Juniper BGP issues causing locallized Internet Problems
We're starting to get reports (thanks to both Branson and Darryl) that a Juniper OS bug with BGP, combined with some specific BGP updates today, are resulting in some key internet routers being DOS'd due to high CPU loads. We'll post more data as it comes in.

Stuff I Learned Scripting - Evaluating a Remote SSL Certificate
I find that the longer I work in this field, the more scripts I write. Solving a problem with a script might take a bit longer the first time, but the next time you see the problem it takes seconds to resolve (assuming you can find your script back, that is). This is illustrated so well (and so timely) here ==> http://www.xkcd.com/974/
But I'm not here to sell you on scripting, or on any particular scripting language. This story about neat stuff I've learned while scripting, tid-bits that I wouldn't have learned otherwise that I hope you find useful as well.
Recently I had to assess if a remote windows host was using a self-signed certificate, or one issued by a public or a private CA (Certificate Authority). The remote host was a VMware vCenter console, but that's not material to the script really, other than dictating the path.
Easy you say, use a browser! Sure, that's ONE easy way, but what if you've got 10 others to assess, or a hundred? Or more likely, what if this is one check in hundreds in an audit or assessment? It's at that point that the "this needs a script" lightbulb goes off for me.
In this case I "discovered" the windows command CERTUTIL.EXE. Typing "certutil -?" will get you pages of syntax of the complex things that this command can do, but in this case all we want to do is dump the certificate information. Since the server is remote, let's map a drive and query the cert:
>map l: \
>certutil -dump "l:\programdata\vmware\vmware virtualcenter\SSL\rui.crt"
O=VMware Installer
O=VMware, Inc.
>psexec \\%1 -u %2 -p %3 cmd /c certutil -dump "%allusersprofile%\vmware\vmware virtualcenter\ssl\rui.crt" | find "CN="
CN=VMware default certificate
These show that the certificate is the Default cert, installed by the VMware Installer.
depth=0 /O=VMware, Inc./OU=VMware, Inc./CN=VMware default certificate/emailAddress=support@vmware.com
verify error:num=20:unable to get local issuer certificate
verify return:1
depth=0 /O=VMware, Inc./OU=VMware, Inc./CN=VMware default certificate/emailAddress=support@vmware.com
verify error:num=27:certificate not trusted
verify return:1
depth=0 /O=VMware, Inc./OU=VMware, Inc./CN=VMware default certificate/emailAddress=support@vmware.com
verify error:num=21:unable to verify the first certificate
verify return:1
0 s:/O=VMware, Inc./OU=VMware, Inc./CN=VMware default certificate/emailAddress=support@vmware.com i:/O=VMware Installer subject=/O=VMware, Inc./OU=VMware, Inc./CN=VMware default certificate/emailAddress=support@vmware.com issuer=/O=VMware Installer
DONE
Oh - and can you please pass the salt ?

distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
