New trojan: Dark Connection Inside 1.2. Big thanks to GIAST.

Passive Aggression v1.0.
This PERL script is a proof-of-concept exploit for downloading other user's files from FTP servers without needing thier authentication. It works against servers that use passive connections for data transfers and fail to check the incoming address of the data connection. It first attempts to determine the server-side data port incrementation rate and then guesses at the next port, makes a connection, and saves the retrieved data to a file. This does not work against M$ boxen, but is fairly impressive when run against large public FTP servers. A much more sinister purpose would be to snag confidential files being passed between corporate networks at scheduled times, like end of the day batch processing of customer orders, or crontab'd FTP backups.

NetGuard will sit in your Windows system tray and monitor popular trojan ports for connection attempts. When a connection is made, the detected IP is traced and optionally logged to a file on your hard drive. The intruding computer is then automatically disconnected.

It also has been tested under Windows 2000 as well as 4.0.
This build is testing a new technique called EXE Redirection which can hide any trojan from the user. If you open, hash, CRC, or scan the file - you see the original file, but if you execute the file, you get the trojan. This is a very powerful stealth technique. Also, this build sports the ability to hide registry keys and values.

New Release:
SAINT 2.1.1 is the Security Administrator's Integrated Network Tool. In its simplest mode, it gathers as much information about remote hosts and networks as possible by examining such network services as finger, NFS, NIS, ftp and tftp, rexd, statd, and other services. The information gathered includes the presence of various network information services as well as potential security flaws -- usually in the form of incorrectly setup or configured network services, well-known bugs in system or network utilities, or poor or ignorant policy decisions.
Platforms:
SunOS 4.1.3_U1
SunOS 5 (Solaris)

The "Nessus" Project aims to provide to the internet community a free, powerful,up-to-date and easy to use remote security scanner. A security scanner is a software which will audit remotely a given network and determine whether bad guys (aka 'crackers') may break into it, or misuse it in some way. Link.

IDLEScan:
To run the program you will have to be able to reach one or more idle machines. Almost any device with an IP network interface will do: printers, switches, routers, windows or UN*X boxes with low network traffic. The scan is conducted from the attacking machine, but the IP packets are forged to make it look as though they came from the idle machines (we'll call those 'sensors'). Port scans are performed by sending certain packets to the target and waiting for a reply. In this case, the answer will return to the 'sensor'. But predictable IP numbering makes it possible for us to know if an answer came back to the 'sensor' or not, by sending a packet to it ourselves and observing the returned packet ID. This conducts a fairly reliable port scan, while completely faking the origin of the scan. Download.

The Deception ToolKit (DTK) is a toolkit designed to give defenders a couple of orders of magnitude advantage over attackers. The basic idea is not new. We use deception to counter attacks. In the case of DTK, the deception is intended to make it appear to attackers as if the system running DTK has a large number of widely known vulnerabilities. DTK's deception is programmable, but it is typically limited to producing output in response to attacker input in such a way as to simulate the behavior of a system which is vulnerable to the attackers method.
