Internet Landscape

Finally, term break when we have time to sit and reflect. Here are the latest statistics and the most comprehensive so far.  The heatmap doesn't show it very clearly but most attacks are from Taiwan which is also shown in "Top 10 Malware vs Top 10 Source Location" graph.

There is a clear correlation between number of attacks and binaries downloaded and most are targetted towards Windows machines. 

Top 10 malware are all variants of Conflicker worm... must do research on why.

CCN Day

Hey People! Sorry for the late posts! I’ll be doing the part on the Campus Care Network (CCN) Day!

Now that the term tests are over (I’m sure we did pretty okay for our first tests in TP), it’s time to have fun as we have 2 weeks of break! Well… it isn’t a break if we’re bogged down by projects, workshops and assignments now is it? Well, it’s still a break for us to rest and recover!Okay! Now back to the main topic! CCN Day was fun as it was the first time most of us were involved in a project since project work in our lower secondary years. It put to test our creativity, marketing and sales pitching skills as both classes strived to make a profit.

From what I heard, C301 spent quite a bit on the coffee machine, cakes, apple crumbles and other things. C300 also spent much on their materials, buying the many bags gummy bears, rolls of mentos and the jars. But in the end, everyone made a profit and that’s what counts! =D Now on to the pictures!

That’s all for now people! Till the next event! 

A big Welcome to DFS!!

We are back here again. The LONG awaited post is UP now! DFS orientation and Get together day (DFS +CDS)! C300 will be ON DUTY for this semester. Enjoy our update~~=) Now, I have to split it into 2 parts in this entry due to too many pictures.

Firstly, let’s welcome our fresh batch of Digital Forensics. Welcome you all!!And not forgetting myself!!=D

Let’s start with our FRESHMEN Orientation. Refresh our moments with Strangers and now becoming friends. Are you ready? Are you all excited with our post? It must be your heart telling you: Nah. Not interesting at all. So boring.” Don’t feel this way, I’ll do all my best to keep this more alive.

Our first stay over at Temasek Polytechnic was indeed a very MEMORABLE experience. Even though it was actually our first day of school, we managed to make a good number of friends when we arrived. & Not forgetting THAT NIGHT. It was eventually a very tiring night. We had a FUN FILLED experience during the night walk. Don’t you agree that that we bonded with our classes ‘VERY WELL’? & our trustable OLs (Orientation Leaders) were smart enough to make us watch horror movies before bringing us for the night walk. Well, it wasn’t really a NIGHT WALK but a MINI HORROR HOUSE! We did have some SCARED classmates who screamed their lungs out. Err ... Because OLs were dressed as GHOST S?? HAHAHAHS! However, we still appreciate the fact that our orientation leaders managed to keep the orientation an ALIVE & SUCCESSFUL one. Unfortunately, we are unable to take any photos T.T our hand phones were kept with OLs. Memories will be kept in our hearts, right?

2nd Event - Get Together Day

Moving on to our second section… Get Together day. This is the day; we get together with CDS and met our course manager to voice out our heartfelt words about our course. It means we can complain complain…

Look our course mates were doing BBQ-ing…Yummy…It’s so tempting...Feeling hungry? While looking at it without having it on your hands?Shall we have another BBQ day together, okey???

Nightfalls. Our BBQ-ing start.....

Games ON!!!Smash-ing..................

Guy, please do not drool,when looking the following 2 pictures of pretty babe..=)

Day 2

Although we were really very tired but we never failed to participate the MASS DANCE..On the floor~~

Last but not least, our last activities of the day. DRAGON BOAT~~~Row and Row….

On the second day of orientation, at 12 plus, those who volunteered for the dragon boat competition were asked to assemble outside the sports complex and were handpicked by the seniors to row. Although eventually we didn’t win anything, the experience and bonding was a better prize than the physical win! Here is our DFS class…

Internet Landscape Update

It has been a while since the last update.  It has been quite busy for us here at DFS with CCN , Graduation Ceremony etc.

Here are 2 data sets that we've collated so far...

Top 10 Malwares vs Top 10 Attack Sources in Feb 2011

We had a bit of server problem.  After reviving the server and re-running over a period of 3 days (19/4 - 21/4).  This is what we saw

Any thoughts?

Watch Where You Go...

Osama is dead, it has created more than one problem. The internet is now starting to get polluted with malicious software just waiting for the naive to download.  Read here...

Many claim that Mac OS is more secure than Windows... maybe.  But are the users of Mac more security conscious than Windows?  Malware / Virus in Mac is catching up. Read here...

Sony Playstation Network Security Breach

Have you heard about the Sony Playstation Network Breach? Beware if you use the Playstation Network.  News on the internet also mentions using Digital Forensics (tools / experts) in the investigations.  Have a read here : Playstation Network Woes...

Also here is the latest from our internet_bad_stuff research:

Weird, the attacks & binaries trends don't match.  Any takers?

Here is another one on the geolocation of the source of attacks:

Results are not too surprising or is it?
