Upcoming Meetup

Mar 2019 Meetup: HTTP2

Date: 20 March 2019 730pm to 830pm

Venue: Akamai Singapore office, 1 Raffles Place, #17-61, One Raffles Place Tower 2, Singapore 048616, Singapore

The presentation will discuss the relatively new HTTP2 protocol that has been recently adopted as a standard and widely adopted. Most browsers and web servers can support it, however relatively little security research has been done on the new protocol. There are very few tools to perform security testing, and penetration testing is challenging. There will be a demo of a vulnerability being exploited over HTTP2.

Mar 2019 Meetup #2: ReDTunnel: Explore Internal Networks via DNS Rebinding Tunnel

Date: 28 March 2019 730pm to 830pm

Venue: F5 Singapore office, Suntec City Tower Five, 5 Temasek Boulevard #08-01/02, Singapore 038985, Singapore

Did you wonder how you could browse target's internal network without deploying anything on the victim machine? Sounds like magic, right? Imagine that you could have a one-click setup that will provide you a magic tunnel from the outside world. That's when we came up with the "ReD Tunnel" idea. The design goal was to use tools that exist on the victim's device, like the browser, rather than rely on 0days to stay below the radar of the most advanced AV. To create this new capability, we decided to combine two concepts: JavaScript reconnaissance techniques and the DNS rebinding attack. Open your browser, wait until the victim visits your website and start browsing the internal websites in their network. Now, when red-teaming you could really "be a guest, but feel at home".

Jan 2019 Meetup: Security is everybody's job

Date: 16 January 2018 730pm to 830pm

Venue: Akamai Singapore office, 1 Raffles Place, #17-61, One Raffles Place Tower 2, Singapore 048616, Singapore

In DevOps everyone performs security work, whether they like it or not. With a ratio of 100/10/1 for Development, Operations, and Security, it’s impossible for the security team alone to get it all done. We must build security into each of “the three ways”; automating and/or improving efficiency of all security activities, speeding up feedback loops for security related activities, and providing continuous learning opportunities in relation to security. While it may sound like the security team needs to learn to sprint, give feedback, and teach at the same time, the real challenge is creating a culture that embodies the mindset that security is everybody's job.

Speaker: Tanya Janca

Oct 2018 Meetup: Lessons from Protecting a Major Conference: What You Do Not Know Will Haunt You[edit | edit source]

Date: 17 October 2018 730pm to 830pm

Venue: Akamai Singapore office, 1 Raffles Place, #16-61, One Raffles Place Tower 2, Singapore 048616, Singapore

In this session, lessons drawn from protecting a major security conference will be shared. (Identity of the conference will be hidden for confidentiality). These lessons can be easily adopted in most organisations at zero to low costs, so there is no excuse for infosec pros not to implement.

Besides looking at IoC or IoA, a new indicator will be proposed for security monitoring with more advance notice and more cost efficient protection.

Lastly, on a side note with no relation to the major security conference, common mistakes made during onboarding of CDNs will also be shared and appropriate suitable controls will be shared with the attendees. Hopefully, we will not see any exposed luncheon meat or seaweed when we onboard CDNs. ;-)

Sep 2018 Meetup: The Three Ways Of Software Security; Revolutionizing AppSec Using DevOps methods

Date: 19 September 2018 700pm to 830pm

Venue: JP Morgan Singapore office, JP Morgan, 168 Robinson Rd, Capital Tower, Singapore 068912

Just as DevOps was a new way of thinking that forever changed software development, application security is in the midst of its own transformation. Taking a page from an IT best seller Gene Kim’s “The Phoenix Project,” this session will provide a new definition of DevSecOps as we explore the “Three Ways of Software Security:”

1. Establish security work flow with a direct line-of-sight to business value

2. Ensure instant security feedback with continuous assessment and visibility

3. Encourage a security culture by reducing builder-breaker cycle time

Audience members will leave with a refreshed way of thinking about AppSec and DevOps, as well as an understanding for how to apply redefined DevSecOps within their own organizations.

Venue: Akamai Singapore office, 1 Raffles Place, #16-61, One Raffles Place Tower 2, Singapore 048616, Singapore

Software development is pressed for faster and faster release cycles with acceptable quality, budget and security. As movements like CI, CD and Devops aim to cut down on release cycles, it's security's job to help control the risk. The risk landscape is complex as modern development practices increasingly consume more and more third party code. Traditional methods do not cut it anymore - it's time for DevSecOps. This session gives an overview of how companies have implemented DevSecOps practices in their own delivery pipelines and how this can help increase developer awareness of risks affecting them. We'll walk an example CICD Pipeline and explore how security has been embedded as a part of it, how the movement is shaping up and how standards are starting to follow suite.

Jan 2018 Meetup: "Accuracy will set you free" - The New Era of AppSec with Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) and Runtime Application Self Protection (RASP)" and "Hunt for Cold War-like Sleeper Malware"

Date: 25 January 2018 730 pm to 900 pm

Venue: Akamai Singapore office, 1 Raffles Place, #16-61, One Raffles Place Tower 2, Singapore 048616, Singapore

Topic A: "Accuracy will set you free" - The New Era of AppSec with Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) and Runtime Application Self Protection (RASP)

Application attacks continue to be the #1 source of data breaches; why after decades of efforts and billion dollars security investments it is still the #1 source of data breaches?

What are the discrepancies and inadequacies in the current security postures and AppSec technologies?

Limited context and visibility of the application under test or under protection produces inaccurate and erroneous results which dramatically diminishes the effectiveness of current AppSec solutions and dev team productivities. Sharing the insights of the innovative AppSec technologies such as IAST and RASP which are delivering unprecedented accuracy and speed for both application security testing and application runtime protection.

See how these revolutionary AppSec technologies are freeing scarce and valuable technical resources to be better allocated.

Topic B: "Hunt for Cold War-like Sleeper Malware"

In a short, 30mins presentation, Onn Chee will walk through a case study of a Cold War-like malware which had masqueraded as a "goodware" and was actively used by users for more than a year without any adverse impact. Learn why the organisation's enterprise-grade sandbox and EDR solutions were not able to detect the sleeper malware. Just like the Cold Ware sleeper agents who browsed the newspapers' classifieds every day for activation code, the sleeper malware came on live after more than 1 year of usage and wiped off all user data in the users' endpoint. In the end, it is still the manual grunt work of investigation that helps to identify this sleeper malware. A demo version of the malware was recreated and will be used to demo the MO of the sleeper malware.

In recent years, ransomware has become a major problem for individuals and enterprises alike. A large attack surface, low barriers to entry and good rewards make it a very attractive option for attackers. We are already seeing hackers try out new infection vectors like social media (http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/locky-ransomware-self-downloading-image-files/) and targets like IoT and PoS systems (http://www.theverge.com/2016/11/27/13758412/hackers-san-francisco-light-rail-system-ransomware-cybersecurity-muni). In this talk, we will demonstrate and show PoC exploits on how ransomware can move up the stack from desktop apps to enterprise apps using a novel attack vector of library dependencies and package managers. Protecting and securing your software supply toolchain is going to be of paramount importance against such threats.

Nov 2015 Meetup: Security In The World Of CI-CD

Date: 26 Nov 2015 730pm

Venue: Akamai Singapore office, 1 Raffles Place, #16-61, One Raffles Place Tower 2, Singapore 048616

Continuous Delivery (CD) is a set of practices and principles in software engineering aimed at, building, testing, and releasing software, faster and more frequently. These principles help reduce the cost, time and risk of delivering changes, and ultimately value, to customers by allowing for more incremental changes to applications in production.

Continuous integration (CI) is the practice, in software engineering, of merging all developer working copies to a shared mainline several times a day.

In the same vein, the practice of continuous delivery further extends CI by making sure the software checked in on the mainline is always in a state that can be deployed to users and makes the actual deployment process very rapid.

So, in this rapid and fast world of CI-CD, focusing on highly scalable & highly portable software landscape, which offers high usage oriented web apps, the security landscape has really reached to cutting edge point.

This talk, will focus on how to posturize security with this fast pace world, covering most of all security verticals.

Information Security Seminar (ISS) 2014

Date: 26-27 August 2014

Venue: Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre

The Information Security Seminar is an annual event held since 2008 to provide thought leadership on infocomm security as well as to promote greater understanding of the key infocomm security issues and challenges faced by public and private sector organisations. This event is jointly organised by the Infocomm Development Authority (IDA), the Association of Information Security Professionals (AiSP) and the Cyber Security Awareness Alliance (CSAA) to amalgamate expertise, resources and communication channels in reaching out to both the public and private sector organisations.

The theme for the 2014 Seminar is “Security of Our Cyber Environment – Challenges of the Mobile Workspace”, which centres on sensitising the Public and Private sectors on the need to heighten vigilance in securing organisations’ digital information, and to build capabilities to prepare against ever evolving infocomm security threats. With the advent and adoption of new technology trends such as mobility, cloud computing and big data management, organisations need to be guarded against their inherent security risks, such as data loss, that may result due to improper infocomm security management. The seminar will discuss on the areas of security considerations and means to secure these technologies from exploits.

The seminar, comprising a main plenary as well as breakout tracks, is expected to draw about 500 infocomm security decision makers and practitioners from the Public and Private sectors, as well as students from institutes of higher learning. On the second day of the seminar, workshops which aim to provide an in-depth and hands-on approach to managing infocomm security challenges will be held for security professionals and students from institutes of higher learning.

For paid OWASP members, you are entitled to two complimentary seminar passes on a first-come-first-serve basis. Thereafter, you are entitled to a 10% discount off the list prices.

Please email me to register.

Date: 18 June 2014

Venue: Prudential Assurance Company Singapore (Pte) Ltd (at Prudential Towers) 30 Cecil Street #13-01 Prudential Tower (S) 049712

In this presentation, the speaker, Wang Jing, will share on the following:

Unvalidated Redirects and Forwards, also known as Open Redirect, is on the OWASP top 10 list in 2010 and 2013. One repercussion of the vulnerability is that it can be used for phishing attacks. According to Kaspersky, in 2012-2013, 37.3 million users around the world were subjected to phishing attacks — up 87% from 2011-2012. This presentation introduces a new kind of attack, Covert Redirect. The name is derived from and to contrast with Open Redirect. Covert Redirect could affect those who use OAuth 2.0 and OpenID to “login” websites such as Facebook, Google, Yahoo, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Paypal and many others. We will then simulate a Covert Redirect attack and provide some precautionary steps that companies can take to ensure security.

Welcome to the 1st meetup of 2013!

In this presentation, the speaker, Paul Craig, will share on the following:

Local Microsoft security policies are one of the few areas of security that are rarely researched or focused on by the security community. These policies are designed to prevent local users from accessing functionality which has been "Disabled By Your Administrator". From Local Group Policy, Software Restriction Policies, App Locker to Internet Explorer, each Microsoft technology has its own way of restricting what you can and cannot do. For local exploitation attempt these technologies can be troublesome, frustrating and restrict the true potential of your attack. This talk will cover a broad view of the current attacks against Microsoft local policies and the underlying issues affecting this form of security.

Apr 2012 Meetup: Rethinking web-application architecture for the Cloud

Date: 23 April 2012

Unless your organization is unique, not all your data is sensitive. This raises the question: should scarce security resources be used to protect 100% of your data? The logical approach should be to build your IT infrastructure in a manner that optimizes your investments: protecting what matters while managing non-sensitive data with minimal controls.

This talk presents an architecture for building the next generation of web-applications. This architecture allows you to leverage emerging technologies such as cloud-computing, cloud-storage and enterprise key-management Infrastructure (EKMI) to derive benefits such as lower costs, faster time-to-market and immense scalability with smaller investments – while proving compliance to PCI-DSS, HIPAA/HITECH and similar data-security regulations. We call this "Regulatory Compliant Cloud Computing (RC3)". Papers describing RC3 can be found on the following websites:

IBM: http://ibm.co/rc3dw

ISSA Journal: http://bit.ly/rc3issa

InfoQ: http://bit.ly/rc3infoq

StrongAuth: http://www.strongauth.com/pdf/RC3-WebAppArch-1.2-2.pdf

Speaker's Bio

Arshad is the CTO of StrongAuth, Inc., a Silicon Valley-based company focused on encryption and key-management for the last 11 years. He is the architect and lead developer of many open-source cryptographic software including CSRTool, StrongKey, KeyAppliance and the CryptoEngine.
