WP Enemies in Our Midst

It’s not a question of if your organization will be breached. It’s a question of when.

Most attackers remain active in environments for a significant amount of time before being discovered. And only a small percentage of organizations discover the presence of advanced attackers themselves—most need to be informed by law enforcement or a proactive third-party security firm. By then, an attacker could do a great deal of damage.

A compromise assessment answers the all-important question: Have you been breached?

SAP Solutions—High Availability on SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications

Modern SAP systems, running critical workloads, have to meet the highest standards for availability of their SAP services. SAP already comes with some basic redundancy mechanisms out of the box. However, for a full high availability, SAP relies on third-party, high availability cluster solutions, that are designed to cover all components in the SAP solution stack that could fail and cause an interruption of the SAP services. The protected components include for example the SAP NetWeaver software, SAP databases, the network, server hardware and the underlying storage systems.

WP Synful Knock

SYNful Knock is a stealthy modification of the router's firmware image that can be used to maintain persistence within a victim's network. It is customizable and modular in nature and thus can be updated once implanted. Even the presence of the backdoor can be difficult to detect as it uses non-standard packets as a form of pseudo-authentication.

The initial infection vector does not appear to leverage a zero-day vulnerability. It is believed that the credentials are either default or discovered by the attacker in order to install the backdoor. However, the router's position in the network makes it an ideal target for re-entry or further infection. Read this Whitepaper to learn more.
