Don't Drop the SOAP: Real World Web Service Testing for Web Hackers Tom Eston
Over the years web services have become an integral part of web and mobile applications. From critical business applications like SAP to mobile applications used by millions, web services are becoming more of an attack vector than ever before. Unfortunately, penetration testers haven't kept up with the popularity of web services, recent advancements in web service technology, testing methodologies and tools. In fact, most of the methodologies and tools currently available either don't work properly, are poorly designed or don't fully test for real world web service vulnerabilities. In addition, environments for testing web service tools and attack techniques have been limited to home grown solutions or worse yet, production environments.
In this presentation Tom, Josh and Kevin will discuss the new security issues with web services and release an updated web service testing methodology that will be integrated into the OWASP testing guide, new Metasploit modules and exploits for attacking web services and a open source vulnerable web service for the Samurai-WTF (Web Testing Framework) that can be used by penetration testers to test web service attack tools and techniques.

Hacking browser components by Reverse Engineering is emerging as the best way for discovering
potential vulnerabilities across web applications in an era of Rich Internet Applications (RIA). The RIA
space is flooded with technologies like HTML 5, Flex/Flash, Silverlight, extended DOM and numerous
third party libraries. Browsers are the target of hackers, worms and malware with specific scope, almost
on a daily basis. We have seen exploitation of these technologies on popular sites like Facebook, Twitter,
Yahoo, Google, to name a few. The traditional boundaries of web applications are disappearing.
Browsers today host a substantial part of web applications including data access, business logic,

When companies endeavor to move their applications and services to the cloud, they tend to worry more about security up front. Interestingly, platforms such as Azure provide an even more secure environment than most self-managed co-location facilities can hope to offer, not to mention the plethora of features on the platform that help you secure your solutions end to end. In this session Michele will review the mini-avalanche that comprises Azure security across features. Taking the architect's view of the platform (with demos) she’ll cover best practices for securing Azure solutions end to end and discuss the tangential benefits of moving to Azure and how it can help you with checking the boxes on those pesky security surveys.
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!

Founded in 1991, Pretzelmaker has been offering a variety of pretzel products baked fresh, twisted and baked in our stores right in front of the customer's eyes. Our pretzel products offer a great-tasting, low calorie, portable and convenient snack. As the second largest soft pretzel concept in the United States, we have over 330 stores located in 33 states domestically as well as over 50 international stores in Canada and Guam.
Pretzelmaker's commitment to fresh quality products and innovative new menu items, make it a leader in the soft pretzel category. We were the first to introduce Pretzel Bites, pretzels in a new smaller, bite-sized and even more portable form and later the Pretzel Dog and Mini Pretzel Dogs. We also offer refreshing lemonade in a variety of flavors and a delicious line of blended drinks.
The soft pretzel industry is growing quickly as customers realize what convenient and low-calorie snacks pretzels are. The pretzel industry naturally capitalizes on the trend sweeping the nation for increased focus on fresh preparation and healthier alternatives. However, it is crucial that pretzel franchises stay hip to certain trends in order to stay relevant in this highly competitive market.
There is nothing quite like a hot freshly-made pretzel with salt. Customers can only eat so many pretzels per day or week, however, so it is important to offer some variety in order to keep customers coming back day after day. Pretzelmaker offers a small but encompassing menu that is sure to delight guests while maintaining the core concepts of convenience and freshness.
Pretzelmaker has built the pretzel business beyond "just the pretzel concept in the mall," into a brand with strong positioning, a product innovation focus and a compelling look and feel.

API Design Methodology - Mike Amundsen, Director of API Architecture, API Aca...CA API Management
At some point, we all need to design and implement APIs for the Web. What makes Web APIs different than typical component APIs? How can you leverage the power of the Internet when creating your Web API? What characteristics to many "great" Web APIs share? Is there a consistent process you can use to make sure you design a Web API that best fits your needs both now and in the future?
In this session Mike Amundsen describes a clear methodology for designing Web APIs (based on the book "RESTful Web APIs" by Richardson and Amundsen) that allows you to map key aspects of your business into a usable, scalable, and flexible interface that will reach your goals while creating a compelling API for both server and client developers. Whether you are looking to implement a private, partner, or public API, these principles will help you focus on the right metrics and design goals to create a successful API.
Liberating the API Economy with Scale-Free Networks - Mike Amundsen, Director...CA API Management
Liberating the API Economy with Scale-Free Networks
The Web exhibits a feature found in many complex systems known as "Scale-Free" or "Power-Law" networks, sometimes called the "long tail" Most people think of the "long tail" as an economic and/or social property. However, it also represents physical and informational properties fundamental to the way the Web works. But the steady increase in major service outages indicate that many current Web APIs, services, and even client applications ignore this basic "law of the Web."
This talk explores the "Scale-Free" rule of complex systems and offers clear and simple advice to those planning to build and/or consume APIs for the Web. Such as what to avoid, what to plan for, what to build, and how to identify & steer clear of clients and services that fail to abide by the rules and, in the process, are making it harder for all of us to liberate the API Economy.

Revisiting Geddes' Outlook Tower - Mike Amundsen, Director of API Architectur...CA API Management
The Information Age, 100 years on
The rise of the computer and the digital revolution is responsible for an explosion of devices, data, and connectedness. These are all enabling what is called the dawning of the Information Age. And software designers, developers, and architects all share an important responsibility for shaping and guiding the world’s progress through this axial age into the future.
However, more than 100 years ago, the work of organizing the world’s information into a single all-encompassing taxonomy had already begun. Partially influenced by the positivist doctrine of Auguste Comte, leading thinkers of the early 20th century such as the librarian Paul Otlet in Belgium, museum curator Patrick Geddes in Scotland, and educator Melvil Dewey in the US were each working to design universal classification systems that would encompass and coordinate the explosion of information appearing in libraries, museums, newspapers, magazines, and eventually even radio, movies, and television.
What did we learn in the last century? What have we forgotten? How does their work affect our current trajectory in transforming the work of software and systems design and development? What can we take from Dewey, Otlet, and Geddes with us in to the next 100 years of the Information Age.
Managing Identity by Giving Up Control - Scott Morrison, SVP & Distinguished ...CA API Management
Identity on the Internet is changing. Social networking has kicked off a massive change in how we integrate identity across applications. This is much more than a simple redesign of security tokens and protocols; instead it is a radical redistribution of power and control over entitlements, shifting it away from the centralized control of a cabal of directory engineers and out to the users themselves.
There are compelling reasons for this shift: it enables scaling of identity administration, and it promotes rapid and agile integration of applications. These are goals shared by the enterprise, but this change has significant implications on infrastructure, people and process. Join us to learn how you can bring modern identity management into the enterprise.
Moving beyond conventional single sign-on to seamless cross-device access with APIs

Meanwhile, multitasking has gone into overdrive, as users quickly move from laptop to phone to tablet, expecting a seamless experience when accessing their favorite apps. And this expectation is not just limited to leisure and personal use – it extends to business applications.
Security has broken this seamless workflow and inhibited the mobile “stickiness” businesses are striving to achieve. This webinar with Scott Morrison and Leif Bildoy of CA Technologies will demonstrate how the right combination of identity functionality and secure APIs can help your organization to overcome these challenges and enable the multi-device universe.
You Will Learn
• What challenges must be overcome when supporting multiple mobile app types
• How SSO is evolving past mobile app access to device access
• Why the right implementation of identity and APIs will create consumer stickiness

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

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.
Presentation Layer: The presentation layer provides meaning to Web Services in many different ways. This meaning can be portrayed to an APPLICATION as an XML message/document. It can be presented to a human being in the form of a rich internet application (AJAX, Portal) or though many other presentation technologies available. The bottom line is that Web Services are designed for machine to machine communication but human interfaces are being used and as such you must understand these ramifications. Security Layer: Web Services Security is an important part of the web services stack although web service security is only a single component of enabling adequate web services security. Essentially WS Security provides security to information portrayed within the XML data structure Discovery: UDDI is a currently accepted method to publish and find web services. WSDL contains information about web services (Location, Description) and is commonly referred to within a UDDI. Access Layer: Common structure for accessing web services. (Described within WSDL, and universally accepted) Transport Layer: Common web transports relied on by web services (HTTP/HTTPS and JMS are described within WSDL although no one standard exists for JMS).
The diagram above depicts the Server Side architecture generally found in a Web Services Provider. The incoming transactions in this case are SOAP over some transport protocol. Its important to mention that the application server can have plug-ins where these plug-ins communicate with one or more internal or external resources. These resources can be Web Services and result in the plug-in being a consumer or the resource can be a SQL data source, or some non-web service oriented information repository.
Design-time and Run-time are differentiated by the requirement of finding services. In a design time operation an application developer will find the services that she was like to use through UDDI or some other mechanism. Once found the developer will consume the WSDL for the service to create a binding between their developed application and the web service. Run-time operations will commence and be entirely based on SOAP. In some cases clients will still interact with UDDI/WSDL to verify some information about the service. For example the UDDI/WSDL could be queried to determine if the service location has changed. Run-time hacking is where this presentation will primarily focus although development time resources like UDDI and WSDL will be necessary tools of the trade.
One common way of leveraging services is through a portal interface. The portal is responsible for creating the human presentation layer for a Service Oriented Architecture or one or more web services. Humans interact with the Portal Server using a browser client and the portal interacts with Web Services on their behalf. In some cases the web services interact further with back-end resources.
I’ve broken down web service threats into the following 4 basic bins for better understanding. The bins are basically based on the threat framework proposed by Shreeraj Shaw in the book titled “Hacking Web Services”. Transport: Transport layer threats involve the confidentiality and integrity of the data as well as concerns associated with erroneous routing and replay attacks. Denial of service is always an issue at the transport layer is no different when using web services. Parsing: Essentially this layer of threats is based on the idea of overwhelming the underlying XML parser. This is by far the easiest form of attack on XML application and has resulted in security vendors offering XDOS offerings to their products. Question: have you even opened a large recursive XML document in IE. If so you know that it essentially brings your machine to a stand still. Deployment: This is a really interesting area as it is greatly misunderstood. Web Services and their respective type of technology do many things automatically and are unknown to the application develop. For example many application servers will automatically return verbose error messages to clients as well as host WSDL documents describing their corresponding services for everyone to see. Openly available service descriptions, verbose error messages (potentially from the backend itself) and automated deployment are responsible for a majority of the threats associated with Web Services.
