WebGoat - Teaching application security 101 by Nanne Baars

Topic(s)

• Web Application Breaker
• Other

Keywords

WebGoat application, security teaching secure development

Abstract

A good defense against insecure code requires understanding the mechanics behind how attackers exploit simple programming mistakes. The WebGoat team will walk through exercises like SQL Injection, XSS, XXE, CSRF, ... and demonstrate how these exploits work.

We will show you how you can use WebGoat to train your developers to avoid these simple but common programming mistakes.

We also show you how to extend WebGoat to create lessons specific to your environment. Join us to learn the most basic, but common, application security problems.

Tired of all the lessons? During the training we will host a small CTF competition which you can take a shot at and compete with each other...

Secure Development: Models and best practices by Bart De Win

Topic(s)

• Software Assurance maturity models
• Secure Development in agile development
• Tips and tricks for practical SDLC
• Hands-on: SAMM analysis of your enterprise using SAMM 1.5
• Sneak preview of SAMM 2.0

Keywords

SDLC, SAMM, Agile development,

Abstract

It takes much more than a good developer to build secure software within an organisation. Indeed, building secure software is about ensuring that security is taken into consideration during the entire software lifecycle. It is about ensuring that security best practices are being employed efficiently, and that uncovered risks are appropriately dealt with in due time.

During this one-day training, we will introduce and discuss different secure development approaches and models. We will look into waterfall vs. agile development and discuss different strategies to successfully run an SDLC program. Finally, we will also put theorie into practice and take your organisation to perform a mini SDLC assessment and improvement exercise.

Attribute Based Access Control. Why, what, how? by Jacoba Sieders

Abstract

Digitization is rapidly transforming the traditional world and regulation on security and data protection is gaining weight. Digital identity, but also data protection become crucial capabilities for businesses. What are the trends in IAM and what role can Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) play here?

How to spend $3.6mil on one coding mistake, and other fun stuff you can do with $3.6mil by Matia Madou

Abstract

In a recent global study, the average cost of a data breach is $3.62M globally. This session will discuss infamous examples of data breaches that has made headlines around the world. We will explore the technical details of the vulnerability itself and what a coding solution may have been to prevent the breach. We will also dive deeper on exploring different solutions, processes and techniques you can apply in your day-to-day to prevent application security vulnerabilities in your code.

The evil friend in your browser by Achim D. Brucker

Abstract

On the one hand, browser extensions, e.g., for Chrome, are very useful, as they extend web browsers with additional functionality (e.g., blocking ads). On the other hand, they are the most dangerous code that runs in your browsers: extension can read and modify both the content displayed in the browser. As they also can communicate with any web-site or web-service, they can report both data and metadata to external parties.

The current security model for browser extensions seems to be inadequate for expressing the security or privacy needs of browser users. Consequently, browser extensions are a "juice target" for attackers targeting web users.

We present results of analysing over 60000 browser extensions on how they use the current security model and discuss examples of extensions that are potentially of high risk. Based on the results of our analysis of real world browser extensions as well as our own threat model, we discuss the limitations of the current security model form a user perspective. need of browser users.

Exploring the ecosystem of malicious domain registrations in the .eu TLD by Lieven Desmet

Abstract

In this talk, we report on an extensive analysis of 14 months of domain registration in the .eu TLD. The purpose is to identify large-scale malicious campaigns. Overall, the dataset of this study contains 824,121 new domain registrations; 2.53% of which have been flagged as malicious by blacklisting services. We explore the ecosystem and modus operandi of elaborate cybercriminal entities that recurrently register large amounts of domains for one-shot, malicious use. Although these malicious domains are short-lived, we establish that at least 80.04% of them can be framed in to 20 larger campaigns with varying duration and intensity. We further report on insights in the operational aspects of this business and observe, amongst other findings, that their processes are only partially automated.

Don't trust the DOM: Bypassing XSS mitigations via script gadgets by Sebastian Lekies

Abstract

Cross-Site Scripting is a constant problem of the Web platform. Over the years many techniques have been introduced to prevent or mitigate XSS. Most of these techniques, thereby, focus on script tags and event handlers. HTML sanitizers, for example, aim at removing potentially dangerous tags and attributes. Another example is the Content Security Policy, which forbids inline event handlers and aims at white listing of legitimate scripts.

In this talk, we present a novel Web hacking technique that enables an attacker to circumvent most XSS mitigations. In order to do so, the attacker abuses so-called script gadgets. A script gadget Is a legitimate piece of JavaScript in a page that reads elements from the DOM via selectors and processes them in a way that results in script execution. To abuse a script gadget, the attacker injects a benign looking element into the page that matches the gadget's selector. Subsequently, the gadget selects the benign-looking element and executes attacker-controlled scripts. As the initially injected element is benign it passes HTML sanitizers and security policies. The XSS only surfaces when the gadget mistakenly elevates the privileges of the element.

In this talk, we will demonstrate that these gadgets are present in almost all modern JavaScript libraries, APIs and applications. We will present several case studies and real-world examples that demonstrate that many mitigation techniques are not suited for modern applications. As a result, we argue that the Web should start focusing more on preventive mechanisms instead of mitigations.

A Series of Unfortunate Events: Where Malware Meets Murphy by Mattijs van Ommeren

Abstract

When an end user reports some “strange looking file names”, which, after investigating, you discover include several hundreds of Gigabytes of encrypted data, you of course know you are going to have a bad day. Your AV solution has failed you, your firewall has failed you, and your SIEM has failed you. Basically, every piece of security infrastructure you have put your trust (and money) into has left you out in the cold and you thank <deity of choice> that at least the nightly backup was completed successfully. Spin up the tape drive, and soon you will be back in business, or not…?

This talk is about failure. Not only about a failing security infrastructure, but also about failure in doing the Right Thing™ as a first responder, about the failure of Operating System tools, failing APIs, and ironically, also the failure of malware (which is unfortunately not as positive as it may sound). The scenario presented comes pretty close to the worst chain of events you can imagine, in an attempt to recover from a ransomware incident.

Luckily – this story has a happy ending. We will reveal how one can be prepared for when both Count Olaf and Murphy come knocking on your door simultaneously.

Common REST API security pitfalls by Philippe De Ryck

Abstract

The shift towards a REST API landscape indicates a significant evolution in the way we build applications. The rise of JavaScript and mobile applications have sparked an explosion of easily-accessible REST APIs. But how do you protect access to your API? Which security aspects are no longer relevant? Which security features are an absolutely must-have, and which additional security measures do you need to take into account?

These are hard questions, as evidenced by the deployment of numerous insecure REST APIs. Attend this session to find out about common API security pitfalls, that often result in compromised user accounts and unauthorized access to your data. We expose the problem that lies at the root of each of these pitfalls, and offer actionable advice to address these security problems. After this session, you will know how to assess the security of your APIs, and the best practices to improve them towards the future.
