One of my interests for the last couple of years has been memory analysis especially for use in malware analysis.  I've mentioned the volatility framework in previous diaries, and I use it for nearly all of my memory analysis of WindowsXP systems, but I've recently begun thinking about what tools I need in order to do similar analysis on Mac OS X machines.  So, I was thrilled when I saw that Matthieu Suiche (of windd fame) was doing a talk at BlackHat-DC on Mac OS X memory analysis.  The slides are now available and can be found here, and the whitepaper here.  A pretty nice read.

One of the things we seem to harp on here at the SANS Internet Storm Center is monitoring your logs.  One of our faithful readers, Neal, sent us an e-mail this afternoon regarding some strange entries he found in his Apache logs (see below) and some rumblings of a number of WordPress blogs being compromised.  He was in contact with one of the affected bloggers and they figured out that the compromise resulted in the injection of some obfuscated javascript that created a hidden iframe.  We haven't heard exactly what the vulnerability was that was exploited, but if the log entries are actually related there may be a permission problem or perhaps some sort of SQL injection issue with joomla or the tinymce editor (at least, that is what the log entries showed that someone is looking for).  If any of our readers have info on what the vulnerability is (a Google search didn't show anything recent for tinymce, there was a Joomla vulnerability reported in January but the exploits I've seen didn't touch license.txt), please drop us a line and we will update this diary.  The particular log entry that caught Neal's attention was

GET /joomla/plugins/editors/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/license.txt

So you may want to be on the lookout for those in your own logs.

Enter comment here... a fake TeamViewer page, and that page led to a different type of malware. This week's infection involved a downloaded JavaScript (.js) file that led to Microsoft Installer packages (.msi files) containing other script that used free or open source programs.
distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
