Introduction to Memory Exploitation (CppEurope 2021)Patricia Aas
?
Stack based exploitation has gotten all the fame, but many platform and compiler mitigations have made it very hard to exploit stack vulnerabilities. Heap based exploits are still very relevant, and since this is black magic for most developers I will here give an introduction to the field.
jsrsasign is a opensource free pure JavaScript cryptographic library. This slide shows its features such like RSA/ECDSA signing, PKCS#1/8 private/public key, ASN.1, certificate, JWT/JWS/JWK for introduction.
This document discusses the growing threat of DDoS attacks launched from insecure IoT devices. It provides an overview of the Mirai botnet and how it has evolved to utilize different protocols like UDP, TCP, DNS, and HTTP floods. The document also examines how botnets are monetized through DDoS-for-hire services and how future IoT botnets may become more sophisticated through techniques like DGA, P2P networking, and targeting other vulnerabilities beyond default credentials. It concludes by questioning if the cybersecurity community is doomed given the prevalence of unsecured IoT devices and need for vendors, providers, and users to take proactive steps to address this threat.
Building Cloud Applications Based On Zero TrustMahesh Patil
?
These days code is driving things we can't even imagine, but there is also an inherent problem with code. A Kubernetes audit recently revealed 34 vulnerabilities, and data from various organisations has been stolen multiple times. This raises the question of whom to trust. This presentation makes a case and provides a framework for zero trust in the cloud.
The document discusses various web application attacks like cross-site scripting, SQL injection, cross-site request forgery, sensitive data exposure, and cookie editing. For each attack, it provides information on threat agents, attack vectors, security weaknesses, impacts, prevalence, detectability, example exploits, and steps to prevent the attack. The overall document serves as an educational guide on common web hacking techniques and how to avoid falling victim to them.
Hardening Your Config Management - Security and Attack Vectors in Config Mana...Peter Souter
?
Configuration management is a great tool for helping with hardening and securing servers. But with any addition of new technology comes a new attack vector: Who watches the watchers?
Security is painful. Luckily the invention of configuration management tools has made this process easier, by allowing repeatable configuration for common hardening. However there comes a catch-22: How do we harden the configuration management itself?
When you have a tool that enables you to change systems at a fundamental level, it's a fairly tempting target for malicious agents, and one that would cause a lot of problems if compromised.
We'll be discussing some general patterns we can use to mitigate these problems: - Whitelisting "master" API's - Encrypting sensitive data - Adding a security element to code review
And we'll talk about some application specific options for some of most popular tools out there, such as Puppet, Chef, Ansible, cfengine and Salt.

Mobile technologies bring to life new capabilities and opportunities for consumers all around the world. However, the advent of mobile has also resulted in new points of attack for hackers. This presentation it's about how to assess security vulnerabilities in the development process, and how to deliver high-performing applications that provide functionality with security in mind.
APIs are the building blocks of interoperability on the web and are a key component of scalable and successful technology companies. As externally-consumable APIs expose more information and functionality, ensuring privacy and security of customer data is an increasingly risky proposition. In this session, we¡¯ll talk about some of Slack¡¯s learnings around building Developer APIs and best practices for keeping your APIs safe.

Using hypervisor and container technology to increase datacenter security pos...Tim Mackey
?
As presented at LinuxCon/ContainerCon 2016:
Cyber threats consistently rank as a high priority for data center operators and their reliability teams. As increasingly sophisticated attacks mount, the risk associated with a zero-day attack is significant. Traditional responses include perimeter monitoring and anti-malware agents. Unfortunately, those techniques introduce performance and management challenges when used at large VM densities, and may not work well with containerized applications.
Fortunately, the Xen Project community has collaborated to create a solution which reduces the potential of success associated with rootkit attack vectors. When combined with recent advancements in processor capabilities, and secure development models for container deployment, it¡¯s possible to both protect against and be proactively alerted to potential zero-day attacks. In this session, we¡¯ll cover models to limit the scope of compromise should an attack be mounted against your infrastructure. Two attack vectors will be illustrated, and we¡¯ll see how it¡¯s possible to be proactively alerted to potential zero-day actions without requiring significant reconfiguration of your datacenter environment.
Technology elements explored include those from Black Duck, Bitdefender, Citrix, Intel and Guardicore.

WSO2Con 2025 - How an Internal Developer Platform Lets Developers Focus on CodeWSO2
?
Cloud-native development often involves setting up infrastructure, managing security, and integrating services¡ªtasks that take time away from coding. An internal developer platform (IDP) streamlines these complexities, enabling developers to focus on building business logic.
This lab demonstrates how an IDP supports a hybrid development approach, where developers run some components locally while consuming cloud services seamlessly. Instead of manually configuring databases, authentication, or API gateways, they leverage platform capabilities for rapid iteration.
We¡¯ll walk through a real-world scenario where a developer:
Onboards quickly with an architect-defined application structure.
Develops in a hybrid environment, consuming cloud APIs, databases, and AI services while iterating locally.
Uses Choreo-managed authentication without dealing with OAuth2 intricacies.
Discovers and reuses microservices and APIs instead of rebuilding them.
Debugs efficiently without deploying all dependencies locally.
Ensures security and compliance automatically, catching vulnerabilities early.
By the end, you¡¯ll see how an IDP accelerates onboarding, enhances security, and simplifies cloud-native development¡ªso developers can focus on building great applications instead of managing infrastructure.
