Hackers Find a New Place to Hide Rootkits
2008-05-15 03:23:00 Security researchers have developed a new type of malicious rootkt software that hides itself in an obscure part of a computer's microprocessor. It is Called as System Management Mode (SMM) rootkit, the software runs in a protected part of a computer's memory that can be locked and rendered invisible to the operating system, but which can give attackers a picture of what's happening in a computer's memory.The SMM rootkit comes with keylogging and communications software and could be used to steal sensitive information from a victim's computer. It was built by Shawn Embleton and Sherri Sparks, who run an Oviedo, Florida, security company called Clear Hat Consulting.The proof of concept software will be demonstrated publicly for the first time at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas this August.The rootkits used by cyber crooks today are sneaky programs designed to cover up their tracks while they run in order to avoid detection. Rootkits hit the mainstream in late 2005...

Designing BSD Rootkits An Introduction to Kernel Hacking
2008-05-04 17:35:00 Designing BSD Rootkits introduces the fundamentals of programming and developing rootkits under the FreeBSD operating system. In addition to explaining rootkits and rootkit writing, the book aims to inspire readers to explore the FreeBSD kernel and gain a better understanding of the kernel and the FreeBSD operating system itself. Unlike titles on exploit writing or how to gain root access to a system, Designing BSD Rootkits focuses on maintaining root access long after gaining access to a computer. Written in a friendly, accessible style and sprinkled with geek humor and pop culture references, the author favors a "learn by example" approach that assumes no prior kernel hacking experience.http://www.mediafire-.com/?fyzf1zgcidg

Stealth techniques in rootkits
2008-01-11 21:21:00 Some days ago MR Team members warned that a new stealth technique was being used by some rootkits.When this type of malware is run in a system, it makes a copy of the original MBR in the absolute sector 62 of the hard disk and overwrites the one existing in the sector 0 with malicious instructions. Additionally, it installs itself at the end of the hard disk, being its code of approximately 240kb in size. The next time the computer is started, the first sector of the drive will be loaded before the operating system. The first sector of the drive contains the modified MBR, whose code will load the other part of the malware (~240Kb). This part, in turn, is responsible for the network communication established between the operating system and the BIOS interruption 13h, hiding the modified MBR and the malicious code. This technique allows any type of malware to be camouflaged in the system, making its detection more difficult. Thanks to Arrizen Pérez for his explanations.

Tecnicamente, é possÃvel afirmar que o rootkit é uma evolução dos cavalos-de-tróia, malwares desenvolvidos para ganhar acesso a um computador. Contudo, a caracterÃstica principal dos rootkits é o fato de serem capazes de fugirem da identificação. Para tal, eles se instalam principalmente no modo kernel (o núcleo do sistema operacional).

Los 20 virus más nocivos de junio según Kaspersky
2007-07-05 12:17:00 Y sucedió lo que nos temíamos. El primer lugar en la lista de los programas nocivos más difundidos lo ocupa un programa que no tiene nada de nocivo. Durante varios meses se han seguido las diferentes variantes del programa publicitario Virtumonde y han venido realizando un verdadero asedio a los ordenadores, penetrando al sistema disfrazados de juegos, de nuevas versiones de populares programas y agregando sus módulos a los programas gratuitos. Tampoco han tenido reparos en propagarse con la ayuda de troyanos y esconderse en el sistema mediante rootkits. Todos estos trucos ya los hemos observado en nuestros anteriores informes. Han cambiado sólo las letras finales en los nombres de las variantes de Virtumonde.En junio, al fin consiguió el éxito: Virtumonde.jp ocupó el primer lugar, superando casi en dos veces el porcentaje del líder del mes pasado, el troyano-descargador Agent.bjo.Otro de los representantes de los troyanos-marcadores tuvo un éxito similar. En un mes, Diales.qn subió...
