In this talk we describe a network based infection detection system developed at Polytechnic University.

Finally, it provides solutions for cleanup including containment and eradication in a simple, efficient and economical manner.

10:30am - 11:30am - TOPIC: Ready...Set...Click We can no longer think about consumer interaction and security as two different topics on opposite ends of the spectrum. They're two very important and very inter-related topics that affect everyone. The speech will describe real world flaws, poorly designed security and what hackers are doing to exploit today's websites. Lastly, it will show some forward thinking mitigation tactics.

SPEAKER: Robert "RSnake" Hansen Robert has worked in the security industry since the mid 1990s and helped pioneer leading banner advertising and click fraud detection solutions. During his tenure at eBay, Mr. Hansen worked on anti-cross site scripting, anti-phishing, anti-virus and web application intrusion detection and countermeasures and was directly responsible for the company's entire authentication architecture. For many years he ran the managed security services product lines for Cable & Wireless. He has spoken at Blackhat, Microsoft's Bluehat, the Rotary, OWASP, the Gartner security round table and at Networld+Interop. He is a member of WASC, OWASP, ISC2, APWG and ISSA.

11:45 - 12:15pm - TOPIC: Dig Your Own Hole: 12 Ways to Go Wrong with Java Security This session explores 12 of the most common security traps in Java. This session doesn’t include a review of 10–year–old guidelines for writing secure applets with JDK 1.1. Instead, it looks at causes of security failures in modern Java–based applications. Approaching security with an “outside in” style, it looks at vulnerabilities from a developer’s perspective, focusing on the source code.

SPEAKER: Eric Cabetas

1:00pm - 1:30pm TOPIC: Network Based Infection Detection No system is 100% secure and security often fails. As a result roughly 10% of hosts within an enterprise get infected every year. Infections are caused by vulnerabilities in applications, policy violations by insiders and misconfigured services. Worms and viruses are not the only form of infections. Botnets, Proxies, Trojans, Keyloggers, Adware, Rootkits can be far more damaging. Even applications like Google Desktop, Skype and Foldershare can leak business secrets and hence be viewed as infections. Infected hosts within a network pose a serious risk to business assets. Detecting infections and cleaning up after them costs an organization a big part of its IT budget as detection, containment and eradication procedures are mostly manual and labor intensive.

In this talk we describe a network based infection detection system developed at Polytechnic University. The system collects and synopsizes network traffic with strategically placed infection sensors in the network. It then analyzes network traffic for symptoms of infections to identify infected hosts. Once an infection is found and characterized, it retroactively detects similar infections which could have occurred weeks and months in the past but have not been detected yet.
