Introduction
Redkit Exploit known as malware (malicious software) that initially noticed back in between March and April 2012. [1] This exploit kit was has not an official name, so the researcher who discovered it called it Redkit due to the red coloring of its pages. [2] The developer of this private kit decided to promote this kit as a simple banner, and when potential buyer clicked on the banner, they were redirected in to page which required jabber account. [2] After submitting this information, they will receive a link to access of the exploit kit. [2]
Figure 1. Admin panel RedKit [2]
Logging into to admin panel presents us with options and functions which are typically used by other common exploit kit, such as function that allow us to check the statistics for incoming traffic, upload a payload executable and even the malicious binary will be pre-scanned it with no less than 37 different antivirus vendors in order to ensure the malicious kit has a low detection rate before serving it into unsuspecting end an corporate users. [2]
As soon as the malicious URL get recognized and blocked by most security vendors in the first 24 to 48 hours, the exploit kit developers also provide an API that produces a fresh URL every hour. [2] So any customer of this exploit can set up an automated process for updating the traffic sources every hour or so to point to the new URL. [2]
At the beginning, to deliver the malware, RedKit exploits two bugs: the Adobe Acrobat Reader LibTIFF vulnerability (CVE-2010-0188), and the Java AtomicReferenceArray vulnerability (CVE-20...

...archers have been tracking these infection, they noticed that URLs to exploit landing pages are very inconsistent. [7] Here are some examples:

The RedKit authors cleverly used the .htaccess rewrite rule so the malicious URLs can be anything they choose. That URLs doesn’t have any pattern but the filename will always contain .htm(l), .php, or .asp(x). [7]
Distribution
RedKit has been infected a large number of compromised web server over the past view months. A breakdown hacked hosting server by the countries is shown bellows:

These servers are split across several ISPs and server platform:

It is an attack by our best friends, …… and these attacks on mostly in randomly generated user name sites it was easy to short.
The red tree by Shaun Tan is all about depression. Shaun Tan wrote this book so the readers and viewers know what it is like with depression. The last picture is the book is when the girl is in her room with the tree uses lots of techniques including body language for an example the smile on the girls face which means she might feel happy agian and her gazing up to the tree. It would make the auidence feel happy as the girl found something to make her happy as some days beign with nothing to look forward to.

Vulnerability scanning is an automated process that is conducted by an organization’s IT staff to identify any vulnerability that their information systems might possess and used to help “secure your own network” (Bradley). It is also used by hackers that are conducting reconnaissance on an organizations network to find any vulnerability that they might exploit. These next few pages will provide information on vulnerabilities, the many different forms of vulnerability scanning, the different types, pro’s and con’s, and costs.

At the Aim Higher College there have been recently discovered malware on the campus systems that are due to many recent attacks. I used an Anti-virus protection software called AVG on the computer systems on campus and ran a whole computer scan. The results came back very quick of numbers of malware being high and medium priorities that these should not be taken lightly. Furthermore, the scan found many viruses, Trojans, and malicious software and applications.
The heartbleed bug the worst bug the Internet has ever seen. For more than two years now the heartbleed bug has exposed anyone with a Yahoo, Amazon, Google, Facebook, and Pinterest account. Even Obama’s health care website healthcare.gov has urged its enrollees to change their passwords due to the heartbleed. The heartbleed bug is a hole in the software that is designed to turn your personal information into random strings of numbers and letters.This allows hackers to take advantage of the computer use to see if you are still online, they call this the heartbeat extension. This heartbeat signal can force your computer to give secret information that is stored in your computers memory. The websites that use this software usual have a padlock image in the address bar.
Poison Ivy is the name given to a family of malicious remote administration Trojans first developed in 2005 and still being utilized for cyber attacks today. As a type of remote administration software, once a computer becomes infected the attacker has complete control of the computer. The most recently documented large-scale utilization of the software was during the “Nitro” attacks from July 2011 through September 2011 that targeted both chemical and defense companies for the purpose of industrial espionage (Fisher). The information security firm McAfee stated that five multinational natural gas and oil companies were successfully targeted by the Poison Ivy malware, as well as 29 other companies identified by Symantec (Finkle). These organizations lost proprietary information to the attackers, including confidential bidding plans (for the energy companies) and details on manufacturing processes and formulas (for several chemical companies).

July-Widespread deployment of DDoS attacks based on a tool known as "trinoo" via various RPC related vulnerabilities. Many of the initial deployments were done manually, with intruders carefully testing and selecting hosts.
Having first appeared in Russia in 2005, referred as Winlock, that successfully scammed over £10m from unsuspecting victims before the Russian authorities arrested 10 individuals for involvement in such hackings in 2010, however it hasn’t stop the growing number of the problem. With such profitable money to obtain, perpetrators have discovered new ways to spread the malware and to cash-in at the expense of victims.

Significance: Black hat hackers are very clever programmers but they violate computer security rules because of gaining access to other computer without authorize.
A cyber crime called 'Bot Networks', wherein spamsters and other perpetrators of cyber crimes remotely take control of computers without the users realizing it, is increasing at an alarming rate. Computers get linked to Bot Networks when users unknowingly download malicious codes such as Trojan horse sent as e-mail attachments. Such affected computers, known as zombies, can work together whenever the malicious code within them get activated, and those who are behind the Bot Networks attacks get the computing powers of thousands of systems at their disposal.
