Happy Birthday DShield, (Fri, Nov 24th)

This is just an annual reminder that DShield, the engine behind the SANS Internet Storm Center,&#;x26;#;xc2;&#;x26;#;xa0;was originally coded over the Thanksgiving weekend in 2000 and made life shortly after. Below is an early screenshot (not the earliest one, but the earliest one I am not too embarrassed to post 🙂 ).&#;x26;#;xc2;&#;x26;#;xa0; The domain was registered a few months before I started coding the site (July 7th, so probably July 4th weekend), but I didn&#;x26;#;39;t get around to coding it before. The first “submission agent” was a one-liner shell script grepping logs from Syslog and piping them to sendmail to submit them&#;x26;#;xc2;&#;x26;#;xa0;:). There are not a lot of projects that have survived this long, and well, some of the early code (and certainly design decisions) may still live on today.

To help summarize this data a bit easier, it seemed like a good idea to make another python script.

Phishing page with trivial anti-analysis features, (Fri, Nov 17th)

Anti-analysis features in phishing pages – especially in those, which threat actors send out as e-mail attachments – are nothing new[1,2]. Nevertheless, sometimes the way that these mechanisms are implemented may still leave one somewhat mystified. This has happened to me a few weeks ago when I found what appeared to be a generic phishing message in one of my spam traps.
