HTML5 Features Efficient for Web Exploit Obfuscation: Researchers
Some of the features introduced in HTML5 can be used to obfuscate web-based exploits in an effort to increase their chances of evading security solutions, according to researchers.
Researchers from the University of Salerno and the Sapienza University of Rome in Italy have used three different techniques to obfuscate exploits like the ones usually leveraged in drive-by download attacks. Based on their experiments, the experts have determined that functionality provided by HTML5 can be highly efficient for malware obfuscation.
The purpose of this blog is to help small-medium businesses (SMB's) deal effectively with their unique cyber security needs. With over 15 years experience in IT and cyber security I will show SMB's how they can leverage their limited resources to develop effective cyber defenses to the most common threats using information security best practices and no/low cost tools.
