Some Terminologies You Should Know About Trojans




Some Terminologies You Should Know About Trojans


in this following post we will discus some most frequently used terminologies that we usually hear when word Trojan pops out. They are discussed here because after knowing them you'll be able to understand how attacker manages to circulate RAT server, hide its presence and also bypasses firewall rules.
Over And Covert Channel:
A channel here describes means of communication. An overt channel means legal, obvious or known where as covert means hidden and concealed. In other words overt means legal means of communication whereas covert means illegal means of communication. In technical terms overt channel follows rules by TCP/IP suite where as covert channel exploit weakness of TCP/IP model for illegal communication.
Wrappers:
Wrappers are programs that helps binding two files together. They can bind either multiple files of same extension or multiple files with multiple extension. Wrappers are also known as packers and file binders. They can execute process in background or complete stealth mode.
Trojan Construction Kits:
These are the things we call today as RAT clients. All RAT clients are nothing but Trojan Construction Kits. They help attacker build features in their RAT server.
Stub:
Stub is unusual and extra embedded code in some program to change its signature. Stubs are used for generating a RAT server that changes signature of RAT server and it bypasses scanning by Anti-Virus.

Attacks Against Weak Token Generation

Attacks Against Weak Token Generation During our last post to this we discusses about basics of Session Management Attack which is also known as session hacking. In this post we will have a look on how you can attack weak token generation method to attack session management. Following are most common methods of generating weak tokens, Using meaningful tokens Predictable token generation Adding time dependent variations in tokens Now some important things before we discus real hack steps. In applications that use standard cookie mechanism for transmitting session tokens, it is easy to identify which item of data contains the token. In other cases it needs real brain work to identify them. Many web developers add extra tokens to cookies to fool hackers for example an application might add 14 tokens to yours browser's store, out of which only six are responsible for session management no matter what value other eight have only six of them will hand...

Nmap Scanning

Image
Nmap best known as hacker’s best friend may it be ethical or criminal is one of the best known network scanners available today. Today nearly each and every hacker uses nmap as network scanning tool and even pen-testing tools are bundled with Nmap as basic port scanning tool. Nmap can scan network, ports, services and also garb OS. This tutorial is written keeping this in mind that everyone should be able to grasp all commands and switches given in this tutorial in single reading. Do you think it’s impossible so why not give a try. First we divide switches into four types, 1.Synchronous Scans 2.Ping Scans 3.Time Scans 4.Output Type Synchronous Scan :All synchronous scans start with “-s”(without quotes), note that the ‘s’ denoting synchronous is not capital. Now a basic synchronous scan command is written as follows, nmap -s[synchronous scan type] ip_address ---------------------------------------------- -sT Synchronous TCP scan -sS Synchronous Stea...
