How you respond to any incident can have a dramatic effect on the overall outcome and its potential on going impact. Over this two-part series Foregenix will look to answer the question – “How well will you respond when it really matters?” covering Incident Response and the often-overlooked gap that is ‘Intrusion detection’ or as we like to call it ‘Incident Readiness.’
Historically, customers have used penetration testing to test the security of their infrastructure from an external or internal perspective. For a long time, this has been the ‘de facto’ standard to test for security vulnerabilities. However, we (penetration testers), have been aware for quite some time that this is not the full story.
To defend against most online threats, you need to invest heavily in third party software to keep your eCommerce environment on lock down. You can have the best security systems in the world, but one well placed social engineering attack can undo all of your hard work and render your investment useless. Being aware of what social engineering is and the potential impact it can have on your business is critical to keeping your customers safe.
NfSen is an open source netflow data capture and analysis module which can be used as a standalone product, and is also integrated into AlienVault’s USM/OSSIM security monitoring software.
During a penetration testing engagement for one of our clients, Foregenix discovered a zero-day vulnerability in NfSen. The zero-day allowed remote code execution as root, resulting in a total server compromise.
The Foregenix Digital Forensics and Incident Response Team recently reported a man-in-the-middle attack that we had seen executed against an iFrame redirected payment method. The attack specifically targeted the iFrame of a popular UK Payment Service Provider (PSP). We have received numerous requests for more detailed information around how the attack was orchestrated – principally as outsourced payment models were considered largely secure – and in that light we present the details of how the attack was accomplished.
