Once you are ready, click on the Send button. It may take a few hours to complete the operation depending on the file size and your internet connection. Only P2M will know to decrypt the password and your friends can use it to gain restricted access to the web-mail account without knowing the real password. If a user logged in to either Walla, Gmail or Yahoo with an encrypted password, Peer2Mail limits his permissions on the account. This is done so he wont be able to delete files, change the password or any other settings on the account.
To encrypt a password click on the browser tab and click on the orange key button. This way the password will only work on secured servers. SSL servers encrypt the transportation of data between your computer and the server, so it will be impossible to intercept the password while its being transmitted to the server. Jan 8, 2. You lost me at. Jan 8, 3.
Jan 10, 4. Jan 10, 5. Do you think this really deserved a sticky? When I access the Password property, it returns SecureString. This is shown here. Hmmm, what if I look at the members of SecureString?
I pipe it to the Get-Member cmdlet, and I see the following members. AppendChar Method void AppendChar char c. Clear Method void Clear. Copy Method securestring Copy. Dispose Method void Dispose , void IDisposable. InsertAt Method void InsertAt int index, char c.
RemoveAt Method void RemoveAt int index. SetAt Method void SetAt int index, char c. It does. This is promising. I can at least write code that checks the length of the password and provides some sort of feedback to users regarding the length of the password they supply. It could be rather a cool solution. The following illustrates the output. This latest representation is a string, and therefore there are no more options available for decrypting the password—at least, none that are very direct or easy to use.
The solution, is to go back to the PSCredential object itself. It has a method that is designed to help with the exact scenario. I need to provide credentials to a legacy type of interface that does not know how to handle a PSCredential. Therefore, I need to be able to get both the user name and the password in an easy-to-use and easy-to-digest manner.
UserName Domain. GetCredential Method System. NetworkCredential GetCredential uri uri, str…. I see the password has a SecureString for the SecurePassword property, but there is also the Password property that is a plain string. If I need only the password, I simply retrieve the Password property as shown here. By the way, I can also get the password length here. Passwords were generated for each file as it was archived. Then the passwords themselves were encrypted.
These variants were built and executed hours after the first attempt. The malware was spread manually by the attackers, using RDP and stolen credentials. A ransom note, Hello Message. The wording and formatting is nearly identical to REvil gang ransom notes, and threatens data exposure if the ransom payment is not made.
Unlike REvil, however, the demand for payment was in Bitcoin, and the Memento actors offered a payment schedule for decryption: Unfortunately for the Memento actors, all that extra work did not pay off as planned. The victim did not negotiate with the ransomware actors. Thanks to backups, the targeted organization was able to restore most of their data and return to somewhat normal operations.
Additionally, for systems that were running InterceptX, the endpoint detection and response system logged the commands used by the attack to archive files—along with the unencrypted passwords for the files. SophosLabs and Sophos Rapid Response were able to recover select files for the victim and provide a method for recovering any files not backed up. Having effective backups of network data is critical to recovery from a ransomware attack. And that could have long-term ramifications for the company.
By keeping a low profile, modifying timestamps on files and wiping logs of telltale signs of compromise, they were able to evade detection for an extremely long time and fully explore the network. The extent to which RDP services were enabled throughout the network made hands-on-keyboard lateral movement throughout the network much easier, further reducing the signature of their intrusion.
At the time of the initial compromise, the vCenter vulnerability had been public for nearly two months, and it remained exploitable up to the day the server was encrypted by the ransomware attackers. Unfortunately, smaller organizations often lack the staff expertise or time required to stay on top of new vulnerability patches outside those automatically deployed by Microsoft.
And many organizations are unaware of the degree of risk associated with software platforms they use that may have been installed by a third-party integrator, contract developer or service provider.
Correction: This report originally noted the deployment of SOTI remote control software as part of the ransomware attack. Previously, Gallagher was IT and National Security Editor at Ars Technica, where he focused on information security and digital privacy issues, cybercrime, cyber espionage and cyber warfare. He has been a security researcher, technology journalist and information technology practitioner for over 20 years.

Second verse, slightly different than the first Undeterred, the Memento attackers switched approaches.
