2018 - Using Honeypots for Network Security Monitoringchrissanders88
A strong detection and response capability is required for the success of security program because prevention eventually fails and a motivated attacker can always find a way in. However, economics are not in favor of network security monitoring (NSM). Due to the hardware, software, and labor required it's expensive to deploy an NSM capability and hire qualified analysts to maintain and investigate the high volume of alerts, especially at scale.
In this presentation I'll discuss how honeypots are re-emerging as a practical solution for driving down the cost of network security monitoring. These aren't your traditional honeypots meant to sit outside the firewall to research automated malware. These are focused, use case specific honeypots that are designed to provide detection with a favorable signal to noise ratio. By integrating honeypots into your NSM strategy and taking a targeted approach, a grid of honeypots can realistically become your most cost effective detection tool. I'll make the case for honeypots like these and discuss implementation strategies that I've seen work. You should come away from this presentation with a unique perspective on honeypots and an actionable plan you can use to start evaluating and deploying tactical honeypots in your network.
This document discusses honeypots as a solution for internet-based data security. It defines honeypots as fake computer systems designed to collect data on intruders by appearing as legitimate systems. The document outlines different types of honeypots including production honeypots for organizations, research honeypots to study hacker tactics, and database honeypots to capture SQL injections. It also discusses low and high interaction honeypots, with low interaction simulating services and high interaction using whole systems. Finally, it introduces honey nets as networks of monitored high interaction honeypots simulating a production environment.
Honeypots are information systems that are intended to be attacked to gather threat intelligence. They can be low-interaction systems that emulate services or high-interaction systems with real operating systems. Honeypots provide benefits like attack analysis, evidence collection, and risk mitigation by luring attackers away from real systems. While they offer insights, honeypots also have disadvantages like only monitoring a limited view and carrying legal and security risks if misused.
The Lazy Attacker: Defending Against Broad-based Cyber AttacksAlienVault
Advanced Persistent Attacks (APTs) get most of the attention from the cyber security community because, as defenders, we want to be vigilant against the most insidious techniques. However, this unilateral mindset ignores a much less interesting reality.
Honeypots are information systems designed to detect cyber threats. They emulate vulnerabilities to lure attackers and observe their behavior without authorization. There are two main types: low-interaction honeypots, which emulate services and capture limited data, and high-interaction honeypots, which use real systems and services to gather extensive information but pose higher risks. Honeypots help identify weaknesses, catch attackers, and design more secure networks by compiling logs of unauthorized activity without affecting authorized usage.
HoneyPot for Network Security - building and testing against exploits.Shantanu Kumar Das
This dissertation examines different approaches to building and monitoring honeypots. It explores using both physical machines and virtual machines to create honeypots. When using virtual machines, it evaluates User Mode Linux (UML) and VMware and finds that configuring honeypots with VMware is preferable. The dissertation then designs VMware honeypots, protects them from fingerprinting, and benchmarks their performance. It analyzes and simulates various attacks against the honeypots, including buffer overflows, port scans, backdoors, and more. The logs and reports from intrusion detection systems are examined to understand the attacks and vulnerabilities exposed.
To modify the fake filesystem in Kippo honeypot:
1. Browse to /honeydrive/kippo/data/fs
2. Create a new directory or file (e.g. myfiles)
3. Modify the script create_filesystem.py to include the newly created directory/file in the fake filesystem
4. Re-run the script to rebuild the fake filesystem pickle file with the modifications
5. Restart Kippo using ./start.sh
6. Now when an attacker SSH's in, they should see the new myfiles directory/file
The fake filesystem is built dynamically using Python scripts and stored in a pickle file. Modifying the creation script allows customizing what
AlienVault Brute Force Attacks- Keeping the Bots at Bay with AlienVault USM +...AlienVault
Due to the recent, well-publicized events involving celebrities and their private photos, the phrase “brute-force attack” has become the web’s newest buzzword. As an IT professional, it’s vital that you detect brute force attacks as quickly as possible so you can shut them down before the damage is done. Join us for a live demo, where we’ll demonstrate a brute force attack (simulated, of course!) and show how AlienVault USM can help you detect an (attempted) intruder and investigate the attack.
You'll learn:
How attackers can use brute force attacks to gain access to your network
Measures you can take to better secure your environment and prevent these attacks
How AlienVault USM alerts you immediately of brute force attack attempts, giving you valuable time to shut it down
How to use AlienVault USM to investigate an attack and identify compromised assets
Staying Ahead of Internet Background Exploitation - Microsoft BlueHat Israel ...Andrew Morris
It’s not just you. The frequency of severe vulnerabilities in internet-facing enterprise software being massively exploited at scale has increased drastically. The amount of time between disclosure and exploitation of these vulnerabilities has been reduced to near-zero, leaving defenders with less time to react and respond. While combating internet-wide opportunistic exploitation is a sprawling and complex problem, there is both an art and a science to staying ahead of large exploitation events such as Log4J.
In this talk we will share insights and challenges from operating a huge, shifting, adaptive, distributed sensor network listening to internet background noise and opportunistic exploitation traffic over the past four years. We will give a blunt state of the universe on mass exploitation. We will share patterns and unexplainable phenomena we’ve experienced across billions of internet scans. And we will make recommendations to defenders for preparing for the next time the cyber hits the fan.
This document discusses honeypots and the honeyd software. Honeypots are decoy servers that are used to detect intruders by appearing as normal servers but containing fake data. Honeyd is a honeypot daemon that can simulate a large network using a single host by creating virtual hosts with different personalities. It is used for distraction, detecting suspicious traffic, and learning about attack techniques. The document describes how to configure honeyd by setting virtual host properties and firewall rules to forward traffic to it.
A honeypot is a computer security mechanism designed to detect unauthorized access. It acts as a trap for attackers by diverting their attention from real network resources. The main functions of a honeypot are to build attacker profiles, identify preferred attack methods, and capture new viruses. Honeypots are classified by their level of interaction (low interaction provides emulated services while high interaction uses actual operating systems), implementation (physical vs virtual), and purpose (research to discover new attacks vs production to detect threats).
This document provides definitions and explanations of honeypots and honeynets. It begins by defining a honeypot as a resource that pretends to be a real target in order to gather information about attacks without putting real systems at risk. There are different types of honeypots including research/production honeypots and low/high interaction honeypots. Honeynets are networks of multiple honeypot systems that allow for containment of attackers and capture of all activity. Virtual honeynets deploy entire honeynet architectures virtually on single systems. The document outlines advantages like flexibility and minimal resources, and disadvantages like narrow field of view and risk of fingerprinting.
BSA2016 - Honeypots for Network Security Monitoringchrissanders88
At the BSides Augusta 2016 conference, I presented the economic challenges of defensive security and how honeypots can be used for cost effective network security monitoring.
The document discusses brute force attacks and dictionary attacks on systems. It describes how brute force attacks try all possible keys while dictionary attacks try commonly used keys. The document then provides steps for an automated system to conduct these attacks by looking for "wrong signs" when keys are tried. It concludes by stating that firewalls, captchas, limited login attempts, and other methods can help secure systems but true security requires multiple approaches.
Assessing the security posture of a web application is a common project for a penetration tester and a good skill for developers to know. In this talk, We’ll go over the different stages of a web application pen test, from start to finish. We’ll start with tools used during the discovery phase to utilize OSINT sources such as search engines, sub-domain brute-forcing and other methods to help you get a good idea of targets “footprint”, automated scanners and their use, all the way to manual testing and tools used for fuzzing parameters to find potential SQL injection vulnerabilities. We’ll also discuss pro-tips and tricks that we use while conducting a full application penetration assessment. After this talk, you should have a good understanding of what is needed as well as where to start on your journey to hacking web apps.

Abstract: How many times have you come across the term “honeypot” in your lectures and textbooks, or security talks? How much do you know about them? Is “honeypot” a security tool or concept? In this presentation, I’ll walk you through the basics of honeypots, discuss its applications, and demonstrate some honeypots used by researchers.
Honeypot is an exciting new technology with enormous potential for the security community.It is resource which is intended to be attacked and compromised to gain more information about the attacker and his attack techniques.
Honeypots are systems designed to attract hackers in order to gather information about attacks and attackers. The document discusses different types of honeypots based on their level of interaction, from low-involvement honeypots that only provide basic services to high-involvement honeypots with a full operating system. It also covers honeypot placement options, information gathering techniques, and making honeypots appear attractive to attract more attackers. The goal is to learn about attack patterns and tools used by hackers to improve network defenses.
Invincea fake british airways ticket spear-phish malware 03-21-2014Invincea, Inc.
Invincea detects and blocks a Zeus malware spear-phish disguised as a British Airways fake ticket receipt. Information security and endpoint protection benefits from Invincea.
As threats are increasingly more sophisticated and targeted, traditional anti-virus detection is struggling to keep up. The traditional approach focuses on using fingerprint signatures of known malware to identify malware in the enterprise. This method of fingerprinting for detection is not only easily evaded, but it provides limited value to detecting targeted attacks against companies and emerging threats.
To combat this problem, Invincea developed a novel method for detecting and analyzing previously unknown malware and 0-day exploits. The advanced detection approach runs in conjunction with Invincea’s secure virtual container, which is used to isolate the operating system and user data from exploits against vulnerable applications. By running high-risk apps like web browsers in a secure container, no prior knowledge, including signatures and IOCs of threats is required in order to prevent their damage to the system and loss of data.

The objectives of the lab are to install and configure Snort to monitor network traffic, log alerts to a syslog server, and detect attacks. Students will learn how to set up Snort, validate the configuration, test it by carrying out attacks, and analyze intrusion detection logs.
This presentation discusses the limitations of intrusion detection systems (IDS) in securing networks against hackers. It argues that IDS will not stop skilled hackers for several reasons. Signature-based IDS cannot detect unknown attacks since new vulnerabilities are found daily. Anomaly-based IDS require extensive manual labor to create accurate network profiles and cannot adapt to changing networks. Additionally, IDS only make guesses about network traffic and have no way to definitively determine if traffic is malicious. Using an IDS also introduces new risks, as the IDS itself has vulnerabilities that could allow an attacker to compromise the entire network if the IDS is breached. Instead of relying on IDS, the presentation recommends directly addressing existing security problems on networks
A computer virus is a type of malicious software or malware that attaches itself to other programs and files to replicate itself. Viruses can damage software, steal personal information, slow down systems, and more. Antivirus software uses techniques like on-access scanning, virus definitions, heuristics, and detection testing to identify and remove viruses and other malware from computers. Regularly updating antivirus software and virus definitions is important for protection.

HackInBo2k16 - Threat Intelligence and Malware AnalysisAntonio Parata
Threat intelligence and malware analysis are two sides of the same coin. Threat intelligence involves gathering information from various sources like open source intelligence (OSINT), internal network monitoring, and commercial threat feeds. This information can be used to understand emerging threats and inform an organization's response. Malware analysis involves reverse engineering malware samples to understand how they work and extract indicators like command and control servers and drop zones. Understanding common malware components like packers, loaders, and payloads can help focus analysis. Banking malware often uses dynamic configurations and web injections to target users and steal credentials. Both threat intelligence and malware analysis are important for increasing security awareness and protecting networks from emerging threats.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Spear phishing
Phishing attempts directed at specific individuals
or companies with a malicious payload
First, some definitions…
10. “95% of all attacks on enterprise networks
are the result of successful spear-phishing.”
(Allen Paller, director of research, SANS Institute)
11. WHY a 95% success rate??
BECAUSE USERS LOVE…TO…CLICK...!
Sending at least 18
emails in a spear-
phishing campaign
guarantees at
least one click!
(Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report – 2013)

14. Dell Protected Workspace uses Invincea
FreeSpace security software to protect an end-
user by securely isolating malware from
the host operating system.
15. Malware is safely contained in a secure
virtual container that uses behavioral sensors
to automatically detect and block any known
and unknown (zero-day) malware.
16. Malware activity on anonymized user systems is
securely transmitted to Invincea’s Threat
Research Group for detailed analysis.

22. Let’s look at a Time Line view to see what the
malware is doing from start to finish….
23. By letting the malware run in our secure
container, we can see that it opened up
connections to an external host for a
command-and-control session.
24. We determined that this is a ZeusTrojan
variant through partner analysis, ThreatStream:

that it’s a

25. Summary of Analysis:
- This was not a zero-day attack, but is still effective
o If it was zero-day, Invincea can still contain and detect zero-
day attacks because we analyze behavior, not signatures
