Trainings
Breakers, defenders and superheroes!
In the wonderful world of application security we often learn to break stuff or we learn how to prevent hackers from breaking your stuff. In this training i would love to adres some basic and advanced topics and not only teach developers how to properly test their code like a penetration tester, but also learn the penetration tester to think like a developer so they really can deliver added value when instructing developers on how to fix their code like a baws!
Some of the topics i would like to adresss are:
- Content security policy and how to defeat it with HTML injections
- Advanced cross site scripting
- Cross site request forgery
- Mass Assignment (Parameter binding) attacks
- External entity attacks
- Path/directory traversal attacks (File inclusion attacks)
- File upload injections
- Server side template injections
- Authentication and authorization
PWN Android Apps with your Custom Built Toolbox
Frustrated with the various tools and environments needed to perform mobile pentesting? All available Android test distributions have drawbacks and missing and/or non-working tools etc. Learn how to create your own customized mobile pentesting toolbox with the tools you really want/need.
Not sure which steps to follow when performing a mobile application security assessment? Our renowned trainer, Steven Wierckx, will show you which steps to follow and what issues to focus on.

Why simply deploying HTTPS will not get you an A+ grade
20 years after the introduction of HTTPS, it is finally moving towards widespread adoption. As more and more web sites are enabling HTTPS, the attention for correct deployments increases as well. Tools such as Qualys’ SSL Labs server test make it is easy to verify the quality of any domain’s HTTPS deployment, but at the same time show how challenging it is to receive an A+ grade. While the initial deployment of HTTPS may seem straightforward, correctly deploying HTTPS is a daunting task. In this session, participants will learn through hands-on experience how to deploy HTTPS correctly, and how it impacts a Web application. We will cover common Web attacks on HTTPS, and how they are countered by the newest HTTPS security policies, such as HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) and HTTP Public Key Pinning (HPKP).
The learning objectives for this session are:
- Learning how to deploy HTTPS correctly, with strong ciphers and forward secrecy
- Understanding the intricacies of HTTPS, and its impact on a Web application, especially in combination with HTTP
- Understanding common Web attacks against HTTPS, and the newest browser-enforced security policies that counter them

Talks
The State of Security of WordPress (plugins)
Last July, we organised the Summer of Pwnage (sumofpwn.nl) targeting WordPress and WordPress Plugins. This has resulted in 118 findings; mostly affecting WordPress Plugins, but also WordPress Core. Looking at the reported types of vulnerabilities, by far the most reported type is Cross-Site Scripting. The majority of Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities were of the reflected type where the victim has to click on a malicious link or visit a malicious website (or advertisement). A fair share of them were stored though, and some of them even pre-auth.
Does this mean that WordPress is inherently insecure or is it just the Plugin eco system? In this talk, I'll present our view on the (in)security of WordPress and WordPress Plugins. In addition, I'll show how a WordPress installation can be compromised using Cross-Site Scripting (and how to protect) and a generic way to get remote code execution through PHP Object Injection will be demonstrated.
Speakers
Yorick Koster
Yorick Koster is co-founder of Securify, an information security company focusing on all aspects of software security. Securify helps organisations to (proactively) secure their web and mobile applications, from design to go-live. In this we take a proactive approach (Build Security In) to catch and prevent vulnerabilities early, when still easy and cheap to fix.
Yorick has more than 10 years of experience in the field of software security and has found security vulnerabilities in a wide range of applications, including Internet Explorer, Office, .NET Framework, Adobe Reader, and WordPress.
