Talks

OWASP Zap by David Scrobonia

Abstract

Intoducing security testing tools to a QA or developers workflow can be difficult when the tools aren't easy or intuitive to use. Even for security professionals, the friction of cumbersome security tooling can prevent them from getting the most from a tool or being effective with their time.
The OWASP ZAP team is working to help enable developers, QA, and hackers alike with the ZAP Heads Up Display, a more user friendly way to engage with the security testing tool. The Heads Up Displays integrates ZAP directly in the browser providing all of the funcitonality of the tool via a heads up display. The goal is to make ZAP more accessible and enabling users, especially developers, to integrate security in their daily workflows.
This talk will discuss the importance of usable tools, design tradeoffs made to improve usability, the various browser technologies powering the HUD, and how you can start hacking with a heads up display.

When Serverless Met Security… Serverless Security & Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) by Niels Tanis

Abstract

Serverless is a design pattern for writing scalable applications in which Functions as a Service (FaaS) is one of the key building blocks. Every mayor Cloud Provider has got his own FaaS available. On Microsoft Azure there is Azure Functions, AWS has got Lambda and Cloud Functions can be used on the Google Cloud. All of these have a lot of similarities in the way they allow developers to create small event driven services.
From security perspective there are a lot of benefits when moving to a serverless architecture. There is no need to manage any of the machines and the underlying infrastructure. Dealing with updates, patches and infrastructure is the responsibility of the platform provider. FaaS are short lived processes which will be instantiated and destroyed in a matter of milliseconds making it more resilient to denial-of-services (DoS) and also makes it harder to attack and compromise.
But will all of this be sufficient to be ’secure’ or should we be worried about more? With serverless there is still a piece of software that will be developed, build, deployed and executed. It will also introduce a more complex architecture with corresponding attack surface which also makes it hard to monitor. What about the software supply chain and delivery pipeline? There still will be a need to patch your software for vulnerabilities in code and used 3rd party libraries. In this talk we will identify the security area’s we do need to focus on when developing serverless and define possible solutions for dealing with those problems.

Weaknesses in our voice communications network: from Blue Boxing to VoLTE by Ralph Moonen

Abstract

Voice over 4G, or VoLTE, brings back the phreaking 80's. Once again, after 3 decades, the signaling path of telephony is accessible to end users. No more R1, R2, C4 or C5 however: we now have SIP. As it turns out, the implementations of SIP and VoLTE in various European providers' 4G infrastructures, open up a host of possibilities. During our research over the past few years we have identified vulnerabilities in implementations such as txt message spoofing, subscriber enumeration, location determination (leakage of cell-ID and LAC), IMEI leakage and a potential SIM-card sharing attack.
During this talk we will begin with a little historic stroll of phone phreaking through notable events and discoveries over the years. Bridging the narrative over the last few decades, new technologies such as VoIP, Volte, and VoWiFi are introduced, explaining the 4G and VoLTE infrastructure components and protocols. Next, on a rooted Android phone, we will show what control the user has over the VoLTE stack using some standard tools and the IPv6 stack. This includes hidden activities in Android and extraction of IPsec keys from the VoLTE stack. We will show that it is possible to import keys to Wireshark and monitor the IPv6 SIP traffic and components. Finally, examples of the vulnerabilities in implementations such as txt message spoofing, subscriber enumeration, location determination (leakage of cell-ID and LAC), IMEI leakage and a potential SIM-card sharing attack will be explained.
Yes, a slightly technical nugget of knowledge, yet very accessible and a lot of fun!

Importance of presentation for involved audience
The phone systems of the world have always been of interest to everyone: from users who expect privacy, to intelligence agencies who want access. The privacy, integrity and confidentiality of voice communications over telecommunication networks is therefore of interest to anyone who uses mobile phones (i.e.: everyone). It is also typically a closed subject with very little research being done, relative to other security topics such as malware and application vulnerabilities. The combination of little research and high impact on everyone, makes that this topic deserves much more attention than it currently does. The VoLTE weaknesses we will describe are implementation dependent, and largely unpublished (i.e. new).

Fast forwarding Mobile Security with the MSTG by Jeroen Willemsen

Abstract

After the startup of the mobile security project in 2010, the mobile security project and its testing guides have seen quiet some evolution. All of this changed quiet intensively when, in 2016, the Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) and the Mobile Application Security Testing Guide (MSTG) were created. Now, two years fast forward: where are we now? How can you use it as a pentester or a developer? We will start with introducing the current state of the MSTG and its side-projects and then show various demos on iOS and Android.

Bio

Jeroen is more or less a jack of all trades with interest in infrastructure security, risk management and application security.

Leaky Processors: Stealing Your Secrets with Foreshadow by Jo Van Bulck

Abstract

For decades, memory isolation has been one of the key principles of secure system design. The recent wave of speculative execution attacks, including Meltdown, Spectre, and Foreshadow abruptly showed, however, that performance optimizations in modern processors fundamentally undermine application security.
This talk will review how speculative execution attacks work. What makes them dangerous, and why they require a paradigm shift in the way we think about application security. The talk will have a special focus on the recently disclosed Foreshadow CPU vulnerability, which led to a complete collapse of state-of-the-art Intel SGX technology, and necessitated hardware and software patches for all major operating systems and virtual machine hypervisors.

Bio

Jo Van Bulck is a PhD researcher at imec-DistriNet, KU Leuven, where he investigates hardware-level trusted computing from an integrated attack and defense perspective. His work resulted in a.o., the high-impact Foreshadow CPU vulnerability announced in August 2018, and several open-source secure processor prototypes.

Fast, Furious and Insecure: Passive Keyless Entry and Start in Modern Supercars by Lennert Wouters

Abstract

The security of immobiliser and Remote Keyless Entry systems has been extensively studied over the past years. Passive Keyless Entry and Start systems, which are currently deployed in luxury vehicles, have not received as much attention. During this presentation we will share the techniques used in reverse engineering the Tesla Model S Passive Keyless Entry and Start system. We will discuss multiple security weaknesses in the system including the use of an inadequate proprietary cipher using 40-bit keys, the lack of mutual authentication in the challenge-response protocol, hardware configuration mistakes and the absence of security partitioning.
We verified our findings by implementing a proof of concept attack allowing us to clone a Tesla Model S key fob in a matter of seconds with low cost commercial off the shelf equipment.
Finally, we will share our experience with the responsible disclosure of these finding to Tesla Motors and other likely affected manufacturers such as McLaren, Karma Automotive and Triumph Motorcycles as they all use the same system developed by Pektron.
