CLICK JACKING ATTACK

Written By TAC Team on Tuesday 23 July 2013 | 09:48

Definition

"Clickjacking is a malicious technique of tricking web users into revealing confidential information or taking control of their computer while clicking on seemingly innocuous web pages."

Introduction

A vulnerability across a variety of browsers and platforms, a clickjacking takes the form of embedded code or script that can execute without the user's knowledge, such as clicking on a button that appears to perform another function.
The long list of vulnerabilities involves browsers, Web sites and plug-ins like Flash."

How It Works?

ClickJacking is a little bit difficult to explain however try to imagine any button that you see in your browser from the Wire Transfer Button on your Bank, Post Blog button on your blog, Add user button on your web-site, Google Gadgets etc.

ClickJacking gives the attacker to ability to invisibly float these buttons on-top of other innocent looking objects in your browser.

So when you try to click on the innocent object, you are actually clicking on the malicious button that is floating on top invisibly.

In other words, the attack is thrown by a malicious web page embedding objects, possibly from a different site, such as framed documents or plugin content (Flash, Silverlight, Java…) which may lead to unwanted results if clicked by the current user (e.g. a “Delete all messages” button in your webmail or an advertisement banner in a click fraud scheme). Using DHTML, and especially CSS, the attacker can disguise or hide the click target in several ways which go completely undetected by the user, who’s easily tricked into clicking it in a more or less blind way.

JavaScript increases the effectiveness of these attacks hugely, because it can make our invisible target constantly follow the mouse pointer, intercepting user’s first click with no failure.
We can however imagine a few less effective but still feasible scriptless scenarios, e.g. covering the whole window with hidden duplicates of the target or overlaying an attractive element of the page, likely to be clicked (e.g. a game or a porn image link), with a transparent target instance.

Examples

  • Malicious camera spying using Adobe's Flash.
  •  Flash, Java, SilverLight, DHTML Game or Application used to Spy on your Webcam and/or Microphone.
  • The best defense against ClickJacking attacks is to use Firefox with the NoScript add-on installed.

HOW TO FIND YOUR WINDOWS 8 PRODUCT KEY

Written By TAC Team on Monday 15 July 2013 | 09:50

Extract Your Lost Windows 8 Key From the Windows Registry




As you may be finding out, perhaps half way through reinstalling Windows 8, you must have your product key to continue the installation. Windows 8, as well as most operating systems and other software, require the entry of unique product keys, or sometimes serial numbers, during installation.

Your Windows 8 product key should be with the email confirmation you received after buying Windows 8 for download, or with your packaging if you purchased it in a retail package. If Windows 8 came preinstalled on your computer, your product key should be on a sticker on your computer or with your documentation.

Fortunately, if you can't find documentation of your Windows 8 product key, you may be able to extract it from the Windows Registry using a program called a product key finder.

Follow the steps below to find your Windows 8 product key using one of these tools:

Important: A product key finder program will only find your valid Windows 8 key if Windows 8 is installed and working, and if you've manually entered the Windows 8 product key in some previous installation. See my Windows Product Keys FAQ and Key Finder Programs FAQ pages for more information.

Difficulty: Easy

Time Required: Finding your Windows 8 product key should take less than 15 minutes
Here's How:
Download Belarc Advisor, a free PC audit program with full Windows 8 support that also functions as a key finder tool. Unfortunately, manually locating the Windows 8 product key in the registry isn't possible so you'll need to use a program like this.

Note: Any product key finder that advertises support for Windows 8 will work for either edition: Windows 8 or Windows 8 Pro.


Install Belarc Advisor, following whatever instructions are given during the installation.

Note: If you choose a different keyfinder, please know that some are supported by optional add-on programs so be sure to uncheck those options during the program's installation if you don't want them. A few of them require no installation at all.


Run Belarc Advisor (the initial analysis may take a little while) and note the Windows 8 product key displayed in the Software Licenses section.

The Windows 8 product key is a series of 25 letters and numbers and should look like this: xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx.


Write down the Windows 8 key exactly as shown for use when reinstalling Windows 8.

Important: Make sure each and every letter and number is written exactly as shown. If even one digit isn't transcribed correctly, the key won't work to reinstall Windows 8.
Tips:
If you need to install Windows 8 but wasn't successful finding your Windows 8 product key with a product key finder program, you have two more choices:

You can request a replacement product key from Microsoft or you can purchase a new copy of Windows 8, which will of course come with a new and valid product key.

Requesting a replacement Windows 8 product key is going to be much more cost effective than buying an entirely new copy of Windows 8, but you may have to do that if the replacement doesn't work out.
