TECHNICAL WHITE PAPER▶ Symantec Website Security Threat ReportSymantec
The biggest story in 2014 was, of course, the Heartbleed bug, which shook the foundations of Internet security. This wasn’t about criminals being clever; it was about the inherent vulnerabilities of human-built software, and it reminded everyone of the need for vigilance, better implementation, and more diligent website security.
Of course, while Heartbleed hit the headlines, criminals were still hard at work making their own opportunities for exploitation, theft and disruption. 2014 saw criminals grow more professional, sophisticated, and aggressive in their tactics to the detriment of businesses and individuals alike.
This document provides an overview of website security threats in 2015 according to a Symantec report. It finds that high-profile vulnerabilities like Heartbleed and Shellshock left many websites at risk in 2014 and these vulnerabilities were quickly exploited by cybercriminals. The total number of reported vulnerabilities continues to rise each year, underscoring the importance of applying software updates and practicing diligent website security. Criminal cyberattacks are also growing more sophisticated with specializations and online marketplaces developing.
What Makes Web Applications Desirable For HackersJaime Manteiga
Unethical hackers target web applications for several reasons including financial gain, ideology, fun, and espionage. They communicate and sell stolen data on dark web forums using cryptocurrency, with some data selling for as little as $10. To protect applications, developers should follow best practices like the OWASP Top 10, implement web application firewalls, conduct security scans and assessments, and formalize a secure software development lifecycle.

Pixels Camp 2017 - Stories from the trenches of building a data architectureTiago Henriques
We live in a Data-centric era. Nowadays we have at our disposal an enormous variety of services using data. Behind those services there are architectures supporting the flowing and processing of that data. BinaryEdge.io is no exception. Supporting our platform, we have a data architecture processing 1000s of events per second, which was built and is currently maintained by us. In this talk we are going to review the parts that compose a data architecture, and discuss which tools can be used at each step to arrive at a functional architecture. Note that the insights given will not be based of theoretical documents or truckloads of years of experience, but on our own experience of building and maintaining a large scale data infrastructure and architecture
The document discusses the February issue of (IN)SECURE Magazine. It mentions that the issue focuses on Android security and includes articles on web security, shellcode, mobile security, and more. It also notes that the RSA Conference will be held later in February, which the magazine will cover. It provides contact information for the magazine.
Ransomware became a major cyberthreat in 2016, especially in the United States. Ransomware payments increased 771% from 2015 to 2016. The healthcare and education industries were among the most affected. In 2017, experts predict that ransomware will continue to spread rapidly across more devices and sectors. New variants will emerge using improved encryption and different delivery methods. Ransomware criminals are expected to make over $5 billion. Strong backups remain the best defense against ransomware attacks.

Grift horse money stealing trojan takes 10m android users for a rideRoen Branham
Watch the full episode on Youtube: https://youtu.be/M5Gsjwsnxtg
More than 10 million Android users have been saddled with a malware called GriftHorse that’s trojanizing various applications and secretly subscribing victims to premium mobile services – a type of billing fraud that researchers categorize as “fleeceware.”
Zimperium uncovered more than 130 GriftHorse apps being distributed through both Google Play and third-party application stores, across all categories. Some of them have basic functionality, and some of them do nothing, researchers said. In either case, once installed, they lead to victims being billed for premium services – but phone-owners are usually none the wiser until they take a look at their mobile bills.
The Dark Web consists of World Wide Web content existing on darknets, which are overlay networks that use the Internet, but require specific software, configurations, or authorization to access. The Dark Web forms a small part of the Deep Web - the part of the web not indexed by search engines - although sometimes the term, Deep Web, is mistakenly used to refer specifically to the Dark Web. Credit: Marlabs Inc
Botnets have grown larger, more resilient, and better camouflaged. They are finding new ways to generate revenue through ransomware and bitcoin mining. Android malware is also evolving, with threats becoming more sophisticated at avoiding detection and removal. While no single Android malware is dominant, the most widespread is Andr/BBridge-A, which has demonstrated longevity since first being detected in 2012. There are some signs of progress, such as Google improving Android security and the arrest of an exploit kit author, but threats continue advancing techniques.
Symantec's Internet Security Threat Report for the Government SectorSymantec
Symantec has established the most comprehensive source of Internet threat data in the world through the Symantec Global Intelligence Network, which is made up of more than 41.5 million attack sensors and records thousands of events per second. This network monitors threat activity in over 157 countries and territories through a combination of Symantec products and services such as Symantec DeepSight Threat Management System, Symantec Managed Security Services, Norton consumer products, and other third-party data sources.
In addition, Symantec maintains one of the world’s most comprehensive vulnerability databases, currently consisting of more than 60,000 recorded vulnerabilities (spanning more than two decades) from over 19,000 vendors representing over 54,000 products.
Spam, phishing, and malware data is captured through a variety of sources including the Symantec Probe Network, a system of more than 5 million decoy accounts, Symantec.cloud, and a number of other Symantec security technologies. Skeptic, the Symantec.cloud proprietary heuristic technology, is able to detect new and sophisticated targeted threats before they reach customers’ networks. Over 8.4 billion email messages are processed each month and more than 1.7 billion web requests filtered each day across 14 data centers. Symantec also gathers phishing information through an extensive anti-fraud community of enterprises, security vendors, and more than 50 million consumers.
Symantec Trust Services provides 100 percent availability and processes over 6 billion Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) look-ups per day, which are used for obtaining the revocation status of X.509 digital certificates around the world. These resources give Symantec analysts unparalleled sources of data with which to identify, analyze, and provide informed commentary on emerging trends in attacks, malicious code activity, phishing, and spam. The result is the annual Symantec Internet Security Threat Report, which gives enterprises, small businesses, and consumers essential information to secure their system effectively now and into the future.
Open Source Information Gathering Brucon EditionChris Gates
This document provides information on open source intelligence (OSINT) techniques for information gathering. It discusses performing passive, semi-passive, and active information gathering. Key areas of focus are infrastructure intelligence gathering to identify networks and domains, and people/organization intelligence gathering to find emails, metadata in documents, and profiles of employees. A variety of tools are recommended to automate the process, including Maltego, theHarvester, FOCA, and APIs from services like Zoominfo.
The document provides 10 steps to safeguard a business from growing cyber threats. It notes that 72% of attacks target user identities and applications rather than servers and networks. The document then explores the current security landscape, why and how businesses may be vulnerable, and profiles different types of hackers including cyber criminals, state-sponsored attackers, hacktivists, and cyber terrorists. It discusses how new ways of working and an increasingly digital world have increased complexity and opportunities for cyber attacks.
Cybercriminals will continue to exploit new technologies like machine learning and blockchain in 2018:
- Ransomware and digital extortion will remain lucrative criminal business models, fueled by ransomware-as-a-service and cryptocurrencies like bitcoin.
- Vulnerabilities in IoT devices will expand the attack surface as more devices connect to networks.
- Losses from business email compromise scams will exceed $9 billion globally as these scams prove effective through social engineering.
- Cyberpropaganda efforts will spread using tried-and-true spam techniques on social media to manipulate public opinion.
- Threat actors will leverage machine learning and blockchain to advance their evasion techniques and stay one

Are you wondering why your inbox of your emails is filled with junk mail every day? or why hackers are able to recognize your username when they try to take your password? Most likely, your data was disclosed through security breaches.
The Bitdefender study has found that internet users have accounts on an average of eight online platforms that include social media, online shopping platforms and video streaming utility providers, and many more. Criminals are determined to gathering this information and making use of it to attack us.
Cybercrime is classified into different stages or stages, or. It includes those who execute attacks that steal customer data; those that market the data to the highest bidders on the dark web and finally, those who buy the data and use it for fraud and extortion or to launch attacks on those whose information was compromised in the hack.

This short presentation looks at why you need to view information security as an ecosystem and how you can get intelligence on the big picture.
Combating cyber security through forensic investigation toolsVenkata Sreeram
cyber security's important because it encompasses everything that pertains to protecting our sensitive data, personally identifiable information (PII), protected health information (PHI), personal information, intellectual property, data, and governmental and industry information systems from theft and damage attempted by criminals and adversaries.
Cyber security risk is increasing, driven by global connectivity and usage of cloud services, like Amazon Web Services, to store sensitive data and personal information. Widespread poor configuration of cloud services paired with increasingly sophisticated cyber criminals means the risk that your organization suffers from a successful cyber attack or data breach is on the rise.
Gone are the days of simple firewalls and antivirus software being your sole security measures. Business leaders can no longer leave information security to cyber security professionals.
Cyber security and attack analysis : how Cisco uses graph analyticsLinkurious
Linkurious is a French startup that uses graph analytics and visualization to help organizations make sense of complex, interconnected data and gain insights. For example, Cisco uses graphs to model cybersecurity data like domains and IP addresses, allowing them to identify connections between known bad domains and previously unknown domains involved in attacks. They can then block these new domains to prevent further attacks. The document provides an example of how Cisco might use graph analysis and visualization to identify additional domains connected to an initial phishing attack and help prevent the attack from spreading.
Digital Shadows Helps Large Retailer Navigate Extortion AttemptDigital Shadows
A large retailer received an extortion email threatening a denial-of-service attack unless a ransom was paid. They contacted Digital Shadows for assistance. Digital Shadows analyzed the email's IP address, bitcoin address, and unique strings. Within three hours, they reported that the actor did not have the capability to execute the threatened attack. Based on this, the retailer decided not to pay the ransom and was not attacked.
The document summarizes an internship done by Abhilash Yadav from July 7th to August 29th. It was divided into the following phases:

Cyber terrorists are sophisticated, organized and disruptive to your business. How prepared are you? Explore the landscape of malicious actors most likely to strike your business and what you can do about it.
KPMG performed research on the FTSE 350 constituent companies to analyze their cybersecurity vulnerabilities from publicly available information on corporate websites and documents. They found that over 53% of corporate websites were supported by outdated and vulnerable web server software. On average, they identified 3 potential vulnerabilities per company. They also found companies leaked sensitive internal information through metadata in documents, including an average of 41 usernames and 44 email addresses per company. Certain sectors like utilities leaked the most internal usernames. The report concludes that companies should minimize publishing unnecessary information and better protect sensitive employee accounts and roles to reduce cyber risks.
We at Kaspersky Lab believe that the online world should be free from attacks and state-sponsored espionage. And we've been standing by this belief for over 20 years, catching all kinds of cyberthreats, regardless of their origin.

A global retailer was concerned about domains impersonating their brand identity online. They used Digital Shadows' SearchLight tool to monitor for variations of their domain name. Within a year, SearchLight detected almost 2,000 impersonating domains, far more than the average of 300. One domain was selling counterfeit goods, so the retailer worked with Digital Shadows to pursue a managed takedown. The takedown was confirmed within two days, and working with law enforcement, the retailer received a financial return from apprehending the perpetrators.

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.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

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.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.
