Facebook works with Google, Yahoo and mozilla on secure session cookie

Facebook works with Google, Yahoo and Mozilla on secure session cookie

After turning on https connection for facebook users, now facebook is working with Google, Yahoo and Mozilla on a secure session cookie specification that will protect session cookie from theft even over non-encrypted connections. This new specification is MAC Access Authentication that provide cryptographic verification for certain portions of HTTP requests. Here MAC is Message Authentication Code. this prevents MAN IN THE MIDDLE attack.

Facebook told developers in a post detailing recent changes to its app platform, "We’re working with Yahoo!, Google and Mozilla on this specification in order to give all websites a way to ensure that session information has not been altered or tampered with". Facebook also asked developers to use SSL connection for apps by october.
Recently facebook user data was leaked by some app tokens vulnerability, so facebook is forcing all developers to use SSL. Every time the facebook got some trouble, app is the reason. So facebook is trying each and every possible way to secure it's users from scams and data theft.

Ncrack - High-speed network authentication cracker

 

Ncrack is a high-speed network authentication cracking tool. It was built to help companies secure their networks by proactively testing all their hosts and networking devices for poor passwords. Security professionals also rely on Ncrack when auditing their clients. Ncrack was designed using a modular approach, a command-line syntax similar to Nmap and a dynamic engine that can adapt its behaviour based on network feedback. It allows for rapid, yet reliable large-scale auditing of multiple hosts.


Ncrack's features include a very flexible interface granting the user full control of network operations, allowing for very sophisticated bruteforcing attacks, timing templates for ease of use, runtime interaction similar to Nmap's and many more.

Ncrack was started as a "Google Summer of Code" Project in 2009. While it is already useful for some purposes, it is still unfinished, alpha quality software. It is released as a standalone tool and can be downloaded from below.
