Iran's cyber intelligence swamped

Iran's cyber intelligence swamped:

Iran's cyber Intelligence forces are
focused on mostly Iran's domestic
problems.

Even most of their OSINT arm is has been
transfered to tracking and researching internal
threats.

They have lost much of their indepth OSINT
division and they all are running almost
3 days behind real time collection.

I just read the speech and the author is doing genius work.

In the areas he spoke about he had clear, out side the box

action programs and cutting edge paradigms.

Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence

Dr. Donald Kerr.

In reviewing his speech he made several key points.

His central theme was counterintelligence.

He had a remarkable insight into the sub prime debacal.

"It's harder today in this interconnected world that we're all part of. We like to think we're

networked without boundaries. I think we've all just seen in the last few weeks that

globalization really has happened. We only need to watch what's gone on in the financial sector

to be reminded of that.

And those who would point back at the United States and say, well, if you hadn't securitized all

of those sub-prime loans, none of this would have happened around the world. Well, each

morning we wake up and find out other people bought into the same things, did the same things,

were driven by the same urge for high returns, and began to disregard the connection between

value and risk in ways that they shouldn't have.

Now, do we know how to fix it? That I don't know."

We do know remove sub-prime deretivates from the money markets. G

He stated; "Henry Ford once said, "There's nothing new, only the history you don't know." And when you

focus on computer security and cyber attacks, that's probably a place where Henry Ford is right;

we don't know the history there yet."

And he pointed out some of our high risk areas.

"But in fact our economy has subtly changed over the

last two decades. And where we were once a manufacturing economy, we're today in fact very

much a service economy. I'm not sure what the balance is today; there's still a lot of

manufacturing in the United States, but in fact an awful lot of the value added in our economy

today is in services and in information that we haven't foreseen before.

It changes the game when we think about threats because we're not thinking about protecting

high-value facilities in the same way we were. And in fact, you could argue some companies

don't have high-value facilities and fixed assets; what they have is intellectual property."

Unprotected assets:

Kerr continues: "tell me what counterintelligence

really means in the 21st century, that what we need to do is think about the changes in our

economy, how that's reflected in our society and how that in turn leads us to think about how to

best protect the most vital assets of our country.

Have we crafted the right strategies to do that? I'd say it's work in progress. What are the most

dangerous threats that we're going to face in the next three to 10 years? We're still getting a

picture of that. If you had asked, for example, 12 months ago would we have had a financial

crisis as we're having today, I don't think any of us in the room – well, maybe there's at least

one person – would have predicted that, but I certainly wouldn't have."

In Jan 2008 Internet Anthropologist Think Tank reported "

Paradigm Intel, and inductive reasoning indicates the possibility of a Global monetary cash flow problem. Currently focused on short term liquidity, it has the momentum to spread.""

He says;

"So it's fine to focus on government capabilities, but we also have to focus on those out there in

our economy perhaps tied to university research programs, tied in some cases to large companies

that take equity stakes. Or, looking into the audience I can't help but mention our own In-Q-Tel

within the intelligence community, where we in fact take equity stakes in companies developing

technical products that can be used for intelligence purposes. We are not writing contracts to get

them to do a special project for us; we're in fact taking an equity stake to be the first user in the

marketplace and be two or three years ahead of the competition in taking advantage of that.

We have a responsibility, however, to help those companies, either the ones that we take an

equity stake in, or those that are just out there in the U.S. economy protect the most valuable

resource they have, their ideas and the people who crate them. I think that's going to put a new

face on counterintelligence over the next few years as we realize that the real value added in the

U.S. economy is in fact not just within the government sector but in fact within the private sector

where in fact it's supported significantly more than by government R&D investments."

He focuses on a key initiative:

"It's an important problem, and we're going to make a lot of progress protecting .mil and .gov.

And we just took care of maybe 2 percent of the most important information that's out there.

The rest of it's out in .com. So how do we think about that? How do we make available what

we learn trying to protect .gov and .mil, to that broader set of folks who need to protect their

valuable information as well?"

Maybe a civilian counterintelligence service, one that can monitor the entire WWW for any interest in 

the .com. Some one who has demonstrated the ability to track al Qaeda cells and their actions .

That can take out cyber attacks before they happen , A think Tank that can track and trace Taliban terrorist hackers ,

That has bot surveillance units , That has an expert OSINT collection capablities, and can operate in the gray areas of the Internet.

And not violate anti-hacking laws.

A counterintelligence service that can tell your Corporation who is surveilling, tracking you, what countries and groups

show an unwelcome interest in your company, A type of world wide recon for your company.G

We, Internet 

Anthropologist Think Tank does all this very well. Counterintelligence for your company.

Kerr points out, "Well, it seems today if a lot of the assets of the company are tied up in intellectual property – if

you will, intellectual capital"

Internet Anthropologist Think Tank can provide a "Trip Wire" that covers the world, and gives you an early warning system, advance notice of unwanted interest in your company.

THE CYBER THREAT TODAY

Comments in Caps By Gerald:

THE CYBER THREAT TODAY Major Attacks on the Rise
10/17/08
One case in point: We joined our international partners yesterday in announcing a major takedown of a transnational criminal network that was buying and selling stolen financial information through an online forum known as “Dark Market.” Cyber crooks scared G “The business of the United States is done on the Internet,” said Henry, a veteran cyber crime investigator. And the information that flows electronically 24/7 is increasingly the target of not only identity thieves and scammers, but organized crime groups, terrorists, and overseas governments. “There are a number of countries who have an interest in stealing information from the United States,” Henry said, explaining that as many as two dozen nations have taken an “aggressive interest” in penetrating our networks. In the past year, he added, “the malicious activity has become much more prevalent.” Malicious activity could come in the form of attacks that deny access to websites, that compromise sensitive information, or that introduce “botnets” that spread viruses and covertly co-opt computers to carry out data theft. “There are a number of countries who have an interest in stealing information from the United States,” Henry said, explaining that as many as two dozen nations have taken an “aggressive interest” in penetrating our networks. New groups of hackers—virtual gangs—are a growing threat as well, banding together to pool their expertise and carry out coordinated cyber attacks. Henry pointed out that in years gone by, if a gang wanted to rob a bank, it needed crooks with various skills—safe cracker, get-away driver, look-out, etc. That’s essentially what we’re seeing in the cyber world today, only these virtual gang members have never met in the physical world. “There are organized groups that are very successful,” Henry said. The 3 Ps. To address the rising threat, the Cyber Division has a threefold strategic plan—“Prioritize, Proactive, Partnerships.” By prioritizing our efforts, we can go after the most critical threats. Being proactive means adopting the same time-tested investigative techniques that have been so successful in our physical crime investigations—the use of informants, electronic surveillance, and placement of undercover agents to penetrate and dismantle virtual criminal operations. SIGH: THEY ARE USING INVESTIGATIVE TECHNIQUES THEY DEVELOPED IN THE 19TH CENTURY, TO FIGHT A CRIMINAL PARADIGM DEVELOPED IN THE 21ST CENTURY. AND HAVE A BACKLOG OF 2 MILLION COMPLAINTS.G. The third “P”—partnerships—means building even stronger relationships with law enforcement agencies worldwide. He said we’ve worked with such countries as Great Britain, Canada, Russia, and Turkey to swap best practices and techniques. We’ve also sent agents to Romania to work with law enforcement there, leading to nearly 100 arrests in cyber crime cases representing “tens of millions of dollars” in losses, Henry said. And the Internet Crime Complaint Center, or IC3—a partnership between the FBI and the National White Collar Crime Center—continues to assist state and local law enforcement in fighting cyber crime. Since its establishment in 2000, IC3 has received more than a million complaints. In the last couple of years, there’s been an “uptick” in the number of reports, according to Henry. Lately, they’re coming in at the rate of nearly 20,000 per month. AND RECOVERY RATE FOR THE 20,000 COMPLAINTS A MONTH IS CLOSE TO ZERO, VICTIMS GET ZIP, NO SEIZURE OF MONEY OR ASSETS.G. THE FBI HAS NOT RECRUITED THE ADVANCED, CUTTING EDGE HACKER THEY NEED BECAUSE THEY FEEL THEY CAN'T CONTROL THEM. ALL FBI AGENTS STILL DO NOT HAVE A COMPUTER. THEY DO USE BLACKBERRYS NOW, A GENIUS MOVE THAT ALLOWS THE FBI TO REACT ALMOST INSTANTIOULSY TO EMERGENCYS. AND THEY ARE SETTING UP COMPUTER CENTERS MANNED BY SOME GENIUS HARD WORKING AND DEDICATED PEOPLE. BUT THE FBI LIKE THE MILITARY VIEW THE INTERNET AS A SECURITY RISK AND ARE STILL UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE WWW. THE FBI IS NOT APPLYING ADVANCED INTERNET SURVEILLANCE OR INTERDICTION METHODS. USA RESPONSE TO CYBER WAR HAS BEEN ONE OF STATIC DEFENSES. USA HAS NO OFFENSIVE CAPABILITY. USA HAS NO UNIFIED PARADIGM FOR THE WAR ON CYBER CRIME OR CYBER TERRORISM. IN FACT THE USA IS OVER WELMED BUY THE INFLUX OF CYBER CRIMINALS, AND HACKING METHODS, AND NEW CYBER TECHNIQUES. USA IS BEING BUTCHERED PIECE MEAL BY CYBER CRIME, CREDIT CARD THEFT, ID THEFT, PHISHING INFO, AND ADVANCED HACKING METHODS. THE FBI SAYS THERE ARE MILLIONS OF COMPLAINTS ON RECORD ABOUT CYBER CRIME. USA IS VIRTUALLY DEFENSLESS AGAINST THE RUSSIAN BUSINESS NET OR THE MILLIONS OF BOTS THE CHINESE HAVE. CYBER CRIME AND TERRORISM ARE ON THE SAME VECTOR AND IN TIME WILL JOIN TOGETHER. THE ENTIRE WWW IS AT RISK, OF BEING SHUT DOWN FOR MONTHS BY MILLIONS OF BOT NETS. THE TECHNOLOGY IS AVAILABLE TO TURN THIS AROUND, AND ALLOW THE USA TO DOMINATE THE WWW LIKE THE AIRFORCE DOMINATES THE AIR, ANY WHERE, ANY PLACE ANY TIME. IF ANOTHER AIRFORCE IS ATTACKED BY THE US AIRFORCE THEY RUN OR DIE. IN CYBER SPACE THE USA IS ONE OF THE JUICYEST TARGETS, AND ONE OF THE WEAKEST PLAYERS. THE FBI HAVE NO CYBER SIDEARMS. THE AIRFORCE STARTED A CYBER FORCE JUST TO DROP IT. AND NORAD HAS MUMBLED SOMETHING ABOUT CYBER SPACE BUT HAVE ISSUED NO MISSION STATEMENT. USA IS NOT A FORCE TO BE FEARED ON THE INTERNET. USA IS AN EASY TARGET. THE WHITE HATS THE FBI IS PARTERENING WITH ARE NOT CUTTING EDGE, ARE NOT HACKERS, THEY ARE A REACTIONARY FORCE. USA HAS BEEN BEHIND THE CURVE ON INTERNET CRIME FOR 10 YEARS, THEY HAVE NEVER GOT OUT IN FRONT OF IT. THE TATICS OF THE RBN AND HACKERS CAN BE TURNED AGAINST THEM. NO ONE IS THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX, NO ONE HAS A EFFECTIVE PARADIGM, THE TOOLS NEEDED TO STOP THIS CRIMINAL AND TERRORIST FORCE ARE THERE. THE INTERNET IS NOT ONLY A VECTOR FOR ATTACK ON USA, BUT ALSO AMERICAS WEAPON AND MOST POWERFUL TOOL. USA HAS THE TOOLS TO DOMINATE THE WWW, STOP BOT ATTACKS IN THEIR TRACKS. PART OF THE NEEDED PARADIGM IS TO MOVE INTO THE CYBER AGE. TO REMOTELY SEARCH COMPUTERS IN SECRET, AND TRACK PERPS IN THEIR TRAVELS ACCROSS THE INTERNET. READ THEIR EMAILS AND IM. TO TRACK AND INFILTRATE ANY ONE IN THE WORLD FROM ANY PLACE IN THE WORLD. YOU DON'T NEED AGENTS ON THE GROUND. THEIR HARD DRIVES CAN BE ERASED OR EVEN CRASHED. THERE ARE SO MANY OPTIONS THAT ARE NOT BEING USED, AND WEAKNESSES OF CYBER CRIMINALS NOT BEING EXPLOITED. DRAINING THEIR BANK ACCOUNTS, PUBLISHING THEIR MESSAGES, EXPOSING THEIR NAMES. CREATING CYBER BATTALIONS, FORCES OF THOUSANDS OF CYBER TRAINED TROOPERS. USA IS MIA IN THE CRIMINAL CYBER WAR. WE HAVE TRACKED CYBER CRIMINALS TO THEIR LAIRS. GOTTEN THEM ARRESTED, PROVIDED THE EVIDENCE, ONLY TO HAVE THEM BAILED OUT AND BACK AT CYBER CRIME THE NEXT DAY, WE SAW THEM AT WORK ON THE INTERNET CAFE SECURITY CAMS, AND OUR CLIENTS GOT ZERO RECOVERY. THE RATES FOR INFECTION AND MALWARE AND TAKE OVER OF COMPUTERS IS AT AN ALL TIME HIGH, AND OUR SECURITY, ANTI-VIRUS, FIREWALLS, SWEEPERS, BLACK LISTS AND ROOTKIT HUNTERS ARE AT AN ALL TIME INEFFECTIVENESS. THE CYBER CRIMINALS ARE WINNING THE CRIMINAL WAR. AND THE TERRORIST KNOW THIS. FORCASTING THE CURRENT PARADIGM INTO THE FUTURE DOES NOT BODE WELL FOR THE USA. USA'S WEAKNESS IS VISABLE, IN A DOMAIN USA INVENTED. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO MOVITATE USA INTO EFFECTIVE ACTION? USA NEEDS A Manhattan Project FOR THE INTERNET.

COUNTERPOINT:

The FBI on Friday boasted that its two-year long undercover operation against users of the crime forumDarkMarket netted 56 arrests worldwide and prevented $70 million in economic losses, publicly acknowledging the sting for the first time.

"In today's world of rapidly expanding technology, where cybercrimes are perpetrated instantly from anywhere in the world, law enforcement needs to be flexible and creative in our efforts to target these criminals," said FBI Cyber Division Assistant Director Shawn Henry in a statement. "By joining forces with our international law enforcement counterparts, we have been, and will continue to be, successful in arresting those individuals and dismantling these forums."

British police say they've arrested five DarkMarket users in recent days, and 11 since the sting began in late 2006. The other arrests have been in Turkey, Germany and the United States, according to the FBI. Spokesman Brian Hale said the feds won't be going into more detail. "We have released all the information in that release that we're publicly going to discuss at this point in time," said Hale.

DarkMarket allowed buyers and sellers of stolen identities and credit card data to meet and do business in an entrepreneurial, peer-reviewed environment. It had 2,500 users at its peak, according to the FBI. 

Documents uncovered by a German radio network on Monday first revealed that DarkMarket had been secretly run by an FBI cybercrime agent for the last two years, until its voluntary shutdown earlier this month. The leader of the site, know online as Master Splynter, was in fact FBI cybercrime agent J. Keith Mularski, part of an elite seven-agent cybercrime unit based at the National Cyber Forensics Training Alliance in Pittsburgh.

Director of National Intelligence: cyber threat

Director of National Intelligence: misses WMD cyber threat

The following Op-Ed by Melissa Hathaway, Cyber Coordination Executive for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, was published by the McClatchy-Tribune News Service on Wednesday, October 8, 2008:

Safeguarding our cyber borders

By Melissa Hathaway – Op-Ed – McClatchy-Tribune News Service

London shoppers who bought groceries with bankcards over the last two years paid a higher price than they bargained for.

Cyber thieves had implanted unauthorized circuitry in keypads sold to supermarkets in the Barking and Dagenham area of the British capital. The corrupted keypads were then used to capture account information and Personal Identification Numbers (PINs). The data were siphoned off and used to skim from or in some cases empty shoppers' bank accounts.

The thieves covered their tracks by encrypting the numbers they stole, then storing them on a computer server abroad. It took more than a year for the authorities to catch on.

Stories such as that aren't only sobering news for consumers. For folks charged with securing and protecting the nation's defense and intelligence infrastructure, however, increasingly sophisticated cyber assaults are a chilling -- and increasingly familiar -- challenge.

The same devices that thieves use to sneak into bank accounts, the same techniques that hackers use to disrupt Internet service or alter a digital profile, are being used by foreign military and spy services to besiege information systems that are vital to our nation's defense.

Because defense and other national security contractors share data and systems with their government partners, an attack on one can be an attack on many. Plans are only as secure as the weakest link in the information chain. These days, those links are being tested as never before.

The attackers' goals fall into three categories:

• Information theft. Stealing data from a target personal device, system or network is the most common threat. For example, a disgruntled Boeing employee was charged last year with lifting more than 320,000 sensitive company files by using a thumb drive to tap the corporate system. Boeing estimated that the stolen documents would have cost it between $5 billion and $15 billion in lost revenue had they been given to competitors.

• Information disruption. Hackers who sneak into government systems and alter crucial operating data are a growing concern. In 2006, a disgruntled Navy contractor inserted malicious code into five computers at the Navy's European Planning and Operations Command in Naples, Italy. Two computers were rendered inoperable when the program was executed. Had the other three computers been knocked offline, the network that tracks U.S. and NATO ships in the Mediterranean Sea and helps prevent military and commercial vessels from colliding would have been shut down.

• Information denial. Cases in which private or government computer systems are shut down by floods of automated hits are also on the rise. In April 2007, Russian nationalists used such a ''distributed denial of service'' attack to block access to the networks of the Estonian parliament, the president's office and many of that country's banks, news organizations and Internet service providers.

The ''What Ifs'' are an even greater concern. Could an adversary insert erroneous data that would cause weapons, early warning systems and other elements of national security to fail at critical times? What if financial or medical records were altered, or rail or air traffic control systems were corrupted? What if malicious code were secretly installed during the manufacture or shipping of computer equipment, to be activated at some future date? How would we even know what threats we face?

Cyber WMD
By Gerald: Internet Anthropologist Think Tank
Oct. 14,08
The Director of National Intelligence office misses the biggest threat, a cyber WMD.
They are ignoring the best and cutting edge technologys, technologys that are being used by the Russian Business Net,and the Chinese civilian hacker forces.

First the WMD.
An attack that takes out ALL Internet nodes, the RBN has the technology and the Chinese have the hackers and bots,add to that a few crucial Internet cable cuts in the high seas, and you have a net, the WWW DOWN.

And the worlds finanical systems knocked to the levels of 1940's, no Internet, no cell phones, no ATMs.
And if you can bring the WWW backup all the bots are still on line and running to take it back down. The technology is available to take out bot attacks world wide, if USA prepares ahead of time and is willing to think not only outside the box but outside the room.
The Military needs its own WWW NOT connected to the civilian WWW.
But who would do this kind of suicide attack, someone who understands and uses suicide attacks, terrorists.
Or a nation that believes the in coming of the 13th Imman, driven by the apoplectic vision of world destruction and the final Imman, Iran.

Iran will push the button

Once again a military force is preparing
to fight the last cyber war, not readying for the New WMD
Cyber paradigm.

Cyber crooks scared, weeping in their beer.

In the next few months we will see mass arrests of cyber crooks around the globe.

As DarkMarket.ws turned honey pot bares fruit.

Hackers retreating, scrubbing drives, getting off the net and on the run.

Many are collectiong evidence on others as a bargining chips to plead for lower or no sentenances.

Hackers don't do well in prison.

Project DarkMarker will put a nice dent into ID theft, and may provide some good leads into RBN.

For the past two years the FBI has been logging thousands of IPs of rhackers, cc theives, and buyers.

The site offered a quality control fuction. A chance to check the quality of your product, and get a rating

for the quality of your stolen cretdit card numbers stc, so the FBI has a sample / Evidence of most transactions. The would even boot off crooks with fake cc numbers.

Like Shadowcrew and earlier sites, DarkMarket lets buyers and sellers of stolen identities and credit card data meet and do business, in an entrepreneurial, peer-reviewed environment. Products for sale run the gamut from specialized hardware, to electronic banking logins collected from phishing attacks, stolen personal data needed to assume a consumer's identity ("full infos") and credit card magstripe swipes ("dumps), which are used to produce counterfeit cards. Vendors are encouraged to submit their goods for review before offering them for sale.

Dejected denizens of the forum absorbed Tuesday's news with disappointment. "I was waiting for this, the worst news of them all," wrote a poster called Ms. Gold. "I don't really know what to say nor am I in your shoes to give a real view. There must be another solution to the problem. Do we just let them win?"

"Now it would be too difficult to conduct business," wrote Iceburg. "Darkmarket was our bridge to business and if that bridge is broken than business is broken ... Long live carding and cashing. Short live all the RATS and FBI and all stupid secret agencies who are not just ruining our lives and families but they are destroying everything we left behind!"

DarkMarket has enjoyed a solid reputation among users for effectively weeding out "rippers" who steal from other crooks.

UPDATE:

 the FBI reports that, for the first time ever, revenues from cybercrime have exceeded drug trafficking as the most lucrative illegal global business, estimated at reaping in more than $1 trillion annually in illegal profits. ....Cybercrime Inc. Keeps Growing

In August, 11 defendants were formally charged in last year's high-profile T.J. Maxx data breach in which more than 45 million accounts were compromised over a couple of years. The defendants included three U.S. citizens as well as citizens of the Ukraine, Estonia, Belarus and the People's Republic of China. What's become clear to investigators and security experts alike is that organizations perpetrating these kinds of attacks are not only increasingly global, they're becoming nimbler, smarter and more efficient at wreaking havoc on company networks and profiting from their illegal activities. They have names like the Russian Business Network, Gray Pigeons, and Honkers Union of China. And they're growing—in numbers, power and reach.

"What we've seen is really a deep stratification of electronic crime into a growing, prosperous and responsive economy, with a number of specialty organizations, syndication and deepening organization of peers, both within a vertical skillset and across the entire enterprise of electronic crime," said Peter Cassidy, secretary general of the Anti-Phishing Working Group, a nonprofit organization dedicated to counteracting cybercrime. "Increasingly, we see this is turning into big business."........

Scott Henderson, a former U.S. military intelligence analyst with a specialty in the Chinese cyberthreat, said that there are about 280,000 to 300,000 individual hackers in China belonging to about 250 cybercrime organizations.

Quality Assurance in Malware 

Surprisingly, while opportunistic cybercriminals have long embraced themalware as a service model, and are offering managed lower detection rate services for a customer's malware, or DIY ones where the customer can take advantage ofpopular tools ported to the Web, others are still trying to innovate at a faddish market niche - multiple offline AV scanners tools aiming to ensure that their malware doesn't end up in the hands of vendors/researchers.
