOL">AOL 9.5</a> page.</p>
<p>The exploit was successfully tested on the following platforms:<br />
 &#8211; AOL 9.5 (Revision 4337.155) on Internet Explorer 7, Windows XP SP3</p>
<p>Phobos.dll version tested:<br />
 &#8211; File Version: 9.5.0.1<br />
 &#8211; ClassID: A105BD70-BF56-4D10-BC91-41C88321F47C<br />
 &#8211; RegKey Safe for Script: False<br />
 &#8211; RegKey Safe for Init: False<br />
 &#8211; Implements IObjectSafety: False<br />
 &#8211; KillBitSet: False</p>
<p>Due to the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa751977(VS.85).aspx" title="MSDN - Safe Initialization and Scripting for ActiveX Controls"><em>safe for initialization</em> and <em>safe for scripting</em></a> settings of this ActiveX control, exploitation is possible only from Local Machine Zone, which means the victim must run the generated exploit file locally.</p>

<p>I&#8217;d like to point out the lame work of the cPanel Security Team on these vulnerabilities. Usually when I report a vulnerability, I get some kind of interaction with the vendor developers and/or the security team, most of the times I enjoy working with the people involved. In this case, the cPanel Security Team were unresponsive. Eventually I was forced to release the security advisory even though one of the vulnerabilities (the Open Redirection vulnerability) is still unpatched.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img alt="Rapid7 and Metasploit" width="301" height="113" class="right" src="images/rapid7_metasploit.png" />Hello readers. If you didn&#8217;t heard about it already, on October 21st, 2009, the hackers favorite exploitation framework &#8211; <a href="http://www.metasploit.com/" title="The Metasploit Project">the Metasploit Project</a> was acquired by <a href="http://www.rapid7.com/" title="Rapid7">Rapid7</a>, a vulnerability management, compliance, and penetration testing company. Yep, a commercial company.</p>
<p>The Metasploit Project creator, HD Moore, and one of the developers, Egypt, now got a full time job working on and developing the Metasploit Project. HD in the position of Chief Architect of Metasploit and Egypt as a core developer of Metasploit at Rapid7. </p>
<p>If you read this blog often you probably noticed that I&#8217;m a big supporter of the Metasploit Project. I use it on a daily basis, preforming penetration tests and exploit development while at work or at home for fun. As you may guess, my feelings about the acquisition are mixed. On one side this is a good thing, this is a big step for the Metasploit Project. Now it&#8217;ll grow and develop faster and rapidly and us, the users, will get a better, faster, more advanced and less buggy program, and I believe we&#8217;ll start seeing faster release cycles. But on the other side, now the Metasploit Project which was a free, open source, community driven project, is managed by a commercial company. I think the worst case scenario will be if Rapid7 decide to make Metasploit a commercial product, which will be a sad thing. This won&#8217;t be the first time it&#8217;ll happen to a good security product. The best example here is the <a href="http://www.nessus.org/" title="Tenable Network Security">Nessus vulnerability scanner</a> which was acquired by Tenable Network Security back in 2005.</p>
<p>I hope the fate of the Metasploit Project won&#8217;t be the same as Nessus. HD Moore stated on the Metasploit blog that the project will remain free and open source. So, if that&#8217;s the case and long as the Metasploit Project will stay that way I think the users should be happy about it. I will continue to support the Metasploit Project and develop exploits and other modules for it and contribute in every way I can.<br />
I guess all there&#8217;s left to say is congratulations to HD Moore and Egypt for the acquisition, keep on rocking. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img alt="Bezeq International" width="204" height="93" class="left" src="images/bezeqint.png" />Hello readers. In this post I&#8217;d like to talk about Bezeq International SafeNet service. Bezeq Int is the most common <abbr title="Internet Service Provider">ISP</abbr> in Israel and like most of the <abbr title="Internet Service Provider">ISP</abbr>&#8217;s out there, Bezeq Int offer their customers a security service called SafeNet, which they recommend users to buy so they could surf the web in a safer manner.</p>
<p>As stated on <a href="http://www.bezeqint.net/SafeNet.html" title="Bezeq International - SafeNet">Bezeq Int SafeNet page</a> (and <a href="http://www.bezeqint.net/Page.aspx?cc=010101020101" title="Bezeq International - SafeNet details">details</a>), this service cost 13.90 <abbr title="Israeli New Shekel">NIS</abbr> a month and should be some kind of content filtering system, providing users protection from Malware (viruses, worms, trojan horses, spyware), <abbr title="Hyper Text Markup Language">HTML</abbr> exploits, malicious Activ-X and JAVA code, Fishing web sites and more (note I deliberately misspelled the definitions, that&#8217;s how it&#8217;s wrote on the SafeNet service specification page).</p>
<p>Well, after running a series of tests I can surly say Bezeq Int SafeNet service provide non of these protections what so ever. In fact, it doesn&#8217;t provide any sort of active protection. The only protection SafeNet service provides is blocking supposedly malicious web sites using an out-of-date domain names blacklist.</p>
<p>For example, trying to access <a href="http://www.packetstormsecurity.org/" title="packet storm">Packet Storm Security</a> web site will result in a redirection to a Bezeq Int domain, displaying this SafeNet message:<br />
<a href="images/screenshots/safenet.png" title="Bezeq Int SafeNet message" rel="lightbox"><img width="387" height="326" style="border-width:0" src="images/screenshots/safenet.png" alt="Bezeq Int SafeNet message" /></a><br />
<small>Click to enlarge.</small></p>
<p>The SafeNet service blacklist doesn&#8217;t include <a href="http://milw0rm.com/" title="milw0rm - exploits : vulnerabilities : videos : papers : shellcode">milw0rm</a> and other hacking related web sites. I even ran test against active Malware serving pages, Phishing web sites and rouge Anti-Virus sites, non of which have been blocked by Bezeq Int SafeNet service.</p>
<p>Furthermore, the SafeNet service domain blacklist function can be bypassed rather easily. It is possible to access blacklisted domains using their <abbr title="Internet Protocol">IP</abbr> addresses:<br />
<a href="images/screenshots/packetstorm.png" title="Packet Storm Security" rel="lightbox"><img width="387" height="326" style="border-width:0" src="images/screenshots/packetstorm.png" alt="Packet Storm Security" /></a><br />
<small>Click to enlarge.</small></p>
<p>In conclusion, Bezeq Int SafeNat service provide users no affective protection against any kind of threat and Bezeq Int doesn&#8217;t provide their customers any of the promised functions stated on the SafeNet service specification.<br />
In my opinion, Bezeq Int SafeNet service is a total rip-off and if you are registered to it I recommend you&#8217;d cancel the service immediately.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello readers, I wrote a new Metaspoit exploit module for the <a href="http://httpdx.sourceforge.net/" title="HTTPDX - Ultralight HTTP/FTP Server">HTTPDX</a> <em>h_handlepeer()</em> function stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability.</p>
<p>The vulnerability was found in HTTPDX <abbr title="Hypertext Transfer Protocol">HTTP</abbr>/<abbr title="File Transfer Protocol">FTP</abbr> server version 1.4 by <a href="http://www.pank4j.com/" title="Pankaj Kohli - Homepage">Pankaj Kohli</a> and the original exploit can be found on his website &#8211; <a href="http://www.pank4j.com/exploits/httpdxb0f.php" title="httpdx 1.4 GET Request Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit (0day)">httpdx 1.4 GET Request Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit (0day)</a>.</p>
<p>This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in HTTPDX <abbr title="Hypertext Transfer Protocol">HTTP</abbr> server 1.4. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the &#8220;h_handlepeer()&#8221; function in http.cpp. By sending an overly long <abbr title="Hypertext Transfer Protocol">HTTP</abbr> request, an attacker can overrun a buffer and execute arbitrary code.</p>
