- Can Your Network Withstand The Zombie Attack?
According to Internet World Stats, the worldwide Internet population is close to 2 billion users. Many users browse the Internet without appropriate security software, or by using operating systems and software that are not properly updated. Attackers use automated techniques to discover such systems and exploit known vulnerabilities to install DDoS tools on those systems. Such infected computers are called zombie computers. Through automation, attackers exploit a large number of vulnerable computers, infecting them with malware code that gives attackers control of those systems.

- Use-After-Free ActiveX Vulnerability in Microsoft Remote Desktop Client (CVE-2013-1296)
One of my favorite pastimes here at Ixia BreakingPoint is exploring the limits of a vulnerability. We get vulnerability information from a variety of sources, and one of the things the ATI Security Team takes great pride in is our ability to fully test the capabilities of a detection device (such as a firewall or intrusion protection system). This means creating strikes that fully mimic all the possible ways an exploit can take advantage of a vulnerability, in all its possible incarnations. This can mean different file transfer methods, obfuscation and evasion methods, as well as non-obvious exploitation methods.

- UFOs and Other Sightings at Interop 2013
Seen at Ixia’s Interop booth this year; UFOs, vintage sodas, wheel of DDOS attack, and lots of conference attendees! Our UFO (unidentified failures and outages) creature proved very skilled at luring unsuspecting earthlings into the Ixia booth. Once trapped by the UFO, they stayed for the vintage sodas, to try their luck at the wheel of DDOS attack, and of course to learn about Ixia products! Many thanks to the UFO for helping spread the word about Ixia.
