Translated Press Release: Covid-19 Apps show Software Development in Crisis

Sanna/ May 8, 2020/ Conference, Press, Training

In November, the DeepSec security conference will highlight the software masquerade. In everyday language there is the saying “There’s an app for that!”. The phrase is often used as a joke, even outside the IT industry. The current Covid-19 crisis has once again addressed computer code as a universal solution to problems that are not exclusively related to information technology. Generic digitization seems to be the answer to all problems. Of course, data processing can help. The prerequisite for this, however, is the existence of real data that has also been collected in a comprehensible and careful manner. This is exactly why many projects fail. Magical phones with infinite Intelligence The call for apps has been repeated again and again in recent years. The visions are in no way inferior to the creative ideas

DeepSec 2019 Press Release: High-quality Randomness protects Companies

Sanna/ November 25, 2019/ Conference, Training

The ‘bugs’ of the’ 90s are still alive – hidden in IoT devices, integrated systems and industrial controls. Modern information security can’t manage without mathematics. It is less about statistics in the form of operational data or risk analysis. It’s about cryptography, which is constantly used in everyday life. It uses elements that build on high-quality random numbers to protect information from attacks. This year’s DeepSec Security Conference addresses key aspects of product implementation – data protection during transport and storage. Protecting the Digital Transformation Whether “intelligent” bulbs and illuminants, heating or building controls, tv-sets, industrial plants or entire production lines – the digital transformation covers all areas of our lives and leads to changes. On the one hand, digitization opens up opportunities such as the optimization of processes, the more efficient use of

DeepSec 2019 Training: Threat Hunting with OSSEC – Xavier Mertens

Sanna/ October 26, 2019/ Training

OSSEC is sometimes described as a low-cost log management solution but it has many interesting features which, when combined with external sources of information, may help in hunting for suspicious activity occurring on your servers and end-points. During this training, you will learn the basic of OSSEC and its components, how to deploy it and quickly get results. The second part will focus on the deployment of specific rules to catch suspicious activities. From an input point of view, we will see how easy it is to learn new log formats to increase the detection scope and, from an output point of view, how we can generate alerts by interconnecting OSSEC with other tools like MISP, TheHive or an ELK Stack / Splunk / … and add more contextual content with OSINT feeds. We

DeepSec 2019 Training: Pentesting Industrial Control Systems – Arnaud Soullie

Sanna/ October 25, 2019/ Training

In this intense two day training at DeepSec, you will learn everything you need to start pentesting Industrial Control Networks [also called Industrial Control Systems (ICS)]. We will cover the basics to help you understand what are the most common ICS vulnerabilities. We will then spend some time learning and exploiting Windows & Active Directory weaknesses, as most ICS are controlled by Windows systems. And we will cover the most common ICS protocols (Modbus, S7, Profinet, Ethernet/IP, DNP3, OPC…), analyze packet captures and learn how to use these protocols to talk to Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). You will learn how to program a PLC, to better understand how to exploit them. The training will end with an afternoon dedicated to a challenging hands-on exercise: The first [Capture The Flag] CTF in which you capture

DeepSec 2019 Training: IoT/Embedded Development – Attack and Defense Lior Yaari

Sanna/ September 19, 2019/ Training

Every developer makes mistakes. If you are unlucky, these mistakes result in a security vulnerability, an almost untraceable bug for the normal developer. Going around the world, helping developers to find and understand the vulnerabilities they’ve accidentally created, we learned that unlike bugs, vulnerabilities are invisible to the eye, mind and UT. No one teaches developers how an attacker thinks, what computers security mechanisms are capable of (and what not), and how to avoid creating possible security mistakes endangering your customers. In this course we will teach you the basics of Embedded Devices security from the beginning: How vulnerabilities are created and how an attacker approaches a new device. From the internals, – physical manipulations, buffer overflows, memory corruptions, timing attacks, all the way to the solution: How to avoid common mistakes and even

DeepSec Training: Black Belt Pentesting / Bug Hunting Millionaire – Mastering Web Attacks with Full-Stack Exploitation

René Pfeiffer/ August 19, 2019/ Conference, Training

Web applications are gateways for users and attackers alike. Web technology is used to grant access to information, public and sensitive alike. The latest example is the Biostar 2 software, a web-based biometric security smart lock platform application. During a security test the auditors were able to access over 1 million fingerprint records, as well as facial recognition information. How can you defend against leaks like this? Well, you have to understand all layers of the application stack. Modern web applications are complex and it’s all about full-stack nowadays. That’s why you need to dive into full-stack exploitation if you want to master web attacks and maximize your payouts. Say no to classic web application hacking. Join the training session at DeepSec 2019 and take advantage of Dawid Czagan’s unique hands-on exercises and become
