Moreover, we also show that our length-exposing attacks can be used to obtain sensitive information from unwitting victims by abusing services on popular websites. We show that attacks can be performed on virtually every web service, even when HTTP/2 is used. In fact, HTTP/2 allows for more damaging attack techniques, further increasing the impact of HEIST.
- Information security is ever evolving, and Android’s security posture is no different.
- This paper describes a web application intended to be used to evaluate the efficiency of Netsparker, Acunetix and Burp Suite web application vulnerability scanners.
- Specifically, one criteria might be sending headers to enable browser protections against common attacks.
- In a 52-person interview study, we asked participants to complete encryption tasks using both a traditional key-exchange model and a key-directory-based registration model.
Moreover, while sending employees fake spear phishing messages from spoofed colleagues and bosses may increase their security awareness, it is also quite likely to have negative consequences in an organization. People’s work effectiveness may decrease, as they will have to be suspicious of practically every message they receive.

Our promising results have shown this approach capable of protecting COTS binaries from control-flow hijack attempts stemming from use-after-free and memory corruption vulnerabilities with acceptable overhead on modern Windows and Linux systems. This talk focuses on the entirety of the mobile ecosystem, from the hardware components to the operating systems owasp top 10 proactive controls to the networks they connect to. We will explore the core components across mobile vendors and operating systems, focusing on bugs, logic, and root problems that potentially effect all mobile devices. We will discuss the limitations of mobile trusted computing and what can be done to protect both your data and the devices your data reside on.
I will then enumerate the attack surface of a device running Windows 10 IoT Core as well as its potential susceptibility to malware. I will also talk about methods to assess the security of devices running Windows 10 IoT Core such as static/dynamic reverse engineering and fuzzing. I will end the talk with some recommendations on how to secure a Windows 10 IoT Core device. In this talk we’ll survey the different vulnerabilities, and deep dive into a couple of those. In particular, we’ll take a close look at a vulnerability appearing in the most popular commercial hooking engine of a large vendor. This vulnerability affects the most widespread productivity applications and forced the vendor to not only fix their engine, but also that their customers fix their applications prior to releasing the patch to the public.
Behind the Scenes of iOS Security
These methods applied on EMET can be applied on other enterprise products and were tested on many during our research. Microsoft Common Object Model is a technology for providing a binary programming interface for Windows programs. Despite its age it still forms the internal foundation of many new Microsoft technologies such as .NET.
One of the key techniques used by exploit-kit to avoid firewall detection is obfuscating malicious JavaScript program. There exists an engine in each exploit kit, aka obfuscator, which transforms the malicious code to obfuscated code. Few researchers have studied obfuscation techniques utilized by exploit kit. Their main focus is on extracting information from the obfuscated page, such as common substring, common pattern, structure of the script and statistics of sensitive function invocation, and generating signatures.
Reporting Cybersecurity Issues to the FDA
This briefing will propose a new way to train a neophyte audience to the basic principles of Computer Security. The training is developed around a role playing game consisting in attacking and defending a building. A debriefing is done after the game to highlight all the similarities between the game and computer security stakes.
Active Directory is leveraged by 95% of the Fortune 1000 companies for its directory, authentication, and management capabilities. This means that both Red and Blue teams need to have a better understanding of Active Directory, it’s security, how it’s attacked, and how best to align defenses. This presentation covers key Active Directory components which are critical for security professionals to know in order to defend AD. Properly securing the enterprise means identifying and leveraging appropriate defensive technologies. The provided information is immediately useful and actionable in order to help organizations better secure their enterprise resources against attackers.

All of these studies are based on the analysis of obfuscated page, but not the obfuscator. One reason is that purchasing an obfuscator utilized by real exploit-kit is extremely expensive in the underground market. However, exploit-kit research can benefit from obfuscators in various aspects. Over the last few years, a worryingly number of attacks against SSL/TLS and other secure channels have been discovered. Fortunately, at least from a defenders perspective, these attacks require an adversary capable of observing or manipulating network traffic.
- Author Jim Bird uses case studies from Etsy, Netflix, and the London Multi-Asset Exchange to illustrate the steps leading organizations have taken to secure their DevOps processes.
- In this session we will explore why certain devices, pieces of software or companies lead us to utter frustration while others consistently delight us and put a smile on our face.
- Adam is a leading expert on threat modeling, and a consultant, expert witness, author and game designer.
- Cyber attackers have had the advantage for decades over defenders but we can and must change this with a more defensible cyberspace.
- AWS management has developed a strategic business plan which includes risk identification and the implementation of controls to mitigate and manage risks.
