Comment spammers are most often motivated by search engine optimization for the purposes of advertisement, click fraud, and malware distribution. By spamming multiple targets over a long period of time, spammers are able to gain profit, and do harm. Comment spam attacks can cripple a website, impacting uptime, and compromise the user experience. Quickly identifying the source of an attack can greatly limit the attack’s effectiveness and minimize its impact on your website. This presentation will:
- Present an attack from both points of views – the attacker's and the victim’s
- Identify tools utilized by comment spam attackers
- Discuss mitigation techniques to stop comment spam in its early stages

Imperva's ADC analyzed real-world traffic from sixty Web applications in order to identify attack patterns. The report demonstrates that, across a community of Web applications, early identification of attack sources and attack payloads can significantly improve the effectiveness of application security. Furthermore, it reduces the cost of decision making with respect to attack traffic across the community. Here's how, based on the traffic analyzed by the ADC: (1) multiple target SQL attackers generated nearly 6x their share of the population (2) multiple target comment spam attackers generated 4.3x their share of the population (3) multiple target RFI attackers generated 1.7x their share of the population (this amounted to 73% of total attacks).
Bleeding Servers – How Hackers are Exploiting Known VulnerabilitiesImperva
Today’s hackers ruthlessly target Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) to launch multi-site attacks that take control of Web servers and allow their perpetrators to flee with valuable data assets. HeartBleed stands as the most notorious example of a known vulnerability attack, but with a CVE database running in the thousands, attackers have ample opportunity to profit from unsecure Web applications. This presentation will:
- Discuss the latest data breach stats to identify where the most dangerous attacks are coming from
- Explore the attack perpetrators and reveal how they’re being successful
- Present the anatomy of a HeartBleed attack
- Provide mitigation techniques to protect against known vulnerabilities

Qrator and Wallarm 2016 State of Network Security report is dedicated to the main events and strong trends in the network security industry. Particular attention is payed to the DDoS, Internet infrastructure, hacks and vulnerabilities in software and hardware, like connected devices.
In this report, we demonstrate a new type of attack we call “Man in the Cloud” (MITC). These MITC attacks rely on common file synchronization services (such as GoogleDrive and Dropbox) as their infrastructure for command and control (C&C), data exfiltration, and remote access. Without using any exploits, we show how simple re-configuration of these services can turn them into a devastating attack tool that is not easily detected by common security measures.
Since most organizations either allow their users to use file synchronization services, or even rely on these services as part of their business toolbox, we think that MITC attacks will become prevalent in the wild. As a result, we encourage enterprises to shift the focus of their security effort from preventing infections and endpoint protection to securing their business data and applications at the source.

Making Sense of Web Attacks: From Alerts to NarrativesImperva
Co-Founder & CTO of Imperva, Amichai Shulman, discusses how recognizing the security narrative in your web-application is a big challenge. On the one hand security products are getting more sensitive and are detecting even minor anomalies in incoming web traffic, while on the other hand attacks are becoming more automated and traffic intensive. As a result, security operators find themselves sifting through hundreds of thousands of individual alert messages per day, striving to know what the “#@$%” is going on. These slides present our innovative system that groups individual alerts from a web application firewall into attack narratives. They also present real-world cases and show results.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
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.
