Most readers of this space will be familiar with OpenDNS for its DNS based approach to Internet filtering.  One of the components of that is a crowd sourced classification of URLs into categories, something that OpenDNS refers to as domain tagging.  OpenDNS is looking to take domain tagging one step further.  OpenDNS CTO, Dan Hubbard, has put out a request  for knowledgeable security people to domain tag the malware category.

If you have a few cycles and you think this might be a fun way to contribute to Internet safety, then please check it out.

TippingPoint DNS Version Request increase

We have received a number of reports from TippingPoint customers that the normally quiet filter #560: DNS version request has been triggering in larger than normal numbers.  The indications are that a large number of source IPs are involved, but the volume is not high enough to be of a concern for potential DOS.  We have not yet been able to view any packets from this traffic.
 
If anybody has any more information, or packets we can review, we would love to hear from you.
 
The summary of filter #560 is:
"This filter detects a request to obtain the version number of the DNS Bind Server. The attacker uses the version information to determine whether the DNS Server is vulnerable to certain buffer overflow or Denial of Service attacks."

Enter comment here... a fake TeamViewer page, and that page led to a different type of malware. This week's infection involved a downloaded JavaScript (.js) file that led to Microsoft Installer packages (.msi files) containing other script that used free or open source programs.
distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
