WikiLeaks e DLP

Hey people, whuddup!

Acho que a necessidade e a importância das soluções de DLP (Proteção de Dados Confidências) estão mais claras do nunca. Antes das divulgações do WikiLeaks, por mais que este tema chamasse a atenção dos tomadores de decisão e até mesmo fizesse "brilhar os olhos" dos ouvintes nas palestras que ministrei a respeito deste tema, as aquisições sempre foram muito tímidas. Por algum motivo as soluções de DLP não são muito contempladas no budget disponível para investimento em segurança da informação. Já neste momento em que os EUA estão se vendo na situação de fazer "damage control" e arcar com os sérios prejuízos causados pela publicação dos documentos secretos (http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/mundo/839099-departamento-de-estado-dos-eua-se-contradiz-ao-comentar-reflexos-do-wikileaks.shtml), fica explícito que a necessidade de DLP precisa ser encarada.

Quando a gente fala de solução de DLP não estamos falando somente de tecnologia e esse é o legal. O processo de implementação com sucesso de uma solução de DLP não envolve meramente ajustes de parâmetros, mas, acima de tudo, reavaliação e redesenho de processos internos. Para que a solução funcione bem tecnologicamente é necessário antes identificar e classificar os dados confidenciais da minha empresa e o legal é que, ao final de todo esse processo, a minha empresa vai estar naturalmente alguns degraus acima. O prêmio: matenção do meu potencial competitivo e proteção da integridade e confiabilidade da minha marca e do serviço que eu entrego.

Abraços.

Making Sense of Intel and McAfee

What this acquisition is and is not

By joltsik on Mon, 08/23/10 - 10:01am.

DiggIt's been a few days since Intel's surprising McAfee acquisition announcement. This weekend I took time to read what others were saying about the merger and there seems to be a lot of posturing and confusion out there. Here is a short list of some of the misconceptions:

1. Intel is buying McAfee for mobile security. This may have stragtegic merit but mobile security can't possibly be a major motivation. Why? The whole mobile security market is extremely fragmented and worth a few $100 million today. McAfee recently acquired its way into mobile security so internal efforts are a work-in-progress. Rather than spend $7.7 billion on McAfee, Intel could have grabbed a vendor like Good Technology or Mobile Active Defense for a fraction of what it paid for McAfee. By comparison, Juniper just picked up SMobile for $70 million.

2. Intel will bundle McAfee security functionality into vPro. Intel vPro has some security functionality for cryptography and secure communications but nothing else. Why not integrate McAfee desktop security and even Safeboot encryption? Intel actually tried this for years with lots of partners and then buried the effort as if it never happened. I have to imagine that development was too difficult and too costly to proceed. I don't think the McAfee acquisition changes anything.

3. Intel wants to create hardware/software bundles for consumers. Some people think this will center around distribution alone while others believe that Intel will create a vPro-like chip for consumer PCs. Neither of these things will happen. Consumer vPro won't happen because it is too hard to do. Bundling won't happen because of anti-trust. If bundling was possible, Microsoft would have done it 2 years ago.

Many of the smartest financial and industry analysts can't make heads or tails out of this deal and I can understand their confusion. There really are no obvious synergies between the two technologies. Nevertheless, I believe that the security market is in transition where new products will need a whole new level of scale, intelligence, integration, and enterprise-class sophistication. The "new" security market will start abruptly and grow to over $1 billion extremely quickly. Intel wants a piece of this transition as well as portfolio diversification. It's that simple.

Em decisão judicial o US Copyright Office declara que fazer o jailbreak do Iphone NÃO é uma prática ilegal.

Apple loses bid to criminalize iPhone jailbreaking

Federal ruling says jailbreaking 'innocuous at worst, beneficial at best'

By Gregg Keizer

July 26, 2010 04:02 PM ET

Computerworld - Apple lost its bid today to criminalize "jailbreaking," the practice of hacking an iPhone to install unauthorized apps on the smartphone, according to a decision by the U.S. Copyright Office and the Library of Congress.

The decision, which was announced Monday by Librarian of Congress James Billington, adds jailbreaking to the list of practices that do not violate the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

"When one jailbreaks a smartphone in order to make the operating system on that phone interoperable with an independently created application that has not been approved by the maker of the smartphone or the maker of its operating system, the modifications that are made purely for the purpose of such interoperability are fair uses," Marybeth Peters, Register of Copyrights, wrote in the ruling approved by Billington (download PDF).

Peters also blasted Apple's 2009 contention that hacking the iPhone was a violation of U.S. copyright law because the practice relied on pirated copies of the smartphone's bootloader and operating system.

"Apple's objections to the installation and use of unapproved applications appears to have nothing to do with its interests as the owner of copyrights in the computer programs embodied in the iPhone, and running the unapproved applications has no adverse effect on those interests," she wrote in her ruling. "Rather, Apple's objections relate to its interests as a manufacturer and distributor of a device, the iPhone."

She also called jailbreaking "innocuous at worst and beneficial at best."

Apple submitted comments to the Copyright Office in February 2009 after the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) asked for a DMCA exemption in 2008 for cell phone jailbreaking. The EFF, and technology companies that supported it, includingFirefox maker Mozilla, wanted the Copyright Office to allow users to install applications not available through Apple's App Store without fear of copyright infringement penalties.

The DMCA and Apple's argument were among the reasons why Mozilla and Norway-based Opera Software declined to create iPhone versions of their Firefox and Opera browsers.

Opera later released Opera Mini, a proxy-based program, for the iPhone. Although Mozilla is actively working on mobile editions of Firefox, it said it would not develop a version for the iPhone. Instead, it recently shipped Firefox Home, a spin-off of the bookmark and tab synchronization technology it currently offers as an add-on to the desktop browser.

The EFF applauded the decision to de-criminalize iPhone jailbreaking.

"Copyright law has long held that making programs interoperable is fair use," said Corynne McSherry, EFF's senior staff attorney, in a statement Monday. "It's gratifying that the Copyright Office acknowledges this right and agrees that the anticircumvention laws should not interfere with interoperability."

Today's ruling also gave a limited green light to security researchers investigating vulnerabilities in computer and videogame console software that are defended by technology copy-protection schemes.

"The socially productive purpose of investigating computer security and informing the public do not involve use of the creative aspects of the work and are unlikely to have an adverse effect on the market for or value of the copyrighted work itself," Peters ruled.

Peters asked for and received confirmation from Billington that a special class be protected against DMCA prosecution. "The Register recommends that the Librarian designate a class of video games protected by access controls, when circumvention is done for the purpose of good faith testing for, investigating, or correcting security flaws or vulnerabilities," Peters said.

Apple did not reply to a request seeking comment on the Copyright Office's ruling.

Is IT dead?

http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9178299/Is_IT_dead_?taxonomyId=14&pageNumber=1

The cloud is only part of the problem

By Preston Gralla

June 20, 2010 09:49 PM ET

Computerworld - The latest news from HP should be chilling to IT employees: The company is eliminating 9,000 IT positions. James Staten, an analyst at Forrester Research Inc., told Computerworld that it's probable that IT operations jobs such as systems administrators will bear the brunt of the layoffs.

For anyone who's been paying attention to the news lately or the arc of technology, this should come as no surprise. Cloud computing has already passed from the realm of hype to having a significant impact on businesses. And outsourcing infrastructure and IT has become a way of life at many enterprises.

Does that mean that it's time for Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings to update their old hit and sing instead, "Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be IT staff"? Is IT in the enterprise dying? It's not as far-fetched as you might think.

Imagine, for a moment, that a company is starting a business today. It has a choice about how to handle its computer infrastructure. It can build a network, install countless servers and many applications, pay a big staff to maintain and update all of them, and be responsible for uptime 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Or it can instead outsource much of its network and applications -- or perhaps have them live in the cloud -- and have some other company take care of its data center, applications -- and headaches.

For a small company, the choice is an easy one: Pay for virtual IT, not on-site staff. Increasingly, small companies are turning to cloud computing and similar services rather than deploying their own infrastructure with an IT staff. Of course, large enterprises don't start from scratch, and they can't outsource that easily. But they are outsourcing more and more. And as for those start-ups, some eventually grow into large companies. If they're hooked on virtual IT from the beginning, they're not likely to need a sizable IT staff once they grow.

There are other reasons that IT in enterprises is in trouble. Even companies that don't move toward the cloud need less infrastructure these days than they did in the past. Virtualization and blade servers allow companies to consolidate data centers, requiring fewer IT staff to provide the same amount of services as previously -- or even provide more services than previously. In addition, automated management tools increase IT productivity, allowing companies to do more with less as well.

All this sounds very bleak. The truth is, though, that IT isn't going away any time soon, or possibly ever. But IT does need to recognize that its job is changing very quickly -- and for IT staff members, it's either change or die.

What is IT's new job? Providing services to make the business run more effectively, rather than maintaining hardware and software.

That means that IT staff may no longer be in charge of an enterprise's plumbing. But it will be in charge of something far more important -- matching a company's business needs to its technology needs, and finding and implementing the right solution, even if someone else does the implementing. Business smarts may ultimately become as important as tech smarts.

Manesh Patel, CEO of San Jose-based electronics manufacturer Sanmina-SCI, put it succinctly to Computerworld when he explained, "IT is becoming more of a service-oriented organization, providing more value-added services, with less emphasis on [maintaining in-house] systems, networks and architectures."

And what's happening at HP is a perfect example as well. Although the company is laying off 9,000 IT staff, it will also be hiring 6,000 new employees. HP is looking for people who can sell and deliver IT services.

What does this mean to you? If you're in IT, it's time to learn new skills -- less about the network and applications, and more about how they can be used to run a business more effectively.

TJX Hacker Gets 20 Years in Prison

• By Kim Zetter

• Categories: Breaches, Crime, Hacks and Cracks

BOSTON — Convicted TJX hacker Albert Gonzalez was sentenced to 20 years in prison on Thursday for leading a gang of cyberthieves who stole more than 90 million credit and debit card numbers from TJX and other retailers.

The sentence for the largest computer-crime case ever prosecuted is the lengthiest ever imposed in the United States for hacking or identity-theft. Gonzalez was also fined $25,000. Restitution, which will likely be in the tens of millions, was not decided Thursday.

Clean-cut, wearing a beige jail uniform and wireframe glasses, the 28-year-old Gonzalez sat motionless at his chair during Thursday’s proceedings, his hands folded in front of him.

Before the sentence was pronounced, Gonzalez told the court he deeply regrets his crimes, and is remorseful for having taken advantage of the personal relationships he’d forged. “Particularly one I had with a certain government agency … that gave me a second chance in life,” said the hacker, who had worked as a paid informant for the Secret Service. “I blame nobody but myself.”

“I violated the sanctity of my parents’ home by using it to stash illegal proceeds,” said Gonzalez. He asked for a lower sentence “so I can one day prove to [my family] that I love them as much as they love me.”

The hacker’s voice cracked and his gaze drifted to the floor as he finished his statement. His father, mother and sister sat in the front row of the gallery; Gonzalez’s father’s eyes reddened and he held a tissue to his face.

Gonzalez, who once dubbed his criminal enterprise “Operation Get Rich or Die Tryin’,” had argued in court filings that his only motive was technical curiosity and an obsession with conquering computer networks. But chat logs the government obtained showed Gonzalez confiding in one of his accomplices that his goal was to earn $15 million from his schemes, buy a yacht and then retire.

The hacker had faced a sentence of between 15 and 25 years for the TJX string of intrusions. The government sought the maximum, while Gonzalez sought the minimum, on grounds that he suffered from Asperger’s disorder and computer addiction, and that he cooperated with the government extensively against his U.S. co-conspirators and two Eastern European hackers (known only as “Grigg” and “Annex”). Gonzalez even provided the government with information about breaches that had not yet been detected.

A psychiatrist who examined Gonzalez for prosecutors, however, found no evidence of Asperger’s disorder or computer addiction. At Thursday’s hearing, assistant U.S. attorney Stephen Heymann urged the court to hand down a 25-year sentence that would strongly deter future Albert Gonzalezes from a life of cybercrime.

Gonzalez “conned law enforcement once before with the idea that he had seen the error of his ways,” said Heymann. “What matters is that teenagers and young people not look up to him.”

Defense attorney Martin Weinberg argued the minimum 15-year sentence would be sufficient to set an example. “That’s an enormous, devastating sentence … and a compelling and clear message to anyone looking at this case that they would suffer what he has suffered.”

In splitting the difference, U.S. District Judge Patti Saris credited Gonzalez for his apparent remorse, and his bond with his family. But Saris said she was disturbed by the fact that he committed his crimes while working for the government. She explained the low $25,000 fine by predicting her restitution order, to be set at a future hearing, will be sizable.

“You’re never possibly going to be paying back all the restitution that’s going to be ordered,” said Saris.

Hacker Disables More Than 100 Cars Remotely

• By Kevin Poulsen

• Categories: Breaches, Crime, Cybersecurity, Hacks and Cracks

More than 100 drivers in Austin, Texas found their cars disabled or the horns honking out of control, after an intruder ran amok in a web-based vehicle-immobilization system normally used to get the attention of consumers delinquent in their auto payments.

Police with Austin’s High Tech Crime Unit on Wednesday arrested 20-year-old Omar Ramos-Lopez, a former Texas Auto Center employee who was laid off last month, and allegedly sought revenge by bricking the cars sold from the dealership’s four Austin-area lots.

“We initially dismissed it as mechanical failure,” says Texas Auto Center manager Martin Garcia. “We started having a rash of up to a hundred customers at one time complaining. Some customers complained of the horns going off in the middle of the night. The only option they had was to remove the battery.”

The dealership used a system called Webtech Plus as an alternative to repossessing vehicles that haven’t been paid for. Operated by Cleveland-based Pay Technologies, the system lets car dealers install a small black box under vehicle dashboards that responds to commands issued through a central website, and relayed over a wireless pager network. The dealer can disable a car’s ignition system, or trigger the horn to begin honking, as a reminder that a payment is due. The system will not stop a running vehicle.

Texas Auto Center began fielding complaints from baffled customers the last week in February, many of whom wound up missing work, calling tow trucks or disconnecting their batteries to stop the honking. The troubles stopped five days later, when Texas Auto Center reset the Webtech Plus passwords for all its employee accounts, says Garcia. Then police obtained access logs from Pay Technologies, and traced the saboteur’s IP address to Ramos-Lopez’s AT&T internet service, according to a police affidavit filed in the case.

Ramos-Lopez’s account had been closed when he was terminated from Texas Auto Center in a workforce reduction last month, but he allegedly got in through another employee’s account, Garcia says. At first, the intruder targeted vehicles by searching on the names of specific customers. Then he discovered he could pull up a database of all 1,100 Auto Center customers whose cars were equipped with the device. He started going down the list in alphabetical order, vandalizing the records, disabling the cars and setting off the horns.

“Omar was pretty good with computers,” says Garcia.

The incident is the first time an intruder has abused the no-start system, according to Jim Krueger, co-owner of Pay Technologies. “It was a fairly straightforward situation,” says Krueger. “He had retained a password, and what happened was he went in and created a little bit of havoc.”

Enter the Dragon

Oi, gente!

Estou testando um “blog client” da própria Microsoft, o Windows Live Writer. Me parece legal, não preciso acessar o site pra criar postagens, é só clicar 2x no programa e já começar a escrever.

Vou usar um filme do Bruce Lee que se chama Operação Dragão como pretexto para esta postagem. Este é um filme clássico, um dos meus prediletos, vale a pena ter em casa. Extremamente bem feito, tanto é que todo o tema musical do filme é feito por ninguém menos que o Lalo Schifrin, quem compôs o tema de Missão Impossível de 88. Só isso já diz muito do filme. Além do que, para o Mr. Lee (mesmo em um filme) existe toda uma teorização filosófica acerca de um simples soco ou chute; mais do que força é necessário conteúdo…me identifico com isso…

Abraços!

Operação Aurora

Depois do Conficker (janeiro de 2009) que mudou muitos paradigmas do mundo da Segurança da Informação, em janeiro de 2010 (coincidência?) temos agora o Aurora.

Aurora é um ataque inteiramente direcionado a algumas das maiores empresas do cenário global (Google, Adobe, Intel...). O ataque explora uma vulnerabilidade do Internet Explorer da Microsoft que ficou pública no dia 15/01 e cujo patch de correção só foi sair no dia 21/01. O grande objetivo do Aurora é claro: roubar a informação mais valiosa de uma corporação, a propriedade intelectual.

O padrão de ação do Aurora é extremamente sofisticado e isso chamou a nossa atenção: Criptografia muito forte e um alto poder de disfarce, ou seja, desde o momento em que o código explora a vulnerabilidade até o momento em que o atacante tem acesso aos dados confidenciais tudo acontece de modo que, para o sistema operacional e para o usuário (transparentemente para este último), todos os arquivos e processos parecem ser legítimos, inclusive utilizando a porta 443, cujo tráfego de pacotes é criptografado utilizando SSL, só que a criptografia que o ataque usa nessa porta é customizado (olha só!), não é a criptografia nativa do protocolo.

Outra coisa que chamou a atenção e que mostra o quanto os cybercriminosos estão sofisticados e COORDENADOS é o fato de que a Operação Aurora teve início nos feriados de natal e ano novo, ou seja, num momento em que a possibilidade de detecção por parte das empresas seria fortemente minimizada.

O Google, grande alvo deste ataque, juntamente com outras muitas empresas que ainda não disseram publicamente que foram atacadas (muitas nem vão dizer), suspeita que o ataque veio da China e isto está dando pano pra manga no âmbito das relações internacionais entre EUA e China.

Outra vez vemos uma mudança de paradigma, onde, corporativamente, além da consolidação de processos e aplicações para proteção de dados financeiros (ou que tenham valor no mercado negro) internos e externos, é mister proteger a propriedade intelectual.

Vou colocar o link para o boletim de segurança da Microsoft, onde estão disponíveis para download os KBs de correção da vulnerabilidade. Testem o patch em pequena escala para análise de comportamento (operacionalidade e disponibilidade) para depois aplicar ao ambiente como um todo.

Eu tava andando à toa naquela calçada da fama em Los Angeles (aliás, a única coisa que você faz nessa calçada da fama é andar e andar, tem nada de mais, fica entediante até) e vejam só quem encontrei! Meu grande mentor, rss! Essa foto aqui vai ficar pra posteridade....ahm...minha posteridade, rss, ahm.....pois é.

Devaneios de um Agroboy

Oh, eu quero fazer um desabafo.

Um grande amigo me contou que a filhe dele foi num show de um tal de Edson e Hudson e de repente o Hudson, que toca guitarra, falou pra todo mundo ouvir em alto e bom som que ele está entre os 15 melhores guitarristas do MUNDO!

Olha, poxa, que complicação um cidadão falar uma asneira destas, viu. Esse cara (olha o desrespeito à platéia dele) jura que quem está no show é só gente que não passou da quarta série, por isso ele se sente à vontade pra falar esse tipo de besteira. Na cabeça desses caras o público deles é só gente burra mesmo e que nem sonha com assuntos de guitarra, com coisas mais "complicadas". Bem baixinho aqui: Muito embora...ahm...nada!

Esses agroboys empolgados...

Tá certo que ele tem alguma habilidade, toca com uma Music Man...vamos ser justos, mas, daí...

Pra piorar, vem uma revista fuleira chamada Rolling Stone que fala que esse carinha é um dos melhores guitarristas do Brasil. E ficou mais fuleira ainda depois que soltou uma lista dos 100 melhores guitarristas do mundo (10 dólares pra quem adivinhar se o nome do Hudson está entre os quinze primeiros) toda doidona, colocando o demente do Kurt Cobain em 11º e o David Gilmour em 82º! Não, o que é isso! Me falar que um Buddy Guy, 30º, toca menos guitarra que Kirk Hammet, 10º, do Metallica? Isso é chacota, por favor! Isso é brincadeira, ora!

Bom, voltando ao caso do agroboy, por conta dessa besteira, eu, se tivesse tempo, iria propor uma ação contra ele. E não é porque é besteira, não, é porque e MUITA besteira, chegando ao desrespeito, ora. Um pessoa pública pode sair falando qualquer asneira de maneira impune assim? Pode não! Então, encorajo quem quiser colocar esse cidadão num tribunal pra ele explicar direitinho pro juiz que estória é essa de melhor guitarrista do mundo, hehe!

Esse amigo meu, o grande chefe Dilar que está certo: tinha é que alguém subir no palco na hora, dar uns trompassos no segurança (e certamente tomar uns trompassos na orelha também, rs), pegar o microfone, arregalar os olhos e falar: "O que você falou, seu mentiroso?"

Acho que vou acessar o site desses caras e lá deve ter um botão "Fale conosco". Tomara que tenha, pois quero perguntar pra esse Hudson onde é que ele viu que ele está entre os 15 melhores guitar players do mundo...essa eu quero ver, hehe!

Abraços!

Todo dia pode ser Natal!

É com muito prazer que coloco a minha primeira postagem de 2010!

Sempre que chega o Natal e se aproxima o ano novo, somos inundados de sentimentos bons. Agradecimento, benevolência e penitência são as atitudes mais comuns. Tem também uma sensação agradável de dever cumprido (para quem está empregado) que nos inspira a relaxar e aproveitar melhor a vida vivendo sentimentos e sensações não ou raramente vividas durante o ano. Definitivamente, somos mais "humanos" no sentido metafórico da palavra no final do ano, pois deixamos de pensar somente em nós mesmos e ampliamos nosso olhar à vida como um todo e é aí que percebemos que temos muito o que agradecer.

Eu confesso que antes isso seria uma grande crítica pra mim, o fato de nos lembrarmos de certas coisas somente no Natal, mas, como vivo a realidade da absurda demanda do mercado de trabalho e do ambiente corporativo, entendo perfeitamente o fato de não termos muito tempo e cabeça para ampliarmos nosso campo de visão, não é fácil mesmo.

Entretanto, conhecer a realidade não significa aceitá-la...conhecer não é justificar. Na verdade esta dinâmica de vida nossa é torta e incorreta, não é justa, pensando em um ser humano "de verdade". Nunca vai ser correto não ter tempo de dar atenção que os amigos e a família merecem. Nunca vai ser correto que só entremos em contato com a natureza uma vez ou outra ou nenhuma vez durante o ano em função da grande quantidade de trabalho, contas, responsabilidades, etc. Por mais que os amantes do trabalho não sintam falta, isso nunca vai ser ideal.

Acho que o grande exercício é este, então, qual seja, procurar viver, dar vazão a atitudes e sentimentos mais "sutilizados" DURANTE o ano. É só pensar que TODO o dia e TODA hora é tempo de agradecer a Deus (qualquer que seja o nosso Deus, se Jeová, Buda, Alá...), de validar as pessoas (validar é elogiar as qualidades e agradecê-las pela presença na nossa vida), de doar roupas e calçados usados, de visitar quem não se vê há muito tempo, de expressar sentimentos bons, de viver em paz, etc. Vale a pena tentar!

Desejo um ótimo 2010 e pra quem assistiu o filme 2012, amarrem as calças, hehe! Ahm...Brincadeira!

Um abraço fraterno e muita paz!

Diego
