For the last few years, we have been using subversion to manage our source code and move code live. One thing we overlooked was the fact that the .svn directories were exposed on our web server. Thanks to Ehraz and Umraz Ahmed ( #securityexe and #umrazahmed on twitter) for reporting this problem to us.

As a solution, we made a couple of configuration changes:

- prevented access to the directories via a "<Directory>" directive,
- added respective rules to our web application firewall.

For the last couple of months DRG (the Dragon Research Group) has posted some interesting security challenges. The last one, for December, is currently online so if you want to test your security skills – and post the solutions for the public benefit, do not miss the current challenge available at http://dragonresearchgroup.org/challenges/201312/
 
Those of you who like playing CTFs will enjoy this. Other (older) challenges are still online too, so if you have some time off here’s a nice way to spend those cold nights (or warm – depending where in the world you are).
 
… and remember, the devil is in the details ;-)

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.
