  • How to jailbreak iphone 5 iOS 7.1 and iOS 7.1.1. cell phones – mobil

    jailbreak ios tools

    Quite Surprisingly, a team of Chinese hackers, Pangu have released an untethered jailbreak for iOS 7.1 and iOS 7.1.1.

    This untethered jailbreak is compatible with iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPad Air, iPad 4, iPad 3, iPad 2, iPad mini, Retina iPad mini and iPod touch 5G running iOS 7.1-iOS 7.1.1.

     

    The jailbreak tool is currently available for Windows but works on every iOS devices. Many iOS users have posted on Reddit that the tool works successfully.

    Jailbreaking is a process of removing limitations on iOS devices, Apple’s operating system, so you can install third party software not certified by Apple. Such devices include the iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, and second-generation Apple TV.

     

    One question rises in my mind that when Apple’s system root protections have been greatly enhanced in an effort to make jailbreaks more difficult, then what’s the whole story behind the unexpectedly release of this jailbreak tool?

     

    STEPS TO JAILBREAK iOS 7.1 & iOS 7.1.1
    The installation process of the isn’t as simple as the previous jailbreak, but you can follow this Reddit thread:

     

     

    1. Make sure you have iTunes installed.
    2. Edit your iPhone’s date to June 2, 2014
    3. Open the PanGu.exe file
    4. Click the black button to the right (also UNCHECK THE CHECKMARK where you see random characters and the “PP”)
    5. As soon as the “brush stroke” loading bar fills to 20%, the PanGu app will appear on your phone
    6. Tap it
    7. Select Continue
    8. It will fill the loading brush stroke until 80% and your iTunes will open (it will only open IF you have iTunesHelper.exe on your Windows Taskbar)
    9. Close iTunes
    10. Your device will reboot
    11. When it opens again, wait for the brush stroke to complete to 100%
    12. Your device will reboot once more
    13. The process will be finished 100%
    14. The PanGu app will be replaced with Cydia
    15. Do your usual stuff by opening Cydia and continue with what you want to install by then.
    16. For precautionary measures, install Complete PPSync Remover (on https://cydia.angelxwind.net repo) because even though you uncheck the “PP” on step 4, it installs it anyway (internally without the app showing)

     

    COMPATIBLE DEVICES

    This Untethered Jailbreak is compatible with following devices running iOS 7.1-iOS 7.1.1:

    • iPhone 5s
    • iPhone 5c
    • iPhone 4S
    • iPhone 4
    • iPad Air
    • iPad 4
    • iPad 3
    • iPad 2
    • iPad mini
    • Retina iPad mini
    • iPod touch 5G
    CONTROVERSY OF STOLEN JAILBREAK EXPLOIT
    It’s worth noting that the jailbreak is available from a new team and the said hack is the first from the team. The controversy behind the sudden release of the jailbreak apparently came from one of the exploits used by a security expert and known jailbreaker Stefan Esser, aka i0n1c, who show off the method to jailbreak the iOS 7.1.1 using iPhone 5C during his training session.

     

    IOS jailbreak tool

     

    The people behind it reportedly took this training session given by Esser and allegedly exposed his exploit in the market. Esser expressed his disappointment over the adoption of his exploit via his twitter account, and later Esser even called the Pangu team members “thieves” and wished “everyone of my followers who installed Pangu much fun with malware from China.

    The jailbreak tool (download here) apparently installs the most popular third-party app installer Cydia, but also throws in a Chinese store with apps unsanctioned by Apple.

    However, world-renowned software developer and a very well-known iOS hacker, H8sn0w has confirmed via Twitter that the jailbreak tool does not contain any spyware or malicious software in it and is safe to use.

  • Zeus Trojan (or Zbot Trojan) steals confidential information from the infected computer.

    Pandemiya hacking trojan

    A new and relatively rare Zeus Trojan program was found which is totally different from other banking Trojans and has capability to secretly steal data from forms, login credentials and files from the victim as well as can create fake web pages and take screenshots of victim’s computer.

    Researchers at RSA Security’s FraudAction team have discovered this new and critical threat, dubbed as ‘Pandemiya’, which is being offered to the cyber criminals in underground forums as an alternative to the infamous Zeus Trojan and its many variants, that is widely used by most of the cyber-criminals for years to steal banking information from consumers and companies.

     

    The source code of the Zeus banking Trojan is available on the underground forums from past few years, which lead malware developers to design more sophisticated variants of Zeus Trojan such as Citadel, Ice IX and Gameover Zeus.

     

    But, Pandemiya is something by far the most isolated and dangerous piece of malware as the author spent a year in writing the code for Pandemiya, which includes 25,000 lines of original code written in C.
    Like other commercial Trojan, Pandemiya infect the machines through exploit kits and via drive-by download attacks to boost infection rate that exploit flaws in the vulnerable software such as Java, Silverlight and Flash within few seconds victim lands on the web page.

    Pandemiya’s coding quality is quite interesting, and contrary to recent trends in malware development, it is not based on Zeus source code at all, unlike Citadel/Ice IX, etc.,” researchers from RSA, the security division of EMC, said Tuesday in a blog post. “Through our research, we found out that the author of Pandemiya spent close to a year of coding the application, and that it consists of more than 25,000 lines of original code in C.

    Pandemiya Trojan using Windows CreateProcess API to inject itself into every new process that is initiated, including Explorer.exe and re-injects itself when needed. Pandemiya is being sold for as much as $2,000 USD and provides all the nasty features including encrypted communication with command and control servers in an effort to evade detection.The Trojan has been designed with modular architecture to load more external plug-ins, which allows hackers to add extra features simply by writing new DLL (dynamic link library). The extra plug-ins easily add capabilities to the Trojan’s core functionality, that’s why the developer charge an extra of $500 USD to get the core application as well as its plugins, which allows cybercriminals to open reverse proxies on infected computers, to steal FTP credentials and to infect executable files in order to inject the malware at start up.

     

    The advent of a freshly coded new trojan malware application is not too common in the underground,” Marcus writes, adding that the modular approach in Pandemiya could make it “more pervasive in the near future.

    The malware developers are also working on other new features to add reverse Remote Desktop Protocol connections and a Facebook attack module in order to spread the Trojan through hijacked Facebook accounts.

    HOW TO REMOVE PANDEMIYA TROJAN

    The Trojan can be easily removed with a little modification in the registry and command line action, as explained below:

      1. Locate the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and identify the *.EXE filename in your user’s ‘Application Data’ folder. Note the name, and delete the registry value.
      2. Locate the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\AppCertDlls. Find the value with the same name as the *.EXE file in the previous step. Note the file name, and remove the value from the registry.
      3. Reboot the system. At this stage Pandemiya is installed but no longer running. Delete both files noted earlier. This will remove the last traces of the Trojan. Your system is now clean.

  • First Android Phone Ransomware that Encrypts your SD card Files

    We have seen cybercriminals targeting PCs with Ransomware malware that encrypts your files or lock down your computer and ask for a ransom amount to be paid in a specified duration of time to unlock it.
    To deliver the Ransomware malwares to the mobile devices, cyber criminals have already started creating malicious software programs for android devices. Last month, we reported about a new Police Ransomware malware that locks up the devices until the victims pay a ransom to get the keys to unlock the phone. But, the malware just lock the mobile screen and a loophole in the its implementation allowed users to recover their device and data stored on SDcard.

    Now, in an effort to overcome this, threat actors have adopted encryption in the development of mobile Ransomware malwares. Recently, the security firm ESET has discovered a new Android ransomware, dubbed as Android/Simplocker.A, that has ability to encrypt the files on the device SD card and then demand a ransom from the victim in order to decrypt those files.

    Once installed, the malware scans the SD card for certain file types such as image, document or video with extensions – jpeg, jpg, png, bmp, gif, pdf, doc, docx, txt, avi, mkv, 3gp, mp4 and encrypts them using AES in a separate thread in the background. After encrypting the files, the malware displays the following ransom message, written in Russian, which clearly means that this threat is targeting Russian Android users.

    WARNING your phone is locked!
    The device is locked for viewing and distributing child pornography , zoophilia and other perversions.
    To unlock you need to pay 260 UAH.
    1.) Locate the nearest payment kiosk.
    2.) Select MoneXy
    3.) Enter {REDACTED}.
    4.) Make deposit of 260 Hryvnia, and then press pay. Do not forget to take a receipt!
    After payment your device will be unlocked within 24 hours. In case of no PAYMENT YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA ON your device!

    The Ransomware malware directs victim to pay the ransom amount i.e. 260 UAH, which is roughly equal to $21 US, through the MoneXy service, as this payment service is not easily traceable as the regular credit card.

    mobile virus

    To maintain anonymity the malware author is using the Command-and-Control server hosted on TOR .onion domain and the malware sends the information of the infected device such as IMEI number to its server. The researchers at ESET are still analysing the malware:

    Our analysis of the Android/Simplock.A sample revealed that we are most likely dealing with a proof-of-concept or a work in progress – for example, the implementation of the encryption doesn’t come close to “the infamous Cryptolocker” on Windows.

    The researchers have found that the malware is capable to encrypt the victim’s files, which could be lost if the decryption key is not retrieved from the malware author by paying the ransom amount, but on the other hand the researchers strongly advise users against paying fine, as their is no guarantee that the hacker will provide you decryption keys even after paying the amount.
    Unfortunately, mobile antivirus products are only capable to detect such known/detected threats only and can’t detect similar the new threats. So, it is important for you to always keep the back-up of all your files either manually on the computer system or use cloud backup services like dropbox, google drive etc, in order to protect it from the emerging threats.

  • FBI Bust Computer Hackers Spying and Stealing your information while online

    Computer hacker forums lit up last week as Federal Bureau of Investigation agents and police in 17 countries began knocking on doors, seizing computers and making arrests.

    On the popular websites where cyber criminals buy and sell software kits and help each other solve problems, hackers issued warnings about police visits to their homes.

    The hackers quickly guessed that a major crackdown was underway on users of the malicious software known as Blackshades.

    The FBI and prosecutors in the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office announced the results of that probe on Monday: More than 90 arrests worldwide.

    The malware sells for as little as $40. It can be used to hijack computers remotely and turn on computer webcams, access hard drives and capture keystrokes to steal passwords — without victims ever knowing it.

    Related: Beware, your computer may be watching you

    Criminals have used Blackshades to commit everything from extortion to bank fraud, the FBI said.

    Last week, watching it all play out were about two dozen FBI cybercrime investigators holed up in the New York FBI’s special operations center, high above lower Manhattan.

    Rows of computer screens flickered with updates from police in Germany, Denmark, Canada, the Netherlands and elsewhere. Investigators followed along in real time as hundreds of search warrants were executed and suspects were interviewed.

    The sweep, capping a two-year operation, is one of the largest global cybercrime crackdowns ever. It was coordinated so suspects didn’t have time to destroy evidence. Among those arrested, in Moldova, was a Swedish hacker who was a co-creator of Blackshades.

    “The charges unsealed today should put cyber criminals around the world on notice,” said Leo Taddeo, chief of the FBI’s cybercrime investigations in New York. “If you think you can hide behind your computer screen — think again. ”

    hackersOfficials say Blackshades was used to illegally access the computers of 700,000 victims around the world, as shown in this FBI heatmap.

    700,000 victims around the world: Inside the FBI special operations center, six large computer monitors displayed key parts of the probe. Agents kept an eye on one screen showing a popular website where Blackshades was sold. The site was taken down by the FBI.

    Another monitor showed a heatmap of the world displaying the locations of the 700,000 estimated victims, whose computers have been hijacked by criminals using the Blackshades software. Splotches of green on the map indicated concentrations of infected computers in highly populated parts of the U.S., Europe, Asia and Australia.

    The FBI said that in just a few years Blackshades has become one of the world’s most popular remote-administration tools, or RATs, used for cybercrime.

    Taddeo said the unprecedented coordination with so many police agencies came about because of concern about the fast growth of cybercrime businesses.

    “These cyber criminals have paid employees, they have feedback from customers — other cyber criminals — to continually update and improve their product,” Taddeo said recently. While he spoke, agents took calls from counterparts working the case in more than 40 U.S. cities.

    Blackshades had grown rapidly because it was marketed as off-the-shelf, easy to use software, much like legitimate consumer tax-preparation software.

    “It’s very sophisticated software in that it is not very easy to detect,” Taddeo said. “It can be installed by somebody with very little skills.”

  • New Malware goes viral spreading through Facebook Messages

    Facebook Malware threat

    In yet another method for cyber criminals to utilize the world’s most popular social networks for their own nefarious purposes, it appears a trojan is circulating through Facebook, stealing accounts and (probably) taking creds.

    Thanks to the vigilant mind of Malwarebytes User, Showbizz, we were able to take a look at this new threat and what it could mean for the rest of the net.

    Here is how it works:

    1. User gets a Facebook instant message from a friend of their’s, which includes the words ‘lol’ and a file waiting to be downloaded.
    2. The user downloads the file because they can assume it can be trusted.  The filename matches the usual filename of a photo: ‘IMG_xxxx’.zip.
    3. Once downloaded, the user unzips the file and clicks on what they assume is an image file, still called IMG_xxxx.jar
    4. The JAR file executes, downloads malware and infects the system.
    5. The infected users Facebook account is compromised and then used to send more malware to the users friends.

    Unlike previous versions of this scam, it is almost like the cyber criminals decided to make an amalgam of different infection tactics to obtain the normal goal.

    The first is the use of instant messaging, we have seen plenty of malware use instant messaging in various forms to send malicious files to victims, including Skype, MSN, Yahoo, etc.
