Identifying Web Servers: A First-look Into the Future of Web Server Fingerpri...Jeremiah Grossman
Identifying Web Servers: A First-look Into the Future of Web Server Fingerprinting
Jeremiah Grossman, Founder & Chairman of WhiteHat Security, Inc.
Many diligent security professionals take active steps to limit the amount of system specific information a publicly available system may yield to a remote user. These preventative measures may take the form of modifying service banners, firewalls, web site information, etc.
Software utilities such as NMap have given the security community an excellent resource to discover what type of Operating System and version is listening on a particular IP. This process is achieved by mapping subtle, yet, distinguishable nuances unique to each OS. But, this is normally where the fun ends, as NMap does not enable we user's to determine what version of services are listening. This is up to us to guess or to find out through other various exploits.
This is where we start our talk, fingerprinting Web Servers. These incredibly diverse and useful widespread services notoriously found listening on port 80 and 443 just waiting to be explored. Many web servers by default will readily give up the type and version of the web server via the "Server" HTTP response header. However, many administrators aware of this fact have become increasingly clever in recent months by removing or altering any and all traces of this telltale information.
These countermeasures lead us to the obvious question; could it STILL possible to determine a web servers platform and version even after all known methods of information leakage prevention have been exhausted (either by hack or configuration)?
The simple answer is "yes"; it is VERY possible to still identify the web server. But, the even more interesting question is; just how much specific information can we obtain remotely?
Are we able to determine?
* Supported HTTP Request Methods.
* Current Service Pack.
* Patch Levels.
* Configuarations.
* If an Apache Server suffers from a "chunked" vulnerability.
Is really possible to determine this specific information using a few simple HTTP requests? Again, the simple answer is yes, the possibility exists.
Proof of concept tools and command line examples will be demonstrated throughout the talk to illustrate these new ideas and techniques. Various countermeasures will also be explored to protect your IIS or Apache web server from various fingerprinting techniques.
Prerequisites:
General understanding of Web Server technology and HTTP.
This short seminar presentation discusses the basic idea of my dissertation. It uncovers the main ideas of a three players conflict in missile guidance with bounded controls.

Digital Astroturfing: Definition, typology, and countermeasures.Marko Kovic
Note: This presentation was given at the 69th annual conference of the World Association of Public Opinion Research in Austin, Texas, on May 11, 2016.
---
In recent years, several instances of political actors creating fake grassroots activity on the Internet have been uncovered. We propose to call such fake online grassroots activity digital astroturfing. In this paper, we lay out a conceptual map of the phenomenon of digital astroturfing. To that end, we first define digital astroturfing as a form of manufactured, deceptive and strategic top-down activity on the Internet initiated by political actors that mimics bottom-up activity by autonomous individuals. Next, we explore a typology of digital astroturfing according to the dimensions of the target of digital astroturfing, the political actors who engage in digital astroturfing and the goals of the digital astroturfing activity. Following the discussion of our proposed typology, we introduce the concept of digital astroturfing repertoires, the possible combinations of tools, venues and actions used for digital astroturfing efforts. Finally, we discuss how to prevent or curb digital astroturfing by implementing certain restrictive or incentivizing countermeasures. The main use of this conceptual study is to serve as a basis for future empirical work. Even though empirical research on digital astroturfing is inherently difficult since digital astroturfing is a clandestine activity, it is not impossible. We suggest some possible research strategies.
Designing Countermeasures For Tomorrows ThreatsDarwish Ahmad
Abstract:
Internet and network security is the most important and top priority issues for almost all types of organizations, for instance, military divisions, ministries, banks, other public and private sectors, and even to everyone who concerns it.
These organizations may use security mechanisms to protect their assets safe against evil and attackers, but most of the security countermeasures that they use are based on known attacks, threats and vulnerabilities. They hardly pay attention to protect their assets against unknown and new types of attacks, threats and vulnerabilities. Most of the organizations faced to challenges the new types of unknown attacks and threats.
This research paper's main aim is to focus and study approaches and solutions against the unknown attacks and threats, and therefore, titled Designing Countermeasures for Tomorrows Threats to make the organizations enable to detect new types attacks, threats or vulnerabilities before they damage their assets or systems.
In addition, the outcome of this research paper will give the chance to the organizations to learn who is attacking their systems, how they are being attacked, and what the attackers are trying to achieve. The concepts that this research paper (thesis) used for Designing Countermeasures for Tomorrows Threats are Honeypot and Honeynet systems.
Honeypot and Honeynet Systems are one of the most interesting and well-known concepts for all the security professionals to know their enemies and identify their weakness. Worth mentioning that most of the countries i.e. Iran, Pakistan, India, Saudi Arabia, Germany and Polish are using these concepts to protect their internal networks and assets against the attackers. Besides, there are a great number of security organizations and communities that use these concepts for research to learn and educate public about new types of attacks, threats and vulnerabilities naming Honeynet Project, Norse, FireEye, WorldMap and Global Botnet Threat Activity.
This thesis implemented most of the existed-based technologies on the concept of Honeypot and Honeynet systems both open source and close source. Finally suggest and recommend the best solution for Afghanistan to protect its internal networks especially important organizations like Ministry of Interior and other ministries and sectors.
The term Massively Parallel BigData Processor names a recent advance in bigdata processing technology which has advanced from the traditional distributed processing represented by Hadoop to modern parallel processing represented by various multicore and manycore architectures. The problem in massively parallel systems is the irregularity which is when a single item -- can be referred to as a blackswan -- incurs much more processing cost than the majority of items. This paper discusses the respective countermeasures divided into (1) distribution and (2) runtime models and optimizations. The differences between multicore and manycore cases is also discussed, where the latter is represented by the currently default design with tiles and n-neighbor switching.
[CB16] Air-Gap security: State-of-the-art Attacks, Analysis, and Mitigation b...CODE BLUE
Air-gapped networks are isolated, separated both logically and physically from public networks. For example, military, industrial, and financial networks. Although the feasibility of invading such systems has been demonstrated in recent years, communication of data to/from air-gapped networks is a challenging task to attackers to perpetrate, an even more difficult threat to defend against.
New methods of communicating with air gapped networks are currently being exposed, some advanced and difficult to mitigate. These new found vulnerabilities have wide reaching implications on what we considered to be a foolproof solution to network security –the placement of a physical air gap.
But it doesn’t stop there – new techniques of covertly getting information in and out of air gapped networks are being exposed. Thus it is important not only to publicize these vectors of attack, but their countermeasures and feasibility as well.
In this talk, we will outline the steps an attacker must take in order to bridge an air gapped network. We will review the state-of-the-art techniques over thermal, radio, and acoustic channels, and discuss each one’s countermeasures and feasibility. Most of techniques in this talk were discovered in our labs by researcher Mordichai Guri under the supervision of Prof. Yuval Elovici.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
