= Mario Heiderich =

Bio
Dr. Mario Heiderich, handsome heart-breaker, bon-vivant and (as he loves to call himself) "security researcher" is from Berlin, likes everything between lesser- and greater-than.

He leads the small yet exquisite pen-test company called Cure53 and pesters peaceful attendees on various 5th tier conferences with his hastily assembled PowerPoint-slides and a lot of FUD.

Title
An Abusive Relationship with AngularJS – About the Security Adventures with the "Super-Hero" Framework

Abstract
Some voices claim that "Angular is what HTML would have been if it had been designed for building web applications". While this statement may or may not be true, is certainly accounts as one of the bolder ones a JavaScript web framework can ever issue. And where boldness is glistening like a German Bratwurst sausage in the evening sun, a critical review from a grumpy old security person shouldn’t be too far away. This talk will have a stern, very stern look at AngularJS in particular and shed light on the security aspects of this ever-popular tool. Did the super-hero framework do everything right and follow its own super-heroic principles? Does AngularJS increase or rather decrease the attack surface of a web application? How does AngularJS play along with the Content Security Policy, and was it a good idea to combine this kind of security with futuristic feature creep? And what about AngularJS version 2.0? Beware that we won’t stop at glancing at the code itself, investigating security best practices, and verifying compatibility and other common things that contribute to robust security (or lack thereof). We will cross the moral border and see if the AngularJS team could notice rogue bug tickets. A pivotal question that everyone is wondering about is: Have they successfully kept evil minds like yours truly speaker here from introducing new security bugs into the code base? This talk is a reckoning with a modern JavaScript framework that promises a lot and keeps even more, not necessarily for the best for developers and users. We will conclude in deriving a general lesson learnt and hopefully agree that progress doesn't invariably mean an enhancement.

= Michele Orr&#xF9; =

Bio
Michele Orrù a.k.a. antisnatchor is the lead core developer and smart-minds-recruiter for the BeEF project. Michele is also the co-author of the "Browser Hacker's Handbook." He has a deep knowledge of programming in multiple languages and paradigms, and is excited to apply this knowledge while reading and hacking code written by others. Michele loves lateral thinking, black metal, and the communist utopia (there is still hope!). He also enjoys speaking and drinking at a multitude of hacking conferences, including CONFidence, DeepSec, Hacktivity, SecurityByte, AthCon, HackPra AllStars, OWASP AppSec USA, 44Con, EUSecWest, Ruxcon, InsomniHack, PXE, BlackHat and more we just cant disclose. Besides having a grim passion for hacking and programming, he enjoys leaving his Mac alone, while fishing on saltwater and praying for Kubricks resurrection.

Title
Dark FairyTales from a Phisherman (Vol. III)

Abstract
Phishing and client-side exploitation DevOps for all your needs. Combine BeEF, PhishingFrenzy and your fishy business to automate most of the usual phishing workflow while minimizing human interaction. Multiple real-life phishing engagements will be discussed, together with the shiny new BeEF Autorun Rule Engine.

= Marie Moe =

Bio
Marie Moe is passionate about incident handling and information sharing, she cares about public safety and securing systems that may impact human lives, this is why she has joined the grassroots organisation “I Am The Cavalry”. Marie is a research scientist at SINTEF ICT, and has a Ph. D. in information security. She has experience as a team leader at NorCERT, the Norwegian national CERT. Marie also teaches a class on incident management and contingency planning at Gjøvik University College in Norway. Marie loves to break crypto protocols, but gets angry when its in her own body.

Title
Unpatchable - Living with a Vulnerable Implanted Device

Abstract
My life depends on the functioning of a medical device, a pacemaker that generates each and every beat of my heart. This computer inside of me may fail due to hardware and software issues, due to misconfigurations or network-connectivity.

Yes, you read that correctly. The pacemaker has a wireless interface for remote monitoring and I am forced to become a human part of the Internet-of-Things. As a seasoned security-professional I am worried about my heart’s attack surface.

This talk will be focused on the problem that we have these life critical devices with vulnerabilities that can’t easily be patched without performing surgery on patients, my personal experience with being the host of such a device, and how the hacker community can proceed to work with the vendors to secure the devices.

= Sean Duggan =

Bio
Seán is currently working as an InfoSec Analyst and studying for a Masters in Security and Forensics. He is also the Mobile Dev Lead for the Security Shepherd Project. During college he started making vulnerable Android Apps for the OWASP Security Shepherd project, which he continues to this day. He is always looking for new ways to make vulnerable Mobile Apps. Speaker at AppSec EU 2014, Attendee at Project summit in AppSec EU 2015, Speaker at DaggerCon 2015.

OWASP Security Shepherd - Workshop

Abstract
How do you know a web site is secure? How do you know your credentials are safe online? What makes a web site safe? Do you even know the questions to ask to help determine this? HTTPs is not the answer and trust is no longer a solution. The only way to be sure is to perform ethical hacking on the web application using a combination of manual and automated pentesting techniques. These skills are in high demand in the market place right now - but how can one get them? Well that's easy... if you take the right first step!

Join Sean Duggan for a 3 hour hands on workshop that will bring attendees up to speed on all the latest and greatest security testing techniques that are a concern in the market today. Compete against other attendees to solve increasingly complex security puzzles derived from real world security threats. Workshop attendees will leave with a real familiarity of web and mobile security testing best practice, terminology, workflows, and commonly used tool kits.

Title
Your Scripts in My Page - What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Abstract
When it comes to web security, there is the one policy to rule them all: The Same-origin Policy. Thanks to this policy, sites hosted on disjunct origins are nice and cleanly separated, thus preventing the leakage of sensitive information into the hands of unauthorized parties. Unfortunately, HTML predates the Same-origin Policy and, thus, was not designed with the origin-based security model in mind. In consequence, HTML tags can freely reference cross-domain locations and include cross-domain content in their hosting web pages.

In this talk, we will present an attack, resulting from this circumstance, that has been widely overlooked in the past but affects a surprisingly high number of Web sites: Information leakage via cross-domain script inclusion.

Modern web sites frequently generate JavaScript on-the-fly via server-side scripting, incorporating personalized user data in the process. Thanks to HTML's general ignorance of the Same-origin Policy, an attacker is able to include such dynamic scripts into web pages under his control using script-tags pointing to the vulnerable site. This, in turn, allows him to learn many of the secrets contained in these scripts, through the scripts interaction with the page it is included in. In our experiments, we were able to obtain personal information such as name & address of the logged-in user, leak CSRF tokens, read the users emails, and occasionally fully compromise the user's account. All possible by simply including a script-URL into one of our web pages.

To systematically investigate the issue, we conducted a study on its prevalence in a set of 150 top-ranked domains, in which we observed that a third of the examined sites utilize dynamic JavaScript. Using our attack techniques, we able to leak sensitive data from more than 80% of these sites via remote script inclusion. In the talk we will present the study in general, and the most interesting cases in detail, showing the wide range of possible attack variations along with a bag of tricks how the including page can be prepared to efficiently leak a script's secrets. Furthermore, we present an efficient detection mechanism, in the form of a browser extension, as well as defensive measure, which enable robust protection.
