Programming Pitfalls: Cors & Spring Boot

Spring Boot is an offshoot of the popular Spring framework and brings many conveniences from modern non-Java web development frameworks to Spring developers. It’s related to the Spring MVC framework but is more geared toward use in a mircoservices architecture.

• Spring Boot

Takes an opinionated view of building production-ready Spring applications. Spring Boot favors convention over configuration and is designed to get you up and running as quickly as possible.

Your Mac must not have a Core 2 duo or Solo (or older) processor – only the past couple years of Macs, which have 64-bit EFI, are supported.

Dual Boot Arch and Mac OS X

This tutorial is pretty specific to my latest configuration, but it seems like there might be some people out there who could benefit from my experience. If you have a [1] Macbook Pro 8,2 (the 8,3 model should work as well), with [2] two internal hard drives, and want to [3] dual boot OS X and Arch Linux, utilizing [4] whole disk encryption in both systems… you’re in the right place!

There won’t be much explanation here because most of the in depth explanation has already been described in previous posts. They are linked below in case you get lost for reference to provide additional direction in case you get lost.

TimeShift

TimeShift for Linux is a application that provides functionality similar to the System Restore feature in Windows and the Time Machine tool in Mac OS. TimeShift protects your system by taking incremental snapshots of the file system at regular intervals. These snapshots can be restored later to bring your system to the exact state it was in at the time when the snapshot was taken.

Snapshots are taken using rsync and hard-links. Common files are shared between snapshots which saves disk space. Each snapshot is a full system backup that can be browsed with a file manager.

It’s an open-source world: ​78 percent of companies run open-source software

• 78 percent of respondents said their companies run part or all of its operations on OSS and 66 percent said their company creates software for customers built on open source. This statistic has nearly doubled since 2010, when 42 percent of respondents in the Future of Open Source survey five years ago said that they used open source in the running of their business or their IT environments. This is an all-time high.

• 93 percent said their organization’s use of open source increased or remained the same in the past year.

• 64 percent of companies currently participate in open source projects – up from 50 percent in 2014. Over the next 2-3 years, 88 percent are expected to increase contributions to open source projects.

• Open source has become the default approach for software with more than 66 percent of respondents saying they consider OSS before other options.

Chrome Starts Pushing Java off the Web

Chrome 42, released to the stable channel today, will take a big step toward pushing old browser plugins, including Java and Silverlight, off the Web. Those plugins use a 1990s-era API called NPAPI (“Netscape Plugin API”) to extend the browser, and with Chrome 42, that API is now off by default.

ZFS may be officially included in Debian

Libdvdcss and ZFS soon in Debian?

We received legal advice from Software Freedom Law Center about the
inclusion of libdvdcss and ZFS in Debian, which should unblock the
situation in both cases and enable us to ship them in Debian soon.

Researchers find startling lack of security in traffic management systems

• Researchers started investigating the traffic management system (that controls the traffic lights at intersections) in an unnamed city in Michigan
• They found that the system uses IP traffic transmitted over two different wireless protocols, a 5.8ghz line-of-sight protocol (turns out to be very similar to 802.11n) and an over-the-horizon 900mhz protocol
• Traffic over the wireless links is unencrypted, and has no authentication
• While it would have been possible to reverse engineer the custom wireless protocols, to save time the researchers managed to get ahold of one of the radios used by the system instead
• They found that the management system uses VxWorks 5.5, a proprietary RTOS for embedded devices from the 90s
• VxWorks is usually built from source so it can be customized. The vendor, as many do, left the debugging options enabled, this includes an open TCP port that can be used to read and write memory locations, kill running tasks, restart the OS and more
• By using this debugging feature, and capturing network traffic, the researchers were able to reverse engineer the protocol that the controller used to communicate with the traffic signals
• Each command is essentially the same with only the last bit or two being different
• There is no encryption, so anyone can see the commands being sent
• There is no authentication, so the devices will accept commands from anyone, not just the controller
• There are no firewalls, so a malactor on the network can completely take over
• An attacker can trip the failsafe mode, where the traffic lights revert to flashing red in every direction and have to be physically reset by a technician
• An attacker could before a type of denial of service attack, by tripping the traffic lights into this mode at random, and faster than crews could repair the lights
• The biggest problem is the 5.8ghz network, since most all laptops and mobile devices have a radio capable of communicating on that band built in. Someone will undoubtedly take the time to reverse engineer the radio protocol and gain access to the network
• Both the 5.8ghz network (WPA2) and the 900mhz network (WEP or WPA) support encryption, but it is not used
• The traffic management system supports username and password authentication, but the default credentials are used
• The paper was presented at USENIX: WOOT (Workshop on Offensive Technologies)
• PDF: Green Lights Forever: Analyzing the Security of Traffic Infrastructure
• The researchers point out an alarming quote they got from the vendor that sells the traffic management system: The vendor “has followed the accepted industry standard and it is that standard which does not include security.”

Secret Language, or Unlikely Bug?

• “Imagine discovering a secret language spoken only online by a knowledgeable and learned few”
• A researcher who wishes to be identified only as “Kraeh3n” was proofreading a document for a colleague
• The opening part of the document had standard lorem ipsum filler text
• Then the document was pasted into Google Translate, it was auto-detected as latin, and the translation to english was startling, key words included China, NATO, Internet, Business and “the Company” (a euphemism for the CIA)
• Kraeh3n immediately shared the revelation with Michael Shoukry, a researcher as FireEye
• This was later shared with Lance James, head of Cyber Intelligence at Deloitte, who then shared it with Brian Krebs
• Brian’s blog contains a number of screenshots showing different translations
• While Google Translate uses machine learning, and could be tricked by brute force into creating false translations like this, the fact that capitalization affects the translation suggests something more may be at work here
• Brian Krebs then started adding other latin words, specifically from a work by Cicero that spawned Lorem Ipsum in the first place
• Now he had “Russia may be suffering” and “The main focus of China”
• “Translate [is] designed to be able to evolve and to learn from crowd-sourced input to reflect adaptations in language use over time,” Kraeh3n said. “Someone out there learned to game that ability and use an obscure piece of text no one in their right mind would ever type in to create totally random alternate meanings that could, potentially, be used to transmit messages covertly.”
• However, not all of it makes that much sense, none of the translations constructed full sentences
• Sadly, around midnight on August 16th, Google Translate abruptly stopped translating the word “lorem” into anything.
• Google Translate still produces amusing and peculiar results when translating Latin to English in general.
• “A spokesman for Google said the change was made to fix a bug with the Translate algorithm (aligning ‘lorem ipsum’ Latin boilerplate with unrelated English text) rather than a security vulnerability”
• Inside Google Translate
• It is also possible that all of these keywords just came from recent news articles Google had been translating, as much of the current news is about China and the Internet, and Russia and NATO

Computers of Nuclear Regulatory Commission hacked 3 times in 3 years

• According to an inspector general report, two different foreign nationals, and one unidentified individual, have compromised the computer systems of the NRC over the course of last 3 years
• One of the attacks was a phishing attempt, sent from a compromised computer inside the NRC to 215 NRC employees asking them to verify their username and password
• A dozen NRC employees fell for the scam, and delivered their login credentials to a google spreadsheet
• The IG’s office was able to track the google account and found out it belonged to a foreigner
• In another spear phishing attack, emails were sent from outside to specific employees linking them to malware hosted on Microsoft skydrive, that would take over their machine
• “In another case, intruders broke into the personal email account of an NRC employee and sent malware to 16 other personnel in the employee’s contact list. A PDF attachment in the email contained a JavaScript security vulnerability. One of the employees who received the message became infected by opening the attachment”
• Despite the sensationalism of the headline, it does not appear that any type of APT (Advanced Persistent Threat) was detected, but these techniques are how an attacker gets a foothold in the network to set up such an attack
• Infographic: 70% of the worlds critical utilities have been breached

MultiROM Manager – Android Apps on Google Play

**This app only works on Nexus 7 (2012 & 2013), Nexus 4 and Nexus 5, as they are the only devices officially supported by MultiROM.
This application requires root and it is designed to be used by experienced “power users”.

It is strongly recommended to read XDA thread before installing this app, you can find links at the bottom of this description.**

MultiROM Manager can install or update MultiROM, it’s recovery and kernels. It can also install Ubuntu Touch system-image based builds into MultiROM as a secondary ROM.

MultiROM is one-of-a-kind multi-boot mod for Nexus 7 (2012 and 2013) and Nexus 4. It can boot any Android ROM as well as other systems like Ubuntu Touch. Besides booting from device’s internal memory, MultiROM can boot from USB drive connected to the device via OTG cable. The main part of MultiROM is a boot manager, which appears every time your device starts and lets you choose ROM to boot. You can see how it looks on the left image below and in gallery. ROMs are installed and managed via modified TWRP recovery. You can use standard ZIP files to install secondary Android ROMs, daily prebuilt image files to install Ubuntu Touch and MultiROM even has its own installer system, which can be used to ship other Linux-based systems.
