Malvertising involves injecting malicious ads into legitimate online advertising networks and web pages. It has increased significantly in recent years, with over 209,000 incidents detected in 2013 alone generating billions of malicious ad impressions. Notable malvertising campaigns have affected major sites like Huffington Post, LA Weekly, and WeatherBug, exposing over 1.5 billion users. Malvertising uses various techniques to avoid detection, such as delayed payloads, limited targeting of users, and redirection through multiple domains.
The presentation has a quick preamble on SQL injection definition, sqlmap and its key features.
I will then illustrate into details common and uncommon problems and respective solutions with examples that a penetration tester faces when he wants to take advantage of any kind of web application SQL injection flaw on real world web applications, for instance SQL injection in ORDER BY and LIMIT clauses, single entry UNION query SQL injection, specific web application technologies IDS bypasses and more.

Creating Your Own Threat Intel Through Hunting & VisualizationRaffael Marty
The security industry is talking a lot about threat intelligence; external information that a company can leverage to understand where potential threats are knocking on the door and might have already perpetrated the network boundaries. Conversations with many CERTs have shown that we have to stop relying on knowledge about how attacks have been conducted in the past and start 'hunting' for signs of compromises and anomalies in our own environments.
In this presentation we explore how the decade old field of security visualization has emerged. We show how we have applied advanced analytics and visualization to create our own threat intelligence and investigated lateral movement in a Fortune 50 company.
Visualization. Data science. No machine learning. But pretty pictures.
Here is a blog post I wrote a bit ago about the general theme of internal threat intelligence:
http://www.darkreading.com/analytics/creating-your-own-threat-intel-through-hunting-and-visualization/a/d-id/1321225?
This document provides an overview of sqlmap, an open source penetration testing tool that automates the detection and exploitation of SQL injection vulnerabilities. It discusses the creators and history of the tool, its main features like database enumeration and takeover functionalities, and techniques for detecting different types of SQL injections like blind, error-based, union queries, and time delays. Examples of how each technique works are also provided.
Sony Corporation is a Japanese conglomerate whose business includes electronics, gaming, and entertainment. It is most known for its video game consoles, including the popular PlayStation series. In 2011, Sony experienced a massive data breach of its PlayStation Network, exposing personal details of 77 million user accounts. This resulted from unencrypted files and outdated security systems. The breach cost Sony over $170 million and damaged its reputation with customers who lost trust in the company to protect their data. Sony has since implemented improved security measures like encryption to prevent future breaches.
Attacking Oracle with the Metasploit FrameworkChris Gates
The document discusses attacking Oracle databases using Metasploit. It provides an overview of the current Metasploit support for Oracle and new support being added, including TNS and Oracle mixins to simplify interactions. It then outlines an Oracle attack methodology involving locating systems, determining version/SID, bruteforcing credentials, escalating privileges via SQL injection in default packages, manipulating data, and covering tracks. Examples are given of modules that implement each part of the methodology.
The document provides an overview of malware types and techniques. It discusses viruses, worms, trojans, rootkits, and other malware. It describes how malware infects systems, propagates, and hides. Historic malware examples like Morris worm, Code Red, and SQL Slammer are summarized. Methods for malware detection like signatures, heuristics, sandboxing, and network monitoring are also covered at a high level.
WikiLeaks claims to specialize in publishing censored government materials about war, spying, and corruption, but its authenticity and the agenda of its founder Julian Assange are contested. Some see Assange as pursuing a personal vendetta rather than transparency. WikiLeaks has published materials from Guantanamo Bay, the Afghan war, and emails from the DNC and John Podesta, which revealed insider information and tactics, but critics argue WikiLeaks and Assange are not truly dedicated to radical transparency and have their own aims. The authenticity and truthfulness of WikiLeaks' information is important because it shapes public opinion on important issues, so if WikiLeaks manipulates information it could easily influence consensus.

The document discusses cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities on a DVWA web application. It explains that XSS allows attackers to inject malicious scripts that are executed by users' browsers. There are three types of XSS: stored, reflected, and DOM-based. The demonstration shows how to perform a stored XSS attack by injecting an alert script that is executed when another user views the stored message. It then demonstrates fetching the user's cookies to steal session data.
cyber security and impact on national security (3)Tughral Yamin
The document discusses cyber security challenges for Pakistan's national security. It highlights shortcomings in Pakistan's cyber security framework and policies. It outlines the essential elements needed for a comprehensive security framework, including strong leadership, clear policies and strategies, adequate funding and resources, and robust laws and enforcement. It also discusses the types of cyber attacks, targets, implications for national security, and challenges in responding to attacks.
The document discusses SQL injection attacks, including what SQL injection is, types of SQL injection attacks such as first and second order attacks, mechanisms for injection through user input or cookies, and techniques for preventing SQL injection like defensive coding practices and input validation. SQL injection is a code injection technique where malicious SQL statements are inserted into an entry field for execution by the backend database, allowing attackers to view or manipulate restricted data in the database. The document provides examples of SQL injection and explores ways attackers can infer information and encode attacks despite prevention methods.
Cross Site Scripting (XSS) is a type of vulnerability that allows attackers to inject client-side scripts into web pages viewed by other users. There are three main types: persistent XSS saves the attack script on the server; reflected XSS executes a script based on user-supplied input; and DOM-based XSS occurs when active browser content processes untrusted user input. Attackers use XSS to steal session cookies or other private information that can be used to impersonate users.
Spear phishing is a targeted form of phishing that aims to steal information from specific individuals or organizations. Unlike regular phishing that uses wide spam attacks, spear phishing specifically targets key people who would have valuable access or information. The attacker performs reconnaissance to gather personal details about the target from social media and other sources. Then the attacker creates a personalized phishing email that appears to come from a trusted source, tricking the target into clicking a malicious link or attachment. Spear phishing has a high success rate since it bypasses traditional defenses by directly targeting individuals.
Malvertising involves cybercriminals inserting malicious code into online advertisements to infect visitors without clicking. The malware can slow devices, record keystrokes, and encrypt files. Ad networks unknowingly distribute the malicious ads to viewers. When a page loads the ad, the malware downloads and finds a backdoor to install onto the device. People can protect themselves by keeping browsers and plugins updated, using adblock software, limiting downloads, and adjusting browser settings.

This document discusses an advertising technology company's approach to preventing ad fraud. It describes how the company processes billions of ad impressions daily across multiple data centers. Key aspects of its fraud detection system include identifying bot activity, ensuring quality control of ad placements, and using machine learning models to analyze terabytes of daily log data to detect fraudulent patterns in real time.
What is online ad fraud and what does um do about itAlan King
Presentation on Brand Safety measures undertaken by UM London.
It's our view that agencies need to lead the charge against ad fraud. We use brand safety software as standard to protect clients' interests.
Mohd Arif introduces malvertising, which is using online advertising to spread malware. Malvertising spreads malware either by clicking on ads or through "drive-by downloads" where the malware is downloaded silently just by visiting an infected page. According to an IAB and Ernst & Young report, the digital advertising industry loses $8.2 billion annually to fraud including $1.1 billion to malvertising. To protect yourself, users should limit downloads to trusted sources, configure browser settings carefully, use an ad blocker, and keep systems updated.
Malvertising involves spreading malware through web advertisements and can infect devices with threats like ransomware, adware, or changes to router settings. There are two main techniques: pre-click attacks automatically download malware as soon as an ad loads, while post-click attacks occur after a user clicks a malicious ad or link and redirects them through multiple infected pages. To avoid malvertising, it is important to have reliable security software, only visit legitimate websites, avoid clicking suspicious ads, and keep all software and browsers updated.
This document provides background on Roger Grimes, an InfoWorld contributing editor and security columnist. It then summarizes Grimes' presentation on malware trends, including a brief history of early malware from the 1960s-1980s and trends through the 2000s. It notes that today, malware is primarily trojans and is often spread through deceptive means rather than exploits, as people are tricked into intentionally installing malicious programs. Key points include that many legitimate websites are compromised to spread malware, and that fake anti-virus programs remain a highly effective deception tactic for cybercriminals.
Field Guide for Validating Premium Ad InventoryDistil Networks
Many of the current technologies used to detect fraud are great at detecting the amount of fraud (e.g., post-bid analysis). However, we need more technologies and techniques that focus on how to stop fraud before it happens. Having continuous, real-time data is important for this; but equally important are the policies and disclosures of the publishers and ad networks themselves.
Key Takeaways:
- The State of Digital Ad Fraud -- Terminology, landscape and trends
- The advertiser and publisher perspective -- Top issues and concerns
