A short while ago, Oracle released updates for both Java 6 and Java 7 in response to the critical 0-Day vulnerabilities discussed earlier this week, as well as two other security issues.

US-CERT has reported that applying Java 7 update 7 will solve the security issues as discussed at http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/636312

Last week I posted a diary about analyzing outgoing network traffic and asked our readers to comment what data sources they use when monitoring outbound connections our users establish.

Besides the sources I listed in the original diary we got quite a few comments and some good questions, so I’m combining all these in this, second, diary:

These include the lists I verified in the mean time – for more check comments in the first diary.

One of our readers, Arnim, also asked about a potentially very useful list of IP addresses belonging to remote access services such as LogMeIn, NetViewer and similar. I’m not aware of such a list but it would be very useful. Emerging Threat’s has something similar – a list of outgoing ToR nodes but that only helps you figure out if someone that visited your network used ToR. The list is available at http://rules.emergingthreats.net/open/suricata/rules/tor.rules

Thanks to everyone that submitted their comments, including Christian, Ben, Arnim, Hal, Matt, Brent and many others.

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.
