This document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Engin Kirda on reacting to advanced cyberattacks in real-time using Lastline's detection platform. The presentation discusses how malware has become more sophisticated, evasive, and targeted. Lastline takes a unique approach to detection by using full system emulation in their sandbox environment, which allows them to detect malware that evades traditional antivirus solutions and virtualized sandboxes. The Lastline platform components work together to analyze suspicious files, correlate events into high-level incidents, share threat intelligence, and help automatically mitigate breaches across an organization's network in real-time.
Malware in the Wild: Evolving to Evade DetectionLastline, Inc.
Lastline co-founder and chief architect Engin Kirda presents new insights into malware in the wild including new research coming out of Lastline Labs on high resolution dynamic analysis of Windows kernel root kits at SXSW Interactive.
Now you see me, now you don't: chasing evasive malware - Giovanni Vigna Lastline, Inc.
As sophisticated tools that combine static and dynamic analysis become more ubiquitous, cybercriminals are developing increasingly-evasive malware components that actively counteract analysis and behavior identification. Is this another arms race? Or is it possible to define, quantify, and identify "evasiveness" and use it as a way to detect malicious intent? This talk presents an overview of the problem and how it's been attacked from both industry and academia.
Most Ransomware Isn’t As Complex As You Might Think – Black Hat 2015 Lastline, Inc.
Ransomware has been widely touted as a highly-dangerous, sophisticated and destructive breed of malware – but according to recent research into the constraints, commonalities and advancements across 15 ransomware families – most ransomware today is actually more of a blunt instrument than a surgical tool in exploit kits. While certainly even simple programs can extort innocent people who aren’t able to separate real from fake cyber threats, the vast majority of the ransomware in the wild today is not necessarily as sophisticated or scary as it’s been made out to be. The real impact on victims who don't pay is typically still both reversible and preventable.
Using Static Binary Analysis To Find Vulnerabilities And Backdoors in FirmwareLastline, Inc.
Over the last few years, as the world has moved closer to realizing the idea of the Internet of Things, an increasing number of the analog things with which we used to interact every day have been replaced with connected devices. The increasingly-complex systems that drive these devices have one thing in common – they must all communicate to carry out their intended functionality. Such communication is handled by firmware embedded in the device. And firmware, like any piece of software, is susceptible to a wide range of errors and vulnerabilities.

Penetration Testing vs. Vulnerability ScanningSecurityMetrics
For more info on pen testing: securitymetrics.com/sm/pub/penetrationtesting
For more info on vulnerability scanning: securitymetrics.com/sm/pub/vulnerabilityscanning
Even the most experienced administrators may fail to implement the latest secure practices at your business. The easiest and most accurate ways to discover if your business is secure enough to withstand a hack is to test it through the eyes of a hacker. An ethical hacker is simply a computer bodyguard that manually examines a business environment for weaknesses via a penetration test, and determines which weaknesses he can exploit. Discover how penetration testers search for vulnerabilities by using the latest hacking techniques, and learn how to baton down your organizational hatches with penetration testing and vulnerability scanning.
IoT Malware: Comprehensive Survey, Analysis Framework and Case StudiesPriyanka Aash
Computer malware in all its forms is nearly as old as the first PCs running commodity OSes, dating back at least 30 years. However, the number and the variety of "computing devices" dramatically increased during the last several years. Therefore, the focus of malware authors and operators slowly but steadily started shifting or expanding towards Internet of Things (IoT) malware.
Unfortunately, at present there is no publicly available comprehensive study and methodology that collects, analyses, measures, and presents the (meta-)data related to IoT malware in a systematic and a holistic manner. In most cases, if not all, the resources on the topic are available as blog posts, sparse technical reports, or Systematization of Knowledge (SoK) papers deeply focused on a particular IoT malware strain (e.g., Mirai). Some other times those resources are already unavailable, or can become unavailable or restricted at any time. Moreover, many of such resources contain errors (e.g., wrong CVEs), omissions (e.g., hashes), limited perspectives (e.g., network behaviour only), or otherwise present incomplete or inaccurate analysis. Hence, all these factors leave unattended the main challenges of analysing, tracking, detecting, and defending against IoT malware in a systematic, effective and efficient way.
This work attempts to bridge this gap. We start with mostly manual collection, archival, meta-information extraction and cross-validation of more than 637 unique resources related to IoT malware families. These resources relate to 60 1 IoT malware families, and include 260 resources related to 48 unique vulnerabilities used in the disclosed or detected IoT malware attacks. We then use the extracted information to establish as accurately as possible the timeline of events related to each IoT malware family and relevant vulnerabilities, and to outline important insights and statistics. For example, our analysis shows that the mean and median CVSS scores of all analyzed vulnerabilities employed by the IoT malware families are quite modest yet: 6.9 and 7.1 for CVSSv2, and 7.5 and 7.5 for CVSSv3 respectively. Moreover, the public knowledge to defend against or prevent those vulnerabilities could have been used, on average, at least 90 days before the first malware samples were submitted for analysis. Finally, to help validate our work as well as to motivate its continuous growth and improvement by the research community, we open-source our datasets and release our IoT malware analysis framework and our IoT malware analysis framework.
Our researcher Aryeh Goretsky took a look at some of the more interesting pieces of malware and threats that have occurred over the first six months of the year 2014. And what a year it has been, with some serious new developments as well as persistence of numerous older threats.
This is my presentation in JWC 4th Event Computer and Network Security FOrum at Binus International University. I talk about how to setup your own malware lab for malware analysis purpose.
ESET researcher Aryeh Goretsky explains in this presentation why he hates the term Advanced Persitent Threats (APT), what are the common mechanisms of APT and what are the defensive technologies.
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:

Assessing the security posture of a web application is a common project for a penetration tester and a good skill for developers to know. In this talk, We’ll go over the different stages of a web application pen test, from start to finish. We’ll start with tools used during the discovery phase to utilize OSINT sources such as search engines, sub-domain brute-forcing and other methods to help you get a good idea of targets “footprint”, automated scanners and their use, all the way to manual testing and tools used for fuzzing parameters to find potential SQL injection vulnerabilities. We’ll also discuss pro-tips and tricks that we use while conducting a full application penetration assessment. After this talk, you should have a good understanding of what is needed as well as where to start on your journey to hacking web apps.
Finding the Sweet Spot: Counter Honeypot Operations (CHOps) by Jonathan Creek...EC-Council
Today there is a dispute over the ethics of operations involving honeypots and honeynets in cyber security. However, many organizations will adopt the use of such techniques and tools to develop defensive strategies to stop attackers. For professional offensive security practitioners, detecting, bypassing, and even avoiding honeypots is a new challenge and much is to be discovered and shared. This brief will work to accomplish these objectives and begin the development of a new framework for Counter Honeypot Operations (CHOps).
This presentation will provide an overview of what a penetration test is, why companies pay for them, and what role they play in most IT security programs. It will also include a brief overview of the common skill sets and tools used by today’s security professionals. Finally, it will offer some basic advice for getting started in penetration testing. This should be interesting to aspiring pentesters trying to gain a better understanding of how penetration testing fits into the larger IT security world.

Imperva - Hacking encounters of the 3rd kindBarry Shteiman
In this presentation, I explore the dangers and risks that are tied to the usage of third party software components in modern software infrastructure. We explore the vulnerable vectors that are being forced on our applications simply because we do not own the source code or the SLA to fix it, which means that it may require a compensating control of some sort.
As the software world evolves, more and more companies rely on 3rd party applications and software components as part of their infrastructure. However, this approach does not come without risks.
The implementation of 3rd party applications has its advantages, chief among them shortened development time frames and increased software maturity. Despite these obvious benefits, organizations must remain aware of potential security implications. This presentation will:
- Explain how 3rd party software vulnerabilities might lead to a data breach
- Deliver examples of incidents and how they occur
- Discuss the effectiveness of patching

Top 10 Software to Detect & Prevent Security Vulnerabilities from BlackHat US...Mobodexter
BlackHat USA 2015 got recently concluded and we head a bunch of news around how BlackHat brought to light various security vulnerabilities in day-to-day life like ZigBee protocol, Device for stealing keyless cars & ATM card skimmers. However the presenters, who are also ethical hackers, also gave a bunch of tools to help software community to detect & prevent security holes in the hardware & software while the product is ready for release. We have reviewed all the presentations from the conference and give you here a list of Top 10 tools/utilities that helps in security vulnerability detection & prevention.
Some of the most famous information breaches over the past few years have been a result of entry through embedded and IoT system environments. Often these breaches are a result of unexpected system architecture and service connectivity on the network that allows the hacker to enter through an embedded device and make their way to the financial or corporate servers. Experts in embedded security discuss key security issues for embedded systems and how to address them.
Security in the age of open source - Myths and misperceptionsTim Mackey
As delivered at Interop ITX 2017.
The security of open source software is a function of the security of its components. For most applications, open source technologies are at their core, but security related issues may not be disclosed directly against the application because its use of the open-source component is hidden. In this talk, I explored how information flow benefits attackers, but how awareness can help defenders. I presented key attributes any vulnerability solution should have - including deep understanding of how open source development works and being DevOps aware.
Behind the Curtain: Exposing Advanced ThreatsCisco Canada
Today's advanced threats hide in plain sight, patiently waiting to strike, challenging security teams to track their progress across their network and endpoints. Meanwhile, executive and board-level reporting requirements are increasing as leadership demands in-depth answers that are unavailable from today’s block/allow security tools. With 55% of organizations unable to identify the origin of their last security breach, it’s time to stop relying on tools that define security based on what they see ‘out there’ and instead hunt for threats by tracking files, file relationships, and both endpoint and network behavior ‘in here’—inside your environment. In the first part of this interactive session, learn how Cisco’s Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) solutions use big data analytics to compare a real-time, dynamic history of your environment to the global threat landscape, automatically uncovering and blocking advanced threats before they strike. Then watch workflow examples demonstrating how your security team can use this advanced visibility and control to dramatically improve their efficiency and finally deliver the business 100% confidence answers.

It’s all over the news that data breaches occur daily! I asked WHY these hackers can download terabytes of data in timespans of months without being noticed. What are these companies paying their SOC team millions of dollars for? How come all the money is going to devices to prevent breaches and little to none in detecting when they occur? Don’t people know there are only two types of companies “those that been hacked, and those that don’t know they been hacked”. What can I do to detect a breach within seconds on any network scale? I think I figured it out. In my talk you’ll learn how you and your clients can benefit by applying my exclusive techniques, which I’ve successfully deployed. So the next time you get hacked the hacker would not be able to steal all those credit cards and photos of that Halloween party.

Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.

Why React Native as a Strategic Advantage for Startup Innovation.pdfayushiqss
Do you know that React Native is being increasingly adopted by startups as well as big companies in the mobile app development industry? Big names like Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest have already integrated this robust open-source framework.
In fact, according to a report by Statista, the number of React Native developers has been steadily increasing over the years, reaching an estimated 1.9 million by the end of 2024. This means that the demand for this framework in the job market has been growing making it a valuable skill.
But what makes React Native so popular for mobile application development? It offers excellent cross-platform capabilities among other benefits. This way, with React Native, developers can write code once and run it on both iOS and Android devices thus saving time and resources leading to shorter development cycles hence faster time-to-market for your app.
Let’s take the example of a startup, which wanted to release their app on both iOS and Android at once. Through the use of React Native they managed to create an app and bring it into the market within a very short period. This helped them gain an advantage over their competitors because they had access to a large user base who were able to generate revenue quickly for them.

Editor's Notes
In several
And now let us introduce the topic
rtdsc looping (timing evasion)
obfuscation uses a mildly obfuscated code (oligomorphic decryptor), multistage encrypted shellcode, runpe/hollowing, encryption
track/keylogger data sent to c2 is encrypted; networked based detection of the c2 still quite easy -> enterprise could detect it reliably, but DLP mechanisms would fail
Using publicly available services and tools for each step
Before introducing the topic, it’s worthwhile to provide a high level overview of the Lastline Platform, to make sure the audience will follow correctly the following slides.
Two quick slides to describe the architecture of our platform. To quickly emphasize the scalable architecture, which de-couple the role of the analysis and security enforcement points.
The meaning of this slide is a very old meme: the power is useless without control.
The technology is a mandatory starting point, but it must be easy to integrate to let the organization unleash the full range of capabilities.
I won’t ever use the term remediation, since it may have different meanings (cleaning the endpoint or verify the IOCs). Besides according to my experience, not all the CxOs believe remediation is possible. Rather I believe could be better to use terms such as containment and/or mitigation.
The concept of multi-dimensional information is explained later. Maybe the term is exaggerated (on purpose). The meaning is that the information can be used for both operation engineers and security analysts.

It is important to stress here that we do not forward single sparse events but the post processed information.
Maybe here it’s worth to mention that this is a real backoff sample analysed in August.
