 Tcpxtract – Extract Files from Network Traffic AKA Carving Last updated: September 9, 2015 | 15,075 views tcpxtract is a tool for extracting files from network traffic based on file signatures. Extracting files based on file type headers and footers (sometimes called “carving”) is an age old data recovery technique. Tools like Foremost employ this technique to recover files from arbitrary data streams. tcpxtract uses this technique specifically for the application of intercepting files transmitted across a network. Other tools that fill a similar need are driftnet and EtherPEG. driftnet and EtherPEG are tools for monitoring and extracting graphic files on a network and is commonly used by network administrators to police the internet activity of their users. The major limitations of driftnet and EtherPEG is that they only support three filetypes with no easy way of adding more. The search technique they use is also not scalable and does not search across packet boundries. tcpxtrac...

 Malware Analyser v3.0 – A Static & Dynamic Malware Analysis Tool Malware Analyser is freeware tool to perform static and dynamic analysis on malware executables, it can be used to identify potential traces of anti-debug, keyboard hooks, system hooks and DEP setting change calls in the malware. This is a stepping release since for the first time the Dynamic Analysis has been included for file creations (will be improved for other network/registry indicators sooner) along with process dumping feature. Malware analysis is a process to perform analysis of malware and how to study the components and behavior of malware. On this paper it will use two methods of malware analysis, static analysis and dynamic analysis. Static analysis is a method of malware analysis which done without running the malware. While dynamic analysis is a method of malware analysis which the malware is running in a secure system [7]. Malware analysis is important, since many malware at this day which is not ...

 Sniffjoke 0.4.1 Released – Anti-sniffing Framework & Tool For Session Scrambling SniffJoke is an application for Linux that handle transparently your TCP connection, delaying, modifying and injecting fake packets inside your transmission, make them almost impossible to be correctly read by a passive wiretapping technology (IDS or sniffer). An Internet client running SniffJoke injects in the transmission flow some packets able to seriously disturb passive analysis like sniffing, interception and low level information theft. No server support is needed! The internet protocols have been developed to allow two elements to communicate, not some third-parts to intercept their communication. This will happen, but the communication system has been not developed with this objective. SniffJoke uses the network protocol in a permitted way, exploiting the implicit difference of network stack present in an operating system respect the sniffers dissector. How Does It Work? It works only und...

 Collar Bomber Gets Owned By Word Metadata & USB Drive There were other more technical and probably relevant stories to report on today, but for some reason I just found this story very odd and strangely fascinating. Now here a strange case, a man climbs into a young girls bedroom in the middle of the night, threatens her with a baseball bat and then chains a bomb to her neck. His random instructions include e-mailing to a Gmail account and he leaves a ‘soft copy’ version of the ransom note on a pen-drive with the girl. There are plenty of metadata extraction tools such as Metagoofil and The Revisionist. And well even without those, after recovering the file you can just open it in Word and view the metadata. I’m guessing this Paul Peters chap wasn’t so familiar with wear levelling and metadata. He should have known better, and well he was doing this for a ransom..so really he should have just bought a new pen-drive for the job. But as we know well, these people don’t think lik...

 Rec Studio 4 – Reverse Engineering Compiler & Decompiler REC Studio is an interactive decompiler. It reads a Windows, Linux, Mac OS X or raw executable file, and attempts to produce a C-like representation of the code and data used to build the executable file. It has been designed to read files produced for many different targets, and it has been compiled on several host systems. REC Studio 4 is a complete rewrite of the original REC decompiler. It uses more powerful analysis techniques such as partial Single Static Assignment (SSA), allows loading Mac OS X files and supports 32 and 64 bit binaries. Although still under development, it has reached a stage that makes it more useful than the old Rec Studio 2. Although REC can read Win32 executable (aka PE) files produced by Visual C++ or Visual Basic 5, there are limitations on the output produced. REC will try to use whatever information is present in the .EXE symbol table. If the .EXE file was compiled without debugging infor...

 The Cryptographic Implementations Analysis Toolkit (CIAT) is a compendium of command line and graphical tools whose aim is to help in the detection and analysis of encrypted byte sequences within files (executable and non-executable). It is particularly helpful in the forensic analysis and reverse engineering of malware using cryptographic code and encrypted payloads. This was an interesting find because it wasn’t too long ago I published a post about Mediggo, a Tool To Detect Weak Or Insecure Cryptosystems Using Generic Cryptanalysis Techniques. Requirements Windows Binaries included in this distribution as well as supporting libraries were compiled using gcc, Mingw and Msys. Linux binaries were compiled using gcc 4.1.2. They were tested from command line in machine with Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit + SP1) and on Linux Gentoo 2008.0 X86 operating systems. They should run without problems in any computer with Windows 2000, XP or VISTA 32bit and any Linux x86 with Mesa3-D, bu...

 Sysdig – Linux System Troubleshooting Tool Sysdig is open source, Linux System Troubleshooting Tool: capture system state and activity from a running Linux instance, then save, filter and analyze. Think of it as strace + tcpdump + lsof + awesome sauce. With a little Lua cherry on top. Sysdig was born from a team’s constant frustration. System level troubleshooting is just way more of a pain than it should be — especially in distributed, virtualized, and cloud-based environments. So they took the lessons they learned while building network monitoring tools like WinPCap and Wireshark and created a new kind of system troubleshooting tool for Linux. What is Sysdig tool? Sysdig uses a unified platform to deliver security, monitoring, and forensics in a container- and microservices-friendly architecture. Sysdig Monitor is a monitoring, troubleshooting, and alerting suite offering deep, process-level visibility into dynamic, distributed production environments. Sysdig captures system cal...
