Idappcom's July Exploit Traffic File Updates Include Latest Adobe Flash Vulnerabilities

Ludlow, United Kingdom, August 5, 2015 (Newswire.com) - ​Traffic IQ is an advanced penetration testing tool which is used to assess the threat response capabilities of network security sensors including firewalls, IDS/IPS, routers and switches. Each month Idappcom researchers publish the latest live exploit traffic files to add to the TIQ library, which ensures that the threat response tests reflect the most up to date vulnerabilities. In addition, TIQ users and Snort rule subscribers are able to download and apply the relevant rules to prevent a successful exploit typically within a month of the exploit becoming public and usually significantly ahead of the security vendors themselves. TIQ users can select from an extensive range of application exploits as well as SCADA, Backdoors, DDoS, Security Evasions, Standard Protocols and Malware traffic. The latest batch of file updates include seven of the current Adobe Flash exploits together with the associated Snort rules to enable detection. Simon Wesseldine, Idappcom's Chief Security Officer commented "Although there have been many new Flash vulnerabilities released by Adobe in the recent weeks, we haven't really seen evidence of a shift away from the delivery mechanisms being used. We are not saying don't be vigilant and fully recommend downloading the latest version of Flash Player as soon as possible, but maybe we should not be going into such of a meltdown over this. Of all the PoCs that idappcom have worked with recently, the Flash documents all show evidence of a different attack method being used against Flash, but the Internet browser delivery methods have been similar. We already have Snort rules in the library, going back over a year that will catch such anomalous behaviour within an Internet Browser, but the latest addition will help to further protect the network where Flash is currently widely used."
