Philip R. Zimmermann: The Unveiling of My Next Big Project

June 4, 2006 • 50 mins
Philip R. Zimmermann is the creator of Pretty Good Privacy. For that, he was the target of a three-year criminal investigation, because the government held that US export restrictions for cryptographic software were violated when PGP spread all around the world following its 1991 publication as freeware. Despite the lack of funding, the lack of any paid staff, the lack of a company to stand behind it, and despite government persecu...

Eugene Tsyrklevich: Ozone HIPS: Unbreakable Windows

June 4, 2006 • 76 mins
Windows is the number one target on the Internet today. It takes less than 5 minutes for an unpatched Windows machine, connected to the Internet, to get owned. Yet the most prevalent security practices still consist of running anti-viruses and constant patching. This presentation introduces a new tool, called Ozone, that is designed to protect against most of the commonly exploited attack vectors. To protect against the most com...

Michael Sutton and Adam Greene: The Art of File Format Fuzzing

June 4, 2006 • 43 mins
In September 2004, much hype was made of a buffer overflow vulnerability that existed in the Microsoft engine responsible for processing JPEG files. While the resulting vulnerability itself was nothing new, the fact that a vulnerability could be caused by a non-executable file commonly traversing public and private networks was reason for concern. File format vulnerabilities are emerging as more and more frequent attack vector. The...

Robert Morris: The Non-Cryptographic Ways of Losing Information

June 4, 2006 • 62 mins
To fully understand how to protect crucial information in the modern world, one needs to fully understand how the modern spy steals it. Since the glorious days of cryptanalysis during World War II, the art of stealing and protecting information has drastically changed. Using over 25 years of NSA field-stories, this talk will highlight the lesser-known world of stealing data: eavesdropping, theft, purchase, burglary, blackmail, brib...

Barnaby Jack: Remote Windows Kernel Exploitation - Step In To the Ring 0

June 4, 2006 • 36 mins
Almost every possible method and technique regarding Windows exploitation has been discussed in depth. Surprisingly, a topic that has rarely been touched on publicly is the remote exploitation of Win32 kernel vulnerabilities; a number of kernel vulnerabilities have been published, yet no exploit code has surfaced in the public arena. I predict we will see more kernel vulnerabilities in the future, as more core networking components...

Akshay Aggarwal: Rapid Threat Modeling

June 4, 2006 • 25 mins
One of the most important weapons in our arsenal for securing applications is threat modeling. Applications are becoming increasingly complex and new technologies are emerging constantly. In this scenario, building or attacking applications is challenging. Threat models can help attackers discover design vulnerabilities and mount complex attacks. These models give secure application developers a great amount of leverage to envision...

Adam L. Young: Building Robust Backdoors In Secret Symmetric Ciphers

June 4, 2006 • 48 mins
This talk will present recent advances in the design of robust cryptographic backdoors in secret symmetric ciphers (i.e., classified or proprietary ciphers). The problem directly affects end-users since corporations and governments have in the past produced secret symmetric ciphers for general use (e.g., RC4 and Skipjack, respectively). The problem itself is challenging since it involves leaking secret key material in the cipher...

spoonm and skape: Beyond EIP

June 4, 2006 • 30 mins
When we built Metasploit, our focus was on the exploit development process. We tried to design a system that helped create reliable and robust exploits. While this is obviously very important, it's only the first step in the process. What do you do once you own EIP? Our presentation will concentrate on the recent advancements in shellcode, IDS/firewall evasion, and post-exploitation systems. We will discuss the design and imple...

Alex Stamos and Scott Stender: Attacking Web Services: The Next Generation of Vulnerable Enterprise Apps

June 4, 2006 • 72 mins
Web Services represent a new and unexplored set of security-sensitive technologies that have been widely deployed by large companies, governments, financial institutions, and in consumer applications. Unfortunately, the attributes that make web services attractive, such as their ease of use, platform independence, use of HTTP and powerful functionality, also make them a great target for attack. In this talk, we will explain t...

Sherri Sparks and Jamie Butler: "Shadow Walker" - Raising The Bar For Rootkit Detection

June 4, 2006 • 74 mins
Last year at Black Hat, we introduced the rootkit FU. FU took an unprecented approach to hiding not previously seen before in a Windows rootkit. Rather than patching code or modifying function pointers in well known operating system structures like the system call table, FU demonstrated that is was possible to control the execution path indirectly by modifying private kernel objects in memory. This technique was coined DKOM, or Dir...

Derek Soeder and Ryan Permeh: eEye BootRoot

June 4, 2006 • 73 mins
This presentation will cover the eEye BootRoot project, an exploration of technology that boot sector code can use to subvert the Windows NT-family kernel and retain the potential for execution, even after Windows startup-a topic made apropos by the recent emergence of Windows rootkits into mainstream awareness. We will provide some brief but technical background on the Windows startup process, then discuss BootRoot and related tec...

The days of the corporate network, completely isolated with a well-secured outer shell are long gone; yet we continue to cling to this model. Global networks with no borders, offer the potential of substantial savings in communications costs, maximum network agility and instant connectivity for clients and partners. Can you secure this incredibly compelling business model, and provide a long-term business case for security where...

How far can automation be taken? How much intelligence can be embodied in code? How generic can automated IT security assessment tools really be? This presentation will attempt to show which areas of attacks lend themselves to automation and which aspects should best be left for manual human inspection and analyses. SensePost will provide the audience a glimpse of BiDiBLAH - an attempt to automate a focussed yet comprehensive as...

Mike Pomraning: Injection Flaws: Stop Validating Your Input

June 4, 2006 • 29 mins
Years after the debut of XSS and SQL Injection, each passing week sees newly disclosed vulnerabilities ready to be exploited by these same techniques. Labelling all of these as "input validation flaws" isn't helping anymore. In this Turbo Talk we turn the situation upside-down to get a better perspective, and cover specific techniques to address the problems. Mike Pomraning is a systems and process troubleshooter, fi...
