28th of February I had a IT group meeting.  On this meeting I had been giving lecture about modern rootkits, virus and malwares for 1 hour. The presentation give a point for malware called bankers, attacks for device (skimming), new attack for CHIP cards, and how rootkits hide in *NIX systems. I have had really positive feedback so I’m happy that people likes my talking :) Personally I think it wasn’t bad :)

I can’t publish my presentation but if you know me I can talk with you about my topic of lecture :)

Best regards,

Adam Zabrocki

After few days I will decide about “future” of this bug – publish or wait for security path and publish after it. Now I can paste here simple output from gdb:

More than year ago I was publish advisory in ‘mtr’ software. I think, personally, it is great bug because it can’t exist without unspecified situation in  libresolv library :) The question is why have I written information about it on blog?

I forgot add this advisory in my site (sic!) :) Now it’s ok and you can find this advisory here.

I attached to this advisory details and Proof Of Concept. If you haven’t read it yet i strongly recommend you to do it because it shows that sometimes if  we read source code we think bug doesn’t exists but sometimes other external stuff/bugs/unspecified situation help us to trigger and exploit unexisting bug :)
