Turn it off and on again, but for critical infrastructure

Researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology built a replica of a segmented industrial network, repeatedly attacked it, and used the captured traffic to train a defense agent that decides when to intervene. The study shows that packet-count-based belief tracking can help the agent infer intrusion progress and reset affected hosts or processes, while also highlighting limits in generalization and operational safety. #KTHRoyalInstituteofTechnology #CVE-2017-7494

The sparrow that chirped too loud: FamousSparrow attacks using updated SparrowDoor and the new SquawkDoor backdoor

The SquawkDoor backdoor uses browser-waiting and a one-time POST to /register-ip as anti-analysis and execution confirmation, then connects to its command-and-control server over TLS with a custom SQD1 protocol. After the handshake, it collects basic host information and awaits further commands from the C2 server. #SquawkDoor #register-ip #SQD1
