Abstract: Organisms keep themselves safe in a world that's every bit as unpredictable as our world. This presentation will parallel what we can learn from the world of art, literature, science, nature and apply it to the world of software security. For e.g., If Shakespeare had to write about software security, what would he write? What does a naked motorist have to do with loose lips that sink ships? What does pH have to do with software vulnerabilities? What does the Stick Insects' regenerative ability have to do with software 'bugs'? or can the Ostrich sticking its head in the sand behavior reflect the modicum of risk management we observe today and many more ...

The talk would be a fun-filled, extremely interactive session covering various concepts of security from risk management, defense in depth, secure programming, threats and vulnerabilities and compliance and more ... Come to find out the answers to the questions above and see what it takes to develop software with a security mindset throughout its life cycle. Come and look at software security from a different perspective that would make ALL the difference for you and your company.

Title: Responsibility for the Harm and Risk of Software Security Flaws

Abstract: Who is responsible for the harm and risk of security flaws? The advent of worldwide networks such as the internet made software security (or the lack of software security) became a problem of international proportions. There are no mathematical/statistical risk models available today to assess networked systems with interdependent failures. Without this tool, decision-makers are bound to overinvest in activities that don’t generate the desired return on investment or under invest on mitigations, risking dreadful consequences. Experience suggests that no party is solely responsible for the harm and risk of software security flaws but a model of partial responsibility can only emerge once the duties and motivations of all parties are examine and understood.

State of the art practices in software development won’t guarantee products free of flaws. The infinite principles of mathematics are not properly implemented in modern computer hardware without having to truncate numbers and calculations. Many of the most common operating systems, network protocols and programming languages used today were first conceived without the basic principles of security in mind. Compromises are made to maintain compatibility of newer versions of these systems with previous versions. Evolving software inherits all flaws and risks that are present in this layered and interdependent solution. Lastly, there are no formal ways to prove software correctness using neither mathematics nor definitive authority to assert the absence of vulnerabilities. The slightest coding error can lead to a fatal flaw. Without a doubt, vulnerabilities in software applications will continue to be part of our daily lives for years to come.

Decisions made by adopters such as whether to install a patch, upgrade a system or employed insecure configurations create externalities that have implications on the security of other systems. Proper cyber hygiene and education are vital to stop the proliferation of computer worms, viruses and botnets. Furthermore, end users, corporations and large governments directly influence software vendors’ decisions to invest on security by voting with their money every time software is purchased or pirated.

Security researchers largely influence the overall state of software security depending on the approach taken to disclose findings. While many believe full disclosure practices helped the software industry to advance security in the past, several of the most devastating computer worms were created by borrowing from information detailed by researcher’s full disclosure. Both incentives and penalties were created for security researchers: a number of stories of vendors suing security researchers are available in the press. Some countries enacted laws banning the use and development of “hacking tools”. At the same time, companies such as iDefense promoted the creation of a market for security vulnerabilities providing rewards that are larger than a year’s worth of salary for a software practitioner in countries such as China and India.

Effective policy and standards can serve as leverage to fix the problem either by providing incentives or penalties. Attempts such PCI created a perverse incentive that diverted decision makers’ goals to compliance instead of security. Stiff mandates and ineffective laws have been observed internationally. Given the fast pace of the industry, laws to combat software vulnerabilities may become obsolete before they are enacted. Alternatively, the government can use its own buying power to encourage adoption of good security standards. One example of this is the Federal Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC).

Title: Business Logic Attacks – BATs and BLBs

Other authors: Amichai Shulman, Rob Rachwald

Abstract: Cyber attacks are being committed more often by professionals, and are increasingly driven by financial motives. Researchers have discovered the increasing popularity of a certain class of attacks that target business logic. Business logic attacks are a set of legal application transactions that are used to carry out a malicious operation that is not part of normal business practices. For example, brute forcing coupon codes in an ecommerce application to receive multiple discounts. This presentation will provide a quick introduction to business logic attacks, their unique characteristics and the motivation behind their uptick. The session will suggest a classification method for these attacks from which attendees can draw a set of required mitigation capabilities. We will discuss capabilities required for detecting automated interaction with the application, different types of repetitions, flow tampering and even compromised credentials. We will also contemplate on the usage of mitigation techniques such as Captcha, introducing delays and more. Concluding this session we will bring up the claim that all these capabilities can be introduced in the form of a "virtual patch" using a web application firewall, rather than being exclusively fixed in application code.

Title: Taint Analysis of JavaScript Code to Detect Web Application Vulnerabilities

Abstract: Modern Web applications make increasing use of client-side code, with JavaScript being the most present in most of them. Several vulnerabilities are introduced through the careless use of this language. The publicly available analysis tools are usually based on pattern matching to find potential vulnerabilities, but this is not an efficient approach to analyze large amounts of code. Therefore, there is a need to develop tools to perform more advanced analysis like Taint Analysis and Symbolic Execution. This article discusses various approaches to dynamic analysis of JavaScript code and presents the JsInstrumentator tool, which is being developed by Conviso Security Labs.

Title: Exploring Three Modern Attack Vectors: Insiders, Industrialized and APTs

Abstract: Attacks are coming from all angles. In some cases they are very rudimentary; in others they are highly complex. Organizations must be able to protect themselves regardless, and do so in a way this is in parity with business operations, maintains employee and partner agility, and is manageable without the complexity of the solution being worse than the attack itself.

Failure to address these three different attack types can result in everything from diminished brand loyalty, regulatory penalties, and lost revenue, to stolen intellectual property, economic competitive disadvantage, and military competitive disadvantage. Based on research from McAfee Labs and customer interactions across the globe in the public and private sector, there is much information that can be shared about these attackers and their strategies.

Attendees will leave the presentation more knowledgeable about insider threats, industrialized hacking, and APTs. They will have a strong grasp of the attacker motives and understand their attack vectors. The audience will also be exposed to several non-vender, non-product specific countermeasures that they can leverage within their own organizations.

The Art and Science of Threat Modeling Web Applications
''' This tutorial is in English without translation. '''

Date and Time: November 17 (9AM to 6PM) Instructor: Mano Paul

Summary

To secure your home, you will first need to know how the thief could possibly enter and exit and where you should store your valuables. The same is true of your web applications. Unless you know what the vulnerabilities and threats of your web applications are, and what security measures you should take to protect them, ev1L h@x0rS or the enemy within (insider) could take advantage of the vulnerabilities.

Threat Modeling is a technique that you can use to identify ATVS (attacks, threats, vulnerabilities and safeguards) that could affect your web applications. Threat Modeling helps in designing your application securely from a confidentiality, integrity, availability, authentication, authorization and auditing perspective. It is an essential activity to be undertaken during the design stage of your SDLC and helps mitigate and minimize overall risk.

The proposed short course contributes to add new technological trends. The theme is quite interesting in relation to the great challenges of research in computing, since it fits naturally within the technological development of quality, encompassing making systems available, accurate, secure, scalable, persistent and ubiquitous, and notoriously, observing the conference area, which SOA, Web services and security are the subject of growing research in computing, as it is current and of interest to the academic community, as well as professionals who work in the labor market. The interest in SOA has grown in recent years because it is an approach that helps the system to remain flexible and scalable as they grow, and can also help to resolve the gap business / IT. Students and professionals will have the opportunity to understand the basics of vulnerability detection code level and also to detect attacks between protocols and mechanisms. The idea is that participants can use the knowledge gained in this brief short course for the development of distributed applications using Web services secure and obtain knowledge needed to diagnose and prevent attacks on this type of application.

Black-Box & White-Box ASP.NET Security Reviews using the OWASP O2 Platform
 Thsi tutorial will be in Portuguese with materials in English 

Date and time: November 16th (9AM to 6 PM) Instructor: Dinis Cruz

Summary

This is a hands-on Training course on how to use the OWASP O2 Platform to perform both Black-Box and White-Box security reviews on ASP.NET Web Applications

The course is designed for security consultants/developers who are responsible for performing Penetration Tests or Security Code Reviews. The course will show practical examples of how to use the OWASP O2 Platform to find, exploit and document security vulnerabities.

For the course's labs, a number of test and real-world applications/frameworks will be used. In order to give the students a benign test enviroment which is easy to replicate, the (vulnerable-by-design) HacmeBank ASP.NET banking application will be used throughout the course.

Topics


 * What is the OWASP O2 Platform and how to use it?
 * Using O2's Unit Tests for web exploration and browsing
 * Using O2's Unit Tests for web exploitation
 * Understanding and using O2's Web Automation Tools to find and exploit vulnerabilities in HacmeBank (Black-Box)
 * Understanding and using O2's AST .NET Scanner to find vulnerabilities in HacmeBank (White-Box)
 * Connecting the source-code traces with the web exploits to create a unified view of the vulnerabilties
 * Create 'Vulnerability-driven Unit Tests' to be delivered to Developers, QA/Testers and Managers
 * Customizing and writing new APIs (for new or modified frameworks)
 * Using O2 to consume results from open source tools and 3rd party commercial vendors
 * Case Study: Microsoft ASP.NET MVC
 * Case Study: Microsoft Sharpoint
