Breaking into the iCloud Keychain
by: Vladimir Katalov
(PDF) (Video)
Do you remember 'celebgate'? Well, iCloud is not just about backups and private pictures. There is quite a lot of data that is also being *synced* across all the devices, and so stored in the iCloud. iCloud Keychain (that keeps your passwords and credit card data) is the most protected data among all other iCloud-synced categories, but still there is a way to break into it, and funny enough, it is *easier* for the accounts with two-factor authentication enabled.
Bypass 2FA, Stealing Private Keys
by: Maxwell Koh
(PDF) (Video)
The "knowledge factor" (using passwords for authentication) will never be enough for security. We need the second layer of defense -- a "possession factor" or sometimes called the "Two-Factor Authentication", hence the term, "2FA". In fact, nowadays many organization plans to adopt password-free login to authenticate their systems, thereby completely replacing the password-based authentication with key-based authentication, which they believed is more secure because only the key owner capable to log in. However, the truth is far from reality. Although 2FA creates a formidable barrier against potential security breaches, however it doesn't guarantee much security at all, especially when it comes to the inefficacious and often futile private key protection. In that sense, we can say that the effectiveness of the 2FA depends on how well a user protects "something only the user has". What if there are ways to steal the private keys from someone, without performing social engineering? In this talk, I'll introduce and demonstrate the techniques to bypass Two-Factor Authentication. I'll show you in real life how an attacker steals the server/client certificates and obtaining the private keys, as well as presenting the impacts of the aftermath. I will also introduce my tool (2FAssassin) to exploit the vulnerabilities against the affected software which were responsible for causing the private keys extraction. I'll also show you how to compromise the system or possibly, even the entire network after you had stolen the private keys. Nevertheless, I will end the talk by giving recommendation to protect the private keys from been stolen, as well as what to do during the worst case scenario.
Demystifying The Ransomware and IoT Threat
by: Christopher Elisan
(PDF) (Video)
We have seen a rise in Ransomware attacks in the past year. While we are recovering from these attacks a new wave of DDoS attacks using IoT devices suddenly thrust into the limelight. In this talk, I will discuss all the stages of a ransomware attack. How it works and how a researcher can handle each of the stages with tried and true analysis techniques. I will then shed light on how IoT are used in DDoS attacks by discussing how the malware used in the latest IoT DDoS attack works and how it can be manipulated for future attacks. Then I will discuss how a combination of Ransomware and IoT attacks can be a bigger threat in years to come.
Dissecting Exploit Kits
by: Daniel Frank
(PDF) (Video)
The Exploit Kit market has been evolving during the past two years, while APJ users are among the most affected victims. The presentation will briefly overview the Exploit Kits market, guiding the audience through the infection flow, from the landing page, through malicious JS and Shellcode execution, to the final payload, such as Ransomware or Banking Trojans. Live demos of stepping through the infection flow of two Exploit Kit variants will include: JavaScript deobfuscation, Shellcode and other malicious payload Reverse Engineering and analysis.
Finding Your Way to Domain Admin Access and Even So, the Game Isn’t Over Yet.
by: Keith Lee
(PDF) (Video)
In this presentation, we discuss the tricky scenarios we faced during internal penetration test engagements and how we have developed a tool to solve those issues.
We want to fill the gap from after cracking a password hash (normal user) from NetBIOS/LLMNR/WPAD attacks to
compromising the entire Domain as well as solving a few tricky issues that we as penetration testers face.
Hacking Robots before Skynet
by: Lucas Apa
(PDF) (Video)
Robots are going mainstream. In the very near future robots will be everywhere, on military missions, performing surgery, building skyscrapers, assisting customers at stores, as healthcare attendants, as business assistants, as sex partners, cooking in homes, and interacting with our families.
While robot ecosystems grow and become more of a disrupting force in our society and economy, they pose more of a significant threat to people, animals, and organizations if the technology is not secure. When vulnerabilities are exploited in robots, physical features can be utilized by attackers to damage property, company finances, or cause unexpected consequences where human life can be endangered. Robots are essentially computers with arms, legs and wheels, so the potential threats to their physical surroundings increase exponentially and in ways not widely considered before in computer security.
In recent research, we discovered multiple critical vulnerabilities in home, business and industrial collaborative robots from well-known vendors. With responsible disclosure now completed, it’s time to reveal all the technical details, threats, and how attackers can compromise different robot ecosystem components with practical exploits. Live demos will showcase different exploitation scenarios that involve cyber espionage, harmful insider threats, property damage, and more.
Through realistic scenarios we will unveil how insecure modern robot technology can be and why hacked robots could be more dangerous than other insecure technologies. The goal is to make robots more secure and prevent vulnerabilities from being exploited by attackers to cause serious harm to businesses, consumers, and their surroundings.
HUNT: Data Driven Web Hacking & Manual Testing++
by: Jason Haddix
(PDF) (Video)
What if you could super-charge your web hacking? Not through pure automation (since it can miss so much) but through powerful alerts created from real threat intelligence? What if you had a Burp plugin that did this for you? What if that plugin not only told you where to look for vulns but also gave you curated resources for additional exploitation and methodology? What if you could organize your web hacking methodology inside of your tools? Well, now you do! HUNT is a new Burp Suite extension that aims to arm web hackers with parameter level suggestions on where to look for certain classes of vulnerabilities (SQLi, CMDi, LFI/RFI, and more!). This data is parsed from hundreds of real-world assessments, providing the user with the means to effectively root out critical issues. Not only will HUNT help you assess large targets more thoroughly but it also aims to organize common web hacking methodologies right inside of Burp suite. As an open source project, we will go over the data driven design of HUNT and it's core functionality.
Strategies on securing your banks & enterprises (from someone who robs banks & enterprises)
by: Jayson E. Street
(PDF) (Video)
People who work on the defensive side of computer security only see the landscape from that perspective! In this talk, Jayson will show how an attacker views your website & employees and then uses them against you. We'll start with how a successful spear phish is created. By using the information gathered from the companies’ own 'About' pages as well as scouring social media sites for useful information to exploit employees. The majority of the talk will be covering successful countermeasures to help stave off or detect attacks. This discussion will draw on the speaker’s 15 years’ experience of working in the US banking industry on the side of defense. At the same time, Jayson will be drawing on over 6 years of doing engagements where he took on the role of the attacker. If everything turns out well, everyone will have learned something new that they can immediately take back to their networks and better prepare them against attacks!
The rise of security assistants over security audit services.
by: Yury Chemerkin
(PDF) (Video)
Mobile applications have not only become daily things of our lives, but they have also become a part of XXI culture. Corporate IT and security professionals have same needs with typical customers who manage personal information only. To understand a security, users should keep in mind what happens with their OS, applications, and its data and divide risks into vulnerability and privacy group. The first group refers to actions that break either application or OS. It usually designed to rare involve any user actions to break security mechanisms and get access to user data. The second group refers to privacy issues and describes cases when data stored or transmitted insecurely.
Developers ignore the data protection until they faced something or someone who makes them implement a protection, as it should be designed. Developer's privacy policies describe how much every developer cares about data, protect everything and assure users his app provides 100% guarantees. Many security companies develop their risky applications to show customers how much good their data protected. They use (or develop their own) automatic scanners to analyze application code and provide an auto-generated report. Anyway, no one of them can clearly say what data items protected and how bad that protection is. In other words, should user worry about non-protected HTTP connection if he does not know what data transferred over it? The downloading news might be acceptable; transmitting device information, geolocation data and credentials over the network in plaintext is not acceptable. Same to out-of-date OS. Is previous version so bad to worry to rush into an update or not? How was many user data items consumed by 3rd party services like Google/Flurry analytics? The last question is usually how much money user data does worth? The cheapest software costs less than $50; the average one does in 10 times more and forensics software costs over thousand dollars up to $20,000 that gives access to thousand devices and million data items. The saddest part of this story is 'Speed-to-market' idea that helps them to grab data from thousand applications improperly protected, especially, if customers use same data among more than one applications and have at least one bad protected the application. More same data shared between applications and more applications you use, the higher risk of data leakage customers obtains eventually.
A new set of security challenges has been already raised. To answer this, we have been examining many applications to have the opportunity make results widely useful and available for IT and security professionals as well as non-technical customers to stay informed about app insecurity. The goal is integrating and introducing security, data privacy compliance to mobile application development and management. It helps to educate customers with useful security & privacy behavior mindset. Spreading information in different ways such as bulletins, EMM integrated monitoring service, or simple reports is a way to solve insecurity issues and help to reduce risks when using mobile applications.

Starting Your Bug Hunting Career Now by: Jay "shipcod3" Turla
It happened again today. Another security researcher has bagged 5k $ for a bug he reported to a certain company. It's all over Facebook and Twitter, "19 year old bug hunter finds a Remote Code Execution in an XYZ company". Another bug was released on full disclosure today to the security mailing lists and Twitter but it was not rewarded. It could have been a big scoop for a reward plus he can cooperate with the company without legal threats. He should have adhered to responsible disclosure. It's not too late for a certain individual like you whose crime is that of curiosity. Start bug hunting now and and jumpstart your career. Hack the planet legally and join me in this talk! Together, we will demystify what is bug hunting and how to start your bug hunting career. I am a security researcher and an application security engineer, this is my manifesto. Nobody can stop me, and nobody can certainly stop us all.
