Top Ten Web Hacking Techniques (2008)

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.

Phishing with Super Bait Jeremiah Grossman, Founder and CTO, WhiteHat Security The use of phishing/cross-site scripting (XSS) hybrid attacks for financial gain is spreading. ItÕs imperative that security professionals familiarize themselves with these new threats to protect their websites and confidential corporate information. This isn't just another presentation about phishing scams or cross-site scripting. WeÕre all very familiar with each of those issues. Instead, weÕll discuss the potential impact when the two are combined to form new attack techniques. Phishers are beginning to exploit these techniques, creating new phishing attacks that are virtually impervious to conventional security measures. Secure sockets layer (SSL), blacklists, token-based authentication, browser same-origin policy, and monitoring / take-down services offer little protection. Even eyeballing the authenticity of a URL is unlikely to help. By leveraging cross-site scripting, the next level of phishing scams will be launched not from look-alike web pages, but instead from legitimate websites! This presentation will demonstrate how these types of attacks are being achieved. We'll also demonstrate the cutting edge exploits that can effectively turn your browser into spyware with several lines of JavaScript. And, we'll give you the steps you need to take to protect your websites from these attacks.

The overall document serves as an educational guide on common web hacking techniques and how to avoid falling victim to them.

XPC is a well-known interprocess communication mechanism used on Apple devices. Abusing XPC led to many severe bugs, including those used in jailbreaks. While the XPC bugs in Apple's components are harder and harder to exploit, did we look at non-Apple apps on macOS? As it turns out, vulnerable apps are everywhere - Anti Viruses, Messengers, Privacy tools, Firewalls, and more. This presentation: 1.Explain how XPC/NSXPC work 2.Present you some of my findings in popular macOS apps (e.g. local privilege escalation to r00t) 3.Abuse an interesting feature on Catalina allowing to inject an unsigned dylib 4.Show you how to fix that vulnz finally!

The document introduces various topics related to web security including an overview of common web application vulnerabilities like SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and cross-site request forgery as well as potential countermeasures. It also provides background on typical web application architecture and outlines the OWASP top 10 list of most critical web application security risks.

Identifying Web Servers: A First-look Into the Future of Web Server Fingerprinting Jeremiah Grossman, Founder & Chairman of WhiteHat Security, Inc. Many diligent security professionals take active steps to limit the amount of system specific information a publicly available system may yield to a remote user. These preventative measures may take the form of modifying service banners, firewalls, web site information, etc. Software utilities such as NMap have given the security community an excellent resource to discover what type of Operating System and version is listening on a particular IP. This process is achieved by mapping subtle, yet, distinguishable nuances unique to each OS. But, this is normally where the fun ends, as NMap does not enable we user's to determine what version of services are listening. This is up to us to guess or to find out through other various exploits. This is where we start our talk, fingerprinting Web Servers. These incredibly diverse and useful widespread services notoriously found listening on port 80 and 443 just waiting to be explored. Many web servers by default will readily give up the type and version of the web server via the "Server" HTTP response header. However, many administrators aware of this fact have become increasingly clever in recent months by removing or altering any and all traces of this telltale information. These countermeasures lead us to the obvious question; could it STILL possible to determine a web servers platform and version even after all known methods of information leakage prevention have been exhausted (either by hack or configuration)? The simple answer is "yes"; it is VERY possible to still identify the web server. But, the even more interesting question is; just how much specific information can we obtain remotely? Are we able to determine? * Supported HTTP Request Methods. * Current Service Pack. * Patch Levels. * Configuarations. * If an Apache Server suffers from a "chunked" vulnerability. Is really possible to determine this specific information using a few simple HTTP requests? Again, the simple answer is yes, the possibility exists. Proof of concept tools and command line examples will be demonstrated throughout the talk to illustrate these new ideas and techniques. Various countermeasures will also be explored to protect your IIS or Apache web server from various fingerprinting techniques. Prerequisites: General understanding of Web Server technology and HTTP.

Electron is a framework to create the desktop application on Windows,OS X, Linux easily, and it has been used to develop the popular applications such as Atom Editor, Visual Studio Code, and Slack. Although Electron includes Chromium and node.js and allow the web application developers to be able to develop the desktop application with accustomed methods, it contains a lot of security problems such as it allows arbitrary code execution if even one DOM-based XSS exist in the application. In fact, a lot of vulnerabilities which is able to load arbitrary code in applications made with Electron have been detected and reported. In this talk, I focus on organize and understand the security problems which tend to occur on development using Electron. --- Yosuke Hasegawa Secure Sky Technology Inc, Technical Adviser.

This talk walks through the basics of web security without focussing too much on the particular tools that you choose. The concepts are universal, although most examples will be in Perl. We'll also look at various attack vectors (SQL Injection, XSS, CSRF, and more) and see how you can avoid them. Whether you're an experienced web developer (we all need reminding) or just starting out, this talk can help avoid being the next easy harvest of The Bad Guys.

This document discusses various tools from the OWASP project for securing modern web applications, including ESAPI and the Java Encoder for output encoding, the Secure Headers Project for response headers, and CSRFGuard for cross-site request forgery protection. It emphasizes using security features like content security policies, strict transport security, and X-frame options headers to help mitigate risks like cross-site scripting and clickjacking attacks. The document also demonstrates cross-site request forgery vulnerabilities using the OWASP 1-Liner application and how to address them with anti-CSRF tokens.

This is a multi-faceted workshop that explores new concepts in web security. After a solid grounding in well-known exploits like cross-site scripting (XSS) and cross-site request forgeries (CSRF), I'll demonstrate how traditional exploits are being used together and with other technologies like Ajax to launch sophisticated attacks that penetrate firewalls, target users, and spread like worms. I'll then discuss some ideas for the future, such as evaluating trends to identify suspicious activity and understanding human tendencies and behavior to help provide a better, more secure user experience.

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.

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.

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.

The goal of the workshop is to provide a hands-on introduction to key pen-testing tools and concepts that white-hat and black-hat hackers utilize to find and exploit vulnerabilities in real-world embedded devices.

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.

This document provides an overview of hacking, including its history, definitions, types, famous hackers, reasons for hacking, and advice on security and ethics. Hacking emerged in the 1960s at MIT and refers to attempting to gain unauthorized access to computer systems. It describes hackers as those who exploit weaknesses in computers. Different types of hacking are outlined such as website, network, password, and computer hacking. Advice is given around using strong unique passwords, backing up data, and contacting authorities if hacked. Both advantages like security testing and disadvantages like privacy harm are discussed.
