While vendors issue fixes, it notes that fully preventing abuse of these virtual machine behaviors is difficult and some techniques remain unfixed. It concludes with questions about using these kinds of attacks to bypass security systems on virtual machines.
The document describes a simulated hacking game scenario involving a compromised POS terminal infected with malware. It details the components of the botnet architecture including bot nodes, command and control infrastructure, and social media propagation. Diagrams show the network layout and communication channels. The document also examines the bot's components, capabilities, and protection mechanisms such as bytecode encryption and anti-debugging techniques. Hints are provided to help players progress in the game by bypassing defenses and achieving objectives over multiple days.
This document discusses software obfuscation techniques using C++ metaprogramming. It presents several implementations of string obfuscation using templates to encrypt strings at compile-time. It also discusses obfuscating function calls using finite state machines generated with metaprogramming. Debugger detection is added to fight dynamic analysis. The techniques aim to make reverse engineering and static/dynamic analysis more difficult without changing program semantics.
This document discusses techniques for bypassing security products on Windows systems by manipulating process and registry notification callbacks. It shows how the Mimikatz tool can be used to find and modify these callbacks to prevent security products from receiving important notifications. Specifically, it demonstrates patching a callback routine to do nothing, and notes unlinking callbacks from the notification list is also possible but requires more work. The conclusion is this approach allows killing any security tool while making it appear still active from a monitoring perspective.

Advanced cfg bypass on adobe flash player 18 defcon russia 23DefconRussia
This document describes an advanced technique to bypass Control Flow Guard (CFG) protections on Adobe Flash Player 18 and Windows 8.1. It details how the researchers were able to generate indirect call instructions in just-in-time (JIT) compiled Flash code to redirect execution to controlled addresses, bypassing CFG. This was done by manipulating parameters passed between functions to influence the JIT compiler's code generation and produce the desired indirect call opcodes. The technique allowed full control-flow hijacking on the protected systems.
Specializing the Data Path - Hooking into the Linux Network StackKernel TLV
Ever needed to add your custom logic into the network stack?
Ever hacked the network stack but wasn't certain you're doing it right?
Shmulik Ladkani talks about various mechanisms for customizing packet processing logic to the network stack's data path.
He covers covering topics such as packet sockets, netfilter hooks, traffic control actions and ebpf. We will discuss their applicable use-cases, advantages and disadvantages.

Buffer overflows have been the most common security vulnerability for the last few years. These are considered as one of the oldest and more reliable methods. Due to the latest linux defences it has become difficult to attack using traditional buffer overflow technique . This led to the development of the return-oriented programming technique.
Return-oriented programming is a type of security attack, in which you can take the control over saved instruction pointer and can induce unpredictable behavior in a program in which exploit is under our control without injecting any malicious code.
In this presentation I will trace the origins of ROP and some related techniques such as Call and Jump Oriented Programming as well as some advanced techniques like JIT-ROP, BROP and SROP.
The document discusses ways to determine where functions in a Linux kernel module are called from without using a debugger like JTAG or KGDB. It presents two methods:
1. Using the GCC built-in function __builtin_return_address(0) inside a macro to print the return address and lookup the calling function symbol. This shows the direct caller but may only show one level in ARM.
2. Calling the dump_stack() function, which prints a stack trace like panic() does. This can show the full call sequence back to the initial caller. The example prints the calls to a test module's init and exit functions.
Both methods allow determining the direct and indirect callers without an external

Bytes in the Machine: Inside the CPython interpreterakaptur
This document discusses Byterun, an interpreter for Python written in Python. It explains key concepts in interpreting Python like lexing, parsing, compiling and interpreting. It describes how a Python virtual machine works using a stack and frames. It shows Python bytecode and how an interpreter executes instructions like LOAD_FAST, BINARY_MODULO, and RETURN_VALUE. It demonstrates that instructions must account for Python's dynamic nature, like strings being able to use % formatting like integers. The goal is to build an interpreter that can run Python programs directly in Python.
This document discusses the Linux tracing tool systemtap. It provides an overview of systemtap and what it can be used for, including tracing system calls, kernel functions, and application functions. It also discusses how systemtap works, how it uses debugging symbols, and how RPMs handle separate debug information files. Several examples are given of using systemtap probes to trace requests for Nginx, cURL, Redis, MySQL, and TCP retransmissions. The document concludes by mentioning using DTrace for other languages beyond C, such as MySQL, Python, and Java.
Feldo: Function Event Listing and Dynamic Observing for Detecting and Prevent...Tzung-Bi Shih
This document summarizes the OSX.KeRanger ransomware. It begins by describing how the ransomware attaches itself as a disk image and drops a file called General.rtf. It then analyzes how General.rtf is UPX packed and unlinks itself to hide. It explains how the ransomware daemonizes and waits before generating a UUID and communicating with its command and control server to receive an RSA public key and ransom statement. Finally, it details how the ransomware encrypts files based on specific file extensions except for a few file types like README_FOR_DECRYPT.txt.
Rich and Snappy Apps (No Scaling Required)Thomas Fuchs
Presentation by Amy Hoy and Thomas Fuchs about front-end web application performance at Kings of Code, Amsterdam, June 2009.
Main topics are loading-time performance, JavaScript tuning and progress indication.
Note that without the audio this is probably not very useful and it's mainly intended for attendees of the talk.
This document summarizes the OSD op processing workflow in Ceph. It begins with messages like osd_op being received by OSD::ms_fast_dispatch. The op is then enqueued to the PG by OSD::enqueue_op. PrimaryLogPG processes the op through methods like do_request, do_op, and execute_ctx. It issues a repop, which is submitted to the PGBackend. The backend applies the changes, logs to the PG log, and sends ops to replicas. Replicas process the repop through similar methods and send a reply.

Node.js API
Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform, back-end, JavaScript runtime environment that executes JavaScript code outside a web browser. Node.js lets developers use JavaScript to write command line tools and for server-side scripting—running scripts server-side to produce dynamic web page content before the page is sent to the user's web browser. Consequently, Node.js represents a "JavaScript everywhere" paradigm,[6] unifying web-application development around a single programming language, rather than different languages for server- and client-side scripts.
This document describes a project called ZoneIDAProc that aims to provide an interface for accessing internal process states. It discusses related work, the problem statement, design, implementation details, examples, and conclusions. The key points are that ZoneIDAProc will export a Linux proc-like interface to allow querying and manipulating a process's internal states through code instrumentation and a virtual file system without requiring debug symbols. It provides examples of basic read/write access, monitoring a main thread with a spy thread, exploring process symbols, and fully instrumenting and accessing a target program.
The document describes the implementation of locks and conditions variables in an operating system project. It includes code for a Lock class that uses a semaphore to synchronize access with its Acquire and Release methods. It also includes code for a Condition class that allows threads to wait on and signal conditions, managing a wait queue of semaphores. The document concludes by briefly explaining the dining philosophers problem in concurrent programming and some potential solutions like using tokens to establish turns.
Migrating KSM page causes the VM lock up as the KSM page merging list is too ...Gavin Guo
The document describes an issue where VMs were soft locking up on a host machine after numad was enabled and several VMs were running on the same host. Investigation found that the KSM page merging list was extremely long, with over 2 million entries merged into a single page, consuming around 9.2GB of memory. This was causing tasks like ksmd, khugepaged, and qemu-system-x86 to wait on locks and become unresponsive. Addressing this likely requires limits on the size of the KSM page merging list to prevent a single page from dominating memory usage.
The document discusses analyzing crashes using WinDbg. It provides tips on reconstructing crashed call stacks and investigating what thread or lock is causing a hang. The debugging commands discussed include !analyze, !locks, .cxr, kb to find the crashing function and stuck thread.
The document analyzes and de-virtualizes the FinSpy malware sample. It finds the malware uses virtualization techniques to hide its execution through a virtual machine-like implementation. The author details analyzing the virtual machine code and operations, then describes decrypting and de-obfuscating the virtual machine to generate equivalent native x86 code. Finally, it summarizes the malware's anti-analysis and evasion techniques as well as finding it drops additional payloads depending on the environment.

It discusses obtaining the system call table, hooking system calls through various methods like direct modification of the table, inline hooking of system call code, and patching the system call handler. It also presents the idea of abusing debug registers to generate exceptions and intercept system calls. The goal is to conceal running processes, files, and other system data from detection.
This document provides an overview of the 8051 microcontroller including its memory architecture, data types, ports, timers, interrupts, and interrupt priorities. Key points include:
- The 8051 has 8-bit data width, 8-bit registers, and 8-bit addresses, limiting it to 256 bytes of internal memory.
- It has two timers that can generate interrupts and one timer can provide a programmable baud rate for serial communication.
- Interrupts allow parallel tasking and immediate reaction to events like serial data arrival or timer overflow.
- Interrupt priorities and enables allow controlling which interrupts can occur.
The document describes exploiting a vulnerability in the Nebula Death Stick Services website. It finds that arbitrary files can be read via the ?page= parameter. It then uses this to read the binary and determine the environment. It constructs a ROP chain using gadgets in the binary to hijack control flow, modify the GOT to point execve to the libc execve function, and spawn a shell. It builds the ROP chain on a custom stack location by abusing sprintf calls to transfer bytes.
The document discusses exploiting a buffer overflow vulnerability in Internet Explorer's VML implementation (MS06-055) to execute arbitrary code. It describes overwriting the structured exception handler to gain control of the instruction pointer, using heap spraying to load a buffer in memory, and having the instruction pointer jump to the buffer to execute shellcode and spawn a command shell. Metasploit is introduced as an open-source framework for developing exploits.
This program controls a robot using a microcontroller. It defines pins for sensors and motors, includes libraries, and declares interrupt routines to control pulse-width modulation for motor speed. The main routine initializes ports, timers and interrupts, then calls functions for the robot to scan its environment, turn right, and repeat in a loop.
Hot Code is Faster Code - Addressing JVM Warm-upMark Price
What is the JVM warm-up problem, and how does it affect our software? How can we aid the runtime in optimising our programs, and is it even a good idea to do so?
This presentation explores the lifecycle of Java code, and how the JVM evolves the runtime representation of code during program execution. From bytecode to assembly and back again (via some uncommon traps), we will cover practical tips on ensuring that Java code is running fast when it matters most.

Linux has this great tool called strace, on OSX there’s a tool called dtruss - based on dtrace. Dtruss is great in functionality, it gives pretty much everything you need. It is just not as nice to use as strace. However, on Linux there is also ltrace for library tracing. That is arguably more useful because you can see much more granular application activity. Unfortunately, there isn’t such a tool on OSX. So, I decided to make one - albeit a simpler version for now. I called it objc_trace.
The document provides an introduction to pwn, which refers to fully controlling another person's device by exploiting vulnerabilities. It discusses what pwn is, how to infiltrate systems, common exploitation techniques like buffer overflows, and gives an example lab outline. The key points are that pwn involves using exploits to gain unauthorized access and control of servers by leveraging bugs in binaries or logic flaws. Common vulnerabilities include unfiltered user input, array index errors, and logical flaws.
An introduction to exploit development.
I gave this talk at Hack the North 2014, and most of this information is pulled out of classics like Smashing the Stack for Fun and Profit, so there shouldn't be anything novel in here.
The document discusses various techniques for debugging Linux kernel modules and device drivers, including:
1) Using printk statements to output debugging messages from within the kernel.
2) Examining the interaction between kernel and userspace using strace to see system calls.
3) Adding entries to /proc filesystem for additional output.
4) Enabling kernel debugging with kgdb or hardware debuggers.
5) Common error types like kernel panics and oops messages that indicate issues.

Consistent toolbox talks are critical for maintaining workplace safety, as they provide regular opportunities to address specific hazards and reinforce safe practices.
These brief, focused sessions ensure that safety is a continual conversation rather than a one-time event, which helps keep safety protocols fresh in employees' minds. Studies have shown that shorter, more frequent training sessions are more effective for retention and behavior change compared to longer, infrequent sessions.
Engaging workers regularly, toolbox talks promote a culture of safety, empower employees to voice concerns, and ultimately reduce the likelihood of accidents and injuries on site.
The traditional method of conducting safety talks with paper documents and lengthy meetings is not only time-consuming but also less effective. Manual tracking of attendance and compliance is prone to errors and inconsistencies, leading to gaps in safety communication and potential non-compliance with OSHA regulations. Switching to a digital solution like Safelyio offers significant advantages.
Safelyio automates the delivery and documentation of safety talks, ensuring consistency and accessibility. The microlearning approach breaks down complex safety protocols into manageable, bite-sized pieces, making it easier for employees to absorb and retain information.
This method minimizes disruptions to work schedules, eliminates the hassle of paperwork, and ensures that all safety communications are tracked and recorded accurately. Ultimately, using a digital platform like Safelyio enhances engagement, compliance, and overall safety performance on site. https://safelyio.com/
