Protect Your Data From Heart Bleed Bug

It's been a while since there was a computer security bug we all had to worry about.

Unfortunately, it seems like we may all have been facing one for two years and not even realized it.

The day before yesterday, security researchers announced a security flaw in OpenSSL, a popular data encryption standard, that gives hackers who know about it the ability to extract massive amount of data from the services that we use every day and assume are mostly secure.

This isn't simply a bug in some app that can quickly be updated - the vulnerability is in on the machines that power services that transmit secure information, like Facebook and Gmail.

We've put together the following guide to the "Heartbleed bug" for those who want to understand what all the fuss is about and how they can protect themselves.

What is the Heartbleed bug?

Heartbleed is a flaw in OpenSSL, the open-source encryption standard used by the majority of sites on the web that need to transmit data users want to keep secure. It basically gives you a "secure line" when you're sending an email or chatting on IM.

Encryption works by making it so that data being sent looks like nonsense to anyone but the the intended recipient.

Occasionally, one computer might want to check that there's still a computer at the end of its secure connection, so it will send out what's known as a "heartbeat," a small packet of data that asks for a response.

Due to a programming error in the implementation of OpenSSL, the researchers found that it was possible to send a well-disguised packet of data that looked like one of these heartbeats to trick the computer at the other end of a connection into sending over data stored in its memory.

The flaw was first reported to the team behind OpenSSL by Google Security researcher Neel Mehta, and independently found by security firm Codenomicon. According to the researchers who discovered the flaw, the code has been in OpenSSL for approximately two years, and utilizing it doesn't leave a trace.

How bad is that?

It's really bad. Web servers can keep a lot of information in their active memory, including user names, passwords, and even the content that user have uploaded to a service. According to Vox.com's Timothy Lee, even credit card numbers could be pulled out of the data sitting in memory on the servers that power some services.

But worse even than that, the flaw has made it possible for hackers to steal encryption keys, the codes used to turn gibberish encrypted data into readable information.

With encryption keys, hackers can intercept encrypted data moving to and from a site's servers and read it without establishing a secure connection. This means that unless the companies running vulnerable servers change their keys, even future traffic will be susceptible.

Am I affected?

Probably, though again, this isn't simply an issue on your computer or phone itself - it's in the software that powers the services you use. Security firm Codenomicon reports:

You are likely to be affected either directly or indirectly. OpenSSL is the most popular open source cryptographic library and TLS (transport layer security) implementation used to encrypt traffic on the Internet. Your popular social site, your company's site, commercial site, hobby site, sites you install software from or even sites run by your government might be using vulnerable OpenSSL.

According to a recent Netcraft web server survey that looked at nearly 959,000,000 web sites, 66% of sites are powered by technology built around SSL, and that doesn't include email services, chat services, and a wide number of apps available on every platform.

So what can I do to protect myself?

Since the vulnerability has been in OpenSSL for approximately two years and utilizing it leaves no trace, assume that your accounts may be compromised. You should change passwords immediately, especially for services where privacy or security are major concerns.

Meanwhile, the researchers who discovered the flaw let the developers behind OpenSSL know several days before announcing the vulnerability, so it was fixed before word got out yesterday. Most major service providers should already be updating their sites, so the bug will be less prevalent over coming weeks.

Tips From World‘s Top Most Antivirus Company

Enjoy Nortan‘s Top 10 Computer Security Tips, the following are summaries those generally regarded as the most valuable:

1. Use plain old common sense. When in doubt, err of the side of safety. Delete email attachments from people you don‘t know (WITHOUT opening them!). Beware especially aware of tempting animations on unprofessional-looking sites. Keep an eye out for strange links or attachments in Instant Messaging (IM) programs—they just might contain malicious code.

2. Still use floppies? Scan them before use. This tip is especially critical if you use floppy disks to transfer files between PCs. Always scan them for viruses and other threats before transferring their contents to any computer.

3. Label floppies—and don‟t share. Even well meaning associates can unwittingly transmit viruses, worms, Trojan horses or worse. Label your disks clearly, and ―neither a borrower nor lender be.‖ Use alternate methods for sharing files.

4. Never boot from floppy disks. This is one of the most common ways viruses can be transmitted. Always remember to remove inserted floppies before shutting down any PC; otherwise, it will automatically attempt to boot from what may already be a virus-laden disk.

5. Avoid downloading files of which you‟re unsure. Be on the lookout for files such as freeware, screensavers, games or other executable programs. Internet news groups and web sites may be full of potential threats, so be sure to scan all downloads before running them. It may be helpful to download files to a ―Scan‖ folder and then scan the entire folder‘s contents.

6. Frequently update your anti-virus software. Even the best anti-virus software isn‘t much help unless you keep it updated. New PC threats emerge daily—even hourly—and variations can often be engineered to slip by previous software versions. Most anti-virus software allows easy online updating.

7. Protect system startups. Make sure to configure anti-virus software to launch automatically and run constantly, ensuring that you‘re always protected.

8. Scan incoming email/attachments. Again, you must scan each attached file from email or IM messages—even those from trusted sources. Most PC security software automatically performs this function.

9. Don‟t automatically open email/attachments. This may seem redundant, but it‘s important. Make sure your email application doesn‘t automatically open messages (Check the program‘s Options or Preferences menus).

10. Install professional anti-virus software — and keep virus definitions up to date. Proper anti-virus and other PC security applications can scan files for unusual changes and other warning signs. This is by far the most important step you can take to keep PCs as safe and secure as possible.

Test whether your Antivirus working properly or not – EICAR Test

Have you ever wondered how to test your Antivirus software to ensure it’s proper working? Well here is a quick and easy way to test your antivirus. The process is called EICAR test which will work on any antivirus and was developed by European Institute of Computer Antivirus Research. This process can be used by people, companies and antivirus programmers to test the proper functioning of the antivirus/antimalware software without having to deal with the real computer virus which can cause damage to the computer. Here is a step-by-step procedure to test your antivirus.

1. Open a notepad (New Text Document.TXT) and copy the following code exactly onto it, and save the notepad.

X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*

2. Rename the file from New Text Document.TXT to myfile.com

3. Now run the antivirus scan on this myfile.com file.

If the antivirus is functioning properly on your computer, then it should generate a warning and immediately delete the file upon scanning. Otherwise you may have to re-install your antivirus.

NOTE: Most antivirus will pop-out a warning message in the Step-1 itself.

You can also place the myfile.com file in a ZIP or RAR file and run a scan on it so as to ensure whether your antivirus can detect the test string in the compressed archive. Any antivirus when scanning this file will respond exactly as it will do for a genuine virus/malicious code. This test will cause no damage to your computer even though the antivirus will flag it as a malicious script. Hence it is the safest method to test the proper functioning of any antivirus.
