A short while ago, Oracle released updates for both Java 6 and Java 7 in response to the critical 0-Day vulnerabilities discussed earlier this week, as well as two other security issues.

US-CERT has reported that applying Java 7 update 7 will solve the security issues as discussed at http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/636312

Last week I posted a diary about analyzing outgoing network traffic and asked our readers to comment what data sources they use when monitoring outbound connections our users establish.

Besides the sources I listed in the original diary we got quite a few comments and some good questions, so I’m combining all these in this, second, diary:

These include the lists I verified in the mean time – for more check comments in the first diary.

One of our readers, Arnim, also asked about a potentially very useful list of IP addresses belonging to remote access services such as LogMeIn, NetViewer and similar. I’m not aware of such a list but it would be very useful. Emerging Threat’s has something similar – a list of outgoing ToR nodes but that only helps you figure out if someone that visited your network used ToR. The list is available at http://rules.emergingthreats.net/open/suricata/rules/tor.rules

Thanks to everyone that submitted their comments, including Christian, Ben, Arnim, Hal, Matt, Brent and many others.
