My dog is a hacker and will steal your data!rafa_el_souza
Abstract:
This presentation is about a creative approach to intrusion tests, as the popular saying would say: "–The dog is man's best friend" (he makes you feel good and secure). Let's explore the vulnerability of layer eight, the human being, subject to error and the social engineering techniques; This is an innovative method, with art and style, will be simpler than it sounds; The dog will be used as an attack tool, which will carry a mobile phone hidden along with its pectoral collar.
The attack vectors are triggered automatically without any human interaction. This may include geographically close attacks, such as fake Wi-Fi access points, cellular base stations or local user attacks on a network, we can exploit DNS hijacking, packet injection, Evil-Twin, rogue router or ISP, and many other variants. Furthermore, the target will connect to your rogue wifi access point and the rules are enabled with the DHCP configurations to allow fake AP to allocate IP address to the clients and forward traffic to a fake/malicious web-site; Then, the information can be stored easily as well the injection of malicious file to remotely control the victim.
And it's done. You can drop your hacker dog in a park and expect him to hack people for you, quietly, that's perfect!

In the digital age, one of the most effective ways to gather data and information about a potential enemy state is by infiltrating their ranks with malware. This webinar takes a deep drive into advanced persistent threat attacks performed by nation states. We will discuss various actors, government sponsored hackers, such as Duke, Bear, and Panda. Then we will look at malware created, like Regin, Elise, Flame, Equation Group, Babar, OnionDuke, and Dark Hotel.
Charla para la Semana Informática 2015, en la que se hablará de ciberamenazas: ciberguerra, ciberterrorismo y ciberespionaje, junto con las medidas que podemos tomar para defendernos
Apple introduced a new set of features in iOS 8 and Yosemite under the name "Continuity". These features allow iPhones to work with other iDevices such as Macs and iPads in new ways. Handoff, Instant hotspot and Airdrop are some of the new services offered by Continuity. Among these new services is one named "Call Relay". Essentially, it allows one to make and receive phone calls via iDevices and route them through the iPhone. This is not your typical VOIP service but a P2P connection based on a proprietary protocol. Apple's security white-paper is short and vague on this particular topic. Only four paragraphs are dedicated to explain how Call Relay works and the only security relevant information is as follows: "The audio will be seamlessly transmitted from your iPhone using a secure peer-to-peer connection between the two devices."
I reverse engineered the protocol to understand how it works. The goal was to see if Apple's design was secure and find vulnerabilities focusing on ways to eavesdrop phone calls. In this presentation, I will start by explaining all the details of this protocol and the process of reverse engineering it. Once the protocol is understood by the audience, I will discuss the thread surface and the different attack vectors possible. I will focus on what worked and demonstrate with demos. We will see how it is possible to abuse the protocol to spy on victims by leaving their mic open. We can also troll victims by dropping or preventing them from picking up phone calls. Last, I will explain how an attacker can abuse multi-party calls to impersonate other callers. Once we understand the vulnerabilities, we will discuss how it can be weaponized to build an amateur (insert 3 letters here)-spy program. This presentation covers CVE-2016-4635, CVE-2016-4721, CVE-2016-4722 and CVE-2016-7577

Secure Yourself, Practice what we preach - BSides Austin 2015Michael Gough
We all practice Information Security, but do we practice what we preach? Do we do what we ask of our employees and clients to our own, family and work computers?
Mindfulness – “The quality or state of being conscious or aware of something.” Security can seem intimidating and complex for many, but we shouldn’t (can’t) let that stop us from doing everything we can to secure our WordPress sites and ourselves. After all, our websites are often part of our livelihood. In this session Adam addresses the “big picture” of personal and website security and breaks down the fundamental tasks needed for a strong security plan online. He provides an actionable checklist on what audience members can implement immediately to better secure themselves online in addition to their WordPress websites. After attending this session, audience members will have a better understanding of personal security online and how it affects website security as a whole, as well as steps they can take to mitigate risk in the future.
Modern Reconnaissance Phase on APT - protection layerShakacon
This presentation will show how APT actors are evolving and how the reconnaissance phase is changing to protect their valuable 0-day exploit or malware frameworks. This talk will mainly focus on the usage of Office documents and watering hole attacks designed to establish if the target is the intended one (we will mention campaigns against political or military organizations). The techniques and the obfuscation put in place by these actors will be described in detail (techniques based on Macro, JavaScript, PowerShell, Flash or Python). At the end of the presentation, we will show different mitigations to help attendees protect their users.
It’s not news that threats are growing across the IT security landscape. Today’s malware imposes significant business risks due to the highly organized nature of attacks – applications, web sites, and social networks are all subject to attacks and vulnerabilities. Hackers are highly organized professionals with vast networks who are able to precisely target an unsuspecting victim, including many small businesses and their employees. Users may not even realize his/her machine has been compromised for days, weeks, or even months due to the nature of these attacks. During this talk, Mark Villinski will examine what this means for business owners and what IT managers need to look for to stay on top of these threats.

[CB16] Facebook Malware: Tag Me If You Can by Ido Naor & Dani GolandCODE BLUE
On June, thousands of Facebook users complained that they had been infected by a virus through their accounts after they received a message from a Facebook friend claiming they had mentioned them in a comment. Kaspersky Lab researcher Ido Naor and Dani Goland, CEO & founder of Undot, decided to investigate. They quickly discovered that the message had in fact been initiated by attackers and unleashed a two-stage attack on recipients. The first stage of the attack started when the user clicked on the “mention”. A malicious file seized control of their browsers, terminating its legitimate session and replacing it with a malicious one that captured their entire web traffic. The second stage included a highly sophisticated script that took over victims Facebook and Google Drive accounts. After puzzling the script, they managed to extract the proverbial needle from a haystack: an unknown Facebook vulnerability that allowed an attacker to exploit the notifications functionality.
In this talk, Dani and Ido will dive into the bites and bytes of the campaign and explaining how the attackers exploited Facebook to spread the malware.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...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).
