BEST PRACTICES OF WEB APPLICATION SECURITY By SAMVEL GEVORGYANSamvel Gevorgyan
"Web Application Security is a vast topic
and time is not enough to cover all kind
of malicious attacks and techniques for
avoiding them, so now we will focus on
top 10 high level vulnerabilities.
Web developers work in different ways
using their custom libraries and
intruder prevention systems and now
we will see what they should do and
should not do based on best practices."

A wild ride through the dizzying highs and terrifying lows of web security in 2015. Take a look at some major breaches of the year, including some free beer!
We’ll look at how attack trends have changed over the past year and new ways websites are being compromised. We’ve pulled together data from all the sites we protect to show you insights on types and patterns of attacks, and sophistication and origin of the attackers.
After the bad, we’ll look at the good - new technologies like RASP are helping secure the web.

Your users are almost certainly vulnerable in one way or another. Mike North explores a series of common web app security pitfalls, first demonstrating how to exploit the vulnerability and then recommending a pragmatic and effective defense against the attack. Buckle up, because Mike's about to take some things you love and depend on and smash them to bits.
Rails comes with many powerful security protections out of the box, but no code is perfect. This talk will highlight a new approach to web app security, one focusing on a higher level of abstraction than current techniques. We will take a look at current security processes and tools and some common vulnerabilities still found in many Rails apps. Then we will investigate novel ways to protect against these vulnerabilities.
GoSec 2015 - Protecting the web from withinIMMUNIO
The web has become a part of our lives. We bank online, we shop online, we talk online, we even pay our taxes online. It's made our lives very convenient, but all that data makes a tempting target for hackers. Learn about some recent attacks on popular web frameworks and dig in to why they were effective. Learn how these advanced attacks can be detected, and how they can be stopped by applications which learn to protect themselves.
The Open Web Application Security Project, is an online community that produces freely-available articles, methodologies, documentation, tools, and technologies in the field of web application security.
One of those projects, The OWASP Top Ten, provides a powerful awareness document for web application security. The OWASP Top Ten represents a broad consensus about what the most critical web application security flaws are.
The OWASP team recently released the 2017 revised and updated version of the ten most critical web application security risks and so we’ve created these flash cards for you, your friends, and your colleagues (especially product and engineering :) to test your knowledge and learn more about these important issues.
Company-wide security awareness is a powerful way to improve the overall security of your organization. So adorn your waiting rooms, cubicles, and snack rooms with these flash cards for easy learning and remembrance.

Common rules:
+ Choose your CMS with both functionality and security in mind
+ Update with urgency
+ Use a strong password (admin dashboard access, database users, etc.)
+ Have a firewall in place (detect or prevent suspicious requests)
+ Keep track of the changes to your site and their source code
+ Give the user permissions (and their levels of access) a lot of thought
+ Limit the type of files to non-executables and monitor them closely
+ Backup your CMS (daily backups of your files and databases)
+ Uninstall plugins you do not use or trust.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

2. Top 10 Web Application
vulnerabilities in 2007
1 • Cross-site Scripting (XSS)
2 • Injection Flaws
3 • Malicious File Execution
4 • Insecure Direct Object Reference
5 • Cross Site Request Forgery
6 • Information Leakage and Improper Error Handling
7 • Broken Authentication and Session Management
8 • Insecure Cryptographic Storage
9 • Insecure Communications
10 • Failure to Restrict URL Access
Source: http://www.owasp.org/index.php/top_10_2007
3. Agenda
The foundation of attack
Advance attack techniques
Obfuscation
Automated Testing
4. Foundation of attack
Application attack also known as “layer 7
attack”
Program is just a set of instruction.
Developer is the key protector
All input is evil (Writing Secure Code by Michael
Howard and David LeBlanc)
6. SQL Injection
Build SQL statement using string concatenation
Attacker change the semantics of SQL query
Developer prefer string concatenation because
is easy but they also known the safer method
but requires more thought
15. Path Traversal
Access files that application not intend to
access
To read any files in the system
Using “dot-dot-slash” to backtrack the folder
Example:
http://app.com/GetImage.aspx?file=....windowsrepairsam
16. Scenario #3
To prevent “Resource cannot be found”, developer
create a page to check whether the picture file it
exist or not. If doesn’t exist it will show the generic
image.
18. Advance Technique
Utilizing the basic attack techniques
Able to unveil a lot of privacy information of
servers
Example:
WMI Attack
Host File Hijacking
19. WMI Attack
WMI = Windows Management Instrumentation
WMI is a essential tools for IT Administrator to
manage the servers and workstations
Damages:
Retrieve server’s information
Remotely uninstall application
22. Host File Hijacking
Windows rely on DNS and Host file to resolve
the target IP address
Host file location :
%windir%system32driversetchosts
Damages:
Corrupt the host file so it can redirect the data to
malicious server
23. Scenario #5
Attacker redirect the traffic for www.abc.com to
different IP address. Imagine a antivirus
application refer the wrong IP address to
download the latest signature file.
25. Obfuscation
The default .Net assembly format allow
developer to disassemble and decompile.
Obfuscate is a process to rebuilds the .Net
assembly into a new format that is impossible
to dissemble, decompile and difficult to
understand.
Prevent competitors and hackers from getting
your source code.
26. Scenario #6
Attacker download the .Net assembly through
Path Traversal attack. He successfully dissemble
and decompile the assembly. Attacker now able to
view all the logic behind the source code.
28. Automated Testing
Develop your own testing tools
Automate your testing process
Visual Studio Tester Edition have a capability to
do automated testing
29. The Dark Side……
Brutal Force attack are using the same
technique
It is a common attack to “try” out password
To prevent such attack, identify the source.
MAC Address
IP Address
Login username
30. Scenario #7
Develop a simple application to automate the
brutal force attack on wireless router.
32. Steps to Defense Against Attackers
Validate both client-side and server-side input
Duplicated the validation functions in both
client-side and server side
NO SQL Injection – use Parameter class in .Net
NO XSS – Validate Input, Validate Output (VIVO)
Obfuscate your code TODAY!
Be innovative and creative in testing
