Yesterday, EC Council was reported to have been compromised by a hacker called “Godzilla”.

After taking a look at this further, we found the actual site that got hacked was the Academy site of EC Council eccouncilacademy.org and not EC council (www.eccouncil.org) and based on published materials it seems that the hacker got access to training course material of several certification programs.

Looking into the published content by the hacker  and analyzing the screenshots shows that the server was hacked by the upload of the WSO web shell code:

http://imperva.typepad.com/.a/6a01156f8c7ad8970c0191023a5836970c-pi

The malicious shell was probably uploaded due to an exploit of a known vulnerability in the Joomla CMS (Content Management System) used by the site – judging by the file date in the screenshot the system has not been updated since 2010.

What is the takeaway here?

While we can take the provocative approach of looking into a company that its revenue is mostly based on teaching professionals about security and gets hacked, lets be honest – this can happen to any company and history has proved this point valid. In this case, we would rather show the interesting direction around CMS exploitation becoming more and more popular.

The CMS Exploitation vector of attack is very common and in fact a simple search on one specific flavour (Joomla) resulted in 629 CVEs. Thousands exist in the CVE database and hundreds exist in 0day databases:

http://imperva.typepad.com/.a/6a01156f8c7ad8970c017eeb41bd11970d-pi

Why does this matter?

Businesses rely on 3^rd party software and platforms to conduct their online business, and it is very common to use a CMS such as Joomla or similar and even Sharepoint to simplify delivering a rich website. However by doing so the website is exposed to vulnerabilities found within that CMS.

This brings up an interesting playfield for hackers, which can use Dork techniques and others to fingerprint many websites who use the specific CMS, easily locate many targets and exploit them with either a known (if the system is not up to date as it seems to have been the case here) or a 0day exploit, and have lots of surface covered.

Here is an example of a search term that looks for a specific function in a known CMS which is known to be vulnerable, in order to identify potential targets, the result is astounding. ~263,000 potential targets.

http://imperva.typepad.com/.a/6a01156f8c7ad8970c017eeb41be50970d-pi

What can an organization do to protect itself?

This hack could have been prevented by either constantly patching of all the 3^rd party code of the application and/or by implementing a web application firewall in front of the application.

Where can I learn more?

Going back to our HII report from January (“Lessons learned from the Yahoo hack”), we have shown how third party code may contain vulnerabilities and security holes that could result in a hack, this is of course not the same case, as the HII spoke of talks about a 3^rd party service that got compromised, however the security implications are the same.

“Cybercrime is a very serious issue and can cause UK businesses to lose thousands of pounds each day. The announcement by the Business and IT Sector Skills Council to launch cyber security apprenticeships will be welcomed across the UK. With over 2,000 DDoS attacks a day it has never been more important for the UK to be equipped to tackle this problem, and for this it will need the best talent available. Yet while the apprenticeships will add extraordinary value to the UK’s fight against cybercrime, we cannot rest on our laurels until these candidates are fully trained. Businesses must take action now to ensure they are fully protected from incoming threats and take on a risk management approach to IT security. This initiative should simply act as a reminder to SMBs to scrutinise their current security policies in order to prevent future attacks.”

The platform consists of two key elements – Zone Wing and Zone Door – that combine to make a network of flexible access controllers that can be matched exactly to users’ system design requirements. In addition, access readers can be configured to be real-time time registration points, or auxiliary terminals can be added onto the system to provide richer T&A functionality – delivering simplicity, clever design and cost savings to customers.

Zone Wing, the intelligent part of the system, controls all communications with the host system over Ethernet. It stores access profiles and offline events for the points it supervises and communicates with all connected Zone Door units over an innovative CAN subnetwork.

Zone Door manages all of the inputs and outputs for access control. Each Zone Door has two card (or biometric) reader inputs, RS485 connection (for various peripherals) and all of the required digital I/O. Each Zone Wing can have up to 32 Zone Door units connected to it, enabling a single ‘controller’ to be built for between 1 and 64 doors.

Shortlisted at the IFSEC & FIREX Awards 2013 in the Access Control Product of the Year category, Zone Access has been demonstrated for the first time at the IFSEC (http://www.ifsec.co.uk) show this week.

”The concept is simple and quite unique,” explains Nick Jakowiw, Managing Director at Spica in the UK. ”We have developed an access control platform to suit whatever design or physical layout a customer wants. One or two channel controllers at each door, localised panels for clusters of doors, fully-centralised panels, or even putting the I/O and readers locally at each door while keeping the intelligence central. Zone Wing and Door does all of this and more.”

The DIN-rail mounting means other ancillary items can be added as required by the customer, from vendors who specialise in such things as power supplies, interposing relays, modems, wireless bridges, etc. Users can also add a modem or additional memory to Zone Wing using the two USB ports if needed.

Zone Wing and Zone Door went on sale on 1 May 2013, and is distributed through Spica’s subsidiaries and network of partners across the UK, Europe and the Middle East.

Zone Wing and Door – key features:

• DIN-rail mounted

• Third Party power supply to suit configuration

• Additional elements added to suit (wireless or mobile network interfaces and bridges, UPS, battery back-up/charging circuit, interposing relays for heavier duty locks, etc.)

• Some digital inputs can act as digital outputs

• Some digital outputs can act as digital inputs

• Card reader I/O can also be used for general I/O (even with a reader connected, the reader input terminals can also operate an exit push-button)

• Zone Wing/Zone Door intercommunication over CAN 2.0b subnetwork.

The advanced persistent threat (APT) is waging an all-out attack on enterprises’ intellectual property. Yet most companies continue to try to protect themselves using approaches that are years out of date. That is one of the conclusions in Responding to Targeted Cyberattacks, a frank new how-to book published by global IT association ISACA and written by professionals at Ernst & Young LLP.

The threat landscape has progressed from unsophisticated “script kiddies” to hackers to insiders to today’s state-sponsored attacks, where enterprises are attacked because of who they are, what they do and the value of their intellectual property (IP).

“There are no universal solutions to prevent being infiltrated,” said James Holley, leader for Ernst & Young LLP’s Information Security Incident Response services and co-author of the book. “If sophisticated and well-funded attackers target a specific environment, they will get in. In this rapidly evolving threat landscape, information security professionals need to adopt the mindset that their network is already compromised or soon will be.”

In a detailed look at an escalating global problem, the authors highlight five things every organization should know:

1. Advanced threats now target people—people have become your first line of defense.

2. Cyberattacks are a business problem and a people problem, not just a technology problem.

3. User education and awareness are critical to your success.

4. “Prevention” strategies of the past are not enough now – today’s strategy needs to be: “Complicate – Detect – Respond – Educate – Govern.”

5. Four emerging capabilities are needed to implement the new strategy for dealing with cyberattacks:

-Centralized log aggregation and correlation

-Ability to conduct forensic analysis across the enterprise

-Ability to sweep the enterprise for “indicators of compromise

-Ability to inspect memory to detect malicious code

“This book is in response to a need identified by security, risk and assurance professionals—the people on the front lines of keeping attackers in check and protecting an organization’s key assets,” said Rolf von Roessing, CISA, CISM, CGEIT, CISSP, FBCI, president, FORFA AG and member of ISACA’s Professional Influence and Advocacy Committee. “There are plenty of books on incident management, but very few that offer an actionable roadmap for preparing, containing and mitigating cyberattacks.”

Responding to Targeted Cyberattacks is the second installment in a cybersecurity series from ISACA, a global association of 100,000 information security, assurance, risk and governance professionals. The first, Advanced Persistent Threat Awareness Study Results, was issued in February. The survey of more than 1,500 security professionals found that an overwhelming majority (94 percent) of respondents believe the APT represents a credible threat to national security and economic stability. Additionally, 63 percent think it is only a matter of time before they are attacked and one in five has already experienced an APT attack.

The book is available at no charge to members of ISACA; non-members can purchase a print or electronic version at www.isaca.org/cyberattacks.

Honeywell has announced the addition of advanced video verification and enhanced communications options to the Galaxy® Flex integrated intruder alarm and door control system designed for small to mid-sized commercial businesses (SMBs) and large residential sites. Galaxy Flex is a cost-effective security solution (with 12 on-board wired zones to minimize expansion costs), and offers all the key features of the Galaxy Dimension security solution in a fully compliant EN50131-1 Security Grade 2, PD6662:2010 system.

Honeywell’s Galaxy Flex provides installers with a solution that is faster and more cost-effective to install due to its flame retardant, toughened polycarbonate housing that can host radio, communications and other features directly within the control panel box. This reduces cabling requirements and the need to install additional boxes. Using the keypad programming configuration is rapid, which saves time in commissioning the control panel. The product also incorporates a ‘plug and play’ feature which automatically detects remote peripherals once the panel is powered up. This reduces training requirements and speeds up installation.

The Galaxy Flex security system enables end users to manage access control and intrusion operations simply and efficiently through a single intuitive interface. Programming functionality is simple and easy for end-users to operate, with a quick start guide and easy-to-navigate menu.

A key advantage of Galaxy Flex is the multi-path communication options it offers, allowing IP alarm signalling to take place via a GPRS and/or Ethernet connection in addition to running on a standard PSTN line. Comprehensive diagnostics on the GPRS ensure swift and reliable set up. Beyond providing more flexibility of installation and operation, choosing GPRS dual path communications means installers can eliminate recurring costs currently associated with using third party communicators.

Galaxy Flex visual verification functionality provides customers with a more reliable method of verifying alarms compared to existing sequential and audio methods. A customer’s central monitoring station (CMS) or alarm receiving centre (ARC) will receive a series of pre- and post- alarm images, allowing them to quickly and easily verify a threat. By using these images, the CMS or ARC can carry out more reliable identification of the cause of the alert; reducing false alarms and avoiding unnecessary use of Police and installer resources, as well as minimising inconvenience and penalties associated with false alarms. In addition, the strong visual evidence of intrusion provided by the associated images means that insurers can process claims more quickly, and the Police have a more robust case to help secure prosecutions.

For security managers using a Galaxy Flex security system in conjunction with a CMS or ARC, a key benefit is the ability to carry out maintenance and servicing from a remote location with automatic health report generation. Site visits can be time consuming and inconvenient for a customer, and are a cost to the installer in time, resource allocation and fuel charges. These can be reduced by up to 50 per cent each year as one of the two compulsory annual maintenance checks can be carried out remotely. Moreover, bi-directional remote servicing functionality allows the CMS or ARC to check that maintenance work has been carried out successfully, something that most alternative third party communicators cannot provide.

Galaxy Flex is compliant with the European Security Grade 2 standard that installers implementing solutions for SMBs and large residential sites are legally obliged to meet in Spain. Equally, for end users a Grade 2 accreditation is essential for keeping down insurance premiums and ensuring their business or house is adequately protected.

“Galaxy Flex is a simple-to-use, cost effective and feature-rich solution for intruder detection and door control that is specifically designed for SMBs and bigger residential properties,” comments Martin Pacitti, Galaxy Product Manager EMEA, Honeywell Security Group. “This is a section of our customer base that considers the protection of its people and its assets of paramount importance. With Galaxy Flex our message to them is clear; there’s no need to compromise.”

The PSNI and SIA investigators carried out inspections at 19 venues, checking 80 security personnel in Lurgan, Newry and Portadown. The venues included pubs, bars and nightclubs.

In Lurgan, warnings were issued to two door supervisors for failing to notify the SIA of their change of address, which is a breach of SIA licensing conditions.

In Newry, a door supervisor was found working on an expired licence; the police are considering further action against this individual. A further two warnings were issued to door supervisors who failed to notify the SIA of a change of their address and a failure to display their licence while working.

In Portadown, the police are conducting further enquiries into two unlicensed door supervisors and two security managers who employ them. It is a legal requirement that both frontline security operatives and those who deploy them to be SIA licensed.

SIA Head of Investigation Sharon Roberts said: “The majority of those checked were correctly licensed, however, I am disappointed by the overall result. All of the offences detected were at premises using in-house security staff. I would urge all employers of security to check the licence status of their staff using the SIA’s Register of Licence Holders accessible via the SIA website.”

“Over the course of 2013, Northern Ireland will be hosting some major events and it is important for the safety of the public that security staff are properly vetted, trained and licenced.

“We are committed to working with the PSNI to ensure regular checks are carried out and will be paying particular attention to those premises that use their own security.”

A spokesperson for the PSNI said: “Officers from Neighbourhood Policing Teams in E District assisted SIA investigators during this operation. Our main aim was to educate local door staff about the need to be licensed and ensure compliance with UK legislation designed to protect the public.

“We will continue to work alongside and assist the SIA and will also be conducting our own checks on door staff and licensees in the future. I am glad to say the majority of those individuals checked have the required accreditation and training.”

Honeywell has announced a full range of IP cameras which comply with ONVIF standards, providing installers with a vast array of possibilities to choose the right solution for every installation. The new cameras are additions to equIP® and Performance series of Honeywell cameras and offer complete IP camera solutions for all video needs. Delivering exceptional image and picture quality, these cameras are ideally suited to environments that require detailed surveillance, including cities, roads, airports, government facilities, schools, campuses and industrial sites.

A core benefit of the new IP ONVIF compliant cameras is progressive scan video which enables improved detail on moving objects such as faces and car number plates. Furthermore their Digital Noise Reduction (DNR) feature results in significant storage savings without sacrificing image quality in low light. The true day/night cameras, available in both 1080p and 720p wide dynamic,  provide optimum performance both indoors, and outdoors when using the environmental housing.

The cameras can also be integrated with Honeywell’s MAXPRO^® NVR SE and XE 2.5 solutions to offer an efficient all Honeywell IP system. The new ONVIF equIP and Performance cameras also support expanding integration possibilities to third-party systems, ensuring full interoperability and leveraging of existing network infrastructure. The range offers quick and easy installation and also enables full system scalability, allowing installation of just one camera or several hundred.

The high resolution of the 1080p cameras allows operators to digitally zoom for superior detail and to cover nearly three times the horizontal area compared with standard fixed analogue cameras, reducing the number of cameras required to monitor a fixed space and significantly lowering total cost of ownership. The 1080p cameras’ superior image detail and ability to highlight small details, such as facial features, makes them an ideal solution for installations that require enhanced detail when zooming in at the highest possible resolution.

The 720p cameras use wide dynamic technology to improve image visibility; even in high contrast environments where objects are hard to identify due to severe backlight or shadows. This allows security personnel to identify subjects in challenging environments such as areas with strong back lighting, abrupt changes in illumination, or when looking from a well-lit area into a darker one. The technology delivers video with excellent exposure in the harshest of lighting conditions enabling the operator to see recorded events more clearly for use as evidence or to inform decisions.

“Successfully using IP technology to improve the quality, detail and resolution of video recording, particularly in challenging environments, is a constant focus for security manufacturers,” comments Dave Collingwood, Product Manager for Honeywell Security Group EMEA. “Helping installers and end users monitor wider areas and use video footage more effectively is driving the evolution of and demand for IP solutions.”

Missouri high school solving incidents faster and more accurately; enhancing staff productivity

IQinVision, market leader in high-performance HD megapixel IP cameras, has announced that Chillicothe High School, in north-central Missouri, has deployed IQinVision HD megapixel cameras as part of their new IP video surveillance system. SMC is the designer of this system.

When Dan Nagel, Assistant Principal and Athletic Director, assumed his position two years ago, his many responsibilities included attendance and discipline for the school’s 605 students. One of the tools at his disposal was the existing video surveillance system. “We had about 16 analog cameras and the images were not very clear at all. The DVR was hard to work with, and even if you did figure it out, getting positive ID on a student was quite difficult. We had to make an identification by looking at the clothes a student was wearing. If we didn’t solve an incident that day, and the students showed up the next day in different clothes, we were out of luck.”

Nagel secured funding in the 2012 budget to upgrade the school’s video surveillance technology. The high school had a number of integrator companies come in, demonstrate their equipment, and explain how they would design and install a new system. “We wanted IP over the DVR technology,” Nagel recalled. “We discussed different camera resolutions and camera coverage strategies with each of the potential integrators.”

Chillicothe High School selected SMC and their package of ExacqVision Client video management software and IQinVision HD megapixel cameras. “We have several long hallways,” Nagel explained, “and we tried to reduce the overall number of cameras needed by utilizing wide camera angles and deploying higher megapixel cameras.” The installation was completed in June 2012 and after nearly a year of use; Nagel and fellow staff are suitably impressed.

“We probably utilize the system once a day for minor incidents, and once a week for something major,” Nagel said. The IQeye cameras are located anywhere students tend to congregate—in front of classrooms and banks of lockers, bathroom entrances, the cafeteria, and the commons. The school’s Resource Officer wanted coverage of the school front entrance and, of course, there are long views down all the major hallways. Cameras also keep an eye on the parking lots. Nagel and staff use the video mainly for after-incident review, although there is a camera in the Internal School Suspension room, which is monitored live because staff cutbacks don’t allow for a teacher in that classroom.

“We have a lot of incidents where video has been key,” Nagel explained. We have traffic accidents and the occasional fight where video is quite valuable. We had an incident where a student was truant and the video system documented the vehicle she got into in the school parking lot. Her mother recognized the car and we were able to quickly solve that situation. We also review video to investigate stolen property claims; it’s valuable for a lot of different situations.”

Both Nagel and the school principal are able to view all 28 IQeye camera feeds on their computers, as is the District Superintendent. The principal’s secretary monitors a camera trained on the school’s front entrance. The high school stores video for at least 30 days, but to date Nagel has only needed to access and review video up to about two weeks old.

Nagel continued, “Now I don’t have to worry about who is telling the truth and who is not telling the truth—we can figure things out easily and quickly. Between our old system and the ExacqVision and IQinVision system, it is night and day. Our success rate in terms of justice served has tripled. For any incident, I used to have to have to interview three or four students, write everything down on a legal pad, figure out who knows what and who won’t tell on their friends…now, I just pull up the video. It has probably tripled my efficiency as well, and I’m able to channel that time into my Athletic Director role and other Assistant Principal activities, and not doing discipline. It really is night and day from when I first arrived to the capabilities we have now.”
