Here some of the new features of Repscan 3.0:

• Support for MS SQL Server (2000, 2005, 2008)
• Extremely user-friendly database configuration wizard (screenshot)
• Flexible tree control (re-group databases by status, hierarchy, …) (screenshot)
• Database security browser with drill down functionality (PDF, XLS, … export) (screenshot, screenshot)
• New reports (performance, used_features, …)
• Data Discovery (SSN, PII, Creditcard, Passwords, …)
• Database Enumeration (custom, NMap support) (screenshot)
• Pentest Features (Guess SID, Check default username/password combinations, …)
• Exploit & Code Library (screenshot)
• Version and Patch Information
• Skins

Here some (old) features of Repscan:

• Password plugin architecture
• Password plugins for Oracle DES, SHA1, OID, APEX, OVS
• Commandline features
• PL/SQL Source Code Analysis Report

Here some statements of Repscan 3.0 users:

“Repscan Rocks”, “I must have this tool.”, “Very cool stuff”, “really like the clean interface… checks are great”, “…tend to be more Oracle security information hub than just scanner :-)”

Over the next  few weeks I will show here more details of some Repscan 3.0 features.

If you want to test Repscan 3.0 you can download it from our exclusive distributor Sentrigo

Sumit Siddarth (Sid) has just published a really good whitepaper about “Hacking Oracle from the Web“.This is the most comprehensive published collection of different techniques for attacking Oracle from the web. Sid spent a lot of time composing the different techniques mentioned in various presentations and whitepapers.

Sid describes various techniques like data extraction (inband techniques like union or error messages, out-of-band techniques like heavy queries, blind, …), privilege escalation (sys.kupp$proc, dbms_repcat_rpc and dbms_export_extension)  and OS code execution.

Well done Sid.

Today Eric Maurice from Oracle Global Product Security released an interesting article about “Ensuring Critical Patch Update Quality“. He explains the entire test process,  timeline (e.g. 15 weeks before the CPU is released the fixes will be selected), ….

This time I am writing this blog entry as a victim…

My data (including my creditcard number) was stolen from the website elance.com. 24 hours later my creditcard number as abused. Luckily the criminals did a test booking for approx. 1 USD (in a webshop in the US) and the fraud detection team from Mastercard immediately locked my creditcard.

Here the short history:

Last friday, 18 July 2009, I received an email from Elance.com:
We recently learned that certain Elance user information was accessed without authorization, including potentially yours. The data accessed was contact information — specifically name, email address, telephone number, city location and Elance login information (passwords were protected with encryption). This incident did NOT involve any credit card, bank account, social security or tax ID numbers.

We have remedied the cause of the breach and are working with appropriate authorities. We have also implemented additional security measures and have strengthened password requirements to protect all of our users.

We sincerely regret any inconvenience or disruption this may cause.

If you have any unanswered questions and for ongoing information about this matter, please visit this page in our Trust & Safety center: http://www.elance.com/p/trust/account_security.html

Thank you for your understanding,

Michael Culver
Vice President
Elance

I thought: “Good to know that this happened. My creditcard information is not affected.”
20. july - Monday morning:  I tried to buy some gasoline. This was not possible because my card was not accepted: “Errorcode 02” . I payed with a different card and called the lufthansa mastercard service. They explained me that someone tried to buy something for 1 USD in Arizona and Mastercard has locked my card…

I will get a new creditcard within the next few days.

20. july - Noon: At home I read the email from elance again and I was really pissed off (passwords encrypted and not hashed) that they lied in the previous email. Send an email to elance.com (ticket#20836) and asked for details of this break-in. No answer so far…

will be continued….
