I did this test, which simulates an unknown Trojan attack on a windoze
computer. The program successfully bypasses my beloved (and well configured) Kerio firewall. It also evades my universities hardware firewall, which is configured very well (the admins are the block all apart from port 80 type Check out PCAudit from http://www.pcinternetpatrol.com/page/view/49 The program works by causing applications that have the privileges to connect to the internet to upload data to their server. I thought I would be safe because I configure kerio so it only permits outbound connections to IP addresses of the resources that I connect to, for example smtpserver:25, nntpserver:119, pop3server:110 and proxy:8080 PCAudit appears to scan its way out. Even when I click deny it gets through! The company behind PCAudit have publicised a vulnerability that affects almost all firewalls. Their PCAudit program could easily be reverse engineered by crackers, and then a real and more malicious Trojan could be produced that bypasses almost all firewalls. What do you guys think of this? Did you pass the test (without unplugging your internet wire/blocking all traffic Lol)? spamme2@mailinator.com |
