Mike over at the research lab gave me a link to a Fiesta exploit pack he found running. Fiesta is an exploit pack sold for around $850 on the black market and contains around 25 different exploits. It contains many exploits however the exploit that is most effective in this pack is the Adobe PDF exploit.
The exploit pack is used to provide “loads”. This is slang for malware distribution. What will happen in practice is, webmasters of high traffic sites (mainly porn etc) send traffic to a certain page on another server, example: (
blah123.com) This might be done in an Iframe. The victims browser will then iterate through a series of exploits, to see if they are vulnerable to any of them.
