[Hook Analyser 3.0] A Freeware Malware Analysis and Cyber Threat Intelligence Software


In terms of improvements, a new module has been added - Cyber Threat Intelligence. Threat Intel module is being created to gather and analyse information related to Cyber Threats and vulnerabilities.

The module can be run using HookAnalyser.exe (via Option 6 ), or can be run directly.

The module present information on a web browser (with dashboard alike representation) with the following sections -
  1. Threat Vectors - by (%) Country
  2. Threat Vectors - by Geography 
  3. Vulnerability / Threat Feed.

[ModSecurity v2.7] Open Source Web Application Firewall


ModSecurity is an embeddable web application firewall, which means it can be deployed as part of your existing web server infrastructure (Apache, IIS7 and Nginx).

This deployment method has certain advantages:

  1. No changes to existing network. It only takes a few minutes to add ModSecurity to your existing web servers. And because it was designed to be completely passive by default, you are free to deploy it incrementally and only use the features you need. It is equally easy to remove or deactivate it should decide you don't want it any more.
  2. No single point of failure. Unlike with network-based deployments, you will not be introducing a new point of failure to your system.
  3. Implicit load balancing and scaling. Because it works embedded in web servers, ModSecurity will automatically take advantage of the additional load balancing and scalability features. You will not need to think of load balancing and scaling unless your existing system needs them.
  4. Minimal overhead. Because it works from inside the web server process there is no overhead for network communication and minimal overhead in parsing and data exchange.
  5. No problem with encrypted or compressed content. Many IDS systems have difficulties analysing SSL traffic. This is not a problem for ModSecurity because it is positioned to work when the traffic is decrypted and decompressed.
ModSecurity is known to work well on a wide range of operating systems. Our customers are successfully running it on Linux, Windows, Solaris, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, AIX, Mac OS X, and HP-UX.

[CrowdRE] Reverse Engineering Tool



A new project called CrowdRE aims to make it easy for the reverse engineering of complex applications working in collaboration with other users. Normally, the process reversing software from a complicated binary can consume much time, CrowdRE will help accelerate this process through teamwork.

CrowdRE, which is currently considered in an "alpha" stage of development, is available as an plugin for IDA Pro 6.3.120531. With the plug-in, developers can reverse engineer on one or more functions of a binary and upload the results to a server in the cloud that keeps track of everything in a central database. This allows customers to benefit from a job than other developers already have completed and share the progress that make the rest of the community. The database allows any search and each function can have different concurrent "commits".



[OWASP CSRFTester] Facilitates Ability to Test Applications for CSRF


OWASP CSRFTester is a tool for testing CSRF vulnerability in websites. Just when developers are starting to run in circles over Cross Site Scripting, the 'sleeping giant' awakes for yet another web-catastrophe. Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) is an attack whereby the victim is tricked into loading information from or submitting information to a web application for which they are currently authenticated. The problem is that the web application has no means of verifying the integrity of the request. The OWASP CSRFTester Project attempts to give developers the ability to test their applications for CSRF flaws. 

[Faraday] Penetration Test IDE


Faraday introduces a new concept (IPE) Integrated Penetration-Test Environment a multiuser Penetration test IDE.
