Cross Site Scripting (XSS) is a vulnerability that allows malicious users to insert client-side code into web pages that is then executed by a user's browser. This code can steal cookies, access private information, perform actions on the user's behalf, and redirect them to malicious websites. XSS works by having the server display input containing malicious JavaScript from a request. There are different types of XSS attacks, including non-persistent, persistent, and DOM-based attacks. Prevention methods include validating, sanitizing, and escaping all user input on the server-side and client-side. Web vulnerability scanners like Burp Suite can help test for XSS and other vulnerabilities.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a type of vulnerability in web applications that allows attackers to inject client-side scripts. There are three main types of XSS - reflected XSS occurs when malicious scripts are included in links or requests to the server, stored XSS happens when scripts are stored on the server through forums or comments, and local XSS executes without contacting the server through PDFs or Flash. XSS can lead to compromised user accounts, denial of service attacks, or access to users' local machines. Developers can prevent XSS through input validation, encoding output, and keeping software updated.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) is the most common web application vulnerability. There are three main types of XSS attacks: reflected XSS, stored XSS, and DOM-based XSS. Reflected XSS occurs when malicious scripts are included in hyperlinks and infect the victim's browser when the link is clicked. Stored XSS involves injecting malicious scripts into the application itself, which are then executed when users access stored information. DOM-based XSS modifies the DOM environment used by client-side scripts, causing them to run unexpectedly and potentially harmfully. All XSS attacks allow attackers to hijack user sessions, insert hostile content, and fully compromise users. Applications can prevent XSS by validating all input

Internet banking safeguards vulnerabilities - OWASP AppSec EU 2016
Presentation from OWASP AppSec EU 2016 Rome
All internet banking applications are different but all of them share many common security features which are very specific to this domain of web applications, such as:
• transaction limits,
• notifications via SMS or e-mail,
• authorization schemes,
• trusted recipients,
• two-factor authentication and transaction authorization,
• pay-by-links,
• communication channel activation (e.g. mobile banking or IVR),
It is not very rare that these safeguards are incorrectly implemented leaving the internet banking application vulnerable.
Last year at AppSec EU I was talking about common vulnerabilities in e-banking transaction authorization. As a follow-up to this presentation, OWASP Transaction Authorization Cheat Sheet was published and gained some attention from banks, developers and testers. This year, I want to continue and expand this work to other security mechanisms which are specific and common to internet banking applications. During my presentation I want to show some common mistakes made during implementation of the abovementioned internet banking safeguards.
As a follow-up, I am planning to expand OWASP Transaction Authorization Cheat Sheet to Internet Banking Cheat Sheet which will include guidelines for secure implementation of all security mechanisms common to contemporary internet banking applications. At the end of my presentation, I also want to discuss the idea of expanding key OWASP materials such as ASVS, Testing Guide, Development guide by adding appendixes specific to group of applications (such as internet/mobile banking, e-commerce, etc.).

The document discusses cross-site tracing (XST), a new web security attack technique that can bypass the HTTP-only security mechanism in Internet Explorer 6 SP1. XST uses the HTTP TRACE request method to echo back request headers, including authentication cookies, allowing an attacker to access credentials from any site. The document provides background on the TRACE method and how it is enabled by default on many web servers. It also explains the HTTP-only cookie option that aims to prevent access to cookies via JavaScript but is circumvented by XST.
1) HTML5 and new web standards like Content Security Policy and cross-origin resource sharing improve security by enabling enforcement of policies like script isolation in the client instead of through server-side filtering.
2) Script injection vulnerabilities like cross-site scripting can be solved using these new client-side techniques rather than incomplete server-side simulations.
3) Mashups can be made more secure by using CORS to retrieve validated data instead of injecting code, and postMessage with isolated iframes to communicate with legacy APIs.
The document discusses a new web security technique called cross-site tracing (XST) that can bypass the HTTP-only security feature in Internet Explorer 6 SP1 and perform cross-site scripting attacks. XST exploits the TRACE HTTP request method, which echoes request information to the client, to obtain authentication cookies from other domains over HTTP and HTTPS. While HTTP-only helps prevent cookie access via JavaScript, XST can still access cookies through TRACE requests.

The presentation recommended hardening websites by validating input, protecting sensitive functionality, finding vulnerabilities through assessments, and using web application firewalls.
Web Application Security: The Land that Information Security Forgot
Web Application Security: The Land that Information Security Forgot
Today, the vast majority of those within information security have heard about web application security and posses at least a vague understanding of the risks involved. However, the multitude of attacks which make this area of security important, for the most part, go undocumented, unexplained and misunderstood. As a result, our web applications become undefended and at the mercy of a determined attacker. In order to gain a deeper understanding of the threats, witnessing these attacks first hand is essential.
Make no mistake, insecure and unprotected web applications are the fastest, easiest, and arguably the most utilized route to compromise networks and exploit users. What's worse is that conventional security measures lack the proper safeguards and offer little protection, resulting in nothing more than a "false sense of security".
This discussion will cover theory surrounding some of the more dangerous web application attacks, examples of the attack in action, and possible countermeasures.
Founder and chairman of WhiteHat Security, and former information security officer with Yahoo!. As information security officer at Yahoo!, Jeremiah was designing, auditing, and penetration-testing the huge company's web applications which demand highest security.
During his past 5 years of employment, Jeremiah has been researching and applying information security with special emphasis on prevention of web application sabotage. Grossman has presented "Web Application Security" talks at many security conventions such as the Defcon, Air Force and Technology Conference, ToorCon, and others.
Jeremiah is a lead contributor to the "Open Web Application Security Project" www.owasp.com and considered to be among the foremost web security experts.
Raúl Siles - Browser Exploitation for Fun and Profit Revolutions [RootedCON 2...
This document summarizes an upcoming presentation on browser exploitation techniques. It will discuss previous episodes on the topic, the state of cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities, a new type of non-persistent global or URL-based XSS, exploiting mobile devices through multiple technologies like SMS and Bluetooth, and demonstrating exploitation using tools like BeEF and Metasploit. The presentation aims to show how easily a browser can be attacked and to change perceptions of XSS vulnerabilities.
Rich Web App Security - Keeping your application safe
The document discusses securing web applications from common vulnerabilities like cross-site scripting (XSS) and cross-site request forgery (CSRF). It outlines various techniques attackers use to exploit these issues, such as injecting malicious scripts into user input or forging unauthorized requests. The document then provides recommendations for developers to prevent these attacks, such as carefully validating and encoding all user input, and authenticating that requests are intended by the user.
The open source TodoMVC project implements a Todo application using popular JavaScript MV* frameworks. Some of the implementations add support for compile to JavaScript languages, module loaders and real time backends. This presentation will demonstrate a TodoMVC implementation which adds support for the forthcoming W3C Web Cryptography API, as well as review some key cryptographic concepts and definitions.
Instead of storing the Todo list as plaintext in localStorage, this "secure" TodoMVC implementation encrypts Todos using a password derived key. The PBKDF2 algorithm is used for the deriveKey operation, with getRandomValues generating a cryptographically random salt. The importKey method sets up usage of AES-CBC for both encrypt and decrypt operations. The final solution helps address item "A6-Sensitive Data Exposure" from the OWASP Top 10.
With the Web Cryptography API being a recommendation in 2014, any Q&A time will likely include browser implementations and limitations, and whether JavaScript cryptography adds any value.
Building Secure User Interfaces With JWTs (JSON Web Tokens)

The document also provides examples of encoding payloads in complex ways like JS-F**K to evade WAF signature rules.
Cross Site Scripting (XSS) is a type of injection attack where malicious scripts are injected into otherwise benign and trusted websites. XSS has been a top web application vulnerability since 1996. There are three main types of XSS attacks: reflected XSS, stored XSS, and DOM-based XSS. Reflected XSS occurs when malicious scripts come from URLs, while stored XSS happens when scripts are stored on websites. XSS can be used to steal cookies and sessions, redirect users, alter website contents, and damage an organization's reputation. Developers can prevent XSS through input validation, output encoding, and using the HttpOnly flag.

Eternal Blue was a cyberattack exploit developed by the NSA that was leaked in 2017 and used in several ransomware attacks. It allowed remote code execution via SMBv1 by exploiting three bugs related to incorrect data type casting, transaction parsing, and memory allocation. While patches were released, many systems remained unpatched, allowing the widespread use of Eternal Blue in attacks like WannaCry and NotPetya.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) allows malicious code injection into web applications. There are three types of XSS vulnerabilities: non-persistent, persistent, and DOM-based. To avoid XSS, developers should eliminate scripts, secure cookies, validate input, and filter/escape output. Proper coding practices can help prevent XSS attacks.

Internet banking safeguards vulnerabilities - OWASP AppSec EU 2016SecuRing
Presentation from OWASP AppSec EU 2016 Rome
All internet banking applications are different but all of them share many common security features which are very specific to this domain of web applications, such as:
• transaction limits,
• notifications via SMS or e-mail,
• authorization schemes,
• trusted recipients,
• two-factor authentication and transaction authorization,
• pay-by-links,
• communication channel activation (e.g. mobile banking or IVR),
It is not very rare that these safeguards are incorrectly implemented leaving the internet banking application vulnerable.
Last year at AppSec EU I was talking about common vulnerabilities in e-banking transaction authorization. As a follow-up to this presentation, OWASP Transaction Authorization Cheat Sheet was published and gained some attention from banks, developers and testers. This year, I want to continue and expand this work to other security mechanisms which are specific and common to internet banking applications. During my presentation I want to show some common mistakes made during implementation of the abovementioned internet banking safeguards.
As a follow-up, I am planning to expand OWASP Transaction Authorization Cheat Sheet to Internet Banking Cheat Sheet which will include guidelines for secure implementation of all security mechanisms common to contemporary internet banking applications. At the end of my presentation, I also want to discuss the idea of expanding key OWASP materials such as ASVS, Testing Guide, Development guide by adding appendixes specific to group of applications (such as internet/mobile banking, e-commerce, etc.).

It argues that cyber security must be an important part of developing the information society and requires new technologies, policies, legislation, organizations, education, and cooperation across different levels including individuals, organizations, states, allies and the world. The document uses Estonia as an example of implementing different cyber security measures across these levels.
This year WhiteHat SecurityTM celebrates its fteenth anniversary, and the eleventh year that we have produced the Web Applications Security Statistics Report. The stats shared in this report are based on the aggregation of all the scanning and remediation data obtained from applications that used the WhiteHat SentinelTM service for application security testing in 2015. As an early pioneer in the Application Security Market, WhiteHat has a large and unique collection of data to work with.
This document introduces the concept of ethical hacking. It begins by defining hacking as finding solutions to real-life problems, and clarifies that the original meaning of "hack" was not related to computers. It then discusses how the term entered computer culture at MIT in the 1960s, where hackers were students who solved problems in innovative ways, unlike "tools" who just attended class. The document outlines some traits of good hacks and provides examples. It emphasizes that media misconstrues hackers as criminals, and explains that real hackers have strong ethics and help catch cyber criminals, unlike crackers who hack systems illegally. The rest of the document provides an overview of skills, subjects, and basic concepts needed for ethical hacking.
This document discusses ethical hacking. It defines ethical hacking as testing systems for security purposes with permission, compared to cracking which is hacking without permission for malicious reasons. It outlines different types of hackers like script kiddies, white hat hackers who hack legally for security work, grey hat hackers who can help or harm, and black hat hackers who hack criminally. The document advises on security practices like using antiviruses and strong passwords to prevent hacking.
This document provides an overview of security and hacking. It defines security as protection from harm and defines differences between security and protection. It then discusses what hacking and hackers are, provides a brief history of hacking from the 1960s to present day, and describes different types of hackers like white hat and black hat hackers. The document also outlines the hacking process and some common tools used. It lists some famous hackers and recent news stories about hacking.
The document discusses ethical hacking and describes hackers. It defines ethical hacking as evaluating a system's security vulnerabilities by attempting to break into computer systems. Ethical hackers possess strong programming and networking skills and detailed hardware/software knowledge. They evaluate systems by determining what intruders can access, what they can do with that information, and if intruder attempts can be detected. The document outlines different types of hackers and classes them as black hats, white hats, gray hats, and ethical hackers based on their motivations and how they use their skills.
Cyber security involves protecting computers, networks, programs and data from unauthorized access and cyber attacks. It includes communication security, network security and information security to safeguard organizational assets. Cyber crimes are illegal activities that use digital technologies and networks, and include hacking, data and system interference, fraud, and illegal device usage. Some early forms of cyber crime date back to the 1970s. Maintaining antivirus software, firewalls, backups and strong passwords can help protect against cyber threats while being mindful of privacy and security settings online. The document provides an overview of cyber security, cyber crimes, their history and basic safety recommendations.
Cyber crime involves unlawful activities using computers and the internet. The document categorizes cyber crimes as those using computers to attack other computers or as tools to enable real-world crimes. It provides examples of various cyber crimes like hacking, child pornography, viruses, and cyber terrorism. It stresses the importance of cyber security to defend against attacks through prevention, detection and response. The document advises safety tips like using antivirus software, firewalls, and strong passwords. India's cyber laws address both traditional crimes committed online and new crimes defined in the Information Technology Act.
This document provides an overview of hacking, including its history, definitions, types, famous hackers, reasons for hacking, and advice on security and ethics.

The document discusses cross-site tracing (XST), a new web security attack technique that can bypass the HTTP-only security mechanism in Internet Explorer 6 SP1. XST uses the HTTP TRACE request method to echo back request headers, including authentication cookies, allowing an attacker to access credentials from any site. The document provides background on the TRACE method and how it is enabled by default on many web servers. It also explains the HTTP-only cookie option that aims to prevent access to cookies via JavaScript but is circumvented by XST.
1) HTML5 and new web standards like Content Security Policy and cross-origin resource sharing improve security by enabling enforcement of policies like script isolation in the client instead of through server-side filtering.
2) Script injection vulnerabilities like cross-site scripting can be solved using these new client-side techniques rather than incomplete server-side simulations.
3) Mashups can be made more secure by using CORS to retrieve validated data instead of injecting code, and postMessage with isolated iframes to communicate with legacy APIs.
The document discusses a new web security technique called cross-site tracing (XST) that can bypass the HTTP-only security feature in Internet Explorer 6 SP1 and perform cross-site scripting attacks. XST exploits the TRACE HTTP request method, which echoes request information to the client, to obtain authentication cookies from other domains over HTTP and HTTPS. While HTTP-only helps prevent cookie access via JavaScript, XST can still access cookies through TRACE requests.

Website hacking and prevention (All Tools,Topics & Technique )Jay Nagar
This document discusses the Heartbleed vulnerability in OpenSSL and its potential impacts. Heartbleed is a bug in the OpenSSL cryptography library that exposes the contents of the server's memory, including private keys and user session cookies. An attacker can exploit Heartbleed to steal sensitive data from vulnerable servers or impersonate services. The vulnerability had widespread implications because OpenSSL is used to secure a majority of websites. While patching servers and changing passwords addressed direct theft of information, Heartbleed also weakened the security of encrypted communications and online identities.
This document provides an introduction to web security and the browser security model. It discusses goals of web security including safely browsing the web and supporting secure web applications. It outlines common web threat models and covers topics like HTTP, rendering content, isolation using frames and same-origin policy, communication between frames, frame navigation policies, client state using cookies, and clickjacking. The document aims to provide background knowledge on how the web and browsers work from a security perspective.
The document discusses cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. It defines XSS as allowing malicious scripts to be served to users from a vulnerable website. There are different types of XSS vulnerabilities including those without storage and with storage of malicious scripts on the website. The document provides examples of XSS vulnerabilities and discusses how they can be used to steal user credentials and track users. It also outlines challenges in preventing XSS vulnerabilities.
Jeremiah Grossman and T.C. Niedzialkowski presented on the dangers of JavaScript malware exploiting vulnerabilities to hack intranet websites from outside the network. They demonstrated how JavaScript malware can steal browser history, fingerprint servers, and change router passwords by exploiting vulnerabilities like cross-site scripting and cross-site request forgery. The presentation recommended hardening websites by validating input, protecting sensitive functionality, finding vulnerabilities through assessments, and using web application firewalls.
Web Application Security: The Land that Information Security ForgotJeremiah Grossman
Web Application Security: The Land that Information Security Forgot
Today, the vast majority of those within information security have heard about web application security and posses at least a vague understanding of the risks involved. However, the multitude of attacks which make this area of security important, for the most part, go undocumented, unexplained and misunderstood. As a result, our web applications become undefended and at the mercy of a determined attacker. In order to gain a deeper understanding of the threats, witnessing these attacks first hand is essential.
Make no mistake, insecure and unprotected web applications are the fastest, easiest, and arguably the most utilized route to compromise networks and exploit users. What's worse is that conventional security measures lack the proper safeguards and offer little protection, resulting in nothing more than a "false sense of security".
This discussion will cover theory surrounding some of the more dangerous web application attacks, examples of the attack in action, and possible countermeasures.
Founder and chairman of WhiteHat Security, and former information security officer with Yahoo!. As information security officer at Yahoo!, Jeremiah was designing, auditing, and penetration-testing the huge company's web applications which demand highest security.
During his past 5 years of employment, Jeremiah has been researching and applying information security with special emphasis on prevention of web application sabotage. Grossman has presented "Web Application Security" talks at many security conventions such as the Defcon, Air Force and Technology Conference, ToorCon, and others.
Jeremiah is a lead contributor to the "Open Web Application Security Project" www.owasp.com and considered to be among the foremost web security experts.
Raúl Siles - Browser Exploitation for Fun and Profit Revolutions [RootedCON 2...RootedCON
This document summarizes an upcoming presentation on browser exploitation techniques. It will discuss previous episodes on the topic, the state of cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities, a new type of non-persistent global or URL-based XSS, exploiting mobile devices through multiple technologies like SMS and Bluetooth, and demonstrating exploitation using tools like BeEF and Metasploit. The presentation aims to show how easily a browser can be attacked and to change perceptions of XSS vulnerabilities.
Rich Web App Security - Keeping your application safeJeremiah Grossman
The document discusses securing web applications from common vulnerabilities like cross-site scripting (XSS) and cross-site request forgery (CSRF). It outlines various techniques attackers use to exploit these issues, such as injecting malicious scripts into user input or forging unauthorized requests. The document then provides recommendations for developers to prevent these attacks, such as carefully validating and encoding all user input, and authenticating that requests are intended by the user.
Securing TodoMVC Using the Web Cryptography APIKevin Hakanson
The open source TodoMVC project implements a Todo application using popular JavaScript MV* frameworks. Some of the implementations add support for compile to JavaScript languages, module loaders and real time backends. This presentation will demonstrate a TodoMVC implementation which adds support for the forthcoming W3C Web Cryptography API, as well as review some key cryptographic concepts and definitions.
Instead of storing the Todo list as plaintext in localStorage, this "secure" TodoMVC implementation encrypts Todos using a password derived key. The PBKDF2 algorithm is used for the deriveKey operation, with getRandomValues generating a cryptographically random salt. The importKey method sets up usage of AES-CBC for both encrypt and decrypt operations. The final solution helps address item "A6-Sensitive Data Exposure" from the OWASP Top 10.
With the Web Cryptography API being a recommendation in 2014, any Q&A time will likely include browser implementations and limitations, and whether JavaScript cryptography adds any value.
Building Secure User Interfaces With JWTs (JSON Web Tokens)Stormpath
With new tools like Angular.js and Node.js, it is easier than ever to build User Interfaces and Single-Page Applications (SPAs) backed by APIs.

Similar to Top Ten Web Hacking Techniques of 2012 (20)
There is a serious misalignment of interests between Application Security vulnerability assessment vendors and their customers. Vendors are incentivized to report everything they possible can, even issues that rarely matter. On the other hand, customers just want the vulnerability reports that are likely to get them hacked. Every finding beyond that is a waste of time, money, and energy, which is precisely what’s happening every day.
How to Determine Your Attack Surface in the Healthcare SectorJeremiah Grossman
This document provides an analysis of the attack surface for 19 major healthcare organizations based on data collected by Bit Discovery from public sources on the internet. It includes statistics on each organization's total assets, domain names, cloud assets, use of content delivery networks, certificate authorities, expired certificates, geographic distribution, private IP addresses, WordPress vulnerabilities, and recommendations for building a security program around mapping the attack surface.
Exploring the Psychological Mechanisms used in Ransomware Splash ScreensJeremiah Grossman
The present study examined a selection of 76 ransomware splash screens collected from a variety of sources. These splash screens were analysed according to surface information, including aspects of visual appearance, the use of language, cultural icons, payment and payment types. The results from the current study showed that, whilst there was a wide variation in the construction of ransomware splash screens, there was a good degree of commonality, particularly in terms of the structure and use of key aspects of social engineering used to elicit payment from the victims. There was the emergence of a sub-set of ransomware that, in the context of this report, was termed ‘Cuckoo’ ransomware. This type of attack often purported to be from an official source requesting payment for alleged transgressions.
What the Kidnapping & Ransom Economy Teaches Us About RansomwareJeremiah Grossman
Ransomware is center stage, as campaigns are practically guaranteed financial gain. Cyber-criminals profit hundreds of millions of dollars by selling our data back to us. If you look closely, the ransomware economic dynamics closely follow the real-world kidnapping and ransom industry. We’ll explore the eerie similarities, where ransomware is headed, and strategies we can bring to the fight.

This document provides an overview and buyer's guide for next generation endpoint protection (NGEP). It discusses the limitations of traditional antivirus software and the evolving threat landscape. A new behavior-based approach using NGEP is presented as a solution. Key criteria for evaluating NGEP vendors are outlined, including the critical capabilities an effective solution should provide. SentinelOne is presented as an NGEP option, highlighting its behavior monitoring approach and ability to detect, prevent, and remediate both known and unknown threats.
Ransomware is Here: Fundamentals Everyone Needs to KnowJeremiah Grossman
If you’re an IT professional, you probably know at least the basics of ransomware. Instead of using malware or an exploit to exfiltrate PII from an enterprise, bad actors instead find valuable data and encrypt it. Unless you happen to have an NSA-caliber data center at your disposal to break the encryption, you must pay your attacker in cold, hard bitcoins—or else wave goodbye to your PII. Those assumptions aren’t wrong, but they also don’t tell the whole picture.
During this event we’ll discuss topics such as:
Why Ransomware is Exploding
The growth of ransomware, as opposed to garden-variety malware, is enormous. Hackers have found that they can directly monetize the data they encrypt, which eliminates the time-consuming process of selling stolen data on the Darknet. In addition, the use of ransomware requires little in the way of technical skill—because attackers don’t need to get root on a victim’s machine.
Who the Real Targets Are
Two years ago, the most newsworthy victims of ransomware were various police departments. This year, everyone is buzzing about hospitals. Is this a deliberate pattern? Probably not. Enterprises are so ill-prepared for ransomware that attackers have a green field to wreak havoc. Until the industry shapes up, bad actors will target ransomware indiscriminately.
Where Ransomware Stumbles
Although ransomware is nearly impossible to dislodge when employed correctly, you may be surprised to find that not all bad actors have the skill to do it. Even if ransomware targets your network, you may learn that your attackers have used extremely weak encryption—or that they’ve encrypted files that are entirely non-critical.
As far as ransomware is concerned, forewarned is forearmed. Once you know how attackers deliver ransomware, who they’re likely to attack, and the weaknesses in the ransomware deployment model, you’ll be able to understand how to protect your enterprise.
15 Years of Web Security: The Rebellious Teenage YearsJeremiah Grossman
Jeremiah Grossman is the founder of WhiteHat Security, a company that helps secure websites by finding vulnerabilities in source code and production and helping companies fix them. Organized crime has become the most frequent threat actor for web app attacks according to Verizon. Many websites remain vulnerable for long periods, with 60% of retail sites always vulnerable. Compliance is the top priority for resolving vulnerabilities according to 15% of respondents, while risk reduction is the top priority for 35% of respondents.
15 Years of Web Security: The Rebellious Teenage YearsJeremiah Grossman
This document summarizes Jeremiah Grossman's 15 years of experience in web security and the state of application security.

Where Flow Charts Don’t Go -- Website Security Statistics Report (2015)Jeremiah Grossman
WhiteHat Security’s Website Security Statistics Report provides a one-of-a-kind perspective on the state of website security and the issues that organizations must address in order to conduct business online safely.
Website security is an ever-moving target. New website launches are common, new code is released constantly, new web technologies are created and adopted every day; as a result, new attack techniques are frequently disclosed that can put every online business at risk. In order to stay protected, enterprises must receive timely information about how they
can most efficiently defend their websites, gain visibility into
the performance of their security programs, and learn how they compare with their industry peers. Obtaining these insights
is crucial in order to stay ahead and truly improve enterprise website security.
To help, WhiteHat Security has been publishing its Website Security Statistics Report since 2006. This report is the only one that focuses exclusively on unknown vulnerabilities in custom web applications, code that is unique to an organization, and found in real-world websites. The underlying data is hundreds of terabytes in size, comprises vulnerability assessment results from tens of thousands of websites across hundreds of the most well- known organizations, and collectively represents the largest and most accurate picture of website security available. Inside this report is information about the most prevalent vulnerabilities, how many get fixed, how long the fixes can take on average, and how every application security program may measurably improve. The report is organized by industry, and is accompanied by WhiteHat Security’s expert analysis and recommendations.
This document is a website security statistics report from 2015 that analyzes vulnerability data from tens of thousands of websites. Some of the key findings include:
- Compliance-driven organizations have the lowest average number of vulnerabilities but the highest remediation rates, while risk reduction-driven organizations have more vulnerabilities but fix them faster.
- Feeding vulnerability results back to development teams significantly reduces vulnerabilities, speeds up fixes, and increases remediation rates.
- Performing static code analysis more frequently is correlated with faster vulnerability fix times.
- Ad hoc code reviews of high-risk applications appear to be one of the most effective activities at reducing vulnerabilities.
- There is no clear evidence that any particular "best practice"
No More Snake Oil: Why InfoSec Needs Security GuaranteesJeremiah Grossman
Ever notice how everything in InfoSec is sold “as is”? No guarantees, no warrantees, no return policies. For some reason in InfoSec, providing customers with a form of financial coverage for their investment is seen as gimmicky, but the tides and times are changing. This talk discusses use cases on why guarantees are a must have and how guarantees benefit customers as well as InfoSec as a whole.
In this report, we put this area of application security understanding to the test by measuring how various web programming languages and development frameworks actually perform in the field. To which classes of attack are they most prone, how often and for how long; and, how do they fare against popular alternatives? Is it really true that the most popular modern languages and frameworks yield similar results in production websites?
By analyzing the vulnerability assessment results of more than 30,000 websites under management with WhiteHat Sentinel, we begin to answer these questions. These answers may enable the application security community to ask better and deeper questions, which will eventually lead to more secure websites. Organizations deploying these technologies can have a closer look at particularly risk-prone areas. Software vendors may focus on areas that are found to be lacking. Developers can increase their familiarity with the strengths and weaknesses of their technology stack. All of this is vitally important because security must be baked into development frameworks and must be virtually transparent. Only then will application security progress be made.

Online advertising networks can be a web hacker’s best friend. For mere pennies per thousand impressions (that means browsers) there are service providers who allow you to broadly distribute arbitrary javascript -- even malicious javascript! You are SUPPOSED to use this “feature” to show ads, to track users, and get clicks, but that doesn’t mean you have to abide. Absolutely nothing prevents spending $10, $100, or more to create a massive javascript-driven browser botnet instantly. The real-world power is spooky cool. We know, because we tested it… in-the-wild.
With a few lines of HTML5 and javascript code we’ll demonstrate just how you can easily commandeer browsers to perform DDoS attacks, participate in email spam campaigns, crack hashes and even help brute-force passwords. Put simply, instruct browsers to make HTTP requests they didn’t intend, even something as well-known as Cross-Site Request Forgery. With CSRF, no zero-days or malware is required. Oh, and there is no patch. The Web is supposed to work this way. Also nice, when the user leaves the page, our code vanishes. No traces. No tracks.
Before leveraging advertising networks, the reason this attack scenario didn’t worry many people is because it has always been difficult to scale up, which is to say, simultaneously control enough browsers (aka botnets) to reach critical mass. Previously, web hackers tried poisoning search engine results, phishing users via email, link spamming Facebook, Twitter and instant messages, Cross-Site Scripting attacks, publishing rigged open proxies, and malicious browser plugins. While all useful methods in certain scenarios, they lack simplicity, invisibility, and most importantly -- scale. That’s what we want! At a moment’s notice, we will show how it is possible to run javascript on an impressively large number of browsers all at once and no one will be the wiser. Today this is possible, and practical.

In order to stay protected, enterprises must receive timely information about how they can most efficiently defend their websites, gain visibility into the performance of their security programs, and learn how they compare with their industry peers. Obtaining these insights is crucial in order to stay ahead and truly improve enterprise website security.
To help, WhiteHat Security has been publishing its Website Security Statistics Report since 2006. This report is the only one that focuses exclusively on unknown vulnerabilities in custom Web applications, code that is unique to an organization, and found in real-world websites. The underlying data is hundreds of terabytes in size, comprises vulnerability assessment results from tens of thousands of websites across hundreds of the most well-known organizations, and collectively represents the largest and most accurate picture of website security available. Inside this report is information about the most prevalent vulnerabilities, how many get fixed, how long the fixes can take on average, and how every application security program may measurably improve. The report is organized by industry, and is accompanied by WhiteHat Security’s expert analysis and recommendations.
Through its Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering, WhiteHat Sentinel, WhiteHat Security is uniquely positioned to deliver the depth of knowledge that organizations require to protect their brands, attain compliance, and avert costly breaches.
This document summarizes the key findings from the WhiteHat Security Website Security Statistics Report from June 2012. The report analyzed vulnerabilities across 7,000 websites from hundreds of organizations. Some of the main findings include:
- The average number of serious vulnerabilities per website dropped significantly from 230 in 2010 to 79 in 2011.
- Cross-site scripting remained the most prevalent vulnerability, found in 55% of websites.
- Web application firewalls could have mitigated 71% of custom application vulnerabilities.
- Banking websites had the fewest vulnerabilities on average with 17 per site.
- Overall, organizations fixed 63% of serious vulnerabilities, up from 53% the prior year.
Web Breaches in 2011-“This is Becoming Hourly News and Totally Ridiculous"Jeremiah Grossman
In 2011, attitude towards hacks shifted from "It happens," to "It is happening.” A poorly coded website and web application is all that’s needed to wreak havoc – expensive firewall, pervasive anti-virus and multi-factor authentication be damned. But what is possible? What types of attacks and attackers should we be mindful of? This presentation will show the real risks in a post-2011 Internet.
Fluttercon 2024: Showing that you care about security - OpenSSF Scorecards fo...Chris Swan
Have you noticed the OpenSSF Scorecard badges on the official Dart and Flutter repos? It's Google's way of showing that they care about security. Practices such as pinning dependencies, branch protection, required reviews, continuous integration tests etc. are measured to provide a score and accompanying badge.
You can do the same for your projects, and this presentation will show you how, with an emphasis on the unique challenges that come up when working with Dart and Flutter.
The session will provide a walkthrough of the steps involved in securing a first repository, and then what it takes to repeat that process across an organization with multiple repos. It will also look at the ongoing maintenance involved once scorecards have been implemented, and how aspects of that maintenance can be better automated to minimize toil.

Mitigating the Impact of State Management in Cloud Stream Processing SystemsScyllaDB
Stream processing is a crucial component of modern data infrastructure, but constructing an efficient and scalable stream processing system can be challenging. Decoupling compute and storage architecture has emerged as an effective solution to these challenges, but it can introduce high latency issues, especially when dealing with complex continuous queries that necessitate managing extra-large internal states.
In this talk, we focus on addressing the high latency issues associated with S3 storage in stream processing systems that employ a decoupled compute and storage architecture. We delve into the root causes of latency in this context and explore various techniques to minimize the impact of S3 latency on stream processing performance. Our proposed approach is to implement a tiered storage mechanism that leverages a blend of high-performance and low-cost storage tiers to reduce data movement between the compute and storage layers while maintaining efficient processing.
Throughout the talk, we will present experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in mitigating the impact of S3 latency on stream processing. By the end of the talk, attendees will have gained insights into how to optimize their stream processing systems for reduced latency and improved cost-efficiency.

Editor's Notes
According to the provided scenario, the exploit will not work if the victim has already accessed the login.php page. This is not always the case. For example, many web applications have a logout page whose job is to clear session data and to issue either new session cookie or empty session session cookie such as PHPSESSID=deleted. Here, our XSS payload will call this logout page first and then call the login page which issues HttpOnly session cookie.
