San Antonio OWASP Chapter: Wednesday, November 13, 2013

Topic: Hybrid Analysis Mapping: Making Security and Development Tools Play Nice Together

Presenters: Dan Cornell and Mac Collins

Date: Wednesday, November 13, 2013

Time: 11:30am-1:00pm

Location: San Antonio Technology Center (Web Room)

Abstract:

Developers want to write code and security testers want to break it and both groups have specialized tools supporting these goals. The problem is – security testers need to know more about application code to do better testing and developers need to be able to quickly address problems found by security testers. This presentation looks at both groups and their respective toolsets and explores ways they can help each other out.

Two different interactions are examined:

• How can knowledge of code make application scanning better?

• How can application scan results be mapped back to specific lines of code?

Using open source examples built on OWASP ZAP, ThreadFix and Eclipse, the presentation walks through the process of seeding web applications scans with knowledge gleaned from code analysis as well as the mapping of dynamic scan results to specific line of code. The end result is a combination of testing and remediation workflows that help both security testers and software developers be more effective. Particular attention is give to Java/JSP applications and Java/Spring applications and how teams using these frameworks can best benefit from these interactions.

Lunch will be provided. Please RSVP: E-mail [email protected] or call (210) 572-4400.

San Antonio OWASP Chapter: Wednesday, June 5th, 2013

Topic: Be Mean to Your Code Using Gauntlt [Slides http://www.slideshare.net/wickett/be-mean-to-your-code-owasp-san-antonio]

Presenter: James Wickett

Date: Wednesday, June 5, 2013

Time: 11:30am-1:00pm

Location: San Antonio Technology Center (Web Room)

Abstract:

"Be Mean to Your Code” is the core concept behind the ruggedization framework called Gauntlt (http://gauntlt.org) which brings the benefits of Behaviour Driven Development to the realms of automated security testing, application hardening and ruggedization. Security testing is often done at a cadence set by the audit team and is often obscured from the development and operations teams. This isn't good and this creates an adversarial relationship between security, dev and ops.

Gauntlt helps security, ops, and development teams work together. Gauntlt is meant to be used by security experts with interest in automation as well as developers with interest in security. It can be used to deliver the results of a security audit or penetration test via failing Gauntlt attacks (tests) which can in turn be added to automated test suites. Developers know they have resolved a particular vulnerability when Gauntlt no longer reports a failure. Gauntlt can also be used in regression tests to detect when a previously resolved vulnerability has been re-introduced.

Traditional approaches to web security can be less effective in cloud environments, due to the highly dynamic nature of cloud infrastructure. Fortunately, infrastructure-driven, continuous testing can overcome many of these challenges. Netflix uses Gauntlt to continuously validate that the security configuration of its cloud deployment and applications remains as expected, even with a rapid rate of change and high degree of self-service.

One of the core contributors of the Gauntlt project, James Wickett will talk about the history of the project, the current features, examples of how to use Gauntlt and the future roadmap of Gauntlt. As part of this talk we will do a demo where we will walk through getting started using pre-built Gauntlt attacks and then move to writing our own Gauntlt attacks. Come find out how to "Be Mean to Your Code" and ruggedize your next project.

Gauntlt is an open source ruggedization framework using cucumber and written in ruby. It has been developed in collaboration with the security engineering teams at Netflix and Twitter. Gauntlt is MIT Licensed and hosted on github at http://github.com/gauntlt/gauntlt.

OWASP Developer Security Training at BSides San Antonio: Saturday May 4th, 2013

Attend BSides San Antonio for three mini-courses for developers wanting to learn about security.

To register:

https://bsidessatx.eventbrite.com/

The event is sold out - looking forward to seeing everyone there on Saturday.

Each mini-course will be around 1.5 hours in length. Attendees will also have full access to the rest of the BSides San Antonio event.

Main BSides San Antonio site:

http://bsidestexas.blogspot.com/p/san-antonio-april-2013.html

Mini-Course 1

Title: Threat Modeling for Developers (10:30am - Noon)

Abstract:

Threat modeling is a valuable technique for identifying potential security issues in complex applications but many development teams have been slow to adopt it because of a perception that it can only be done by security specialists as well as a lack of guidance on how to get the most out of the activity. This mini-course walks through the process of Threat modeling from the perspective of a developer trying to identify issues early in the development process so that problems can be avoided and controls can be put in place with a minimum level of effort. The materials include discussion of where threat modeling is best done during the development lifecycle as well as the process of creating and refining a threat model. This is an interactive experience, with participants working together to walk through the threat modeling process.

Mini-Course 2

Title: Developing Secure Web Applications (1:00pm - 2:30pm)

Abstract:

Web applications are a convenient entry point for attackers because they are often publicly-available and many are built without a focus on security. This mini-course provides a developer-focused introduction to building web applications designed to operate in the face of malicious attackers. It walks through a basic threat model for a web application and uses this threat model as a framework for making good decisions when designing and building applications. The focus of the course is less on enumerating various types of vulnerabilities but rather on design and coding techniques that can be used to help create resilient applications. Some code examples in Java and .NET will be provided, but the techniques can be applied to any web application environment. [It would be beneficial to attend the earlier Threat Modeling session, but not required.]

Mini-Course 3

Title: Developing Secure Mobile Applications (3:00pm - 4:30pm)

Abstract:

Organizations of all sizes are rushing to provide their customers and employees with applications taking advantage of the power of mobile computing. As with many new technologies, these organizations often deploy applications first and come to realize the security implications of these new systems only post-deployment. This mini-course provides a developer-focused introduction to security for mobile applications. It walks through a basic threat model for a mobile application and uses this threat model as a framework for making good decisions when designing and building mobile application systems. Examples are provided for both iOS (iPhone and iPad) and Android platforms but the overall approach can be applied for all mobile applications. [It would be beneficial to attend the earlier Threat Modeling and Web Application sessions, but not required.]

Abstract: As the world of application development continues to change, the security community needs to change with it. With agile development, continuous deployment, the pace of change in IT has only increased. Add in Dev/Ops and the traditional security processes just don’t work. Even if testing windows exist, they are too short for the traditional scanning or manual testing programs. Then, there’s the lack of viable tools to test API’s. What’s a security professional in charge of rolling out an SDLC supposed to do? This talk will cover methods of adapting traditional security practices into a test driven development (TDD) for security and provide practical advice on how to handle short development and promotion cycles with few or no testing windows. A demonstration of a new testing tool will also be part of the presentation.

Topic: Vulnerable Frameworks Yield Vulnerable Apps

Presenter: Javier Castro

Date: Wednesday, April 20, 2011

Time: 11:30am-1:00pm

Location: San Antonio Technology Center (Web Room) 3463 Magic Drive, San Antonio, TX 78229 http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=3463+Magic+Drive,+San+Antonio,+TX+78229

Abstract: Major software vendors such as VMware and SAP are getting significantly better at writing secure software, but all of this effort is lost when they forget to properly configure or secure the frameworks that their software is built upon. This talk gives an overview of several recently discovered vulnerabilities in the products of major software companies. In each case the flaw leads to a complete system compromise and was located in a framework that the product was built upon. We as software developers can learn from these cases and avoid similar scenarios.

Bio: Javier Castro is a senior vulnerability researcher at Digital Defense, Inc. where he writes explicit vulnerability checks, develops proprietary exploits, and researches popular software deployments. As exciting as vulnerability exploitation is, Javier finds it more rewarding to find ways to develop a secure application in the first place.

Abstract: Attack Aware Applications: Imagine being able to detect an attacker in your application while they are searching for vulnerability and then locking out their account before they can do any harm. The OWASP AppSensor project provides a strategy for enabling your applications to detect and respond to attackers in real time. More powerful then generic detection with a WAF, the AppSensor approach allows detection of targeted application attacks attempting to exploit all areas including: business logic, access control, session management, injection attacks and more. This presentation will discuss techniques for implementing such a system within your application using existing technologies or by leveraging ESAPI.

Presenter Bio: Michael Coates has extensive experience in application security, security code review and penetration assessments. He has conducted numerous security assessments for financial, enterprise and cellular customers worldwide. Michael holds a MS in Computer Security from DePaul University and a BS in Computer Science from the University of Illinois.

Abstract: Enterprises are targeting both internal users and customers with smartphone applications for platforms such as Apple iPhone and Google Android. Many of these applications are constructed without fully considering the associated security implications of their deployment. Breaches can impact both users as well as the enterprise distributing the application as attackers take advantage of expanded access to sensitive data and network services. This talk discusses emerging threats associated with deploying smartphone applications and provides an overview of the threat modeling process. The presentation then walks example applications from an attacker’s perspective demonstrating the sort of information they are able to extract allowing for more advanced attacks.

Presenter Bio: Dan Cornell has over ten years of experience architecting and developing web-based software systems. As CTO of Denim Group, he leads the organization’s technology team overseeing methodology development and project execution for Denim Group’s customers.

Abstract: Everyone knows exactly what the OWASP top ten security threats are, right? Well sort of... I ask people if they have heard of the top ten they say yes. I ask them to name a few they pause, then they blurt out 2-3. Then I ask them to explain those 2-3 and they look at me like a deer-in-the-headlights. I want to make sure that everyone who walks out of the presentation can clearly define the top ten and be able to communicate to another what each of the top ten vulnerabilities are.

Presenter Bio: Dean Bushmiller has taught for 12 years. He is the recipient of five Mission Coins from various military branches. He has led national certification organizations in development, policy, and educational materials for over 10 years.

San Antonio OWASP Chapter: Wed August 18, 2010

Topic: Which Web Programming Languages are Most Secure?

Presenter: Jeremiah Grossman, Founder and CTO, WhiteHat Security

Date: Wednesday, August 18, 2010 11:30am – 1:00pm

Location: San Antonio Technology Center (Web Room) 3463 Magic Drive San Antonio, TX 78229 http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=3463+Magic+Drive,+San+Antonio,+TX+78229

Abstract: Security-conscious organizations make implementing a software security development lifecycle a priority. As part of the process, they evaluate a large number of development technologies for building websites. The assumption by many is that not all development environments are created equal. So the question often asked is, “What is the most secure programming language or development framework available?”

Clearly, familiarity with a specific product, whether it is designed to be secure-by-default or must be configured properly, and whether various libraries are available, can drastically impact the outcome. Still, conventional wisdom suggests that most popular modern languages / frameworks (commercial & open source) perform relatively similarly when it comes to an overall security posture. At least in theory, none is markedly or noticeably more secure than another. Suggesting PHP, Java, C# and others are any more secure than other frameworks is sure to spark heated debate.

As has been said in the past, “In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is.” Until now, no website security study has provided empirical research measuring how various Web programming languages / frameworks actively perform in the field. To which classes of attack are they most prone, how often and for how long; and, how do they fare against popular alternatives? Is it really true that popular modern languages / frameworks yield similar results in production websites?

By analyzing the vulnerability assessment results of nearly 1,700 websites under WhiteHat Sentinel management, we may begin to answer some of these questions. These answers may enable the website security community to ask better and deeper questions, which will eventually lead to more secure websites. Organizations deploying these technologies can have a closer look at particularly risk-prone areas; software vendors may focus on areas found lacking; and, developers will increase their familiarity with the strength and weaknesses of their technology stack. All of this is vitally important because security must be baked into development frameworks and be virtually transparent. Only then will application security progress be made.

San Antonio OWASP Chapter: Fri. August 13, 2010

Topic: 1)How OWASP Works and Guided Tour of OWASP Projects / 2) Using the O2 Platform to Consume OWASP projects

Presenter: Dinis Cruz

Date: Friday, August 13, 2010, 2010 11:30am – 1:00pm

Location: San Antonio Technology Center (Web Room) 3463 Magic Drive San Antonio, TX 78229 http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=3463+Magic+Drive,+San+Antonio,+TX+78229

Abstract: 1) How OWASP Works and Guided Tour of OWASP Projects - This presentation will focus on my experience in getting things done at OWASP, what resources are available and what types of initiatives should the local chapters be doing. In addition to a quick overview of a number of key OWASP projects, this talk will also provide a tutorial on how the OWASP WIKI (MediaWiki based) can be used as a database (using the MediaWiki templates technology)

2) Using the O2 Platform to Consume OWASP projects - This presentation will focus on how to consume the OWASP Wiki and a number of OWASP projects using the OWASP O2 Platform. The O2 Platform has powerful technology and capabilities for both BlackBox and WhiteBox analysis and this presentation will provide examples on how to use O2 with: WebGoat, WebScarab, Code Crawler, Dir Buster, Testing Guide, Code Review Guide and OpenSAMM

The O2 Platform is focused on automating application security knowledge and workflows. It is specifically designed for developers and security consultants to be able to perform quick, effective and thorough 'source-code-driven' application security reviews (BlackBox + WhiteBox). In addition to the manual findings created/discovered by security consultants, the OWASP O2 Platform allows the easy consumption of results from multiple OWASP projects and commercial scanning tools. This allows security consultants to find, exploit and automate (via Unit Tests) security vulnerabilities usually dismissed by the community as impossible to find/recreate. More importantly, it provides the Security Consultants a mechanism to: a) 'talk' with developers (via UnitTest) , b) give developers a way to replicate + "check if it's fixed" the vulnerabilities reported and c) engage on a two-way conversion on the best way to fix/remediate those vulnerabilities.

Presenter Bio: Dinis Cruz is a Security Consultant based in London (UK) and specialized in: ASP.NET/J2EE Application Security, Application Security audits and .NET Security Curriculum Development. For the past years Dinis has focused on the field of Static Source Code analysis, from May 2007 to Dec 2009 he worked as a independent consultant for Ounce Labs (bought by IBM in July 2009) where during active security engagements using Ounce's technology he developed the Open Source codebase which now is the foundation of the OWASP O2 Platform. Dinis is currently focused on making the O2 Platform the industry standard for consuming, instrumenting and data-sharing between the multiple WebAppSec tools, the Security consultants and the final developers. Dinis is a also active trainer on .Net security having written and delivered courses for IOActive, Foundstone, Intense School and KPMG (at multiple locations including BlackHat), and has delivered a number of presentations and keynote speeches at multiple OWASP and Security related conferences At OWASP, Dinis is the leader of the OWASP O2 Platform project, member of the OWASP Global Projects Committee, chair of the OWASP Connections Committee and member of the OWASP

San Antonio OWASP Chapter: Wed June 16, 2010

Topic: Securing Software Applications Using Dynamic Dataflow Analysis

Presenter: Steve Cook, Senior Research Analyst, SwRI

Date: Wednesday June 16, 2010 11:30am – 1:00pm

Location: San Antonio Technology Center (Web Room) 3463 Magic Drive San Antonio, TX 78229

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=3463+Magic+Drive,+San+Antonio,+TX+78229

Abstract: In this presentation, we present an ongoing research effort that ensures that a wide variety of user-defined security policies are enforced on executing C programs while keeping runtime overhead low and with little disruption to the development process by leveraging Dynamic Dataflow Analysis (DDFA). The DDFA system is built upon the Broadway static data flow analysis and error checking system, which is a source-to-source translator for C developed by the computer sciences department at the University of Texas at Austin (UT-Austin). UT-Austin and the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) recently collaborated to further enhance the system through a government research project funded by Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) and a SwRI internal research project.

The system works by automatically instrumenting the original source, guided by the security policy, with DDFA runtime library calls. The modified program is then compiled for the platform of choice so that its security policy can be enforced at runtime through the DDFA runtime library.

The runtime overhead is kept low by leveraging the semantic information provided by the security policy and a sophisticated dependence analysis to enable optimizations beyond standard compiler techniques. This results in a program that is instrumented with additional code only where provably necessary, so innocuous flows of data are not tracked at runtime.

Disruption to the development process is minimized through the security policy specification. The security policy is defined once by a security expert using a simple language, which has a direct mapping to the application programming interface to which the program is written. The policy, once defined, can be applied to many different programs. The DDFA approach is easily integrated into the development workflow, adding only an additional compilation step before application deployment.

The system does not require any modification to the original source code by the programmer, and does not require hardware or operating system changes. In the future, our system can be extended to handle multiple languages and complement new security solutions.

Presenter Bio: Steve Cook is a senior research analyst in the System Security and High Reliability Software section at the SwRI. His background and expertise are in distributed and parallel computing, compilers, as well as object-oriented and generic programming. He received his master’s degree in computer science from Texas A&M University. While at Texas A&M, he worked as a research assistant for Dr. Bjarne Stroustrup, creator of the C++ Programming Language, where he helped develop a new approach to writing concurrent programs that allows programmers to quickly turn a sequential C++ program into a parallel one that is race and deadlock free.

Topic: The Open Software Assurance Maturity Model

Presenter: Dan Cornell, Principal, Denim Group

Date: Wednesday May 19th, 2010 11:30am – 1:00pm

Location: San Antonio Technology Center (Web Room) 3463 Magic Drive San Antonio, TX 78229

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=3463+Magic+Drive,+San+Antonio,+TX+78229

Abstract: The Open Software Assurance Maturity Model (SAMM) (http://www.opensamm.org/) is a flexible and prescriptive framework for building security into a software development organization. Covering more than typical SDLC-based models for security, SAMM enables organizations to self-assess their security assurance program and then use recommended roadmaps to improve in a way that's aligned to the specific risks facing the organization. Beyond that, SAMM enables creation of scorecards for an organization's effectiveness at secure software development throughout the typical governance, development, and deployment business functions. Scorecards also enable management within an organization to demonstrate quantitative improvements through iterations of building a security assurance program.

This workshop will introduce the SAMM framework and walk through useful activities such as assessing an assurance program, mapping an existing organization to a recommended roadmap, and iteratively building an assurance program. Time allowing, additional case studies will also be discussed. OpenSAMM is an open a free project and has recently been donated to the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Foundation. For more information on OpenSAMM, visit http://www.opensamm.org/.

Presenter Bio: Dan Cornell has over ten years of experience architecting, developing and securing web-based software systems. As a Principal of Denim Group, he leads the organization’s technology team overseeing methodology development and project execution for Denim Group’s customers. He also heads the Denim Group application security research team, investigating the application of secure coding and development techniques to the improvement of web based software development methodologies.

San Antonio OWASP Chapter: January 2009 Meeting

Topic: "Vulnerability Management in an Application Security World."

Presenter: Dan Cornell, Principal, Denim Group Date: January 29, 2009 11:30am – 1:00pm

Location:

San Antonio Technology Center (Web Room) 3463 Magic Drive San Antonio, TX 78229 http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=3463+Magic+Drive,+San+Antonio,+TX+78229

Abstract:Identifying application-level vulnerabilities via penetration tests and code reviews is only the first step in actually addressing the underlying risk. Managing vulnerabilities for applications is more challenging than dealing with traditional infrastructure-level vulnerabilities because they typically require the coordination of security teams with application development teams and require security managers to secure time from developers during already-cramped development and release schedules. In addition, fixes require changes to custom application code and application-specific business logic rather than the patches and configuration changes that are often sufficient to address infrastructure-level vulnerabilities. This presentation details many of the pitfalls organizations encounter while trying to manage application-level vulnerabilities as well as outlines strategies security teams can use for communicating with development teams. Similarities and differences between security teams’ practice of vulnerability management and development teams’ practice of defect management will be addressed in order to facilitate healthy communication between these groups.
