Industroyer: biggest threat to industrial control systems since Stuxnet by An...CODE BLUE
Industroyer is the first ever malware specifically designed to attack power grids. This unique and extremely dangerous malware framework was involved in the December 2016 blackout in Ukraine. What sets Industroyer apart from other malware targeting infrastructure, such as BlackEnergy (a.k.a. SandWorm), is its ability to control switches and circuit breakers directly via 4 different industrial communication protocols.
In addition to explaining why Industroyer can be considered the biggest threat to industrial control systems since the infamous Stuxnet worm, we will take a look at the 2016 power outage in the context of the other numerous cyberattacks against Ukrainian critical infrastructure in the recent years.
As the protocols and hardware targeted by Industroyer are employed in power supply infrastructure, transportation control systems, and other critical infrastructure systems, like water and gas, worldwide, the malware can be re-purposed to target vital services in other countries. This discovery should serve as a wake-up call for those responsible for security of these critical systems.

InSecure Remote Operations - NullCon 2023 by Yossi SassiYossi Sassi
Every admin tool is an attack tool, yet there are no good or bad shells - that part is up to you. Coming from dozens of engagements consulting various role-based remote operations architectures & Red Team assessments for organizations in 4 continents, with a fresh research hijacking full tokens from network logon-type sessions - we’ll dive into a technical, hands-on set of examples for both Offensive and Defensive teams, of what SUCKS and what ROCKS on the Windows ‘Living off the land’ remote admin operations, Protocols, and APIs. We'll talk about the Pros and Cons of jump server architectures, as well as role-based shells, limiting PowerShell in creative ways. We'll also introduce fresh research to achieve Full Token hijack from network logon-type sessions, without any hash and/or TGT!
In this PowerPoint, learn how a security policy can be your first line of defense. Servers running AIX and other operating systems are frequent targets of cyberattacks, according to the Data Breach Investigations Report. From DoS attacks to malware, attackers have a variety of strategies at their disposal. Having a security policy in place makes it easier to ensure you have appropriate controls in place to protect mission-critical data.
Presented at the Auckland AWS Meet-up:
In this meet-up, Chris will take us through an interactive session that will examine log solutions in the cloud.
We'll take a look at some possible build-your-own architectures on AWS, common tools and practices, and commercial options. We'll then demo logging data from an EC2 Instance using Amazon Kinesis, Amazon Elasticsearch Service and S3.
While probably the most prominent, Docker is not the only tool for building and managing containers. Originally meant to be a "chroot on steroids" to help debug systemd, systemd-nspawn provides a fairly uncomplicated approach to work with containers. Being part of systemd, it is available on most recent distributions out-of-the-box and requires no additional dependencies.
This deck will introduce a few concepts involved in containers and will guide you through the steps of building a container from scratch. The payload will be a simple service, which will be automatically activated by systemd when the first request arrives.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Alt. GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using ...James Anderson
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.
