Attack Description

Once a trojanised attachment is opened, the remote attacker may use it as a launchpad to gain full control of the user’s machine. A compromise poses a threat to the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data stored on the computer and its associated networks. It could also be used to launch attacks against other networks.

Files used by the attackers are often publicly available on the Web or have been sent to distribution lists. The attackers are able to receive, trojanise and resend a document within 120 minutes of its release, indicating a high level of sophistication.

The trojanised files can be common types such as databases, documents, executables (.exe) and help files (.chm) and are often compressed (.zip or .rar). The files exploit known software vulnerabilities to install a trojan on the user’s computer.

Introduction

Homeowners insurance protects you from financial losses caused by storms, fire, theft, and other events outlined in the policy. South Carolina law does not require you to purchase homeowners insurance, but your lender may require you to have insurance if you are financing your home.

Understanding Rates

Insurance companies base your premium on factors such as the replacement cost of your home, its construction materials, the area where you live, your claims history, your credit score, and local fire protection class code.

Chapter 1 – Introduction to Objects

OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING (OOP) represents an attempt to make programs more closely model the way people think about and deal with the world. In the older styles of programming, a programmer who is faced with some problem must identify a computing task that needs to be performed in order to solve the problem. Programming then consists of finding a sequence of instructions that will accomplish that task. But at the heart of object-oriented programming, instead of tasks we find objects – entities that have behaviors, that hold information, and that can interact with one another. Programming consists of designing a set of objects that model the problem at hand. Software objects in the program can represent real or abstract entities in the problem domain. This is supposed to make the design of the program more natural and hence easier to get right and easier to understand.

Skygrabber, a satellite information downloading program, has enjoyed a spike in popularity due to recent news that it has been used to access information from U.S. military planes in Iraq.

Skygrabber is a low-priced computer program used to gain free data from satellite signals without using an Internet connection. There has been a recent concern that the military opposition in Iraq may have used this technology to monitor information from U.S. Predator drones.

The Iraqi opposition has allegedly found a way to access live video feed from the drones used to fly the plane with Skygrabber.

The U.S. Predator drones have had a positive response in combat with their most unique feature being remote control operation. With no direct threat to pilots’s lives in battle, and the use of remote signals to dictate their coordinates from afar, the drones have been used frequently in Iraq. The Iraqi opposition has allegedly found a way to access live video feed from the drones used to fly the plane with Skygrabber.

This chapter discusses the process of setting up and starting the ION Daemon after it has been installed, and discusses strategies for locating your HTML and Java class files. The following topics are covered:

• Configuring ION Java for Windows
• Configuring ION Java for UNIX
• Configuring The ION HTTP Tunnel Broker
• Command Security

Starting and Configuring the ION Daemon

The ION Daemon is a process that listens to a specified socket port, waiting for a communication request. Once a connection is received and verified, the daemon starts up an ION Server process, connects the client to the server process and waits for further connection requests.

If you have client applets located behind a firewall, which attempt and fail to communicate with an ION Server on the other side of a firewall, you will need to start and configure the ION Tunnel Broker in addition to the ION Daemon. See “Configuring The ION HTTP Tunnel Broker” on page 29 for more information.
