Everybody, Blueteam and Redteam players alike, are driven by incentives. Good incentives persuade us to do the right thing and patch our servers. Bad incentives make us eat unhealthy food and follow stupid security practices.
There is a huge resource problem in the IT industry and especially in the security industry. So you would expect people to pay attention to the existing incentives and th incentives they create with their documentation, their awareness trainings, their security reports, etc.
But reality paints a different picture: Bad incentives all around! We see insane security practices eating valuable time and online trainings annoying users, slowly teaching them to become a brainless zombie whenever they hear the keyword "security".
But it's even worse. I've come across incentives that lure companies into creating bad products and I've seen companies create products that incentivize their customers to waste their time and money.
Sometimes the mechanisms are too strong to fight. But sometimes it takes people like you and me to say NO and stand up for real security!
Follow me on a journey and security will never look the same to you again!

Comparison between Hyperinflation in Germany and ZimbabweRohan Bharaj
Germany and Zimbabwe both experienced periods of hyperinflation due to excessive money printing by their central banks.
In Germany in the 1920s, hyperinflation was caused by the large war debts from WWI and the occupation of the Ruhr Valley by France which led Germany to print more money. By late 1923, the monthly inflation rate was over 726 billion percent.
In Zimbabwe from the late 1990s to the late 2000s, hyperinflation resulted from the government printing money to fund war spending and corruption as well as from land reforms that reduced agricultural production. Inflation reached rates of 79.6 billion percent in November 2008.
Both countries saw devastating economic and social impacts from hyperinflation including short

OWASP ModSecurity - A few plot twists and what feels like a happy endChristian Folini
This is about the history and the future of OWASP ModSecurity. The venerable WAF engine was transferred for OWASP in January 2024. This presentation looks back and presents a project plan moving forward.
Never Walk Alone - Inspirations from a Growing OWASP ProjectChristian Folini
The OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set (CRS) was a dormant project, when a group of three developers picked it up in 2016. Today, this open source web application firewall project counts 14 active developers, annual sponsoring of over 40K USD and the rules run on over 100Tbit/s. This presentation explains how the new management took over the project and developed it in three key areas: (1) the code, (2) the developers and (3) the users and partners. The growth of OWASP CRS serves as an example how you can grow and mature your project too.
What’s new in CRS4? An Update from the OWASP CRS projectChristian Folini
Christian Folini presented news and updates about the OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set (CRS) project. Some key points included:
- Trustwave announced end of life for their ModSecurity product and a new open source WAF engine called Coraza.
- The CRS documentation was overhauled and a sandbox and private bug bounty program were launched.
- Major changes in CRS v4 include a plugins architecture, early blocking, configurable reporting levels and removing PCRE dependency.
- New rules are being added around SSRF, email protocols, Log4Shell, webshell detection and improved RCE and SQLi detection.
- The CRS v4 release was delayed to fix issues

The document promotes the CRS as a first line of defense against web attacks and provides resources for additional tutorials, courses, and support.
The Adventurous Tale of Online Voting in Switzerland (Usenix Enigma 2021 conf...Christian Folini
The Swiss tale with online voting serves as a typical example of the iterative development of highly critical IT systems and the growing involvement of scientists as a necessary step for a government that is willing to learn from past mistakes.
Switzerland has been experimenting with online voting for over 15 years. Several generations of electronic voting systems have been implemented and almost all of them died along the way because of their profound security problems or when the money ran out.
In 2019, Swiss Post published the source code of its online voting system, the last system that was still in the race. Several highly critical findings were discovered in a matter of weeks and the system was stopped right before the national elections.
In 2020, the government rebooted the process and invited two dozen international researchers into an intense dialogue that lasted several months. The resulting report is the base for the renewed regulation that will pave the way forward in 2021.
Introduction to ModSecurity and the OWASP Core Rule SetChristian Folini
This document discusses ModSecurity and the OWASP Core Rule Set (CRS). ModSecurity is an open source web application firewall that can be embedded into servers. It uses rules to provide granular control over requests and responses. The CRS is a set of generic rules that can block 80% of common web attacks in its default configuration with minimal false positives. It is organized into different rule groups and has different paranoia levels to control security and false positives. The presentation demonstrates how to install and configure ModSecurity and CRS to provide a first line of defense against web application attacks.
Folini Extended Introduction to ModSecurity and CRS3Christian Folini
This document provides an introduction to ModSecurity and the OWASP Core Rule Set (CRS) presented by Christian Folini. The presentation covers what a web application firewall (WAF) and ModSecurity are, an overview of the CRS including rule groups and paranoia levels, how to install and configure ModSecurity with the CRS, and handling false positives. The goal of ModSecurity and CRS is to provide a first line of defense against web application attacks and block around 80% of attacks with minimal false positives in the default installation.
We have been building castles and fortifications for thousands of years. Many of them were never breached. IT security, on the other hand, is a very young discipline where defense mechanisms have not really stood the test of time and breaches are happening every day.
Looking at historical defense techniques and fortress architectures can therefore serve as an inspiration for strong IT security architectures. This presentation looks at agile and flexible defenses, layered security and whitelisting. None of these concepts are entirely new to the IT security industry. But implementations usually stop with the buzzword or at the network level. This talk brings evidence for the effectiveness of the concepts across the centuries and hopes to help them achieve a breakthrough on all levels.
Furthermore, the talk educates the audience about medieval castles and how the metaphor can be put to use when explaining complicated IT security concepts to non-technical audiences. Again, the metaphor is not new, but people are usually only scratching the surface when they talk of medieval castles and modern servers.
- Trend I: DDoS attacks are increasing in size over time
- Trend II: More attacks are targeting applications instead of just bandwidth or servers
- Trend III: Increased encryption makes defense against DDoS attacks more difficult
- CDNs like Cloudflare play a large role in defending against DDoS attacks and their infrastructure controls much of the internet
- Using local route announcements could guarantee better geographic blocking of attacks but risks balkanizing the internet
- Nation states may fail to protect internet traffic that moves outside their jurisdictions
Christian Folini gave a presentation on optimizing ModSecurity on NGINX and NGINX Plus. Some key points:
- ModSecurity is an open source web application firewall that provides a rule-based system. The OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set (CRS) is the default rule set that blocks over 80% of attacks.
- To use ModSecurity with NGINX, one must compile ModSecurity 3.0 and the ModSecurity NGINX connector module, then compile NGINX with the connector. Alternatively, precompiled binaries are available with NGINX Plus.
- Initial optimization steps include adjusting the anomaly threshold, learning to read logs using aliases, and handling false positives by
A General Look at the State of Security - AFCEA 2017Christian Folini
Overview presentation for the participants of the AFCEA Hack conference within AFCEA TechNet 2017 in Stockholm, October 10, 2017.
The overview covers the topics dependency / complexity / interoperability, online crime, digitalisation, spear phishing, manipulation, internet of things, and denial of service.
The CRS is a set of generic attack detection rules for use with ModSecurity or compatible web application firewalls that saw a new major release in November 2016 (3.0 -> CRS3). CRS is the 1st line of defense against web application attacks like those summarized in the OWASP Top Ten and all with a minimum of false alerts.
This talk demonstrates the installation of the rule set and introduces the most important groups of rules. It covers key concepts like anomaly scoring and thresholds, paranoia levels, stricter siblings and the sampling mode. The important handling of false positives is also covered as well as pre-defined lists of rule exclusions for popular web applications helping to avoid false positives.
This presentation was delivered at AppSecEU 2017 in Belfast.
Running ModSecurity with the OWASP ModSecurity Core Rules is hard. A huge wave of false positives drowns sysadmins and logfile servers alike. The upcoming 3.0.0 release of the Core Rules comes with a new paranoia mode. This feature organises the various rules in different paranoia levels. The higher the paranoia level, the more paranoid the rules and the more false positives you will get. However, the default installation gives you a decent security level without too many false positives. This allows for a straight forward ModSecurity setup which is not threatening an existing productive service. Instead you start with a limited set of rules and then you raise the paranoia level step by step to the number that suits the desired security level of your site. In this talk, we will look at the configuration of the paranoia mode. We will look at rules and we will look at ModSecurity defending against popular attack kits at various paranoia levels

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away

Two Levels of Bad Incentives
Level 2
Deliberately following or
