Synopsis:

Title: You are the future of Security
Description: We are taught to take orders, to believe in the future, to believe in the vision. Our leadership has failed us in security. Think about it...... Done? We get breached, our security doesn't get better, the five year plans aren't working, the consultants aren't working, we just get owned more and more. I'm here to tell you that YOU are the future of security, YOU are the next CSO. Come to this presentation, learn what it takes to be successful and what not to do.
Stop going to lunch with vendors, taking baseball tickets, buying the latest APT prevention, and do some work. I'm a CSO of a Fortune 1000 and I'm here to tell you that I'm a hacker and will always be a hacker. I just talk to people and explain in words they can understand. You'll see.... Anyone can do this stuff.

Synopsis:
Your Password Policy Sucks

Current password policies in enterprise environments are just not cutting it any more. Every day password cracking tools are becoming faster andnetwork breaches are becoming much more prevalent. In the last few years password-cracking tools have even harnessed the power of graphics processing units and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA) making password recovery much easier and faster. This has re-established password cracking as a viable attack vector again and as a result millions of passwords have flooded the Internet recently from various password breaches. Through this presentation attendees will learn about the latest attacks, tools, and techniques employed by today's password crackers, as well as potential countermeasures that can help protect against these attacks. Anyone who has anything to do with password policy at a company should be interested in this talk. People always are, and always will be the weakest link in any network environment and password creation left up to the user can be detrimental to an organizations infrastructure.

Covered topics include:

  • Evolutions of password algorithms and tools
  • Profiling password policies
  • Analyzing password lists from some of the most recent high profile breaches
  • Establishing a better password policy
  • Password cracking tools, rule sets and other tricks to attack
  • How to conduct regular password audits

Synopsis:

Your Perimiter Sucks” - Most organizations do not include physical security as part of their information security program. As security professionals we know that attackers, don’t care how they get in. Your Internet posture may be bulletproof, but how does that help if your front door is wide open? Why put a lock on the door, if you have a hung ceiling above it? Attackers think outside the box and so must you.

A skilled cat burglar will first case the place before they try to break in. Take a walk through your lobby entrance and look at it as an outsider what do you see? The typical setup is a camera, a locked door, card reader, maybe an alarm panel and if they were really diligent a motion detector. What good are these if you can just climb over the wall? Or better yet cut through the drywall? Get where am I’m going? Lock picking is a hobby most of us hold, so unlocking a door is easy

Tim Tomes and Mark Baggett

Synopsis:

"Lurking in the Shadows"

In the past, hackers and pen testers have used various techniques to hide the presence of tools and information on compromised systems. Techniques such as alternate data streams in Windows, and directories with common names in Linux, have been basic implementations of such techniques.  The addition of Shadow Copies to modern Windows operating systems provides us with yet another opportunity to conceal information on remote systems.  This talk will discuss the history of concealing data within operating systems and new techniques and tools for doing so in modern Windows implementations.

Abstract:

F*** the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES)


The PTES folks are all rockstars, but they're also all wrong. Forward looking pen testers need to forget the standard and embrace the anarchy. Within 5 years, half of you offensive pros will be joining me on the dull side (defensive security). The other half will be taking pen testing to strange new places. Tune in to hear an alternate view of the path ahead.

Abstract:

Title: BNAT

Hijacking: Repairing Broken Communication Channels


NAT “just works” – sometimes in ways we don’t expect. Thanks to broken vendor implementations and subtle configuration problems, it’s not uncommon to see a router leaking packets. As it turns out, these packets, even in mangled form, often represent a missed opportunity. In this presentation we are going demonstrate how broken communication channels can be repaired to give an attacker an entirely different functional view of your public facing infrastructure. If you’re planning on attending this talk, expect to check your understanding of an "open port” at the door and be ready to discover what your last penetration test probably missed. A suite of open source tools will also be released during this presentation that will allow you to identify, weaponize and exploit communications channels that "never existed", but have been there all along!


Detailed description: A common example of Broken NAT (BNAT) is found in asymmetric routing. Asymmetric routing is basically the concept of creating a logical layer 3 loop in a TCP/IP session between a client and a server. This is commonly found in complex routing scenarios or situations where mistakes are "corrected" to make something work without understanding or caring about the actual flow of traffic.


In many cases, what can happen during asymmetric communication initiation is that the response traffic can get mangled/nat'd by egress devices to the point where the connection becomes inoperable but the traffic still makes it back to the initiator. What I'm doing is taking this inoperable communication channel and designing a fully usable connection that an attacker could leverage to gain access to the hidden service which responded but your client failed to understand the response.

Thomas Hoffecker

Abstract:

Exploiting PKI for Fun & Profit or The Next Yellow Padlock Icon?

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) provides a large attack surface for the pentester. While attacking PKI directly may seem like a juicy target, using the information freely provided by PKI is of much more value than attempting to compromise well protected and monitored servers. This talk will demonstrate the information disclosure that is present in PKI implementations of large organizations in the private and public sector. It will explore the use of that information for purposes of social engineering, phishing, and network recon/profiling. Users have been groomed to accept anything that is signed or encrypted. Misusing the trust that users place in PKI is the new yellow padlock icon!

Eric Milam

Synopsis:

In 2011 MiTM attacks are still a valid and extremely successful attack vector. Exploiting it often requires knowledge of multiple tools and physical access to the network or proximity to an access-point. Easy-Creds takes the MiTM automation to the next level, bringing high-percentage MiTM attacks to the masses. Easy-Creds was recently added to the BackTrack (BT) repository and is slated for inclusion in the next BT base distribution. After performing enterprise assessments for many organizations, and frequently attempting a MiTM attack, via ARP poisoning; the extremely high success rate is remarkable even though this attack has been around and discussed for almost a decade. During this talk we will review the reasons why MiTM is still a valid attack and seldom defended, how to execute an effective attack, the usage of Easy-Creds and demonstrate how to run Easy-Creds for attack simulation engagements.
