Phishing is a type of social engineering attack that attempts to steal user data like login credentials. It works by tricking users into clicking links or downloading files that can install malware. Phishing has been around for decades and is still one of the most common cyberattacks. It often leads to financial losses from stolen funds or data breaches. Common phishing techniques include link manipulation, smishing (phishing via text), vishing (phishing via phone), fake websites, and pop-up messages. Spotting and avoiding phishing requires being wary of urgent or threatening language, suspicious links and files, and requests for private information from unexpected sources.
Phishing attacks are designed to steal sensitive information or money by tricking victims. Cybercriminals use social engineering to gather personal details from social media profiles that are then used to create seemingly legitimate messages. Common phishing techniques include link manipulation, where malicious links are disguised to appear safe. Tools like Wireshark, Nmap, and Burp Suite can be used to gather information from target networks. Examples show how phishing emails contain all-caps subject lines, hide the To/Cc fields, and use links that don't match the claimed domain to steal login credentials or infect computers with malware.
Email threats are always changing and evolving, so it's critical to remain on top of them. Here are the most frequent email threats today, as well as tips on how to recognize and manage them.
This document discusses different types of phishing attacks like spear phishing and whaling attacks. Spear phishing targets individuals through personalized emails while whaling targets senior executives. The document provides tips to avoid phishing like carefully examining emails for spelling errors or suspicious links/attachments. It also recommends using strong, unique passwords, updating software regularly, and restricting personal information shared on social media to limit information available to phishers.
This document discusses various types of phishing attacks, including spear phishing, whaling, clone phishing, and others. It provides examples of successful historical phishing attacks that stole millions, such as Operation Phish Phry in 2009. The document also describes tools that can be used to conduct phishing experiments, such as harvesting emails, creating fake login pages, and sending phishing emails.
Phishing involves sending fraudulent emails pretending to be from reputable organizations like banks in order to trick recipients into revealing sensitive personal and financial information. Scam artists engage in phishing on a large scale to harvest usernames, passwords, account details and other data that they can use or sell illegally. Anti-phishing software and browser toolbars try to identify phishing content and warn users about fraudulent websites that are masquerading as legitimate organizations.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

“An Outlook of the Ongoing and Future Relationship between Blockchain Technologies and Process-aware Information Systems.” Invited talk at the joint workshop on Blockchain for Information Systems (BC4IS) and Blockchain for Trusted Data Sharing (B4TDS), co-located with with the 36th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE), 3 June 2024, Limassol, Cyprus.
2. Phishing is a type of social engineering
attack often used to steal user data,
including login credentials and credit card
numbers.
It is a cyber attack that mostly uses
disguised email as a weapon.
The goal is to trick the email recipient into
believing that the message is something
they want or need and to click a link or
download an attachment.
3. It's one of the oldest types of cyberattacks, dating back to the 1990s, via America
Online, or AOL.
It's still one of the most widespread and pernicious, with phishing messages and
techniques becoming increasingly sophisticated.
A group of hackers and pirates that banded together and called themselves the
warez community are considered the first “phishers.”
In an early scam, they created an algorithm that allowed them to generate
random credit card numbers, which they would then attempt to use to make
phony AOL accounts.

6. Spear Phishing
Attackers will often gather information about their targets to fill emails with more
authentic context. Some attackers even hijack business email communications and create
highly customized messages.
Clone Phishing
Attackers are able to view legitimate, previously delivered email messages, make a nearly
identical copy of it—or “clone”—and then change an attachment or link to something
malicious.
Whaling
Whaling specifically targets high profile and/or senior executives in an organization. The
content of a whaling attempt will often present as a legal communication or other high-
level executive business.
7. Vishing
Vishing refers to phishing done over phone calls. Since voice is used for this type of
phishing, it is called vishing → voice + phishing = vishing.
Smishing
SMS phishing or SMiShing is one of the easiest types of phishing attacks. The user is
targeted by using SMS alerts.
In-Session Phishing
Pop-up messages are the easiest way to run a successful phishing campaign. Through pop-
up messages, attackers get a window to steal the login credentials by redirecting them to a
fake website.
Search engine phishing
The scammers target certain keywords and create web pages they hope show up in the
search results. Visitors clicking on the link from Google may not realize it’s a phishing
scam until it’s too late.
8. The message is sent from a public email domain
The domain name is misspelled
The email is poorly written
It includes suspicious attachments or links
The message creates a sense of urgency
Legit companies usually call you by your name
9. Use HTTPS
A properly configured Web Browser
Monitoring Phishing Sites
Proper Email Client Configuration
Using SPAM Filters
10. Phishing kits as well as
mailing lists are available
on the dark web.
A couple of sites such
as Phishtank and OpenPhis
h keep crowd-sourced lists
of known phishing kits.
11. The story of Austrian aerospace executive Walter Stephan holds the record for being
the individual to lose the most money in history from a single scam – around $47
million.
During his tenure as CEO of FACC, which manufactures aircraft components for
Boeing and Airbus, cybercriminals faked Stephan’s email and demanded a lower-level
employee to transfer the enormous sum to an unknown bank account as part of an
“acquisition project”.
FACC’s systems were not hacked. The attacker seems to have simply guessed
Stephan’s email correctly, created a look-alike spoof email address, and then targeted
an entry-level accountant.
The employee immediately trusted the email and sent the wire. In the aftermath of
the loss, Stephan lost his position as CEO, FACC fired its chief financial officer, and
the company scrambled to retrieve the money – eventually recouping around one-fifth
of the loss.
To avoid the fate of FACC, businesses need to empower employees to verify email
communication that appears to come from senior board members.
13. The word “phishing” (a play on the word “fishing”) is an attempt, originally via a
message or email, to lure computer users to reveal sensitive personal information such
as passwords, birthdates, credit cards, and social security numbers. To perpetrate this
type of con, the communication pretends to be from an official representative of a
website or another institution a person has likely done business with (e.g., PayPal,
Amazon, UPS, Bank of America, etc.).
97% do not spot phishing emails
As people became more savvy about messenger scams, phishers switched to email
communications, which were easy to create, cheap to send out, and made it nearly
impossible for them to get caught
And while most of these phishing messages were poorly constructed and full of
grammatical errors at first, they quickly began to get more sophisticated.
There are many different methods and subcategories of phishing, but there is one thing
they all have in common: They want to fool you into giving up your personal
information.
Spear phishing email messages won’t look as random as more general phishing
attempts.
Whaling is not very different from spear phishing, but the targeted group becomes more
14. According to Verizon’s 2019 Data Breach Investigations Report, 32% of all cyber
attacks involved phishing.
The email itself may contain the company’s logo and phone number, and otherwise
look completely legitimate; another common tactic is to make it look like a
personal email from a friend or relative who wants to share something with you.
No legitimate organization will contact you from an address that ends
‘@gmail.com’.
The problem is that anyone can buy a domain name from a registrar.
Look not for spelling mistakes but for grammar mistakes
This will either be an infected attachment that you’re asked to download or a link
to a bogus website that requests login and other sensitive information. The longer
you think about something, the more likely you are to notice things that don’t
seem right.
Phishing emails typically use generic salutations such as “Dear valued member,”
“Dear account holder,” or “Dear customer.”
15. Using HTTPS means that the information passed between the browser and intended
server is all encrypted

There are also online tools available that can be used to check a site out before
navigating to it. Google Safe Browsing is one of the popular online tools available.
Disable links, and to receive warnings about suspicious domains and email addresses.
Along with proper email client configuration, you want to implement the use of SPAM
filters in your email.
Pay attention to is examining the “To” and “From” in the address line of a suspicious
email. Ensure the email came from a sender you actually know. Even if it does come
from a trusted sender, look in the To line to see if you are the only recipient.
Before opening an email, you can use your mouse to point and then hover over the
email to see if the Sender that appears in the from line, is actually the sender. As you
hover over a smaller box will appear with metadata information concerning the email.

Whaling is not very different from spear phishing, but the targeted group becomes more specific and confined in this type of phishing attack.
Considering the ease and enormity of data available in social networks, it is no surprise that phishers communicate confidently over a call in the name of friends, relatives or any related brand, without raising any suspicion.
