Malware detection abilities varied, with some products quarantining payloads after execution.
Android OS Security: Risks and Limitations. AISEC Technical ReportFraunhofer AISEC
The number of Androidbased
smartphones is growing rapidly. They are increasingly
used for securitycritical
private and business applications, such as online
banking or to access corporate networks. This makes them a very valuable target
for an adversary. Up to date, significant or largescale
attacks have failed,
but attacks are becoming more sophisticated and successful. Thus, security is of
paramount importance for both private and corporate users. In this paper, we
give an overview of the current state of the art of Android security and present
our extensible automated exploit execution framework. First, we provide a summary
of the Android platform, current attack techniques, and publicly known
exploits. Then, we introduce our extensible exploit execution framework which
is capable of performing automated vulnerability tests of Android smartphones.
It incorporates currently known exploits, but can be easily extended to integrate
future exploits. Finally, we discuss how malware can propagate to Android smartphones
today and in the future, and which possible threats arise. For example,
devicetodevice
infections are possible if physical access is given.

IRJET- Developing an Algorithm to Detect Malware in CloudIRJET Journal
This document discusses developing an algorithm to detect malware in the cloud. It begins by reviewing existing malware detection methods and their limitations for cloud environments. It then presents a new algorithm that uses one-class support vector machines (SVMs) to detect anomalies at the hypervisor level through features collected from the system and network levels of cloud nodes. The algorithm is able to achieve over 90% detection accuracy for different types of malware and denial-of-service attacks. It assesses the benefits of using both system-level and network-level information depending on the attack type. The approach of using dedicated monitoring agents per virtual machine makes it well-suited for cloud environments and able to detect new malware strains without prior knowledge of their functionality.
The document describes a study on web service security conducted by Posani Nagendra Chowdary. It discusses common web application vulnerabilities like command injection, stored XSS, external control of files, weak CAPTCHAs, SQL injection, and malicious file uploads. It also describes popular penetration testing tools and vulnerabilities specific to web services like SOAP messages. Further, it demonstrates developing a vulnerable web application and simulating an attack. The document proposes countermeasures against web service attacks and a penetration testing tool for assessing web service security.
The document provides an introduction to HATEOAS (Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State), which is one of the constraints of REST.
It defines HATEOAS as using hypermedia links in responses to drive application state, rather than through out-of-band information. Popular web APIs often violate HATEOAS by not including these links, unlike web user interfaces which adhere to it.
While including links in API responses may be helpful for developers, it does not truly implement HATEOAS unless the links drive the client application state at runtime, rather than the developer deciding application flow. A true HATEOAS client would handle generic RESTful APIs similar to how a feed reader handles synd
The numbers are shocking: 69% of enterprise security executives report having experienced insider threats over one year. At the same time, 62% of business users report having access to data they should not see. Making matters worse? 43% of business say it takes at least a month (if not longer) to detect employees viewing files and emails they’re not authorized to access.*

Managing microservices with Istio Service MeshRafik HARABI
Developing and managing hundreds (or maybe thousands) of microservices at scale is a challenge for both development and operations teams.
We have seen over the last years the appearance of new frameworks dedicated to deliver ‘Cloud Native’ applications by providing a set of (out of box) building blocks. Most of these frameworks integrate microservices concerns at the code level.
Recently, we have seen the emerging of a new pattern known as sidecar or proxy promoting to push all these common concerns outside of the business code and provides them on the edge by integrate a new layer to the underlying platform called Service Mesh.
Istio is one of the leading Service Mesh implementing sidecar pattern.
We will go during the presentation throw the core concepts behind Istio, the capabilities that provides to manage, secure and observe microservices and how it gives a new breath for both developers and operations.
The presentation will be guided by a sequence of demo exposing Istio capabilities.
This document summarizes how the authors found Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the web applications of 8 out of the top 9 antivirus software vendors. It details each vulnerability found, including the affected subdomain, how the vulnerability was exploited through injection of malicious code, and a rating of severity and difficulty for each finding. It also discusses how each vendor responded after being notified of the vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities allowed execution of arbitrary JavaScript that could potentially steal user credentials or session cookies. Finding viable payloads to trigger alerts was challenging due to various protections and filters in place.
