We’re delighted to provide the first announcement of talks of next year’s Troopers edition. Looks like it’s going to be a great event again .
Here we go:
Jacob Torrey – The foundation is rotting and the basement is flooding: A deeper look at the implicit trust relationships in your organization FIRST TIME MATERIAL
Synopsis: In this session, a new hardware-level attack on PCIe is presented as an example for the implicit trust your organization places in 3rd parties. These implicit trust relationships that are typically overlooked will be closely examined under the lens of “InfoSec debt” and providing guidance to InfoSec decision makers on the ROI or risks of adding additional IT services/appliances to an organization’s network.
The “InfoSec debt” metric can then be tracked over time and provides an intuitive way to explain the cost/benefits of IT security to other organizational stakeholders.
TROOPERS14 has come to an end, and it’s finally time to let you have a go at the Badge’s source code. As promised, it was slightly modified and extended, to show you the full potential of your new gadget. I’ve added some nice payloads from Nikhil Mittal and a few own ones. Above that, for those who took their parts for soldering home, I’ve also added a few quick instructions on how to do the soldering.
Greetings from the Print Media Academy in Heidelberg. Just in time for TROOPERS14, I’ve got the great honor to present this years badge!
Being a TROOPER is tough: You need to know loads of information, learn even more and be able to work fast.
This year we decided to increase your efficiency and speed when collecting data from computer systems and, let’s say, hacking them! Your newest gadget is based on a plain Arduino Leonardo, modded with one of our famous shields. After adding a few LEDs and buttons, it will power up to full functionality.
This is a guest post from Vladimir Wolstencroft from our friends of aura information security
==================================================================
Mobile messaging applications have been occupying people’s attention and it seems to be all the latest news. Perhaps I should have called my presentation the 19 Billion dollar app but at the time of writing and research I thought the proposed 3 Billion dollar amount for SnapChat was a little ludicrous, who could have known that would have been just a drop in the ocean.
Given we’ve received a number of inquiries as for the agenda of this year’s TelcoSecDay here’s a first preliminary agenda. To get an idea of the event’s character you might have a look at the agenda of the 2012 edition or the 2013 edition. Pls note that there might be changes/additions to the following outline as we’re currently discussing potential contributions with two European operators. Here we go, for today:
9:00: Opening Remarks & Introduction
9:15: Ravi Borgaonkor – Evolution of SIM Card Security
10:15: Break
10:45: Adrian Dabrowski
11:45: Collin Mulliner – PatchDroid – Third Party Security Patches for Android
12:30: Lunch
13:45: Philippe Langlois
14:45: Break
15:15: Haya Shulman – The Illusion of Challenge-Response Authentication
16:00: Christian Sielaff & Daniel Hauenstein – Breaking Network Monitoring Tools Used in Telco Space
16:30: Closing Remarks
19:00: Joint dinner (hosted by ERNW) in Heidelberg Altstadt for those interested and/or staying for the main conference
Today we have to pleasure to announce another round of Troopers talks.
Here we go:
Noam Liram: Vulnerability Classification in the SaaS Era FIRST TIME MATERIAL
Abstract: In this talk we will thoroughly analyze two major SaaS vulnerabilities that were found by Adallom (one of which is still in responsible disclosure stages at the time of writing). By demonstrating this new class of exploits which we have nick-named “Ice Dagger” attacks, we aim to change the current industry-wide criteria for vulnerability classifications, which were developed in the Desktop/Server world, are inadequate when classifying SaaS vulnerabilities. We will specifically discuss the details of MS13-104.
At first a very happy new year to all our readers!
Today we announce the third round of Troopers 2014 talks (first round here, second here).
Here we go:

Daniel Mende: Implementing an USB Host Driver Fuzzer FIRST TIME MATERIAL
Abstract: The Universal Serial Bus (USB) can be found everywhere these days, may it be to connect a mouse or keyboard to the computer, transfer data on a flash drive connected via USB or to attach some additional hardware like a Digital Video Broadcast receiver. Some of these devices use a standardized device class which are served by an operating system default driver while other, special purpose devices, do not fit into any of those classes, so vendors ship their own drivers. As every vendor specific USB driver installed on a system adds additional attack surface, there needs to be some method to evaluate the stability and the security of those vendor proprietary drivers. The simplest way to perform a stability analysis of closed source products is the fuzzing approach. As there have been no publicly available tools for performing USB host driver fuzzing, I decided to develop one ;-), building on Sergey’s and Travis’ legendary Troopers13 talk. Be prepared to learn a lot about USB specifics, and to see quite a number of blue screens and stack traces on major server operating systems…
We’re very happy to announce the second round of Troopers 2014 talks today (first round here).
Some (well, actually most 😉 ) of these talks haven’t been presented before, at any other occasion, so this is exciting fresh material which was/is prepared especially for Troopers.
Andreas Wiegenstein & Xu Jia: Risks in Hosted SAP Environments.FIRST TIME MATERIAL
**Synopsis: **Many SAP customers have outsourced the operation of their SAP systems in order to save cost. In doing so, they entrust their most critical data to a hosting provider, potentially sharing the same SAP server with a number of companies and organizations unknown to them. These companies and organizations virtually sit in the same boat, without knowing each other and without trusting each other. They all trust in the ability of their hosting provider to run their operating environment in a secure way, though.
We’re delighted to provide the first announcement of talks of next year’s Troopers edition. Looks like it’s going to be a great event again 😉
Here we go:
==================
Toby Kohlenberg: Granular Trust – Making it Work
Over the last 5 years the concept of using dynamic or granular trust models to control access to systems, networks and applications has become well known and is now seeing partial adoption in many places. The challenge is how granular and dynamic can you get and the question is whether it is worth it. As the architect of Intel’s trust model Toby can speak to the entire journey from initial idea through current implementation and the likely road ahead. This talk will include the good, bad and ugly parts of designing a trust model and then implementing it in a Fortune 50 company’s production environment. You will learn from his mistakes so you can make different ones.
