In 2011, Imperva witnessed an assault by the hacktivist group, Anonymous, which included the use of social media for communications and, most importantly, their attack methods. Since Anonymous’ targets vary, it is important for security professionals to learn how to prepare their organization for a potential attack. These presentation slides will walk-through the key stages of an Anonymous attack campaign, including recruitment and communication, application attack methods, and mitigation strategies.

Autonomous Hacking: The New Frontiers of Attack and DefensePriyanka Aash
Vulnerability analysis has largely been a process that requires substantial human expertise. However, very recently there has been a push for completely autonomous hacking systems, which can find flaws, exploit them and even provide patches, all without any human intervention. This talk presents recent advances in autonomous hacking and provides lessons learned from participating in the DARPA CGC.

DevOps puts an intense focus on automation – taking humans out of the loop whenever possible to allow frequent, incremental updates to production systems. However, thorough application testing often has multiple components – much of this can be automated, but manual testing is also required. This is inconvenient and not “DevOps-y,” but is unfortunately an unavoidable requirement in the real world. In addition, managing these multiple sources of application vulnerability intelligence often requires manual interaction – to clear false positives, de-duplicate repeated results, and make decisions about triage and remediation.
Axway has rolled out an application security program that incorporates automated static and dynamic testing, attack surface analysis, component analysis, as well as inputs from 3rd parties including manual penetration testing, automated and manual dynamic testing, automated and manual static testing, and test results from vendors providing test data on their products. Automation has allowed Axway to increase the frequency of web application testing, thus reducing the cycle time in the application vulnerability “OODA loop.” Moving beyond the identification of vulnerabilities, Axway has deployed ThreadFix to automatically aggregate the results of the automated testing and de-duplicate findings. 3rd party penetration testers are also finding vulnerabilities and reporting them in reasonably structured CSV files requiring Axway to convert this manual test data and incorporate it into the aggregated vulnerability model in ThreadFix. Centralizing this pipeline allows for metric tracking – both for the application security program as a whole as well as on a per-vulnerability-source basis. This automation and consolidation now covers 50% of Axway’s application vulnerability review process - with plans to extend further.
This presentation walks through Axway’s construction of their application security-testing pipeline and the decisions they were forced to make along the way to best maximize the use of automation while accommodating the reality of manual testing requirements. It then looks at how this testing regimen and the associated automation have allowed them to impact deployment practices as well as collect metrics on their assurance program. Finally, it looks at lessons learned along the way – the good and the bad – and identifies targeted next steps Axway plans to take to increase the depth and frequency of application security testing while dealing with the deployment realities placed on them to remain agile and responsive to business requirements.
Fuzzing 101 Webinar on Zero Day ManagementCodenomicon
In this webinar, we explore the process of zero-day vulnerability management from initial threat analysis to automated detection and remediation. We will demonstrate how easy it is to detect attack vectors and to quickly assess the reliability and security of those interfaces using general purpose fuzzing solutions. We will also show you how you can complement these solutions with known vulnerability data and do patch verification easily and cost-effectively. Finally, we will discuss how you can tailor your defenses to block zero day attacks, which is a key aspect of vulnerability management.
You’ve seen the headlines—"[Well-Known Company] Falls Victim To Hackers".
These data breaches result in the theft of millions of names, passwords, credit card numbers, and other personal data. Imagine if such a breach lead to the theft of your application's data. . .
If multi-national companies with dedicated security teams and expansive budgets aren’t immune to the impact of hackers, how can you adequately prepare yourself to defeat this threat?
This presentation will explore the web application threat landscape. It will zero in on some of the most common attacks wreaking havoc on the internet, teaching you how to defend your online assets from them.
This presentation will discuss:
• The major security breaches of 2014
• Web application threats and common attack types
• How to defend against today’s common attacks
• Automated tools to help simplify website security
This talk will include an overview and demo of the Open Threat Exchange (OTX) and describe some of its information sources, including anonymous sharing from Open Source Security Information Management (OSSIM.) Jaime will share some of his experiences using OTX as a security researcher. He will also provide his thoughts on how OWASP members can benefit from security research and threat intelligence to "build in" security rather than constantly reacting.
Denial of service (DoS) attacks continue to move up the stack from the network to the application level. Since many anti-DoS solutions focus on the lower layers, hackers are targeting specific Web servers, such as IIS or Apache, or applications, such as SharePoint, in order to reduce the likelihood of attack detection. This presentation highlights the latest trends, techniques, and technologies deployed by hackers and provides security professionals with specific steps to mitigate this threat.
Automated Hacking Tools - Meet the New Rock Stars in the Cyber UndergroundImperva
Research attributes nearly half of a typical website’s traffic to automated bots. This puts the odds of falling victim to a cyber attack at 100%. Automation tools, such as SQLMap and Havij, open new avenues for amateur and professional hackers to evade security defenses. How will your team prepare for, and stop, malicious, automated site traffic and defend against zero-day attacks? This presentation highlights observed trends in the automation of SQLi and RFI attacks, reveals the warning signs of an automated attack, and suggests identification methods and proven countermeasures to stop attacks.
Assessing the Effectiveness of Antivirus SolutionsImperva
How well do antivirus solutions defend against newly created viruses? The answer may surprise you. This presentation will evaluate the ability of antivirus solutions to react to newly created viruses, explore the window of opportunity created before antivirus solutions begin to detect new viruses, illustrate how targeted malware of limited distribution can elude detection for months or years, explain how misguided compliance mandates create over-investment in antivirus solutions within security budgets.
Looking at the security landscape for 2013, we predict that previous security investments made by larger, well-funded organizations will serve as a partial deterrent to hackers. However, those same hackers, armed with sophisticated malware and cloaked in a dangerous anonymity provided by the Cloud, will turn their collective eyes to a new, more vulnerable target: small companies. This presentation reveals the four super-sized security trends that will impact business security practices across the globe in 2013.
Peter Wood has worked as an ethical hacker for the past 20 years, with clients in sectors as diverse as banking, insurance, retail and manufacturing. He will describe how advanced persistent threats operate from a security intelligence perspective, based on published case studies and analysis. He will highlight APT entry points and exploitation techniques and suggest practical prevention and detection strategies.
The State of Application Security: What Hackers BreakImperva
Companies of all sizes face a universal security threat from today's organized hacking industry. Why? Hackers are decreasing costs and expanding their reach with tools and technologies that allow for automated attacks against Web applications. The hacker’s arsenal includes armies of zombies (i.e. global networks of compromised computers) that access large amounts of personal and corporate data that can be sold on the black market.
As part of Imperva's ongoing Hacker Intelligence Initiative, we monitored and categorized individual attacks across the Internet over a period of six months. This webinar will detail the results of this research, which encompasses attacks witnessed via onion router (TOR) traffic as well as attacks targeting 30 different enterprise and government Web applications. The research includes:
• Insight into how automation allows hackers to generate 7 attacks per second
• Overview of the top vulnerabilities exploited by hackers: directory traversal, cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, and remote file inclusion (RFI)
• Detail into which countries generate the most malicious activity
• Recommendations, both technical and nontechnical, for security teams and executive

The 2013 Security Threat Report recaps what happened in data security in 2012, and what trends are ahead in 2013. For more information, visit: http://bit.ly/VcLfLa
For over two decades, working as an cybersecurity entrepreneur, researcher and instructor, I have heard over and over again that attacks and defense are two sides of the same coin. But what does it really mean in application? What happens when sophisticated attacks collide with sophisticated defenses? Who wins?
This is talk is aimed at a wide audience in cybersecurity – from the strategists to the practitioners. We will discuss Evolution, Attacks, Defense and PEBKAC. What factors shall affect the posture of trustworthiness and safety in the digital world in the next two years to come depend largely on the road we have followed over the past two decades. This talk looks above and beyond, albeit optimistically, about realigning some of the conventional approaches, slowly but strategically shifting mindsets of stakeholders and consumers alike, to bring about a more proactive approach to security.
In December 2012, Yahoo! Inc. suffered a high profile data breach at the hands of a lone hacker. Using SQL injection attacks, the hacker gained full access for the server of the affected domain. Alarmingly, the exploited vulnerability likely belonged to a third party application that was neither coded nor hosted by Yahoo!. Yahoo! was responsible for the third party application's security, yet it only had limited control of the code. This presentation will analyze the tools and methodology employed by the attacker to bypass security, explore the dangers of hosting third party code inherited from partners, vendors, or via acquisitions, and provide procedural and technical steps for securing third party code.

Making Sense of Web Attacks: From Alerts to NarrativesImperva
Co-Founder & CTO of Imperva, Amichai Shulman, discusses how recognizing the security narrative in your web-application is a big challenge. On the one hand security products are getting more sensitive and are detecting even minor anomalies in incoming web traffic, while on the other hand attacks are becoming more automated and traffic intensive. As a result, security operators find themselves sifting through hundreds of thousands of individual alert messages per day, striving to know what the “#@$%” is going on. These slides present our innovative system that groups individual alerts from a web application firewall into attack narratives. They also present real-world cases and show results.

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.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
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.

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).

Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
