Hey, I'm releasing this new paper, not big deal but interesting.
http://www.argeniss.com/research/Data0.pdf
Abstract:
This paper it's about Data0, a fictitious (or not) simple PoC of new malware
that after it's
deployed on a computer in an internal network it will automatically hack
database servers and
steal their data. Several techniques used by Data0 will be detailed. Data0 will
be targeting
Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle Database Server two of the most used database
servers.
While Data0 could be used by the bad guys for evil purposes, it could also be
used by security
professionals and organizations to determine how strong networks, workstations,
database
servers, etc. are against this kind of attack.
This paper is not intended to be a cook book for cyber criminals, it's intended
to show people
that by implementing simple techniques malware can become “smarter” and cause a
lot more
damage in a very near future.
Cesar.
