November 21st 2011 - Researchers at Context Information Security are playing down the level of risk to businesses and government organisations posed by BEAST, or Browser Exploit Against SSL/TLS. Recently disclosed by Thai Duong and Juliano Rizzo, the SSL vulnerability allows an attack on a browser to decrypt cookies and compromise HTTPS, giving access to encrypted website log-on credentials. But Context believes that hackers are very unlikely to use this complex attack and also provides some advice on how to further reduce the risks. “In effect, BEAST is simply a practical way to exploit an existing theoretical vulnerability in older versions of TLS/SSL (TLSv1.0, SSLv3.0 and lower), commonly used for HTTPS connections,†said Michael Jordon, research and development manager at Context. “For an attack to be effective, a vulnerable version of SSL using a block cipher must be used; network sniffing of the connection must be possible; and there also has to be a successful Java applet injection into the same origin of the web site.†Developers can already increase the complexity and mitigate the risk of malicious content being injected within the same origin through actions such as setting the HTTPOnly property that prevents applets or JavaScript to gain access to the cookie and prevent session hijacking. Therefore, in terms of risk, the BEAST attack is akin to not setting the HTTPOnly property on cookies that is not unusual among websites. “If people are concerned about the BEAST attack, we suggest they first look to see if their HTTPOnly property is set properly. If it is not, then a BEAST attack would not be needed to deliver the same opportunities to hackers,†says Jordon. The major vendors of both browsers and server-side technologies have also announced that they are working on patches for TLS1.0. Within a controlled environment such as an internal network, it may be possible to upgrade all users and servers to products that support TLS 1.1/1.2. However, this could mean that some users may have difficulties accessing older web servers. There are also a number of other areas in which the use of session hijacking can be reduced or made more complex, including transferrable session prevention; the use of effective logout and session timeout functions; regeneration of a new and unique cookie value per session; and adoption of one-time passwords. “The BEAST vulnerability exists but there are simple steps that developers and security managers can take to mitigate the risks and with the number and complexity of mechanisms needed by an attacker, plus the number of greater value attacks that could take place in the same circumstances, we believe that it is unlikely that BEAST will be seen in the wild,†concludes Jordon.

October 6th 2011 - The Apache Software Foundation yesterday issued an advisory to all of its customers following the identification by researchers at UK-based Context Information Security of a new class of security vulnerability that could allow hackers to gain full internet access to internal or DMZ systems using insecurely configured reverse web proxies. Context alerted Apache to the weakness last month and has today published a blog detailing this new class of attack that it believes is likely to affect other web servers and proxies. The blog also provides advice to mitigate the risks: http://www.contextis.com/research/blog/reverseproxybypass/'>http://www.contextis.com/research/blog/reverseproxybypass/ Reverse proxies are used to route external HTTP and HTTPS web requests to one of several internal web servers to access data and resources. Typical applications include load balancing, separating static from dynamic content, or to present a single interface to a number of different web servers at different paths. While other proxies may suffer from the same vulnerability, the specific attack identified by Context researchers was based on an Apache web server using the mod_rewrite proxy function, which uses a rule-based rewriting engine to modify and rewrite web requests dynamically. When the web proxies had not been configured securely, Context was able to use an easy-to-obtain hacking tool in order to force a change in the request to access internal or DMZ systems, including administration interfaces on firewalls, routers, web servers and databases. And if credentials on internal systems were weak, a full network compromise was possible including uploading Trojan WAR files to a server. The vulnerability can easily be mitigated by checking reverse proxy configurations to ensure that the rewrite rules cannot be abused to allow for the URLs to be rewritten in such a way that they can access internal systems. Context has also released the latest version of its free to download Context Application Tool (CAT) designed to deliver manual web application penetration testing that can be used to identify the vulnerability. The difference between the two rules can be as simple as adding an extra slash, which ensures that Apache does not interpret the domain and port parts of the request as a username and password. For example, if the Apache configuration file is configured like this: RewriteRule ^(.*) http://internalserver:80$1 [P], and not like this: RewriteRule ^(.*) http://internalserver:80/$1 [P], then access from the internet to any internal system is possible. In its advisory to customers, Apache recommends that Apache HTTPD users should examine their configuration files to determine if they have used an insecure configuration for reverse proxying. The full Apache response can be viewed at http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2011/Oct/232 “This latest vulnerability present is a potential back door to sensitive internal or DMZ systems but is totally avoidable if the reverse proxies are properly configured,†said Michael Jordon, Research and Development Manger at Context Information Security. “We have not investigated other web servers and proxies but it is reasonable to assume that the problem is more widespread.†Full details of the reverse proxy bypass vulnerability with link to download the free Context Application Tool are published on the Context web site at http://www.contextis.com/ About Context Context Information Security is an independent security consultancy spe[censored]ing in both technical security and information assurance services.

16 June 2011: Researchers at Context Information Security who exposed security flaws in WebGL last month have identified further concerns about early implementations of the new technology that allows web pages to draw fast 3D graphics to deliver a much richer experience to web users. In one example, a vulnerability in the Mozilla Firefox browser made it possible for malicious web pages to capture any screenshot from a target PC – including the user’s desktop, other web pages or applications. By revealing that none of the current implementations comply with WebGL conformance standards, Context also raises serious questions for Khronos, the consortium which has drawn up the WebGL specification and conformance tests. The findings are published today along with videos in a Context blog at: http://www.contextis.com/webgl/'>http://www.contextis.com/webgl/ Context’s original investigations discovered design level security issues that provide a ‘back-door’ to low-level parts of the operating system via some graphics cards, which were never designed to defend against this type of threat. Following further investigations, Context researchers have discovered that neither Chrome nor Firefox passed the 144 Khronos conformance tests for WebGL, including a number that are directly related to security. “While Mozilla has taken steps to mitigate the original vulnerabilities and will fix this latest threat in the new version of its browser, scheduled for release on 21 June, we believe this is the tip of the iceberg for the difficult adoption of this immature technology, leaving users vulnerable,†says Michael Jordon, Research and Development Manager at Context. “The fact that security-related Khronos conformance tests are not clearly identified has been a contributory factor in security issues being missed by developers of the current browser implementations of WebGL,†adds Jordon. “It would be unreasonable to expect full conformance to the complete specification of any new standard but some areas of WebGL need to be carefully implemented to prevent security issues arising. Browser developers should now start banning non-conformant configurations as they are identified until the security issues that have been highlighted are resolved.†Context’s research also found that Khronos’ recommended defence against the Denial of Service issue, WebGL_ARB_robustness, is not fit for purpose. It is only supported by certain chipsets and operating systems such as NVidia on Windows and Linux, and the extension only offers mitigation and not a comprehensive solution to WebGLDoS issues. The risks from WebGL depend on the web browser, operating system and graphics card being used. WebGL is currently supported only on Firefox and Chrome and currently users of Internet Explorer, Safari or Opera are not vulnerable to WebGL issues. “We would advise anyone at risk to disable WebGL until the security vulnerabilities have been addressed,†added Jordon. “We have been working with developers of the Firefox plug-in NoScript (http://noscript.net/) to include support to selectively disable WebGL and would recommend this plug-in to protect users from malicious Internet content.†The full Context blog including two videos can be seen at: http://www.contextis.com/webgl/ About Context Context Information Security is an independent security consultancy spe[censored]ing in both technical security and information assurance services.

May 11th 2011 - Mobile app developer network openMIC – the Mobile Innovation Camp – will be running its next barcamp on Gamification on Thursday 19th May 2011 in Dundee, Scotland. Confirmed speakers include: - Greg Merten, Head of Developer Relations at Nokia; - Bill Ray of The Register, Kate Ho, MD of Interface3, - Simone O’Callaghan of the University of Dundee and - KatjaHaferburg of the University of Bath’s Centre for Digital Entertainment. The event will be chaired by Chris Book, @bookmeister. “When Apple released its league table of the best-selling iPhone apps from its first 10 billion downloads earlier this year, 8 out of 10 were games. Clearly games on mobile make money,†said Simon Bond of openMIC. “However game play techniques could turn out to be too important to be left only for play time. The growing buzz around gamification - using game-like mechanics for non-game applications – is catching the interest of investors, starts-ups, corporates and analysts. We’re delighted to bring the openMICbarcamp formula to Dundee, the ‘Capital of games’, and look forward to discussing how mobile app developers can tap into the Gamification opportunity.†Examples of gamification include the Department for Work and Pensions’ innovation game, ‘Idea Street’, which was used to generate ideas from its 120,000 staff and featured game mechanics, including points, leader boards and a buzz index. Other gamification advocates include U.S. military with its ‘America’s Army’ recruiting video game and the World Bank which sponsored ‘Evoke’, a game which crowdsources ideas from players globally to solve social challenges. Delegates can sign up for this openMIC event for free thanks to sponsorships from the ICT Knowledge Transfer Network and Nokia.

9 May 2011: Researchers at Context Information Security, an international security consultancy, have uncovered serious security flaws in the new WebGL technology that creates 3D graphics in a browser with the same speed and detail as hardware-accelerated PC games and applications. Context says that design level security issues give potentially malicious web pages low level access to graphics cards that could provide a ‘back door’ for hackers and compromise data stored on internet-connected machines. WebGL is currently supported on Linux, OSX and Windows operating systems, using Firefox 4, Safari and Google Chrome browsers. In addition to desktops and notebooks, WebGL is also being adopted for use in other devices including smart phones and is rapidly increasing in popularity. “The risks stem from the fact that most graphics cards and drivers have not been written with security in mind so that the interface (API) they expose assumes that the applications are trusted,†says Michael Jordon, Research and Development Manager at Context. “While this may be true for local applications, the use of WebGL-enabled browser-based applications with certain graphics cards now poses serious threats from breaking the cross domain security principle to denial of service attacks, potentially leading to full exploitation of a user’s machine.†“We think it is important to raise awareness of this issue before WebGL becomes more widely adopted because this is not an implementation problem, but is down largely to the WebGL specification, which is inherently insecure,†adds Jordon. “In the short term, individual end users or IT departments can avoid potential problems by simply disabling WebGL within their browsers; but the only long term solution is for the developers of WebGL itself to ensure that the specification is designed and tested to prevent these types of risks.†WebGL 1.0 was officially released in March this year by The Khronos Group, a non-profit consortium of companies including Google, Apple, Intel and Mozilla working to create open standard APIs to display digital interactive media across all platforms and devices. It is essentially a graphics library that extends the functionality of JavaScript to allow it to create interactive 3D graphics within a browser without using plug-ins. For more information on the security implications of the emerging WebGL technology, Context has today (9 May 2011) published a blog detailing the design level security issues within WebGL along with some examples of proof of concepts. http://www.contextis.com/resources/blog/webgl/ About Context Context Information Security is an independent security consultancy spe[censored]ing in both technical security and information assurance services.

November 10th 2010- NoMachine, creator and global provider of secure remote access, desktop and application delivery software, is partnering with NoPC to assist in making computing resources available to schools in Grenada. NoMachine's NX is the key connection technology providing students and teachers with access to a desktop, Web browser, e-mail and other important applications stored on the data center in St. George. Using NX technology, like in Tanzania, NoPC has provided inadequately funded schools in Grenada with computing capabilities that they normally couldn't even imagine. Using NoPC thin client terminals in the classroom as PC substitutions creates the energy and cost-efficient solution required and reduces the need for maintenance, support and upgrades. High failure components are eliminated and five workstations use under 100 watts. Similarly to the Tanzania project, NX provides access to the computing resources stored on the data center, but in Grenada instead of using the mobile network, due to poor coverage, to make the connection, they use broadband which is essentially transmitted via a copper wire. NX is especially beneficial in this environment permitting access even over limited bandwidth with unique compression and caching features. With NX providing remote access, students and teachers in Grenada now have access to Edubuntu desktops running on Linux and programs that serve as educational tools that allow for collaboration with other schools around the world and provide new resources for studying and communicating. This was the second computing solution NoPC provided to a developing area, the first being to Tanzania in East Africa. NoPC aims to increase and improve the access and quality of education in the developing world by making computing resources available to them. Using thin clients and NX to remotely access the desktop and applications in the data center makes this solution possible for them, keeping energy and hardware costs to a minimum. NoPC hopes to provide this solution with the help of NoMachine and other partners to a growing number of developing areas around the world. Striving to increase student attendance and classroom engagement, each school is offered Edubuntu, an Open Source software package specifically designed for the classroom. Given their own username and password, students are encouraged to use these computers and all the new resources they provide to support their studies. Teachers also have access to critical information and can continue professional development through online resources. NoPC believes the challenges the lack of resources creates for these areas can be overcome through the effective use of technology. NoMachine NX is a vital part of the solution providing students and teachers with desktop and application delivery from the back end servers in the data center giving them access to a whole new world of educational tools and resources.

The introduction of a marketing pressure management tool, a fully-fledged eForm module and many customer-centric innovations reinforce the relevance of interactions and enable a global view of the customer journey for better conversion and customer engagement. Selligent Interactive Marketing is an online trigger-based and scenario-driven cross-channel marketing tool that consolidates all interactive touch points with customers and prospects, analyzes the data resulting from these interactions and enables improved, automated and intelligent future digital communications. These are not only based on contact history but also on predefined scenarios, based on customer data and behaviour, whereby each scenario triggers a series of cross-channel dialogues. Scenarios can include demographic triggers, such as the birthday of the customer, and behavioural triggers such as the interaction with an e-mail, filling in an online form, carrying out a process or purchasing a product. Since all the interactions are measured and can be integrated with CRM solutions (and in particular with Selligent Relationship Management), marketers dispose of data-driven ways to improve the conversion of every aspect of their customer interactions and calculate the ROI of each individual contact moment and marketing programme. With Selligent Interactive Marketing, Selligent introduces a wide range of new and enhanced features like the one enabling to fine-tune the relevance of interactions with customers and prospects according to their needs, interests and preferences. This way, marketers can manage marketing fatigue and information overload and improve the interaction experience of their segments and recipients individually. Optimize the efficiency, coordination and frequency of your marketing messages and avoid marketing fatigue One of the main novelties answering the request of Selligent’s customers is the introduction of a marketing pressure management tool. Managing marketing fatigue has become a real challenge in businesses that have frequent interactions with their consumers or customers across online and offline channels (especially those businesses with a strong focus on e-mail marketing activities). It is also true when several departments or marketing divisions regularly communicate with overlapping target groups (think of regular e-mailings, product-related promotions, event invitations, etc.) Communicating too much and interacting via various channels or for different marketing purposes can lead to disgruntled customers, unsubscriptions and spam complaints: to keep it short, it can lead to marketing fatigue. Consequently, businesses can lose both their reputation and negatively influence interaction with customers, consumers or prospects. To help marketers avoid marketing fatigue and fine-tune their interactions automatically and in real time, Selligent introduces a unique marketing pressure management tool that offers an easy-to-use solution to this complicated challenge. The Marketing Pressure feature enables marketers to set a wide variety of rules on different levels regarding outbound communication: frequency, timeframe, channels, target group and priority. Marketers dispose of a dashboard that shows possible clashes between different campaigns, allows to set priorities in launching marketing programs and eventually solves the marketing fatigue issue. Marketers can thus focus on creating relevant content and compelling interactions as well as testing, planning and optimizing their customer contact moments. Have an holistic view on the customer lifecycle and maximize conversion A second important innovation that is introduced with the major release of Selligent Interactive Marketing is the eForm module. It is a fully-fledged online forms and page flow engine that contains advanced functionality to automatically manage subscription processes, gather customer data, set up surveys, automate the subscription process,... all this within a consistent and user-friendly interface. eForm enables businesses to follow and track customers and prospects online through the whole sales funnel and lead management process. Doing this, marketers can adapt their interactions with customers and prospects in function of the phase of their buying journey and activate and engage leads that came to a stop in the conversion process. eForm comes with a user-friendly interface, a rich set of question types, form components and controls, and a wide range of actions that can be predefined when people interact with forms, making it easy for non-technical users to integrate their online forms into their inbound marketing investments.

June 18 2010 - The PDF/A Competence Center is organising its fourth international PDF/A conference this year from September 29th to October 1st, 2010 in Rome. It offers technical presentations by international experts, tracks for various PDF/A topics and areas of interest as well as workshops for practical applications of PDF/A for those new to the subject as well as experienced participants. Users from corporations and public institutions will report their experiences with PDF/A. The conference includes an exhibition at which products for PDF/A conversion and archiving are presented. The conference fee is € 890 plus VAT, with an early bird rate of € 750 plus VAT available until June 30th. Workshops can be booked separately or together with the conference. Further information and registration is available at www.pdfa.org. Participants at the 4th International PDF/A Conference can once again expect a multifaceted programme offering insights into many different theoretical and practical aspects of PDF/A. The agenda includes three parallel tracks offering lectures to introduce the concepts of PDF/A as well as presentations of spe[censored]t expertise. This year's keynote speakers are Betsy Fanning, Director of Standards for AIIM, Giovanni Battista Colombo, Vice President of Assografici and President of Gruppo Stampa Digitale, and Stephen Levenson of the U.S. District Courts and head of the ISO PDF/A committee. “We’ve invited speakers from many countries and expect conference attendees from throughout the world,†said Harald Grumser, CEO of the PDF/A Competence Center. “That means that there will be particularly promising opportunities for networking at an attractive location in the heart of Rome. This historic environment is an appropriate backdrop for our international presentation of long-term archiving with PDF/A.†Pre-conference workshops offer practical insights. The first day of the event - Wednesday, September 29th - is dedicated to workshops in which experts will present special topics covering many practical aspects of PDF/A, such as converting scanned or electronically generated documents to PDF/A, handling metadata, and electronic signatures in PDF/A. Participants will benefit from small groups with many opportunities for discussion. Parallel tracks enable individualised information gathering. On Thursday, September 30th, conference participants can choose between a presentation track designed for those new to PDF/A, a second track covering legal topics and compliance or a third focusing on access options and metadata. The preceding keynote lectures are by Giovanni Battista Colombo, who will give an introduction to the situation with PDF/A in Italy, and Stephen Levenson, who will speak from the perspective of a user in the US. The next morning focuses on particular sectors. Track 1 covers the PDF/A requirements for archivists and librarians, Track B discusses the needs of public agencies and Track C explains the use of PDF/A in B2C operations such as banks, insurance companies or telecommunications service providers. Various user reports in the three tracks will provide particular clarity for the possibilities. Friday afternoon is dedicated to the use of PDF/A in public agencies. One good example will be given by Infocamere, the IT partner of the Italian Chamber of Commerce. The presentation will demonstrate the use of PDF/A for digital transmission of company forms to the Chamber of Commerce. The Italian distributor Technosolutions srl will give a provider’s view of introducing PDF/A for public authorities. The conference will conclude with a panel discussion moderated by Johannes Hesel and Olaf Druemmer, both management board members of the PDF/A Competence Center. An exhibition will take place throughout the conference in which members of the PDF/A Competence Center will present their current products and solutions. About PDF/A The ISO 19005 standard (PDF/A) defines requirements for creating documents suitable for archiving based on the widely available PDF format. The standard specifies in detail what content is allowed and what is not. These and other specifications are intended to ensure long-term readability of the documents regardless of the application software and operating system in which they were originally produced. The advantages of PDF/A such as full-text search capabilities have led it to already replace TIFF as the preferred archiving format in numerous international governmental organizations as well as in private industries. About the PDF/A Competence Center The PDF/A Competence Center was established as an international association in 2006. The objective of the association is to promote the exchange of information and experience in the field of long-term archiving in accordance with ISO 19005 (PDF/A). The management board is composed of executives from callas software GmbH, Compart AG, intarsys consulting GmbH, LuraTech Europe GmbH, PDF Tools AG (CH), PDFlib GmbH and SEAL Systems AG. Within less than three years, more than 100 companies and various experts from about 20 countries have joined the PDF/A Competence Center. The executive chairman is Harald Grumser, CEO of Compart AG, Dr. Hans Baerfuss, CEO of PDF Tools AG, Switzerland, is the executive vice-chairman.
