PHP has its own treasure chest of classic mistakes that surprises even the most seasoned expert : code that dies just by changing its namespace, strpos() that fails to find strings or arrays that changes without touching them. Do that get on your nerves too ? Let’s make a list of them, so we can always teach them to the new guys, spot them during code reviews and kick them out of our code once and for all. Come on, you’re not frightening us !
This script analyzes directory structures and generates arrays or commands to recreate the structure including permissions and ownership. It uses the find command to retrieve directory information, then processes the output to extract attributes like owner, group, and permissions. It can generate shell code defining arrays of the attributes, or commands to recreate the directories and set permissions. The script works in KornShell, ZShell or Bash.

Inside a Digital Collection: Historic Clothing in OmekaArden Kirkland
In July of 2014, I was invited to present a guest lecture for Foundations of Digital Data (IST676) at the Syracuse University School of Information Studies, taught by Angela U. Ramnarine-Rieks. This talk provides an inside look at creating a digital collection. As this was an online, asynchronous class, I recorded my presentation as a YouTube video, which you can see at http://youtu.be/vYTggDBqBgQ. It includes some discussion of the technical underpinnings of the Omeka site I've created for Vassar's collection of historic clothing, including slides that show my customizations in PHP for showing related items.
This document summarizes Sandro "guly" Zaccarini's presentation on PHP web backdoor obfuscation techniques at EndSummerCamp 2k15. The presentation covers placing backdoors in PHP websites, different methods for executing code through PHP, real world examples of obfuscated backdoors found in the wild, and vulnerabilities that can enable backdoor execution. The goal is to demonstrate how PHP backdoors can be hidden through obfuscation and exploit vulnerabilities.
This document summarizes an interface that allows Ruby on Rails applications to integrate voice functionality using Asterisk or alternative platforms like Adhearsion and Telegraph. It provides examples of configuring these platforms and building voice interfaces in Rails applications to handle phone calls and integrate features like voicemail, phone menus, and retrieving data to read to callers. The document discusses considerations for voice user interfaces and demonstrates integrating voice response with existing Rails controllers and views.
Dip Your Toes in the Sea of Security (PHP South Africa 2017)James Titcumb
Security is an enormous topic, and it’s really, really complicated. If you’re not careful, you’ll find yourself vulnerable to any number of attacks which you definitely don’t want to be on the receiving end of. This talk will give you just a taster of the vast array of things there is to know about security in modern web applications, such as writing secure PHP web applications and securing a Linux server. Whether you are writing anything beyond a basic brochure website, or even developing a complicated business web application, this talk will give you insights to some of the things you need to be aware of.
Backdooring the web is the cheapest and most hidden way to achieve
persistence on a compromised network, both if you're looking at
privileges on the webapp itself or at executing command to underlying
system.
During the talk, we will discuss the context of a web backdoor: the
environment where she can born and grow up will be defined.
Each environmental aspect will be thoroughly analyzed: where is the best
point of injection, why we choose a specific function or trick, what
permissions are needed, how to trigger the backdoor in a safe, hidden
and reproducible way, and of course what to inject.
The talk will thus present several ways to inject obfuscated and hard to
spot vulnerabilities in PHP code. Shown examples will backdoor CMS
plugins as well as custom code, altering the code and polluting the
webapp ecosystem (read: DBMS and webservers).
Climbing the Abstract Syntax Tree (PHP South Africa 2017)James Titcumb
The new Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) in PHP 7 means the way our PHP code is being executed has changed. Understanding this new fundamental compilation step is key to understanding how our code is being run. To demonstrate, James will show how a basic compiler works and how introducing an AST simplifies this process. We’ll look into how these magical time-warp techniques* can also be used in your code to introspect, analyse and modify code in a way that was never possible before. After seeing this talk, you'll have a great insight as to the wonders of an AST, and how it can be applied to both compilers and userland code. (*actual magic or time-warp not guaranteed)
Pattern matching in Elixir by example - Alexander KhokhlovElixir Club
Pattern matching in Elixir allows variables to be bound to values in a structure like a tuple, map, or list. It checks for structural equality rather than referential equality. Some key aspects of pattern matching include: variables can be rebound but not reassigned, patterns can match nested data structures, and functions can have multiple clauses to handle different patterns. Pattern matching is used throughout Elixir for control flow, case expressions, with expressions, and more.

This document contains code for a zoo management system (ZMS) written in C programming language. The code displays a main menu with options to manage animal and bird records. It allows the user to add, display, modify and delete animal/bird records stored in a binary file by their cell ID. Functions include validating unique IDs, input validation, searching/updating records, and file handling operations.
This document introduces best practices for writing clean and readable Perl code. It provides examples of poorly formatted code and discusses improvements like using strict and warnings, consistent indentation, descriptive variable names, and limiting line length to 80 characters. The examples demonstrate separating code into logical blocks, spacing around operators, and vertical alignment to improve readability. Adopting these styles and standards helps code be more maintainable as projects evolve over time.
Perl White Magic - Command Line Switches and Special VariablesJosé Castro
This document is an outline for a talk titled "Perl White Magic" that will discuss command line switches, special variables, and other Perl topics. The talk aims to explain how these techniques can speed up coding, clean up code, and be fun to learn. While some audience members may have seen these topics before, repeating them can provide new perspectives and uncover unknown aspects for a more experienced audience.
This document summarizes an expert talk on advanced malware detection techniques. It discusses how malware exploits constraints on analysis time and memory space to evade detection. Current detection methods are outlined along with ways malware bypass them, such as packing, obfuscation, and anti-analysis techniques. The talk then presents novel detection techniques such as detecting internal data structure modifications, subverting malware attempts to enumerate security processes, tapping browsers to detect obfuscated drive-by downloads, and preemptively subverting analysis machines to detect anti-VM techniques. Future directions discussed include using machine learning to detect internal threats based on behavioral profiles.
Binary Obfuscation from the Top Down: Obfuscation Executables without Writing...frank2
Binary obfuscation is a mysterious ritual employed by malware authors and software vendors alike that no one really seems to talk about. It's almost like a secret society. Interestingly, you don't have to write a program to obfuscate the binary-- you can also write high-level code that obfuscates at compile-time, rather than afterward.

The document discusses intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS). It describes what an IDS is, the components of an IDS, and different types of IDS including network-based, host-based, and hybrid systems. It also covers the differences between passive and reactive IDS, as well as techniques attackers use to evade detection like fragmentation and small packets. The document concludes by discussing intrusion prevention systems and how they differ from IDS in their ability to block threats in real-time.
This document discusses techniques for obfuscating URLs to hide malicious intent. It begins with an overview of URL shortening services that can be used to hide the destination of a link. Various methods for obfuscating URLs are then described, including encoding IP addresses in octal format, URL encoding, and tricks involving the URI structure. The document provides a challenge for safely deconstructing an obfuscated URL step-by-step either manually or automatically. It concludes with an explanation of how the challenge URL was obfuscated using chaining of different techniques.
This paper covers a new technique that can help IDS/IPS solution developers to provide more protection against web attacks. The approach is very generic and can be “adopted” by any IDS/IPS solution provider. Presently the approach is just an Idea and it requires more research and experiment to convert it into a working solution.
This approach helps in enhancing quality of “signature based IDS/IPS solution” and provides good coverage with respect to the evasion techniques.
This document discusses techniques for footprinting and profiling enterprise applications and networks. It covers identifying web application components, virtual hosts, and default applications using tools like nmap and nc. The document shows how to identify name servers and perform reverse lookups to discover additional hosts. Methods for profiling Ajax frameworks, web services, and entry points are presented. The goal of these techniques is to map assets to entry points to understand application architecture and potential vulnerabilities.
This document discusses various techniques for evading antivirus, firewalls, and intrusion prevention systems (IPS). It begins with techniques for antivirus evasion using tools like msfvenom, veil-evasion, shellter, and unicorn to obfuscate payloads. Next it discusses firewall and IPS evasion techniques like stage encoding/encryption, zombie scanning, tunneling over protocols like ICMP, DNS, and using a custom Tor configuration. The document provides examples and links to demonstrate these evasion techniques.

In order to harden kernel exploitation as much as possible was introduced variety of features including KASLR, SMEP and sometimes also SMAP.
Even those are powerful techniques their effectiveness rely on their cooperation, environment and their implementation.
We will present new and some not so new exploitation techniques, show ideas behind breaking trough before mentioned security features and why it is possible, and we will take a look at pool spraying on x64 as well.
Kernel vulnerabilities was commonly used to obtain admin privileges, and main rule was to stay in kernel as small time as possible! But nowdays even when you get admin / root then current operating systems are sometimes too restrictive. And that made kernel exploitation nice vector for installing to kernel mode!
In this talk we will examine steps from CPL3 to CPL0, including some nice tricks, and we end up with developing kernel mode drivers.
As attacks have become more sophisticated, the need for Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs) has grown to address challenges like botnets, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, insider threats, and advanced persistent threats (APTs). The presentation discusses best practices for creating a CSIRT, including obtaining management support, determining a strategic plan, designing a vision, implementation, and evaluating effectiveness. It also covers Security Operations Centers (SOCs), their mission to prevent, monitor, detect, respond to, and report on cybersecurity incidents, and best practices for establishing an SOC.
TakeDownCon Rocket City: WebShells by Adrian CrenshawEC-Council
The document discusses various techniques for gaining remote access to websites through automated collection of remote file inclusion (RFI) vulnerabilities and web shells. It provides examples of PHP code that can be used to upload files, execute system commands, and create backdoors. It also lists sources for common web shells and techniques for obfuscating shell code, communicating stealthily, and restricting access to authorized users only. The document is an educational overview of RFI exploitation and automated web shell collection and management.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Jason Shupp of Invincea, Inc. on the topic of endpoint security evasion. It discusses current challenges with antivirus software, including its reliance on known threats and the hundreds of thousands of new malware variants seen daily. The presentation then outlines how Invincea's FreeSpace product works to contain applications in an isolated environment to prevent compromise, using behavioral detection rather than signatures. It concludes with a demonstration of FreeSpace protecting against weaponized documents while traditional defenses are bypassed.
Deobfuscation and beyond (ZeroNights, 2014)ReCrypt
The document discusses software obfuscation techniques used by commercial obfuscators and how a symbolic equation system could help to deobfuscate transformations used in obfuscated code. It outlines common obfuscation techniques like recursive substitution and code duplication. Previous deobfuscation research and tools are discussed, highlighting limitations in relying solely on compiler theory algorithms. The authors propose using a symbolic equation system to aid in deobfuscation. Their system, called Project Eq, is able to successfully deobfuscate samples from various obfuscators. The document also explores how such a system could be used for obfuscation and discusses future perspectives on obfuscation becoming more complex and migrating towards malware.
The document discusses the importance of endpoint security and provides an overview of various endpoint security solutions. It notes that with increased mobility and remote access, the network perimeter is no longer well-defined, making endpoint security crucial. It summarizes some key endpoint security vendors and technologies, including Cisco NAC, Microsoft NAP, and Trusted Network Connect. The document emphasizes that effective endpoint security requires a strategic approach to balance connectivity and protection.
The presentation highlights techniques to exploit a MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft SQL Server database server in real world: how to abuse databases features to takeover the server as a whole, how to break out of the mere database process, get control of the operating system and escalate process' privileges to SYSTEM and how to make the life of the forensics analyst harder in a post-exploitation investigation.
These slides have been presented at AthCon 2010 conference in Athens on June 3, 2010.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help boost feelings of calmness, happiness and focus.
This document provides a summary of a tutorial on learning the Perl 6 programming language. It covers topics like scalars, variables, control structures, I/O, subroutines, regular expressions, modules, classes and objects. It suggests that in the 80 minute session, the presenters will be able to cover data, variables, control structures, I/O, subroutines and regular expressions, but may not have time for everything. It also provides information on getting started with Pugs and writing simple Perl 6 programs, as well as examples of core Perl 6 concepts like objects, methods, strings, arithmetic, conditionals and loops.
This document discusses ways to prevent malicious Perl code from executing harmful actions by overriding core functions like die() and system() as well as by faking module imports. It explores how the Acme::BadExample module tries to perform dangerous tasks and ways Anti::Code can intervene to stop it without errors.
The document summarizes a Perl Mongers course on data and operators in Perl. It covers basic data types like scalars, arrays, and hashes. It describes strings, numbers, and how to perform operations on them. It also discusses control structures like conditionals and loops for program flow. Finally, it mentions input/output functions like STDIN and STDOUT.
Perl provides many powerful features and modules that allow developers to customize and extend the language. Some popular modules include Moose for object-oriented programming, TryCatch for exception handling inspired by Perl 6, and P5.10 features that backport Perl 6 functionality. While useful, some features like autoboxing and state variables could introduce subtle bugs if misused. Overall, Perl's extensibility makes it a very flexible language that can be adapted to many different use cases.
The document discusses a "Just Another Perl Hacker" (JAPH) obfuscated code challenge that generates random text through a series of seeds and offsets. It then analyzes the Perl code to deobfuscate how it works by seeding a pseudo-random number generator, taking offsets, and gathering random characters to build the output string. Several pseudo-random number generation techniques are also briefly described including the middle square method.
This document discusses object oriented programming in Perl. It provides examples of creating object classes with methods in Perl using packages and the bless function. It also demonstrates how to create object instances, call methods on those instances using arrow syntax, and access object properties.
This document provides an introduction and overview of the Perl 6 programming language. It covers topics such as getting started with Perl 6 using Pugs, basic program structure, scalars, variables, control structures, arrays, hashes, input/output, and more. The summary is designed to give a high-level understanding of the key topics covered in the document in 3 sentences or less.
(originally presented at YAPC::Europe::2007)
No-one is as critical about something as those that love it dearly. Mark Fowler has been collecting complaints from professional Perl developers for years about what warts still remain with the language when strict and warnings are turned on.
Are these problems unsolvable? A veteran Perl programmer himself Mark attempted to try and solve these issues - and then turned to the experts, the people who write books on Perl, the people who maintain the perl interpreter itself, for help.
This is what he learned...
The document discusses various techniques for extending and improving Perl, including both good and potentially evil techniques. It covers Perl modules that port Perl 6 features to Perl 5 like given/when switches and state variables. It also discusses techniques for runtime introspection and modification like PadWalker and source filters. The document advocates for continuing to extend Perl 5 with modern features to keep it relevant and powerful.
Why Perl, when you can use bash+awk+sed? :PLuciano Rocha
The document discusses advantages of using standard Unix tools like bash, awk and sed instead of Perl for certain tasks. It argues that these tools have smaller overhead, are available everywhere, have simpler documentation and can incrementally solve problems faster than Perl in some cases. Knowing your standard tools well can increase productivity by allowing problems to be solved through small automated steps.
This document provides an introduction to Perl programming by discussing what Perl is used for, why it is useful, and how to get started with the language. It covers installing Perl on Windows and Linux, using variables and data structures like scalars, arrays, hashes, and references.

I, For One, Welcome Our New Perl6 Overlordsheumann
The document discusses Perl 6 modules and features including variables, binding, classes, attributes, caller, and more. Code examples are provided to demonstrate how to use various Perl 6 constructs like binding variables, defining classes, accessing caller information, and using attributes. Modules like Perl6::Variables, Perl6::Binding, Perl6::Classes are also imported and used.
The document contains PHP code for a remote shell script called r57shell. It defines options like language, authentication, login/password. It also contains code for file compression/zipping, adding files to a zip archive, and outputting the final zip file. The script allows remotely executing system commands on the server.
The document provides tips and tricks for PHP development. It begins with an introduction and contact information for the author. It then lists and describes several tips, including using the ternary operator for short conditional statements, different methods for listing directories, extracting parts of a filepath, checking for non-empty variables, and parsing URL parameters using parse_url and parse_str functions. The document encourages readers to share better solutions and includes additional resources on the PHP manual.
The document provides an introduction to the PHP programming language. It discusses PHP's syntax, which is inspired by C with curly braces and semicolons, and Perl with dollar signs for variables. PHP code can be embedded within HTML files. The philosophy of PHP is that it aims to be convenient for programmers. Basic PHP syntax and keywords are also covered, along with variables, strings, expressions, output, comments, and control structures like if/else statements and while loops.
PHP is a scripting language commonly used for web development. It has syntax inspired by C and Perl and allows embedding PHP code segments within HTML files. PHP code is interpreted and executed on the server side to generate dynamic web page content. Key PHP constructs include variables, data types, operators, conditional and looping control structures, and functions. PHP aims to be convenient for programmers while sometimes failing silently on errors.
Pack and unpack can be used to serialize and deserialize binary data in Perl. Pack works like sprintf but for bytes, allowing data to be converted to binary formats. Unpack is similar to sscanf but for bytes, and can parse binary data into Perl variables. Examples shown include packing a number into 4 bytes, unpacking those bytes back into a number, and using pack and unpack to serialize and deserialize arrays of data. Advanced techniques discussed include thinking like a C programmer in how data is laid out in memory, using serialization tricks for efficiency, and lazily parsing large amounts of binary data.
The document provides an overview of modern Perl features including:
- Using say() instead of print for output
- Defined-or operator //
- switch/given statement for conditionals
- Smart matching with ~~ operator
- state keyword for static variables
- New regex features like named capture buffers
- Object oriented programming with Moose
- Defining classes, attributes, types and inheritance with Moose
- Exception handling with TryCatch and autodie
- Best practices for coding style, layout, testing and more
