Beyond the Pentest: How C2, Internal Pivoting, and Data Exfiltration Show Tru...Beau Bullock
Your vulnerability scanner reports that there are no issues on your network. A pentester has spent the last week trying to exploit every system your organization owns with no luck. The check box for this year's compliance audit has been checked. While it is good that these things occurred, they do not complete the picture in regards to true risk.
Real attackers do not solely rely on software exploits to compromise an environment. In almost every breach you hear about the root of the compromise came from a phishing attack. This is why additional tests, post-infection, should be performed to assess just how far an attacker can go after gaining a foothold into your environment.
What command and control channels are available for an attacker to utilize to communicate with your internal systems? How easy is it for an attacker to move laterally within your environment and gain access to other systems? What are your detection capabilities when it comes to sensitive data being exfiltrated out of your environment? How do you test these attacker techniques using open-source tools?
This lecture will address these questions and more, including a showcase of attacker methodologies.
Evaluating System-Level Cyber Security vs. ANSI/ISA-62443-3-3Jim Gilsinn
With the recent publication of ANSI/ISA-62443-3-3-2013, it is possible for end-users, system integrators, and vendors to qualify the capabilities of their systems from an ICS cyber security perspective. This process is not as simple as it may seem, though. In many cases, the capabilities of individual components of a system can be determined from specifications and manuals. The capabilities of the system also needs to be evaluated as a whole to determine how those individual components work together. Component-level and System-level certifications are common practice in the safety environment, and will eventually become common in the ICS cyber security environment as well. Certification bodies, like the ISA Security Compliance Institute (ISCI), have begun the process to develop certification efforts around ISA-62443-3-3. Until many more groups of components and systems have been officially certified, third-party assessments and evaluations will be common. This presentation will discuss an example of how Kenexis Consulting has evaluated a particular vendor’s components and systems to determine compliance with ISA-62443-3-3. The presentation will go through the evaluation methodology used and describe how Kenexis used the evaluation to develop a series of real-world use-cases of the components and system in the ICS environment.

Integrating the Alphabet Soup of StandardsJim Gilsinn
Presented @ 2014 ICS Cyber Security Conference
October 21, 2014
It’s been over a year since the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and ISA-62443-3-3 were published, ISA-62443-2-1 has been out for almost 5 years, and ISO/IEC 27001 & 27002 have been out for nearly a decade. NIST has already started their process for revisions, ISA is actively working to overhaul 62443-2-1, and ISO/IEC just published a major revision to their standard. In addition to these cross-domain standards, there are a multitude of local and sector-specific standards as well. As a consultant, we are often asked to use one of these as a baseline to help our customers generate an ICS cyber security program. This presentation will discuss some of the strengths and weaknesses of these different standards and the effort to integrate them into a realistic set of ICS cyber security program requirements.
This presentation explains the ANSI/ISA-99 and IEC 62443 standards for industrial control systems (ICS). It describes the Zone and Conduit security model and how it is used in an plant or factory. As well, the issues of security configuration errors are discussed. A case history of zone security deployment for a Safety Integrated System in a refinery is provided. For additional information see www.tofinosecurity.com.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).
