This document contains the slides from a presentation about content security policies (CSP) and cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. The presentation discusses what XSS is, different types of XSS attacks, and how CSP can help mitigate XSS risks. It also describes how to configure and enforce a CSP, including using report-only mode and report-uri to help debug issues. The presentation concludes with information on common CSP pitfalls and links for further reading.
Content Security Policies: Let's Break Stuff for PHPSW at Bath DigitalMatt Brunt
Content Security Policies are another tool we should have in our security toolbelt to help protect users of our sites. In this session I’ll cover what they are, why they’re needed, how they work and the limitations on what they can & cannot do to protect users.
I’ll demo attacks a CSP will block, break things, show what the different CSP directives & options will do and introduce some of the tools available to help with implementing a CSP on your sites!

Are Today’s Good Practices... Tomorrow’s Performance Anti-Patterns?Andy Davies
The web is ever changing… browsers are evolving, new protocols are emerging and mobile continues its relentless rise. We’re already starting to bend some of the original performance rules and as the web changes further will our current good practices last, or will some become barriers that hinder performance?

[CB19] Shattering the dark: uncovering vulnerabilities of the dark web by Tak...CODE BLUE
The dark web is an anonymized information space -- it conceals you and your visitors -- you cannot distinguish between legitimate visitors and malicious attackers. While many hidden services employ CAPTCHAs hoping to fend off attackers, is it enough? Considering the current situation of Web application vulnerability scanners, it is fairly safe to say CAPTCHAs are marginally sufficient to ward off automated fuzzers or scanners. We don't think so -- we have created a free (as in freedom,) semi-automatic Web vulnerability scanner named Shatter. It enables pentesters to describe targets/analysises/dataflows with code, giving it ability of carrying out comprehensive scans in an automatic and repeatable manner. And it not only can detect issues but also aim to actively exploit ones to take the service over, optionally with external tools such as sqlmap, Metasploit, or custom exploitation script, making it a comprehensive and fierce Web application penetrator. In our session we will use it to breach a certain hidden service requiring CAPTCHAs, exposing some actual vulnerabilities which may lead to identity breaches.

Slides from an Ignite Talk given at O'Reilly Security NYC, 2016-10-31. Talk details will be posted at https://www.netmeister.org/blog/crazy-like-a-fox.html
Estes slides fazem parte da minha apresentação na conferência Confraria0day em Marçod de 2017. É uma introdução aos vários cabeçalhos de segurança HTTP. Cobre HSTS, HPKP, X-Frame-Options, Content Security Policy, X-XSS-Protection, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy e Set-Cookie options.
Short brief about some of the more important http headers that is directly or indirectly related to security and privacy both for the end user and the service provider.
Protecting Web App users in today’s hostile environmentajitdhumale
Modern day web applications live and operate in a complex eco-system (Browser, Network/wifi, CDN, Cert Authorities, 3rd party sub resources and more). Securing the web server and web application business logic is not sufficient. The eco-system outside your direct control also contribute to the security risk posed to users of web applications. Security weaknesses and compromised elements in the eco-system would make , otherwise secure, applications risky for the users. We need to think of protecting your users in this un-trusted environment. The presentation describes such risks and options available to deal with them.

Performance is fundamentally, a UX concern. Sites that are slow to render or janky to interact with are a bad user experience. We strive to write performant code for our users, but users don’t directly interact with our code - it all happens through the medium of the browser. The browser is the middleman between us and our users; therefore to make our users happy, we first have to make the browser happy. But how exactly do we do that?
In this talk, we’ll learn how browsers work under the hood: how they request, construct, and render a website. At each step along the way, we’ll cover what we can do as developers to make the browser’s job easier, and why those best practices work. You’ll leave with a solid understanding of how to write code that works with the browser, not against it, and ultimately improves your users’ experience.
Rails security: above and beyond the defaultsMatias Korhonen
In a world with increasingly sophisticated adversaries employing both targeted and automated attacks, what can we do to keep our users and our web apps safe?
While Rails provides pretty decent security options straight out of the box, we can go further and make attacks more difficult to accomplish.
For example, why and how to implement a Content Security Policy. Should you use HTTP Public Key Pinning? How do you know if you've configured HTTPS correctly?

Building Better Responsive Sites –
This presentation provides tips, tricks and advice for building better responsive websites and how to improve your process and workflows. It also introduces some helpful tools to better name your CSS, improve and automate various other workflows.
These are the slides from my "Active Defense - Helping threat actors hack themselves!" presentation at the 11th Annual Northern Kentucky University Cybersecurity Symposium on 10/12/2018.
Title: Active Defense - Helping threat actors hack themselves!
Abstract:
Have you ever received one of those data breach notification letters in the mail? The short-term amends provided for having your personal data compromised is typically in the form of free short-term credit monitoring services. An entire Information Security industry segment has sprung up around Data Loss Prevention (DLP) aimed at stopping confidential data from being "leaked" out of an organization's boundaries for unauthorized use. What if the data breach perpetrators got a healthy dose of their own medicine instead of your private data? We cannot "hack back" legally today, but perhaps we can lure these malicious threat actors into actually hacking themselves... This presentation covers "Active Defense" techniques designed to frustrate data bandits attempting to steal and ex-filtrate our data.
The focus of this presentation is on actively defending a live public facing website. We begin by covering methods to shield innocent users by protecting them from our active defenses. We take advantage of malicious visitor’s impulse to evade all the rules by setting traps designed to ensnare those attempting to steal our data. The techniques covered involve faking accidental exposure and baiting traps using fictitious files and data too irresistible for cyber thieves to ignore. I then demonstrate deployable techniques used to fight back without launching a single attack.

Browser Wars 2019 - Implementing a Content Security PolicyGeorge Boobyer
A brief look at the history of the implementation of secure web headers and an overview of creating and monitoring a content security policy (CSP).
It used to be that browsers were something we fought against to get our sites viewed the way we wanted; now they are our allies.
Far from being dumb proprietary clients that just parse our HTML the way they want, they have evolved into complex software applications.
They provide powerful security controls to make decisions about what to display and debugging tools to enable us to investigate their actions.
It is increasingly common to find malicious exploits targeting web pages within the browser; running crypto-miners, stealing credentials and forging requests.
By implementing a set of headers to be delivered alongside our web pages, we can now work with browsers to protect our site visitors from malicious content
and control what is displayed and included on our pages.
In this session we will touch on what threats face our web pages out in the wild and what measures we can employ to work with browsers to protect them.
We will focus on implementing security headers and building a Content Security Policy, and will cover
- implementation of essential security headers;
- the initial investigation and building of a Content Security Policy (CSP);
- implementation and observation of the CSP in the wild;
- monitoring of the CSP once live;
- evidence of its effectiveness (threats thwarted).
Hopefully attendees will be convinced as to why security headers and CSP are invaluable and why projects should build in time and resources to implement them.

How Chunky Do You Need To Be?: Adaptive Content Strategies For The Real WorldChristopher Grant Ward
Okay, we get it. No more blobs. Make things chunky. Separate content from code.
But this is easier said than done.
Most content professionals work with small budgets or cope with big bureaucracies. We can't move forward on ideals alone. We need practical approaches (and dare we say, compromises) for implementing adaptive content in our day-to-day jobs. Instead of discussing in vain how to build perfect solutions, let's look closely at real-world case studies of people who have made tough calls and tradeoffs to move toward adaptive content in ways that solved actual problems.
Adaptive content requires a cultural shift in thinking, and along the way, we need to be able to allow ourselves some tradeoffs. Many situations today cannot realistically support, or even require, the chunkiest solution possible. When could a little WYSIWYG sometimes be a good thing? Is it heresy to allow the errant blob into your content management system for a special use case? As we defend the purity of content, it's also our responsibility as strategists to empower content creators to do their jobs well. Sure, the larger theory is exciting to think about, we'd like to talk more about the things we can actually start doing when we arrive to work the next morning.

In the last few years, a number of new security features have become available to web developers (e.g. Content Security Policy, Strict Transport Security) and a few more are coming up this year (e.g. Referrer Policy, Subresource Integrity). In addition to getting familiar with these, a number of recent high-profile bugs in the SSL/TLS protocol and implementations have forced developers to learn more about TLS ciphers and to start worrying about mixed content on their pages.
As a browser vendor and a member of the W3C WebAppSec working group, Mozilla is busy extending the web platform to provide the tools and features that developers and users need in 2015. This talk will give an overview of the security and privacy landscape on the web as well as pointers to what developers need to know to secure their applications.

CONFidence 2018: XSS is dead. We just don't get it (Mario Heiderich)PROIDEA
XSS is about twenty years old by now and appears to be alive and kicking. JavaScript alerts are still popping left and right and bug bounty programs are drowning in submissions. But is XSS really still a problem of our time? Or is it just an undead foul-smelling zombie vulnerability from the dark ages of string concatenation that doesn't wanna perish because we are just too f**** stubborn? This talk will be an hour-long rant (yes, swearwords, leave your kids at home), paired with a stroll through the history of XSS and related issues. We will go back into the year 1998 and see how it all started, how things developed, what we tried to do against it and how hard we failed every single time. We will also look at the future and predict what is about to happen next. Mostly nothing - but good to know, right? We will not only look at our own failures but also see how the entire infrastructure and monetization of the web contributed to us being simply not capable or even just willing to fix XSS. And we might as well see if any of those behavioral and structural patterns can be compared to other human failures - and see if there is something we all can learn. Or, at least, agree that we knew it all along and are all on the same page.
Stories? Scenarios? BDD? Are these just more words in the ever-growing list of jargon that developers have to know? Or are they something more important than new terms to memorise? In this session we'll look at how BDD fits into the software development work-flow, how to tell user stories through features, and how to automate them in Behat. These techniques will help to ensure you're writing well designed and tested software that focuses on what the users want from a system.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

BECAUSE YOU ALL TOTALLY CARE ABOUT THIS, RIGHT?!
ABOUT ME
▸ Senior Software Engineer at Viva IT
(those folks in orange hoodies at some conferences &
events you may have been to)
▸ @Brunty
▸ @PHPem
▸ mfyu.co.uk
▸ matt@mfyu.co.uk
3. @BruntyCSP: Let’s Break Stuff
BLAH BLAH… JUST GET ON WITH THE TALK
THINGS I DO
▸ Dungeon master for D&D campaigns
▸ Mentor, lead & teach apprentices and junior developers
▸ Run & organise PHP East Midlands
▸ Speak at user groups and conferences
▸ Break production sites with incorrectly configured
content security policies
4. @BruntyCSP: Let’s Break Stuff
OH GOOD, FINALLY WE’RE GETTING STARTED
A TALK IN 3 PARTS
▸ XSS
▸ CSP
▸ Break stuff
6. @BruntyCSP: Let’s Break Stuff
FIRST, SOME BACKGROUND
WHAT IS CROSS-SITE-SCRIPTING (XSS)?
▸ XSS enables an attacker to inject client-side scripts into
non-malicious web pages viewed by other users
▸ In 2016 there was a 61% likelihood of a browser-based
vulnerability being found in a web application
▸ Of those browser based vulnerabilities, 86% were found to
be XSS related
▸ That’s just over 52% of all web application vulnerabilities
https://www.edgescan.com/assets/docs/reports/2016-edgescan-stats-report.pdf
7. @BruntyCSP: Let’s Break Stuff
I MEAN, IT’S JUST A JOKE VULNERABILITY, RIGHT?!
WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH XSS?
▸ Put pictures of cats in web pages
▸ alert(‘💩’);
▸ Rickroll a user
▸ Twitter self-retweeting tweet
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zv0kZKC6GAM
▸ Samy worm
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samy_(computer_worm)
8. @BruntyCSP: Let’s Break Stuff
WELL… IT’S NOT A JOKE VULNERABILITY
WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH XSS?
▸ Make modifications to the DOM - replace a form action to
point to your own script to capture credentials.
▸ Use XMLHttpRequest to send HTTP requests and load in
additional resources
▸ Access HTML5 APIs - webcam, microphone, geolocation
▸ Steal cookies (and therefore steal session cookies)
10. @BruntyCSP: Let’s Break Stuff
IT’S REALLY NOT A JOKE VULNERABILITY
WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH XSS?
https://www.wired.com/2008/03/hackers-assault-epilepsy-patients-via-computer/
11. @BruntyCSP: Let’s Break Stuff
TYPES OF XSS ATTACK
STORED XSS (AKA PERSISTENT OR TYPE I)
▸ Occurs when input is stored - generally in a server-side
database, but not always
▸ This could also be within a HTML5 database, thus never
being sent to the server at all
▸ who.is was a site Rickrolled by a TXT record in the DNS of
a website (yes, really)
12. @BruntyCSP: Let’s Break Stuff
TYPES OF XSS ATTACK
REFLECTED XSS (AKA NON-PERSISTENT OR TYPE II)
▸ Occurs when user input provided in the request is
immediately returned - such as in an error message, search
string etc
▸ Data is not stored, and in some instances, may not even
reach the server (see the next type of XSS)
13. @BruntyCSP: Let’s Break Stuff
TYPES OF XSS ATTACK
DOM-BASED XSS (AKA TYPE-0)
▸ The entire flow of the attack takes place within the browser
▸ For example, if JavaScript in the site takes input, and uses
something like document.write based on that input, it can
be vulnerable to a DOM-based XSS attack
14. @BruntyCSP: Let’s Break Stuff
TYPES OF XSS ATTACK
SELF XSS
▸ Social-engineering form of XSS
▸ Requires the user to execute code in the browser
▸ Doing so via the console can’t be protected by a lot of
methods
▸ Not considered a ‘true’ XSS attack due to requiring the
user to execute the code
21. @BruntyCSP: Let’s Break Stuff
CSP TO THE RESCUE!
WHAT CAN WE PROTECT?
▸ default-src
▸ script-src
▸ style-src
▸ img-src
▸ form-action
▸ update-insecure-requests
22. @BruntyCSP: Let’s Break Stuff
FULL REFERENCE:https://content-security-policy.com
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Security-Policy
25. @BruntyCSP: Let’s Break Stuff
style-src ‘self'
ALLOW LOADING FROM SAME
SCHEME, HOST AND PORT
26. @BruntyCSP: Let’s Break Stuff
script-src 'unsafe-inline'
ALLOWS USE OF INLINE SOURCE
ELEMENTS SUCH AS STYLE
ATTRIBUTE, ONCLICK, OR SCRIPT
TAG BODIES
41. @BruntyCSP: Let’s Break Stuff
WAYS TO MAKE DEALING WITH A CSP EASIER
TIPS
▸ Have an easy and quick way to disable the CSP in
production if required
▸ Better yet, have a way to switch it from enforced to report
only so you can get violations reported to help you debug
▸ Add the CSP at an application level if you need a nonce
42. @BruntyCSP: Let’s Break Stuff
WAYS TO REMOVE BARRIERS IN DEVELOPMENT
NONCES
▸ Don’t generate multiple nonces in the same request (but
do generate a new nonce on each separate request)
▸ If using a templating engine (such as twig) - add the nonce
as a global so it’s available in every template by default
▸ Write a helper to generate tags with a nonce if it’s
available
