Tuesday, July 07 Title: Hacking Smart Safes: On the "Brink" of a Robbery Presenter(s): Dan “AltF4” Petro, Oscar Salazar Have you ever wanted to crack open a safe full of cash with nothing but a USB stick? Now you can! The Brink’s CompuSafe cash management product line provides a “smart safe as a service” solution to major retailers and fast food franchises. They offer end-to-end management of your cash, transporting it safely from your storefront safe to your bank via armored car. During this talk, we’ll uncover a major flaw in the Brink’s CompuSafe and demonstrate how to crack one open in seconds flat. All you need is a USB stick and a large bag to hold all of the cash. We’ll discuss how to remotely takeover the safe with full administrator privileges, and show how to enumerate a target list of other major Brink’s CompuSafe customers (exposed via configuration files stored right on the safe). At any given time, up to $240,000 can be sitting in each of the 14,000 Brink’s CompuSafe smart safes currently deployed across the United States - potentially billions of dollars just waiting to be stolen. We will also release a USB Rubber Ducky script to automate the whole attack, acting as a skeleton key that can open any Brink’s safe. Plug and plunder! So come ready to engage us as we explore these tools and more in this DEMO rich presentation.

June 09, 2015 Title: If you like it then you shouldn’t put a ring3 on it Presenter: Andrew Wilson Web applications are a primary means to breaching a company’s external network. It is a high-value goal for both malicious actors and security professionals to gain this valuable foothold. But how do you get from mere web application vulnerabilities to the compromise of a server? Common testing guidelines provide you a check list of items to test for, but very few show you how to utilize vulnerabilities to achieve testing goals.

Everyone knows that vulnerabilities have different levels of risk; But, what few talk about is the utility provided by vulnerabilities and how they can be used to achieve goals. Although some vulnerabilities are useful to note and impactful to a client, during a time gaped and scoped engagement they may not be able to be fully utilized. However, there are a handful of key direct vulnerabilities that can be leveraged to result in a compromise. These vulnerabilities, along with how to find them and how to leverage them for our needs, will be reviewed during this talk. Additionally, common attack strategies will be reviewed that can help a focus time and energies to maximize efforts in web server compromises.

Title: Top Ten Web Defenses We cannot “firewall” or “patch” our way to secure websites. In the past, security professionals thought firewalls, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), patching, and privacy policies were enough. Today, however, these methods are outdated and ineffective, as attacks on prominent, well-protected websites are occurring every day. Most every organization in the world have something in common – they have had websites compromised in some way. No company or industry is immune. Programmers need to learn to build websites differently. This talk will review the top coding techniques developers need to master in order to build a low-risk, high-security web application.

wxFramework (Web Exploitation Framework)

Ken Johnson

The project’s goal is to assist penetration testers in exploiting web application and web service weaknesses. Because exploitation of applications is rarely point and click and usually requires multiple steps, network exploitation frameworks often fall short of the goal. The framework is intended to assist attackers along their exploitation journey. During this talk we will preview the new graphical interface for the first time and demonstrate how it changes or enhances the reasons you may wish to try wXf.

OWASP O2 Platform Dinis Cruz

The O2 Platform is focused on automating application security knowledge and workflows. It is specifically designed for developers and security consultants to be able to perform quick, effective and thorough source code-driven application security reviews (blackbox + whitebox). In addition to the manual findings created/discovered by security consultants, the OWASP O2 Platform allows the easy consumption of results from multiple OWASP projects and commercial scanning tools. This allows security consultants to find, exploit and automate (via Unit Tests) security vulnerabilities usually dismissed by the community as impossible to find/recreate. More importantly, it provides security consultants a mechanism to: (a) "talk" with developers (via UnitTest), (b) give developers a way to replicate + "check if it's fixed" the vulnerabilities reported and (c) engage in a two-way conversion on the best way to fix/remediate those vulnerabilities.

SharePoint Hacking - Advanced SharePoint Security Tools and Tips     -Francis Brown

http://www.bishopfox.com/resources/tools/sharepoint-hacking-diggity/

Microsoft SharePoint products and technologies continue to grow in popularity and have become the core foundation upon which many organizations have built their web presence. Unfortunately, guidance concerning common SharePoint security issues tends to be overly complex and often misunderstood. Ultimately this results in insecurely configured and deployed SharePoint instances in production environments.

This demonstration rich presentation will cover our newly released SharePoint hacking tools and techniques that security professionals can easily use to identify and exploit common insecure configurations in SharePoint applications. Some of the areas we’ll attempt to tackle are: • Identifying vulnerable SharePoint applications using public search engines such as Google and Bing • Gaining unauthorized access to SharePoint administrative web interfaces • Exploiting holes in SharePoint site user permissions and inheritance • Illustrating the dangers of granting excessive access to normal user accounts • Pillaging Active Directory via insecure SharePoint services • Attacking 3rd party plugins/code within SharePoint • And much more…

Appsec Design Reviews Reloaded - Andre Gironda The best place to start in the software lifecycle is during the design phase. Workflow tools exist for SDL processes, build servers, penetration-testing activities, and many other application security checkpoints. However, very few tools and techniques exist or are readily available when performing application security design reviews. The full process of application security should be agreed upon during the design phase by the security department and all relevant application development teams. The direction of the projects and the patterns used in the application architectures can also be augmented from an application security perspective. This presentation will provide discussion around how to solve many of these and other challenges in application security. The focus will be on web applications that use common technologies, such as managed code frameworks. Bio: Andre has contributed to many OWASP documents and has been working in the appsec space for almost 5 years. He is a local to the Phoenix area and has presented on application security topics recently at BSides, OWASP, and Toorcon events.

masSEXploitation, Mike Brooks  This talk covers the use of chaining vulnerabilities in order to bypass layered security systems. This talk will also cover ways of obtaining wormable remote code execution on a modern LAMP platform. These attacks where developed by me, and they are very new. These attacks are as real as it gets, and the results are making the headlines.

Bio: I will be giving this talk at this years Defcon and it will 3rd year in a row that I spoken. According to the Department of Homeland Security I have found a vulnerability with a severity metric of 13.5 which makes it into the top 1,000 most dangerous of all time. I am the top answerer of security questions on StackOverflow.com (The Rook). I actively hunt for vulnerabilities on a verity of platforms. I write exploit code and make it public.

Involuntary Case Studies in Data Breaches, Rich Mogull, Securosis

It's absolutely bass ackwards, but while the bad guys constantly share details of their exploits, including techniques, when it comes to real incidents, actual defenders rarely talk about what worked, and what didn't. Our entire industry is built on anecdote and the few tidbits we can glean from press reports. Thus we, as an industry, don't link means and methods to actual security outcomes. Without this information we're like a bunch of blindfolded wannabe ninjas trying to catch rounds from a machine gun with our bare hands. In this session we'll name names as we build in-depth case studies based on publicly available information, some of which isn't overly public. We will combine these with the latest information from breach reports released by incident response companies and the Dataloss Database. The session will build a picture of how real breaches happen, which security controls really work, and which compliance checkboxes are a complete and total waste of time.

Application Security Tools  - Web Application Proxy Editors and Scanners - Andre Gironda  - Adam Muntner Risk Assessment Considerations for Web Applications (brief talk+discussion) - Erich Newell

 â and other web+network trust issues â Andre Gironda

In computing, the same origin policy is an important security measure for client-side scripting (mostly Javascript). It prevents a document or script loaded from one "origin" from getting or setting properties of a document from a different "origin". It was designed to protect browsers from executing code from external websites, which could be malicious.

XSS and CSRF vulnerabilities exploit trust shared between a user and a website by circumventing the same-domain policy. DNS Pinning didn't pan out exactly right, either. Can client-side scripting allow malicious code to get into your browser history and cache? Can it enumerate what plugins you have installed in your browser, or even programs you have installed to your computer? Can it access and modify files on your local hard drive or other connected filesystems? Can client-side scripts be used to access and control everything you access online? Can it be used to scan and attack your Intranet / local network? Does an attacker have to target you in order to pull off one of these attacks successfully? If I turn off Javascript or use NoScript, am I safe? What other trust relationships does the web application n-Tier model break?

Data@Risk â Protecting Web Applications Throughout the Development Lifecycle from Hackers - Brian Christian

Brian Christian, Co-founder and Application Security Engineer, S.P.I. Dynamics, Inc. discussed what Web application security is and why it is needed throughout the entire development lifecycle. We will discuss common vulnerabilities in the Web application layer and why they are so easily exploited. This session demonstrates how to defend against common attacks at the Web application layer with examples covering Web application hacking methods such as SQL Injection, Blind SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Parameter Manipulation, etc. We will also review how compliance and regulatory legislation such as PCI, GLBA, HIPAA, CASB 1386, and Sarbanes-Oxley, etc. specifically relates to and affects Web application security. Additionally, we will examine how security throughout the development lifecycle is essential to the security of Web application code and the protection of proprietary data.
