It discusses why ethical hacking is important to protect against external attacks and close security vulnerabilities.
- Malware analysis involves both static and dynamic analysis techniques to understand malware behavior and assess potential damage. Static analysis involves disassembling and reviewing malware code and structure without executing it. Dynamic analysis observes malware behavior when executed in an isolated virtual environment.
- Tools for static analysis include file hashing, string extraction, and PE header examination. Dynamic analysis tools monitor the registry, file system, processes, and network traffic created by malware runtime behavior. These include Process Monitor, Wireshark, Process Explorer, and network sniffers.
- To safely conduct malware analysis, one should create an isolated virtual lab separated from production networks, and install behavioral monitoring and code analysis tools like OllyDbg, Process Monitor, and Wiresh
This document discusses open source intelligence (OSINT) and how it can be used to gather information from publicly available sources to produce actionable intelligence. It provides examples of how OSINT can be used for corporate security purposes like finding breaches, leaked credentials, or rogue employees. It also lists several tools that can be used for OSINT like Robtex, PassiveRecon, Maltego, GeoStalker, and FBStalker. It notes that while OSINT is not always actively used by penetration testers, it can provide valuable information when applied to a real pentest. The document emphasizes that OSINT is more than just manual data gathering and that understanding what attackers know about an organization is important.
This document discusses advanced persistent threats (APTs). It defines APTs, describes their stages including reconnaissance, delivery, exploitation, operation, data collection, and exfiltration. It then presents an APT detection framework called the Attack Pyramid that models APT attacks across physical, user access, network, and application planes and detects relevant events using algorithms and rules. Research papers are cited that further define APTs and propose the Attack Pyramid model for detecting such threats.
Social engineering is manipulating people into revealing sensitive information or performing actions, rather than using technical hacking methods. It involves gaining people's trust and obtaining information that seems harmless but can be combined to compromise security. Famous social engineer Kevin Mitnick used only social engineering to access private networks. Common social engineering attacks include phishing scams, impersonating help desk staff, stealing documents, and installing malware under false pretenses. The weakest link is often human rather than technical, as people are more vulnerable to manipulation. Training employees, testing defenses with ethical hackers, and verifying unsolicited contacts can help prevent social engineering attacks.

It discusses advantages like providing security for organizations, and disadvantages such as costs and trust issues. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of security in software and businesses.
A zero day vulnerability is an unknown hole in software that is exploited by hackers before the vendor becomes aware of it. These exploits can go undetected for months, allowing malicious activities like monitoring or theft. There is high demand for zero day exploits due to their ability to go undetected for long periods, with the average exploit remaining undetected for over 300 days. Once a vulnerability is publicly known, patches can be released and it is no longer considered a zero day exploit.

Understanding and implementing website securityDrew Gorton
Knowing security best practices only gets a team so far. They have to implement them too. This session will cover the security risks that a web development team faces and the underlying reasons why risks can go unaddressed. Ultimately, there are no excuses for leaving your web projects exposed to known vulnerabilities. This session will cover common security concerns for Drupal and the root problems a team needs to solve in order to mitigate these risks.
We will cover:
Three layers of web security, from the perspective of Drupal: Platform-level (e.g. Linux), Application-level (e.g. Drupal), and Organizational-level (e.g. procedures)
Familiarity with your hosting platform’s security-related practices.
Overview of common vulnerabilities in web applications (XSS, CSRF, HTTP vs HTTPS, etc.)
Understanding how security concerns are handled for core and contrib.
Clarifying support responsibilities and procedures so that security fixes are applied quickly.
Attendees who build and/or manage Drupal sites will gain the most from the session. Attendees will leave with a complete picture of website security and concrete recommendations for how to improve the security of the sites they manage. It will cover recommendations for Drupal 7 and Drupal 8.
Many of the topics that will be covered are in my Understanding and Implementing Website Security blog post series at https://pantheon.io/blog/understanding-and-implementing-website-security-part-1-you-are-target

Egress-Assess and Owning Data ExfiltrationCTruncer
This talk discusses how Egress-Assess can be used to help attackers and defenders learn how to exfiltrate data outside of their network over a variety of protocols, describes how data is exfiltrated over different supported protocols, and demonstrates the weaponization of the tool!
Talk Venue: BSides Tampa 2020
Speakers: Mike Felch & Joff Thyer
This talk will focus on the many different ways that a penetration tester, or Red Teamer can leverage the Python programming language during offensive operations. Python is a rich and powerful programming language which above all else allows a competent developer to very quickly write new tools that might start as a Proof of Concept, but soon become an invaluable addition to the Red Teamer's tool-belt. Having the skills to both generate new tools, and modify existing tools on the fly is critically important to agility during testing engagement. Everything from utility processing of data, network protocol, API interaction, and exploit development can be rapidly developed due to the high functionality level and intuitive nature of Python.
This talk is about why I believe having the ability to write tools and/or scripts can help elevate a Pen Testers game to the next level.
The talk is case study driven by the different scenarios I've encountered on assessments and the scripts or tools that have been developed as a result.
The Supporting Role of Antivirus Evasion while PersistingCTruncer
This talk goes over different techniques to evade detection by antivirus programs, talks about how Veil-Evasion evades the programs, and shows an AV signature bypass. It also then documents a large number of techniques on how actors can persist in networks.
The document provides an overview of free and open source network security tools including Kismet for wireless monitoring, OpenVAS for vulnerability scanning, Metasploit for exploitation, and Nmap for port scanning and service detection. It discusses how these tools can be used both offensively to detect issues and defensively to harden networks, and highlights advantages like cost but also challenges like potential instability. The presentation focuses on demonstrating these tools and educating administrators about network security risks and defenses.
The document summarizes research into the Red Star OS operating system used in North Korea. Key findings include:
1) Red Star OS is based on Linux and resembles Windows XP or Mac OS X. It includes custom firewall software called Pyongyang Fortress which is derived from the open-source Snort network intrusion detection system.
2) Analysis of Pyongyang Fortress found it to be security theater with binaries that were much smaller than their open source counterparts and lacked full functionality.
3) Tests of censorship detection found that internet requests were not modified or blocked from within Red Star OS, suggesting censorship occurs at the intranet level before internet access.
Beyond Cryptojacking: studying contemporary malware in the cloudMattMuir5
The document discusses emerging malware targeting cloud environments and Linux systems. It analyzes two malware families: Legion, which automates SMTP abuse by targeting credentials stored in cloud services; and P2Pinfect, a Rust botnet that spreads via Redis and SSH exploits and conducts internet-wide scanning. The document concludes attackers are increasingly targeting web services and Linux through exploits and that botnets and ransomware on Linux will continue to be issues requiring monitoring.

Abstract:
Red team testing in organizations over the last year has shown a dramatic increase in detections mapped to MITRE ATT&CK™ across Windows, Linux and macOS. However, many organizations continue to miss several key techniques that, unsurprisingly, often blend in with day-to-day user operations. One example includes Trusted Developer Utilities which can be readily available on standard user endpoints, not just developer workstations, and such applications allow for code execution. Also, XSL Script processing can be used as an attack vector as there are a number of trusted utilities that can consume and execute scripts via XSL. And finally, in addition to these techniques, trusted .NET default binaries are known to allow unauthorized execution as well, these include tools like InstallUtil, Regsvcs and AddInProcess. Specific techniques, coupled with procedural difficulties within a team, such as alert fatigue and lack of understanding with environmental norms, make reliable detection of these events near impossible.
This talk summarizes prevalent and ongoing gaps across organizations uncovered by testing their defenses against a broad spectrum of attacks via Atomic Red Team. Many of these adversary behaviors are not atomic, but span multiple events in an event stream that may be arbitrarily and inconsistently separated in time by nuisance events.
Additionally, we introduce and demonstrate the open-sourced Event Query Language for creating high signal-to-noise analytics that close these prevalent behavioral gaps. EQL is event agnostic and can be used to craft analytics that readily link evidence across long sequences of log data. In a live demonstration, we showcase powerful but easy to craft analytics that catch adversarial behavior most commonly missed in organizations today.
This document summarizes the EyeWitness tool for automated network discovery and host identification. It discusses the typical assessment lifecycle, initial discovery and recon steps using Nmap and Nessus, and the need to automate analysis of large lists of web servers. The development of EyeWitness is described, from an initial proof of concept to version 2.0, which improved modularity, added protocol support, signature-based categorization and the ability to resume incomplete scans. Future work may include additional modules, protocols, and optical character recognition.
The document discusses Python jails (PyJails), which are CTF problems that provide a limited Python interpreter. The goal is typically to call restricted functions like os.system() or open() to access files. Common solutions leverage attributes of Python objects like __class__, __globals__, and __builtins__ to access the open() function despite restrictions. The document then provides an in-depth explanation of these Python object attributes and how they allow constructing a solution to bypass the restrictions in a PyJail.
This document provides information about the Computer Security Group (CSG) Spring 2022 kickoff event. It introduces CSG as a weekly security-focused student group. It also describes the Scholarship for Service program, lists the CSG leadership team, and advertises upcoming technical talks on topics like embedded systems, Python, anonymity, and fuzzing. Members are encouraged to attend weekly meetings, join the Discord server, and suggest additional talk topics.
This document provides an introduction to cloud computing, including what cloud is, its benefits and drawbacks, common cloud service models (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS), major cloud providers, and common cloud computing services. Key cloud computing services discussed include compute services (like AWS EC2 and Google Compute Engine), databases, storage, and additional AI/ML and serverless services. The document also highlights some free cloud credits and resources available for students.
1. The document discusses various methods for gaining domain administrator privileges on a Windows domain, including exploiting the domain's architecture, abusing Active Directory services like Kerberos, and cracking Kerberos tickets.
2. It provides three attack scenarios: leveraging internal access and the BloodHound tool, performing an NTLM relay attack against WebDAV to setup delegation, and directly cracking Kerberos tickets by requesting tickets for service principal names.
3. The document recommends demonstrating these attacks against a test environment to gain hands-on experience compromising a Windows domain from different starting points.
Python is an interpreted programming language that can be used for many purposes including security related tasks. It was created in the late 1980s by Guido van Rossum and named after the Monty Python comedy group. There are differences between Python versions 2.7 and 3.0, such as print becoming a function in 3.0. Python has an interactive shell environment that allows users to run commands and an extensive standard library including data types like lists, tuples, sets and dictionaries. Libraries like pwntools and PyCryptodome provide functionality for tasks like exploit development and cryptography.

This presentation gives an overview of many different encryption and encoding schemes. The content ranges from simple encodings, such as ASCII text represented as decimals to classical ciphers, such as Caesar and Vigenere ciphers to modern encryption standards, such as the Data Encryption Standard (DES) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). For modern encryption, there are many different implementation flaws that are discussed in the presentation as well as a few ideas for how to correct those flaws. At the end of the presentation, some thought questions are provided.
We continue where we left off from Part 1. This section covers 2 main topics, debugging libraries and fuzzer design. For debugging libraries we go over PyDBG and WinAppDbg, discussing basic to intermediate examples, and when you might want to use one instead of the other. After that, fuzzer design is discussed, including goals, design choices, architecture, etc. Some code samples are shown from my fuzzer, along with a github link for those who are interested.
This document provides an introduction to software exploitation on Linux 32-bit systems. It covers common exploitation techniques like buffer overflows, format strings, and ret2libc attacks. It discusses the Linux memory layout and stack structure. It explains buffer overflows on the stack and heap, and how to leverage them to alter control flow and execute arbitrary code. It also covers the format string vulnerability and how to leak information or write to arbitrary memory locations. Tools mentioned include GDB, exploit-exercises, and Python. Overall it serves as a crash course on the basic techniques and concepts for Linux exploitation.
This is part 1 of fuzzing, an introduction to the subject. This presentation covers some of theory and thought process behind the subject, as well as an introduction to environment variable fuzzing and file format fuzzing.
The document summarizes how to exploit a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the Protostar Heap 3 challenge. It describes using the Doug Lea malloc implementation, modifying chunk size metadata to change program execution, overwriting pointers to hijack control flow, and crafting 12-byte shellcode to jump to a "winner()" function and complete the exploit.
We introduce the fundamentals of dynamic memory allocation and highlight several exploitable properties. These ideas are put into practice in a set of heap overflow challenges from exploit-exercise.com's Protostar VM. We walk through the first three. Other uses of heap space such as heap spraying are mentioned.
Introduction to return oriented programming. Explanation of how to use instruction sequences already existing in an executable's memory space to manipulate control flow without injecting external payload.

The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
