It is a bit cliche but we can’t help it. All of us at goHost are excited about 2012! We worked hard behind the scenes in 2011 laying the ground work for some new things we have in store this year.
In the coming weeks expect to see a number of new services, upgrades, and enhancements to our existing services. We have a lot of things in the pipeline and will be rolling out changes slowly at first. Many of the new services will be focused on helping all our customers get and stay secure in the cloud.
As we grow our service offerings, please share with us your thoughts, concerns or even any ideas.
Thank you all for your support and we look forward to working with you in 2012.
Security Reasearchers have discovered a long standing vulnerabilty in many popular web application languages that can lead to a denial of service (DoS) attack. Most programing languages including PHP, Java, Python and ASP.NET are vulnerable to this HashDos vulnerabltily.
A denial-of-service attack (DoS) overloads the server with multiple requests, effectively making it unable to serve a website to new visitors. Usually such an attack strong enough to overwhelm a server requires a lot of horsepower on the attacker’s side. This vulnerability however makes things significantly easier for an attacker.
Microsoft has released an emergency/out-of-band update (KB2659883 and MS11-100) to mitigate this issue in ASP.NET and .NET Frameworks.
All our Windows Server systems have already been patched with MS11-100.
Researchers recently presented their research at the 28c3 Security Conference. The specific details relate to hashing algorithms and managing hash collisions. A specially crafted request can force a website to consume all CPU resources in an effort to resolve and manage the hash collisons. The net effect of this increased CPU load can lead to a DoS on the website.
Without fixing the core hashing algorithims and functions there are a number of workarounds that can be used to mitigate the impact of the HashDos vulnerability.
These workarounds may negatively impact the operations of your web application and should be reviewed and tested before being deployed into a production enviroment.
