There has been no shortage of Android malware analysis reports recently, but thus far that trend has not been accompanied with an equivalent scale of released public Android application tools or frameworks. To address this issue, we are presenting the Scalable Tailored Application Analysis Framework (STAAF), released as a new OWASP project for public use under Apache License 2.0. The goal of this framework is to allow a team of one or more analysts to efficiently analyze a large number of Android applications. In addition to large scale analysis, the framework aims to promote collaborative analysis through shared processing and results.
Our framework is designed using a modular and distributed approach, which allows each processing node to be highly tailored for a particular task. At the heart of the framework is the Resource Manager (RM) module, which is responsible for tracking samples, managing analysis modules, and storing results. The RM also serves to reduce processing time and data management through the deduplication of data and work, and it also aids with the scheduling of tasks so that they can be completed as a pipeline or as a single unit. When processing begins, the RM uses several default "primitive" modules that carry out the fundamental operations, such as extracting the manifest, transforming the Dalvik bytecode, and extracting application resources. The analysis modules then use the raw results to extract specific attributes such as permissions, receivers, invoked methods, external resources accessed, control flow graphs, etc., and these results are then stored in a distributed data store, after which the information can be queried for high level trends or targeted searches.
The modular nature of our framework allows independent analyses to happen on a per module basis, and the results of this data processing can be merged with other results at a later time. This design promotes an agile approach to large scale analysis, because it permits a wide array of analysis to happen distributively and in parallel. This means that teams with different needs or schedules can complete time-sensitive tasks separately with minimized data processing pipelines, while allowing more complex or time intensive tasks to be added later. Additionally, if analysis needs to be branched at some point in the pipeline, intermediate results can be retained and additional modules can be added leveraging the results from the past analysis steps. The results are also stored in a distributed database and designed to be queried using a map-reduce style query, which offers performance efficiencies as well as allowing the transparent inclusion of remote third party analysis databases. By using this plug-in style analysis framework, we are able to attain more efficient processing schedules and tailor the analysis for a specific need.
This framework is designed to be scalable and extensible, and the initial offering of this framework includes several modules...

Detecting Threats: A Look at the Verizon DBIR and StealthWatchLancope, Inc.
A common theme in data breach investigations is the deficit between the time it takes an attacker to compromise a system and the time it takes for the defender to detect the attack. In many cases, victim organizations do not know they have been breached for weeks or months after the initial compromise, while attackers can gain access in a matter of minutes or hours.
The StealthWatch® System can drastically reduce the time to identify threats, giving security personnel a window of opportunity to mitigate an attack before valuable data is lost. This webinar will cover how StealthWatch quickly detects a variety of malicious activity, using threat information from the Verizon 2015 Data Breach Investigations Report as a backdrop.
Participants will learn how StealthWatch can quickly detect:
- Crimeware
- Insider threats
- Point-of-sale (POS) intrusions
- Cyber-espionage
VIPER Labs - VOIP Security - SANS SummitShah Sheikh
The document discusses penetration testing of VoIP networks. It describes a VoIP security research lab that investigates attack vectors against VoIP systems. When conducting internal VoIP assessments, the objectives are to understand the call requirements, VLAN configuration, and gain access to the voice VLAN to test for vulnerabilities. Sniffing tools can reveal the voice VLAN ID and credentials. VLAN hopping poses a risk if an attacker can access the voice VLAN from their PC. A case study found an attacker was able to hop VLANs in a hotel network and potentially monitor other guests' phone calls due to poor network segmentation. Proper firewalling of voice networks and limiting remote access to voice VLANs are important lessons learned.

Threat Analysis on Win10 IoT Core and Recommaended Security Measures by Naohi...CODE BLUE
Windows 10 IoT was released as a platform for IoT.
Windows 10 IoT Core, which is the lightest among Windows 10 IoT, is usable without charge, and can be run on single board computers like Raspberry Pi. So far, Linux-based platforms were considered as the platform for IoT devices, but now there is another option.
We conducted research on security system of Windows 10 IoT Core to judge whether it could be used safely.
We investigated the security design, the security functions, and default services, such as Web, FTP, and SSH, served by this OS. Furthermore, we also analyzed risks of intrusion and malware infection.
As a result of the investigation, like the newest Windows, we found that DEP, ASLR and CFG are also effective as countermeasures for being attacked vulnerabilities that affect the main memory. These countermeasures are not omitted from Windows 10 IoT Core.
On the other hand, we also found some designs and default settings of services and components are insecure.
For example, Windows update is disabled, Windows Firewall is disabled by default settings, Web interface is served on HTTP, and its authentication is basic authentication.
Moreover, we found a problem in the design of the remote debug service. This problem allows an attacker to create any user account and intrude using the web interface or SSH. Therefore, this problem might be abused by worm malware.
Lastly, we will introduce recommended security measures such as disabling unused services, changing settings, enabling the firewall, enabling web interface on HTTPS, etc.
This document discusses securing the IoT supply chain. It notes that IoT devices often contain vulnerabilities due to using common third-party components with known issues. The speaker recommends a three-step process: 1) Secure each software component using static analysis, runtime monitoring, and penetration testing; 2) Verify secure composition of components; and 3) Obtain independent validation of the product through a standards/certification program. Automatic tools are key to scaling security practices. The speaker emphasizes that software often contains vulnerabilities and there are no single solutions, so a holistic approach is needed.

Putting MITRE ATT&CK into Action with What You Have, Where You AreKatie Nickels
This document provides an overview of Katie Nickels' presentation on putting MITRE ATT&CK into action using available resources. Some key points include:
- MITRE ATT&CK is a knowledge base of adversary tactics and techniques based on real-world observations.
- It can be used for detection, assessment, threat intelligence, and adversary emulation.
- For detection, ATT&CK can help improve focus on post-exploit activity and track gaps/improvements in coverage over time. Existing data sources can be leveraged to detect techniques.
- For assessment and engineering, ATT&CK can guide decisions around tool selection and help identify visibility and risk acceptance gaps.
Every IR presents unique challenges. But - when an attacker uses PowerShell, WMI, Kerberos attacks, novel persistence mechanisms, seemingly unlimited C2 infrastructure and half-a-dozen rapidly-evolving malware families across a 100k node network to compromise the environment at a rate of 10 systems per day - the cumulative challenges can become overwhelming. This talk will showcase the obstacles overcome during one of the largest and most advanced breaches Mandiant has ever responded to, the novel investigative techniques employed, and the lessons learned that allowed us to help remediate it.

Through the Eyes of the Attacker: Designing Embedded Systems Exploits for Industrial Control Systems
In 2017 a malware framework dubbed TRITON (also referred to as TRISIS or HatMan) was discovered targeting a petrochemical plant in Saudi Arabia. TRITON was designed to compromise the Schneider Electric Triconex line of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS), potentially in order to cause physical damage. TRITON is the most complex publicly known ICS attack framework to date and the first publicly known one to target safety controllers. While the functionality of the malware is understood, little is known about the complexity of developing such an implant. The goal of this talk is to provide the audience with a “through the eyes of the attacker” experience in designing advanced embedded systems exploits & implants for Industrial Control Systems (ICS). Attendees will learn about the background of the TRITON incident, the process of reverse-engineering and exploiting ICS devices and developing implants and OT payloads as part of a cyber-physical attack and will be provided with details on real-world ICS vulnerabilities and implant strategies.
In the first part of the talk we will provide an introduction to ICS attacks in general and the TRITON incident in particular. We will outline the danger of TRITON being repurposed by copycats and estimate the complexity and development cost of such offensive ICS capabilities.
In the second and third parts of the talk we will discuss the process of exploiting ICS devices to achieve code execution and developing ICS implants and OT payloads. We will discuss real-world ICS vulnerabilities and present several implant scenarios such as arbitrary code execution backdoors (as used in TRITON), pin configuration attacks, protocol handler hooking to spoof monitored signal values, suppressing interrupts & alarm functionality, preventing implant removal and control logic restoration and achieving cross-boot persistence. We will discuss several possible OT payload scenarios and how these could be implemented on ICS devices such as the Triconex safety controllers.
In the final part of the talk we'll wrap up our assessment of the complexity & cost of developing offensive ICS capabilities such as the TRITON attack and offer recommendations to defenders and ICS vendors.
Web Services Presentation - Introduction, Vulnerabilities, & CountermeasuresPraetorian
The concept of web services has become ubiquitous over the last few years. Frameworks are now available across many platforms and languages to greatly ease and expedite the development of web services, often with a vast amount of existing code reuse. Software companies are taking advantage of this by integrating this technology into their products giving increased power and interoperability to their customers. However, the power web services enables also introduces new risks to an environment. As with web applications, development has outpaced the understanding and mitigation of vulnerabilities that arise from this emerging technology. This presentation will first aim to identify the risks associated with web services. We will describe the existing security standards and technologies which target web services (i.e., WS-Security) including its history, pros and cons, and current status. Finally we will attempt to extrapolate the future of this space to determine what changes must be made going forward.
Praetorian's goal is to help our clients understand minimize their overall security exposure and liability. Through our services, your organization can obtain an accurate, independent security assessment.

Through the Eyes of the Attacker: Designing Embedded Systems Exploits for Industrial Control Systems
In 2017 a malware framework dubbed TRITON (also referred to as TRISIS or HatMan) was discovered targeting a petrochemical plant in Saudi Arabia. TRITON was designed to compromise the Schneider Electric Triconex line of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS), potentially in order to cause physical damage. TRITON is the most complex publicly known ICS attack framework to date and the first publicly known one to target safety controllers. While the functionality of the malware is understood, little is known about the complexity of developing such an implant. The goal of this talk is to provide the audience with a “through the eyes of the attacker” experience in designing advanced embedded systems exploits & implants for Industrial Control Systems (ICS). Attendees will learn about the background of the TRITON incident, the process of reverse-engineering and exploiting ICS devices and developing implants and OT payloads as part of a cyber-physical attack and will be provided with details on real-world ICS vulnerabilities and implant strategies.
In the first part of the talk we will provide an introduction to ICS attacks in general and the TRITON incident in particular. We will outline the danger of TRITON being repurposed by copycats and estimate the complexity and development cost of such offensive ICS capabilities.
In the second and third parts of the talk we will discuss the process of exploiting ICS devices to achieve code execution and developing ICS implants and OT payloads. We will discuss real-world ICS vulnerabilities and present several implant scenarios such as arbitrary code execution backdoors (as used in TRITON), pin configuration attacks, protocol handler hooking to spoof monitored signal values, suppressing interrupts & alarm functionality, preventing implant removal and control logic restoration and achieving cross-boot persistence. We will discuss several possible OT payload scenarios and how these could be implemented on ICS devices such as the Triconex safety controllers.
In the final part of the talk we'll wrap up our assessment of the complexity & cost of developing offensive ICS capabilities such as the TRITON attack and offer recommendations to defenders and ICS vendors.
Web Services Presentation - Introduction, Vulnerabilities, & CountermeasuresPraetorian
The concept of web services has become ubiquitous over the last few years. Frameworks are now available across many platforms and languages to greatly ease and expedite the development of web services, often with a vast amount of existing code reuse. Software companies are taking advantage of this by integrating this technology into their products giving increased power and interoperability to their customers. However, the power web services enables also introduces new risks to an environment. As with web applications, development has outpaced the understanding and mitigation of vulnerabilities that arise from this emerging technology. This presentation will first aim to identify the risks associated with web services. We will describe the existing security standards and technologies which target web services (i.e., WS-Security) including its history, pros and cons, and current status. Finally we will attempt to extrapolate the future of this space to determine what changes must be made going forward.
Praetorian's goal is to help our clients understand minimize their overall security exposure and liability. Through our services, your organization can obtain an accurate, independent security assessment.
An introductory session about Social Engineering presented at ICT Nuggets Forum - Khartoum, organized by Duko team. We talked about what is social engineering? terms related to it? and how attacks can bee carried. We also told a lot of stories about successful social engineering attacks and how much damage they did. Finally we talked about how to protect yourself and your company social engineering attacks.
The document discusses techniques for reverse engineering obfuscated malicious JavaScript code. It begins by explaining that attackers obfuscate exploits to avoid detection. It then covers different approaches for decoding obfuscated JavaScript, including using tools like NJS to run the code outside a browser. An iterative process of running samples through these tools and decoding layers is demonstrated. The goal is to defeat obfuscation techniques and understand the underlying malicious behavior.
Social engineering-Attack of the Human BehaviorJames Krusic
Social engineering exploits human behavior and trust to gain access to sensitive information. It includes technical attacks like phishing emails and pop-up windows, as well as non-technical attacks like dumpster diving. Common human behaviors exploited include curiosity, fear, and thoughtlessness. To help mitigate social engineering risks, organizations should educate employees, implement security policies, conduct audits, and use technical defenses like email filters and firewalls. Regular awareness training can help motivate employees to follow best practices.
Social engineering is the use of deception to manipulate people into divulging confidential information. It relies on human tendencies to trust others and takes advantage of "the weak link" in security - users. There are two categories of social engineering attacks: technology-based approaches that deceive users into thinking they are interacting with real systems, and non-technical approaches using deception alone. Common tactics include phishing emails, phone calls (vishing), pretending to be technical support, and observing users (shoulder surfing). Organizations can help prevent social engineering by having security policies, training employees, and monitoring compliance.
Social Engineering - Strategy, Tactics, & Case StudiesPraetorian
For many organizations, the human element is often the most overlooked attack vector. Ironically, people are typically one of the easiest vulnerabilities to exploit and an attacker needs little more than a smile or email to completely compromise a company. With targeted attacks on the rise, organizations must understand the risk of social engineering based attacks. The purpose of this presentation is to examine common physical, phone, and Internet based attacks. Real world case studies are included and recommendations are provided that will help mitigate this growing threat.

Reverse engineering is the process of systematically evaluating a product to replicate or redesign it. It is an important step in product development that allows optimization of resources and reduction in development time and costs. The reverse engineering process involves digitizing an existing object through scanning or other methods, processing the captured data to create a CAD model, and then using that model to develop prototypes or redesign parts as needed. It has various applications in fields like manufacturing, software, chemicals, entertainment, and medicine. A case study described how reverse engineering and rapid prototyping were used together to redesign turbine blades by capturing high-quality surface data and iteratively digitizing to create accurate CAD models.

7 Reasons Your Applications are Attractive to AdversariesDerek E. Weeks
Presentation from 18 November 2014.
Software applications need to be delivered faster and across more platforms than ever. To build high quality software in short order, we’ve seen a dramatic shift from source code to component-based development, with open source and third party components providing the innovation and efficiency that developers need.
Unfortunately, our dependence on components is growing faster than our ability to secure them. These shared components are not top-of-mind when considering application risk. Worse yet, components are increasingly the preferred attack surface in today’s applications.
The combination of growing component usage, coupled with lack of security, requires us to urgently re-evaluate traditional application security approaches and identify practical next steps for closing this security gap.
So what’s the “neglected 90%,” why is it attractive to your adversaries and what can you do about it? Plenty. Here are 7 key points, for starters.
