Linux Security Scanning with Lynis
Are you really sure the security of your Linux systems is done properly? Since 2002, Michael Boelen performs research in this field. The answer is short: there is too much to possible and to do. For this reason, he created several open source security tools, to help others saving time. We will look into how Lynis can help with technical security scans.
In this talk, we had a look on how Lynis helps with system hardening. We discussed the background of the tool, lessons learned after 13 years of open source software development, and what the future plans are.
Handling of compromised Linux systems
This presentation of 40 minutes gives a quick introduction in the world of Linux malware and incident handling. We cover malware, like rootkits and how they hide on the system. Finally we look at how to handle with a compromised system, and go into the possible defenses to limit the risks.
Linux Hardening
So you think the systems at your employer can actually use a little bit more security? Or what about your own system to gain more privacy? In this talk, we discuss the reasons for Linux server and system hardening. First we learn why we should protect our crown jewels, and what can wrong if we ignore information security. Next is getting a better understanding of the possible resources we can use. And since system hardening can be time-consuming, we discuss some tools to help in the system hardening quest.
Lynis - Hardening and auditing for Linux, Mac and Unix - NLUUG May 2014
Presentation about Lynis, a tool to audit and harden Linux, Mac and Unix systems. In this presentation we compare a few methods to secure your systems. We take a look at Lynis and how it can provide a solution to a common problem of lacking compliance and security controls.
Security, Hack1ng and Hardening on Linux - an Overview
A fairly detailed overview on current state of security and hardening countermeasures being employed on a modern OS like Linux. With a focus on teaching the basics of BOF (Buffer OverFlow), so that one understands how these attacks work.
Rootkit Hunting & Compromise Detection
The document discusses different approaches to detecting system compromise, including looking for rootkit side effects, signature-based scanning, and explicit compromise detection. It argues that modern malware need not use traditional rootkit techniques like hiding processes or sockets to achieve stealth. A demonstration of a "pretty stealthy backdoor" is presented that modifies only a few kernel data values without installing modules or hiding anything. The document proposes a classification of malware based on what operating system components it modifies and argues that type II malware modifying only data sections will be very difficult to detect.
Dealing with Linux Malware
We often hear that viruses do not affect Linux systems. If it was only true... To understand why there is malware in the first place, we look at the reasons for evildoers to create harmful software. When that is clear, we move on by defining several types of malware, to finally focus on a very particular one, the rootkit. A quick course into the cleverness of rootkits follows, with the related challenges it offers for detection. We close the session by giving tips on detection and prevention.

Penetration testing, What’s this?
Penetration testing involves assessing an organization's security processes and vulnerabilities by simulating real-world attacks. This is done through methodologies like OSSTMM and standards like CIS guides and ISO 2700x. The goals are to estimate security, gain unauthorized access to systems, and access certain information/data. Approaches include perimeter, wireless, and internal testing from user workstations or network segments. Real attacks aim to hack, while penetration testing is legal and aims to help organizations. Common tools used include Nmap, Metasploit, Cain & Abel, Aircrack, and browser/notepad. Examples demonstrated password cracking, SQL injection exploitation, and privilege escalation in Active Directory. Wireless, social engineering,

Windows XP comes in several editions, including Home Edition for home users and Professional Edition for corporate networks. It includes security and networking enhancements over previous versions. There are three main installation strategies: clean install, upgrade, and side-by-side. A clean install wipes the hard drive and installs XP fresh, while an upgrade preserves existing software and settings but can cause instability. Side-by-side installs XP on a separate partition to allow booting between multiple OS versions. The four steps of a clean install are file copy, text mode setup, GUI mode setup, and the Windows welcome process.

CYBERSECURITY PROCESSES & TECHNOLOGIES LAB #2: MANAGING HOST BASED SECURITY
This document provides instructions for a lab assignment to develop system administration procedures for implementing host-based security on Windows 8.1 systems. The procedures will cover: (1) configuring and managing Windows Defender antivirus software, (2) configuring Windows Firewall settings to allow and block applications, and (3) using the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) tool to scan for and remediate vulnerabilities. Students are instructed to research, write, and test step-by-step procedures for each security tool and submit them along with screenshots in a single Word document.
The Art Of Debugging
The document discusses various techniques for debugging software bugs, including gathering relevant information, forming and testing hypotheses about the cause, and strategies like tracing execution, simplifying tests, questioning assumptions, and cleaning up unused code. It also provides a checklist for determining the root cause of bugs and ensuring debugging efforts are focused on the right location. The goal of debugging is to understand why bugs occur so they can be removed and prevent future bugs through improved testing, risk management, and learning from past issues.
Debugging
This document provides an overview of various concepts in software engineering, including implementation, testing, debugging, development rules, and sayings around software development. It discusses principles like debugging and maintenance taking more time than implementation, data structures being more important than codes/algorithms, avoiding premature optimization, and releasing software often for early feedback. It also covers topics such as unit testing, avoiding obese code, intellectual property, management approaches, software development methodologies, and different types of testing.
BlueHat v18 || Return of the kernel rootkit malware (on windows 10)
Matt Oh, Microsoft
We are seeing new technique used everyday by malware. But, it is very hard to find any impressive techniques used in the wild. Recently there was huge buzz about Detrahere malware which used internally known issues with certificate signing in Windows 10 kernel driver. Even though the certificate check bypass technique itself is very interesting, also I found that the tactics used by the malware is more impressive. Even though the malware is mainly focused on Ad-hijacking functionality through Netfilter driver installation, but it also has rootkit ability through file system driver hooking. This feels like old days coming back with various new arsenals. The rootkit detects kernel debugging settings and will destroy the system when it finds one. The unpacking process can be very challenging job, too as it uses kernel driver image hollowing technique (something similar to process hollowing) to deobfuscate itself and run unpacked code. Our patchguard doesn't seem like triggering on this action, because all the sections are pre-allocated with execute permission already.
Through this talk, I want to present various techniques used by this malware focusing on the kernel level obfuscation and anti-analysis tactics. This will give us new insights on how new Windows rootkit malware might look like in the future and how detecting them from security systems and detonation systems can be a challenge.

This document provides an overview of various concepts in software engineering, including implementation, testing, debugging, development rules, and sayings around software development. It discusses principles like debugging and maintenance taking more time than implementation, data structures being more important than codes/algorithms, avoiding premature optimization, and releasing software often for early feedback. It also covers topics such as unit testing, avoiding obese code, intellectual property, management approaches, software development methodologies, and different types of testing.
BlueHat v18 || Return of the kernel rootkit malware (on windows 10)
Matt Oh, Microsoft
We are seeing new technique used everyday by malware. But, it is very hard to find any impressive techniques used in the wild. Recently there was huge buzz about Detrahere malware which used internally known issues with certificate signing in Windows 10 kernel driver. Even though the certificate check bypass technique itself is very interesting, also I found that the tactics used by the malware is more impressive. Even though the malware is mainly focused on Ad-hijacking functionality through Netfilter driver installation, but it also has rootkit ability through file system driver hooking. This feels like old days coming back with various new arsenals. The rootkit detects kernel debugging settings and will destroy the system when it finds one. The unpacking process can be very challenging job, too as it uses kernel driver image hollowing technique (something similar to process hollowing) to deobfuscate itself and run unpacked code. Our patchguard doesn't seem like triggering on this action, because all the sections are pre-allocated with execute permission already.
Through this talk, I want to present various techniques used by this malware focusing on the kernel level obfuscation and anti-analysis tactics. This will give us new insights on how new Windows rootkit malware might look like in the future and how detecting them from security systems and detonation systems can be a challenge.

NicoleMaguire_NEES_FinalReport
This document summarizes Nicole Maguire's intern work automating tests for NASA's Space Launch System software. She automated JUnit tests for the Display Services and Framework subsystem using UISpec4J automation software. While it worked for most tests, some required a different solution. Nicole also helped a team automate testing using SikuliX image recognition. She wrote IMPERIO, a program that generates images of text to recognize since the actual text fonts differed on testing machines. IMPERIO solved the team's biggest challenge and allowed testing to continue successfully.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
