Cyber Warfare is the current single greatest emerging threat to National Security. Network security has become an essential component of any computer network. As computer networks and systems become ever more fundamental to modern society, concerns about security has become increasingly important. There are a multitude of different applications open source and proprietary available for the protection +-system administrator, to decide on the most suitable format for their purpose requires knowledge of the available safety measures, their features and how they affect the quality of service, as well as the kind of data they will be allowing through un flagged. A majority of methods currently used to ensure the quality of a networks service are signature based. From this information, and details on the specifics of popular applications and their implementation methods, we have carried through the ideas, incorporating our own opinions, to formulate suggestions on how this could be done on a general level. The main objective was to design and develop an Intrusion Detection System. While the minor objectives were to; Design a port scanner to determine potential threats and mitigation techniques to withstand these attacks. Implement the system on a host and Run and test the designed IDS. In this project we set out to develop a Honey Pot IDS System. It would make it easy to listen on a range of ports and emulate a network protocol to track and identify any individuals trying to connect to your system. This IDS will use the following design approaches: Event correlation, Log analysis, Alerting, and policy enforcement. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) attempt to identify unauthorized use, misuse, and abuse of computer systems. In response to the growth in the use and development of IDSs, we have developed a methodology for testing IDSs. The methodology consists of techniques from the field of software testing which we have adapted for the specific purpose of testing IDSs. In this paper, we identify a set of general IDS performance objectives which is the basis for the methodology. We present the details of the methodology, including strategies for test-case selection and specific testing procedures. We include quantitative results from testing experiments on the Network Security Monitor (NSM), an IDS developed at UC Davis. We present an overview of the software platform that we have used to create user-simulation scripts for testing experiments. The platform consists of the UNIX tool expect and enhancements that we have developed, including mechanisms for concurrent scripts and a record-and-replay feature. We also provide background information on intrusions and IDSs to motivate our work.

We are going to cover how to use via API to: - execute prompts in text and chat - cover multimodal use cases with image prompts. - finetune and distill to improve knowledge domains - run function calls with foundation models to optimize them for specific tasks. At the end of the session, developers will understand how to innovate with generative AI and develop apps using the generative ai industry trends.
ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

Overview
What is software security ?
Understanding the role that software plays
in providing security
as source of insecurity
Principles, methods & technologies to
make software more secure
Practical experience with some of these
Typical threats & vulnerabilities in
software, and how to avoid them
4. 4
Overview
Software plays a major role in providing
security, and is a major source of security
problems
Software security does not get much
attention
In programming courses
Many future programmers have little training on
software security
In software company’s goal
5. 5
Overview
We focus on software security, but don’t forget
that security is about many things:
people
human computer interaction, HCI
Attackers, users, employees, sys-admins, programmers
access control, passwords, biometrics
cryptology, protocols
Monitoring, auditing, risk management
Policy, legislation
public relations, public perception
….
7. 7
Software and Security
Security is about regulating access to
assets
E.g., information or functionality
Software provides functionality
E.g., on-line exam results
This functionality comes with certain risks
E.g., what are risks of on-line exam results?
Privacy (score leakage); Modification
Software security is about managing
these risks
8. 8
Software and Security
Security is always a secondary concern
Primary goal of software is to provide
functionalities or services
Managing associated risks is a
derived/secondary concern
There is often a trade-off/conflict between
security
functionality & convenience
Security achievement is hard to evaluate
when nothing bad happens
11. 11
Starting Point for Ensuring Security
Any discussion of security should start
with an inventory of
the stakeholders (owners, companies…)
their assets (data, service, customer info…)
the threats to these assets (erase, steal…)
Attackers
employees, clients, script kiddies, criminals
Any discussion of security without
understanding these issues is
meaningless
12. 12
Security Concepts
Security is about imposing countermeasures to
reduce risks to assets to acceptable levels
“Perfect security” is not necessary and costly
A security policy is a specification of what
security requirements/goals the
countermeasures are intended to achieve
secure against what and from whom ?
Security mechanisms to enforce the policy
What actions we should take under an attack?
13. 13
Security Objectives: CIA
Confidentiality (or secrecy)
unauthorized users cannot read information
Integrity
unauthorized users cannot alter information
Availability
authorized users can always access information
Non-repudiation for accountability
authorized users cannot deny actions
Others
Privacy, anonymity…
14. 14
Security Goals
The well-known trio
confidentiality, integrity, avaliability (CIA)
There are more “concrete” goals
traceability and auditing (forensics)
monitoring (real-time auditing)
multi-level security
privacy & anonymity
...
and meta-property
assurance – that the goals are met
“information assurance”
15. 15
How to Realize Security Objectives? AAAA
Authentication
who are you?
Access control/Authorization
control who is allowed to do what
this requires a specification of who is allowed
to do what
Auditing
check if anything went wrong
Action
if so, take action
16. 16
How to Realize Security Objectives?
Other names for the last three A's
Prevention
measures to stop breaches of security goals
Detection
measures to detect breaches of security goals
Reaction
measures to recover assets, repair damage, and persecute
(and deter) offenders
Good prevention does not make detection &
reaction superfluous
E.g., breaking into any house with windows is trivial;
despite this absence of prevention, detection &
reaction still deter burglars
17. 17
Threats vs Security Requirements
information disclosure
confidentiality
tampering with information
integrity
denial-of-service (DoS)
availability
spoofing
authentication
unauthorized access
access control
18. 18
Countermeasures
Countermeasures can be non-IT related
physical security of building
screening of personnel
legal framework to deter criminals
training employee
but we won’t consider these
19. 19
Countermeasures and More Vulnerabilities
Countermeasures can lead to new
vulnerabilities
E.g., if we only allow three incorrect logins, as a
countermeasure to brute-force attacks (account be
frozen), which new vulnerability do we introduce?
Denial of Service attack
If a countermeasure relies on new software, bugs in
this new software may mean
that it is ineffective, or
worse still, that it introduces more weaknesses
E.g., Witty worm appeared in Mar 2004 exploited ISS
security software

CA-2003-24: Buffer Management Vulnerability in OpenSSH
(Sept 16)
There is a remotely exploitable buffer overflow in versions of
OpenSSH prior to 3.7. ...
21. 21
Example: insecurities in SSH
SSH was meant to provide security, namely as
countermeasure against eavesdropping on network, but
is a source of new vulnerabilities
Crypto is not the cause of these vulnerabilities, and
could not solve/prevent these vulnerabilities
Protocol, implementation errors (e.g., WEP in WiFi)
Programming errors (buffer overflow)
Distribution errors (trojan)
Bruce Schneier: “Currently encryption is the strongest link we have.
Everything else is worse: software, networks, people. There's
absolutely no value in taking the strongest link and making it even
stronger”
23. 23
Two Sides to Software Security
What are the methods and technologies,
available to us if we want to provide security?
security in the software development lifecycle
engineering & design principles
security technologies
What are the methods and technologies
available to the enemy who wants to break
security ?
What are the threats and vulnerabilities we’re up
against?
What are the resources and tools available to
attackers?

Security in Software Development Life Cycle

No. 2, pp. 80-83, 2004.
25. 25
Example Security Technologies
Cryptography
for threats related to insecure communication and
storage
Covered in other courses
Access control
for threats related to misbehaving users
E.g., role-based access control
Language-based security
for threats related to misbehaving programs
typing, memory-safety
sandboxing
E.g., Java, .NET/C#
26. 26
Example Security Technologies
These technologies may be provided by the
infrastructure/platform an application builds on,
networking infrastructure
which may e.g. use SSL
operating system or database system
providing e.g. access control
programming platform
for instance Java or .NET sandboxing
Of course, software in such infrastructures
implementing security has to be secure
27. 27
Software Infrastructure
Applications are built on top of "infrastructure"
consisting of
operating system
programming language/platform/middleware
programming language itself
interface to CPU & RAM
libraries and APIs
interface to peripherals (socket, interrupt…)
provider of building blocks
other applications & utilities
E.g., database
This infrastructure provides security
mechanisms, but is also a source of insecurity
29. 29
Sources of Software Vulnerabilities
Bugs in the application or its infrastructure
i.e. doesn't do what it should do
E.g., access flag can be modified by user input
Inappropriate features in the infrastructure
i.e. does something that it shouldn't do
functionality winning over security
E.g., a search function that can display other users info
Inappropriate use of features provided by the
infrastructure
Main causes:
complexity of these features
functionality winning over security, again
ignorance of developers
30. 30
Functionality vs Security
Lost battles?
operating systems
huge OS, with huge attack surface (API),
programming languages
buffer overflows, format strings, ... in C
public fields in Java
lots of things in PHP
webbrowsers
plug-ins for various formats, javascript, VBscript, ...
email clients
32. 32
Threat Modeling
Aka security/risk/requirements analysis
A first step, not just for software
Identify assets & stakeholders
Consider architecture of application & its environment
Brainstorm about known threats
Define security assumptions
Rank threats by risk
≈ impact x likelihood
Decide which threats to respond to
Decide how to mitigate these threats
which techniques & technologies
33. 33
Example Techniques to Mitigate Threats
Spoofing Identity
authentication, protect keys & passwords, ...
Tampering with Data
access control, hashes, digital signatures, MACs (message
authentication codes), write-once storage...
Repudiation
logging, audit trails, digital signatures, ...
Information Disclosure
access control, encryption, not storing secrets, ...
Denial of Service
graceful degradation, filtering, increase server resources
Elevation of Privilege
access control, sandboxing, ...
35. 35
Potential threats to the e-mail system
Eavesdropping on e-mail
Communication over the Internet is relatively easy to eavesdrop
Hence, content of e-mail is by no means confidential
Critical information can be encrypted and in email attachment
Modifying e-mail
Interception of the communication (e.g. between the two MTS’s)
allows an attacker to modify the e-mail
Hence, integrity of the e-mail is not guaranteed
Spoofing e-mail
MTS blindly believes other MTS about who the sender of the e-
mail is
Hence, no guarantee about the identity of the sender
Attacks against the mail servers
Server is a “trusted software layer”, making a limited
functionality (sending/receiving mail) available to all clients
Email as an attack dispersion channel
36. 36
Attack Formats
Spam
Marketer can send massive amounts of unsolicited e-mail
Denial-of-service attacks
Amount of storage space on mail server can be exhausted by
receiving too many very big e-mails
A mail server is slowed down by too many received emails
A client receives thousands of garbage emails and hence
missing real email
Phishing
Email clients trust received spoofed email
Give out their private data (e.g., back account) accordingly
Direct reply back
Input in a directed fake website
Email malware
E-mail client is again a trusted software layer
Executable attachments make virus-spreading easy
37. 37
Possible Defenses
Many other threats
Privacy threat: detecting when an e-mail is read
Repudiation of sending: sender can deny having sent a
message
Repudiation of receiving: receiver can deny having ever
received a particular message
Eavesdropping and modification
Can be countered by cryptographic techniques
Spoofing
Can be countered by strong authentication protocols
Attacks against servers
Can be countered by
Careful software coding
Clear access control model
Strong authentication
However, email spam, phishing are hard to defend
Phishing: there are always users without security knowledge!
38. 38
Vulnerabilities in Countermeasures
Each of the discussed countermeasures
can again have vulnerabilities:
Bad choice of cryptographic algorithm
Protocol design weakness
Implementation bug
…
Example: Witty worm in 2004
Compromise a class of security software from
Internet Security Systems (ISS) now IBM Internet
Security Systems installed on user computers
