Aurora, hooking, advisories, security, RE, life - my blog

Mon, 19 Apr 2010 14:16:55 -0500

Hey guys,
When I first posted this blog, it had only 1-2 lame posts, now I got much more security oriented posts.
My blog is about security research (I still got some security advisories I'm going to release after vendor will patch it),
Reverse Engineering, Aurora related original information, Hooking, programming, malware & hacking!
I'm also a member of security group who research malware, so I get very interesting samples! :]

All the content is more-or-less is original, no copying of other posts.
You're all invited to view, comment and sign up as followers.
Thanks!

Administrator account VS. SYSTEM account

Sun, 17 Jan 2010 04:34:28 -0600

Full blog post including a bit sarcasm at : http://imthezuk.blogspot.com/

I've encountered one trojan who ran already as Administrator and tried to run privilege escalation exploit against himself, so he can run as SYSTEM.
This is what made me write this post :

Let's say there are 2 programs vulnerable to remote-code-execution bug.
1. One is running as SYSTEM
2. One is running as Administrator.

Little pre-post-information regarding exploitation : If you run your exploit against a process which runs as Administrator, Your payload will run as Administrator. If you run it against SYSTEM account your payload will run as SYSTEM account.

Which one you would want to exploit more?
95% of security people, will say : "the SYSTEM one, off-course SYSTEM is much stronger than admin, it's the strongest user in the OS".
I'd say : it doesn't matter and I might slightly want to run as Admin instead of System. Why? This is what this blog-post is all about.

Python POST command

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 03:32:30 -0500

I've built a project for the company I work in, we'll publish it later, but one of the problems of the project was using another proxy which didn't implemented a POST method (and now I know why, it was hell to find about it).
So, I will make your life easier, in-order to get a POST parameters, there's socket fileobject called rfile, that's what you're looking for.
Params = self.rfile.read(int(rinstance.headers["content-length"]))
After that, building a POST (ssl or not) request using raw data is relatively easy.

I hope it will save you a few minutes,
Cheers.
