  • David Maynor: NX: How Well Does It Say NO to Attacker's eXecution Attempts?

    04/06/2006 Duración: 36min

    NX. It's known by different names to different people. AMD calls it Enhanced Virus Protection, or EVP. Microsoft calls its support Data Execution Prevention, or DEP. After the press about how this new technology will stop hackers and worms in their tracks, many people call it a modern marvel. But this new technology has several layers of confusion surrounding it in regards to where it is implemented, how it protects and even when its on. This talk will unwrap the information while showing that at best NX is a speed bump and not a stop sign to malicious intruders. David Maynor is a research engineer with the ISS Xforce research and development team where his primary responsibilities include reverse engineering high risk applications, researching new evasion techniques for security tools, and researching new threats before they become widespread. Before ISS Maynor spent the 3 years at Georgia Institute of Technology (GaTech), with the last two years as a part of the information security group as an applicati

  • Kevin Mandia: Performing Effective Incident Response

    04/06/2006 Duración: 59min

    During the course of 2004 and 2005, we have responded to dozens of computer security incidents at some of America's largest organizations. Mr. Mandia was on the front lines assisting these organizations in responding to international computer intrusions, theft of intellectual property, electronic discovery issues, and widespread compromise of sensitive data. Our methods of performing incident response have altered little in the past few years, yet the attacks have greatly increased in sophistication. Mr. Mandia addresses the widening gap between the sophistication of the attacks and the sophistication of the incident response techniques deployed by "best practices." During this presentation, Mr. Mandia re-enacts some of the incidents; provides examples of how these incidents impacted organizations; and discusses the challenges that each organization faced. He demonstrates the "state-of-the-art" methods being used to perform Incident Response, and how these methods are not evolving at a pace equal to the thre

  • Simple Nomad and MadHat Unspecific: SPA: Single Packet Authorization

    04/06/2006 Duración: 19min

    We needed a protocol that allowed us to tell a server that we are who we say we are, have it work across NAT, use TCP, UDP, or ICMP as the transport mechanism, act as an extra layer of security, and be secure itself. Oh, and do so with a single packet. Sound crazy? It's actually very useful. We've come up with a Single Packet Authorization (SPA). This is a protocol for a remote user to send in a request to a server which I cannot be replayed and which uniquely identifies the user. The proof-of-concept code alone is worthy of a presentation itself, but SPA is so much more. This is not port-knowcking (although SPA can easily replace port-knocking with something much more secure). MadHat leads the DC214, Dallas Defcon Group and is a member of NMRC. His paying gig is as the Manager of Vernier Threat Labs. Before working at Vernier, MadHat was one of the core security team members for Yahoo and leat the vulnerability assessment and day-to-day security monitoring for Yahoo world-wide. He has written several open

  • Ben Laurie: CaPerl: Running Hostile Code Safely

    04/06/2006 Duración: 46min

    There are many circumstances under which we would like to run code we don't trust. This talk presents a method for making that possible with various popular scripting languages-the test case is Perl, but the technique will work with other languages. Also presented is an open source implementation for Perl, and various examples of its use - for instance, a web server that will run arbitrary code uploaded to it. Although some experience of Perl is useful, it is not essential. The basis of the technique is to compile a slightly modified dialect of Perl into capability-enforcing standard Perl, which is then run using a vanilla Perl interpreter. Ben Laurie has worked for years on cryptography and security, particularly in the open source world. Perhaps best known for authoring Apache-SSL, the ancestor of almost all secure free webservers, he is also a core team member of OpenSSL and a founding director of the Apache Software Foundation. In his copious spare time, he is Director of Security for The Bunker Se

  • Alexander Kornbrust: Circumvent Oracle's Database Encryption and Reverse Engineering of Oracle Key Management Algorithms

    04/06/2006 Duración: 59min

    This talk describes architecture flaws of the Oracle's database encryption packages dbms_crypto and dbms_obfuscation_toolkit. These encryption packages are used to encrypt sensitive information in the database. A hacker can intercept the encryption key and use this key to decrypt sensitive information like clinical data, company secrets or credit card information. Even if a flexible key management algorithm (every row has his own key) is in use it is possible to reverse engineer this algorithm quite fast. A basic knowledge of Oracle databases (PL/SQL) is recommended. Alexander Kornbrust is the founder and CEO of Red-Database-Security GmbH, a company specialised in Oracle security. He is responsible for Oracle security audits and Oracle Anti-hacker trainings. Before that he worked several years for Oracle Germany, Oracle Switzerland and IBM Global Services as consultant. Alexander Kornbrust is working with Oracle products as DBA and developer since 1992. During the last 5 years found over 100 security

  • Joseph Klein: The Social Engineering Engagement Methodology - A Formal Testing process of the People and Process

    04/06/2006 Duración: 40min

    The security of an organization is composed of technology, people and processes. In the last few years, many organizations have done a good job addressing technology but have focused very little on the people and processes. This presentation reviews the formal methodology for performing Social Engineering Engagements. The method is divided into four sections including the Pre-Engagement, Pre-Assessment, Assessment and Post-Assessment. The Pre-Engagement, is the sales process for performing the assessment. In this section, we will review the business justification and headlines of current attacks. Pre-Assessment if focused on identifying the scope of the project, limitation, targets and attack vectors. Also included are examples of what information must be gathers for use in the assessment and post assessment phase. The most interesting and tedious part is the actual assessment. In this section, we will discuss how to engage the target, utilize company information, how to achieve the goal and what

  • Barnaby Jack: Remote Windows Kernel Exploitation - Step In To the Ring 0

    04/06/2006 Duración: 36min

    Almost every possible method and technique regarding Windows exploitation has been discussed in depth. Surprisingly, a topic that has rarely been touched on publicly is the remote exploitation of Win32 kernel vulnerabilities; a number of kernel vulnerabilities have been published, yet no exploit code has surfaced in the public arena. I predict we will see more kernel vulnerabilities in the future, as more core networking components are being implemented at the driver level. In this presentation I will walk through the remote exploitation of a kernel level vulnerability. A number of payloads will be discussed and demonstrated, and I will explain how to overcome the various obstacles that arise when attempting to exploit ring 0 vulnerabilities. As a final demonstration, we will say goodnight to the Windows OS entirely. Barnaby Jack is a Senior Research Engineer at eEye Digital Security. His role at eEye involves developing internal technologies, malicious code analysis, vulnerability research-and applying

  • Ken Hines: Using Causal Analysis to Establish Meaningful Connections between Anomalous Behaviors in a Networking Environment

    04/06/2006 Duración: 24min

    Fueled by business needs such as supply chain integration and outsourcing, modern enterprises must open up portions of their networks to potentially untrusted outsiders. Combined with the troubling aspects of malicious insiders, ever more sophisticated attacks, increasing network complexity, and strong pressure from regulatory bodies to rapidly identify breaches and assess damages, there is a rapidly growing concern over internal network security. IT departments must work harder than ever to prevent insiders and outsiders from gaining unauthorized access to critical assets deep in the network, and if such access ever occurs, identify and report on, the impact of such a security breach. In order to gain real insight into the dynamic behavior of their networks, IT departments must monitor huge quantities of data, where individual elements of a sophisticated attack may be spread out over long periods of time, and vast numbers of logs. Many tools are available to identify individual phases of an attack, such a

  • Allen Harper and Edward Balas: GEN III Honeynets: The birth of roo

    04/06/2006 Duración: 51min

    A Honeypot is a information gathering system, designed for attackers to interact with. A honeynet, simply put, is a network of honeypots. The key component of a honeynet is the honeywall. The honeywall is used to provide the following capabilities: * Data Capture. The ability to collect information about the attack. * Data Control. The ability to restrict the amount of damage that can be done from one of your honeypots to another network. * Data Analysis. The ability to conduct limited forensics analysis on the network traffic or compromised honeypots in order to discover the attackers methodology. * Data Alerting. The ability to alert an analyst as to suspicious activity. In 2001, Honeynet.org released a honeywall, called eeyore, which allowed for Gen II honeynets and improved both Data Capture and Data Control capabilities over the Gen I honeynets. In the summer of 2005, Honeynet.org released a new honeywall, called roo, which enables Gen III honeynets. The new roo has many impr

  • Robert J. Hansen and Meredith L. Patterson: Stopping Injection Attacks with Computational Theory

    04/06/2006 Duración: 49min

    Input validation is an important part of security, but it's also one of the most annoying parts. False positives and false negatives force us to choose between convenience and security-but do we have to make that choice? Can't we have both? In this talk two University of Iowa researchers will present new methods of input validation which hold promise to give us both convenience _and_ security. A basic understanding of SQL and regular expressions is required. Robert J. Hansen: B.A. in Computer Science from Cornell College, 1998.

  • Jeremiah Grossman: Phishing with Super Bait

    04/06/2006 Duración: 57min

    The use of phishing/cross-site scripting hybrid attacks for financial gain is spreading. It's imperative that security professionals familiarize themselves with these new threats to protect their websites and confidential corporate information. This isn't just another presentation about phishing scams or cross-site scripting. We're all very familiar with each of those issues. Instead, we'll discuss the potential impact when the two are combined to form new attack techniques. Phishers are beginning to exploit these techniques, creating new phishing attacks that are virtually impervious to conventional security measures. Secure sockets layer (SSL), blacklists, token-based authentication, browser same-origin policy, and monitoring / take-down services offer little protection. Even eyeballing the authenticity of a URL is unlikely to help. By leveraging cross-site scripting, the next level of phishing scams will be launched not from look-alike web pages, but instead from legitimate websites! This presentatio

  • Joe Grand: Can You Really Trust Hardware? Exploring Security Problems in Hardware Devices

    04/06/2006 Duración: 01h12min

    Most users treat a hardware solution as an inherently trusted black box. "If it's hardware, it must be secure," they say. This presentation explores a number of classic security problems with hardware products, including access to stored data, privilege escalation, spoofing, and man-in-the-middle attacks. We explore technologies commonly used in the network and computer security industries including access control, authentication tokens, and network appliances. You'll leave this presentation knowing the consequence of blindly trusting hardware.
