Tracking & Killing Bot Networks
Aug 17th
In a previous blog I discussed how one of the more enjoyable parts of my day-to-day malware rituals also involves the tracking and killing of command and control bot networks. Recently I have begun automating this process a bit; I have created a series of scripts that extract irc servers, port numbers and channels from malware as it comes in and then checks if the irc server is still online, a custom bot then logs into the server, queries the active channels and determines how many zombies are active on the network. If an irc server is determined to be active More >
ATF v2: Weighted Threats

When I first introduced you all to the Aggregate Threat Feed back in May, it was a much smaller feed with very simple ambitions — pulling together threat data at work from our network edge and host based firewalls and aggregating the data into a usable feed. The actual intention being that as an attacker exposes themselves more on the network through invasive scans and attacks, they would quickly climb up the threat feed and end up banned proactively. Though this did and still does happen in a way, a problem was introduced when more and more data started to More >

ATF sexyness
For my first post back into things in awhile (a long while), I thought I would introduce everyone to the sexyness that i’ve called the Aggregate Threat Feed or ATF for short. This feed is derived from threat data at work, namely our network edge IPS (a custom snort implementation, another post on that later) and aggregated firewall data from 250+ servers, mostly being brute force/invasive scan attack addresses.
There really is nothing terribly fancy about this, the data is presented in a drop list format that is updated every 15 minutes with an optional variable to adjust the amount More >
