New Methods for Exploiting ORM Injections in Java Applications (HITB16)

The HITBSecConf or “Hack In The Box” in Amsterdam is a well known security conference in Europe. We also attended this year too, and there were quite some interesting talks at the HITBSecConf16 conference. One of the talks was about “New Methods for Exploiting ORM Injections in Java Applications” by the security researchers Mikhail Egorov and Sergey Soldatov.

The Beauty of IPv6 Link-Local Addressing. Not

In November 2014, after quite some controversy in the IETF OPSEC working group (for those interested look at the archives), the Informational RFC 7404 “Using Only Link-Local Addressing inside an IPv6 Network” was published. It is authored by Michael Behringer and Eric Vyncke and discusses the advantages & disadvantages of an approach using “only link-local addresses on infrastructure links between routers”.

A Trip to Hannover Messe

Once every few years I decide to head to Hannover and attend Hannover Messe, probably the largest industrial trade fair in Germany and apparently on of the most important in the world. As this year’s main topic was “Industrie 4.0” I simply could not resist to go out on a hunt for new and interesting (secure) smart connected magic! And trust me, I was not disappointed – here’s a few of my impressions.

Infiltrate and Syscan 360

Hi everyone,

I spent the last weeks traveling to Singapore and Miami to present my Xenpwn research about double fetch vulnerabilities in paravirtualized devices at Infiltrate and Syscan360. You can find my slides here. Both conferences had great organization, very technical talks and a cool audience. In the following I want to give a short recap of some of the talks I liked the most:

Summary GI Sicherheit

This is a short summary of selected talks (i.e. those that I found the most interesting of those I was able to personally attend) of the GI Sicherheit 2016.

First of all, congratulations to Dr. Fabian Yamaguchi, who received an award (the GI Promotionspreis) for his PhD thesis “Pattern-Based Vulnerability Discovery“!
His work presents an “approach for identifying vulnerabilities which combines techniques from static analysis, machine learning, and graph mining to augment the analyst’s abilities rather than trying to replace her” by identifying and highlighting patterns of potential vulnerabilities in source code.
