Avast 以 MIT License 放出他們的 Decompiler，叫做 RetDec：「Avast open-sources its machine-code decompiler」，專案在 GitHub 上的 avast-tl/retdec 這邊。
Decompiler，也就是直接把 machine code 試著轉回高階語言的程式碼：
這對於分析工作來說簡化很多，尤其是在資安產業的人... 以往比較常見是轉成 assembly 再用人工分析，現在這樣有機會讓大腦輕鬆一些。
雖然目前有些限制 (像是 32 bits only)，不過 open source 出來後，可以預料會有不少人開始加功能進去：
忘記在哪邊看到的，分析 Android APK 檔的軟體：「Droidefense: Advance Android Malware Analysis Framework」。
Droidefense (originally named atom: analysis through observation machine)* is the codename for android apps/malware analysis/reversing tool. It was built focused on security issues and tricks that malware researcher have on they every day work. For those situations on where the malware has anti-analysis routines, Droidefense attemps to bypass them in order to get to the code and 'bad boy' routine. Sometimes those techniques can be virtual machine detection, emulator detection, self certificate checking, pipes detection. tracer pid check, and so on.
Droidefense uses an innovative idea in where the code is not decompiled rather than viewed. This allow us to get the global view of the execution workflow of the code with a 100% accuracy on gathered information. With this situation, Droidefense generates a fancy html report with the results for an easy understanding.
看起來是輔助用的工具... 先記錄下來 XD
看到「OnePlus OxygenOS built-in analytics」這篇，講作者在聽連線時看到 OnePlus OxygenOS 內建的 Malware：
從維基百科上的說明好像不怎麼意外啊：
一加（全稱：深圳市萬普拉斯科技有限公司，英語：OnePlus）是中國一家行動通訊終端裝置研製與軟體開發的企業，於2013年12月7日成立，主要開拓國外市場。
作者一開始看到各種行為，像是 screen_off、screen_on、unlock、abnormal_reboot：

...
],
"it": 0

]
}以及在 app 裡面做了什麼 XDDD (像是 ChromeTabbedActivity start、RecentsActivity stop、WifiSettingsActivity start、Settings start)

}有人提供了移除的方法：
@chrisdcmoore I've read your article about OnePlus Analytics. Actually, you can disable it permanently: pm uninstall -k --user 0 pkg

但你可以不要買這個牌子啊 XDDD
TorrentFreak 的標題不夠精確，不過大概可以看出 Cloudflare 的想法：「Cloudflare Bans Sites For Using Cryptocurrency Miners」。
在沒有告知使用者，以及沒有提供選項關閉的情況下，Cloudflare 認定這是 Malware...
算是為什麼企業要提供 Full Routing VPN 的一個攻擊管道的說明...
這篇介紹了在飯店裡透過 WiFi 攻擊企業的高階主管，想辦法塞木馬取得資訊，或是滲透進企業內部的網路：「Hackers are using hotel Wi-Fi to spy on guests, steal data」。
Those behind the campaign have continually evolved their tactics and malware payloads, blending phishing and social engineering with a complex Trojan, in order to conduct espionage on corporate research and development personnel, CEOs, and other high-ranking corporate officials.
有點介於 APT 與一般性的攻擊中間...
看到「New Fileless Malware Uses DNS Queries To Receive PowerShell Commands」這篇，所以是有人開始這樣惡搞了...
Distributed through an email phishing campaign, the DNSMessenger attack is completely Fileless, as it does not involve writing files to the targeted system; instead, it uses DNS TXT messaging capabilities to fetch malicious PowerShell commands stored remotely as DNS TXT records.
利用 DNS 的穿透力來取得外部資訊...
在「Twitoor First Android Twitter-based Botnet」這邊看到的消息，原報導在「First Twitter-controlled Android botnet discovered」。
相較於 IRC 控制來得難以被偵測。因為 IRC 的特性比較好抓 (無論是 Protocol 或是 IP address)，而 Twitter 卻是一般人就常常會上的網站 (而且是 HTTPS)，暫時沒想到太簡單的方法從網路層面偵測...
其實同樣道理可以用其他大的平台做 (像是 GitHub 也是可能的平台)，不知道網路層上要怎麼防比較有效...
如標題所說的，Reddit 在規劃這些阻擋 Adblock 的網站：「Mod Announcement: We're considering banning all domains that require users to disable ad blockers and we'd like your input」。
這些網站要求使用者將網站列入 Adblock 白名單，然後這些網站就會「不小心」推送 malware 給使用者：
It has come to our attention that many websites such as Forbes and Wired are now requiring users to disable ad blockers to view content. Because Forbes requires users to do this and has then served malware to them we see this as a security risk to you our community. There are also sites such as Wall Street Journal that have implemented pay-walls which we were are also considering banning.
戰爭愈來愈激烈了...
在「Malware scam appears to use GPS data to catch speeding Pennsylvania drivers」這邊看到新的詐騙方式。
手機的 malware app (藏有惡意程式的 app) 會要求 GPS 資料 (現在智慧型手機上 app 的常態)，而當 malware app 偵測到你超速時，詐騙集團就會發出假的超速罰單，像是這樣：
From: Speeding Citation
To: (Accurate Email Removed)
Date: 03/11/2016 03:08 PM
Subject: [External] Notification of excess speed
First Name: (Accurate Name removed)
Last Name: (Accurate Name removed)
Notification of excess speed
Route: (Accurate Local Township Road –removed)
Date: 8 March 2016
Time: 7:55 am
Speed Limit: 40
Detected Speed: 52
The Infraction Statement contains an image of your license plate and the citation which must be paid in 5 working days.
文章提用的標語「ACCURATE SPEEDING DATA, FAKE EMAIL」好讚... XD
看到 Google 推出 BinDiff 時以為是某種對 binary 檔案產生類似 diff 結果的軟體 (像是 bsdiff 這樣的東西)，仔細看才發現是跟資安有關的東西：「BinDiff now available for free」。
可以用在只有 binary 的情況下，快速找出有哪些 assembly code 有差異，進而讓人可以更快的分析。資安分析可以透過這個工具加速。相同的，也可以透過這個工具看出 vendor patch 實際上修了什麼東西：
BinDiff is a comparison tool for binary files that helps to quickly find differences and similarities in disassembled code. It is used by security researchers and engineers across the globe to identify and isolate fixes for vulnerabilities in vendor-supplied patches and to analyze multiple versions of the same binary.
而另外一個用途則是快速分類，把相同的 malware 集合起來，降低重複分析的時間：
Another common use case is to transfer analysis results from one binary to another, helping to prevent duplicate analyses of, for example, malware binaries.
目前支援的 assembly 指令集包括了這些：
Compare binary files for x86, MIPS, ARM/AArch64, PowerPC, and other architectures.
從原始文章可以看到還有 flowchart 分析：
不過這是配合其他 Hex-Rays IDA 的 Professional 版本產生的結果分析，官網報價一套是 USD$1129。
To use it, you also need the commercial Hex-Rays IDA Pro disassembler, 6.8 or later.
