360 blockchain security evaluation
Recently, Vulcan team of 360 company found a series of high-risk security vulnerabilities in EOS, a blockchain platform. It is verified that some of the vulnerabilities can remotely execute arbitrary code on EOS nodes, that is, they can directly control and take over all nodes running on EOS through remote attacks
In the early morning of May 29, 360 reported this kind of vulnerability to EOS official for the first time, and assisted it to repair the security risks. The person in charge of the EOS network said that the EOS network will not be officially launched until these problems are fixed
EOS super node attack: the virtual currency transaction is completely controlled
in the attack, the attacker will construct and publish a smart contract containing malicious code, and the EOS super node will execute the malicious contract and trigger the security vulnerability. The attacker then uses the super node to pack the malicious contract into a new block, resulting in the remote control of all nodes in the network (alternative super node, exchange recharge withdrawal node, digital currency wallet server node, etc.)
because the system of the node has been completely controlled, the attacker can "do whatever he wants", such as stealing the key of the EOS super node and controlling the virtual currency transaction of the EOS network; Obtain other financial and privacy data in the participating node system of EOS network, such as digital currency in the exchange, user key stored in the wallet, key user information and privacy data, etc
What's more, an attacker can turn a node in the EOS network into a member of a botnet, launch a network attack, or become a free "miner" to extract other digital currency

It was reported on May 29 that recently, Vulcan team of 360 company found a series of high-risk security vulnerabilities in EOS, a blockchain platform. It is verified that some of the vulnerabilities can remotely execute arbitrary code on EOS nodes, that is, they can directly control and take over all nodes running on EOS through remote attacks
the hidden dangers of blockchain network security need to be paid attention to
EOS is a new blockchain platform known as "blockchain 3.0". At present, its token market value is as high as 69 billion yuan, ranking fifth in the global market value
in the blockchain network and digital currency system, nodes, wallets, mines, exchanges and smart contracts all have many attack surfaces. 360 security team has found and exposed several serious security vulnerabilities for digital currency nodes, wallets, mines and smart contracts
this time, the 360 security team found a series of new security vulnerabilities in the smart contract virtual machine of EOS platform, which is a series of unprecedented security risks. No security researchers have found such problems before. This type of security problem not only affects EOS, but also may affect other types of blockchain platforms and virtual currency applications
360 expressed the hope that through the discovery and disclosure of this vulnerability, the blockchain instry and security peers will pay more attention to the security of such issues, and jointly enhance the security of the blockchain network

we first upgraded the virus library, and then began to test its anti-virus performance: We used the sampling method to test, and collected a total of 126 virus sample files, including multiple virus types. The result of the test is: a total of 126 virus samples, 360 security guards investigated 118 threats, of which 115 can be cleared, and 3 files cannot be cleared
maybe we can't make an intuitive evaluation just by looking at such data_ So we tested several other anti-virus software at the same time and summarized them:
from the above, we can see that 360 anti-virus can successfully clear 115 virus samples, and the results are OK, but there are still 11 samples that can't be processed, so the anti-virus performance must be further improved; If compared with other software, the processing level of 360 antivirus on virus samples can only be considered as the lower middle level
viewing speed
what is the scanning speed of 360 antivirus? We use it to scan a 1.43gb directory, which contains 283 files. The test result is time-consuming. As a result, you may think that the test time is too long, but some of these files are compressed files. 360 antivirus will perform penetration scanning on them, so the test result time is not abnormal. Similarly, we also compare it with several other antivirus software:
from the above, we can be surprised to find that the speed of 360 antivirus is much slower than other antivirus software, but this is not the case. One thing needs to be explained: because the scanned directory contains compressed files, and 360 antivirus scans compressed files very carefully, Therefore, it takes a long time to detect the virus
in the test, most of the files scanned by other anti-virus software were more than 20000, while the number of 360 anti-virus software reached 72778. However, if you pay attention to the observation, when the number of files is 25000, 360 antivirus takes about 4 minutes, which is more than other antivirus software
memory usage
here, we are surprised to find that 360 antivirus takes very little memory resources, especially when scanning, its memory usage is far less than other antivirus software. This is very praiseworthy, very suitable for users with limited memory resources
from the above evaluation, it can be said that 360 antivirus is a good antivirus software. We can't help asking: did 360 grow up overnight? In fact, it is not a proct developed by Qihoo 360 itself, but uses some functions of BitDefender. Although it only uses some functions, not including the network firewall, but compared with the charging BitDefender security package, the free 360 antivirus has real-time monitoring and virus killing, which is very worthy of use, enough to ensure the daily computer security
comments: it seems that "no good goods for free" can not be used to describe free procts in the future
there is still one step to go: system comprehensive physical examination
360 security guard version 5.0 adds automatic detection settings, which can display the current system vulnerabilities, software vulnerabilities, bad comment plug-ins, system garbage and other situations on the software home page, and can detect all security risks without any manual operation. In addition to providing the above "physical examination report", the new version of 360 security guard also marks the "physical examination index" of the current system with an asterisk, so that we can more intuitively understand the status of the system
for the situation in the physical examination report, we can click the corresponding button function to solve it. This is a good new function, compared with the old version has a great progress, can let us open the software to quickly understand the main security situation of the system. However, there is an imperfection in this function, which makes its ease of use still one step short: since the physical examination has been carried out automatically, we still have to press the button one by one in the face of various medical conditions. Why not provide the "one click solution" function?
