Blackhat Europe 2009 - Detecting Certified Pre Owned SoftwareTyler Shields
The document discusses detecting "certified pre-owned" software, or software containing backdoors. It describes how static analysis of software binaries can detect various types of application backdoors, including special credentials, unintended network activity, and deliberate information leakage. The document focuses on detecting indicators that software is trying to hide its behavior, such as rootkit behavior and anti-debugging techniques, through static analysis of the software code. Rules can be developed for static analyzers to inspect software for these types of backdoor behaviors and indicators.
Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts a victim's files and demands ransom payment in order to decrypt the files. It infects devices through vulnerabilities and techniques like phishing emails. Once installed, it maps and encrypts files before displaying a ransom note. Victims can protect themselves by backing up data, patching systems, and using antivirus software.
Keyloggers record keyboard inputs to steal credentials and sensitive information. They can be installed through malicious websites or applications. Users should verify email and website legitimacy, use strong unique passwords, and avoid entering information on public devices. Antivirus software and firewalls can help prevent keylogging.
Rootkits are difficult to detect malware that gains control of systems

Stop Attacks and Mitigate Risk with Application and Device ControlSymantec
Application and device control features in Symantec Endpoint Protection allow organizations to restrict applications and devices used on endpoints, mitigate risks, and prevent attacks. These features whitelist approved applications and devices, blacklist those known to be bad, and block unauthorized access. They also prevent data loss through external storage devices and help enforce corporate security policies and compliance standards.
This document discusses and compares signature-based and behavior-based anti-malware approaches. Signature-based detection identifies malware by matching patterns in software to known malware signatures but is susceptible to evasion and cannot detect new malware. Behavior-based detection monitors program behaviors and flags anomalous behaviors as potentially malicious, but it can produce false positives and be evaded through mimicry attacks. The document also describes specification-based monitoring, a behavior-based technique that mediates program events according to security policies.

This document provides an overview of software protection objectives and techniques. The key objectives of software protection are to prevent intellectual property theft, secure business models, and prevent cyber attacks. Techniques discussed include encrypting code to prevent static analysis, anti-tampering measures to prevent code modification, and obfuscation to make reverse engineering time-consuming. The limitations are that fully preventing analysis and modification is not possible if an attacker can retrieve and execute the code. The goal is to increase costs compared to rewriting the software from scratch.
The document discusses various aspects of program security including types of flaws, malicious code, and controls against threats. It describes different types of flaws such as buffer overflows, incomplete mediation, and time-of-check to time-of-use errors. Malicious code like viruses, trojan horses, and worms are also explained. Controls during software development include following principles of modularity, encapsulation, and information hiding. Techniques like code reviews and testing aim to identify and fix flaws to enhance program security.
The CCleaner utility was infected with malware for a period of time, allowing hackers to distribute malware to millions of users. The legitimate version of CCleaner 5.33 contained malware that was installed along with the program. The hackers were able to do this by compromising part of the development or build environment and inserting malware into the CCleaner version that was publicly released. This attack exploited the trust relationship between software developers and users to widely distribute malware through a popular cleaning utility.
Software are programs that enable computers to perform tasks by processing instructions. There are two main types: system software like operating systems, utilities, and drivers; and application software for specific tasks like word processing, games, etc. Software can be proprietary, sold commercially, freeware, or open source. It is installed from physical media or downloaded, and some common file types are associated with applications like .doc files for Word.

Investigation of CryptoLocker Ransomware Trojans - Microsoft WindowsAaron ND Sawmadal
The document discusses the CryptoLocker ransomware threat and strategies to defend against it. CryptoLocker infects systems by tricking users into executing malicious files, then encrypts files using a randomly generated key. It threatens to delete the encryption key unless a ransom is paid. The best defenses include application whitelisting, limiting administrator privileges, firewalls, intrusion detection systems and keeping systems patched and backed up. In the event of infection, the affected machine should be isolated while restoring data from backups. Ongoing user education and security policies are also important to mitigate the ransomware risk.

We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
