Great Reviews!Need help setting up your website, installing Apache, PHP, MySQL, or RavenNuke(tm)?Need help customizing or designing scripts?Please contact us via the Contact Us option for further details and pricing.
The RavenNuke(tm) Team are excited to announce that RavenNuke(tm) v2.40.01 is slated to be released the week of February 7th! This release culminates months of debugging and a few enhancements. Also to be included with this release will be a minor upgrade to NukeSentinel(tm), including a complete IP2C table refresh!
Just a note as to the planned future for RavenNuke(tm). Keep in mind that nothing is ground in stone. How fast we move and how much we can incorporate in any given amount of time is solely dependent on the amount of time the RN Team (voluntary army) can devote to the project. After factoring in their family obligations, job obligations, sanity obligations (R&R), vacations, etc., they can then devote the time left to RN. Oh yes, I forgot a few other small details: eating, sleeping, and waste removal :wink:.
How can YOU help, you ask? The biggest help would be to get someone or a group of people or a company or a group of companies that use(s) RN to sponsor the future development! If there was a set/minimum amount of money allocated each month or for a set of months to be dispersed amongst the development then I'm sure that would be the incentive to work a little harder and to cut into all their extra time that they devote to other things. This would be the best and fastest way to help develop the next major release which is going to be leaps and bounds above what we have done so far.
Any takers? How about it? Anyone work for a company that uses RN? If so, please talk with your management and contact me personally at sponsorship@ravennuke.com. For an open discussion concerning Sponsorship, please use this forum:
Note:We had to move the release date out 1 week - sorry :)

Malicious Google Job Application Response
Websense Security Labs(tm) ThreatSeeker(tm) Network has discovered a new malicious spam campaign that spoofs Google job application responses. The messages look very well written and are so believable that they are probably scrapes from actual Google job application responses. Typically, spam has grammatical errors or spelling mistakes that make the messages obviously unofficial and act as red flags. The text of these messages, however, has no such mistakes, making them much more believable--especially if the target really has applied for a job with Google.
The From: address is even spoofed to fool victims into believing the message was sent by Google. The messages have an attached file called CV-20100120-112.zip that contains a malicious payload. This is where the message gets suspicious, because the contents of the .zip file have a double extension ending with .exe. The attackers attempt to hide the .exe extension by preceding it with .html or .pdf, followed by a number of spaces and then the .exe extension. The .exe file (SHA1:80366cde71b84606ce8ecf62b5bd2e459c54942e) has little AV coverage at the moment.

Firefox-based attack wreaks havoc on IRC users
Southern writes "World's first inter-protocol exploit, but not the last
Underscoring a little-known web vulnerability, hackers are exploiting a weakness in the Mozilla Firefox browser to wreak havoc on Freenode and other networks that cater to users of internet relay chat.
Using a piece of javascript embedded into a web link, the hackers force users of the open-source browser to join IRC networks and flood channels with diatribes that include the same internet address. As IRC users with Firefox follow the link, their browsers are also forced to spam the channels, giving the attack a viral quality that has has caused major disruptions for almost a month.
"Huge numbers of users of the Freenode network ended up getting banned themselves because they would click the link and then they would join the network and flood the network," one of the hackers, who goes by the moniker Weev, told The Register. "We get this huge rollover effect."

Oklahoma Tax Commission Site Compromised
Websense Security Labs(TM) ThreatSeeker(TM) Network has discovered that the home page of the Oklahoma Tax Commission Web site has been compromised with malicious script code. The heavily obfuscated code has been injected at the bottom of the page.
The injected script code goes through a series of deobfuscation techniques that ultimately take the victim computer to an attack Web site without the victim's consent or knowledge.
At the time of this posting, the attack Web site is down, but it could come back up at anytime to carry out attacks against visitors to the Oklahoma Tax Commission home page.
Websense Messaging and Websense Web Security customers are protected against this attack.

IE vulnerability offers your files to hackers
Southern writes "Jorge Luis Alvarez Medina, a security consultant working for Core Security, has discovered a string of vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer that make it possible for an attacker to gain access to your C drive - complete with files, authentication and HTTP cookies, session management data, etc.
Exploitation of the vulnerability relies solely on the ability for a would-be attacker to provide malicious HTML content from a website and to predict the full path name for the file that will be used to cache it locally on the victim's system," says the advisory Core Security published. "If the entire path name can be predicted, the attacker can cause a redirection to the locally stored file using an URI specified in UNC form and force the local content to be rendered as an HTML document, which will permit to run scripting commands and instantiate certain ActiveX controls."

PHP SEC INFO
nb1 writes "PhpSecInfo provides an equivalent to the phpinfo() function that reports security information about the PHP environment, and offers suggestions for improvement. It is not a replacement for secure development techniques, and does not do any kind of code or app auditing, but can be a useful tool in a multilayered security approach

Web Hosting
papamike writes "I have been around the technology field for 30+ years as a Network Engineer. I retired in 1996 and started a hobby on the web. Since that time I had several different web host.
Recently I was hosted on a server running a unmanaged VPS. One day out of the blue all of the websites I manage were down. I was told that the servers drive was corrupt and that the data was lost permanently. I had backups of all my data but the aggravation it caused me was too much.
So I started the process of searching for a new host when I thought of Raven's Web Hosting. I contacted Raven and in just a small amount of time I had a new host. He was great in getting me ready to go on-line. Professional courteous service has won me over. The fact that I felt I was taking care of the folks who depend on me while at the same time supporting the community. Look around, when you are truly a member of Raven's community he has everything to offer all members. Need good web hosting, it's there, how 'bout knowledgeable friendly people to answer your questions on a forum that covers just about everything. Want to keep informed on the important news about things that affect the security of applications, it's here too.
Excellent prices, good relationships with his clients and members has won me over. I can safely say that I will be a client for the long haul.
Let's all support the community that gives us so much. To design and code a secure feature rich CMS is a daunting task, but the talented RavenNuke(tm) team is highly qualified to reach their goals.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Mike (papamike)"
Note:Mike, thank you so much for this endorsement and review! And, as always, for all you do in support of RavenNuke™!
