Philippe Langlois - LTE Pwnage - P1securityP1Security
Today, we’re entering the realm of LTE super high speed always-on connectivity and with that comes the victory of TCP/IP in front of the old ITU/3GPP protocols. And with this comes many side effects: software gets standardized, everything runs on top of ATCA (Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture) hardware running mostly Linux -give or take 6 or 8 proprietary FPGA-based sister cards, TFTP-booted with decade old VxWorks that routinely show hardcoded DES credentials and funny “behaviour”. Easily 20 GB of fat C++ binaries, some for x86, PPC, MIPS, some with up to 200 Mbytes file sizes for one single EXE! It’s called a vulnerability research and reverse engineering paradise… or hell.
All the protocols now run on top of IP, which ends up having 12 layers thanks to encapsulation and still the weight of legacy in bugs quantity and diversity. We’ll see how the porting of SS7 MAP on top of IP (SIGTRAN, Diameter) has given rise to funny Denial of Service (DoS) attacks against telecom core elements (DSR, STP), with trashy-crashy anti-forensics consequences for DPI and tracking (Hey @grugq!!).
We’ll look into specific vulnerabilities, and talk about the very particular way that Network Equipment Vendors deal with security in the telecom domain.
We will demo a virtualized Huawei HSS from our testbed and show some of the vulnerabilities and attacks directly on the equipment itself. We will finally talk about telco equipment and product security reviews and the fallacy of (some) certification and (many) standardization attempts. We will then see how to conduct a practical and fast telecom product security life cycle with automation and open source tools.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.
