A tool to detect Slow HTTP DoS attacks on pcap files

-
Hello everybody,

I wrote a python tool to detect Slow HTTP DoS attacks on pcap files: slowdos_detector. This is ideal for post-mortem analysis on captured traffic (pcap files). If you are curious about how to test it, you could leverage slowhttptest to launch an HTTP DoS attack on your test server, capture the traffic and then use slowdos_detector to show offending HTTP transactions. Enjoy it and ping me if you have questions, issues or suggestions.

The forgotten JBOSS Admin Console and CVE 2010-1871

Well, we are in 2013 and It’s amazing how many JBOSS administration interfaces (jmx-console, web-console, invokers etc) are still exposed on the internet, however we are not going to talk about it. A couple of days ago I was performing a penetration testing and I found an environment with JBOSS AS 6. The JMX-Console wasn’t password protected but one console in special attracted my attention: the Admin Console. It seems that this console, I do not know the reason, is kind of forgotten by the security community as an attack vector. The default access credential for this console is admin/admin and it is also built upon a vulnerable version of Seam framework CVE 2010-1871 . This console provides a powerful JBOSS administration allowing a user to check the server’s configuration, to deploy and to delete applications, to read datasources etc. I checked out for the default credential but they were changed. There were other ways to hack this JBOSS but I was quite interes

Man in the middle attack through a web shell

Hello all. Let’s talk today about Man in the middle attack . No, this isn’t a post talking about what it is and how to perform a MITM attack. The proposal of this blog is to share experience with you, then most of the posts (at least until now) are about things that happened in real environments. Recently performing a penetration testing it was possible to get a web shell through a combination of vulnerabilities.   That’s good… a web shell right? But how about to going deep and explore more of the environment? Yes, if you thought about reverse web shell you are right, but, in this case, I couldn’t establish an outbound connection (this is a subject for another post). I did a lot of things in such environment and one of the things done was a MITM attack through a web shell. Let’s go to some important details. First of all, it was a Windows box. There are some tools you can perform a MITM attack on Windows box such as Cain & Abel , but remember, we had a web shell and thi
