POSITIVE HACK DAYS

Want to visit +132

Author: James Kettle

Existing web scanners search for server-side injection vulnerabilities by throwing a canned list of technology-specific payloads at a target and looking for signatures—almost like an anti-virus. The speaker will share with you key insights from the conception and development of an open-source scanner evolved from classic manual techniques that's capable of finding and confirming both known and unknown classes of injection vulnerabilities.

Do WAFs dream of static analyzers?

Want to visit +108

Author: Vladimir Kochetkov

Traditional WAFs regard the applications they protect as a black box: incoming HTTP requests and outgoing HTTP requests are the only means available for attack detection. Obviously, this information is not enough for formal proof, and WAF settles for heuristic approach. Even if we intercept all requests by an application to its environment (filesystem, sockets, BD), it only improves the quality of heuritsics, though it is in no way useful for switching to formal methods. But what if we build a WAF that would treat an application as a white box? What if it could handle the application model obtained as a result of the static code analysis? What if it would be possible to decide if an HTTP request is an attack as we run application code fragments?

Live hacking: how digital attackers are intruding into your systems

Want to visit +65

Author: Sebastian Schreiber

IT security incidents in the recent past demonstrate emphatically that the IT systems even in international high-tech companies and major state institutions don't have sufficient protection. Widespread IT quality assurance measures may suffice to safeguard 99% of systems. However, the decisive factor is that the remaining one percent provides a target for digital attacks. Every gap, however tiny, is sufficient to render an otherwise well-secured IT infrastructure vulnerable in its entirety. During a live hacking presentation, the speaker will perform different attacks on IT systems. He will show that it is astonishingly easy to bypass protective measures in order to access sensitive information.

Using the event types relationship graph for data correlation in SIEM systems

Want to visit +59

Authors: Andrey Fedorchenko, Andrey Chechulin, and Igor Kotenko

The talk will focus on correlation-related research for SIEM systems based on the structural analysis of types of security events. The speakers provide an approach to automated analysis, which considers security events as input data with dynamic content. A graph of event types with direct and indirect relationships between them is suggested for automated analysis. Handling of input security data involves functional and behavioral analysis performed by calculating the frequency-time characteristics of events, classifying events by severity, and creating behavior patterns. The suggested approach allows you to use rank correlation, along with other intelligent techniques. Requirements for normalization of source data are also stated. The speakers will demonstrate an analysis of security event log and event types relationship graph resulting from this analysis.

Finding your way to domain admin access—and even so, the game isn't over yet

Want to visit +57

Author: Keith Lee

There are scenarios where getting domain admin access doesn't mean you have access to all hosts, shares, or databases in the network. The tricky part for an attacker is to find the right account to get in and out of the environment fast. In this presentation, the speaker will discuss the tricky scenarios his team faced during internal penetration test engagements and will tell how they developed a tool to solve those issues.

Linux kernel HTTPS/TCP/IP stack for HTTP DDoS mitigation

Want to visit +49

Author: Alexander Krizhanovsky

The talk describes an extension of the Linux TCP/IP stack, so that HTTPS works in the same stack with TCP and IP. Application-layer HTTP DDoS attacks are usually mitigated by HTTP accelerators or HTTP load balancers. However, Linux socket interface used by the software doesn't provide reasonable performance for extreme loads caused by DDoS attacks. HTTP servers based on user space TCP/IP stacks are becoming popular due to their better performance, but TCP/IP stacks are huge and complex code, so it's not wise to implement and run it twice in user and kernel spaces. Kernel TCP/IP stack is well integrated with many powerful tools like IPTables, IPVS, tc, tcpdump that are unavailable for a user space TCP/IP stack or require complex interfaces. The speaker will present Tempesta FW, which introduces HTTPS processing to the kernel. HTTPS is built into the Linux TCP/IP stack. As an HTTP firewall, Tempesta FW implements a set of rate limits and heuristics to defend against HTTPS floods and Slow HTTP attacks.

Security Path: Dev vs Manage vs Hack

Want to visit +29

Authors: Dmitry Mannanikov and Mikhail Levin

We all started our career either as engineers or as operators—developed and created systems, experimented with design and research. But eventually each of us has come up to the question: what to do next, in a year or two, and what we would like to become in five or ten years. How to create a career in the security area? What would help in development, and what can be a dead end both for hackers and defenders? Is it possible to be a bug hunter throughout all life or shifting to a paperwork expert or people manager is inevitable? What is more attractive to hack and design: software or bulletproof enterprise processes? Specialists thinking about their future and managers guiding their staff in development are welcome.
