ING Belgium
Address
Cours St Michel 60 - 1040 Brussel

PROGRAM

The agenda:

  • 18h15 - 19h00: Welcome & sandwiches
  • 19h00 - 19h10: OWASP Update (by Sebastien Deleersnyder, OWASP)
  • 19h10 - 20h00: KRACKing WPA2 in Practice Using Key Reinstallation Attacks (by Mathy Vanhoef, imec-DistriNet-KU Leuven)
Abstract: This talk presents the key reinstallation attack against WPA2 (KRACK attack). It abuses design or implementation flaws in cryptographic protocols to reinstall an already-in-use key. This resets the key’s associated parameters such as transmit nonces and receive replay counters. Several cryptographic Wi-Fi handshakes are affected by the attack.
All protected Wi-Fi networks use the 4-way handshake to generate a fresh session key. So far, this 14-year-old handshake has remained free from attacks. However, we show that the 4-way handshake is vulnerable to a key reinstallation attack. Here, the adversary tricks a victim into reinstalling an already-in-use key. This is achieved by manipulating and replaying handshake messages. When reinstalling the key, associated parameters such as the incremental transmit packet number (nonce) and receive packet number (replay counter) are reset to their initial value.
Talk talk also discusses the vulnerability disclosure process that was followed. Since the discovery affected numerous vendors, coordinating the disclosure was non-trivial.
Bio: Mathy Vanhoef is a postdoctoral researcher at KU Leuven. He did his PhD on the security of WPA-TKIP, TLS, and RC4. His research interest is in computer security with a focus on wireless security (e.g. Wi-Fi), network protocols in general, the RC4 stream cipher (where is discovered the RC NOMORE attack), and software security (discovering and exploiting vulnerabilities). Currently his main research is about automatically discovering vulnerabilities in network protocol implementations, and proving the correctness of protocol implementations.
  • 20h10 - 21h00: Making the web secure by design (by Glenn Ten Cate, ING Belgium, and Riccardo Ten Cate, Xebia)
Abstract: Education is the first step in the Secure Software Development Lifecycle. The free OWASP Security Knowledge Framework (SKF) is intended to be a tool that is used as a guide for building and verifying secure software. It can also be used to train developers about application security. This talk will help you as a developer to become THE Neo of your development team. We will show how you can do security by design and introduce other quality gates into your development pipeline to ensure high end quality and security of your project.
Bio: As a coder, hacker, speaker, trainer and security researcher employed at ING Belgium, Glenn Ten Cate has over 10 years experience in the field of security. One of the founders of defensive development [defdev] a security training and conference series dedicated to helping you build and maintain secure software and also speaking at multiple other security conferences in the world. His goals is to create an open-source software development life cycle with the tools and knowledge gathered over the years.
Bio: As a penetration tester from the Netherlands employed at Xebia, Riccardo Ten Cate specialises in web-application security and has extensive knowledge in securing web applications in multiple coding languages. He is also a specialist in setting up Secure Software Development Life Cycles.

PROGRAM

The agenda:

Abstract: Usability problems are a major cause of many of today's IT-security incidents. Security systems are often too complicated, time-consuming, and error prone. For more than a decade researchers in the domain of usable security (USEC) have attempted to combat these problems by conducting interdisciplinary research focusing on the root causes of the problems and on the creation of usable security mechanisms. While major improvements have been made, to date USEC research has focused almost entirely on the non-expert end-user. However, many of the most catastrophic security incidents were not caused by end-users, but by developers or administrators. Heartbleed and Shellshock were both caused by single developers yet had global consequences. The Sony hack in 2014 compromised an entire multi-national IT-infrastructure and misappropriated over 100 TB of data, unnoticed. Fundamentally, every software vulnerability and misconfigured system is caused by developers or administrators making mistakes, but very little research has been done into the underlying causalities and possible mitigation strategies. In this talk we will explore the transition from end-user to expert usable security research and look at several application areas, including TLS, passwords, malware analysis and vulnerability analysis.
Bio: Matthew Smith is a Professor for Usable Security and Privacy at the University of Bonn. His research is focused on human factors of security and privacy mechanisms with a wide range of application areas, including TLS and network security, authentication, mobile and app security and, most recently, usable security for developers and administrators. His work has been published at amongst others IEEE S&P, ACM CCS, USENIX Security, NDSS, ACM SIGCHI and SOUPS the Symposium on Usable Security and Privacy. In 2015 his ERC Starting Grant "Frontiers of Usable Security" was selected for funding.
Abstract: Everyone makes security mistakes, and that includes Microsoft (seriously!). Many developers can spot and prevent vulnerabilities listed in the OWASP top 10. But that narrative changes when we look beyond the scope of the OWASP top 10. Compared to some more recent attacks, fixing XSS or SQL injection almost seems easy. In this session, we dive into a couple of .NET core cases that have been reported to the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC). Mind you; these vulnerabilities are not just framework vulnerabilities. Instead, they are coding patterns that you may have introduced in your applications. Examples are issues with hash tables, compression, encryption, regular expressions and more. In this session, you will learn how to spot these vulnerabilities in your code. On top of that, you will walk away with the skills to fix them.
Bio: Barry Dorrans is the .NET Security Czar, which means he tries to tell everyone else how to code securely and taking the credit when it goes right, as well as running the .NET Core Bug Bounty. He also ends up triaging publicly and privately reported vulnerabilities when it goes wrong before getting someone else to fix the mistakes. This he gets all the fun and none of the real work, aside from the endless stress wondering when the next vulnerability will be discovered.
