Introduction To Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration TestingRaghav Bisht
A vulnerability assessment identifies vulnerabilities in systems and networks to understand threats and risks. Penetration testing simulates cyber attacks to detect exploitable vulnerabilities. There are three types of penetration testing: black box with no system info; white box with full system info; and grey box with some system info. Common vulnerabilities include SQL injection, XSS, weak authentication, insecure storage, and unvalidated redirects. Tools like Nexpose, QualysGuard, and OpenVAS can automate vulnerability assessments.
This document discusses security testing and key security concepts. It provides an overview of why security is important, common security breaches, and how authentication, authorization, availability, confidentiality, and integrity help ensure security. It also offers some simple security checks like encrypting passwords and disabling browser back buttons on banking sites. The document recommends performing regular security testing and penetration testing to check for vulnerabilities and make systems more secure by default.
What is security testing and why it is so important?ONE BCG
Security Testing is described as a type of Software Testing that assures software systems and applications are free from any vulnerabilities, threats, risks that may cause a big loss. Security testing of any system is about uncovering all likely loopholes and weaknesses of the system which might end up in a loss of information, revenue, repute at the hands of the employees or outsiders of the Organization.
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.

Dennis Chaupis presented on vulnerability management programs. He explained that a VMP involves more than just vulnerability assessments and penetration testing, including asset management, patch management, infrastructure builds, technology intake processes, secure software development, threat intelligence, endpoint security, and defining an organization's risk appetite. A VMP relies on other security processes and aims to formalize how they work together. Key roles in a VMP include the CISO overseeing the program while working with the CIO, CRO, and chief auditor. Important outputs of a VMP are security metrics and reporting that show an organization's vulnerability status.

SAST vs. DAST: What’s the Best Method For Application Security Testing?Cigital
High profile security breaches are leading to heightened organizational security concerns. Firms around the world are now observing the consequences of security breaches that are becoming more widespread and more advanced. Due to this, firms are ready to identify vulnerabilities in their applications and mitigate the risks.
Two ways to go about this are static application security testing (SAST) and dynamic application security testing (DAST). These application security testing methodologies are used to find the security vulnerabilities that make your organization’s applications susceptible to attack.
The two methodologies approach applications very differently. They are most effective at different phases of the software development life cycle (SDLC) and find different types of vulnerabilities. For example, SAST detects critical vulnerabilities such as cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, and buffer overflow earlier in the SDLC. DAST, on the other hand, uses an outside-in penetration testing approach to identify security vulnerabilities while web applications are running.
Let us guide you through your application security testing journey with more key differences between SAST and DAST:

Penetration testing tests systems to exploit vulnerabilities either automatically or manually, determining security weaknesses to test an organization's security policies. Types of penetration testing include white box within a network, black box externally without network knowledge, and gray box externally with some internal knowledge.
This document discusses vulnerability assessment and penetration testing. It defines them as two types of vulnerability testing that search for known vulnerabilities and attempt to exploit vulnerabilities, respectively. Vulnerability assessment uses automated tools to detect known issues, while penetration testing employs hacking techniques to demonstrate how deeply vulnerabilities could be exploited like an actual attacker. Both are important security practices for identifying weaknesses and reducing risks, but require different skills and have different strengths, weaknesses, frequencies, and report outputs. Reasons for vulnerabilities include insecure coding, limited testing, and misconfigurations. The document outlines common vulnerability and attack types as well as how vulnerability assessment and penetration testing are typically conducted.
Testing is the process of validating and verifying software to ensure it meets specifications and functions as intended. There are different levels of testing including unit, integration, system, and acceptance testing. An important part of testing is having a test plan that outlines the test strategy, cases, and process to be followed. Testing helps find defects so the product can be improved.

Don’t Let Missed Bugs Cause Mayhem in your Organization!Qualitest
This document discusses how cognitive biases can cause testers to miss bugs and provides strategies to overcome these biases. It explains that testers make judgments using both fast, intuitive System 1 thinking and slower, deliberate System 2 thinking. Common cognitive biases like representative bias, confirmation bias, and inattentional blindness are described as well as how they can influence testing. The document recommends techniques like exploratory testing to leverage more intuitive System 1 thinking and find bugs. It suggests test managers foster an environment where testers are comfortable using more subjective thinking and the QA profession shifts focus from requirements coverage to risk-based exploratory testing.

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.

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.
