AppSensor: Real Time Defenses against Application Worms and Malicious Attackers
ABSTRACT
The OWASP AppSensor project was created to address the lack of defensive systems within applications. Regardless if an application is secure or insecure, malicious actions should be recorded, analyzed and responded to by the system. It is unacceptable to allow an attacker unrestricted attack attempts against the application. Eventually a known or unknown vulnerability will be discovered by the attacker and exploited. AppSensor monitors attack activity and takes defensive actions such as throttling or disabling the malicious account. Behavior analysis techniques are also employed to identify application worms. Defensive techniques are described which provide real-time containment of the application worm while maintaining overall system availability.

[2]Webapps In Name Only
Thomas Ptacek, Matasano Security
Where modern network architecture meets legacy application design, we get "The Port 80 Problem": vendors wrapping every conceivable network protocol in a series of POSTs and calling them "safe". These "Webapps In Name Only" are a nightmare for application security specialists.
In this talk, we'll discuss, with case studies, how tools from protocol reverse engineering can be brought to bear on web application security, covering the following areas:
- Locating and Decompiling Java and .NET Code - Structure and Interpretation of Binary Protocols in HTTP - Protocol Debugging Tools - Web App Crypto Tricks
[3]Token-less strong authentication for web applications: A Security Review Cory Scott, ABN AMRO
A short presentation on the threat models and attack vectors for token-less schemes used to reduce the risk of password-only authentication, but yet do not implement "true" two-factor technologies for logistical costs or user acceptance reasons. We'll go over how device fingerprinting and IP geo-location work and discuss the pros and cons of the solutions.
