The document discusses threats to mobile devices and potential solutions. It outlines the mobile threat landscape including types of mobile malware, vulnerabilities, and statistics on infected platforms. It then examines players in the mobile ecosystem like MDM vendors, mobile anti-virus, application markets, and developers. Potential fixes are explored at the enterprise, consumer, vendor, and developer levels through capabilities mapping, malware detection, vulnerability analysis, and secure coding practices. The road ahead is seen through continued collaboration between these players and communities.
This document provides an overview and summary of mobile application risks. It begins with defining the mobile threat landscape, including statistics on the prevalence of Android malware. It then discusses the various types of mobile malware threats and behaviors. The document outlines vulnerabilities in mobile applications and ecosystems. It proposes approaches for securing the mobile environment, including static and dynamic behavioral analysis, malware detection, and vulnerability analysis. Finally, it discusses strategic control points for security and some enterprise solutions for mitigating risks of bring your own device policies.
This document summarizes key points about mobile application privacy based on an analysis of over 53,000 applications:
1) Many applications request unnecessary permissions like location tracking and SMS access without proper disclosure to users.
2) Code reuse through third party libraries introduces privacy risks as the libraries' data practices are often unknown.
3) Developers should securely store sensitive data, encrypt data in transit, analyze all reused code for flaws, and avoid hardcoded secrets to better protect user privacy.
This document discusses the rise of mobile, social, and cloud computing as a "new computing paradigm" that requires a new approach to security. It notes that traditional security methods like firewalls and relying on application permissions are no longer effective due to the decentralized and interconnected nature of modern applications and data. The document provides statistics on mobile application permissions and third-party libraries that indicate many apps are overprivileged and reuse code of unknown integrity. It argues that securing data as it flows between devices, networks, and services is now critical and that the only real defense is to secure all code through practices like secure development and verification.

Survey of Rootkit Technologies and Their Impact on Digital ForensicsTyler Shields
This document discusses the history and evolution of rootkit technologies and their impact on digital forensics. It begins with defining rootkits as code used by attackers to surreptitiously execute and control systems while remaining undetected. The document then covers: (1) the origins and evolution of rootkits from modifying system binaries in the 1980s to more advanced techniques today, (2) the five classes of rootkits - application, library, kernel, firmware, and virtualized, and (3) how rootkits aim to hide themselves and impede forensic investigation, posing challenges for incident response.
Source Boston 2009 - Anti-Debugging A Developers ViewpointTyler Shields
The document discusses anti-debugging techniques, defining terms like debugging, anti-debugging, and dumping. It covers why anti-debugging is useful, references past work, and categorizes anti-debugging methods into classes like API based detection, process/thread blocking, hardware/register based detection, exception based detection, modified code based detection, and timing based detection. The goal is to make reversing applications more difficult by implementing multiple layers of defense.
Static Detection of Application BackdoorsTyler Shields
The document discusses detecting application backdoors through static analysis of executable code. It defines application backdoors as versions of legitimate software modified to bypass security under certain conditions. The summary discusses three main types of application backdoors that can be detected through static analysis:
1) Special credentials - Detecting hardcoded or computed credentials not from the authentication store.
2) Unintended network activity - Finding network activity not intended in the software design.
3) Deliberate information leakage - Identifying code that leaks sensitive information.
Static analysis rules can inspect for these patterns and other malicious indicators like embedded shell commands, time bombs, and rootkit-like behavior. Well-known backdoor mechanisms can be ob
Blackhat Europe 2009 - Detecting Certified Pre Owned SoftwareTyler Shields
The document discusses detecting "certified pre-owned" software, or software containing backdoors. It describes how static analysis of software binaries can detect various types of application backdoors, including special credentials, unintended network activity, and deliberate information leakage. The document focuses on detecting indicators that software is trying to hide its behavior, such as rootkit behavior and anti-debugging techniques, through static analysis of the software code. Rules can be developed for static analyzers to inspect software for these types of backdoor behaviors and indicators.
The document discusses various techniques for anti-debugging, which aims to hinder reverse engineering or debugging of software. It describes six major categories of anti-debugging techniques: API-based, exception-based, direct process/thread detection, modified code detection, hardware/register-based detection, and timing-based detection. The document provides code examples for API-based techniques including IsDebuggerPresent(), CheckRemoteDebuggerPresent(), OutputDebugString(), and FindWindow() calls. The goal is to educate developers on implementing anti-debugging in their software.
Praetorian Veracode Webinar - Mobile PrivacyTyler Shields
The document discusses mobile application security risks and recommendations. It summarizes the OWASP Mobile Top 10 security risks, describes how static analysis can reveal vulnerabilities without executing code, and analyzes results from analyzing over 53,000 Android applications. Key findings include the high percentage of applications requesting permissions for location, contacts, and SMS/calling functions. Many applications shared third-party libraries for advertising and analytics. The document recommends users carefully review an app's permissions and author before installing and to use security monitoring applications.
Owasp Ireland - The State of Software SecurityTyler Shields
This document summarizes the key findings from an analysis of application security data by Veracode. Some of the main findings include:
1) Most software applications were found to be insecure, with over 50% receiving high or critical risk ratings.
2) Third-party software applications and components make up a significant percentage of enterprise infrastructure and applications, but were found to have the lowest security quality.
3) Open source projects had faster remediation times and fewer vulnerabilities than commercial or outsourced software.
The document discusses these and other findings around languages used, differences between industries, and the need for multiple testing techniques to adequately assess application security.
The document discusses risk and defines it as the possibility of loss or injury. It then discusses crowd sourcing security testing and outlines some of the current inadequate solutions such as expensive security consultants, tools that don't scale, and developers who prioritize functionality over security. The document then summarizes the results of analyzing over 53,000 Android applications, finding most request GPS and contact permissions and lists the top third party libraries used. It concludes by proposing a whitelisting approach to security testing using static analysis and an unbiased third party.
Dirty Little Secret - Mobile Applications Invading Your PrivacyTyler Shields
The document discusses privacy risks associated with mobile applications. It notes that applications can access personal data and device sensors through vulnerabilities or malicious code at the application, OS, hardware and network layers. It also discusses how the complexity of developing mobile applications across multiple teams and outsourcing parts of the development process makes it difficult to ensure application security. Finally, it provides an example case study of how static analysis was used to investigate privacy issues with the Pandora Radio mobile application.
IT Hot Topics - Mobile Security Threats at Every LayerTyler Shields
The document defines the term "risk" as the possibility of loss or injury. It then discusses various challenges with relying on internal teams, crowd sourcing, software vendors, developers, and processes alone to adequately manage security risks. The document proposes conducting static analysis of applications to create a whitelist of approved software that could then be enforced through mobile device policy as a potential solution to improve on current inadequate approaches.
This document discusses malicious mobile applications and security mechanisms. It summarizes various malicious apps that have been distributed, including FlexiSpy and Mobile Spy spyware, Etisalat malware in the UAE, and banking Trojans. It also outlines common security mechanisms like mobile antivirus and app marketplace reviews, and explains how these have limitations. Detection methods like signatures and heuristics are described as largely reactive.
Triangle InfoSecCon - Detecting Certified Pre-Owned Software and DevicesTyler Shields
The document discusses various types of backdoors that can be intentionally inserted into software and devices. It describes characteristics of different backdoor mechanisms like special credentials, hidden functionality, and unintended network activity. It provides examples of past incidents where backdoors were discovered in products from companies like Borland, Intel, Cisco, EMC, and WordPress. It also outlines techniques for detecting malicious code indicators and backdoors by inspecting source code and binaries for things like hardcoded credentials, cryptographic keys, and undocumented functionality.
Intelligence on the Intractable Problem of Software SecurityTyler Shields
More than half of all software failed to meet an acceptable security level and 8 out of 10 web applications failed to comply with OWASP Top 10. Cross-site scripting was the most prevalent vulnerability across all applications. Third-party applications were found to have the lowest security quality, though developers repaired vulnerabilities quickly. Suppliers of cloud/web applications were most frequently subjected to third-party risk assessments. No single testing method was adequate by itself, and financial industry application security did not match business criticality.

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.
