Security DevOps - Wie Sie in agilen Projekten trotzdem sicher bleiben // DevO...Christian Schneider
Diese Session zeigt Ihnen, welche Automatisierungsoptionen zur Überwachung bestimmter Sicherheitsaspekte in der agilen Softwareentwicklung bestehen. Ausgehend von dem etablierten DevOps-Konzept, mit dem im Übergang von Entwicklung zu Betrieb Prozesse automatisiert und verzahnt werden, wird mit „Security-DevOps“ dieser Antrieb aufgegriffen und auf die Absicherung von Anwendungen gegen Hackerangriffe übertragen. Durch frühe Rückkopplung sicherheitstechnischer Findings an die Entwicklung im Rahmen der Automatisierung haben Ihre Pentester die Möglichkeit, sich auf die kniffligeren Sicherheitschecks zu konzentrieren – trotz geforderter kurzer Releasezyklen.
This document provides an overview of the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP). It discusses OWASP's mission to improve application security and lists some of its key projects, including the OWASP Top Ten, a list of the most critical web application security flaws. It also summarizes several common security testing techniques like information gathering, authentication testing, session management testing, and input validation testing. Tools are mentioned for each technique.
- Modern web application frameworks have powerful security features built-in like template escaping, database abstraction, session management, and authentication that help prevent vulnerabilities like XSS and SQL injection. These features are standard, well-tested, and usually more robust than custom code.
- Libraries and dependencies make up a large portion of modern applications. It is important to keep dependencies up-to-date with security patches and be careful about dependencies from untrusted sources like some examples on StackOverflow.
- Different security scanners like SAST, DAST, and IAST scan applications in different ways and at different stages, but an important factor is how well they understand the specific programming languages, frameworks, and technologies used in the application being
This document discusses vulnerabilities in application frameworks and the importance of monitoring for vulnerabilities in third party libraries and components. It uses the Equifax breach as an example of how vulnerabilities in the Apache Struts framework were exploited to gain access and steal personal data. The document recommends that software developers and IT security teams regularly check all application components for known vulnerabilities and ensure components and libraries are kept up to date with the latest security patches. It also emphasizes the importance of detection mechanisms to identify suspicious activity resulting from exploited vulnerabilities.

APPSEC CHALLENGES
- Writing Secure Code is not Easy
- Most follows agile development strategies
- Frequent releases and builds
- Any release can introduce or reintroduce vulnerabilities
- Problems by design.
Ex: Session Hijacking, Credential Stuffing
This document summarizes a presentation by Damilola Longe from the OWASP Foundation about web application defenses. It discusses the prevalence of applications in people's lives and security issues developers need to be aware of.

Identifying Web Servers: A First-look Into the Future of Web Server Fingerpri...Jeremiah Grossman
The document discusses techniques for fingerprinting web servers by analyzing differences in their responses to common HTTP requests. It then outlines how this information can be used to identify specific web server software and versions. The document also examines how web server fingerprinting could enable cross-site tracing attacks if certain HTTP request methods like TRACE are enabled.
Static code analysis is a process that analyzes source code without executing it to detect bugs, vulnerabilities, and quality issues. SonarQube is a static analysis tool that can analyze code written in many languages like Java, C#, PHP, and JavaScript. It detects bugs, code smells, and security vulnerabilities. To analyze code with SonarQube, it must first be set up on a server with plugins for the relevant languages and connected to a database. Then source code projects can be analyzed using SonarQube plugins in build tools like Maven and Gradle. SonarQube generates reports on the analysis results.
The document discusses cyber security topics like web security, Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP), SQL injection, Damn Vulnerable Web Application (DVWA), and WebGoat. It provides an overview of these topics, including what ZAP is used for, how to configure it, and how to use its features like intercepting traffic, scanning, and reporting. It also discusses the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) and some of the top 10 vulnerabilities like SQL injection.
The document discusses using the Web Cryptography API in PWAs and SPAs for encrypting data locally in the browser. It notes that while JavaScript cryptography has risks, the Web Crypto API provides features like a secure random number generator and key store, and supports encryption algorithms in modern browsers. However, it relies on the browser implementation and is still subject to issues like timing attacks. An example code demo for the Web Crypto API is provided.
Introduction to Mod security session April 2016Rahul
ModSecurity is a web application firewall that provides real-time monitoring, logging, and access control for web applications. It acts as a layer between users and web servers to check for and block malicious traffic. ModSecurity uses rules to detect attacks like SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and file inclusion attempts. It can be deployed embedded within Apache or as a separate reverse proxy for additional isolation. The OWASP Core Rule Set provides generic protections against common vulnerabilities. ModSecurity transforms requests to detect attacks and has different rule processing modes.

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.
