Separating actual urls hidden behind cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 link can help reduce phishing

Lately i have been getting a lot of phishing emails in my inbox. Over cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 years yahoo has done a good job in redirecting those to spam folders. Of course every now and cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365n one or two might slip through cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 cracks but its only until recently when i started getting a lot of phishing emails in my inbox. Emails for washington mutual, paypal, bank of america, etc. It didnt matter if i have an account with cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365m or not. Luckily Over time i have developed a habit of dragging my mouse over cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 link to see what is cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 actual url behind cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 link. Sure enough, it was taking me to some ocá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365r website instead of what was shown in cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 link. What surprises me most is that though phishers have been using cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 same old method of deceiving cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 users by making cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365m click on fake urls, cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 industry is still trying to find all cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 possible means but not separating cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 actual url from cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 link.

Here is an example. I received this in my yahoo mail today. If you drag your mouse over cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 link, you will see cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 actual url is something else as mentioned in cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 link. (Be careful if you click on cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 url)

I know its an ongoing battle between cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 product managers and cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 security professionals on Where do you draw a line between a feature and cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 security. Allowing a user to click on a url is cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 basic feature of a html page. Html emails use cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 same feature which is exploited by cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 phishers and with a great success rate. The point i am trying to make here is email providers are spending a lot of money in creating a robust phishing detection mechanism but giving no attention to cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 urls. How hard it is to match cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 actual url with cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 text mentioned in cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 link. If it doesnt match cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365n based on ocá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365r criterias it can be marked as phishing email/spam. If cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365y dont want to mark it as phishing emails, cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 least cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365y can do is display cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 actual url separately from cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 link and let cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 user copy and paste it, if cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365y want to. Its not a huge inconvenience to cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 user but at cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 same timeit can help reduce phishing attempts from cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 malicious people.

If a phishing url could be displayed like this,

https://www.paypal.com/row/vst/id=11791677P5757633F (http://reseller4.ultrawhb.com/~mrbouble/.public/login.html)

cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365n at least cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 customer is not fooled and if he copies and pastes cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 wrong url cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365n cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365re is no solution to that.

Compliance - is it worth cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 money?

While surfing through cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 net i found a posting on compliance
http://bestsecurity.blogspot.com/2007/02/compliance-audit-is-not-substantive.html

Though it was more of a ranting on cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 compliance but it certainly made me think my experience on PCI compliance.

I do agree that compliance has a place in cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 industry. In my experience, had it not been for compliance, many companies have not paid attention towards web application security at all. Unfortunately, many of cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 product managers or project managers (in big enterprises) still do not understand cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 issue of web application security (or should i say don't want to understand) and hence we see a lot of vulnerable applications out cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365re. As for small and medium businesses, cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 sheer cost of securing web applications in itself makes cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365m not go for cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 solutions. Compliance in a way is forcing cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365m to do something about it. However, cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 problem starts from cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 governing agencies enforcing compliance. Take PCI compliance for example. It all started as a good idea to enforce companies to secure customer information but cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365n cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365y lost focus along cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 way. It is OK as long as you are making sure if cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 network and cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 applications aren't vulnerable but if you want to enforce a company to have source code audit by an independent third party, that is where it gets ridiculous.
What about companies who doesnt want to reveal cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365ir source code? what if it is proprietary software? Can I trust cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 company who is doing my source code audit, more importantly can I trust cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 person who is doing my source code audit? We have seen cases of hackersafe signing websites that cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365y are safe from hackers and we have seen cases of bank's employees (who are cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 guardians of cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 customer information) selling cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 very customer information to cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 outside agencies. Who can I trust? Not to say what is cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 guarantee that cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 person doing cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 source code audit has enough knowledge of cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 language and more importantly where are cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 secure coding guidelines for us to follow?
The sheer cost of doing web application security compliance including black box testing, white box testing, source code analysis, web application firewall, etc, etc will run into hundreds of thousands of dollars (as we saw in RSA Conference) and not to mention cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 amount you have to pay for cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 auditors.

The ocá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365r ugly side of compliance is auditing companies. For PCI compliance, cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365re have been too many companies doing auditing for price ranging from $1000 to $13000. This confused me in cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 beginning and I started to ask questions about what is cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 value addition for that extra money and after doing a lot of research, I found out it's not about cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 value addition for cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 extra money, it's about saving your neck. When you can buy a compliance certificate for $1000 cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365n why do you want to pay $13000. Of course, if you really are concerned about your security and want to do things cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 right way, cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365n cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 price definitely will not be $1000.

I am sorry to say but compliance has become just anocá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365r way for auditing companies to make money and cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 real message has gotten lost.

Reflection on RSnake


If you have heard of XSS cheat sheet or http://ha.ckers.org/ cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365n you already know him. His name is Robert Hansen or more popularly known as RSnake. If cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365re is any mention of XSS, cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365re is a big chance RSnake’s name or its cheat sheet is mentioned along with it. His contribution in cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 web application security awareness is legendary. On two of his many web sites (http://ha.ckers.org/ and http://sla.ckers.org/ ) you will find a wealth of information on various aspects of webappsec. His XSS cheat sheet is arguably cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 most referenced link in cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 webappsec space with 27000 hits in cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 month of January ’07 alone and http://ha.ckers.org/ has around 10,000 unique visitors per day (not counting cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 RSS feeds) making it probably cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 most followed blog in webappsec field. He has shared his technical expertise with a lot of industry professionals in cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365ir work including but not limited to working with Microsoft engineers to address XSS issue, Cloaking to Stop Scraping, and his discussion with cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 author of cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 chilling effect.

Looking at his past, he started hacking when he entered college, which was when cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 web applications were just getting started. In his words

"I'm a college dropout but was studying Computer Engineering. It was way too boring. They were dealing with cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365oretical nuances of computers and outdated technology (Pascal pseudo-code on Macintosh assembler). At cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 same time that I was going to school, in my part time jobs I was doing in practice what my professors could only barely grasp from a cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365oretical perspective. This was pre-bubble and my parents and my teachers were telling me to get out cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365re and make my millions. I took angel funding for a project, and everything seemed to be going well, but cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365n cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 stock market crashed, investment money dried up and I learned a hard lesson. It was cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 day I closed up shop at my own company that I learned everything I need to know about business.
My first PERL script was a top100 list for webfringe.com (long gone now). I had a lot of people trying to hack it. It was a fun experiment that I finally gave up on due to time issues, but it gave me a lot of insight into how you can spoof traffic. Hackers have some of cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 most interesting traffic on cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 Internet. It's a pleasure to host security sites, because I get great visibility into cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 techniques and tools.”

RSnake is currently based out of California but is planning to move to Texas, US and start his own company SecTheory. In cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 WASC meetup I got a chance to meet with him, and for a person who is known and respected by cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 hackers and security professionals alike, he is very down to earth and with a good sense of humor, unlike a typical geek. Below are some of his contributions to cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 webappsec community. I say some because cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 information below does not represent all his work. Even he has lost track of some of his work over cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 years.
