            <title>Octopus service suspended!</title>
            <link>http://breakingsecurity.net/announcements/octopus-service-suspended-</link>
            <description>Due to lack of time and the very big amount of work necessary to keep the service running for all customers, I have decided to stop Octopus sales for a while!&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yui-non&quot;&gt;I think it is the best thing to do for now since, as a single person, I am unable to fastly respond to everybody's updates requests.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yui-non&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Updates will be sent to customers who already bought their licence and sent money already, but sales are closed from now on!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yui-non&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Please do not send me other money from now on because I am going to be busy with bigger projects.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yui-non&quot;&gt;I don't know yet when I'll resume sales, I'll keep the website updated with new announcements, as always.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Regards</description>

            <title>Octopus service delays</title>
            <link>http://breakingsecurity.net/announcements/octopus-service-delays</link>
            <description>Hello,&lt;br&gt;as some customers noticed, for the last 3 weeks I am having difficulties in keeping service running at full speed, replying to emails and providing updates is taking longer than usual. I didn't even have time to announce the release of version 2.1 yet (released on 1 march)&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yui-non&quot;&gt;This is because this period I had less time to dedicate to the job while still getting tons of emails and requests, but in particular some annoying AVs are forcing me to study and recode a lot of stuff before being able to produce a FUD stub, and this is taking away a lot of time.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yui-non&quot;&gt;So, if you are waiting to get a reply or an update, just be patient until I fix these new detections and I will get back to you as soon as possible!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;Customers who already sent funds will receive the software in some days, and, if I don't manage to do the job within about a week, they'll get refund!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yui-non&quot;&gt;Thanks for your patience&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;</description>

            <title>Octopus back in action :)</title>
            <link>http://breakingsecurity.net/announcements/octopus-back-in-action-</link>
            <description>Actually service has been partially resumed for some weeks now. But I didn't announce it publicly. Why not? Because I got too many emails and requests to answer them all already.&lt;br&gt;Octopus sales are opened to old and new customers, just note that it may take few days for me to reply to your email!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yui-non&quot;&gt;Cheers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

            <title>Octopus v2.0.7</title>
            <link>http://breakingsecurity.net/announcements/octopus-v2-0-7</link>
            <description>New version 2.0.7 done!&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yui-non&quot;&gt;This&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;includes a customizable execution delay function, as requested by some customers. This will run the payload after the specified amount of time. The only action performed before the delay is MessageBox function, if activated. All the other functions such as file execution / dropping, downloader, spreader etc. will be performed after the delay.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It has been added also a size adder function: with this you can increase the size of the output file by a custom number of kilobytes / megabytes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://breakingsecurity.net/resources/Octopus/Octopus_Misc.png&quot; style=&quot;width:325px;&quot; class=&quot;yui-img&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

            <title>VKL Private goes 3.1.1</title>
            <link>http://breakingsecurity.net/announcements/vkl-private-goes-3-1-1</link>
            <description>I added the function to compress keylogger file (using mpress).&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yui-non&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;Size of VKL Private version:&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yui-non&quot;&gt;Uncompressed: 72 KB&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yui-non&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Compressed: 26 KB&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Compressed keylogger remains fully working and cryptable like the original.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In addition to this, now screenshot capture interval is not limited anymore between 5-120 minutes, but you can set the interval you want without limits.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Cheers</description>

            <title>Viotto KeyLogger Private version update</title>
            <link>http://breakingsecurity.net/announcements/vkl-private-updates</link>
            <description>Hey guys,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yui-non&quot;&gt;it has been more than 1 year that I haven't put hands on my Keylogger code, but why change something that already works great? Unless for trying to make it even better, of course, but you don't wanna do like Facebook developers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yui-non&quot;&gt;Actually even if the public version of Viotto Keylogger did not need any update since it seems to work flawlessly, I made today an update to the private version, from 3.0.3 to 3.1.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Some customer in fact reported me an error which happened sporadically when copying/pasting text to/from clipboard. Now it should have been fixed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yui-non&quot;&gt;Also, option to disable/enable clipboard logging has been added. In previous private versions, clipboard was always logged without the option to disable this function.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yui-non&quot;&gt;VKL customers should be able to get the update directly from their builder, just open it and an update popup message should appear.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yui-non&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yui-non&quot;&gt;Regards&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

            <description>Hello,&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yui-non&quot;&gt;I advice my customers to take note that I will be offline from 7 to 13 september for vacations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;For same reason, my activity will be reduced during the 1st week of september; this means that I will continue to support my old customers, but new customers may have to wait to get replied.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yui-non&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yui-non&quot;&gt;Regards&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;</description>

            <title>Advice to crypter users</title>
            <link>http://breakingsecurity.net/announcements/advice-to-crypter-users</link>
            <description>What I'll write here is obvious for many, but there is anyways people who don't know it and distribute their files to antivirus companies for&amp;nbsp;themselves.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is what you must not do. I already replaced many stubs for free even if it was customers fault since obviously they didn't know, but ignorance will not be an excuse from now on. Customers will have to pay to get a replacement stub if they don't follow rules below:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yui-non&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Do NOT use&lt;font style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 0); &quot;&gt; VirusTotal&lt;/font&gt;, &lt;font style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 0); &quot;&gt;Anubis&lt;/font&gt;, and similar services to scan your files. It has been known for years that these services distribute your file among the antivirus industry. Use only safe services where you are sure that your file will not be distributed, such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://scan4you.net&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;color: rgb(64, 127, 0); &quot;&gt;scan4you.net&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yui-non&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Before even downloading stubs to your computer, make sure that the functions in your security software (if present) which send new files to their company are disabled. For example, if you have Nod32, make sure that ThreatSense.net is disabled.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&amp;nbsp;Regards</description>
