The document discusses Web Services and how they can be applied to devices using the Device Profile for Web Services. It describes how WS specifications can be scaled down to work on limited resource devices. The Device Profile defines a lightweight subset of WS specs for device communication and includes security, discovery, and other protocols. Microsoft's implementations in Windows Vista and .NET support these standards for printer, scanner, and other device integration.
DNS security is important. But, in today’s world of dynamic cloud environments (AWS and Azure), content delivery networks (CDNs) and crowdsourced content and advertisements, looking only at the domain name is not a complete indicator of security. “Grey” domains are no longer the exception, they have become the norm. Join this webcast to explore the risks of relying on DNS-only based solutions and ways to add security to your DNS traffic without sacrificing performance or additional security insights.

You know the ins and outs of pivoting through your client’s or your employer’s domains. You know where to find those unprotected creds that unlock the mysteries of the LAN. You know which hashes grant DA and root to the infrastructure. All the bases belong to you, but do you know how to follow once the path leads into the clouds? As more and more companies move part or all of their operations into the cloud, penetration testers need to think beyond the traditional network boundaries and follow the data and services they are after.
The intent of this talk is to provide penetration testers as well as defenders a foundation on cloud services from an attacker’s point of view. This talk is cloud-agnostic and focuses on the general topics and attack patterns necessary to assess cloud-based services rather than specific implementations or vulnerabilities.
Do you know the differences between IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS and which vulnerabilities are applicable to each?
Am I even allowed to assess my company’s cloud resources?
Do you know what credentials you need to move from the corporate network into cloud based services? Do you know where to find them?
What dependencies can you compromise to complete your objectives?
What kinds of recommendations can I make to improve the security of my client’s cloud deployments?
Companies trust key portions of their operations, services, and data to public and private clouds and unless their internal and third-party testers must assess these deployments.

HTTP/2 is here. It improves the way browsers and servers communicate, allowing for faster transfer of information. Today’s websites use many different components besides standard HTML, including design elements, client-side scripting, images, video, and flash animations. To transfer that information, a browser has to create several connections, putting a huge load on both the server delivering the content and the browser, which can lead to a slowdown as more and more elements are added to a site.

TECHNICAL WHITE PAPER: The Continued rise of DDoS AttacksSymantec
Denial-of-service attacks—short but strong
DDoS amplification attacks continue to increase as attackers experiment with new protocols.
Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, as the name implies, attempt to deny a service to legitimate users by overwhelming the target with activity. The most common method is a network traffic flood DDoS attack against Web servers, where distributed means that multiple sources attack the same target at the same time. These attacks are often conducted through botnets.
Such DDoS attacks have grown larger year over year. In 2013, the largest attack volume peaked at 300 Gbps. So far in 2014, we have already seen one attack with up to 400 Gbps in attack volume. In recent times, DDoS attacks have become shorter in duration, often lasting only a few hours or even just minutes. According to Akamai, the average attack lasts 17 hours. These burst attacks can be devastating nonetheless, as most companies are affected by even a few hours of downtime and many business are not prepared. In addition to the reduced duration, the attacks are getting more sophisticated and varying the methods used, making them harder to mitigate.
In 2014, amplification and reflection attacks were still the most popular choice for the attacker. This method multiplies the attack traffic, making it easier for attackers to reach a high volume of above 100 Gbps even with a small botnet. From January to August 2014, DNS amplification attacks grew by 183 percent. The use of the network time protocol (NTP) amplification method has increased by a factor of 275 from January to July, but is now declining again. The use of compromised, high bandwidth servers with attack scripts has become a noticeable trend.
1086: The SSL Problem and How to Deploy SHA2 Certificates (with Mark Myers)Gabriella Davis
Two years ago enabling your site with SSL was a simple affair, buy a certificate or create your own, install it, then just remember to renew it every couple of years. Then, suddenly security holes are being found in SSL virtually every month , popular browsers stop connecting to your site to protect themselves, and you’re continually being told your users data is at risk. In this session we will discuss how it all went wrong and can go wrong again, then go through each step of requesting, generating and deploying a 4096 SHA-2 certificate to use in a keyfile by Domino, IBM Connections, IBM Sametime and other WebSphere products. If you work with these IBM products and need to secure them with confidence this session will show you how!
Revised Submission to the OMG Security RFP. Covers the plugin architecture and the proposed builtin plugins to provide Authentication, Access Control, Key Management, Confidentiality (Encryption), Message Authentication, and Auditing
Kerberos is a computer network authentication protocol which works on the basis of 'tickets' to allow
nodes communicating over a non-secure network to prove their identity to one another in a secure
manner. Its designers aimed it primarily at a client–server model and it provides mutual
authentication—both the user and the server verify each other's identity. Kerberos protocol messages
are protected against eavesdropping and replay attacks.

The Internet of Cars - Towards the Future of the Connected CarJorgen Thelin
No doubt you have heard the phrase “Internet of Things” and the new buzzword “IoT” been used more and more these days, but what does that mean in practice? The Tesla Model S is probably the most well-connected car on the planet at the moment, and in this presentation we will use that vehicle as a case study of some practical usage of IoT concepts and technology that is already being applied to modern automobiles.How far away are we from a future “Internet of Cars” and what will be the social and privacy impacts of more connected-car scenarios?
Orleans: Cloud Computing for Everyone - SOCC 2011Jorgen Thelin
Orleans is a software framework for building reliable, scalable, and elastic cloud applications. Its programming model encourages the use of simple concurrency patterns that are easy to understand and employ correctly. It is based on distributed actor-like components called grains, which are isolated units of state and computation that communicate through asynchronous messages. Within a grain, promises are the mechanism for managing both asynchronous messages and local task-based concurrency. Isolated state and a constrained execution model allow Orleans to persist, migrate, replicate, and reconcile grain state. In addition, Orleans provides lightweight transactions that support a consistent view of state and provide a foundation for automatic error handling and failure recovery.
We implemented several applications in Orleans, varying from a messaging-intensive social networking application to a data- and compute-intensive linear algebra computation. The programming model is a general one, as Orleans allows the communications to evolve dynamically at runtime. Orleans enables a developer to concentrate on application logic, while the Orleans runtime provides scalability, availability, and reliability.

Zero-Defects Plug and Play -- General Quality Frameworks and Processes for Ac...Jorgen Thelin
This dissertation describes the design of the overall quality framework and processes for use in
ICL's Ashton Manufacturing plant.
It provides a set of generic processes to address the requirement of achieving and maintaining
high levels of delivered product quality in a typical high throughput / high mix computer
manufacturing environment.
These frameworks are suitably general purpose to be applicable to any similar "world class"
manufacturing situation with little alteration.
The dissertation outlines the two elements of manufacturing quality, namely conformance (no
deviations), and removal of infant mortalities.
It shows how Delivered Quality Audits are a key method of assessing the true level of
conformance of products shipped to customers, and also of gauging the customer's opinion of
total perceived quality.
It emphasises the fact the manufacturing must now be regarded as a "knowledge-based"
business, where knowledge retention is key to the on-going success of the operation. This is
particularly true when viewed against the "fundamental economics of manufacturing", namely
the constant need to contain and reduce overhead costs, and which in a climate of recession
almost invariably leads to the departure of the oldest and most experienced staff, with a
consequent loss of their accumulated knowledge and experiences.
The quality processes themselves are shown as interrelated, and unified within a single overall
generic framework. The framework is considered as one of the vehicles for obtaining
"Loose/Tight fit", where best practice techniques can be prescribed and standardised across the
varied product ranges, yet still allowing "customisation" of the generic frameworks to
accommodate the beneficial differences of 'Plants within a Plant'
The key element of Quality Improvement embodied within the framework is shown to be the
generic "corrective action loop", which is capable of handling any of the varied types of
problem likely to be encountered within a manufacturing environment. The success of this
quality improvement system is critically dependant on the involvement of operations staff and
"correction at source".
The other key element is the recognition that quality processes and systems have inherent limits
to their effectiveness. To be able to exceed these limits, a "breakthrough" or "quantum-leap"
change is necessary. While the "breakthrough" activities are being formulated and undertaken
to create wide-ranging beneficial change, it is important to recognised that the "control"
activities of management are vital to prevent unfavourable changes or reversion to the previous
methods occuring.
The final key concept explored is the three dimensions of organisational management
- accountability, responsibility and authority. The importance of organisational design to align
these elements together and match them to the organisational unit boundaries is clear.
Ultimately, organisational structure can have a large influence on the operation and
effectiveness of the overall quality processes.
Identity, Security, and XML Web Services -- The Importance of Interoperable S...Jorgen Thelin
Abstract
The use of security credentials and the concepts of single-sign-on and \"identity\" will play a big
part in Web Service products as the technology matures and developers start writing true enterprise-
grade line-of-business applications. The emerging XML security standards such as SAML
are reviewed, along with the various \"identity\" standards such as Passport and Liberty, to provide
an overview of the evolution of Web Service platform products to support these. This paper
examines just how \"identity aware\" Web Service implementations need to be, and the value a
Web Services platform can add in masking developers from the complexity in this area. Lessons
are drawn from the experience of using EJB security technology for real-world security scenarios.
Identity, Security and XML Web ServicesJorgen Thelin
The use of security credentials and concepts of single-sign-on and “identity” play a big part in Web Services as developers start writing enterprise-grade line-of-business applications. An overview is provided of the emerging XML security credential standards such as SAML, along with various “identity” standards such as Passport and Liberty. We examine how “identity aware” Web Service implementations need to be, and the value a Web Services platform can add in reducing complexity in this area, with lessons drawn from experiences using J2EE technology for real-world security scenarios.
What aspects must a developer be aware of when a Web Services will be run in clustered environment such as a server farm?
Do Web Services implementations need to be \"cluster aware\", or can this be handled transparently by the runtime platform?
We revisit the subject of why keeping Web Services implementations as stateless as possible really helps in these circumstances, and the effect of using session-based facilities on scalability.
The three common software architecture styles commonly used in distributed systems and XML Web Services are compared and contrasted. In particular, the key differences between traditional SOAP and REST styles are explored. Guidelines are presented on which style is most applicable for certain application scenarios, and when a combination of styles is necessary.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
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.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
