Stealing_Signatures_and_Making_One_Invalid_Signature_at_a_Time.pdf
485.9 KB
I've noticed during testing against Anti-Virus over the years that each is different and each prioritize PE signatures differently, whether the signature is valid or not. There are some Anti-Virus vendors that give priority to certain certificate authorities without checking that the signature is actually valid, and there are those that just check to see that the certTable is populated with some value

π¦WHAT IS BASHTOP ?
Bashtop should work with most modern Linux distributions with a terminal that supports truecolor.
Because it's written in Bash, installing Bashtop is as easy as downloading the bashtop script from its project page (or from the release archive) and installing it somewhere in your PATH. However, it has several dependencies that you need to make sure they are installed on your system (besides additional dependencies, in most cases others should already be installed):
F E A T U R E S :
1) Bash (it needs version 4.4 or newer, so it won't work, for example, on Ubuntu 16.04 or CentOS 7)
2) Basic GNU utilities
3) GNU Grep
4) ps from procps-ng (version 3.1.15 or newer, usually a
5) package named procps that you already installed)
6) sed
7) awk
8) Optional:
lm-sensors to display the CPU temperature (the package is usually named lm-sensors or lm_sensors; you need to run sensors-detect as root after installation to detect your computer's sensors)
9) curl to display messages about Bashtop updates and the ability to download additional themes (the curl package is available on most, if not all Linux distributions)
10) Easy to use, with a game inspired menu system.
11) Fast and "mostly" responsive UI with UP, DOWN keys process selection.
12) Function for showing detailed stats for selected process.
13) Ability to filter processes.
14) Easy switching between sorting options.
15) Send SIGTERM, SIGKILL, SIGINT to selected process.
17) UI menu for changing all config file options.
18) Auto scaling graph for network usage.
19) Shows message in menu if new version is available
20) Shows current read and write speeds for disks
21) Multiple data collection methods which can be switched if running on Linux
πΈπ½π π π°π»π»πΈπ π°π πΈπΎπ½ & π π π½ :
1) download or clone https://github.com/aristocratos/bashtop
2) If you haven't got python3 installed:

π¦How to set up automatic kernel updates on Linux :
Manual kernel updates require a system reboot. This leads to downtime, which can be problematic, so reboots are usually scheduled at regular intervals. Since manual patching is performed during these cycles, this gives hackers a "time window" in which they can attack the server infrastructure.
1) Canonical Livepatch is a service that fixes a running kernel without rebooting your Ubuntu system. Livepatch is free to use on three Ubuntu systems. To use this service on more than three computers, you need to subscribe to the Ubuntu Advantage program.
2) Before installing the service, you need to get a livepatch token from the Livepatch service website.
3) After installing the token and enabling the service by running the following two commands:
γ°οΈsudo snap install canonical-livepatch
γ°οΈsudo canonical-livepatch enable <your-key>
4) To check the status of the service, run:
γ°οΈsudo canonical-livepatch status --verbose
5) Later, if you want to unregister the machine, use this command:
γ°οΈsudo canonical-livepatch disable <your-key>
6) The same instructions apply for Ubuntu

π¦Signs of being hacked :
1) battery charge. If the battery of the smartphone begins to discharge rapidly, reducing the operating time of the device by several hours during normal use, then most likely this indicates the operation of malicious background applications;
2) The appearance in the general list of application icons of new ones that you have not installed may indicate that the device has been hacked;
3) notifications. Displaying strange messages on the screen with unreadable characters, links or notifications about the execution of a request, if you have not had a hand in this, does not bode well either - for sure hackers already have your data;
4) balance. If your mobile account suffers losses, although you are convinced that you did not call paid numbers, did not order additional services and were not involved in any financial transactions, then we can say with certainty that your gadget has been hacked;
5) malfunctions. Strange signals during a conversation, extraneous noises or even disconnections with a good signal level can also indicate the use of the device's microphone or even listening to conversations;

π¦What is ping monitoring ?
1) Without getting into complex ping monitoring, it refers to the way our devices access the Internet.
2) Basically, when you want to go online, your device (computer, tablet, phone, etc.), known as a client, communicates with another device for information.
3) To make a request for information, your device sends a request (known as a packet) to the server that stores the information. To access a packet, the server needs to know who is requesting it so they can send it back.
4) Packages can be sent in a variety of ways, some of which are faster than others. The one most people are familiar with is HTTP .
5) This way, the server processes your packets and sends them back using the ping command , which tests the connection between the client and the server.

π¦MySQL Security - Generate a random password :
MySQL has the ability to generate random passwords for user accounts, as an alternative to requiring explicit administrator-supplied literal passwords.
The database administrator can use CREATE USER, ALTER USER, or SET PASSWORD to generate random passwords for user accounts.
> Let's take a quick look at using MySQL 8.0
MySQL SQL> SELECT VERSION ();
+ ----------- +
| VERSION () |
+ ----------- +
| 8.0.19 |
+ ----------- +
1) Create user account
To create a new MySQL user account with a random password, use the CREATE USER statement with the IDENTIFIED BY RANDOM PASSWORD clause:
MySQL SQL>
CREATE USER aUser @ localhost IDENTIFIED BY RANDOM PASSWORD;
+ ---------- + ----------- + ---------------------- +
| user | host | generated password |
+ ---------- + ----------- + ---------------------- +
| Stella | localhost | M3BA1Po% as1Kse8Jt! AC |
+ ---------- + ----------- + ---------------------- +
2) Change user account
To assign a new random password for the MySQL user account, use the ALTER USER statement with the IDENTIFIED BY RANDOM PASSWORD clause:
MySQL SQL>
ALTER USER aUser @ localhost IDENTIFIED BY RANDOM PASSWORD;
+ ---------- + ----------- + ---------------------- +
| user | host | generated password |
+ ---------- + ----------- + ---------------------- +
| AndreyEx | localhost | SjAA * @ (LA & fd43IOj> vS |
+ ---------- + ----------- + ---------------------- +
3) Assign a password
Another way to assign a new random password to the MySQL user account is to use the SET PASSWORD statement with the TO RANDOM clause:
MySQL SQL>
4) SET PASSWORD FOR aUser @ localhost TO RANDOM;
+ ---------- + ----------- + ---------------------- +
| user | host | generated password |
+ ---------- + ----------- + ---------------------- +
| Stella | localhost | 7kaJY ^% x1 <b8kT & 84Du, |
+ ---------- + ----------- + ---------------------- +
5) Please note that by default the generated random passwords are 20 characters long.
This length is controlled by the generate_random_password_length system variable, which has a range of 5 to 255.
