[CB20] Pwning OT: Going in Through the Eyes by Ta-Lun YenCODE BLUE
Two years after the release of our paper regarding SCADA HMI security , SCADA systems are still a challenge to secure. This is not only due to their rigid connection requirements (hence "control and data acquisition"), but also the burden of needing to interface with legacy systems. Such legacy systems are so foundational to OT configurations that SCADA systems are frequently difficult to modernize. As a result of recent stories in the media, the potential devastation of a successful SCADA attack is well-known. As adversaries only have to successfully penetrate through one of many potential weaknesses in a system, these potential weaknesses and attack surfaces must be carefully considered and safeguarded.
HMIs are a common target, since they're usually installed in a configuration that enables connection to both the OT network and the Internet (or Intranet), meaning they can easily be made to function as a sort of gateway. This runs contrary to the common assumption that HMIs should only be installed in an air-gapped or otherwise isolated configuration.
Despite a lack of public information regarding OT network infiltration via HMI, our research reveals that HMIs are frequently a soft and easily accessible vector for attacks. In a large percentage of OT setups, the consequences of HMI compromise could be disastrous -- allowing theft of operational information, property damage, and the creation of a foothold for infiltrating the infrastructure.
In the past, vendors have been able to assume that older technology would support stable operation and that they could rely on 'security through obscurity'. In recent investigations we found that in some devices, "security" is merely an illusion created by limited and inconsistent data of the legacy systems which are still used actively today. In this submission, we introduce our in-progress research regarding security in HMI devices, and show how we totally pwn one such device. The research presented here shows only a small amount of the insecurities that we've uncovered.
[CB20] Operation I am Tom: How APT actors move laterally in corporate network...CODE BLUE
TeamT5 has helped many cyber-attack victims defending against APT actors for years. We see enormous cases showing that the actors still maintained their access to the victim network after some malware cleaning by unexperienced network managers or immature security teams. The main reason would be lacking knowledge regarding threat actors’ techniques in lateral movement operations. For example, Microsoft Windows Active Directory plays a key role and dominates most corporate network environments for centralized management and authentication. However, there are many scenarios of improper security settings would cause Active Directory attacks to become a convenient way for threat actors to move around.
In this talk, we are going to present lateral movement methods to penetrate corporate network environment and techniques to bypass security monitoring systems. All cases are based on our real experiences fighting with APT actors in recent years. We categorize them into 4 categories and list the items as below:
1.AD Farm's penetration technique: mimilib, MemSSP, skeleton key, ACL abuse
2.Web-shell technique: IIS module abuse, Web source code injection, Deserialization, Rootkit
3.Second Tier backdoor techniques: DLL-hijack, IAT insert, Port reuse
4.Miscellaneous technique: how actors moving laterally in your network without malware or hacking tools.
The target audiences of this talk include security researchers, antivirus vendors, SOC team analyst and incident response teams. The techniques disclosed in this talk would help and facilitate blue team members to detect and understand threat actors’ footprints inside a corporate network and effectively block their activities.

This presentation by Mike Shame of Qualys the basics of Web Application Security and how to safeguard your web infrastructure against the most prevalent online threats and security risks, such as: cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, SQL injection, directory traversals, and other web vulnerabilities. Learn how to proactively identify critical web application vulnerabilities and take corrective actions to minimize risks.
A web server, which can be referred to as the hardware, the computer, or the software, is the computer application that helps to deliver content that can be accessed through the Internet. Most people think a web server is just the hardware computer, but a web server is also the software computer application that is installed in the hardware computer. The primary function of a web server is to deliver web pages on the request to clients using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

Web application vulnerabilities involve a system flaw or weakness in a web-based application. They have been around for years, largely due to not validating or sanitizing form inputs, misconfigured web servers, and application design flaws, and they can be exploited to compromise the application's security.
Web Application Security: The Land that Information Security ForgotJeremiah Grossman
Web Application Security: The Land that Information Security Forgot
Today, the vast majority of those within information security have heard about web application security and posses at least a vague understanding of the risks involved. However, the multitude of attacks which make this area of security important, for the most part, go undocumented, unexplained and misunderstood. As a result, our web applications become undefended and at the mercy of a determined attacker. In order to gain a deeper understanding of the threats, witnessing these attacks first hand is essential.
Make no mistake, insecure and unprotected web applications are the fastest, easiest, and arguably the most utilized route to compromise networks and exploit users. What's worse is that conventional security measures lack the proper safeguards and offer little protection, resulting in nothing more than a "false sense of security".
This discussion will cover theory surrounding some of the more dangerous web application attacks, examples of the attack in action, and possible countermeasures.
Founder and chairman of WhiteHat Security, and former information security officer with Yahoo!. As information security officer at Yahoo!, Jeremiah was designing, auditing, and penetration-testing the huge company's web applications which demand highest security.
During his past 5 years of employment, Jeremiah has been researching and applying information security with special emphasis on prevention of web application sabotage. Grossman has presented "Web Application Security" talks at many security conventions such as the Defcon, Air Force and Technology Conference, ToorCon, and others.
Jeremiah is a lead contributor to the "Open Web Application Security Project" www.owasp.com and considered to be among the foremost web security experts.
Cognitive Security - Anatomy of Advanced Persistent Threats ('12)Gabriel Dusil
Check out my blog "Multiscreen & OTT for the Digital Generation" @ gdusil.wordpress.com.
“Advanced Persistent Threats”, or APTs, refers low-level attacks used collectively to launch a targeted & prolonged attack. The goal is to gain maximum control into the target organization. APTs pose serious concerns to a security management team, especially as APT toolkits become commercially and globally available. Today’s threats involve polymorphic malware and other techniques that are designed to evade traditional security measures. Best-in-class security solutions now require controls that do not rely on signature-based detection, since APTs are “signature-aware”, and designed to bypass traditional security layers. New methods are needed to combat these new threats such as Behavioral Analysis. Network Behavior Analysis proactively detects and blocks suspicious behavior before significant damage can be done by the perpetrator. This presentation provides some valuable statistics in the growing threat of APTs.
Nothing like starting off the new decade with rumors your computer cryptography has a vulnerability which can result in a lack of trust for almost everything you do! The reality is that this vulnerability has not been publicly disclosed nor exploited and our friends at Microsoft have a solution. Besides the Crypto vulnerability, the most notable news is still the final public patch release for Windows 7, Server 2008, and Server 2008 R2. Apply the updates soon; major security vulnerabilities are exploited quickly!
Join us this month as we recap the Microsoft and 3rd Party security patches released on Patch Tuesday. We will discuss things to watch out for, products to be sure to test adequately, and which patches should be highest priority to roll out.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
In his public lecture, Christian Timmerer provides insights into the fascinating history of video streaming, starting from its humble beginnings before YouTube to the groundbreaking technologies that now dominate platforms like Netflix and ORF ON.
