OWASP Orlando Chapter Meetings
Tuesday 12/4/2018 Presentation Meeting

Topics:
 * Are you ready for the worst? - Tanya Janca

No matter the size of your IT shop, if the first time you think about the security of the software is during a major incident, it’s not going to go well. I will teach developers and security teams to prepare for, manage, and hopefully prevent, application security incidents. Starting with preparation; do you have a proper application inventory? How do you manage your technology stack? Disaster Recover? Backup strategy? Do you have a WAF? Monitoring? Tools that are at the ready when the s* hits the fan? During an incident; who’s managing the incident? Do you know? What is triage? Who does the investigation? Do you have a “safe” place to do potentially destructive testing? This talk outlines an immediate plan for the audience to get started, with a list of open source tools the security team and/or developers will use to ensure that they are ready, for the worst.


 * Intro to Frida - for binary and mobile app analysis - David Incorvaia

This is an introductory level presentation on Frida. What the tool can open up to the engineer and basic reverse engineering adventures with the tool.


 * Re-imagining Security Tools with OWASP ZAP - Simon Bennetts

ZAP is a flagship OWASP project and the most popular free, open source web security tool in the world. It is used by everybody from newcomers to security to experienced security professionals.

The ZAP desktop is extremely powerful, but it is very complicated and can be confusing, particularly for newcomers regardless of their security experience.

In this talk Simon, the ZAP project lead, will demonstrate a completely new and innovative interface for ZAP that the team has been working on.

Advanced IDS Evasions Using Scapy - Sanders Diaz

IDS Evasion has been a problem for Intrusion Detection since the technology's infancy. Even though new technologies like such as Intrusion Prevention Systems, Unified Threat management, and Next Generation firewalls have replaced the traditional IDS, while doing so they inherited its weaknesses to evasion. In 2010, StoneSoft conducted a BlackHat talk on the restated the relevance of Evasion techniques by introducing the Stacked IDS Evasion Technique. This technique combines prior known IDS evasion techniques and combines them simultaneously to successfully evade many class leading products like the Palo Alto, Fortigate, Cisco ASA, and others. Since then, the leading vendors have implemented fixes to stacked evasions in later generations of their platforms, but academic studies have proven stacked evasions still work, even if they are less effective. Furthermore, it is still possible to find outmoded devices both outside and inside the perimeter of organizations large and small. This talk aims to demonstrate the relevance of these techniques, offer instruction for the application of these techniques via scapy, and provide recommendations for how to cope with the problem.

Do AppSec Shortcuts Exist? - Greg Wolford

As enterprises shift to continuous delivery and other DevOps innovations, the pressure is mounting to produce more secure software faster. Yet, according to SANS, less than 26% of organizations have mandated, ongoing secure coding education programs. Do shortcuts exist for improving the state of your application security program? Are some programing languages inherently more secure than others? What should design teams look for before starting their projects?

This session will provide tangible steps addressing these issues based on benchmark data from actual code-level analysis of trillions of lines of code from applications submitted to Veracode’s cloud-based platform. Attendees will hear tips organized by programing language that will aid in planning for new application development as well as prioritize assessment and remediation activities.

XXE: The Anatomy of an XML Attack, by Mike Felch.

With XML being such a popular yet misunderstood file format, it's gained a lot of momentum as an exciting target for attackers. By default, XML's rich design creates a unique attack surface in applications which can pose problems when trying to mitigate. This talk will focus on one attack using external entities (XXE), which is plaguing mature applications from corporations like SAP, IBM, and Cisco to web applications within Yahoo, Google, and Facebook.

While XXE attacks are not extremely new, it seems to have gone unnoticed by most of the developers. Depending on the programming language and version, XML may enable the ability to use external entities by default which can create application specific attack primitives such as local file reads, denial of service, or unauthenticated remote code execution.

This presentation will briefly look at XML and how XXE is implemented, examine some real world attack payloads which leverage XXE to compromise web environments, and what developers can do to secure their applications. After the presentation, a vulnerable XXE application will be provided for attendees to exploit.

By the end of the meeting, attendees will have a much deeper appreciation for XML and the security risks that come with not understanding how programming languages implement the underlying technology.

Bio: Mike Felch is a senior pentester and security researcher with 18 years experience in offensive security strategies. He holds no degree and no certifications, just raw experience.

iOS Automation Primitives by Mikhail "Mike" Sosonkin, SYNACK

From the user’s perspective Android and iOS are not too dissimilar. One is cheaper than the other and pretty much everyone makes their apps for both types of phones. However, from the security testing perspective things are very different. Android is open and has lots of standard mechanisms to assist with testing. On the other hand, iOS is closed and requires lots of non standard methods for black box testing. The caveat is, of course, unless you own and control the build of the application but, that is not completely black box. If you do then you can use any number of tools: Appium, Apple UI Automation, etc.

This talk will cover reasons for why we constrain ourselves to this type of testing as well as various tools and techniques for instrumenting iOS apps to do UI automation. Specifically, we are constrained to no source code and no way to make a special build. The jailbreak community has developed many of these building blocks that if used in concert can provide for a powerful testing automation framework. This talk will also demonstrate a reference implementation of an extensible tool that brings all the primitives together to automate the testing of iOS applications.

Guest Speakers

Reverse Engineering Android Applications for Pride and Glory - Ben Watson

This presentation will serve as an introduction for those who want to dive into the art of reverse engineering Android applications and firmware. We will explore the inner workings of the Android architecture, traverse the landscape of reverse engineering tools and techniques, and propose some practical methodologies and workflows for all your bug hunting needs.

Ben Watson has over 7 dedicated years in application and mobile security. Prior to joining GuidePoint Security, Ben has been solving mobile & application security problems for cutting edge companies in the financial services, eCommerce, and medical industries. Often Ben has been sought after for building application security programs from the ground up. This is due to his experience in not only developing testing methodologies, tools, and techniques, but his understanding and perspective around what it requires to build secure products. Ben has managed and lead efforts in large mobile application security service initiatives, and is also an experienced mobile security researcher. He currently focuses his efforts around discovering new exploitable vulnerability patterns in Android and iOS. He also has multiple published zero day vulnerabilities effecting various Android web browsers, and is the creator and curator of the Android assessment toolkit called Lobotomy.

Do Your Own Highly Successful Five-minute Cryptography Evaluations - Scott Arciszewski

From web frameworks to encrypted chat applications to contactless smartcards, our industry is filled with people who deploy home-grown cryptography. The result of this choice is usually catastrophic. Even if you're using good primitives from well-studied libraries, how you utilize them can completely defeat the security they provide. Clearly, rolling your own cryptography is a bad idea; but how do you assess the libraries that others have written? The following implementations will be scrutinized:


 * OpenCart's Encryption library (ECB mode, no MAC)
 * Tutanota's messaging app (CBC mode without a MAC)
 * Mifare Classic's Proprietary Stream Cipher (aside from the 48-bit key, this cipher is incredibly unsound)
 * Defuse Security's PHP Encryption Library (safe, for reasons I will explain)
 * Libsodium - crypto_box (safe, for reasons I will explain)

Before winning the password hashing category of the Underhanded Crypto Contest at the Crypto & Privacy Village at DEFCON this year, Scott has spent years studying how to make real-world cryptosystems fail in useful ways for attackers, from timing side-channels to padding oracles and random number generator failures. Scott leads the software development efforts for, and audits client's cryptography products on behalf of, the Orlando-based technology consulting firm, Paragon Initiative Enterprises.

Q4 2014 Meeting November 12

We will be holding our Q4 meeting on Wednesday, November 12th at The University of Central Florida, main campus. There is NO cost to attend. Refreshments and snacks are provided by HeroiSec. Location Provided by University of Central Florida.

Guest Speakers

Blog like a hacker - Vikram Dhillon People just entering information security have a tough path ahead to become established and well-known. One major tool that almost all well known security analysts have is a blog where they all reach out to their audience. Getting a blog on a popular CMS platform is easy and of course great and all but you can't show your own skills off. Enter Jekyll. A blog written from scratch up where you can show off your own development skills. Most developers are using their own styling along with various plugins combined in this Ruby-based tool to show off how they can blog like a hacker. This session will be a walkthrough of how to blog using jekyll. I will showcase what the finished project looks like, how to get started with one, the structure of the app and finally how to extend the blog you've created with your own imagination.

Technological Telekinesis: Become One with the Force (aka Art, Gadgets and Tech) - Nathan Selikoff Witness how objects and digital worlds can be manipulated without any direct contact. You never see a Jedi with a keyboard or a touchscreen, do you? Why be tethered when you can freely express yourself? With a low-cost input device, a laptop, and a bit of programming know-how, you can capture a flick of the wrist or an all out dance routine. What you do from there is only limited by your imagination. Kinect yourself and Leap into the future! Nathan Selikoff is an artist and programmer who plays with interactivity and motion in time and space. Inspired by the behavior of systems, science, nature, and music, he combines computer code, traditional materials, and future technology to bring new ideas to life.

Q2 2014 May 12 Secure Coding Training

We will be holding a midday 4 hour training on secure application development led by Jim Manico. This workshop is an abridged version of the following course:

The class is a combination of lecture, security testing demonstration and code review. Students will learn the most common threats against applications. More importantly, students will learn how to code secure web solutions via defense-based code samples.

As part of this course, we will explore the use of third-party security libraries and frameworks to speed and standardize secure development. We will highlight production quality API's from various languages and frameworks that provide production quality and scalable security controls.

This course will include secure coding information for Java, PHP and .NET programmers, but any software developer building web applications, webservices or mobile applications will benefit.

Jim Manico is a member of the OWASP Board and currently manages many OWASP projects including the cheatsheet series. He also runs Manicode Security where he specializes in application security training

7:00 - 7:15 Break

7:15 - 8:00 "Don't Drop the SOAP: Real World Web Service Testing for Web Hackers" - Over the years web services have become an integral part of web and mobile applications. From critical business applications like SAP to mobile applications used by millions, web services are becoming more of an attack vector than ever before. Unfortunately, penetration testers haven't kept up with the popularity of web services, recent advancements in web service technology, testing methodologies and tools. In fact, most of the methodologies and tools currently available either don't work properly, are poorly designed or don't fully test for real world web service vulnerabilities. In addition, environments for testing web service tools and attack techniques have been limited to home grown solutions or worse yet, production environments.

In this presentation Kevin Johnson will discuss the new security issues with web services and discuss an updated web service testing methodology released at defcon 19 last year that will be integrated into the OWASP testing guide, new Metasploit modules and exploits for attacking web services and an open source vulnerable web service for the Samurai-WTF (Web Testing Framework) that can be used by penetration testers to test web service attack tools and techniques.

Inaugural Meeting October 19, 2011 6:30 PM at Seasons 52

We will be holding our first meeting on October 19 for an informal gathering of those interested in the OWASP mission. This is a chance to get to know the other members of the chapter and engage in the initial dialogue that will drive the direction of the group. We want to know what kinds of technologies you use or are interested in learning about, the challenges you are facing in your daily work and get a sense for the types of content you want to see at future meetings. I will bring some copies of various OWASP guides and possibly some other OWASP shwag to this initial meeting. We will be covering the OWASP mission, culture, and a high level view of OWASP projects. The format for this meeting will largely be discussion oriented. This is not currently a sponsored event, but we do have interested parties asking about sponsorship opportunities so this may change.

Chapter Information
OWASP Orlando is newly formed as of August 2011. The first meeting was held on October 19, 2011 and was designed largely as a social event to bring new members together. After this initial informal meeting we are continuing with quarterly meetings focused on content that attendees can apply within their own environments for minimal or no-cost to their organizations. We do not tolerate vendor-centric presentations but do encourage vendors to present as long as they can keep their marketing attempts to a minimum and focus on the underlying issues and technology. Typically we have 2 speakers with topics designed to meet the needs of the Builder, Breaker and Defender communities. As of April 2012 have continued to meet this commitment. Keep watching this space for announcements about upcoming events. If you are interested in being a speaker or taking a more active leadership role within the chapter, please contact the chapter leaders at the link above. Everyone is welcome to join us at our chapter meetings. We track membership based on participation at the mailing list linked on this page and this will be the primary means of communication for the chapter. We also have a Linkedin group at http://goo.gl/BB9fu
