:File sharing services are used daily by tens of thousands of people as a way of sharing files. Almost all such services, use a security-through-obscurity method of hiding the files of one user from others. For each uploaded file, the user is given a secret URL which supposedly cannot be guessed. The user can then share his uploaded file by sharing this URL with other users of his choice. Unfortunately though, a number of file sharing services are incorrectly implemented allowing an attacker to guess valid URLs of millions of files and thus allowing him to enumerate their file database and access all of the uploaded files. In this paper, we study some of these services and we record their incorrect implementations. We design automatic enumerators for two such services and a privacy-classifying module which characterises an uploaded file as private or public. Using this technique we gain access to thousands of private files ranging from private and company documents to personal photographs. We present a taxonomy of the private files found and ways that the users and services can protect themselves against such attacks.

:Insiders who write code, whether they are developers working for an enterprise or contributors to an open source project, have an almost unlimited number of ways to put chinks in the armor of their software. Many times, these holes are put in place for seemingly good reasons—to facilitate easy debugging, make working from home easier, or as a failsafe in case other mechanisms for interfacing with the system fail.

Training, December 1st

COURSE
Owasp logo benelux training 1 Dec 2010.gif

Part of the BeNeLux OWASP Day 2010

Overview & Goal
 
  • Apart from OWASP's Top 10, most OWASP Projects are not widely used and understood. In most cases this is not due to lack of quality and usefulness of those Document & Tool projects, but due to a lack of understanding of where they fit in an Enterprise's security ecosystem or in the Web Application Development Life-cycle.
  • This course aims to change that by providing a selection of mature and enterprise ready projects together with practical examples of how to use them.
  • If you are interested in participating in the hands on portion of the course, please bring a laptop.

Conference, December 2nd

Location - December 2nd, 2010
09h00-10h00 Registration
10h00-10h15 Welcome (by Martin Knobloch and Ferdinand Vroom, OWASP NL Chapter)
10h15-10h45 OWASP Update (by Seba Deleersnyder, OWASP Board, SAIT Zenitel)
10h45-11h00 Coffee Break
11h00-11h40 Clickjacking: an empirical study with an automated testing/detection system (by Marco Balduzzi, Eurecom) Presentation
Clickjacking recently received new media attentions: Thousands of Facebook users have fallen victims of a worm that uses clickjacking techniques to propagate.
In a clickjacking attack, a malicious page is constructed (or a benign page is hijacked) to trick the user into performing unintended clicks that are advantageous for the attacker, such as propagating a web worm, stealing confidential information or abusing of the user session.
However it is currently unclear to what extent clickjacking is being used by attackers in the wild and how significant the attack is for the security of Internet users.
In this talk, we presents a solution we designed for studying the prevalence of clickjacking on the Internet and for detecting possible malicious pages in an automated fashion. We deployed our system over 10 distinct virtual machines to test more then a million unique web-pages in two months. From the analysis of our experimental results we discuss the clickjacking phenomenon and its future implications.
11h40-12h20 Privacy of file sharing service (by Nick Nikiforakis, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven) Presentation
File sharing services are used daily by tens of thousands of people as a way of sharing files. Almost all such services, use a security-through-obscurity method of hiding the files of one user from others. For each uploaded file, the user is given a secret URL which supposedly cannot be guessed. The user can then share his uploaded file by sharing this URL with other users of his choice. Unfortunately though, a number of file sharing services are incorrectly implemented allowing an attacker to guess valid URLs of millions of files and thus allowing him to enumerate their file database and access all of the uploaded files. In this paper, we study some of these services and we record their incorrect implementations. We design automatic enumerators for two such services and a privacy-classifying module which characterises an uploaded file as private or public. Using this technique we gain access to thousands of private files ranging from private and company documents to personal photographs. We present a taxonomy of the private files found and ways that the users and services can protect themselves against such attacks.
12h20-13h00 Finding Backdoors in Code (by Matias Madou, Fortify) Presentation
Insiders who write code, whether they are developers working for an enterprise or contributors to an open source project, have an almost unlimited number of ways to put chinks in the armor of their software. Many times, these holes are put in place for seemingly good reasons—to facilitate easy debugging, make working from home easier, or as a failsafe in case other mechanisms for interfacing with the system fail. Worse still, malicious insiders can plant logic bombs or insert backdoors so that they can embezzle funds, steal private information, or exact revenge if they become disgruntled.
Whether unintentional or malicious, code that performs questionable behavior or permits unauthorized access can be introduced with relative ease and can persist in a code base almost indefinitely without being discovered. Until it's too late. In this talk, we discuss techniques for applying static analysis to program source code to assist auditors hunting for backdoors, logic bombs, and other threats introduced by insiders. We give detailed examples of insider threats that have been uncovered in real software systems, outline possible motives for malicious insiders, and discuss how external stimuli like layoffs are increasing the attention paid to insider threats. We conclude the talk with results of applying the detection techniques discussed in this talk to real-world software.
13h00-14h00 Lunch
14h00-14h40 How NOT to implement a Payback/Cashback System (by Thierry Zoller)
Casback is a name given to progams where participants will earn points for every net euro/dollar in purchases made. There are many ways this can go wrong. We will revisit the design, architecture of common Cashback systems on every operational level. We will take one particular interesting Payback program as an example and show how NOT to deploy. Death by a thousand cuts.
Beware : Hilarity will ensue.
14h40-15h20 Botnets/Bredolab (by Michael Sandee, Fox-IT)
Botnets are a hot debated topic, with much controversies on how to fight them. Recently there was headline news regarding the takedown of the Bredolab botnet, which caused a lot of discussion and contained a lot of conflicting views on the subject. During this presentation the facts of this Bredolab botnet takedown will be discussed, alongside the views of a Cybercriminal on how to setup your own botnet. You will be given a crash-course Cybercrime in 30 minutes.
15h20-16h00 0wning Networks with VoIP and Web attacks (by Radu State, University of Luxembourg) Presentation
Voice over IP is the current de facto technology for delivering voice data in both enterprise and service provider infrastructure. Although , security threats specific to VoIP signalling have been known for a while, few is known about cross-layer attacks in which Web enabled VoIP devices allow for efficient attacks against the VoIP infrastructure and general IT networks .
This talk will give a short introduction to VoIP and continue with a series of attacks that leverage SIP as efficient transport vehicle for billing attacks , disclosure attacks and network penetration. The talk will show how one single phone call can compromise even the best secured and hardened network perimeter .
16h00-16h20 Coffee Break
16h20-17h00 The Social Networking Corporate Threat (by Chen Gour-Arie, Comsec Consulting)
Social Networking Sites (SNS) and Web 2.0 platforms have been growing rapidly over the past few years, with multi-millions utilizing these platforms on a daily basis. In this talk, we will present some of the threats that SNS introduces to the corporate environment.
17h00-17h40 Attacking is easy, defending is hard (by Walter Belgers, Madison Gurkha) Presentation
An attacker has an easy job. They need only find one security hole, and they've broken the system. The system, application and network administrators :have a much harder task. They have to find not just one, but each and every one of the holes. Preferably before the bad guys do.
And, these holes can be at several different layers. In the presentation, we will look at those layers (system level, application level, but also user :level) and observe what goes wrong and how to fix it. The observations come from the daily work at Madison Gurkha.
Examples of problems are lack of patches, problems during the development phase, susceptibility to social engineering attacks and more.
