Exploit tools are publicly available for phpMyAdmin

There are 2 exploits on phpMyadmin posted in the last 20 days on public forums for exploiting the bug from March 2009 described here: www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/security/PMASA-2009-3.php.

Suggested advice is to re-verify that your phpMyAdmin is patched and also not accessible to the general Internet to prevent future exploitation of unknown bugs.

Green Dam (Safte Software or unsafe itself)

Some blogger posted the testing result of the China monitoring software named "Green Dam".

Check the video and see what happens. The Univeristy of Michigan also analyzed the software


Apache HTTP DOS tool

The tool basically uses a concept of keeping an HTTP session alive indefinitely (or as long as possible) and repeating that process a few hundred times. So in my testing, against an unprotected and lone Apache server, you can expect to be able to take it offline in a few thousand packets or less on average, and then you can let the server come back again as soon as you kill the process. It is similar to the TCP attack without closing the session and let the server waiting..

Some blogger posted the test result:

his affects a number of webservers that use threaded processes and ironically attempt to limit that to prevent memory exhaustion - fixing one problem created another. This includes but is not necessarily limited to the following:

* Apache 1.x
* Apache 2.x
* dhttpd
* GoAhead WebServer
* Squid

There are a number of webservers that this doesn't affect as well, in my testing:

* IIS6.0
* IIS7.0
* lighttpd

It is named "Slowloris HTTP DoS", actually it is a perl script.

perl slowloris.pl -dns example.com

Requirements: This is a Perl program requiring the Perl interpreter with the modules IO::Socket::INET, IO::Socket::SSL, and GetOpt::Long. Slowloris works MUCH better and faster if you have threading, so I highly encourage you to also install threads and threads::shared if you don't have those modules already. You can install modules using CPAN:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install IO::Socket::INET'
perl -MCPAN -e 'install IO::Socket::SSL'
