Mike Mimoso talks to Cody Pierce, director of vulnerability research and prevention with Endgame, at RSA Conference 2017 about how attackers are changing their techniques in the face of mitigations. Continue reading Cody Pierce on the Future of Exploit Development
I’ve just found about the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit. The science behind it is beyond me, but how much protection over an antivirus does it provide?
Should I enable its protection for every process or select the … Continue reading How good is EMET at protecting Windows and should I enable it for every application?
Find out why Microsoft has discontinued EMET and how Windows 10 mitigates many of the threats that EMET was designed to counter.
The post Microsoft Retires EMET Security Tool appeared first on Petri.
Microsoft extended the end of life deadline on EMET to July 2018, but experts say its usefulness as a mitigation toolkit has been limited for some time. Continue reading Microsoft Tears off the Band-Aid with EMET
Researchers at Endgame are expected at Black Hat to introduce Hardware Assisted Control Flow Integrity (HA-CFI), which leverages features in the micro-architecture of Intel processors for security. Continue reading New Technique Checks Mitigation Bypasses Earlier
Bad guys score a victory in their never-ending arms race with defenders. Continue reading Protecting your PC from ransomware gets harder with EMET-evading exploit
Hackers claim to have unearthed a zero-day vulnerability giving attackers admin rights to any Windows machine from Windows 2000 to a fully patched version of Windows 10. Continue reading Windows Zero Day Selling for $90,000
How much would a cybercriminal, nation state or organized crime group pay for blueprints on how to exploit a serious, currently undocumented, unpatched vulnerability in all versions of Microsoft Windows? That price probably depends on the power of the exploit and what the market will bear at the time, but here’s a look at one convincing recent exploit sales thread from the cybercrime underworld where the current asking price for a Windows-wide bug that allegedly defeats all of Microsoft’s current security defenses is USD $90,000. Continue reading Got $90,000? A Windows 0-Day Could Be Yours
I cannot see this option and no answer when I Google for it. Maybe it is not good to update itself since it is supposed to be customized so if it updates itself would screw up the profile?
Microsoft released fixes on Tuesday to plug critical security holes in Windows and other software. The company issued 13 patches to tackle dozens of vulnerabilities, including a much-hyped “Badlock” file-sharing bug that appears ripe for exploitation. Also, Adobe updated its Flash Player release to address at least two-dozen flaws — in addition to the zero-day vulnerability Adobe patched last week.
