Next Chapter Meeting: December 10th, 2014

The next OWASP Chicago chapter will be on December 10th, 2014 from 6:00PM to approximately 9:30PM. Space for the meeting is being graciously provided by Morningstar at their Chicago headquarters location (22 West Washington Street, Chicago, IL 60602).

The event is free but registration is required. This is how your name gets to the security folks downstairs. You do not need to be an OWASP member to attend. You do not need the actual ticket. Just sign up here: https://owaspchicago.eventbrite.com

Tell your friends! Many people just don't hear about these meetings and most people I ask say they heard about it from a friend or co-worker.

When you arrive, you will need to sign in with security in the lobby of the building, who will direct you to the cafeteria for refreshments. We will then move to the Auditorium for talks.

The schedule is as follows:

• 6:00PM - 6:30PM - Refreshments and pizza @ Cafeteria
• 6:30PM - ~9:30PM - Talks! @ Auditorium

Agenda

• Introducing idb: Simplified Blackbox iOS App Pentesting by Daniel Mayer - A review of common iOS mobile app flaws and an intro to idb, a tool to help assess them.
• TBA

[1]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

[2]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.

[3]Secure Password Storage John Steven, Cigital

This talk discusses the pros and cons of the current practices such as salted-hashes, adaptive hashes and proposes an alternative solution for strengthening these existing practices. The talk will discuss the cryptographic properties of the current practices, but does not require a PhD in mathematics to understand the details.

[4]Stripe CTF 2.0; A Walkthrough Jeff Jarmoc, Dell SecureWorks Zack Fasel, Dubsec Labs

In this presentation, we walk through our solutions to Stripe CTF 2.0. Focus is on how we discovered the vulnerabilities, and how we went about finding and exploiting them.
