Malware authors use a variety of obfuscation techniques to foil researchers and operate as covertly as possible on a user’s system. To that end, some of the techniques, like frequent changes of the executable (possibly daily) are designed to obstruct basic detection techniques. Often times, given a specific piece of executable code, it is not trivial to determine if the code is a piece of malware or just a random piece of software. F…
…a vulnerability with a CVSS Base score of 10 may have a way lower rating for a specific customer, depending on their environment. Related to this: keep in mind that the person tasked with running the scanner, or analyzing the results, may not have the appropriate technical background (or you may not be providing enough information — see (1)) to perform their own assessment of the actual risk of anything being reported. 4) “All animals are …

… There are two main ways malware spreads. It’s important to note that these two methods are not mutually exclusive. The first method, made famous by the Morris worm, involves targeting a network-based vulnerability; the author designs an exploit to spread his malware. Once the malware takes over a machine it then infects other machines. Every time the binary moves from one machine to another the botnet has the potential to see exponential g…

You’ve probably seen Cisco’s announcement on two new world–record setting benchmark results recently. On March 9th 2011 Cisco announced the world-record setting SPECjEnterprise®2010 benchmark results with a solution based on the UCS 4-socket servers. Cisco followed it up with industry’s first VMware® VMmark™ 2.1 benchmark results on UCS B200’s. This is another example of how the UCS portfolio allows you to optimize for a variety of consideration…
…pports iPhone, iPod Touch and BlackBerry Storm devices and measures network speeds over Wi-Fi, 3G or EDGE networks based on your location and current congestion in the network. In addition to classifying your connection speed results as web-ready, audio-ready, or video ready and comparing your results against the global average, here are just four of the improvements we’ve made: First, tests are faster — the average test takes 15 seconds…
I learned that we had a broken URL to the July 29, 2008 Mobility TV broadcast on 802.11n performance testing results, and want to give this one more shot. The video-on-demand is now available for playback at http://tools.cisco.com/cmn/jsp/index.jsp?id=78662. When you click on the link, you can jump to segments of the broadcast rather than watch the entire video. Below is a list the presentation you can segment-surf to. *Introduction -a welcome f…
…as so progressive, the term “jump to light speed” is regularly used in peoples daily vernacular. When I look back and realize Cisco just announced the Unified Computing System a year ago, and ponder the test results gleaned from our new Intel Xeon 5600 and 7500 Series based blade server and rack server products, the term “make the jump to light speed” certainly seems fitting. Three weeks ago, Cisco announced hi…
