Bold Statements
Some weeks ago, I tweeted about grabbing clipboard content from KeePass with some PowerShell. From some reactions to this tweet, and after reading it a couple of times again, I realize it was sending the wrong message, and I would like to take a bit more than 280 chars to clarify what I meant when I posted that tweet…
TLDR: Password managers are a must, not using one exposes you to far more risks than using one. Do it. Continue reading “A little KeePass Mea Culpa…”
Continue readingWhen I recently joined the Windows Security team at ERNW, Enno asked me if I wanted to write a ‘welcome’ blogpost on a topic of my choosing… Up for the challenge, and since I had been playing with BloodHound & Cypher for the last couple of months, I first thought I would do something on that topic.
However, after gathering my thoughts and some Cypher I had collected here and there, I realized that the topic of Bloodhound Cypher might actually require several blog posts… And so I changed my mind. I will keep the joys of Cypher for later, and in this post, I will talk about a tiny tool I wrote to query the Mitre ATT&CK™ knowledge base from the comfort of a PowerShell prompt.

Continue readingIn Mai 2018, Tobias and me were in Cologne at the Building IoT conference. The topics of the talks covered a broad spectrum of the Internet of Things field. There were three tracks covering different topics ranging from the jungle of IoT protocols, secure Linux hypervisors specially developed for IoT modules to machine learning and blockchain.

Continue readingI had the pleasure to give a presentation at the Security Interest Group Switzerland Technology Conference about modern application stacks and how they can be used to improve infrastructure and application security posture – the slides can be found here. Besides seeing a lot of old friends, I particularly enjoyed a round table discussion on security integration into CI/CD pipelines. Continue reading “Modern Application Stacks & Security”
Continue readingAfter quite some time and work, I’m happy to announce the new release of the Linux Heap Analysis Plugins, which are now part of the Rekall project, but not yet part of an official Rekall release, so you have to grab them manually.
This release fixes several bugs and adds the following features:

IoT is everywhere right now and there are a lot of products out there. I have been looking at an IP Gateway lately and found some serious issues. The Busch-Welcome IP-Gateway from Busch-Jaeger is one of the devices that bridges the gap between sensors and actors in your smart home and the network/Internet. It enables the communication to a door control system that implements various smart home functions. The device itself is offering an HTTP service to configure it, which is protected by a username and password. Some folks even actually expose the device and its login to the Internet. I tried to configure one of these lately and stumbled upon some security issues that I would like to discuss in this blog post.

(GI) in Germany. The conference is in equal proportions attended by researchers and people of the industry working in security-related disciplines which lead to lively and pleasant discussions conversations.

Continue readingLately I’ve been analyzing a .NET binary that was quite interesting. It was a portable binary that shipped without any third-party dependencies. I started looking at the .NET assembly with ILSpy and noticed that there was not that much code that ILSpy found and there were a lot of references to classes/methods that were neither in the classes identified by ILSpy nor were they part of the .NET framework.
