TROOPERS20 Training Teaser: Attack And Defence In AWS: Chaining Vulnerabilities To Go Beyond The OWASP Top 10

Thu, 27 Feb 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Attackers are everywhere. They are now on the cloud too! Attacking the most popular cloud provider – AWS, requires the knowledge of how different services are setup, what defences do we need to bypass, what service attributes can be abused, where can information be leaked, how do I escalate privileges, what about monitoring solutions that may be present in the environment and so on! We try to answer these questions in our intense, hands-on scenario driven training on attacking and subsequently defending against the attacks on AWS.

TROOPERS20 Training Teaser: Hacking Node.js & Electron apps, shells, injections and fun!

Thu, 06 Feb 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Did you know that in the ever evolving field of Web and Desktop apps, it turns out these can all now be powered with JavaScript? You read that right: JavaScript is now used to power both web apps (Node.js) as well as Desktop apps (Electron). What could possibly go wrong?

So, the burning question is: how does this affect Web and Desktop app security? If you want to find out, come to our training and you will experience this in a 100% hands-on fashion! 🙂

TROOPERS20 Training Teaser: Windows & Linux Binary Exploitation

Mon, 04 Nov 2019 00:00:00 +0000

We are happy to announce that TROOPERS20 will feature the 5th anniversary of the popular Windows & Linux Binary Exploitation workshop!

In this workshop, attendees will learn how to exploit those nasty stack-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities by applying the theoretical methods taught in this course to hands-on exercises. Exercises will be performed for real world (32-bit) software such as the Foxit Reader Plugin for Firefox, Wireshark, and nginx.

Each exercise will start with an initially uncontrolled overwrite of the instruction pointer register by a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability. From there on, we will work our way through many obstacles to finally gain remote code execution. Obstacles that will be encountered during the exercises include modern stack-based buffer overflow defense mechanisms such as stack cookies, data execution prevention (DEP), and address space layout randomization (ASLR). For all of these defense mechanisms, attendees will learn and apply certain methods to bypass the protection.

#TR19 Next Generation Internet (NGI) Summaries

Thu, 02 May 2019 00:00:00 +0000

This blogpost contains summaries of talks from this year’s TROOPERS19 Active Directory Security Track.

Microsoft IT (Secure) Journey to IPv6-Only

Veronika McKillop, Network Architect, Cloud and Connectivity Engineering (CCE)

The speaker, Veronika McKillop, working at Microsofts network infrastructure services, has given a talk about the process of switching a company network from IPv4 to IPv6-only.

Within the talk the following topics were introduced: Dual Stack, Drivers for IPv6, Status of IPv6 in Networks and Security in IPv6 Networks. The talk covers the reasons why a company would like to switch from IPv4 to IPv6. Technics like NAT64 and DNS64 are introduced. The requirements to software and especially drivers to work in IPv6 environments are described. Also the problems to switch from IPv4 to IPv6-only in heterogeneous networks are addressed.

#TR19 Active Directory Security Summaries

This blogpost contains summaries of talks from this year’s TROOPERS19 Active Directory Security Track.

From Workstation to Domain Admin: Why Secure Administration Isn’t Secure and How to Fix It by Sean Metcalf

Active Directory is probably used in almost every corporation today to administer all kinds of Authorization, Authentication and Privileges. This means they are valuable targets for attackers, because once compromised they could do whatever they want. This would be the worst case scenario, right? Therefore securing AD is important and this year TROOPERS19 featured a whole track solely for AD Security.

#TR19 Attack & Research Summaries

Mon, 29 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000

This blogpost contains summaries of talks from this year’s TROOPERS19 Attack & Research Track.

VXLAN Security or Injection, and protection

The talk “VXLAN Security or Injection, and protection” was held by Henrik Lund Kramshøj, who is the owner of Zencurity ApS, a small security company located in Denmark.

Henrik gives an overview about lesser known VXLAN insecurities, mostly packet spoofing.

In the end he gives advice how to protect against this attacks.
