OS command injection vulnerabilities occur when user input is not sanitized before being passed to a shell command interpreter. This allows attackers to inject arbitrary commands that will be executed by the server, potentially compromising the server or application data. Command injection vulnerabilities are serious because they may enable attackers to use the server as a platform for launching attacks against other systems. Commix is an open source tool that can detect and exploit command injection vulnerabilities.

Modern enterprises are increasingly adopting APIs, exceeding all predictions. With more businesses investing in microservices and the increased consumption of cloud APIs, you need to secure beyond just a handful of well-known APIs. You will need to secure a higher number of internal and external endpoints.
At the same time, security itself is a broad area and vendors implement a number of seemingly similar standards and patterns, making it very difficult for consumers to settle on the best option for securing APIs. The sheer number of options can be very confusing.
There is much to learn about API security, regardless of whether you are a novice or expert and it’s extremely important that you do because security is an integral part of any development project, including API ecosystems.
This webinar will deep-dive into the importance of API security, API security patterns, and how identity and access management (IAM) fit in the ecosystem.
DURING THE WEBINAR, WE WILL COVER:
Managed APIs
OAuth 2.0 and API security patterns
Introduction to WSO2 Identity Server

Insufficient data encoding occurs when special characters in input data are not properly encoded before being processed or output. This can lead to injection attacks like SQL injection or cross-site scripting attacks. To prevent this, all data from external sources, both on input and output, should be encoded according to the interpreter that will use the data. Common interpreters are HTML, JavaScript, and SQL, and proper encoding prevents attacks by changing the meaning of special characters.

The OpenVAS Manager receives tasks from the administrator and keeps a history of past scans.
Bug Bounty Guide | Tools and Resource
What is Bug Bounty?
A bug bounty is a program offered by organizations, typically websites, software developers, and technology companies, to incentivize ethical hackers and security researchers to identify and report security vulnerabilities or bugs in their systems or products.
These programs are designed to encourage responsible disclosure of security issues, and typically offer rewards or bounties to individuals who identify and report such issues. Rewards may range from monetary compensation to recognition, swag or even a job offer.
Bug bounties are a way for organizations to crowdsource security testing, identify and address security vulnerabilities in their systems and products, and ultimately enhance the security of their technology. Additionally, bug bounty programs provide a way for security researchers to earn money while helping to improve the security of online systems and applications.
How to Start Bug Bounty?
1. Learn the basics: Familiarize yourself with the fundamentals of web application security and the common vulnerabilities that exist. Some good resources for learning include the OWASP Top 10, web application security blogs, and online courses or tutorials.
2. Choose a bug bounty platform: There are many different bug bounty platforms available, such as HackerOne, Bugcrowd, and Synack. Choose a platform that aligns with your interests and skill level, and create an account.
3. Familiarize yourself with the platform’s rules and policies: Before you start testing, make sure you understand the rules and policies of the platform you’re using. This will help ensure that you don’t accidentally violate any terms and conditions.
4. Select a target: Choose a target that you’re interested in testing, such as a website or application. Make sure it’s within the scope of the bug bounty program you’re participating in.
5. Start testing: Use a combination of manual and automated testing techniques to identify potential vulnerabilities. Some common testing techniques include scanning for open ports, fuzzing parameters, and testing for injection vulnerabilities.
6. Submit vulnerabilities: Once you’ve identified a vulnerability, submit it to the bug bounty program for verification and reward. Make sure to follow the platform’s guidelines for submitting vulnerabilities, and provide clear and detailed information about the issue.
7. Stay engaged: Participate in the bug bounty community, ask questions, and learn from other researchers. This will help you improve your skills and stay up to date with the latest trends and techniques in bug bounty hunting.

1) Threat to intellectual property: Hacking , After conducting a forensic review of the drives,
Bailey(CEO of IT company) learned that intruders had been lurking on two of his company’s
servers for almost a year. These hackers, who were traced to a university in Beijing, had entered
the company’s extranet through an unpatched vulnerability in the Solaris operating system. As
far as Bailey could tell, they hadn’t accessed any classified information. But they were able to
view mountains of intellectual property, including design information and product specifications
related to transportation and communications systems, along with information belonging to the
company’s customers and partners.
Activist hackers, or hacktivists, can also be a danger to companies. For example, early last year
members of Anonymous, the hacker collective, copied and publicly released sensitive files of
H.B. Gary Federal, a security company.
Cpoyrights deviation or piracy :
Intellectual property theft involves robbing people or companies of their ideas, inventions, and
creative expressions—known as “intellectual property”—which can include everything from
trade secrets and proprietary products and parts to movies, music, and software.
It is a growing threat—especially with the rise of digital technologies and Internet file sharing
networks. And much of the theft takes place overseas, where laws are often lax and enforcement
is more difficult. All told, intellectual property theft costs U.S. businesses billions of dollars a
year and robs the nation of jobs and tax revenues.
Preventing intellectual property theft is a priority of the FBI’s criminal investigative program. It
specifically focuses on the theft of trade secrets and infringements on products that can impact
consumers’ health and safety, such as counterfeit aircraft, car, and electronic parts. Key to the
program’s success is linking the considerable resources and efforts of the private sector with law
enforcement partners on local, state, federal, and international levels.

Cyber intrusions into US Critical Infrastructure systems are happening with increased frequency. For many industrial control systems (ICSs), it’s not a matter of if an intrusion will take place, but when. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2015, 295 incidents were reported to ICS-CERT, and many more went unreported or undetected. The capabilities of our adversaries have been demonstrated and cyber incidents are increasing in frequency and complexity. Simply building a
network with a hardened perimeter is no longer adequate. Securing ICSs against the modern threat requires well-planned and well-implemented strategies that will provide network defense
teams a chance to quickly and effectively detect, counter, and expel an adversary. This paper presents seven strategies that can be implemented today to counter common exploitable
weaknesses in “as-built” control systems.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

2. What’s the concept
about?
Sensitive data, such as stack
traces or information about
infrastructure is leaked
through error messages.
What could happen?
An attacker could be provided
with sensitive information that
could help identify weak spots in
the application. These weak spots
could be investigated to leverage
attacks against the application.
How to implement it?
When an unexpected error occurs,
users should be presented with as
little information as possible. The
application should close in a
controlled and secure way.
3. Robust Error Checking
Understanding the concept
An application has
implemented robust error
checking that handles
errors properly and that
does not provide too
much information.
An attacker tries breaking
the application by
providing unexpected
data to an input field
hereby forcing an error.
Because no information can
be inferred from the error
message, the attacker can
not infer anything about
the application’s internals
or what caused the error.
A generic error message is
provided to the end-user,
but detailed information is
logged on the server.
Properly handling
exceptions
Web server
Set-cookie: 3’(@#ù£µ$*
OOPS!
An unexpected error
has occurred, please
contact the system
administrator.
4. Robust Error Checking
What could happen with the concept?
An attacker attacks an
application where exception
handling has not been
implemented correctly.
By providing input field
with unexpected data, he
is able to force an error
from the application.
The attacker now knows
more about the application:
what frameworks are used,
what database connections
and where did he break the
application.
An error page with stack
trace information is
returned to the attacker.
Unhandled exceptions
Web serverSet-cookie: 3’(@#ù£µ$*
5. Robust Error Checking
Typical controls
Use generic error messages to inform users of exceptions.
Do not disclose private information.
No stack traces, internal IP or user information, library information, etc.
Write error information to a log for further analysis.
Make sure the system is in a clean state after failure.
Roll back transactions, release resources.
Although the “Robust Error Checking” concept will not stop
attackers, it will make it much harder for an attacker to
analyze the inner-workings of the system.
