Getting a Handle on SharePoint Security Complexity, by Jan Philipp (Solutions Consultant Security, n.runs,) and Alexios Fakos (Principal IT Security Consultant, n.runs)
Abstract:
This presentation’s main goal is to provide decision makers, architects, administrators and developers with a comprehensive SharePoint security overview. We will introduce a SharePoint security model applicable to SharePoint versions 2010 and 2013. Then we will take a closer look at the use of different types of security principals and their effective use. This will be followed by covering security aspects when implementing and extending SharePoint to meet business needs and will be emphasized by showcasing common security pitfalls with examples throughout the presentation. This will be demonstrated with security down to the “nitty-gritty” details based on actual use cases and tips and pitfalls that have been encountered during security assessments and implementation of SharePoint solutions.
Bio:
Jan Philipp (MCT since 1989, MCITP, MCSE) works as a security consultant at n.runs, where he is responsible for design and implementation security assessments of complex global SharePoint infrastructures and solutions for major German and international companies. He has been involved with SharePoint technologies from their inception with Digital Dashboards throughout their many development changes (TeamSpaces, MOSS etc.) to the present day SharePoint and SharePoint Live versions.
Alexios Fakos (CRISC, CSSLP) began his career in development as a Software Engineer back in 1999. After seven years of inspired insights in the software industry he joined n.runs to be part of the security team. Alexios is leading n.runs SDL services and he is since 2008 part of the German OWASP chapter. Alexios held presentations at OWASP AppSec US and Germany.
Remote Code Exection in WordPress: an analysis, by Tom Van Goethem (PhD Researcher, University of Leuven)
Abstract:
With over 13 million downloads, WordPress is one of the most popular open source blog platforms and content management systems. One of its key features is the installation of plugins. These are developed by third parties, but WordPress has to maintain its legacy codebase in order to remain compatible with these plugins. As this codebase makes use of unsafe functions, vulnerabilities may arise, affecting thousands websites - if not more. This presentation will focus on a vulnerability that has been present in WordPress versions up to September 2013. This vulnerability, which may lead to Remote Code Execution, was found by a simple combination of two publicly known elements: PHP Object Injection and unexpected behaviour of MySQL regarding Unicode characters.
Bio:
Tom Van Goethem is passionate about web security. After getting a master's degree of Applied Informatics, he enrolled in a PhD at the University of Leuven. As a student with a chronic drinking problem, he still found some time to hunt bugs for fun (and profit).
Everything you always wanted to know about web-based device fingerprinting (but were afraid to ask), by Nick Nikiforakis (Postdoctoral Researcher, University of Leuven)
Abstract:
Billions of users browse the web on a daily basis,
and there are single websites that have reached over one billion user
accounts. In this environment, the ability to track users and their online habits can
be very lucrative for advertising companies, yet very intrusive for the privacy of users.
In this talk, we are going to describe web-based device fingerprinting, i.e., the ability
to tell users apart, without the use of cookies or any other client-side identifiers. We
will explain how device fingerprinting works, who is using, for what reason, and how people
are trying to defend against it today.
Bio:
Nick Nikiforakis is a Postdoctoral Researcher at KU Leuven in Belgium. Nick's interests lie
in the analysis of online ecosystems from a security and privacy perspective and he has
published his work in top conferences of his field. More information about him can be found
on his personal page: http://www.securitee.org .
