It works by hijacking a browser as it’s trying to access web pages and forcing it to visit a malicious web page, rather than the page the target intend to visit. The attackers can then surreptitiously download malware onto the target’s machine from the rogue web page." Interesting but I am sure it is only in rare cases! And besides we are talking about the NSA. I mean real hackers would not have access to his stuff right? "But now security researchers with Fox-IT in the Netherlands, who helped investigate that hack against Belgacom, have found a way to detect Quantum Insert attacks using common intrusion detection tools such as Snort, Bro and Suricata." Well I will be darned what will those techies think of next! Git hub link to the snort code. Edited May 2, 2015 by atiustira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
