ZDI, a brand owned by security firm Trend Micro, is making the move because of what says is a “disturbing” decrease in patch quality and a rise in vague communications about patches. The impact on enterprises is that they can’t accurately estimate the risk to their systems and they’re wasting money on applying incomplete patches that are re-released down the track and need re-applying a second time around. ZDI’s standard disclosure timeline gives software vendors 120 days to release a patch, but it’s now introducing shorter timelines for “failed patches” that it will be monitoring....

Introduction Securing URL is the process of concealing or encrypting a parameterized query string-based URL such as www.xyz.com/login.aspx?uid=ajay&pawd=09876 by applying complex C#.NET cryptography. The moment a URL is requested from the server, internally we determine the required parameters, then encrypt the query string values where sensitive information is typically located, redirect them to another source for further processing, and then decrypt the encrypted query string values there, if necessary. In this whole process, the URL always shows some bizarre values in the query string that are safe from the malicious hacker’s eyes because it is very hard for him to figure out what exactly is travelling across the network via the query string....
