In today's episode, we dive deep into the digital world's hidden dangers, uncovering how the FBI's strategic takedown impacts us and the unseen battles fought in the cyber realm. First, we explore the aftermath of a major operation against Chinese malware in SOHO routers, shedding light on how botnets threaten our digital security and steps to safeguard our devices. Then, we shift focus to a critical vulnerability within Windows Event Log, known as EventLogCrasher, revealing its widespread impact and the community's swift response to mitigate the threat. Lastly, we touch on a sophisticated cyber-attack using popular platforms like Vimeo and Ars Technica for malware distribution. Stay informed and ahead of cyber threats with our insightful analysis and expert advice. Original articles: Chinese malware removed from SOHO routers after FBI issues covert commands US Feds shut down China-linked KV botnet Botnet threat to critical infrastructure New Windows Event Log zero-day flaw gets unofficial patches Music provided by http://www.jeredjones.com [00:00:00] announcer: Welcome to the Daily Decrypt, the go to podcast for all things cyber security. Get ready to decrypt the complexities of cyber safety and stay informed. Today is February 2nd, 2024, the most important day of your life. Here are your hosts, Offset Keys and Doja Span. [00:00:21] offsetkeyz: Welcome back to the Daily Decrypt. Thanks for tuning in. Today it is Offset Keys accompanied by DojaSpan. You got both the boys in town. We're back. And yesterday we talked a little bit about SOHO routers. And I had to bring in the expert on home networking, DojaSpan, to talk about a little more in depth SOHO routers. And if you don't remember from yesterday, SOHO stands for Small Office. We're gonna be talking about that a little more. I'm gonna bring you a story about a Windows event log crasher, but don't worry. I'm gonna help keep it relevant to everybody. And then finally, DogeSpan's [00:01:00] gonna close us off with some Vimeo USB stick to deliver second stage malware. [00:01:07] d0gesp4n: The article that was brought up yesterday, I thought was really good. Really relevant to a lot of users. Especially with some of the research that I've conducted myself, personally. I've gone on different websites that are accessible that you can essentially look at what is being publicly hosted. From different IP addresses, and one of the common ones that I found were Soho routers, they had their admin pages, which is what offset keys was going into yesterday about typing in that IP address, instead of a www address, and getting in and changing that admin. Some manufacturers like to, by default, expose that from time to time. Not gonna call any a specific one out because there wasn't a trend it was pretty much all across the board But the other thing is that they like to expose it and by [00:02:00] expose it publicly accessible Like we talked about you can navigate it navigate to it from anywhere in the internet the manufacturers will do that so that they can give you technical support or whatever. But the key thing that OffsetKey was talking about was just getting in there and changing the password. So that is first and foremost the number one step that you want to do. The other thing that you can do to mitigate a lot of issues. Is rebooting your router from time to time. Routers are a little bit different than computers where a lot of stuff is stored in short term memory and the way to think about that is, you're doing tasks throughout the day. And if you don't write down certain bits of information, you're going to forget about it when you go to sleep. And in terms of like computers and routers is when you reboot them, they pick right back up to what they originally knew from the start. [00:02:54] offsetkeyz: If you've ever seen the movie Memento it's an older movie, but it is exactly that. He cannot remember things for more [00:03:00] than like 30 minutes. Every 30 minutes he resets to a certain point, and that's how computers work too. [00:03:06] d0gesp4n: Yeah, so with this , I think it was, CISA, the Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency. They mentioned that, this was going on by Chinese spies and the FBI took down the servers that were leveraging these vulnerable routers for a giant botnet. on the bright side, the bad guys were taken down on this. But this is a really common theme to use against home equipment because it's relatively unsecure unless you go in and take, a couple steps. And now, a botnet, it does sound terrible. The thing about a botnet is a bunch of computers, or routers, or Chromecasts, or printers all communicating back to one brain and doing whatever that brain wants them to do. And it could be, like, just sending out tons of emails. Could be [00:04:00] just monitoring a bunch of information off of those devices, and then also launching attacks. [00:04:07] offsetkeyz: That's so interesting. Yeah, I was reading the article yesterday about Soho devices and it was so vague. I think I even mentioned it yesterday. I was like, they don't really talk much about what's going on. So really, thanks to Doja Span for talking about botnets. Botnets, I just had this funny analogy in my head that I'm going to share with you guys. Botnets are like, yeah, you just bought a new house. And there's a little troll in the basement who just lives there until the troll master needs him to do something, right? So he's not it's not terrible. He does take up resources like air and probably needs water and food. So he might suck on that a little bit, But if you have Millions of houses with each having one troll in that house and then all of a sudden they get really mad at let's say Walmart and Every one of those trolls goes into Walmart and I have a million trolls in Walmart. No one else can go in no one else can [00:05:00] do anything So that's an example of what we would call a DDoS attack, which is a distributed, using the trolls, denial of service, right? Every troll goes in, denies anyone else access to Walmart. Walmart doesn't like that, because now they get no money. Of all the hacks I'd like to have done to me, I wouldn't want any done to me, but having a botnet, it's, they're not really trying to get you, they're just trying to Have access to your resources when they need them, and then attack somebody else using your resources. [00:05:28] d0gesp4n: I like that. [00:05:29] offsetkeyz: Little trolls. [00:05:31] d0gesp4n: A little troll. [00:05:32] offsetkeyz: thanks DojaSpan for bringing that to us. [00:05:34] d0gesp4n: Yeah. [00:05:34] offsetkeyz: The key takeaway from yesterday's episode is that most people have what's called a SoHo device in their home. Most of them are insecure. they were likely being used for botnets. if anyone has actually noticed an increase in their internet speed in the last month, I'd love to hear about it in the comments, because DojaSpan talked about, the servers being used have been shut down, so [00:06:00] likely the resources that those little trolls were using have gone away, or, come back to you and will show up as probably an internet speed boost, I would imagine. Do you agree with that? [00:06:12] d0gesp4n: Yeah. And I didn't think about the direct impact. I'm thinking of crypto mining and stuff, how that can burn up your energy, but that's big computers and, running your GPU or your graphics. even just your internet speed. [00:06:24] offsetkeyz: if you've experienced that kind of a boost, you're kind of like, Oh, it's working really well today. We'd love to hear about it. That's very interesting to us. So drop a comment below. Okay, so moving on to our next story, I'm going to be discussing What's known as a zero day vulnerability surprise, surprise from Microsoft in the windows operating system, which has been coined event log crasher. So before I go into that, I just wanted to explain what a zero day is. A zero day essentially is something that came out [00:07:00] in a product when the product was released that the company didn't know about and there's no fix for it. It's just sitting there. undiscovered until one day it's discovered by attackers, and then they can exploit it as long as they can keep it secret from the company. Once the company finds out, they declare it a zero day, they fix it. Sometimes those fixes take a long time, but they're always delivered to you in security updates. So one of the things we will harp on On this show is keep your phone up to date. If you've got the big red blinking button at the top of your chrome that says, please, for the love of God, update me, just do it. It's all the tabs are going to open back up. But what that update is doing is fixing security vulnerabilities. More often than not. So what's really cool about this article from Bleeping Computer is it talks about how this event log crasher vulnerability has not yet been patched by Microsoft. But what's cool is that a third party service called [00:08:00] Zeropatch has stepped in with unofficial fixes. Which is so cool, we're gonna need to start leveraging the community on these fixes, they're gonna start coming out quicker and quicker. One of the things I briefly touched on yesterday is What's called logs. Logs are just generally text files in a certain format that Write down everything that you do. [00:08:23] offsetkeyz: Everything that your computer does. I can't really think of a good analogy other than a sign in roster, maybe? If you went to the YMCA last month, you probably had to sign in and say that someone, got killed on that day. The police are probably going to go check that sign in roster. So that's what we would call logs. So when something happens in your network, the first thing that a security investigator is going to do is go check the logs for around the time that event happened. Attackers, we don't really think about this too much until we get into [00:09:00] network defense, but attackers want to cover their tracks. Just like murderers probably do as well, right? They want to go in and Maybe they signed in before they killed someone at the YMCA and they want to get their name off that roster, right? So that's essentially why this vulnerability is so bad, right? I didn't even explain this vulnerability so first of all attackers can use simple credentials and stop the service That logs events in windows computers for an indefinite amount of time. So the first thing they're going to do when they launch an attack is they're going to go stop that service. They're going to launch their attack and maybe they start it back up and maybe no one notices, but now there's no record of that attack. So this is pretty bad. It affects. All versions of Windows between 7 and 11. And, it's especially concerning for corporate networks, where, they need to know what's going on. [00:09:54] d0gesp4n: I really like that there are unofficial security patches coming out, even though you do want to be careful, [00:10:00] but it just pivots to the whole open source community. And the open source community is a collective of people for the most part trying to do the right thing and write useful software and help everybody out. It offers a lot of transparency which we've talked about in a previous episode. opens up the window so that everybody can go in and see what is running on this software. But you have a lot of major players in the industry like Apple, like Microsoft that tend to shy away from open source because they want to keep so much control over their devices. And this is really cool. I have come across this, I think just a small handful of times. [00:10:49] offsetkeyz: Yeah, there's a there's essentially a sect of people out there in the tech world that do really complex professional work for free and It's fun. It's [00:11:00] great Resume building. It's great community building great networking. It's probably gonna lead you to a very nice job, very high paying job because of your generosity. And that's really respected in the industry. But when we talk about open source, that's what that means is it's community funded, all of the code is available to anyone who wants to see it. And things like Microsoft. And Windows itself are closed source, where we can't actually see the source code. We can't contribute to it, etc. So when we say open source, all we're saying is, yeah, somebody from the tech community opened up their coding environment and wrote a fix for this Windows Event Crasher and distributed it for free. Did you ever see those old Budweiser commercials? Where real heroes, what was it? It was like, real American heroes. And then they would, do you remember those? It was like the 90s and they would just like pick. They would just pick a To you, sir, who [00:12:00] stands behind the bowling alley desk. Like a real American hero. They have a cool slogan. So yes, to you, individual who made this patch, we salute you. [00:12:10] d0gesp4n: The desk at your home office, and types away for the benefit of all humankind, we salute you. [00:12:20] offsetkeyz: real American hero right there. [00:12:23] d0gesp4n: All right. So this next one is brought to us by a combination of resources I pulled from different sources, but Ars Technica, Mandiant and HelpNet Security. Essentially what's going on is that this thread actor is using USBs to deliver malware that then go to websites that we commonly use. They'll plug them into their computer and it has a simple application that you may be familiar with. If you've used Windows, it could be explorer dot [00:13:00] whatever. And then you're clicking on it because you're curious. And what happens is it pulls up one of these websites. Now, baked into the website, could be in the description of the video. It's a little series of letters, numbers what's called an encoded string that is issuing the command for this malware to go and do its thing. So depending on where, what website you go, could be directing to a specific comment on a website. But depending on where it goes, Might be directing your infected machine to behave a certain way. It's gonna pick up CNC traffic, which is command and control. It could go do something else and just harvest your passwords and so on. It's really simple to do. It's simple for users to, to fall into this because you're just generally curious to see what's on a USB drive. Even as a security practitioner, I'm If I see something like that laying on the ground, I definitely want to plug it in, Yeah, [00:14:00] so it's running various programs. This one is called empty space, takes over your computer, steals info mines for cryptocurrency, which is similar to the botnets that we were talking about. Now, this kind of Stuff could if it has infected your computer could cause your energy bill to go up because your computer's starting to eat up a lot more power to run and try to make somebody else money through cryptocurrency. But really, the interesting side of this is the fact that they're using regular websites. So when you download a piece of malware, it could be an attachment. If you execute it by, double clicking on it, and then some website comes up and it seems benign a Vimeo video, could be YouTube. I know previously the website formerly known as Twitter X, was used to distribute and control different forms of malware. [00:14:54] offsetkeyz: I've not seen too many USB sticks on the floor. I've never been tempted to plug in a USB [00:15:00] stick, but I'm wondering, these attackers can get pretty creative when they're doing these sorts of things. And so I'm wondering if there's like maybe a Facebook marketplace or something where people are selling like used USB sticks or [00:15:14] d0gesp4n: This one's targeted at businesses. And that's usually where I hear about it is somebody would want to get information or trade secrets from a business in particular. So then they'll leave it outside of there, I could leave it outside of Starbucks. A lot of people go and they work remotely and go in for their afternoon coffee and a little bit of a. I don't know. Coffee and work? [00:15:35] offsetkeyz: Yeah, curiosity killed the cat. [00:15:44] offsetkeyz: I think that's it for today. I really appreciate Doge's Band coming on and [00:15:49] d0gesp4n: I appreciate Offset Keys showing up for this and giving us your expert opinion. [00:15:55] offsetkeyz: I'm a little sleepy. Because y'all have me delivering news to you [00:16:00] every day, alright? Demanding it of me. Thanks for demanding it of me. I really appreciate you guys listening. It's been a blast. Happy Friday! If y'all are bored this weekend, or you need to go on your jog, we have a little intro teaser interview between the two of us coming out that's gonna talk about how to break into cyber security and how we broke into cyber security and it'll be an all around good time so check that out tomorrow or sunday whenever we get to uploading it and thanks [00:16:32] d0gesp4n: Thank you!

Guest of this appointment is Horacio Cherniavsky co-founder in 2017 with his work and life partner, Viviana Pozzoli, of Equipo de Arquitectura, a young studio based in Asunción, Paraguay. They are both practicing and teaching architects and, despite the young age, have already developed a number of brilliant works, receiving significant recognitions: selected by the Latin American Architecture Biennial 2019 to exhibit their work in Pamplona, Spain, they won with UHP Synagogue one category of the XXI Pan-American Biennial of Architecture of Quito, Equador, finalist with another work Caja de Tierra, winner of the Frame Awards 2019 as Small Office of the Year, finalists of Architectural Review Emerging Architects Awards 2020, they have been chosen by ArchDaily as one of the Best New Practices of 2021. Their projects, mainly result of winning local and international competitions, have been extensively published by architectural magazines and digital platforms. Criteria for responsibly building and deep respect for the context in its pre-existence inform their conceptual approach and realisations, celebrating an affordable architecture socially accessible and suitable to the harsh conditions of their subtropical climate.Our conversation starts, trying to understand the complex and difficult historical vicissitudes of Paraguay, a country of magical beauty, remained for long time ‘the periphery of the periphery', experiencing poverty and cultural isolation, and we continue deepening the aspirations of a generation of Paraguayan architects, to which Equipo de Arquitectura belongs, driven by desire to preserve, feed and evolve a tradition, aspiring to a social and cultural transformation. A movement based on affordability, self-sufficiency and the creative exploration of a limited palette of materials. Horacio traces back his first experiences, leading him to the specific choices that characterise his practice, explaining what it means to be coherent with the principles embraced in a country undergoing rapid expansion.A quote of Louis Kahn, “The sun did not know how great it was until it hit the side of a building”, and a basic equation, “Dreams + Necessity + Available resources” introduce with originality and poetry Earth Box, their 45sqm workspace, an extremely beautiful presence, a dream materialised around two trees, incorporated, as always, with reverential respect into the development, where light is the element that intensifies and shapes space. The naked walls of the monolithic structure in the colour of red clay are built of rammed earth, a traditional technique, perfectly responding the climate conditions and offering several other advantages above the superb integration with the natural context and the unique atmosphere and textural experience that reserves.Its physicality seems to perfectly satisfy a wish that Juhani Pallasmaa expresses in ‘The Eyes of the Skin', ‘re-sensitize architecture through a sense of materiality, hapticity, texture'. This ‘primordial architecture', as Horacio defines it, allowing to appreciate colours, smells, to stimulate experiences related to our senses, has inspired the creation of the suburban block of the Child Care Center, a place rich of patios and vegetation, as the architect informs, conceived to mould a sensitivity since early childhood, ‘where kids learn by playing and play to learn'. Openness and porosity are characteristics that imbue all the firm's architecture and a constant dialogue between natural and artificial, emphasised by minimising architectural interventions, is a fundamental axiom nurturing daily life in all their residences, as the ‘Patios House' and the 'Intermediate House' well demonstrate. Art, music, philosophy, literature and film are often used by Horacio as references to support and illustrate his interventions, and focusing on KingFish, a small project that is an authentic showcase of different use of material and construction possibilities about recycling, results particularly interesting the reference to the ‘Shadow Sculptures' of the two artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster, assemblages of rubbish, scrap metal that, backlit, project amazing silhouettes and profiles, an extremely original and important message about the beauty that ‘waste' can reserve, if used with creativity and competence.Our conversation concludes reflecting on an inspiring, brilliant work, the Synagogue at the Hebraic Union of Paraguay, realised following an international competition's winning proposal, an impressive transformation of an old existing construction, reached through few precise gestures and few materials expressed in their true nature and most authentic strength.

SDN has been a great solution for large enterprise, but what about the SMB market? Pat Saavedra – Founder & CTO at RabbitRun Technologies Inc. explains to Don Witt of The Channel Daily News, a TR publication, that with the major shift of the work force to work-from-home, the convenience of the home network now needs to become a quality business network. Pat Saavedra How does one achieve that goal? The first thing is to establish a stable network.  This is accomplished with critical tests and monitoring. Next prioritize the traffic. Business traffic first, then public traffic and last would be the utilities of Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin. This helps provide QoS. In addition to the main internet connection, an alternate internet connection is provided via a 4G LTE Wireless back up which can be used in two ways. While supporting multiple networks as in load balancing, it can also be used as a failsafe backup to the primary network. They saw that the Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) customers were underserved by SD-WAN solutions and that this market segment needed just as much digital transformation & quality networking as an Enterprise company. Their mission is to innovate and deliver Small Business SD-WAN solutions with Enterprise level performance and features that transform applications and services using the Internet.

Minisode 52 Why Keep A Small Office Footprint Lessons from a 18000 sq ft office with $75000 monthly overhead. Group and specialized youth classes are amazing but why would he have chosen to have a smaller place but more expensive fee office footprint. So today's show, masters of fitness Episode 42 is bigger, better. Their interview a man who has a million dollar gym, 18,000 square feet, that's huge is in the DC area. And we just they pick his brain. And so let's go over some of the highlights today. Okay, stay tuned to the end, I'll tell you about if he had to do it over what he would do. We'll talk about care packages, visit packages, that's been working. But first, he definitely says look, you want to be a mentor. All right, if somebody younger than you or just doesn't have the experience you have I'll ask you questions. Think about it, maybe offer them some advice. You don't know where they are. Maybe you were in a spot where you needed a mentor, and maybe somebody was nice enough to give it to you. And I'm not saying you gotta you don't have to charge them. You know, we just It feels good to help other people. Right? Of course Be careful the leeches, but you know General, it can help spark someone overcome their own obstacles. And as they say, when you teach somebody, it really solidifies what you know. Alright, so the downside, we all want a plus employees to have ownership that just really love the vision that you have and want to see you grow in the practice grow, okay, but the thing is, most people, they don't care. Right? You know, they don't care if they make the boss more money, they just want a job. And of course, as the owner, you expect a lot out of your employees, probably more than they actually want to give. So there's that balance of how do you get the most out of your employees without driving them away? And how do you get them motivated to take ownership in the in the clinic that you have? Now, the second piece, he said, You know, when you're out on your own as a personal trainer, you know, in this instance, or maybe as a new doctor, you might not have the confidence or the skill level or the problem or to the confidence to command the higher fees. Okay. So you might will indeed, oh, let's Do a $29 initial exam. Let's let's do 50% off eyeglasses, oh, I don't know this, this and that. But like in the gym world, there's always these deals, you know, especially for personal training, maybe you charge $75 an hour, but I just read in the heat this month or a new, I'ma just charge them 55. And if they buy like a package of 10, or something like that, and then my gosh, there's so much more work and you get kind of burned out because you're not getting paid for what you know, you should be worth ends up, just bite you in the butt. They say, between you not making enough money and then if you have to end up raising the fees and they get upset or maybe they're like a troublesome client, and you're like, dude, you got a good deal and you're this much trouble like What in the world? So, one of the things he had it was he got an office manager, and they she was streamline thing is like you gotta stop giving deals. The price is the price. Especially if like they refer somebody and they get a different price. They might feel cheated, like wait, I paid I was paying 50 this guy's paying 49 right, so anyway, so everybody gets upset. All right. Next up, the sexy beast is pro athletes. All right? Oh, you know, Jerry Rice, who is Drew Brees? Yeah, let's let's treat these guys. Well, here's the thing. A lot of these people are, it's seasonal, right? It's a seasonal thing. You get the hot time and the low time. Now if they make it Pro, they probably have their own doctors on staff and they don't want to see you. Secondly, they might think it's a privilege for you to treat me I'm not paying, think of all the referrals that you're going to get if they let you take a picture with them.

FAR 108 Expected Air Date: 01/15/17 Opening: Back by popular demand, we are going to discuss again today the 85 ways to make money in real estate. There are sub-categories and sub-sub tactics and methods, but these are the 85 major ways. We tried for a list of 100, but after 85 we were repeating ourselves. This time around we are organizing the ways a bit. Here’s a helpful insight: Although there are 85 ways to make money, they all fall into one of five categories: Active Buying and Selling Buying and holding for cash flow and equity development Passive investing through lending or equity share purchases.

Ron, Jacksonville, FL “Did I hear you say it’s a bad idea to buy a rental property from a full-service company that provides the rented house for you and financing if you need it?” Deann, Atlanta, GA. “I go through the process you have described and end up with a maximum offer far less than the price the seller is asking. Should I just go ahead and make the offer? It seems like possibly a waste of time - both mine and the sellers.” If an individual from your marketing, sit down and show them the numbers. Then make the offer. Tony’s illustration of the tow truck... If a bank or a HUD house, make the offer. Max, Chattanooga, TN “Please go over how many offers I need to make in order to buy one house per month. It doesn’t seem like I have enough time to do this part time.” Sharon, Clearwater, FL “I appreciated so much what you shared on the show last Saturday. My husband and I retired to Clearwater in 2006 and took our life savings and invested in real estate here. We thought we couldn’t miss, but boy did we ever. We lost almost everything. Your words were very encouraging. We’ve been trying to get re-started but both had to go back to work part-time to maintain our modest lifestyle here. We are still interested in real estate, but need some guidance on how to get started.” Topics: Eighty Five Ways to Make Money in Real Estate   There is overlap and many of them are similar. Some items are more of a source for deal flow than a separate strategy. We create another item if the skill set or knowledge required is significantly different. None of them will be radically different, but each area or source has a different twist. This was the topic for show number 80, but we have taken the list a little further and deeper by grouping the list into five broad categories: Active Build or Repair and Sell. Items will fall into this category if you buy with the intent of adding value by any means (not always repairs) and re-selling within one year. Active Buy and Hold. These are investments made with the intent to create cash flow. Passive. You put up the money and it creates income for you. No tenants, toilets, contractors. Just the money. Marketing. This includes all real estate related marketing jobs, which is more than simply being a Realtor Vendor. Provide goods or services to real estate investors and the real estate community.

We often talk about doing the "work" of compliance. Some people seem to have the attitude that all I need to do some is annual staff training and hand out a Notice of Privacy Practices to do small office HIPAA compliance. When we try to explain there is more to it than that we often get pushback about the requirements. We always hear comments like: we don't have time, we don't have resources, we can't be expected to do this. So, how DO you do small office HIPAA compliance? Today we are going to talk to someone who is definitely doing the work of HIPAA compliance in a small office.  We are doing an interview with Erien Fryer of Medical Direct Care in Clarksville, TN to discuss small office HIPAA compliance issues, obstacles, and how to just get it done.

When President Obama outlined his jobs plan, small business figured prominently in the speech. An entrepreneurial spirit is a core element in a strong small business climate, but other factors have helped to keep small businesses viable.
