The ONE!

One Schedule to Rule them All!


Welcome to the "One Schedule to Rule them All!". Thank you for your interest by using this. This is an attempt to make things easier for you, the DEF CON attendee, to figure out the when/what/where during the chaos of DEF CON 29.

It started out simple. I had a Kindle and wanted an ebook of the schedule so I didn't have to wear out the paper pamphlet by pulling it out after every talk to figure out where to go next. Back then there was only the main DEF CON tracks, not really any Villages, and production of the ebooks were easy. Over time the Village system developed with a resulting multiplication in complexity, both for attendees and for my production. The offerings no longer include epub and mobi formats and instead now include html, csv, PDF, ical, public Google calendar, and mysql dump format files. Hopefully you'll find something of use.

The intent is still to be a resource to answer the question at the end of an hour of "What's next?"

As a general rule I do not include:

Be sure to check out the Links section at the bottom of this. Most all of the events listed here were derived from these links and a Infoboot data feed. There is much more going on at DEF CON than what is listed here.

And finally, this is only as good as the ideas and information used to generate it. I welcome your constructive suggestions and comments. Please send them to qumqats@outel.org

Have a good time at DEF CON 29!

The "Adversary Village" is a community torqued combat readiness platform purely focused on Adversary simulation, emulation tactics, Simulation CTFs, Supply chain security attack tactics, Adversary Tactics and urban survival skills.

This is different from any of what has been covered in the existing villages because our focus is on simulation of the actions of a threat actor or an adversary and this being simulated here.

As this domain matures, we anticipate active participation from enterprises as such simulations would help immensely towards internal capacity building from having a "live fire" training opportunity. An increasing number of researchers too are focusing on building tools and techniques for simulation of various adversarial actions against an organization or Supply chain, instead of actual real-world exploitation.The goal of the Adversary Village would be to build an open Security community for the researchers and organizations, who are putting together new means and methodologies towards the simulation/emulation of adversary tactics.

The Aerospace Village at DEF CON will encompass all aspects of the aerospace sector ranging from airports, air traffic management, aircraft and space.

The aviation and space industries, security researchers, and the public share a common goal: safe, reliable, and trustworthy aviation and space operations. For too long, negative perceptions and fractured trust on all sides have held back collaboration between the aviation, space, and security researcher communities that has advanced safety, reliability, and security of other industries. As the traditional domains of aviation safety and cybersecurity increasingly overlap, more effective collaboration between stakeholders ensures we will be safer, sooner, together.

Through the Aerospace Village, the security research community invites industry leaders, researchers and academia interested in aviation and space security, safety, and resilience to attend, understand, collaborate together to achieve our common goals. Empathy and understanding build common ground, while acts and words likely to increase division between these two communities undermine these efforts. The Aerospace Village welcomes those who seek to improve aviation and space security, safety, and resilience through positive, productive collaboration among all ecosystem stakeholders.

Our Goal
The Aerospace Village is a volunteer team of hackers, pilots, and policy advisors who come from the public and private sectors. We believe the flying public deserves safe, reliable, and trustworthy air travel which is highly dependent on secure aviation and space operations.

Our Mission
Create, sustain, and grow an inclusive community focused on aerospace cybersecurity;

Inspire the next generation of aerospace cybersecurity leaders; Promote and develop aerospace cybersecurity expertise and knowledge.

The Aviation Village will do this by:
- Building connections, trust, and understanding among all Village participants. - Developing aerospace security skills among DEF CON attendees through workshops and hands-on activities. - Promoting constructive dialog through talks and interaction.?

Artificial Learning techniques are becoming more prevalent in core security technologies like malware detection and network traffic analysis. Its use has opened up new vectors for attacks against non-traditional targets, such as deep learning based image recognition systems used in self driving cars. There are unique challenges in defending and attacking these machine learning systems that the security community needs to be made aware of. This AI Village will introduce DEF CON attendees to these systems and the state of the art in defending and attacking them. We will provide a setting to educate DEF CON at large through workshops and a platform for researchers in this area to share the latest research.

Our main focus is on expanding the hands-on activities that attendees can participate in. This year, attendees will create a realistic face using StyleGAN, learn how to generate text, and attack a discriminatory resume screening program. We'll also have talks via CFP, and workshops: both introductory ML for beginners and intermediate/advanced on Facial Recognition/Adversarial ML. We are planning three contests inside the village: one as a standard CTF, another on evading a malware classifier (Ember), and a final realtime panel of Deepfaked DarkTangent's answering personal questions and giving opinions on life, the universe, and everything!

Growing from seeds of demand, the Biohacking Village emerged at DEF CON to deliver action-oriented reinvention of the safety and security of health care. THE BIOHACKING VILLAGE, a 501(c)3 organization, is uniquely poised to inform global conversations in health care cybersecurity research. Representing voices who see ‘code’ as genetics, ‘subroutines’ as organic processes, and ‘programs’ as life itself the BHV has grown to become an expansive and inclusive, hands-on playground for the entire biomedical ecosystem - patients, clinicians, hackers, manufacturers, regulators, hospital administrators, and others seeking healthier futures through meaningful technology. This nimble community delivers hands-on, strident learning labs to influence in health care, industry, and manufacturing.

We bring the biomedical ecosystem to DEF CON in four ways:

Device Lab
A high-collaboration, hands-on learning environment builds trust and trustworthiness across multidisciplinary voices in healthcare, connecting security researchers, manufacturers, hospitals, and regulators in an experiential learning laboratory that encourages cross-pollination and real-world skills development. Device Lab research benefits patients and manufacturers by providing valuable, high-fidelity feedback on established, new, and developing devices.

Speaker Lab
Connection starts with shared experiences. Speakers at BHV have walked the walk - from their adventures in garage science to the emerging threats they uncover to next generation solutions and next level care. Full Stack Biotechnologists, security researchers, regulators, clinicians, citizen scientists, patients, and engineers enlighten and inspire BHV attendees through creative and collaborative discussions around emerging technologies and threats, novel work in biologics, security architectures, and the opportunities inside the interdisciplinary nature of healthcare.

Catalyst Lab
The world’s largest, meatiest problems cross through the BHV and the Catalyst Lab works to convene thought leaders, hacktivists, and manufacturers working in the biomedical industry to investigate the solutions of best fit and provide a series of tabletops for training, hands-on workshops, and solutions design that covers the entirety of the biomedical device and security ecosystem.

Capture The Flag
Hackers work to defend a hospital under siege, racing against the clock. The immersive, “learn by doing” environment challenges hackers to use their skills to anticipate, defend, and recover, as their adversary escalates their attacks throughout the game.

This isn’t just getting the next job, it is building, shifting, and presenting skills and capabilities to keep reaching the next level of where you want to go.

In 2020, studies showed that in the hacking community over 45% did not know how to find a job. Post pandemic with unemployment rising, this number has increased to 55%. These studies also show that many hackers do not know the next step in their career. From other studies, hackers have stated that they don’t know the top ways to find a job and worse, how to plan the next step in their career. While we talk about the talent shortages, we are not equipping our community with the knowledge, skills, and expertise to sustain their career search and development.

Career Hacking village provides opportunities to build out your career plan and get through the next steps. We have workshops on plan development, resume refinement, identifying mentors, and practice interviews. We will complement this with one-on-one meetings with recruiters for resume review and career mentors for frank conversations about career search and development. New this year will be adding in Mock Interviews to finetune the virtual interviewing process.

The CAHV brings the opportunity to work with the one aspect of tech careers that won’t run in the cloud - getting past recruiters and building a career that lets people match their passions with opportunities. No two paths are exactly the same.

From presentations that focus on key aspects of career search and career development to discussions with community career advisors these activities will help community members re-examine their overall career goals and tactics.

It's true, the Data Duplication Village is back for DC 29! We have all the bits and bytes available from infocon.org packed up into nice, neat packages. If you're looking for something to fill up all your unused storage, may I recommend a nice hash table or two with a side of all of the DefCon talks? This is a "free-to-you" service where we're providing you direct access to terabytes of useful data to help build those skills.

HOW IT WORKS
DEF CON will provide a core set of drive duplicators as well as data content options. We accept 6, 8, and 10TB drives on a first come, first served basis and duplicate 'till we can no longer see straight. Bring in your blank SATA3 drives - check them in early - to get the data you want. Come back in about 24 hours to pick up your data-packed drive. Space allowing, we'll accept drives all the way through until Saturday morning - but remember, it's FIFO! It will be a first come, first served to duplicate 'till we drop. Bring labeled 6TB SATA blank drives, and submit them in the queue for the data you want. Come back in 14-24 hours to pick up your data-packed drive. Space allowing, the last drop-offs will be no later than Saturday afternoon and the last drives will run overnight with the final pickup time at 11:30am.

WHAT IS AVAILABLE - Three drives:
6TB drive 1-3: Updated archive of infocon.org plus other "direct from DT" content, built on last years collection and always adding more for your data consuming appetite. 6TB drive 2-3: freerainbowtables.com GSM A51 and MD5 hash tables (Tables 1-2) with about 404 gigs free 6TB drive 3-3: more rainbowtables, lanman, mysqlsha1, ntlm, and some word lists (Tables 2-2) with about 136 gigs free

The DC 29 content will be posted at dcddv.org once finalized

WHAT YOU NEED

If you want a full copy of everything you will need three drives. You can bring back last year's drive(s) to be wiped / updated (you should remove any 2018 stickers).

WHEN TO BE THERE
Data Duplication Village Hours:

We're working on a method to post completed ticket ranges to https://dcddv.org and https://twitter.com/DDV_DC

SIDE NOTES
Be aware that we cleared all the Vegas area stores of every single 6TB drive last year we did this so plan ahead and get them now! Duplicating a 6TB (About 5.46 usable) drive at an average of 120 Megabytes a second comes out to just under 14 hours per drive. With all about 16 duplicators going, we can duplicate about 95 drives concurrently. We're expect to push about 11GB per second out to the drives for 72 hours straight. We did 335 drives for DC24 and we're hoping to do even more at DC25! We are expecting more total duplicator capacity than last year!

THAT'S ALL?
But wait - there's more! At DC27, we made our our stretch goal a reality to provide a pick-and-pull datastore in the DDV. We expect to do it bigger and better this year!

Ham radio isn’t just what your grandpa does in the shed out back. Radios are an important piece of technology we use everyday, and amateur (“ham”) radio has been at the forefront of its development since day one -- we are some of the original hardware hackers! DIY, exploration, and sharing has always been a vital part of our community and the goal of Ham Radio Village is to nurture this growth into the next generation with all of the amazing people at DEF CON.

Our village will have demos, talks, presentations, contests, and of course, license exams!

So come visit Ham Radio Village to learn more about the hobby, including how antennas work (and how to build your own), how to actually use that software defined radio sitting on the shelf, how to trackdown a rogue transmitter with a handheld radio, and how you can legally transmit 1,500 Watts into the airwaves after taking a simple multiple-choice test!

One of the unique things about ham radio is that it goes deep into the theory and science of radio. This knowledge unlocks a whole new level of understanding about why and how radios work and radio waves propagate. With just about everything containing some sort of radio these days, this information can help us better research, attack, and defend all things that emit RF. For example: Just about anyone can build an antenna with simple hardware; having an understanding of the fundamentals allows you to troubleshoot and tune the performance of that antenna to pick up the exact signals you want while filtering out the rest.

Every day our lives become more connected to consumer hardware. Every day the approved uses of that hardware are reduced, while the real capabilities expand.

Come discover hardware hacking tricks and tips regain some of that capacity, and make your own use for things! We have interactive demos to help you learn new skills. We have challenges to compete against fellow attendees. We have some tools to help with your fever dream modifications. Come share what you know and learn something new.

We are two villages in one. We run a large number of tables for soldering when in person, and to allow people to understand that hardware is more than soldering we run the Hardware Hacking Village as embedded / reversing / hardware things other than soldering.

The Lock Bypass Village explores the world of hardware bypasses and techniques generally outside of the realm of cyber security and lockpicking. Come learn some of these bypasses, how to fix them, and have the opportunity to try them out for yourself.

We’ll be covering the basics, like the under-the-door-tool and latch slipping attacks, as well as an in depth look at more complicated bypasses. Learn about elevator hacking, attacking alarm systems at the sensor and communication line, and cut-away and display models of common hardware to show how it works on the inside.

Looking for a challenge? Show us you can use lock bypass to escape from a pair of standard handcuffs in under 30 seconds and receive a prize!

The lock bypass village is almost 100% hands on and is one of the only villages that has content about physical security. We strive to develop new content on a yearly basis to retain the interest of new and existing participants. This year we will be rebuilding all of our door displays to improve the production value, we will also have new displays that capture elevator security, double doors (with a deadbolt), forceable entry, some content on Access controls/Wiegand/RFID cloning, and other subjects.

Have you ever been curious about password cracking, but were too embarrassed to admit you don't know anything about it? Have you seen the news about major password data breaches, but failed to see what all the fuss is about? Have you always wanted to implement password auditing at your organization, but you didn't know where to begin? Or do you feel like password cracking could not ever possibly relate to your job function? Does the prospect of discovering a unique intersection between human psychology, mathematics, information security, and high-performance computing arouse you? If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, or if you just really fucking love password cracking, then the first-ever Password Village at DEF CON is right for you!

The Password Village provides training, discussion, and hands-on access to hardware and techniques utilized in modern password cracking, with an emphasis on how password cracking relates to your job function and the real world . No laptop? No problem! Feel free to use one of our terminals to access a pre-configured GPU environment to run password attacks against simulated real-world passwords. Village staff and expert volunteers will be standing by to assist you with on-the-spot training and introductions to Hashcat, as well as other FOSS cracking applications.

Already a password cracking aficionado? Feel free to give a lightning talk, show off your skills, help a n00b learn the basics, or engage in riveting conversation with other password crackers. Regardless of whether you're just a little hash-curious, a veteran cracker still relying on rainbow tables, a novice desiring to learn more, or an expert eager to share, we guarantee there will be something for everyone at the Password Village!

Recon Village is an Open Space with Talks, Live Demos, Workshops, Discussions, CTFs, etc. with a common focus on Reconnaissance. The core objective of this village is to spread awareness about the importance of reconnaissance, open-source intelligence (OSINT), and demonstrating how even small information about a target can cause catastrophic damage to individuals and organizations.

Recon Village appeared at DEF CON 25, 26, 27, 28 as well as DEF CON China Beta and 1.0 and we received an overwhelming response from speakers, CTF/HackAThon participants, and attendees.

We strive to make Recon Village even better this time and are expecting more active participation from the attendees. It will be really great if we can get at least the same size space (or bigger) as we got in DEFCON 27.

We will be opening 'Call For Papers and Workshops' on 22nd March 2021.

We will have our Jeopardy Style OSINT CTF Contest throughout the Village timings. Based on the feedback from last year, we plan to make the CTF more challenging this year. The challenges will be around harvesting information about target organizations, their employee's social media profiles, their public svn/gits, password breach dumps, darknet, paste(s), etc. followed by active exploitation, bug hunting, investigation, and pentest scenarios of virtual targets. All the target organizations, employees, servers, etc. will be created by our team and hence will not attract any legal issues.

Similar to the last year, there will be Awesome rewards for CTF winners, along with free t-shirts, stickers, village coins, and other schwag which attendees can grab and show off.

Guess what! our Badge will also be more interesting this time and as usual, it will be free. P.S. We will not be selling our badges.

After 14 years of evolution, from the WiFi Village, to the Wireless Village, RF Hackers Sanctuary presents: The Radio Frequency Village at DEF CON.

The Radio Frequency Village is an environment where people come to learn about the security of radio frequency (RF) transmissions, which includes wireless technology, applications of software defined radio (SDR), Bluetooth (BT), Zigbee, WiFi, Z-wave, RFID, IR and other protocols within the usable RF spectrum. As a security community we have grown beyond WiFi, and even beyond Bluetooth and Zigbee.

The RF Village includes talks on all manner of radio frequency command and control as well as communication systems. While everyone knows about the WiFi and Bluetooth attack surfaces, most of us rely on many additional technologies every day.

RF Hackers Sanctuary is supported by a group of experts in the area of information security as it relates to RF technologies. RF Hackers Sanctuary’s common purpose is to provide an environment in which participants may explore these technologies with a focus on improving their skills through offense and defense. These learning environments are provided in the form of guest speakers, panels, and Radio Frequency Capture the Flag games, to promote learning on cutting edge topics as it relates to radio communications. We promise to still provide free WiFi. https://rfhackers.com/the-crew

Speaker and contest schedule can be found on our website: https://rfhackers.com/calendar

Co-located with the RF Village is the RF Capture the Flag. Come for the talks, stay for the practice and the competition.

Rogues Village is a place to explore alternative approaches and uses for security concepts, tools, and techniques by looking to non-traditional areas of knowledge. Incorporating expertise from the worlds of magic, sleight of hand, con games, and advantage play, this village has a special emphasis on the overlap between Social Engineering, Physical Security, and Playful Mischief.

Because we specialize in non-traditional approaches, Rogues Village can be an excellent entry point for people with a less established background in the security space. By introducing and engaging with existing topics in innovative, relatable, and frequently hands-on ways, they can become easier for people to approach and pick up for the first time.

Additionally, we are one of the few villages with a view that explicitly extends beyond the security space, meaning our perspective will necessarily include influences, ideas, and inspirations that are unique to Rogues Village.

Security Leaders Village

Many of us who started out learning how technology worked through the security community now have leadership roles. There are many of us who don't wear the title of suit well, however we're in these positions. There are also quite a few of us who aspire to these roles and responsibilities, and don't know where to go. The goals of this village are to provide better support to security leaders who did not take the traditional career path, and to assist those currently on their path to achieve more.

We have not paid attention to how the hacker community has developed a significant amount of leaders. They are responsible for the safety and security of much of our critical infrastructure, including finance, healthcare, energy, and transportation. This village recognizes and realizes that, and gives these leaders the tools they need to further succeed. It's also there to develop a new generation.

Description:
Cyberattacks in healthcare abound. Sensitive health data is stolen, and patients’ lives are put at risk by the fleet of outdated, legacy medical devices in our hospitals that are vulnerable to attackers. As the market for internet of medical things (IoMT) rapidly expands, these trends will only increase. While we have the technology to fix this problem, traditional market incentives have not been able to induce a more secure healthcare environment. This talk will discuss those market failures from an economics perspective and suggest new strategies for properly incentivizing medical device manufacturers to make more cyber secure and resilient devices.

All Biohacking Village talks will be streamed to YouTube.

Title: (Replay) Racketeer Toolkit. Prototyping Controlled Ransomware Operations
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 19:00 - 19:30 PDT
Where: Track 2 CLOSED; DCTV/Twitch #2 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:Dimitry "Op_Nomad" Snezhkov
Dimitry Snezhkov is an Associate Director at Protiviti. In this role he hacks code, tools, networks, apps and sometimes subverts human behavior too. Dimitry has spoken at DEF CON, BlackHat, THOTCON conferences, and presented tools at BlackHat Arsenal.
Twitter: @Op_Nomad

Description:
*** SPECIAL NOTE: Technical difficulties prevented this talk from being shown at the correct time slot on DCTV/Twitch. This entry is for the replay. You may also watch this talk on-demand, by following the links at the bottom of this message. ***

Offensive testing in organizations has shown a tremendous value for simulating controlled attacks. While cyber extortion may be one of the main high ROI end goals for the attacker, surprisingly few tools exist to simulate ransomware operations.

Racketeer is one such tool. It is an offensive agent coupled with a C2 base, built to help teams to prototype and exercise a tightly controlled ransomware campaign.

We walk through the design considerations and implementation of a ransomware implant which emulates logical steps taken to manage connectivity and asset encryption and decryption capabilities. We showcase flexible and actionable ways to prototype components of fully remote ransomware operation including key and data management, as well as data communication that is used in ransomware campaigns.

Racketeer is equipped with practical safeguards for lights out operations, and can address the goals of keeping strict control of data and key management in its deployment, including target containment policy, safe credential management, and implementing operational security in simulated operations.

Racketeer can help gain better optics into IoCs, and is helpful in providing detailed logs that can be used to study the behavior and execution artifacts of a ransomware agent.

Title: (Replay) UFOs: Misinformation, Disinformation, and the Basic Truth
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 19:00 - 19:59 PDT
Where: Track 1 CLOSED; DCTV/Twitch #1 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:Richard Thieme AKA neuralcowboy
Richard Thieme, https://thiemeworks.com has addressed security and intelligence issues for 28 years. He has keynoted security conferences in 15 countries and given presentations for the NSA, FBI, Secret Service, Pentagon Security Forum, U.S. Department of the Treasury, and Los Alamos National Laboratory. He has been speaking at Def Con since Def Con 4. His sixth book, a novel, Mobius: A Memoir, about an intelligence professional looking back on his career and how it led down unexpected paths, is receiving rave reviews. He has explored UFO phenomena seriously for 43 years.
Twitter: @neuralcowboy

Description:
** SPECIAL NOTE: This is a replay on DCTV/Twitch only, because a technical issue prevented part of the talk from airing during its previously scheduled slot. **

The talk, "UFOs and Government: A Historical Inquiry" given at Def Con 21 has been viewed thousands of times. It was a serious well-documented exploration of the UFO subject based on Thieme's participation in research into the subject with colleagues. The book of that name is the gold standard for historical research into the subject and is in 100+ university libraries.

This update was necessitated by recent UFO incidents and the diverse conversations triggered by them. Contextual understanding is needed to evaluate current reports from pilots and naval personnel, statements from senators and Pentagon personnel, and indeed, all the input from journalists who are often unfamiliar with the field and the real history of documented UFOs over the past 70 years.

Thieme was privileged to participate with scholars and lifelong researchers into the massive trove of reports. We estimate that 95% can be explained by mundane phenomena but the remainder suggest prolonged interaction with our planetary society over a long period. Thieme also knows that when you know you don't know something, don't suggest that you do. Stay with the facts, stay with the data. Sensible conclusions, when we do that, are astonishing enough.

Reality, as Philip K. Dick said, will not go away just because we refuse to believe in it.

Title: (Tool Demo) ImproHound - Identify AD tiering violations
When: Sunday, Aug 8, 12:30 - 13:15 PDT
Where: Adversary Village (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Jonas BĂźlow Knudsen , Security Advisor, Improsec A/S
Jonas Bülow Knudsen is an Active Directory (AD) security advisor. Jonas have spent the past two years helping organizations implement technical countermeasures and remediate vulnerabilities in and around AD, including implementation of the AD tier model. Working closely together with penetration testers and having a strong interest in offensive security enable Jonas to focus on security measures that matters and not just best practice.

Jonas has recently developed a FOSS tool called ImproHound to identify the attack paths in BloodHound breaking AD tiering: https://github.com/improsec/ImproHound.

At least _wald0 (co-creator of BloodHound) thinks it is cool: https://twitter.com/_wald0/status/1403441218495807495

Twitter: @Jonas_B_K
https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonas-bĂźlow-knudsen-950957b7/

Description:
It is not viable for system administrators and defenders in a large Active Directory (AD) environment to ensure all AD objects have only the exact permissions they need. Microsoft also realised that, why they recommended organizations to implement the AD tier model: Split the AD into three tiers and focus on preventing attack paths leading from one tier to a more business critical tier.

The concept is great, as it in theory prevents adversaries from gaining access to the server tiers (Tier 1 and 0) when they have obtained a shell on a workstation (Tier 2) i.e. through phishing, and it prevents adversaries from gaining access to the Domain Admins, Domain Controllers, etc. in Tier 0 when they have got a shell on a web server i.e. through an RCE vulnerability. But it turns out to be rather difficult to implement the tiering concept in AD, why most organizations fail it and end up leaving security gaps.

It doesn’t help on the organization’s motivation to make sure their tiering is sound, when Microsoft now call it the AD tier model “legacy” and have replaced it with the more cloud-focused enterprise access model: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/security/compass/privileged-access-access-model#evolution-from-the-legacy-ad-tier-model

As a person hired to help identify the vulnerabilities in an organization, you want to find and report the attack paths of their AD. BloodHound is well-known and great tool for revealing some of the hidden and often unintended relationships within an AD environment and can be used to identify highly complex chained attack paths that would otherwise be almost impossible to identify. It is great for finding the shortest attack path from a compromised user or computer to a desired target, but it is not built to find and report attack paths between tiers..

I will in my presentation explain and demonstrate a tool I have created called ImproHound, which take advantage of BloodHound’s graph database to identify and report the misconfigurations and security flaws that breaks the tiering of an AD environment.

ImproHound is a FOSS tool and available on GitHub: https://github.com/improsec/ImproHound

Title: (Tool Demo) New generation of PEAS
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 19:45 - 20:30 PDT
Where: Adversary Village (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Carlos Polop , Senior Security Engineer, Mettle
Carlos is a Spanish Telecommunications Engineer with a Master in Cybersecurity.He had worked hard to pass some important certifications like OSCP, OSWE, CRTP, eMAPT, and eWPTXv2. He has worked mainly as penetration tester/red teamer but also as programmer and system administrator. Since he started learning cybersecurity he has been trying to share his knowledge and help improving the infosec world with his tools (the most remarkable ones are https://github.com/carlospolop/privilege-escalation-awesome-scripts-suite and https://github.com/carlospolop/legion) and with his free hacking tricks online book: https://book.hacktricks.xyz
Twitter: @carlospolopm
https://es.linkedin.com/in/carlos-polop-martin

Description:
Local privilege escalation techniques are far beyond checking the Windows/Kernel version, looking for unquoted service paths or checking SUID binaries. Moreover, a local privilege escalation could make a huge difference when trying to comprise a domain. Several tools have been created to find possible privilege escalation paths, but most of the tools for Red Team and Pentesting just check for a few possible ways, so pentesters need to use several tools and do some manual recon to check for everything.

PEASS is a compilation of a bash script for Linux/MacOS/*nix and a .Net project and a batch script for Windows that I have created some time ago which aims to check and highlight every possible privescpath so professionals don’t need to execute several different tools for this purpose and can very easily find vulnerabilities.

During this talk I would like to present PEASS-ng. The architecture of these scripts has evolved and improved so much that I would like to present how they work at the moment and how the difficulty to collaborate with the project has been reduced significantly. Moreover, I would also like to present the 2 new PEAS that haven't been present anywhere yet: BotPEAS and WebPEAS (the latest one will be released the day of the talk). During the talk I will also present my local privilege escalation resources (https://book.hacktricks.xyz/linux-unix/privilege-escalation , https://book.hacktricks.xyz/windows/windows-local-privilege-escalation) so the attended will be able to continue learning about the topic after the talk.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/mauricio-velazco-4314b51a/

Description:
Defending enterprise networks against attackers continues to present a difficult challenge for blue teams. Prevention has fallen short; improving detection & response capabilities has proven to be a step in the right direction. However, without the telemetry produced by adversary behavior, building new and testing existing detection capabilities will be constrained. PurpleSharp is an open source adversary simulation tool written in C# that executes adversary techniques within Windows Active Directory environments. The resulting telemetry can be leveraged to measure and improve the efficacy of a detection engineering program. PurpleSharp leverages the MITRE ATT&CK Framework and executes different techniques across the attack life cycle: execution, persistence, privilege escalation, credential access, lateral movement, etc

Description:
Persistence consists of techniques that adversaries use to maintain their foothold on systems across restarts. Techniques used for persistence include any access, action, or configuration changes that allow attackers retain access on systems. Persistence is one of the more sought-after techniques of an attacker. Every 3 techniques out of top 10 usedby Adversaries belong to Persistence. We leveraged data from MITRE ATT&CK and open source cyber threat intelligence to understand how adversary achieves persistence. We created Tenacity, a light-weight adversary emulation tool that emulates over 30+ persistence techniques using 100+ procedures employed by attackers in the wild. Using this tool the organizations and individuals can quickly validate the risk posture and exposure of their business as well as the performance of the existing security solutions.

Description:
Threat actors build their tradecraft for each campaign, they need to select the right tactics, techniques. Most of the time they use open source or commercial, but publicly available tools. They even re-purpose or pack existing malware acquired from other threat actors. The reason behind of this decision is tool development takes time, and if the known/current tools already work well, they don’t need upgrades either. However, the adversary simulation specialists need to operate in safer environments, therefore, they’re not allowed to use malicious tradecraft or unknown tools in general. Tradecraft development is an essential skills for an adversary simulation specialist as it needs custom C2 protocols, implants, safer but realistic Mitre Att&ck TTPs, and finally cutting-edge evasions for the modern security controls including EDRs and Cyber Analytics. In this workshop, we’ll walk through reasons and ways of Tradecraft development, talk about where to start, and to go, finding example source codes, walking through the source code of existing C2s, implants, and draft tools. We’ll also discuss about weaponization techniques such as offensive pipelines, modern evasions techniques and tool integrations. Duringthe exercises, we’ll prefer C# for programming, but you can replicate what you learn in various languages after this workshop (e.g. Python, Go, Rust). During the workshop, the participants will be able to develop their own implants, C2s, evasions and more using examples and active tools such as Petaq Purple Team C2 and Malware, TA505+ Adversary Simulation Pack and Tehsat Malware Traffic Generator

Title: 1.21 Gigawatts! Vulnerabilities in Solar Panel Controllers
When: Friday, Aug 6, 11:45 - 12:30 PDT
Where: IoT Village (Talk - Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Waylon Grange
Waylon Grange is an experienced vulnerability researcher, reverse engineer, and developer. Prior to Stage 2, he worked for Symantec and the NSA. Waylon has been a speaker at Black Hat, DefCon, RSA, CanSecWest, and DerbyCon and is credited with a US patient, multiple CVEs, and exposing APT groups. His in-depth knowledge of embedded systems is utilized to evaluate the security of IoT systems and develop electronic badges for conferences.

Description:
Embedded device security has come a long way since the days of telnet and default passwords. Product vendors are now doing more to secure their devices but how effective are they? This presentation will outline many of the software and hardware-based attacks used to compromise embedded systems. It also discusses some of the mitigations used to prevent these attacks. Many previous IoT talks show the simplicity of hacking devices that have weak security or no hardening. In contrast, this presentation shows how even secured devices have attack surfaces that still need to be addressed. It demonstrates the need for embedded devices to incorporate a security lifecycle plan and hardware designs must be audited for security weakness before production. Topics to be covered include firmware image encryption, disabling UART console access, hardening JTAG development access, securing e.MMC storage, NOR Flash protection, processor glitching, update lifecycle attacks, avoiding custom crypto, dealing with reverse engineers, and initial device setup vs authentication. None of these topics will be a deep dive. The intent is to show how they are attacked or utilized to mitigate specific attacks. To illustrate these topics the presentation will use a recent security audit of a US solar equipment manufacturer as a case study. The vendor incorporated many best practices for securing embedded devices but made some architecture decisions in the guise of security that ended up weakening their security posture rather than helping it. Finally, we'll show the ramifications of an attack against solar systems and how it could be used for racketeering. Attacks in this talk are beneficial to system designers, hobbyists, and researchers.

IoT Village talks will be streamed to Twitch. Select speakers may be available in the IoT Village on-site to answer questions.

Title: 2021 - Our Journey Back To The Future Of Windows Vulnerabilities and the 0-days we brought back with us
When: Friday, Aug 6, 11:00 - 11:45 PDT
Where: Track 2 Live; DCTV/Twitch #2 Pre-Recorded
Speakers:Eran Segal,Tomer Bar

SpeakerBio:Eran Segal
Eran Segal is a security researcher, having 7+ years experience in cyber security research. He is working on security research projects in SafeBreach Labs in the last 2 years after serving in various sec positions at the IDF.

His experience involves research on Windows and embedded devices


SpeakerBio:Tomer Bar
Tomer Bar is hands-on security researcher and head of research manager with ~20 years of unique experience in the cyber security. In the Past, he ran research groups for the Israeli government and then lead the endpoint malware research for Palo Alto Networks. Currently, he leads the SafeBreach Labs research which is the research and development arm of SafeBreach.

His main interest is focused on Windows vulnerability research, reverse engineering and APT research.

His recent discoveries are vulnerabilities in the Windows Spooler mechansim and a research on the most persistent Iranian APT campaign. He is a contributor to Mitre Attack framework and a Speaker at BlackHat, Defcon and Sector conferences.


Description:
In 2020, security researchers reported a record number of Windows vulnerabilities. We were curious what superpowers will we get from researching this huge number of vulnerabilities? Can we leverage our findings to discover 0-days?

We decided to go back in time to 2016 to search for patterns and automatically classify all the public vulnerabilities since then. We believed that only by connecting the dots to a bigger picture, we will be able to come back 2021 with the success of achieving our goal.

We adopted a new approach, in terms of both the goal and how to get there. Until now, the main goal of patch-diff was focused on the root cause of the vulnerability and building a 1-day to exploit it Usually patch-diff was done manually on a single patch.

We reached higher for the holy grail. We understood that in order to find 0-days we needed to build an automated process that would gather all the insights from all the patches in a single, searchable db.

It worked! We discovered the root causes of multiple classes of vulnerabilities. We used these discoveries on a fully patched Windows 10 host in order to highlight opportunities for exploitation. As a consequence, we found and reported (1) 6 information disclosure vulnerabilities to Microsoft, (2) 2 post exploitation techniques allowing covert exfiltration of private user data, and (3) an additional surprise.

In this presentation, we'll describe our research process, demonstrate a live exploitation of the vulnerabilities we found, share the tools we developed, and explain how other researchers can use it to discover 0-days.

Twitter: @nicolaismith1

Description:
The talk 40 Cores and a CPU will speak to the importance of participating in the cybersecurity field at every level for Black Technologists. I will demonstrate the benefits and struggles that can be both met and overcome through owning physical infrastructure and providing services to the community, with this question in mind: “If the goal is to own and secure your data, wouldn’t be easier if you owned the IP’s and the Bare Metal Infrastructure that supports it?” While the scale will always be dwarfed by larger companies that are Cloud Service Providers, the capabilities to grow and develop at a grassroots level, future engineers, and cybersecurity professionals of color is much easier, which in turn prepares better candidates for larger enterprises. This talk should start the discussion, is it possible for the black community to own spaces of the internet from the BareMetal to the code on the front-end server? And what economic impact would that have, or would it become a security issue, a new cyber target ?

Blacks in Cyber talks will be streamed on YouTube.

Title: A Cohort of Pirate Ships
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 16:45 - 16:59 PDT
Where: Biohacking Village (Talk - Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Alex Pearlman , Science and Health Policy + Emerging Issues in Bioethics
No BIO available

Description:
A presentation on our newly published research on ethics attitudes and preferences in biomedical citizen science, biohacker, and community bio groups. As biomedical citizen science initiatives become more prevalent, the unique ethical issues that they raise are attracting policy attention. One issue identified as a significant concern is the ethical oversight of bottom-up biomedical citizen science projects that are designed and executed primarily or solely by members of the public. That is because the federal rules that require ethical oversight of research by institutional review boards generally do not apply to such projects, creating what has been called an ethics gap. Working to close this gap, practitioners and scholars have considered new mechanisms of ethical oversight for biomedical citizen science. To date, however, participants’ attitudes about ethics and oversight preferences have not been systematically examined. This information is useful to efforts to develop ethical oversight mechanisms because it provides a basis for evaluating the likely effectiveness of specific features of such mechanisms and their acceptability from the perspective of biomedical citizen scientists. Here, we report data from qualitative interviews with 35 stakeholders (some from BHV!) in bottom-up biomedical citizen science about their general ethics attitudes and preferences regarding ethical oversight. Interviewees described ten ethical priorities and endorsed oversight mechanisms that are voluntary, community-driven, and offer guidance. Conversely, interviewees rejected mechanisms that are mandatory, hierarchical, and inflexible. Applying these findings, we conclude that expert consultation and community review models appear to align well with ethical priorities and oversight preferences of many biomedical citizen scientists, although local conditions should guide the development and use of mechanisms in specific communities.

Title: A Deep Dive on Vulnerability Disclosure for Election Systems
When: Friday, Aug 6, 11:00 - 11:30 PDT
Where: Voting Village (Talks - Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Tod Beardsley
Tod Beardsley is the Director of Research at Rapid7. He has over 30 years of hands-on security experience, stretching from in-band telephony switching to modern IoT implementations. He has held IT Ops and Security positions in large organizations such as 3Com, Dell, and Westinghouse, as both an offensive and defensive practitioner. Today, Tod directs the security research program at Rapid7, is a zealous advocate for coordinated vulnerability disclosure, is a CVE Board member, is a contributing author to a number of research papers produced by Rapid7, and is often a Travis County Election Judge in Texas. Because of this last qualifier, it is permissible to address him as “Your Honor.”

Description:
The norms and practices of vulnerability disclosure among voting machine manufacturers and election infrastructure providers have radically changed since the first Voting Machine Hacking Village of DEFCON 25. In just a few short years, private companies in the election services sector have matured from recalcitrant, close-lipped antagonists to active and willing participants in coordinated vulnerability disclosure (CVD) with published vulnerability disclosure programs (VDPs). And yet, truly unbelievable claims about voting security have risen to the fore, and as a result, the public imagination around how cybersecurity works and what are realistic threats to election integrity seems more fanciful than ever. In this short presentation, we will explore how CVD works for voting machines and other election systems, provide guidance on how well-meaning, virtuous hackers can best interface with this niche but crucial industry, and how we can all do our part to bring some reason and rigor to the practice of information security when it comes to one of our most important institutions.

Twitter: @shirtamari

Description:
We present a novel class of DNS vulnerabilities that affects multiple DNS-as-a-Service (DNSaaS) providers. The vulnerabilities have been proven and successfully exploited on three major cloud providers including AWS Route 53 and may affect many others. Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow exfiltration of sensitive information from service customers' corporate networks. The leaked information contains internal and external IP addresses, computer names, and sometimes NTLM hashes. The number of organizations vulnerable to this weakness is shocking. Over a few hours of DNS sniffing, we received sensitive information carried by DNS update queries from ~1M Windows endpoints from around 15,000 potentially vulnerable companies, including 15 Fortune 500 companies. In some organizations, there were more than 20,000 endpoints that actively leaked their information out of the organization. We will review possible mitigations to this problem and solutions for both DNSaaS providers and managed networks.

Title: A SERVERLESS SIEM: DETECTING ALL BADDIES ON A BUDGET
When: Friday, Aug 6, 16:45 - 17:15 PDT
Where: Blue Team Village - Main Track (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Chen Cao
A security engineer at Cloudflare focuses on Detection and Response. Chen holds a Master of Science degree in Security Informatics from Johns Hopkins University and has been in the security industry for about 4 years now. He enjoys sharing & learning good practices in the industry and currently working on finding a reliable, scalable and cheap way for log collection and alerting.
Twitter: @chencao_cc

Description:
Commercial SIEMs are expensive, inflexible and risk a vendor lock-in. At Cloudflare, we built a SIEM using a Serverless architecture that provides scalability and flexibility to perform various Detection and Response functions. We will discuss this architecture and how it can be built upon to solve many Security problems, in a true pay-as-you-use model after 2 years of use handling Cloudflare’s data.

A SIEM is pivotal to a Threat Detection and Incident Response function. But, commercial SIEMs are expensive both in terms of cost of usage and maintenance, and risk a vendor lock-in. At Cloudflare, we build a SIEM to manage logs from 200+ data centers, 2000s endpoints and our corporate networks. The SIEM is built using a Serverless architecture in GCP that scales up and down based on usage, for a true pay-as-you-go model. It provides multiple data processing and analyzing paradigms that enable various D&R workflows. In this talk, we will discuss the motivation, constraints and the SIEM architecture. We’ll also dive into our logging pipeline, detection, automation and notification workflows using this SIEM.


Blue Team Village talks will be streamed to Twitch.

Title: A-ISAC CTF -- Pre-registration Required
When: Friday, Aug 6, 09:00 - 17:59 PDT
Where: Aerospace Village (Virtual CTF)

Description:
A-ISAC, ERAU with support from IntelliGenesis (CybatiWorks)

Day 1: Aug. 6th, 2021 9:00AM – 6:00PM PDT (UTC-7) Day 2: Aug. 7th, 2021 9:00AM – 6:00PM PDT (UTC-7)

Registration available at https://aisac.cyberskyline.com/defcon

Aviation ISAC is hosting a competition at DC29 Aerospace Village! This competition represents a simulated airport hosted on the Cyber Skyline platform and is developed by the Department of Cyber Intelligence and Security at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (Prescott) and Matthew E. Luallen, Chief Executive Inventor at CybatiWorks powered by IntelliGenesis. The ethical design of the competition is achieved through investigative themes that provides a focus in blue team while still offering red team aspects.

Storyline for CTF: On 8/6, an employee from ERAU Airline noticed a USB stick inside one of their kiosks. After further investigation, airport security suspects someone is carrying out an attack against the airport. You have been brought in to retrace the steps of the attackers, determine where security needs to be hardened, regain control of compromised systems, and prevent a successful attack at the airport. Identify the criminals by retracing their steps and utilizing OSINT to identify which suspects need to be arrested. Investigators have not ruled out insider threats which means you must remain undetected by airport staff while you attempt to regain control of the airport’s infrastructure. Good Luck and remember to register ahead of time!

CybatiWorks part of the CTF Stage 7: Runway Lighting System: The Runway Lighting System (RLS) was taken over by the attackers and the lights are operating erratically. Identify what the attackers have changed causing the RLS HMI systems to work improperly and regain access to the remote logic controller operating the runway lights. Update the logic on the HMI system, regain control of the remote logic controller and successfully operate the RLS.

Architecture Design: The competitors are provided with a CybatiWorks custom docker image that they use to gain access to the operator and maintenance HMI logic. The competitors will review and update the logic to match the documentation provided in stage 4. Once the local components are successfully completed the competitors will request access to the remote RLS logic controller (i.e. a Raspberry PI with a 3d printed/LED runway lighting system accessible via a VPN). The competitors will complete additional challenges to confirm the logic program and then remotely control the RLS. All remote RLS stations will be visible

Title: “Alexa, have you been compromised?” — Exploitation of Voice Assistants in Healthcare (and other business contexts)
When: Friday, Aug 6, 15:30 - 16:15 PDT
Where: IoT Village (Talk - Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Hutch (Justin Hutchens)
Justin Hutchens (“Hutch”) is the Assessments Services Practice Lead at Set Solutions and manages TVM, IR, and GRC services. He is the co-host of the "Ready, Set, Secure" InfoSec podcast. He is also the creator of Sociosploit, a research blog which examines exploitation opportunities on the social web – a confluence of his interests in both hacking and social psychology. Hutch has spoken at multiple conferences to include HouSecCon, ToorCon, and DEF CON.

Description:
As voice assistant technologies (such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant) become increasingly sophisticated, we are beginning to see adoption of these technologies in the workplace. Whether supporting conference room communications, or even supporting interactions between an organization and its customers — these technologies are becoming increasingly integrated into the ways that we do business. While implementations of these solutions can streamline operations, they are not always without risk. During this talk, the speaker will discuss lessons learned during a recent penetration test of a large-scale “Alexa for Business” implementation in a hospital environment where voice assistants were implemented to assist with patient interactions during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The speaker will provide a live demonstration of how a cyber-criminal could potentially use pre-staged AWS Lambda functions to compromise an “Alexa for Business” device with less than one-minute of physical access. Multiple attack scenarios will be discussed to include making Alexa verbally abuse her users (resulting in possible reputation damage), remote eavesdropping on user interactions, and even active “vishing” (voice phishing) attacks to obtain sensitive information. Finally, the talk will conclude with a discussion of best-practice hardening measures that can be taken to prevent your “Alexa for Business” devices from being transformed into foul-mouthed miscreants with malicious intent.

IoT Village talks will be streamed to Twitch. Select speakers may be available in the IoT Village on-site to answer questions.

Title: Abusing SAST tools! When scanners do more than just scanning
When: Friday, Aug 6, 15:00 - 15:45 PDT
Where: Track 2 Live; DCTV/Twitch #2 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:Rotem Bar

During his free time, Rotem plays with robotics, bug-bounty and and enjoys traveling with his family.

Twitter: @rotembar

Description:
When we write code, we often run many scanners for different purposes on our code - from linters, to testing, security scanning, secret scanning, and more.

Scanning the code occurs on developers' machines and in CI/CD pipelines, which assumes the code is untrusted and unverified and based on this assumption scanners shouldn't have the ability to dynamically run code.

Our research focuses on the many static analyzers out there if this is really the case. Many of the scanners allow different ways of interaction - From requesting external resources, overriding the configuration and to remote code execution as part of the process.This talk will be technical and show examples of well-known scanning tools and how we created code that attacks them.

TLDR -
When integrating and using new tools in our CI systems and especially when running on unverified code, Which tools can we trust and how can we scan safe untrusted code in a secure way?

Yaron holds an M.Sc. in Computer Science with focus on statistical analysis.
Twitter: @YaronZi

Description:
Over the years, researchers were able to break many secure protocols using MitM attacks. A common theme in this family of vulnerabilities is the lack of proper validation for any of the communicating parties. We will review previous MitM attacks found on AD authentication protocols and the mitigation strategies previously implemented. We will show that the relay attack technique is not limited to NTLM alone and can be used to attack the newer Kerberos authentication protocol. In addition, we will show several injection attacks compromising client systems. We’ll show how the lack of validation can lead to devastating issues ranging from authentication bypass to remote code execution on various critical infrastructure systems. However, the issues do not stop on Windows on-premises networks but span to other infrastructure such as domain-joined unix machines, virtualization infrastructure, open-source security audit tools and even cloud directories. The talk will deep-dive into multiple vulnerabilities we have discovered along with several demos. Demos include a MitM attack which allows an attacker to inject user passwords in a hybrid AD environment allowing the attacker to authenticate as any user in the network. We will also show how to use a similar technique to compromise many other IT infrastructure.

When: Friday, Aug 6, 14:15 - 15:15 PDT
Where: Blue Team Village - Main Track (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:John Bambenek
John Bambenek is President of Bambenek Labs, a threat intelligence firm, and a PhD student studying cyber security machine learning at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He has 20 years experience investigating cyber crime and has participated in large investigations in ransomware, the 2016 election-related hacking, and extremist fundraising in cryptocurrency.
Twitter: @bambenek

Description:
Most of DFIR work never makes it to a courtroom and even when it does it is often unchallenged. This talk will cover cases of doing pro bono digital forensics for public defenders and journalists and the shoddy work that often passes for science.

One of the major problems with our justice system is how the power dynamics work when one side of a legal dispute has resources and the other does not. This plays out in digital forensics too. Most of our work never ends up in court and is rarely challenged. While most of us are honest, there is far more work that needs to be done and not enough qualified people doing it. In short, not every analyst is qualified or experienced but their testimony is accepted unquestioned.

This talk will cover cases that were performed pro bono for clients who would not normally have access to an expert to challenge the government’s experts. Cautionary tales of bad analysis will be shown to emphasize the importance of sound forensic techniques and the risks of sloppy work.

The talk will end with a call to action for more professionals to contribute their time on similar pro bono efforts.


Blue Team Village talks will be streamed to Twitch.

Detailed Explanation of Tool:
AIS Tools is a suite of Perl scripts that allow a user to customize and parse National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) 0183 standard AIS messages (seen in over-the-air broadcasts per ITU Recommendation M.1371). It is conceptually based upon the TrendMicro AIS Blacktoolkit, but is an extension intended for research and development purposes by incorporating more message types and standard default values.

The suite includes the following programs and functions: AIS_menu: Allows the user to create a custom NMEA 0183 AIS message by entering parameters specific to a requested message type. (At this time, the tools supports 22 of the 27 message types.) The output of the program is a properly formatted command line with all appropriate switches for the AIS_ping program. AIS_ping: AIS_ping allows a user to define an AIS message that will be properly formatted but could, in fact, contain invalid parameter values (a la hping3). The output is a binary string representing the AIS message. The binary string could be directed to a radio transmission (using Blacktoolkit software for GNU Radio) or formatted into one or more AIS sentences using AIS_NMEA. AIS_NMEA: This program accepts an AIS message binary string and produces a set of one or more AIS sentences. AIS_parser: Decodes an NMEA binary string or AIS sentence, displaying the contents field by field. parser2html: Produces HTML formatting of parsed messages. timestamp_data: Capture live AIS data from over-the-air transmissions and store the sentences in a file with a timestamp. play_ais: Replay timestamped AIS data from a file. This is code that was used for research and development purposes, gathering input from, and directing output to, OpenCPN. Data can also be received and broadcast via software-defined radio.

More detail can be found in https://www.garykessler.net/software/AIS_README.TXT

Supporting Files, Code, etc: https://www.garykessler.net/software/index.html#ais

Target Audience:
Defense, students, researchers, product developers (but, like any good tool, can be used for offense)

This tool is specifically directed at those interested in maritime cybersecurity, particularly with respect to navigation systems, but applies to anyone interested in a deep understanding of the AIS protocol as observed in over-the-air transmissions. It will aid researchers in capturing and analyzing AIS data, and designing scenarios with which to prepare exercises and test products.

Description:
Amateur radio encompasses a broad range of activities and applications. From contests and events to emergency communications and public service, hams have many different interests they can explore. One area that is being enabled by modern wireless technologies is mesh networking. Typical digital radio modes, such as those based on AX.25, offer low data rates. While fairly robust and widely used, the low data rates of these modes limits their capabilities. Mesh networking, such as AREDN, can supplement and empower many aspects of your amateur radio operations - and the entry cost is quite low! This presentation will talk about what mesh networking is, how it is being used by amateur radio operators, and how you can get started with mesh networking yourself!

Description:
Gaps in the industrial cybersecurity workforce leave critical infrastructure assets vulnerable to attack. In a 2020 ICS2 report, 64% of companies reported a significant or slight shortage of cybersecurity professionals. At the same time, 56% of companies reported that their organization is extremely or moderately at risk due to the cyber workforce shortage. A National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) report found that industry-wide there was only one qualified worker to fill every 10 cybersecurity jobs in 2020. To protect the cyber-physical systems that form the lifeblood of the economy, something needs to be done to develop the ICS/OT cybersecurity workforce pipeline. This session will present models to attract, develop, and retain talent in industrial cybersecurity.

ICS Village will be releasing their events to YouTube at each event's scheduled time. Discussion will be available on Discord in #ics-speaker-questions-and-answers-text.

Where: Packet Hacking Village - Workshops (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:John Stoner , PRINCIPAL SECURITY STRATEGIST AT SPLUNK
John Stoner (Twitter: @stonerpsu) is a Principal Security Strategist at Splunk where he enjoys writing, problem solving and building stuff, including APT Scenarios. When not doing cyber things, you can find him watching his boys play hockey, reading or binge-watching TV series that everyone else has already seen.
Twitter: @stonerpsu

Description:
Interested in practicing your hunting skills? If so, this is the workshop for you. Using a real-worldish dataset, this workshop will teach you how to hunt the “fictional” APT group Violent Memmes. We discuss the Diamond model, building hypotheses, LM Kill Chain, and MITRE ATT&CK and how these concepts can frame your hunting. Using Splunk, we will hunt for APT activity riddling a small startup's environment. During the event, we will be presented with a "notable event" and pull on that string to conduct our own hunts based on indicators that we uncover or are identified. Depending on the hunt, we will uncover persistence, exfiltration, c2 and other adversary tactics. We may even find some PowerShell scripts. We will regroup and review the specific hunt conducted and discuss the timeline of events, a narrative that could be shared with others on your team, the artifacts that were uncovered to better identify potential future hunts, ATT&CK techniques referenced as well as what could be operationalized. At the end, we will highlight some additional datasets and content that you can take with you and try newly learned techniques yourself.

Description:
Advanced Persistent Threat. Where did this term come from? What does it really mean? Exactly how can you determine that it is a "nation state" as opposed to a run-of-the-mill attack? All of this will be explained in detail. As an example, I will use an actual attempt against my home system, with a review of collected data to illustrate the whole APT thing.

There are differences in how APT actors approach things, and this will be discussed from the perspective of someone who attacked plenty of systems in their youth - me. We'll talk about how APT differs from Red Teaming and Penetration Testing, and if you are trying to simulate it you need to throw the rulebook out of the window to do it right.


Adversary Village talks and workshops will be streamed on YouTube and Twitch.

Q&A sessions will happen in DEF CON Official Discord server after each talk.

However, unless the underlying cleartext password was common, this can take frustratingly long. Especially, for at-the-same-time attacks like the auto-crack-and-add we proposed in 2014 [1]. We’ll combine some prior work and release tooling to show how even extremely large hashlists can be run through in seconds.

MSCHAPv2 has several weaknesses, the first is that one doesn’t need the clear-text password, as merely having the MD4 hash (aka NT hash) of the password is good enough to prove to either a client or authenticator you know the password. This means we can use a technique proposed in 2020 by Sam Croley called hash shucking [2] to use large NT hash lists such as the Have I Been Pwned set [3] to determine the NT hash used in the exchange. We'll go through the theory of MSCHAPv2, why the NT hash is useful and how to use it, as well as how hashcat modes for cracking it were developed.

The second weakness relates to the work done by Moxie Marlinspike and David Hulton in 2012 [4] where they found that because MSCHAPv2 breaks the NT hash into three parts, and pads the last two bytes with NULLs, its trivially easy to brute force this part (the ass). Then a brute force of the first two parts is performed using only a single DES round by iterating the entire DES keyspace with an FPGA. However, most of us still don’t have our own MSCHAPv2 cracking FPGA rigs, and this attack isn’t widely available or practical. Instead, if we limit our input hashlist to only those with the matching last two bytes, we can perform a far more efficient hash shucking attack against the exchange. We'll go through the theory of MSCHAPv2 in use here and the optimisations devised with an associated tool.

Finally, we’ll end on why we think MSCHAPv2 needs to finally die the death it has so deserved for so long.

A huge fan of OSS projects, Wes loves to solve problems and enhance security using completely free and easily deployable tools.
Twitter: @therealwlambert

Description:
In this workshop, we’ll leverage Prelude Operator, an easy-to-use desktop platform for autonomous red teaming. With Operator, we can generate adversary profiles, complete with TTPs and goals, then deploy an “adversary”, evaluating our detection coverage against the MITRE ATT&CK framework using Security Onion, a free and open platform for intrusion detection, enterprise security monitoring, and log management. By providing network, host, and other types of data, Security Onion can provide a leg up to defenders, allowing them to track down their adversaries and make them cry.

This talk will go over the introduction of red/purple teaming, along with how individuals can emulate adversary actions, as well as track those actions across their enterprise, evaluating their detection coverage.

We'll first go over how a tool like Prelude Operator can be used to emulate these adversary actions, then learn how Security Onion can be leveraged to detect these actions and track our coverage across the MITRE attack framework.

Throughout the discussion the following tools will be introduced:

Prelude Operator - autonomous red-teaming platform, creating adversaries to test detection Zeek - Policy-neutral NIDS
Suricata - Signature-based NIDS
Stenographer – Full Packet capture
Playbook - Detection development
ATT&CK Navigator - Track detection coverage Strelka - File analysis

Short, yet packed with information talk about why ATMs are bad, why they are a literal magnet for criminals, what types of attacks do actually happen and why it is so bloody hard to do any kind of research on them, unless you are a criminal. I won't bore you with stuff you can read on Wikipedia but rather give you an overview of terms, parts and crazy things people do to either get the money out of you or out of an ATM itself. And, what can you do to try and protect yourself and what to do when you see something 'that doesn't look right'. Don't tear off the magstripe from your card, though.

Stephen served in the United States Air Force from 1984 to 2012, and has a unique perspective of the Cybersecurity field as he has been participating in both the culture and the proffession since it's infancy.
Twitter: @The Madhatter

Description:
In this talk I will analyze the pipeline between many Black Cyber Practitioners that were never credited or brought to the forefront and the certification plans/materials being developed for the progression of the holistic industry, as well as discuss the premise; "How much of their non-profit revenue is being invested into the Black Community which they cleverly so snared into the premise of being qualified to do a job."

In1982, CompTIA was started under another name, yet still CompTIA. In 1989, SANS/GIAC was started and in 1992, ISC2 released the CBK that would 2 years later become the CISSP. In 2001, the EC Council formed in response to the attacks on the World Trade Center. Before these so-called cybersecurity certifications, how did the founders and instructors get certified to even instruct or create these organizations? Materials such as the Rainbow Books Series were the mainstay in the Trust Computing Model environment that are still being implemented today, just rebranded. These institutions implemented disproportionate programs when they gained traction and Cyber specific programs became profitable without giving up their "non-profit" status.

Title: Blockchain as a Threat Modeling Thinking Tool
When: Thursday, Aug 5, 21:00 - 20:59 PDT
Where: Blockchain Village (YouTube)

SpeakerBio:Shinchul Park, Graduate Student
Shinchul Park is graduate student at the School of Cybersecurity, Korea University from 2021 and his research areas focus on security engineering, blockchain.

Description:
Threat modelling is a risk-based approach to designing secure systems. It is based on identifying threats in order to develop mitigations to them. Threat modeling is a “team sport,” because it requires the knowledge and skill set of a diverse team where all inputs can be viewed as equal in value. As the enabler of mass collaboration, blockchain is the framework that pieces everything together at a larger scale.

In this talk, we propose the first platform that combines blockchain with threat modeling. To this end, we first present a system model that combines a blockchain-based collective intelligence system with threat modeling, and then explain the role of the model, the scheme of the tool, and the operation procedure.

Title: BLUEMONDAY Series – Exploitation & Mapping of vulnerable devices at scale through self-registration services (DATTO/ EGNYTE/ SYNOLOGY/ MERAKI/ GEOVISION)
When: Friday, Aug 6, 14:30 - 15:15 PDT
Where: IoT Village (Talk - Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Ken Pyle
Ken Pyle is a partner of CYBIR, specializing in Information Security, exploit development, penetration testing and enterprise risk management. Ken is a graduate professor of CyberSecurity at Chestnut Hill College. He has published academic works on a wide range of topics and has presented at industry events such as ShmooCon, Secureworld, HTCIA International.

Description:
Vendors like DATTO, MERAKI, GEOVISION, SYNOLOGY, EGNYTE and others are which leverage or depend on these services are imperiling data, networks, and businesses through insecure design, intentional design decisions, and web application flaws.

These devices frequently self-provision services which leak critical data or through insecure network design and installation practices which are easily mapped, attacked, and discovered via insecure vendor, software, and integrator practices (ex. PKI, Dynamic DNS, “Finder” service registrations, DNS leakage, Layer 2 Attacks / DHCP network attacks, DNS passive hijacking through domain purchases & active record injection)

Some concepts and new attacks may be obliquely referenced or held private by the researcher. Essential PoC is contained in this document and is easily reproduced using supplied narrative and screenshots.

The affected devices are easily discoverable either through insecure practices (ex. insecure Zones, algorithmic FQDN generation, lack of local network controls, public metadata leakage) or vendor provided interfaces and access methods. (DATTOWEB, DATTOLOCAL, SYNOLOGY.ME, DYNAMIC-M, GVDIP.COM, EGNYTE-APPLIANCE.COM)

Many issues develop due to these problems. For example, nearly all of these devices and appliances provide easily discoverable portals / content / metadata with which to craft extremely convincing social engineering campaigns, even in the absence of technical exploit vectors.

Host Header Attacks & 302 redirects used in concert with malicious DNS records / spoofed or squatted domains can be abused in this manner. An attacker can identify the MERAKI device a victim uses through registration, abuse the API to obtain sensitive metadata, and send the victim to a spoofed site or malicious content purported to be a Meraki Dashboard alert. An attacker can change the dynamic DNS record through a number of vectors (ex. Third party service attacks, local vectors) and effectively “hijack” the user or content being accessed.

Through our DNS harvesting and our undisclosed 0-days, we can establish a complex exploit network and botnet via poor vendor controls (ex. MIRAI) We can also hide exploit code in APIs, persist across multiple appliance types, and abuse multiple dynamic DNS networks.

The DNS zones we have provided are intentionally designed, demonstrably insecure, provide detailed information, and can be abused easily. Registrations can be abused for data exfiltration or beaconing over the vendor’s DNS network. These DYNAMIC DNS services allow for efficient, mass exploitation and recon. The poor controls and “spoofability” of these networks (will demonstrate at another time) allow an attacker to not only FIND vulnerable devices.. but automate mass exploitation via attacks such as those we provided or other common attacks.

The author wishes for this to be noted as responsible disclosure and ethical considerations for the attacks / exploits seriously impacted disclosure dates and continues to.

Some initial work can be found here:

Title: Breaking Historical Ciphers with Modern Algorithms
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 11:30 - 12:30 PDT
Where: Crypto & Privacy Village (Virtual)
Speakers:Elonka Dunin,Klaus Schmeh

SpeakerBio:Elonka Dunin
Elonka Dunin is co-founder of a group working to crack the Kryptos sculpture at CIA Headquarters, and a member of the National Cryptologic Foundation’s Board of Directors. Bestselling author Dan Brown named a character after her in one of his novels. She maintains popular websites about the world's most famous unsolved codes, and her publications include the book with Klaus Schmeh, "Codebreaking: A Practical Guide”, as well as a Cryptologia paper on Playfair cipher world records. She has also developed award-winning games at companies such as Simutronics.

SpeakerBio:Klaus Schmeh
Klaus Schmeh is the most-published cryptology author in the world. He has written 15 books about the subject, as well as over 200 articles, 25 scientific papers, and 1,400 blog posts. His blog "Cipherbrain" covers codebreaking and crypto history, and he is a member of the editorial board of the scientific magazine Cryptologia. He co-published his latest book "Codebreaking: A Practical Guide" with Elonka Dunin. He is known for his entertaining presentation style involving self-drawn cartoons and Lego models, and he has lectured at hundreds of conferences, including the NSA Cryptologic History Symposium and the RSA Conference. In his day job, Klaus works for a German cryptology company.

Description:
Many old encryption methods are still hard to break today. For instance, cryptanalyzing a short 19th century Playfair cipher is far from trivial. WW2 Enigma messages, spy ciphers from the Cold War, and manual methods used by criminals such as the Zodiac Killer can also be challenging, especially when the ciphertexts are short. On the other hand, techniques for breaking historical ciphers have recently made considerable progress. Computer-based cryptanalysis methods such as hill climbing and simulated annealing have been successfully applied to break original WWII Enigma messages, as well as one of the world's most famous unsolved codes, a 1970 ciphertext sent by the Zodiac Killer. The record in solving short Playfair messages has improved: whereas many years ago the shortest Playfair ciphertext that could be cracked required a minimum of 60 letters, now messages as short as 26 letters have been solved. However, many other historical ciphertexts are still unbroken to date. This presentation will introduce the most important historical ciphers, and modern techniques to break them - based on the 2020 book "Codebreaking: A Practical Guide" authored by the presenters. Many real-world examples will be provided, with slides that use an entertaining style including Lego brick models, self-drawn cartoons, and animations.

Crypto & Privacy Village will be streaming their events to YouTube and Twitch.

Title: Breaking Secure Bootloaders
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 15:00 - 15:59 PDT
Where: DCTV/Twitch #3 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:Christopher Wade
Christopher is a seasoned security researcher and consultant. His main focuses are in reverse engineering hardware, fingerprinting USB vulnerabilities and playing with Software Defined Radios, with his key strength lying in firmware analysis, which he utilizes as part of the hardware testing team at Pen Test Partners.
Twitter: @Iskuri1
https://github.com/Iskuri

Description:
Bootloaders often use signature verification mechanisms in order to protect a device from executing malicious software. This talk aims to outline actionable weaknesses in modern bootloaders which allow attackers to deploy unsigned code, despite these protection mechanisms.

In the first phase of this talk, we will discuss exploitation of the bootloaders in modern Android smartphones, demonstrating weaknesses which allow for bypassing bootloader unlocking restrictions, decryption of protected user data, and deployment of malicious software to devices using full disk encryption.

In the second phase, we will discuss bootloader weaknesses in the secondary hardware used by smartphones. Using an embedded RF chip as a target, we will demonstrate reverse engineering techniques which identified weaknesses in the signature verification mechanisms of the firmware update protocols used by the bootloader, allowing for deployment of custom firmware to the chip.

Twitter: @kc8apf

Description:
The concept of Trusted Execution Environments has been broadly introduced to microcontrollers with ARM’s TrustZone-M. While much experience with TrustZone-A can be applied, architectural differences with ARMv8-M lead to a very different approach to configuration and transitions between secure and non-secure worlds. This talk will deep dive into how TrustZone-M works, where to look for weaknesses in implementations, and a detailed look into NXP LPC55S69’s implementation including discovering an undocumented peripheral that leads to a priviledge escalation vulnerability exploitable with TrustedFirmware-M. Finally, NXP PSIRT will be used as a case study in how not to respond to a vulnerability report.

Title: BTV Presents: Forensics Station - Workshop 1
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 14:00 - 15:30 PDT
Where: Blue Team Village - Workshop Track 2 (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Omenscan
I do stuff. Sometimes it works.

Description:
Forensics Station - Workshop 1
A walkthrough of triaging "compromised" Capstone servers.

In this workshop we will walk through a quick forensic triage of the "compromised" BTV Capstone servers.

Capstone is a Blue Team Village initiative to build and attack servers (and workstations) in a controlled environment, using common attacker techniques and tools in a safe way. We then use common Blue Team defender tools to gather information and review those machines, in order to train defenders on detecting, handling, and understanding common attacks.

This is the forensics workshop, and it will cover forensic triage. It's goal is to quickly answer some basic questions like:

Did Something Happen?
If So, When Did it Happen?
What Artifacts Can Help Us?
What Forensic Tools Can Help Us?
What Should We Look at Next?

The Capstone Project will provide the Telemetry and Artifacts to the community so they can use their own tools to explore the data and share findings. We encourage everyone at every level to participate and share findings - so everyone can learn and collaborate.

Description:
Follow along as we spin the Threat Report Roulette Wheel and provide rapid fire responses to how we would create actionable takeaways from the publicly available, TLP: White Threat Reports. Pick up some tips and tricks to up your game! Check out our Github with links to the reports: https://github.com/ch33r10/DEFCON29-BTV-ThreatReportRoulette https://bit.ly/DC29Roulette

Threat Report Roulette will not discuss normal (BAU) CTI actions, such as searching the logs for hits on the IOCs or entering the IOCs into a Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) or other alerting platform. Instead, the participants will focus on pivoting, TTPs, and how they would take the contents in the Threat Report to the NEXT LEVEL! When the Panelists respond to the threat reports, they are operating under the assumption that they performed the preliminary analysis and deemed the threat report relevant to their environment. The purpose of this assumption is to decrease the amount of debate on whether or not something is relevant to get to the part of the analysis that involves extracting actionable takeaways.

Spin the Threat Report Roulette Wheel - Link Moderator calls on Participant.
Participant is in the Hot Seat:

        15 seconds to organize their thoughts.
        1-5 minutes to share their thoughts on how they would get value out of the report.
    Panelists' input:
        3-5 minutes to share their insights as a group. Quick commentary that is short, sweet, rapid-fire, direct, and to the point!

Rinse & Repeat!

It covers multiple technical aspects about IT infrastructure, PLC configuration and programming, ICS protocols and specific methodologies for red and blue teaming. Beginning with a bridge operation scenario we planned our approach on implementing the ICS Firing Range addressing all levels of the Purdue Model, from enterprise to physical processes. We were faced with a variety of practical challenges and challenges specific to the ICS context and prototyping: we learned how to implement ladder logic, how CAD modelling works, how to print 3D models with a 3D printer and how to combine all ICS and bridge components into a single, confined and mobile lab environment. Lastly, we designed a series of kill chains for our firing range that we use for trainings on a variety of professions such as digital forensics and incident response.

ICS Village will be releasing their events to YouTube at each event's scheduled time. Discussion will be available on Discord in #ics-speaker-questions-and-answers-text.

Title: Bundles of Joy: Breaking macOS via Subverted Applications Bundles
When: Friday, Aug 6, 16:00 - 16:45 PDT
Where: Track 2 Live; DCTV/Twitch #2 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:Patrick Wardle
Patrick Wardle is the founder of Objective-See. Having worked at NASA and the NSA, as well as presenting at countless security conferences, he is intimately familiar with aliens, spies, and talking nerdy. Patrick is passionate about all things related to macOS security and thus spends his days finding Apple 0days, analyzing macOS malware, and writing free open-source security tools to protect Mac users.

Description:
A recent vulnerability, CVE-2021-30657, neatly bypassed a myriad of foundational macOS security features such as File Quarantine, Gatekeeper, and Notarization. Armed with this capability attackers could (and were!) hacking macOS systems with a simple user (double)-click. Yikes!

In this presentation we’ll dig deep into the bowels of macOS to uncover the root cause of the bug: a subtle logic flaw in the complex and undocumented policy subsystem. Moreover, we’ll highlight the discovery of malware exploiting this bug as an 0day, reversing Apple’s patch, and discuss novel methods of both detection and prevention.

Title: C2Centipede: APT level C2 communications for common reverse HTTP shell tools
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 17:15 - 18:15 PDT
Where: Adversary Village (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Jose Garduno , Senior Security Consultant, Dreamlab Technologies AG
José Garduño is a senior security consultant at Dreamlab Technologies since 2014, where he usually takes part in security audits, pentesting and red teaming engagements. He has participated as a speaker in several technical conferences like: Hackito Ergo Sum (France), Swiss Cybersecurity days (Switzerland), DSS ITSEC (Latvia), 8.8 Security Conference (Chile, Bolivia), OWASP Patagonia (Argentina), Congreso Seguridad en Computo UNAM (Mexico), DragonJar Security Conference (Colombia), where he has presented his work on privacy attacks on Latin-America (The government as your hacking partner), Hacking with open hardware platforms (revisiting hardware keyloggers, say hi to mikey: an offensive hardware keylogger) and C2 detection (RATSPOTTING: Analysis of popular Remote Administration Tools & discovery of C2 servers on the wild)

Description:
Adversaries have been continuously improving their malware to be stealthier and more resilient on both the victim’s host as well as on the network.Examples of these innovations on the latter include Fast Flux networks, Domain Generation Algorithms and Domain Fronting among other techniques.

Unfortunately, open source tools for threat emulation currently have limited support for such advanced features, leaving redteams with easy to detect C2 communications. We present C2Centipede, a proxy tool that provides these features to HTTP reverse shell tools (like Metasploit or Empire) to be stealthier on the network by dynamically and transparently modifying the trojan’s C2 communication routing and beaconing strategies, with the aim of evading some of the blueteam’s detection strategies.

BEACONING EVASION

Detection of HTTP reverse shell beaconing activity is possible because most of the patterns on which malware sends the beacons through the network can be identified as they occur in static time intervals or are adjusted in specific increments, attributes which are possible to detect using statistical analysis.[1]

For instance, Metasploit’s reverse_http meterpreter sends a message to the C2 server every 100 milliseconds and increases the interval by this same measure each time the C2 server gives no new jobs to the trojan, up to a maximum of 10 seconds.[2]

It is easy then for tools like RITA to perform statistical analysis on the number, timing and size of connections between pairs of hosts (source, destination)[3]. This IP-pair evaluation works in the most typical approach of having only one IP per C2 server. We implement a beaconing detection evasion method that works by 1) Altering the trojan’s C2 communication message interval and 2) Splitting and routing the C2 communication among many C2 server addresses to hide beaconing and exfiltration.

JITTER MODIFICATION

The Achille’s heel of most RAT (Remote Access Trojan) and TES (Threat Emulation Software) tools network stealthiness is fixed beaconing intervals. The time interval between each message that goes to the C2 server is usually hardcoded and just too short, making manyrequests across the network, so we have incorporated in the tool, better control of the beaconing, with the possibility of modifying the jitter on the fly or having preset configurations, like allowing C2 communication just on certain time window.

Some RAT/TES tools will fail after a specific amount of unsuccessful C2 communication attempts, so the C2Centipede proxy client cannot just drop the HTTP calls that don’t fit the operator’s beaconing strategy, therefore fake C2 response messages are generated in order to keep the trojan alive.

FAUX FLUX

The concept of Fast Flux networks as a technique to improve a botnet’s C2 availability has been in use since 2007-2008.[4] Using this technique, an attacker can hide the real C2 server behind proxies (which are usually compromised edge servers in a botnet), and distributing said proxies IPs through DNS records with a very low TTL[5], allowing them to rapidly (and thus the name fast flux) change the resolved IP for a given domain name. This results in making the shutdown of each C2 IP so difficult as to be usually compared to a whack a mole game.[4] The weakness of this approach is the reliance on a domain name[5], which can be sinkholed by the domain name registrar, as in the case of the shutdown of the Conficker botnet.[4] Some of the common detection methods for Fast Flux networks is the low TTL (time to live) of the record and a high number of IPs resolved for that record.[3]

We have incorporated the C2 proxying technique without the DNS and botnet requirements by utilizing open reverse tcp/http tunnels found on the internet, which provide plenty of IP addresses on which we can spread our C2 comms and provide anonymity as the real C2 server is hidden behind the reverse proxy. In our most recent internet-wide survey we found more than 1.5K servers that could be abused for this purpose

MULTIFRONTING

Domain fronting (ATT&CK T1090.004) is a widely used technique for evading network detection. This technique hides the trojan’s HTTP requests to the C2 as if it was directed to another domain hosted on the same Content Delivery Network (CDN) as the attacker’s. Without TLS inspection, where a mismatch between TLS’s SNI and the HTTP header could be detected, it becomes very hard for the defenders to detect malicious traffic using this technique, having as a last resource the detection via statistical analysis like beaconing detection.

C2Centipede has the ability to utilize multiple domain fronting configurations, which are not necessarily on the same CDN, this provides additional resilience in case one of the CDN providers blocks the redteamer’s account.

DOMAIN GENERATION ALGORITHMS

We have incorporated Flubot’s algorithm for Domain Generation Algorithm (ATT&CK: T1568.002). The seed, and maximum number of domains generated are easily configurable.

DYNAMIC PROXY CONFIGURATION

C2Centipede’s configuration on the server and client can be modified on the fly by the operator. The original trojan’s and C2 messages are wrapped in the tool’s own HTTP messages along with the configuration changes of the routing, jitter and encryption settings for the c2centipede client and server. These are piggybacked on the original HTTP requests, requiring no additional “noise” in the network.

LIMITATIONS

The tool currently works with reverse HTTP shells that close the TCP connections (eg. Metasploit, Empire) and currently does not support those with long connections (eg. PoshC2, Koadic)

Title: Catching (and Fixing) an Unlimited Burn Vulnerability
When: Friday, Aug 6, 13:00 - 13:59 PDT
Where: Blockchain Village / Paris Vendome B

SpeakerBio:Nadir Akhtar , Blockchain Security Engineer, Coinbase
Blockchain security engineer @ Coinbase with deep expertise in digital asset security vulnerabilities https://blog.coinbase.com/securing-an-erc-20-token-for-launch-on-coinbase-68313652768f Former President, Blockchain @ Berkeley edX Blockchain Fundamentals curriculum developer and lecturer

Nadir Akhtar is a Blockchain Security engineer at Coinbase, where he leads security reviews of assets under consideration for Coinbase listing. Previously at Quantstamp, he audited smart contracts and contributed to a book on smart contract security fundamentals. He graduated from UC Berkeley in 2019 with a degree in Computer Science. During his time in Blockchain at Berkeley, he was President and an instructor for the UC Berkeley-endorsed blockchain fundamentals edX course series, reaching over 225,000 enrolled students to date.


Description:
Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more blockchains come with an infamous storage problem: taking up too much space on miners’ hard drives. In response, protocols are implementing novel methods for reducing the size of the blockchain, often deleting accounts beneath a certain balance. DOT provides a case study of the financial consequences to exchanges of pruning account data.

In this talk, you’ll learn about Polkadot’s reaping mechanism and its implications for exchanges and other organizations managing DOT at scale. We’ll dive into the “Existential Deposit,” understanding its motivation for existing in the network as well as the implications of pruning account data below a certain threshold, namely replay attacks.

We’ll discover how replay attacks can be performed, as well as their consequences through a demonstration along with some protocol-level mitigations. We’ll discuss how naively reaping accounts can still expose exchanges to attacks, investigate potential but infeasible mitigations, then finally reveal the solution which Coinbase discovered for protection against replay attacks.

Finally, we’ll examine some final edge cases which arose from the final solution, demonstrating that protecting against attacks may not be perfect but significantly improves our defenses.

Description:
Apple's iOS, macOS and other OS have existed for a long time. There are numerous interesting logic bugs hidden for many years. We demonstrated the world's first public 0day exploit running natively on Apple M1 on a MacBook Air (M1, 2020). Without any modification, we exploited an iPhone 12 Pro with the same bug.

In this talk, we will show you the advantage and beauty of the IPC logic bugs, how we rule all Apple platforms, Intel and Apple Silicon alike, even with all the latest hardware mitigations enabled, without changing one line of code. We would talk about the security features introduced by Apple M1, like Pointer Authentication Code (PAC), System Integrity, and Data Protection. How did they make exploiting much harder to provide better security and protect user's privacy. We will talk about different IPC mechanisms like Mach Message, XPC, and NSXPC. They are widely used on Apple platforms which could be abused to break the well designed security boundaries.

We will walk you through some incredibly fun logic bugs we have discovered, share the stories behind them and methods of finding them, and also talk about how to exploit these logic bugs to achieve privilege escalation.

Title: Central bank digital currency, threats and vulnerabilities
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 15:00 - 15:45 PDT
Where: Track 2 Live; DCTV/Twitch #2 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:Ian Vitek
Ian Vitek has a background as a pentester but has worked with information security in the Swedish financial sector the last 10 years. Currently working with security of the Swedish retail central bank digital currency prototype at the Riksbank, the Swedish central bank. Interested in web application security, network layer 2 (the writer of macof), DMA attacks and local pin bypass attacks (found some on iPhone).

Description:
What are the threats and vulnerabilities of a retail central bank digital currency (CBDC)? The central bank of Sweden has built a prototype of a retail CBDC system and I will run through the procurement requirements and design and point out where a two-tier CBDC need protection against attacks. The prototype is built on Corda Token SDK and I have during tests found reliable ways to exploit weaknesses in the design. The presentation will focus on the vulnerabilities that can crash the service that handles the tokens and permanently lock tokens rendering tokens and digital wallets useless. The presentation will also go into detail how tokens are validated and how information from all earlier transactions is needed for this. With D3.js and HTML5 I will visualize the token history (backchain) and describe how this can be a problem with GDPR and the Swedish bank secrecy regulation.

The presentation will end with a summary of identified threats and weaknesses of a two-tier retail central bank digital currency prototype and how to handle them. The goal of the presentation is to give the attendees insight of the security implications, challenges depending on the design and where an attack can be carried out and everything that cannot be missed when designing a CBDC.

Description:
Most of us are not lucky enough to have architected the perfect cloud environment, according to this month's best practices, and without any legacy elements or ""surprise"" assets. Over the course of a career in cloud security, you'll likely find yourself walking into a new environment and needing to rapidly orient yourself to both mitigate the biggest risks and also develop a roadmap towards a sustainable, secure future. As a security consultant, I had the challenge and opportunity to enter blind into a variety of cloud environments. They were across Azure, GCP, and AWS, some well-architected and others organically sprawling, containing a single account/project and hundreds. This gave me a rapid education in how to find the information necessary to familiarize myself with the environment, dig in to identify the risks that matter, and put together remediation plans that address short, medium, and long term goals. This talk will present a cloud and environment agnostic methodology for getting your bearings if tasked with securing a novel cloud environment. We'll learn by applying this to a sample AWS environment in order to cover:

Title: Collecting CANs: a Bridge Less Traveled
When: Friday, Aug 6, 15:30 - 15:55 PDT
Where: Aerospace Village (Virtual Talk)

SpeakerBio:Peace Barry
Having worked as a Metasploit developer and later as a manager of Metasploit development at Rapid7, Pearce currently keeps busy doing security research at Rumble, Inc. and following advances in space technologies.

Description:
We’ll step back a few years to early 2017, when @zombieCraig released the Metasploit Hardware Bridge as a mechanism to allow Metasploit Framework to reach into networks beyond Ethernet. While the now-defunct HWBridge initially focused on automotive targets, some of that tech, including CAN buses and RF transceivers, has commonality in aviation targets. In this talk, we’ll cover basic design and use of the HWBridge, how one can use it with CAN and RF transceivers, and what it takes to set it up.

Included is an overview and introduction to commercial transportation, specifically trucking (tractors and trailers), and its technologies. It will cover the vehicle networks J1939, J1708/J1587 and J2497, how they operate and what they can be used for both intentionally and unintentionally. Several tools for truck hacking are presented and a survey of the public truck attacks are covered. Many tools are introduced and discussed, some are covered with examples. Attendees should leave with a good sense of what are the potentially fruitful areas of technical research into commercial transport cybersecurity and how they can equip themselves to successfully explore those areas. Some exposure to the CAN bus is assumed but no specific experience with commercial transport is needed.

When: Friday, Aug 6, 10:00 - 10:59 PDT
Where: Policy (Virtual & SkyView 1)

Description:
In the last 12 months, the Supreme Court has weighed in on the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, a groundswell of support has arisen in the UK to reform the Computer Misuse Act, and a proposed law in Mexico would have criminalized hacking. In all cases, members of the hacker community had a voice. And with several more upcoming in the next 12 months, our community needs to continue engaging with policymakers so they understand our value to the global security ecosystem.

When: Friday, Aug 6, 15:30 - 16:30 PDT
Where: Policy (Virtual)

Description:
Ten years ago the Internet nearly changed forever, with the passage of the SOPA/PIPA bills. Driven by copyright interests, it would have unleashed new powers for individuals and governments to censor speech online. Thanks to the public outrage by enough users, those bills didn't make it into law. But whether it comes cloaked in copyright, privacy, antitrust, or some other initiative, the appetite to control speech still continues to inform Internet policymaking discussions. Will they succeed this time in shaping new law? What happens to the Internet if they do? Come discuss these and other questions with Internet policy practitioners who interact with them daily.

Title: Community Roundtable - RANSOMWARE: Combatting Ransomware on a Global Stage / The realities of responding to ransomware
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 13:00 - 14:59 PDT
Where: Policy (Virtual & SkyView 1)

Description:
Part 1:
Ransomware has made front page headlines and taken top stage in policy conversations, with even the US President issuing a letter to CEOs, Congress grilling Colonial Pipeline’s CEO, and the president of France committing 1 Billion Euro to fight ransomware in hospitals. While drafting and spreading technical “best practices” have failed to protect critical infrastructure around the world, which public policy levers are best suited to do so?

Part 2:
If it's Tuesday, it must be another ransomware attack. So what is a law-abiding company to do? If they pay, it just encourages the attacks. If they don't, then their business may suffer, or worse. Meanwhile, breach-notification regulation may have started a ticking clock forcing their hand – potentially in ways that are counter-productive to other policy efforts to stem the tide of these attacks. In this session we'll confront the practical realities and policy dilemmas these attacks provoke.

When: Saturday, Aug 7, 10:00 - 10:59 PDT
Where: Policy (Onsite - SkyView 3)

Description:
This session will dive into the wide and wonderful world of “cyber norms” – the long-running international discussions seeking to establish rules of the road of behavior in cyberspace. After years of prolonged discussions in the United Nations but also informal groups like the Global Commission on the Stability of Cyberspace, we seem to be at an impasse – do we want to simply reinforce the already agreed upon 11 norms (like “non-interference in critical infrastructure”), do we want to expand the list of norms to include new behavior (like protecting the basic infrastructure of the Internet), or do we want to do both? And who is this “we” anyway? We'll kick off with a deeper look at the state of norm discussions and then open for a wider Q/A and discussion on what norms can and could do.

Description:
The recent cybersecurity Executive Order called for several new protections for US Federal networks and the nation's critical infrastructure, though some of these are undefined. While Zero Trust Architectures neatly fit into vendor buzzword bingo, what are they really? And how can you define critical software when any software on a critical system could cause harm? How would a Cyber Safety Review Board weigh in on issues where bits and bytes meet flesh and blood? Join this session to talk through some of the implications.

Twitter: @dan_gunter

Description:
Protecting industrial control systems involves a variety of challenges, from low tolerance of downtime to requiring a very deliberate combination of approaches and tools to ensure the integrity and availability of the environment. These environmental challenges can often stovepipe our thoughts around how we can respond to threats to control systems in making us think that one source of data is the only option. In this talk, we will consider the strengths and weaknesses of different data sources to include network and host sources. Using data from MITRE Engenuity's recent ICS ATT&CK evaluation, we will talk about known attacker TTPs, how to detect TTPs, and how to improve the chance of adversary detection by diversifying data sources. As collecting and processing more data is both a technical and staffing challenge, we will discuss how analysis can scale without requiring a significant resource increase.

ICS Village will be releasing their events to YouTube at each event's scheduled time. Discussion will be available on Discord in #ics-speaker-questions-and-answers-text.

He has more than 17 years of experience in information security and previously worked in: one of the world's leading payment card service providers, Big4 consulting company and vendor of network encryption devices. Jakub holds a Ph.D. degree from Warsaw University of Technology. During the last 3 years he has reported more than 50 CVEs (security vulnerabilities) in publiccomponents - mainly IoT libraries.

Description:
Tool or Project Name: Cotopaxi

Short Abstract:
Cotopaxi is a set of tools for security testing of Internet of Things devices using specific network IoT/IIoT/M2M protocols (AMQP, CoAP, DTLS, gRPC, HTTP/2, HTCPCP, KNX, mDNS, MQTT, MQTT-SN, QUIC, RTSP, SSDP).

Short Developer Bio:
Jakub Botwicz, Ph.D. works as a security researcher in one of global investment banks. He has more than 17 years of experience in information security and previously worked in: one of the world's leading payment card service providers, Big4 consulting company and vendor of network encryption devices. Jakub holds a Ph.D. degree from Warsaw University of Technology. During the last 3 years he has reported more than 50 CVEs (security vulnerabilities) in publiccomponents - mainly IoT libraries.

URL to any additional information:
https://github.com/Samsung/cotopaxi/...aster/cotopaxi

Detailed Explanation of Tool:
Currently available tools used for security testing, like nmap or OpenVAS, do not support all new IoT protocols (e.g. CoAP, DTLS, HTCPCP, QUIC). So possibilities to test IoT products and discover such devices in tested networks are limited. We are working to fill this gap with the Cotopaxi toolkit.

New features in the release for DEF CON 2021 are: Integration with Metasploit
Extended set of corpuses for fuzzing and traffic classification Mutation-based features for server and client fuzzing New vulnerabilities in the database
Main features of our toolkit are:
Checking availability of network services for supported IoT protocols at given IPs and port ranges ("service ping") Recognizing the software used by remote network server ("software fingerprinting") based on responses for given messages using machine learning classifier, Analysis of network traffic to identify network protocols used. Classification of IoT devices based on captured traffic samples. Discovering resources identified by given URLs ("dirbusting" of URLs or services) Performing black-box fuzzing of IoT protocols based on corpus of packets prepared using coverage-based fuzzer. Identifying known vulnerabilities.
Detecting network traffic amplification (cases where network servers are responding with larger network messages than received requests).

Title: CPDLC: Man-in-the-middle attacks and how to defend against them
When: Friday, Aug 6, 14:30 - 14:55 PDT
Where: Aerospace Village (Virtual Talk)

SpeakerBio:Joshua Smailes
No BIO available

Description:
The Controller Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) protocol replaces voice-based air traffic control with a text-based protocol. With no real security protections, this system is open to a wide range of message injection attacks. It has long been assumed that air traffic controllers and flight crew should be able to detect such attacks, but this is not always the case.

We construct a realistic threat model for CPDLC and introduce attacks on the underlying protocol, taking advantage of automated components of the system to make attacks which are difficult for human operators to detect. We also propose a number of improvements to CPDLC to mitigate these threats.

Description:
Typical views of cyber-focused attacks on electric utilities emphasize direct impacts to generation, transmission, or distribution assets. While some examples of this activity exist, most notably in Ukraine, such actions are relatively difficult given technical and access requirements to properly execute. Less explored, but far more dangerous, are critical dependencies in electric utility operations which are often more exposed to IT networks and require less specialized knowledge to subvert. This presentation will examine some of these dependencies and their implications to show how ICS-centric defense must include relevant IT links and functional requirements.

ICS Village will be releasing their events to YouTube at each event's scheduled time. Discussion will be available on Discord in #ics-speaker-questions-and-answers-text.

Description:
You've seen talks about container hacking. You've seen talks about mainframe hacking. But how often do you see them together? IBM decided to put containers on a mainframe, so a container hacker and a mainframe hacker decided to join forces and hack it. We became the first people on the planet to escape a container on a mainframe, and we’re going to show you how.

Containers on a mainframe? For real. IBM zCX is a Docker environment running on a custom Linux hypervisor built atop z/OS - IBM’s mainframe operating system. Building this platform introduces mainframe environments to a new generation of cloud-native developers-and introduces new attack surfaces that weren’t there before.

In this crossover episode, we’re going to talk about how two people with two very particular sets of skills went about breaking zCX in both directions, escaping containers into the mainframe host and spilling the secrets of the container implementation from the mainframe side.

When two very different technologies get combined for the first time, the result is new shells nobody’s ever popped before.

Description:
The AWS service APIs provide around 9,400 different actions (and growing!) that, when logged, give a lot of extra info that can be correlated and used to find malicious activities. However, as with most data sources, it is very noisy. Plus, it fails to include in its events critical contextual information that threat hunters need. Working with our Threat Detection Engineering Team to create very actionable use cases that don’t need much additional context and exceptions. We developed an idea to detect the creation time of events discovered by most CSPMs check when evaluating a cloud provider, particularly AWS in this case. Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), which works by detecting cloud service misconfigurations, is one of the most common technologies used to improve cloud security and is used heavily worldwide by thousands of companies. Despite this, CSPM tools cannot detect most of the real-time findings, need privileges to be executed and scheduled to run and analyze preferably daily to decrease windows exposure. Cloud misconfigurations typically result in second-stage attacks. Aside from some risks that make information public, attackers likely need some credentials with privileges to perform actions that could impact privilege escalation, resource exposure, crypto mining, infrastructure modification, and access to sensitive data. Starting with some CloudSploit checks, we named this research CSPM2CloudTrail, so we create misconfigured services based on their findings and analyze how these changes are logged to CloudTrail. We made many use cases that we mainly transform in cards (with CloudSploit information) and sigma rules, having information such as severity, recommendations, AWS Documentation, and more importantly, for our SOC, Splunk searches. Besides this great use of trying to detect this almost in real-time (since CloudTrail delays around 15 minutes), these queries could enrich CSPM findings, making incident responses on misconfigurations caught faster. All information and detections created will be shared in our Github repository.

Cloud Village activities will be streamed to YouTube.

Description:
You can start the 2-step process. There is no need to rush, if you have purchased on-line your badge is reserved and there is no concern about them running out:

1st you will pass through the vaccination check line, providing whatever original documentation your health care provider or vaccination center gave you. It will be checked against your State issued ID to make sure the names match, the dates are good, and that enough time has passed for you to be fully vaccinated, etc. We will not record your ID or records. If all is good you will get a WRISTBAND you must wear during the con.

2nd Next you head to the badge pickup desks. There you will show your wristband and your in-person badge bar code and get it scanned. If the scan passes you get your Human reg pack.

Where to register / pick up badges: Paris, near the InfoBooth. Please find "REGISTRATION" on the provided DC29 floorplan (available in HackerTracker and online).

Both registration and the vaccine check processing functions are planning to be available from 8am/08:00 to 5pm/17:00. If those times change, this schedule entry will be updated in HackerTracker and info.defcon.org as soon as possible.

Title: Defeating Physical Intrusion Detection Alarm Wires
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 13:00 - 13:45 PDT
Where: Track 2 Live; DCTV/Twitch #2 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:Bill Graydon
Bill Graydon is a principal researcher at GGR Security, where he hacks everything from locks and alarms to critical infrastructure; this has given him some very fine-tuned skills for breaking stuff. He’s passionate about advancing the security field through research, teaching numerous courses, giving talks, and running DEF CON’s Lock Bypass Village. He’s received various degrees in computer engineering, security, and forensics and comes from a broad background of work experience in cyber security, software development, anti-money laundering, and infectious disease detection.

Description:
Alarm systems are ubiquitous - no longer the realm of banks and vaults only, many people now have them in their homes or workplaces. But how do they work? And the logical follow-up question - how can they be hacked?

This talk focuses on the communication lines in physical intrusion detection systems: how they are secured, and what vulnerabilities exist. We’ll discuss the logic implemented in the controllers and protections on the communication lines including end of line resistors - and all the ways that this aspect of the system can be exploited.

In particular, we’ll release schematics for a tool we’ve developed that will enable measuring end-of-line resistor systems covertly, determining the necessary re-wiring to defeat the sensors, and deploy it without setting off the alarm.

After the talk, you can head over to the Lock Bypass Village to try these techniques out for yourself!

Title: Defending the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle: Advancements in UAV Intrusion Detection
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 11:30 - 11:55 PDT
Where: Aerospace Village (Virtual Talk)

SpeakerBio:Jason Whelan
Jason (OSCP, OSCE, CCNP) holds a Bachelor of IT and is currently working towards a MSc in Computer Science from Ontario Tech University. He has presented at international conferences on UAV security, and has experience in both practical security research and penetration testing of operational UAS.

Description:
Many attacks against the UAV are becoming commonplace as they are simple to conduct with inexpensive hardware, such as spoofing and jamming. Unfortunately, many of the vulnerabilities UAVs suffer from are based on security flaws in the underlying technologies, including GPS and ADS-B. An intrusion detection system (IDS) for UAVs can increase security rapidly without the need to re-engineer underlying technologies. UAVs are cyber-physical systems which introduce a number of challenges for IDS development as they utilize a wide variety of sensors, communication protocols, platforms, and control configurations. Commercial off-the-shelf IDS solutions can be strategically implemented within the Unmanned aerial system (UAS) to detect threats to the underlying traditional IT infrastructure, however, the UAV itself requires specialized detection techniques. This talk discusses advancements in UAV intrusion detection, including proposed solutions in academics, pitfalls of these solutions, and how a practical technique using machine learning can be used to detect attacks across UAV platforms. A fully developed IDS is presented which makes use of flight logs and an onboard agent for autonomous detection and mitigation. The topics covered come from lessons learned in UAS penetration testing, live experiments, and academic research in the UAV security space.

Description:
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is here to stay, with over $118 Billion in total locked value highlighting evidence of faith in these new financial tools. This investment will continue increasing, but appears that with each new record in total value locked, there is another network attack being reported with astronomical losses.

Crypto crime cost companies and investors more than $10.5 Billion in 2020. In February 2021 alone, $200 Million was stolen in DeFi within just a 5 day period.

It is clear that there are far too many loopholes and hacks in current blockchain security protocols. From rug pulls to phishing scams, the security and technology is not as mature as the numbers make it out to be in this space. But there are critical practices both developers and users can implement to close this gap.

Title: Depthcharge
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 10:00 - 11:50 PDT
Where: Palace 3+4+5

SpeakerBio:Jon Szymaniak
Jon Szymaniak is Principle Security Consultant in NCC Group’s Hardware & Embedded Systems Services team and a former embedded systems engineer. His areas of interest include U-Boot, Linux, Yocto, and firmware reverse engineering. Through both his day job and hobby hacking adventures, he’s enjoyed exploring and exploiting boot ROMs, automotive ECUs, Android-based platforms, and a myriad of Internet-connected things that shouldn't be.

Description:
Depthcharge: A Framework for U-Boot Hacking

Short Abstract:
In modern embedded systems that implement a “secure boot” flow, the boot loader plays a critical role in establishing the integrity and authenticity of software and data required to boot an operating system. Given the role and vantage point of boot loaders, they are a particularly interesting target for hardware hackers seeking to root a device and instrument it for further vulnerability hunting and reverse engineering. Although the vast majority of devices leveraging the ubiquitous and open source U-Boot boot loader leave it unprotected and trivially exploited, more product vendors are finally implementing secure boot and (attempting to) lock down their U-Boot builds. These less common specimen offer exciting opportunities to pursue creative bypasses and explore underappreciated U-Boot functionality.

The Depthcharge framework was developed to help hardware hackers methodically (ab)use some of that underappreciated U-Boot functionality in novel ways to circumvent boot-time protections, as well as expedite the identification and exploitation of “the usual suspects” within exposed U-Boot device consoles. The project includes a Python 3 library for interfacing with devices, reading and writing memory via available primitives, deploying executable payloads, and analyzing various data structures. A collection of scripts built atop of library make this functionality readily available via the command line, and “Depthcharge Companion” firmware allows the tooling to extend its vantage point by presenting itself as a peripheral device connected to the target. This Demo Lab will introduce the basics of Depthcharge and explore how attendees can leverage and expand upon it when seeking to circumvent boot-time protections or just to further explore a system from within the U-Boot environment. For those wishing to protect their (employer’s) products from fellow DEF CON attendees, we’ll also cover the configuration checker functionality that can be used to avoid common U-Boot pitfalls.

Additional detail can be found here in the project documentation: https://depthcharge.readthedocs.io/e...is-depthcharge

The Depthcharge project aims to allow hackers, security practitioners, and engineering teams a way to “work smarter” when attempting to root a device or evaluate its security posture. This not only includes gaining control of a target’s U-Boot execution, but also leveraging the bootloader as a vantage point to further explore the target system.

The Python 3 Depthcharge API can be leveraged to enumerate functionality exposed by a U-Boot console and identify memory read/write primitives. Memory access abstractions built atop of these primitives seek to make dumping device firmware quicker and more robust, and custom payload deployment easier. With its colorized serial monitor, Depthcharge provides a more pleasant environment for hacking around and scripting while within a device’s U-Boot console. The “Companion” firmware extends Depthcharge reach into a target platform, allowing it to act as a “malicious” peripheral device (e.g. on an I2C bus). While much of the project focuses on console exposure, it also include some data structure identification (e.g. stored environments) functionality aimed at situations where such functionality is not available. For engineers and those on the “blue team” — build configuration checker functionality can help raise red flags and detect U-Boot pitfalls much earlier in the product development lifecycle.

Target Audience:
Hardware / Embedded Systems - Both “offense” and “defense” within this audience

I believe the Depthcharge Demo Lab can show that there’s more interesting hackery to be had within the U-Boot boot loader, and that we can work much smarter when we encounter it. Given that I tend to see discussions of U-Boot limited to unprotected IoT junkware, I’ve always been bummed that folks don’t seem to get to appreciate the joy of circumventing secure boot mechanisms, or otherwise leveraging their U-Boot environment to start exploring a hardware platform and its SoC from a lower level vantage point.

Whether it be folks enjoying the abuse of a CRC32 feature as an arbitrary memory primitive, or just gaining an appreciation for how U-Boot exports functionality for use by “stand alone applications” — I hope to share some new tricks and get people excited about hacking deeper on their devices. Demos will be based upon my earlier work bypassing a (now patched) 2019 Sonos vulnerability, as well as some “previously seen on client work” vulnerabilities modeled on development kits to protect the (not so?) innocent.

Warranty voiding and custom firmware development shall be strongly encouraged.

Title: Designing a C2 Framework
When: Friday, Aug 6, 16:45 - 17:45 PDT
Where: Adversary Village (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Daniel "Rasta" Duggan
Daniel Duggan, aka Rasta Mouse, is the Director of Zero-Point Security and creator of the Red Team Ops training course. Daniel has authored and contributed to multiple open source projects including TikiTorch, SharpC2, Covenant and SharpSploit.
Twitter: @_RastaMouse

Description:
Over recent years, there has been a huge boom in open-source C2 frameworks hitting the information security space. So much so they made a website and a logo - that’s how you know things are serious! Such a trend naturally drives more people towards taking on the gauntlet but all too often it becomes an insurmountable challenge and another dashed dream of the aspiring red teamer, or veteran alike. Believe me when I say - I’ve been there. I’ve felt the pain, the frustration, the imposter syndrome. Heck, I still do. However, I’ve (mostly) come out the other side with some hard learned lessons. Those lessons are the subject of this talk. The goal is not to write or provide code. We shall discuss how to approach initial design ideas; decide what is important and what is not; anticipate and deal with potential problem areas; consider different use cases and perspectives; and more.

If you are interested in building your own C2 framework, contributing to existing frameworks, or even software development in general, there’s something in this talk for you.


Adversary Village talks and workshops will be streamed on YouTube and Twitch.

Q&A sessions will happen in DEF CON Official Discord server after each talk.

Title: Detecting Attackers Using Your Own Sensors with State Estimation
When: Sunday, Aug 8, 10:30 - 10:59 PDT
Where: ICS Village (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Stefan Stephenson-Moe , Coalfire
I have eight years infosec experience working in critical infrastructure, three years working in the power industry, four years working in the finance sector. My experience is mostly on the operations and implementation side, designing, implementing and operating Security Operations Centers. I have an education in Mechanical Engineering and am a mostly self-taught infosec professional. I currently work as a network and application penetration tester in the government sector.

Description:
As OT technologies like PLCs and RTU become smarter and more capable of running standard operating systems, the concern of malware infecting OT technologies has become more of a realistic threat. In cases like Stuxnet where the attacker wishes to cause damage to a system while keeping the user unaware it must do so by modifying sensor data that would alert the user to a change in the system. State estimation is a technique used in the Power Industry to detect when sensors are providing garbage data. In this talk I plan to explain how state estimation works and how it can be applied as a technique for detecting an attacker attempting to manipulate sensor data for nefarious purposes.

ICS Village will be releasing their events to YouTube at each event's scheduled time. Discussion will be available on Discord in #ics-speaker-questions-and-answers-text.

Description:
Lately, we’ve been hearing a lot about Dev Ops and DevSecOps, and why they’re so important. While integrating these are considered very good practices, organizations may be unintentionally unaware of how to maximize DevOps to ensure security and compliance are being met without delays. This could be because many researchers and authors believe DevOps already includes security at its core, since software security and quality are closely related. However, in today’s cloud environment, one cannot assume that DevOps can do it all. That’s where a strong DevSecOps strategy and mindset comes into play.

Description:
Threat Modeling is, at its root, a combination of two separate disciplines: system modeling and threat elicitation (and then a bit of risk management, but that’s another talk). In the last few years the industry has focused mostly on the second part, threat elicitation, and rare was the analysis of the successes and failures of system modeling. Co-authors and members of the Threat Modeling Manifesto Group, Matt & Izar offer a view from the threat modeling pit of why sometimes developers won’t model for threats, what can be done differently, and a view of their pytm tool as a collaborative (remote) system modeler tool with a threat elicitation cherry on top.

Description:
In 1998 the US government issued the first major policy document on Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP). Since then, CIP has become one of the most fundamental tasks for governments everywhere, and has given birth to a plethora of institutions and processes seeking to manage what is called a “Public Private Partnership” between government, industry, and civil society. But despite all the efforts put into information exchanges, incident management, but also supply chain protection and even national industrial policies, cyber-attacks have not decreased, both in the United States and elsewhere. What else needs to be done? What lessons learned are there from international experiences? And how can the community help best?

Title: Do you like to read? I know how to take over your Kindle with an e-book
When: Friday, Aug 6, 12:00 - 12:20 PDT
Where: DCTV/Twitch #3 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:Slava Makkaveev
Slava Makkaveev is a Security Researcher at Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. Holds a PhD in Computer Science. Slava has found himself in the security field more than ten years ago and since that gained vast experience in reverse engineering and vulnerability research. Recently Slava has taken a particularly strong interest in mobile platforms and firmware security.

Description:
Since 2007, Amazon has sold tens of millions of Kindles, which is impressive. But this also means that tens of millions of people can be hacked through a software bug in those same Kindles. Their devices can be turned into bots, their private local networks can be compromised, and perhaps even information in their billing accounts can be stolen.

The easiest way to remotely reach a user's Kindle is through an e-book. A malicious book can be published and made available for free access in any virtual library, including the Kindle Store, or sent directly to the end-user device via Amazon services. While you might not be happy with the writing in a particular book, nobody expects to download one that is malicious. No such scenarios have been publicized. Antiviruses do not have signatures for e-books. But... we succeeded in making a malicious book for you. If you open this book on a Kindle device, it causes a hidden piece of code to be executed with root rights. From this moment on, you lost your e-reader, account and more.

Description:
Due current global issues of 2020, organizations have been forced to make changes in how their business model operates and as such, have opened the doors to remote working. Microsoft SharePoint is one of the most popular and trusted Content Management System's (CMS) deployed today. The product is used to share and manage content, internal knowledge with embeded applications to empower teamwork and seamlessly collaborate across an organization for a truly remote experience.

After the efforts of countless talented engineers in Microsoft, SharePoint has been deployed in the Microsoft cloud as part of their office 365 offering. This presentation will analyze the security architecture of SharePoint server and how it differs from other popular CMS products. From an offensive point of view, we will also reveal several attack surfaces and mitigations implemented and how those mitigations can be bypassed. Finally we will disclose several high impact vulnerabilities detailing the discovery and exploitation.

Description:
Lockpicking, door bypassing, and physical security are among the more eye catching components of an on premises risk assessment. It always draws the most questions and gets the most staff popping over to see what's going on. I suppose it's because the physical space is personal, it isn't digital and hence it draws more focus. I do on premises risk assessment and I want to tell you a bit about how the process goes with my company and share my personal philosophies on how I do my engagements. What I hope to gain is a stronger focus on Physical Security, or PhysSec, in the Cybersecurity domain.

Description:
Many supermarkets and shopping centers have implemented devices that “lock” their shopping carts if they’re taken outside of an approved boundary (e.g, a parking lot). This talk examines some of the technology that’s used to do this, as well as ways to capture and spoof the control signals to defeat these devices.

We will go over the anatomy of remotely lockable shopping cart wheels, their basic theory, and get into how they’re controlled. We’ll deconstruct some samples of the lock and unlock signals captured using a homemade antenna and a HackRF, and briefly discuss methods of rebroadcasting them – as well as the challenges inherent to this process.

Sylvain Baubeau is a staff software engineer, mostly working on Linux, cloud and infrastructure technologies. In his spare time, he likes to play drums, reverse engineer old games and build arcades.

Description:
Since its first appearance in Kernel 3.18, eBPF (Extended Berkley Packet Filter) has progressively become a key technology for observability in the Linux kernel. Initially dedicated to network monitoring, eBPF can now be used to monitor and trace any kind of kernel space activity.

Over the past few years, many vendors have started using eBPF to speed up their services or introduce innovative features. Cilium, Calico, Cloudflare, Netflix and Facebook are leading the charge, showing off new complex networking use cases on a monthly basis. On the security side of things, Google recently contributed the Kernel Runtime Security Instrumentation which opens the door to writing Linux Security Modules with eBPF.

In other words, eBPF is the new kid in town and a growing number of companies are running services with eBPF access in production. This leads us to a simple question: how bad can things get if one of those services were to be compromised ? This talk will cover how we leveraged eBPF to implement a full blown rootkit with all the features you would expect: various obfuscation techniques, command and control with remote and persistent access, data theft and exfiltration techniques, Runtime Application Self-Protection evasion techniques, and finally two original container breakout techniques.

Simply put, our goal is to demonstrate that rogue kernel modules might have finally found a worthy opponent. We will also detail how to detect such attacks and protect your infrastructure from them, while safely enjoying the exciting capabilities that eBPF has to offer.

He currently maintains a cybersecurity blog focused on offensive security at https://www.bc-security.org/blog/.

Description:
Tool or Project Name: Empire

Short Abstract (What is your tool, what does it do?): Empire is a Command and Control (C2) framework powered by Python 3 that supports Windows, Linux, and macOS exploitation. It leverages many widely used offensive security tools through PowerShell, Python 3, and C# agents. At the same time, it offers cryptologically-secure communications and flexible modular architecture that links Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) through the MITRE ATT&CK database.

Empire has evolved significantly since its introduction in 2015 and has become one of the most widely used open-source C2 platforms. Through this time, Empire has advanced from a single user experience to allowing multiple user operations through an API with Empire acting as a teamserver. Currently, 2 different applications are available to connect to the Empire teamserver: Empire Command Line Interface (CLI) and Starkiller.

The Empire CLI is built from the ground up as a replacement to the embedded legacy CLI and gives users a familiar feel of the legacy CLI, but is portable and connects through the Empire API. While Starkiller is a cross-platform UI available in Linux, Windows, and macOS powered by ElectronJS.

The framework's flexibility to easily incorporate new modules allows for a single solution for red team operations with the aim for Empire to provide an easy-to-use platform for emulating APTs. Customization is essential to any successful red team operation, which has driven the expansion of user plugins. These plugins allow any custom program to run side-by-side with the Empire teamserver. In addition, the commonality between other C2 platforms allows profiles and modules to be easily dropped in without the need for additional development. These features allow both red and blue teams to easily emulate and defend against the APT attack vectors.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4nzXCHGzUA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzZmzBIVJHA Detailed Explanation of Tool:
Empire has been a well-established versatile Command and Control (C2) framework for many years. Our work has allowed better adoption by red teams and shifts the focus of the platform to threat emulation. Threat emulation has been enhanced by leveraging a MITRE ATT&CK framework-based database. Every module is tagged with the MITRE ATT&CK techniques that most closely relate to the objectives of that tool and allows operators to search through the database to find and use tools that meet their specific threat emulation plan. This is combined with the new Empire server/client architecture, which has 2 different applications to connect through Starkiller and Empire Command Line Interface (CLI), allowing for multi-user distributed operations. Starkiller is a cross-platform UI available in Linux, Windows, and macOS for interacting with the Empire post-exploitation framework. This application allows red teams to share any instance of Empire and support remote, multi-operator engagements for instant collaboration and efficient event tracking. Each user is tracked in a database, which can be queried to evaluate team progression and generate post-engagement reports. Within a few minutes, a red-teamer can set up a listener (call back server) on Empire, get a target (agent) calling back to that server, and send payloads to it. Not only that, but multiple users can be working with those same agents, 3rd party modules, and listeners. There is no need to duplicate effort in establishing independent red team infrastructures when a common interface can now be used with the enhanced Empire API. When viewing an agent in the interface, we can get live updates of tasks queued to it, which users set that task, and the results.

The Empire CLI is built from the ground up as a replacement to the embedded legacy CLI that was packaged with Empire. This adaption allows users to continue to run an interface that gives the look and feel of the legacy CLI, but is portable and connects through the Empire API. While building this, we looked for areas to improve and constructed it using Python Prompt Toolkit, which gives users a streamlined look with drop-down menus, interactive shell, and multiple user support. While many of these new improvements are still in their early stages, we believe that the new construct for Empire will drive a significant change in how teams use the tool in the future.

Supporting Files, Code, etc:
https://github.com/BC-SECURITY/Empire
https://github.com/BC-SECURITY/Empire-Cli https://github.com/BC-SECURITY/Starkiller

Target Audience:
Offense

These updates bring Empire into parity with some of the top paid Offense tool kits allowing students to gain exposure to how advanced TTPs and teaming workflows are utilized in offensive engagements.

We picked up the project back in August 2019. We actually were teaching a workshop using Empire and were contacted by Kali if we would be interested in publishing our Python 3 copy around November that year. They were wanting to drop Python 2 support but didn’t want to lose older tools. And we have been pushing updates ever since.

What we have done so far?
We designed an API that supports multiple users at once and collaboration within the c2. Added over 30 new tools within the framework, including socks proxy, Rubeus, and seatbelt. Added a graphical user interface, Starkiller. Threat emulation is a big thing that we are pushing for, so we went through at tagged every tool with a MITRE ATT&CK technique which links back to the source material and descriptions of the attack. We also added a cross-compatibility ability that uses Cobalt Strikes malleable C2 profiles to create malleable listeners in Empire.

Where are we going?
Empire 4.0, which is our current version in development. This is nearly a complete rewrite of the project and almost a new C2. The project now uses a server/client architecture that aligns itself with modern C2s, such as Cobalt Strike, PoshC2, and Silent Trinity.

We added C implants with on-the-fly compilation using Roslyn Compiler. This ability is something that everyone has been asking about for a while since most advanced frameworks support some flavor of C implants. We wanted to implement this in a way that allows us to have cross-compatibility with Covenant’s tools but still maintain Empire’s agent capabilities and formatting. What we ended up with is the capability to run C implants that can compile their modules and use all the PowerShell tools as well. Another advantage of this is that PowerShell agents can compile c tools on the fly as well.

Visually, we completely redid the CLI to be streamlined and includes new features like dropdown menus, server chatrooms, and suggested values.

We redesigned the plugin functionality within Empire and significantly expanded its capabilities. Plugins are a lesser-known ability which allows user to specially craft tools that can enhance the framework's capabilities. This is similar to how cobalt strike uses aggressor scripts to expand its capabilities.

Title: Ethics at the Edge: IoT as the Embodiment of AI for Rampant Intelligence Actuation
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 15:45 - 16:15 PDT
Where: IoT Village (Talk - Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Ria Cheruvu
Ria Cheruvu is an AI Ethics Lead Architect at the Intel Network and Edge engineering group working on developing trustworthy AI products. She is 17 years old, and graduated with her bachelor’s degree in computer science at Harvard University at 11 and her master’s degree in data science from her alma mater at 16. Her pathfinding domains include solutions for security and privacy for machine learning, fairness, explainable and responsible AI systems, uncertain AI, reinforcement learning, and computational models of intelligence. She enjoys composing piano music, ocean-gazing with her family, and contributing to open-source communities in her free time.

Description:
In the eyes of a smart device and their human controllers, the world is an immense source of data and power. The expanding Internet of Things ecosystem only adds fuel to this, empowering real-time automatic sensing + actuation posing regulatory dilemmas, easily exploitable definitions of trusted entities (e.g., see the 2021 Verkada hack), and measurements of security, robustness, and ethics that change apropos data in the blink of an eye.

Governance and policing of Internet of Things devices is growing to cover the upcoming trail of destruction by flailing technical solutions, but some intriguing key unanswered questions are starting to reveal themselves.

In this talk, we’ll dive into what the sociotechnical problem of ethics means at the edge in the context of machine learning/artificial intelligence and address these questions:

  1. Individual vectors of ethics (“Sustainability is an ethical principle?” “Edge devices have their own definition of fairness and bias different from human concepts?”)
  2. Evolving principles and governance for IoT devices, and the importance of accountable anonymity
  3. Definitions of trusted entities (“When are users a threat?” “Should humans be out of the loop?”), and how key ethical principles, such as privacy and transparency, can be a double-edged sword in the context of IoT security.
  4. Incorporating morality into machines is now a reality (“How do we define a calculus and value alignment for IoT ethics?”) - what are key unconventional ethical concerns for human-centered design?

IoT Village talks will be streamed to Twitch. Select speakers may be available in the IoT Village on-site to answer questions.

Description:
Defenders are constantly adapting their security to counter new threats. Our mission is to identify how they plan on securing their systems and avoid being identified as a threat. This is a hands-on class to learn the methodology behind malware delivery and avoiding detection. This workshop explores the inner workings of Microsoft's Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI), Windows Defender, and Event Tracing for Windows (ETW). We will learn how to employ obfuscated malware using Visual Basic (VB), PowerShell, and C# to avoid Microsoft's defenses. Students will learn to build AMSI bypass techniques, obfuscate payloads from dynamic and static signature detection methods, and learn about alternative network evasion methods.

In this workshop, we will:

i. Understand the use and employment of obfuscation in red teaming. ii. Demonstrate the concept of least obfuscation. iii. Introduce Microsoft's Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) and explain its importance. iv. Demonstrate obfuscation methodology for .NET payloads.

Title: Evaluating Wireless Attacks on Real-World Avionics Hardware
When: Friday, Aug 6, 12:30 - 12:55 PDT
Where: Aerospace Village (Virtual Talk)

SpeakerBio:Leeloo Granger
Leeloo is a Swiss-French undergraduate student in Communication Systems at EPFL, currently in exchange at ETH Zürich. She is currently learning to become a private pilot and has an interest in avionics security avionics. Besides her studies, she is an athlete in archery currently training for the 2024 Olympics.

Description:
In a nutshell, in this project we prove the critical vulnerabilities of GPS and ADS-B technologies which only had been theoretically discussed in the literature. To do so, we investigated the feasibility and accessibility of GPS and Mode S spoofing on an avionics lab – the Garmin’s Navigator GTN750 – and using two types of transmitters: the USRP B210 and Raceologic’s LabSat Wideband 3. We successfully spoofed the GPS position of the GTN750, as well as intruders on the Traffic detection system. Unfortunately, we were not able to attack the TCAS II. Our work shows the vulnerabilities of communication technologies that have a major role in the safety of an aircraft, hence attacks are a severe threat and all the more so if they are conducted using as few resources as we did.

Description:
It is truly amazing how many and diverse methods an attacker has to "call home", exfiltrate information, or coordinate the next steps in his chain of attack. In this talk we will demonstrate (and automate) the most wacky, unexpected, and interesting methods for setting up a C2 server: Messaging apps? social media profiles? video games or gaming platforms? Yes, and there's more. The more sacred and innocent an app appears to be, the higher the score for us when weaponizing it. We will explain from scratch the function, the construction and even the automation with Ruby and Python of C2 servers based on a wide range of applications of common and daily use. For this we will use a fake toy ransomware, which will try to call home, exfiltrate information and coordinate an attack in the most crazy,bizarre and above all ... unexpected ways. Lots of short demos make this talk suitable to both newcomers and experienced people.

Adversary Village talks and workshops will be streamed on YouTube and Twitch.

Q&A sessions will happen in DEF CON Official Discord server after each talk.

Description:
The growth of DeFi for the past year is astonishing, the TVL, users count and different types of projects prove the concept of DeFi can work. The space has good DeFi projects that bring users and investors. It also has projects that are complete scams; they come up with different ways to scam people and run away with user's money. Scammers have stolen millions of dollars worth of tokens from users for the past years.

How can regular users identify bad projects? What can a security company do to help DeFi users and investors? We can't stop scammers from deploying contracts on the blockchain and setting up fake websites, but we can warn users to stay away from them. CertiK set up a submission form on our website for community members to report risky projects, and we will investigate them. If we find the project is risky, we will publish an alert on our website and Twitter account.

We reviewed more than 50 submissions from community members and identified around 15 risky projects in the past. At the Defcon blockchain village, we want to share our work for the past couple of months. In this talk, we will do a case study to demonstrate different types of scams; we will also talk about how scammers earn trust from users and how we investigate user submitted projects.


This content will be presented live and in-person.

Description:
Blue teams and CERTs are increasingly better equipped and better trained. At the same time offensive infrastructures are increasingly diverse in components and growing in size. This makes it a lot harder for red teams to keep oversight but also a lot easier for blue teams to react on the traces that red teams leave behind. However, do blue teams really know what traces they leave behind when doing their investigation and analyses? RedELK was created and open sourced to help red teams with these two goals: 1) make it easy to have operational oversight, 2) abuse blue team OPSEC failures. Come to this talk to learn about blue team detection and how RedELK can help you.

Description:
Browser extensions are installed anywhere, they serve as an integral part of our day-to-day web routine, from AdBlockers to Auto-Translators. But - do we know what is running inside of them? Do we know what goes deep-down inside their communication routines? How do they use their internal API’s? And how do their different JS execution contexts work?

In this session, I will explore these unique internal extension API’s, hidden attack-surfaces and show how these concepts can be broken & exploited using new ways! I start showing how an attacker can "jump" from one low-permissions chrome-app/extension to another, hence elevating its permissions. Then, I will show how to gain full "browser-persistency" inside extensions' background-scripts context.

Chaining it all together, I show how attacker, starting from low permissions chrome-app, gains a fully-armed "extension-rootkit", a persistent JS-malware running inside of a “good” extension, along with C&C features, JS injection techniques to any tab/origin, obfuscation-techniques and more. Eventually, I will present a generic technique, targeting all chrome-users, for taking over any previously installed chrome extension and implant an "extension-rootkit" in it.

Over the last year, Karl has co-authored the book “Penetration Testing Azure for Ethical Hackers” with David Okeyode. Over the years, Karl has held the Security+, CISSP, and GXPN certifications.
Twitter: @kfosaaen

Description:
Whether it's the migration of legacy systems or creation of brand-new applications, many organizations are turning to Microsoft’s Azure cloud as their platform of choice. This brings new challenges for penetration testers who are less familiar with the platform, and now have more attack surfaces to exploit. In an attempt to automate some of the common Azure escalation tasks, the MicroBurst toolkit was created to contain tools for attacking different layers of an Azure tenant. In this talk, we will be focusing on the password extraction functionality included in MicroBurst. We will review many of the places that passwords can hide in Azure, and the ways to manually extract them. For convenience, we will also show how the Get-AzPasswords function can be used to automate the extraction of credentials from an Azure tenant. Finally, we will review a case study on how this tool was recently used to find a critical issue in the Azure permissions model that resulted in a fix from Microsoft.

Cloud Village activities will be streamed to YouTube.

Description:
In any job search, you’ll no doubt be asked some variation of the inevitable question, “What are your salary expectations?” For many this question induces anxiety. What should I get paid? What’s a fair salary? It can be a hard question of how to maximize earnings without pricing ourselves out of a potential role. Then the offer comes and it’s less than you asked for. Can you negotiate, should you negotiate, how should you negotiate for better compensation? What other things like bonuses, time off, benefits, etc. are on the table? Let’s talk about real-world strategies for knowing your worth in each job you apply for, how to position yourself for getting the pay you deserve, and considerations to account for in the negotiation process. You’ll hear about lessons learned that every job seeker should be aware of before submitting that first application or sending in a resume. The discussion will even cover how to know when what your prospective employer is saying is a legitimate constraint versus posturing for negotiating purposes. Ultimately, you’ll walk away ready to go into your next job search with the same bravado as Paulie from Goodfellas and be ready to tell them “F**k you, pay me”.

He's mainly interested in defensive strategy, threat hunting, DFIR, malware analysis, & adversary simulation.
Twitter: @r3nzsec

Description:
In this presentation, I will discuss the key forensic artifacts that can be used whenever DFIR professionals encounter cloud storage services into the host such as OneDrive, GoogleDrive, Box and Dropbox. These are all essentials especially when the attacker or insider threat leverage these services to exfiltrate data. I will also show how to perform data acquisition to get these artifacts in forensically sound manner.

Today we are embracing the benefits and advantages of having cloud storage in most environments especially now when everyone is working work from home and data transmits from one place to another by the use of cloud storage services such as one drive, box, dropbox & google drive. There are a couple of artifacts on the endpoint side that gives us the ability to see the bigger picture when these cloud services are being used to perform data exfiltration and any malicious actions. In short, cloud storage data can be more accessible on the local device and can contain files and metadata distinctly different than the current cloud repository. I'm going to show how to perform data acquisition on these cloud storage applications installed in endpoint and what are those metadata and evidence that we can extract from the forensics standpoint.

Title: Fortifying ICS - Hardening and Testing
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 13:30 - 13:59 PDT
Where: ICS Village (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Dieter Sarrazyn , Secudea
Dieter is a freelance SCADA/ICS/OT security consultant who’s working extensively on industrial control system security since 2008. He performs different kinds of security assessments within industrial environments including intrusion testing, physical penetration testing, technical system assessments, risk assessments and provides assistance in securing these environments. He also helps customers to manage security of solutions deployed by their industrial suppliers and integrators through doing security requirements management and security FAT and SAT tests. Next to assessing environments, he is also providing training and awareness sessions on scada/ics/ot security and coaches young graduates within this field.
Twitter: @dietersar

Description:
Every ICS environment will sooner or later have to deal with updates, upgrades or additions to the control system environment. Nowadays it is important to include cybersecurity within such projects, although that is still sometimes forgotten (sad but true). One of the ways to include security is to set security requirements but also perform hardening and cybersecurity testing within FAT and SAT cycles.

This talk will explain important elements of hardening as well as things to keep in mind when performing cybersecurity testing during FAT/SAT phases after performing said hardening.


ICS Village will be releasing their events to YouTube at each event's scheduled time. Discussion will be available on Discord in #ics-speaker-questions-and-answers-text.

Title: Frack
When: Sunday, Aug 8, 10:00 - 11:50 PDT
Where: DemoLab Video Channel 2

SpeakerBio:William Vermaak
William is a Security Analyst at Orange Cyberdefense's SensePost team, specialising in penetration testing. He has been an ethical hacker since 2012 working on many different types of projects for many major banks and insurance houses in South Africa and abroad. Mobile platforms are his focus as he thoroughly enjoys breaking mobile applications and figuring out how they work. He has done several radio interviews (https://iono.fm/e/892386 and https://iono.fm/e/893010) and has also presented several training courses such as the SensePost SecDevOps training. William is currently focussing on designing a Mobile Hacking course.

Description:
Tool or Project Name: Frack

Short Abstract:
Frack is a tool created to be an end-to-end solution to store, manage and query collected breach data. The tool has a basic workflow making it easy to use. Using a very minimal cloud footprint, Frack makes it possible to store vast amounts of data in the cloud while retaining an extremely fast query speed. Query results end up in a neat Excel sheet where all of the breaches the domain was found in, including user passwords or hashes (depending on what was leaked in the breach). The Excel sheet also gives information regarding the breach it was found in and the date the breach first appeared. Having this data at your fingertips makes it easy to show a client their exposure and to use the data as a starting point when doing external or infrastructure assessments. The tool also includes the ability to use custom parse plugins which will parse raw dumps into usable data and convert it so you can use it directly in the database.

Short Developer Bio:
William is a Security Analyst at Orange Cyberdefense's SensePost team, specialising in penetration testing. He has been an ethical hacker since 2012 working on many different types of projects for many major banks and insurance houses in South Africa and abroad. Mobile platforms are his focus as he thoroughly enjoys breaking mobile applications and figuring out how they work.

William is currently focussing on designing a Mobile Hacking course.

URL to any additional information:
The tool leverages Apache ORC as a destination file format for parsed breaches. These are uploaded to Google's Big Query for processing. See: https://orc.apache.org/
https://github.com/noirello/pyorc
Detailed Explanation of Tool:
The tool was written in Python and will be distributed under the GNU General Public v3 License. The tool consists of three modulesmain features; generic parsing, plugin-based parsing and database maintenance.

The parse module is used to parse a semi clean .CSV file consisting of any of the following formats: <email>,<password>
<email>,<hash>
<email>,<hash>,<salt>
For known data breaches, a plugin system lets you consume raw data dumps without any need for modification.The parser will then convert the data to the .ORC file format (https://orc.apache.org/) resulting in small uploads to the cloud and very fast query times. These .ORC files are then ingested into a Google BigQuery table. The query module can then be used to query the data that you have uploaded into the BigQuery table.

The tool also includes a DB module where you can perform basic DB maintenance, start ingestion jobs, and see stats of the database.

Supporting Files, Code, etc:
If needed, an invitation to look at the source code beforehand can be arranged. It currently lives in a private GitHub repository.

Target Audience:
Offense, Defense, OSINT

Nothing can stop the data flow! Every day we are bombarded with news reports of another data breach that has been published on the internet. Frack provides an easy way to manage this data on Google cloud infrastructure.


This content will be presented on a Discord video channel.

Title: Frag, You’re it - Hacking Laser Tag
When: Thursday, Aug 5, 12:00 - 11:59 PDT
Where: Radio Frequency Village (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Eric Escobar , Principal Security Consultant
Eric is a seasoned pentester and a Principal Security Consultant at Secureworks. On a daily basis he attempts to compromise large enterprise networks to test their physical, human, network and wireless security. His team consecutively won first place at DEF CON 23, 24, and 25's Wireless CTF, snagging a black badge along the way. Forcibly retired from competing in the Wireless CTF, he’s now a member of the DEF CON Wireless Village team. Before entering the cyber security arena, Eric attained both a BS and MS in Civil Engineering along with his Professional Engineering license.

Description:
What do inexpensive hardware purchased from Amazon and a little git magic have in common? They are the ingredients to become a laser tag juggernaut armed with unlimited respawns and Contraesqe widespread rapid-fire. Hacking doesn't always have to be so serious; relegated to newsworthy 0days, Nation State actors, and vulnerable supply chains. Sometimes hacks are just to wreck your friends. This talk will dive into how laser tag actually uses focused beams of infrared light (similar to your TV remote) to ""tag"" your opponent. We'll look under the hood to see what qualifies as ""lasers"", and how they are interpreted by the game server. I'll discuss how these infrared signals can be replayed stealthily. Then we'll get to the carnage of warehouse Halo godmode.

This talk has been released to YouTube.

Description:
Web applications play a vital role in every modern organization. If your organization does not properly test and secure its web apps, adversaries can compromise these applications, damage business functionality, and steal data. Unfortunately, many organizations operate under the mistaken impression that a web application security scanner will reliably discover flaws in their systems.

Customers expect web applications to provide significant functionality and data access. Even beyond the importance of customer-facing web applications, internal web applications increasingly represent the most commonly used business tools within any organization. Unfortunately, there is no "patch Tuesday" for custom web applications, so major industry studies find that web application flaws play a major role in significant breaches and intrusions.

In this workshop we will teach you how to find vulnerabilities in web security according to the latest methods and techniques. We will demonstrate every vulnerability by giving an example from vulnerability we have found in major tech companies like: Facebook, WhatsApp, Amazon, AliExpress, Snapchat, LG and more!

Title: Fuzzing Linux with Xen
When: Sunday, Aug 8, 11:00 - 11:59 PDT
Where: DCTV/Twitch #3 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:Tamas K Lengyel
Tamas works as Senior Security Researcher at Intel. He received his PhD in Computer Science from the University of Connecticut where he built hypervisor-based malware-analysis and collection tools. In his free time he is maintainer of the Xen Project Hypervisor's VMI subsystem, LibVMI & the DRAKVUF binary analysis project. He currently serves as the Chief Research Officer at The Honeynet Project, a leading international non-profit organization that coordinates the development of open-source tools to fight against malware. Tamas gave prior talks at conferences such as BlackHat, CCC and Hacktivity.
Twitter: @tklengyel

Description:
Last year we've successfully upstreamed a new feature to Xen that allows high-speed fuzzing of virtual machines (VMs) using VM-forking. Recently through collaboration with the Xen community external monitoring of VMs via Intel(r) Processor Trace has also been upstreamed. Combined with the native Virtual Machine Introspection (VMI) capability Xen now provides a unique platform for fuzzing and binary analysis.

To illustrate the power of the platform we'll present the details of a real-world fuzzing operation that targeted Linux kernel-modules from an attack-vector that has previously been hard to reach: memory exposed to devices via Direct Memory Access (DMA) for fast I/O. If the input the kernel reads from DMA-exposed memory is malformed or malicious - what could happen?

So far we discovered: 9 NULL-pointer dereferences; 3 array index out-of-bound accesses; 2 infinite-loops in IRQ context and 2 instances of tricking the kernel into accessing user-memory but thinking it is kernel memory. The bugs have been in Linux for many years and were found in kernel modules used by millions of devices. All bugs are now fixed upstream.

This talk will walk you through how the bugs were found: what process we went through to identify the right code-locations; how we analyzed the kernel source and how we analyzed the runtime of the kernel with Xen to pinpoint the input points that read from DMA. The talk will explain the steps required to attach a debugger through the hypervisor to collect kernel crash logs and how to perform triaging of bugs via VM-fork execution-replay, a novel technique akin to time-travel debugging. Finally, we'll close with the release of a new open-source tool to perform full-VM taint analysis using Xen and Intel(r) Processor Trace.

Title: Game Theory: Understanding and Strategy and Deception
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 18:45 - 19:45 PDT
Where: Adversary Village (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Juneau Jones
Raised in the woods of Alaska, Juneau attributes her love of hacking to a childhood spentbuilding and breaking things outside. After studying computer science and economics, she moved to Dallas, Texas, where she found a home in the local hacker community. Juneau began research on applying behavioral economics to adversarial tactics. After her successful first talk at Dallas Hacker's Association on the prisoner’s dilemma, she began presenting her research at cons across the country. Currently, she works as an adversarial analyst doing consultant red teaming. She is also continuing her research and education as a cybersecurity fellow at NYU. When she is not hacking or asking strangers to act out the prisoner's dilemma, Juneau breathes fire, plays the bass, and runs DC214; Dallas's DefCon group.

Description:
Game Theory is the study of choices and strategies made by rational actors, called "players," in competitive situations, and it offers us a way to study and map human conflict. Statisticians use game theory to model war, biology, and even football. We will model the choices and behavior demonstrated by real-world adversarial conflict. Usingthese models, we will discuss how players form strategies and how other actors can influence those strategies. The talk will begin with an overview of game-theoretic modeling and its application to adversary behavior. Using the Prisoner's Dilemma as an example, we will look at how to model and analyze a single game. We can then model repeated interactions and demonstrate how "players" can influence each other's choices. These models will lay the foundations we need to look at more realistic adversary conflict. Next, we are going to look at how players can exploit information asymmetry. Emerging techniques such as dynamic honeynets and virtual attack surfaces both investigate attackers while manipulating their beliefs. We will build a Signaling Game model to show how defenders can credibly deceive adversaries. Using this model, we will look at a scenario where a defender observes multiple attacker movements within a network. While sustained engagement can help the defender learn more about the attacker and provide them false information, it comes at the risk of added exposure. In this scenario, there is a trade-off between information gained and short-term security. This talk will not look at network topology or protocols but will instead look at information exchange and strategy. We will then apply the same models to an adversarial perspective. Sustained engagement with a defender can provide an attacker with information and the opportunity to deceive defenders. However, that comes with a risk. How does an attacker's strategy change when a defender can eject them from the network at any time? By analyzing conflict where strategy and choices determine the outcome, we learn more about how to understand others' tactics and influence them with our own decisions.

Adversary Village talks and workshops will be streamed on YouTube and Twitch.

Q&A sessions will happen in DEF CON Official Discord server after each talk.

Description:
RISC-V is an open standard instruction set architecture (ISA) provided under open-source licenses that do not require fees to use. ISA is based on established reduced instruction set computer (RISC) principles. RISC-V has features to increase computer speed, while reducing cost and power use.

Many industry players like Google, IBM, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, and Samsung are members of the RISC-V Foundation and have long supported RISC-V development. In 2016, NVIDIA unveiled plans to replace the internal microcontrollers of their graphic cards with next-gen RISC-V-based controllers built for upcoming NVIDIA GPUs.

NVIDIA's Product Security undertook a detailed architectural analysis and research of the RISC-V IP, discovering a potential risk with the ambiguous specification of the Machine Trap Base Address (MTVEC) register. This ambiguity leads to potential fault injection vulnerabilities under physical attack models.

When: Friday, Aug 6, 10:00 - 10:45 PDT
Where: Track 2 Live; DCTV/Twitch #2 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:Cedric Owens
Cedric is currently an offensive security engineer who came from a blue team background. His passion revolves around red teams and blue teams working closely together to improve each other's tradecraft. Cedric enjoys researching techniques and writing tools related to macOS post exploitation and infrastructure automation.

Description:
Though the vast majority of US companies are enterprise Windows shops, there is a growing percentage of companies that are shifting away from this model. Most of these types of companies tend to be based in the SF Bay Area and are often tech companies. This talk will provide a glimpse into what common attack paths in these environments look like in the absence of typical enterprise Active Directory implementations. Examples include techniques for targeting macOS endpoints, cloud and IdaaS, CI/CD pipeline, and other fun approaches. I will begin by discussing common tech stacks and macOS deployments and then move into macOS initial access (including the Gatekeeper bypass I found) and post exploitation options in these modern tech environments as well as detection opportunities.

Description:
The conspiracy theories surrounding the November 2020 General Election have had a profound and significant impact on the American people but the devastating damage done to the integrity of our elections will take years to repair. This has resulted in death threats, attacks, and shows of force against our election workers, armed protests that turned violent and legislation that would take states backward to a time when America more blatantly disenfranchised certain groups and demographics of voters. The result is that many qualified election administrators are leaving the profession for positions where their lives are not in danger.

We must fight back against disinformation and the misinformation relating to our elections and those that would seek to speak fear and lies. We must pledge to push back on those lies and that disinformation in the media and online at every opportunity. We must work together on our elections to make sure that they are safe and secure as they can possibly be. Together, we can hack the conspiracies and take back our democracy.

Title: Hack the hackers: Leaking data over SSL/TLS
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 12:30 - 12:50 PDT
Where: Track 1 Live; DCTV/Twitch #1 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:Ionut Cernica
Ionut Cernica started his security career with the bug bounty program from Facebook. His passion for security led him to get involved in dozens of such programs and he found problems in very large companies such as Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, AT&T, eBay, VMware. He has also been testing web application security for 9 years and has had a large number of projects on the penetration testing side.

Another stage of his career was to get involved in security contests and participated in more than 100 such contests. He also reached important finals such as Codegate, Trend Micro and Defcon with the PwnThyBytes team. He also won several individual competitions, including the mini CTF from the first edition of Appsec village - Defcon village.

Now he is doing research in the field of web application security, being also a PhD student at University Polytechnic of Bucharest. Through his research he wants to innovate in the field and to bring a new layer of security to web applications. He has also been working as a Security Researcher @Future Networks 5G Lab for a few months now and hopes to make an important contribution to the 5G security area through research.

Twitter: @CernicaIonut

Description:
Have you considered that in certain situations the way hackers exploit vulnerabilities over the network can be predictable? Anyone with access to encrypted traffic can reverse the logic behind the exploit and thus obtain the same data as the exploit.

Various automated tools have been analyzed and it has been found that these tools operate in an unsafe way. Various exploit databases were analyzed and we learned that some of these are written in an insecure (predictable) way.

This presentation will showcase the results of the research, including examples of exploits that once executed can be harmful. The data we obtain after exploitation can be accessible to other entities without the need of decrypting the traffic. The SSL/TLS specs will not change. There is a clear reason for that and in this presentation I will argue this, but what will change for sure is the way hackers will write some of the exploits.

Description:
You’ve seen plenty of talks on exploiting, escalating, and exfiltrating the magical world of Google Cloud (GCP), but what about its buttoned-down sibling? This talk delves into the dark art of utilizing Apps Script to exploit G Suite (AKA Google Workspace).

As a studious sorcerer, you’ll discover how to pierce even the most fortified G Suite enterprises. You’ll learn to conjure Apps Script payloads to bypass powerful protective enchantments such as U2F, OAuth app allowlisting, and locked-down enterprise Chromebooks.

Our incantations don’t stop at the perimeter, we will also discover novel spells to escalate our internal privileges and bring more G Suite accounts under our control. Once we’ve obtained the access we seek, we’ll learn various curses to persist ourselves whilst keeping a low profile so as to not risk an unwelcome exorcism.

You don’t need divination to see that this knowledge just might rival alchemy in value.

Description:
As the proliferation of Artificial Intelligence as a Service (AIaaS) products such as OpenAI's GPT-3 API places advanced synthetic media generation capabilities in the hands of a global audience at a fraction of the cost, what does the future hold for AI-assisted social engineering attacks? In our talk, we will present the nuts and bolts of an AIaaS phishing pipeline that was successfully deployed in multiple authorized phishing campaigns. Using both paid and free services, we emulated the techniques that even low-skilled, limited resource actors could adopt to execute effective AI-assisted phishing campaigns at scale. By repurposing easily-accessible personality analysis AIaaS products, we generated persuasive phishing emails that were automatically personalized based on a target's public social media information and created by state-of-the-art natural language generators. We will also discuss how an AI-assisted phishing workflow would impact traditional social engineering teams and operations. Finally, we look at how AIaaS suppliers can mitigate the misuse of their products.

Title: Hacking the Apple AirTags
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 17:00 - 17:45 PDT
Where: Track 2 Live; DCTV/Twitch #2 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:Thomas Roth
Thomas Roth, also known as stacksmashing, is a security researcher from Germany with a focus on embedded devices: From hacking payment terminals, crypto wallets, secure processor, the Nintendo Game & Watch, up to Apple’s AirTag he loves to explore embedded & IoT security. On how YouTube channel “stacksmashing” he attempts to make reverse-engineering & hardware hacking more accessible.
Twitter: @ghidraninja
https://youtube.com/stacksmashing

Description:
Apple’s AirTags enable tracking of personal belongings. They are the most recent and cheapest device interacting with the Apple ecosystem. In contrast to other tracking devices, they feature Ultrawide-band precise positioning and leverage almost every other Apple device within the Find My localization network.

Less than 10 days after the AirTag release, we bypassed firmware protections by glitching the nRF52 microcontroller. This opens the AirTags for firmware analysis and modification. In this talk, we will explain the initial nRF52 bypass as well as various hacks built on top of this. In particular, AirTags can now act as phishing device by providing malicious links via the NFC interface, be cloned and appear at a completely different location, used without privacy protections that should alert users as tracking protection, act as low-quality microphone by reutilizing the accelerometer, and send arbitrary data via the Find My network. Besides these malicious use cases, AirTags are now a research platform that even allows access to the new Ultrawide-band chip U1.

Title: Hacking to Save Democracy: What Technologists Need to Know About Election Administration
When: Friday, Aug 6, 10:30 - 10:59 PDT
Where: Voting Village (Talks - Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Eddie Perez
Eddie Perez is the Global Director of Technology Development & Open Standards for the Open Source Election Technology Institute. He is a principal liaison to the TrustTheVote Project's election officials' stakeholder community.

Eddie has a wealth of expertise in election systems design, implementation, security, usability, and standards. A veteran of the commercial election technology industry, he formerly served as director of product management for one of the three major voting systems vendors in the U.S. Now, Eddie utilizes his skills to drive open source voting technology design, as well as federal and state certification for open source technologies, and voter education initiatives.

Description:
No technology is more consequential to democracy than election technology. When it's done well, election technology undergirds democracy and ensures that even the losers of elections respect the result. When it's done poorly, trust in democracy erodes and even the most powerful countries are shaken to their cores.

Time to panic? No, it’s time to roll up our sleeves!

Where others might despair, we see a golden opportunity! At no other time in our history have so many Americans of all political stripes been so focused on election integrity. We want security-minded, tech-savvy people of all genders, races, creeds, and political stripes to step up. And if we’re going to lower the temperature and bolster public confidence in election integrity, it’s critical to understand how elections are actually run, and how election technology is used. Election administration is a complex profession limited by law, policy, and specific practices.

Whether you’re new to election security, or an experienced practitioner, this presentation is a snapshot of the operating environment for election technology. Our goal is to help you learn what to anticipate, and how best to apply your technology skills in defense of democracy. Together, we can enhance election integrity and help to ensure that accurate information gets widely shared, and misinformation does not.

Description:
One common theme in the community: a lack of understanding over what jobs exist in the career field that encompasses Infosec, Information Assurance, Cyber Security, and related fields; and what it’s like to work and live in them. What’s right for you; what career path you create: there is no “right” answer or limits: knowing the options and leveraging your “why” will help guide your way. This presentation abstract proposes a small panel of sages, diverse on purpose, with those that have a combination of career experience in government, military, industry sharing their career path experiences; their “whys” of where they worked and why they are where they are now; but with the focus on giving attendees ideas and options they might not have considered before.

Description:
This is a live tutorial of hacking with keystroke injection attacks. We take advantage of the inherent trust that computers place on what is believed to be a regular keyboard to unleash pre-programmed keystroke payloads at well over 1000 words a minute. We access the host system and bypass traditional security countermeasures for payloads that can include reverse shells, binary injection, brute force password attacks, and just about any attack that can be fully automated.

We misuse the trust the operating system places on USB human-interaction devices to demonstrate once again the old adage that if you can physically access a computing device, there is no real security to be had. I will review hardware, its capabilities, how to breach OS security, and how attackers can enable it to perform a variety of tasks with its own tools. I will then show how to build and install additional software and customize the device with binary or scripted payloads.

We take the discussion to the next level by removing the need for a device and exploring attacks that can be delivered directly by a plain USB cable. We dissect easily-sourced, low-cost hardware implants embedded in standard, innocent-looking USB cables providing an attacker with further capabilities, including among them the ability to track its own geolocation.

When: Sunday, Aug 8, 10:00 - 10:59 PDT
Where: Track 2 CLOSED; DCTV/Twitch #2 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:Justin Perdok

Twitter: @justinperdok

Description:
By responding to probing requests made by Palo Alto and SonicWALL firewalls, it's possible to apply security policies to arbitrary IPs on the network, allowing access to segmented resources.

Segmentation using firewalls is a critical security component for an organization. To scale, many firewall vendors have features that make rule implementation simpler, such as basing effective access on a user identity or workstation posture. Security products that probe client computers often have their credentials abused by either cracking a password hash, or by relaying an authentication attempt elsewhere. Prior work by Esteban Rodriguez and by Xavier Mertens cover this. In this talk I will show a new practical attack on identity-based firewalls to coerce them into applying chosen security policies to arbitrary IPs on a network by spoofing logged in users instead of cracking passwords.

Logged on user information is often gathered using the WKST (Workstation Service Remote Protocol) named pipe. By extending Impacket with the ability to respond to these requests, logged on users on a device can be spoofed, and arbitrary firewall rules applied.

We will dive into the details of how client probing has historically been a feature that should be avoided while introducing a new practical attack to emphasize that fact.

Description:
Local election officials faced unprecedented challenges while administering elections in 2020, from widespread disinformation to COVID-19 safety precautions. Unlike in previous election cycles, though, the global pandemic prevented officials from connecting in person to commiserate, share best practices, and support each other.

In December of 2020, the High Turnout Wide Margins podcast launched to fill the void and give administrators an outlet for discussing the nuts and bolts of elections. Co-hosts Brianna Lennon, an elected county clerk in Boone County, Missouri and Eric Fey, an appointed director of elections in St. Louis County, Missouri, talk to subject-matter experts on topics like cybersecurity, disinformation, and elections integrity. In this presentation, Lennon and Fey share key takeaways from these discussions.

High Turnout Wide Margins is not a commercial podcast.

Description:
With attacks moving below the operating system and computer firmware vulnerability discovery on the rise, the need to keep current platforms updated becomes important and new technology is developed to help defend against such threats. Major computer manufacturers are adding capabilities to make it easier to update BIOS.

Our research has identified multiple vulnerabilities in Dell's BiosConnect feature used for remote update and recovery of the operating system. These vulnerabilities are easy to exploit by an adversary in the right position, and are not prevented by protective technologies such as Secured Core PCs, BitLocker, BootGuard, and BIOS Guard.

Join us and together we will explore the new attack surfaces introduced by these UEFI firmware update mechanisms -- including a full walk-through of multiple vulnerability findings and the methods we used to create fully working exploits that gain remote code execution within the laptop BIOS and their effects on the operating system.

Description:
Heap exploitation is an incredibly powerful tool for a hacker. As exploit mitigations have made exploitation more difficult, modern exploit development has moved to the heap. However, heap exploitation is a subject that has evaded many people for years for one reason: they focus on the techniques instead of the allocator. By learning with an allocator first style, the techniques are easily understood and practical to use.

This workshop is for learning heap exploit development in GLibC Malloc. GLibC Malloc is the default allocator on most Linux distros. With this hands-on introduction into GLibC Malloc heap exploitation you will learn how the allocator functions, heap specific vulnerability classes and to pwn with a variety of techniques. Whether you're an avid CTFer or just trying to get into heap exploitation on your pwnables site, this course is good for adding another tool to the tools arsenal. After taking this course you will understand the GLibC Malloc allocator, be able to discover heap specific vulnerability classes and pwn the heap with a variety of techniques, with the capability to easily learn more.

She has worked in a government consulting capacity for over 15 years and in her spare time is a Cyber Instructor, mentor, and red-team leaning ethical hacking advocate for diversity in Cyber and the executive suites.
Twitter: @misstennisha

Description:
This talk focuses on algorithmic analysis and machine learning in the healthcare and criminal justice settings. Algorithms make a lot of important decisions including selecting candidates for a particular residency in medical school, tests that identify skin cancer in patients or determining the sentencing recommendations for people convicted of a crime. The outcome of these decisions includes impacting the number of people (or people of color) in certain specialties, failing to identify skin cancer in people of color and recommending longer sentences for black people and in particular black men. Studies have been shown that bias in algorithms have a wide-ranging impact, especially in the areas of clinical decision support and in criminal justice. Clinical decision support is integrated into electronic health records around the world and are used to establish things like best practices, medication guidelines, and prioritization of patients. The idea behind clinical decision support is that the algorithms are used based on aggregated data to help health care providers provide a standard of care. The reality, however, is that there is a thin line between the algorithms acting as the basis for recommendations and them acting autonomously. The aggregation of data and the formulation of algorithms by a largely homogeneous population results in bias and discrimination against people of color. In criminal justice, the racial impact of predictive policing is that black people serve longer times in jail. In healthcare, the impact of algorithmic bias results in poorer health outcomes, and failure to diagnose and treat patients of color. The result is that bias and discrimination in artificial intelligence will have members of the Black community incarcerated or dead.

Twitter: @Bazinga73

Description:
If you think I'm shouting something about security strategy for a multi-cloud environment...it's because I AM. Secure your dangling DNS records. Your object storage is showing. I can see your compute workload from here. Get your security groups straight. Have you seen the laundry list of accounts no one has performed nary an IAM credential analysis? Are your analytic processes hamstrung and kludgey from, you know, being cloudy? Don't know to even assess your options? Let's talk about how to evaluate cloud security tools and the considerations you need to make for your enterprise.

By now, every company should not only be aware of the cloud but actively using it to some degree—whether run by your IT department or, unofficially, by your engineering teams and sales organizations itching to invite a script kiddie to pluck your precious intellectual property—I mean, POC and strut their stuff that they can take their security and IT matters into their own hands.

Either way, you need a strategy or a clue. One is good. Both are better. Tying them together is best.

In this talk, I'll cover a number of random things. The generic reasons why many teams want to use cloud accounts. The common gotchas that may improve or disrupt your obviously super awesome demo for your customer, boss, team. Or just to actually do real work and expand your organization's compute demand en masse.

The focus will be addressing the technical gotchas in managing, monitoring, and assessing the security needs against the "business" needs for your organization: engineering, IT, and compliance. Operationally, you'll hit a breaking point. Too many users, too many accounts, too many workloads hammering your cloud interface. I'll focus primarily on AWS but also generically cover the other major Cloud Service Provider flavors, as, in the end, it's all the same: your org may have gotten wind that there are other cloud accounts and they just wanted to play with ALL OF THEM. How do you corral these little beasts? Tools. Technology. Processes.

I'll focus on open source tools like Prowler and ScoutSuite, touch some for closed source, but you'll still need to understand how to operationally point, aim, and fire to make it scale for you. In my experience, there's a certain level of "je ne sais quoi" element to getting to a comfortable level in overseeing the management of all these cloud accounts. I'll probably spend the balance of the time critiquing each tool in the end and present pros/cons and likely scenarios for you/your team/your org's maturity here to help you to drive your choice. Who knows, maybe I'll talk about my own open-source spin on things!

Twitter: @Fr1endlyRATs
https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-isler

Description:
Is it correct to define as Red Team a service that only exploits vulnerabilities from a single vector without including elements typical of highly complex attacks such as social engineering and physical intrusion? By leaving out the starting point of actual attacks to create simulations of these, are we really focusing on potential threats or just particular vulnerabilities? Isn't layer eight the first layer we should consider for threats and consequently recognize vulnerabilities? Through four extremely particular and highly probable scenarios. Under a storytelling format we will immerse ourselves in a test narrated in first person, under the context of a Red Team exercise. We will understand the importance of including social engineering and physical intrusion actions for highly complex attack simulations.

Even having the best preparation, state-of-the-art devices and overwhelming information gathering. Reality will always have variants and surprises that attackers know how to take advantage of. Exposure to these variants is critical for simulation practitioners to emulate and recognize potential threats.

Description:
Fastjson is a widely used open source JSON parser with 23'100 stars on GitHub. As a basic module of countless java web services, it serves hundreds of millions of users. We managed to find a way to bypass many security checks and mitigations by using the inheritance process of some basic classes, and achieve remote code execution successfully. We will disclose these high-risk and universal gadgets for the first time in this talk.

Now, we can control many important websites and affect millions of users. Let's make things more interesting. We found that this fastjson vulnerability affect a multi-billion-dollar blockchain. We designed multiple complex gadgets based on the features of the blockchain, and exquisitely achieved information leakage and pointer hijacking. Putting all these gadgets together, we achieved remote code execution on the blockchain nodes.

However, generally after remote code execution, we seem to have no better exploit method other than the 51% attack, which will lead to serious accounting confusion. After a detailed analysis of the architecture design of the public blockchain, we found a way from RCE to steal the public blockchain users' assets almost without any notification.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first published attack case on the realization of covertly stealing user assets after RCE on the public blockchain nodes. We will propose a more covert post penetration exploit method for public blockchain nodes in this talk.

Blockchain is not bulletproof to security vulnerability. We will show you how to use classical web vulnerabilities attack the blockchain and how to steal real money from the decentralized cyber world.

Carsten has participated as core team member (IT expert) in the Carter Center Mission to Kenya 2017 and was part of the IFES Cyber Assessment Week in Ukraine 2018.He has also served as New Voting Technology Analyst for the OSCE Limited Election Observation Mission to the United States in 2018 and the Expert Election Mission to Estonia in 2019. Prior to moving to Denmark, Carsten was a member of the computer science faculty at Yale University. He holds a PhD degree from Carnegie-Mellon University.

Description:
Risk-limiting audits (RLAs) are widely considered to be the gold standard of election auditing, and there is an implicit assumption that a successful audit will also create confidence among the voters and hence public trust. If this were true, there would be little reason to fear that RLAs could ever be misused in a disinformation campaign. It turns out, however, that this assumption is not necessarily true: In a recent user study to appear this year's E-Vote-ID, we show that a significant number of survey participants change their opinion whether to trust an election after they learn the size of the sample needed to complete the RLA. In this talk we argue that even a well-intended correctly conducted RLA can be weaponized in a disinformation campaign.

Title: HTTP/2: The Sequel is Always Worse
When: Friday, Aug 6, 10:00 - 10:59 PDT
Where: DCTV/Twitch #3 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:James Kettle
James Kettle is Director of Research at PortSwigger Web Security, where he cultivates novel web attack techniques. Recent work has focused on HTTP Request Smuggling, and using web cache poisoning to turn caches into exploit delivery systems. Past research includes server-side RCE via Template Injection, client-side RCE via malicious formulas in CSV exports, and abusing the HTTP Host header to poison password reset emails and server-side caches. He is also the author of multiple popular Burp Suite extensions including HTTP Request Smuggler, Param Miner and Turbo Intruder. He has spoken at numerous prestigious venues including DEF CON, both BlackHat USA and EU, and OWASP AppSec USA and EU.

Description:
HTTP/2 is easily mistaken for a transport-layer protocol that can be swapped in with zero security implications for the website behind it. Two years ago, I presented HTTP Desync Attacks and kicked off a wave of request smuggling, but HTTP/2 escaped serious analysis. In this presentation, I'll take you beyond the frontiers of existing HTTP/2 research, to unearth horrifying implementation flaws and subtle RFC oversights.

I'll show you how these flaws enable HTTP/2-exclusive desync attacks, with case studies targeting high-profile websites powered by servers ranging from Amazon's Application Load Balancer to WAFs, CDNs, and bespoke stacks by big tech. I'll demonstrate critical impact by hijacking thick clients, poisoning caches, and stealing plaintext passwords to net multiple max-bounties.

After that, I'll unveil novel techniques and tooling to crack open a widespread but overlooked request smuggling variant affecting both HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 that is typically mistaken for a false positive.

Finally, I'll drop multiple exploit-primitives that resurrect a largely-forgotten class of vulnerability, and use HTTP/2 to expose fresh application-layer attack surface.

I'll leave you with an open-source scanner, a custom, open-source HTTP/2 stack, and free interactive labs so you can hone your new skills on live systems.

REFERENCES
The HTTP/2 RFC is essential reading: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540 This research is built on my previous work on this topic: https://portswigger.net/research/http-desync-attacks-request-smuggling-reborn This presentation by defparam has good explanations of response queue poisoning and self-desync attacks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tpnuzFLU8g I had a partial research collision with Emil Lerner. His work provides an alternative perspective on certain techniques: https://github.com/neex/http2smugl

Twitter: @pr0teusbr

Description:
Like all major public cloud providers, AWS allows users to expose managed resources like S3 buckets, SQS queues, RDS databases, and others publicly on the Internet. There are legitimate uses for making resources public, such as publishing non-sensitive data. However, we often find that this functionality is mistakenly used, often due to a lack of cloud security expertise, to erroneously expose sensitive data. News of exposed S3 buckets are sadly very frequent in the specialized media. It is important to note, however, that there are many other relevant kinds of AWS resources that can be equally dangerous when publicly exposed but that doesn't get nearly as much scrutiny as S3 buckets. In this talk we are going to describe some of the methods that researchers and attackers use to discover and exploit these publicly exposed resources, and how cloud providers and defenders can have taken action to monitor, prevent and respond to these activities.

Title: I know who has access to my cloud, do you?
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 09:00 - 09:15 PDT
Where: Blue Team Village - Main Track (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Igal Flegmann
Igal started his career in Microsoft’s Azure Security team creating and managing identity services for Azure’s secure production tenants. During his time at Azure Security, Igal had the opportunity to create and manage PKI services, Identity Management products, tools for migrating running services across Azure tenants, and created products for password-less bootstrap to new domains. After a successful career in Azure Security, Igal transferred teams to work in Azure’s ASCII (Azure Special Capabilities, Infrastructure, and Innovation) team, where he used his identity and security expertise to design and create security services to protect the critical infrastructure devices of the world.

To follow his passion for identity and security, Igal decided to leave Microsoft and Co-found, Keytos a security company with the mission of eliminating passwords by creating easy to use PKI offerings. Earlier this year they launch their first product “EZSSH” which takes aim at stopping SSH Key theft by making it easy to use short lived SSH Certificates.

Twitter: @igal_fs

Description:
In this talk, we will talk about the importance of monitoring your Azure RBAC and we will introduce SubWatcher our newly released open-source tool that we use internally to compliment Azure security tools and scan our subscriptions to make sure our systems are not being accessed by bad actors. Can’t wait to see where the community takes this amazing tool!

When comparing security reviews with red team findings, I always found that security reviews are based on what they think their system looks like and not how it actually is. Is the SSH port really closed? Or did I forget to close it the last time I was debugging something? Wait who added this identity as owner of the resources and when?!

Azure Security Center provides us with some great tools to check some of these errors. For example, from the two examples above it will alert on the SSH port being left open but it would not alert on some new person being added to your production subscription.

The Solution? SubWatcher our internal tool that it was too good to keep in-house and not share it with the world. SubWatches is an open-source tool that monitors your Azure Subscription ACLs and will alert you if they changed based on the baseline you have created.

Description:
Working in security over the last few years I have learned that it is nearly impossible to stop a breach from happening. While having great security practices such as: Isolated password-less identities, isolated devices, and condition access; will help you stop 99% of the attacks we need to ask ourselves the following questions: Are we monitoring our infrastructure for changes that might open an attack vector? Are we ready to detect and remediate our next breach before the attacker can do any damage? Azure Security Center provides us with some great tools to check some of these errors. For example, it will alert on the SSH port being left open but it would not alert on a very large IP address range being added to your networking rules. The Solution? CloudWatcher our open-source tool that monitors your Azure Subscription ACLs and will alert you if they changed based on the baseline you have created.

Title: I used AppSec skills to hack IoT, and so can you
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 10:00 - 10:45 PDT
Where: IoT Village (Talk - Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Alexei Kojenov
Alexei began his career as a software developer. A decade later, he realized that breaking code was way more fun than writing code, and decided to switch direction. He is now a full-time application security professional, with several years of assisting various development teams in delivering secure code, as well as security consulting. Outside of his day job, Alexei enjoys doing security research and learning new hacking techniques.

Description:
We tend to think of AppSec and IoT as two separate infosec disciplines. Sure, the domain knowledge, attack vectors, and threat mitigation are not exactly the same in those two worlds. At the same time, as the hardware continues to evolve, we see more and more tiny general purpose computers around us. Many of these tiny computers nowadays run software that is written in a conventional programming language, listen on network ports, process data inputs, and communicate with the outside world. These devices can be attacked just like any other application running on a desktop, on a server, or in the cloud.

In this talk, I am going to tell you a story about my hacking journey that unexpectedly took me from device configuration settings to software reverse engineering, vulnerability discovery, and six new CVEs. Together, we’ll go step by step through reconnaissance, firmware analysis, decompiling, code review, and remote debugging. I’ll also share my experience with the responsible disclosure process. I hope this talk inspires you to apply your general hacking skills to new areas such as IoT, even if you’ve never done that before.


IoT Village talks will be streamed to Twitch. Select speakers may be available in the IoT Village on-site to answer questions.

Description:
Cyber attacks on Industrial Control Systems (ICS) differ in scope and impact based on a number of factors, including the adversary's intent, sophistication and capabilities, and familiarity with ICS and automated indutrial processes. In order to understand, identify and address the specific points that can prevent or stop an attack, a systematic model known as "Cyber Kill Chain" is detailed, a term that comes from the military environment and registered by the Lockheed Martin company. While most are familiar with terms and theoretical diagrams of how security should be implemented, in this talk we want to present live how an attack chain occurs from scratch to compromise industrial devices, the full kill chain, based in our experiences. The goal is to land these threats into the real world without the need to carry out these attacks with a nation-state budget.

Description:
With more than 24,000 permissions across AWS, Azure, and GCP, how does one determine who gets what permissions? Half of the 10,000 permissions in AWS are admin-like permissions. This is even more complicated when new permissions and services are being added almost daily. Mapping these out and understanding their implications is a difficult task, yet attackers understand them well enough to leverage toxic combinations of these permissions for privilege escalation and exploiting your cloud infrastructure. In this presentation, we'll share our experiences in doing > 150 risk assessments across AWS, Azure, and GCP. We'll review common admin permissions that we commonly find accidentally assigned to developers and users. We'll reveal some extremely powerful permissions that can be mapped to a Cyber Kill Chain specific to cloud infrastructure. This will uncover toxic combinations of permissions that can lead to lateral movement, privilege escalation, exfiltration, and more. We'll provide real world examples of findings from audit logs, activity monitoring, and ML-based anomaly analysis. We'll then outline a strategy to tracking this moving forward actively within your environment and how to mitigate this over-permissioned access to build a permissions management lifecycle.

Cloud Village activities will be streamed to YouTube.

Title: Inspecting Signals from Satellites to Shock Collars
When: Friday, Aug 6, 10:00 - 13:59 PDT
Where: Workshops - Las Vegas 1+2 (Onsite Only)
Speakers:Eric Escobar,Trenton Ivey

SpeakerBio:Eric Escobar , Principal Security Consultant
Eric is a seasoned pentester and a Principal Security Consultant at Secureworks. On a daily basis he attempts to compromise large enterprise networks to test their physical, human, network and wireless security. His team consecutively won first place at DEF CON 23, 24, and 25's Wireless CTF, snagging a black badge along the way. Forcibly retired from competing in the Wireless CTF, he’s now a member of the DEF CON Wireless Village team. Before entering the cyber security arena, Eric attained both a BS and MS in Civil Engineering along with his Professional Engineering license.

SpeakerBio:Trenton Ivey , Senior Security Researcher
Trenton is a Senior Security Researcher for Secureworks’ Counter Threat Unit and is a Technical Lead for Secureworks Adversary Group. He currently builds tools to assist with offensive testing, and helps defenders find creative ways to respond. Prior to joining Secureworks, Trenton helped build the network penetration team for a Fortune 500 company, performed web-application and device testing for a PA-QSA company, and provided IT support for one of the largest health systems in the US. Trenton received his Bachelors of Science in Biology and Chemistry and now regularly tries to find ways to apply lessons learned from the physical world to the digital one. Trenton has his Expert Class Amateur Radio license and is a lifelong member of AMSAT (Amateur Radio in Space).

Description:
Invisible signals control everything from satellites to shock collars. Wireless security can be intimidating, especially when research requires a low-level understanding of the many ways radio waves can carry data. The concept of using light to send messages is not hard to grasp, but the several abstraction layers between physical radio waves and decoded data packets obscure what is really happening when wireless devices communicate. By examining several topics that are rarely presented together, this workshop provides the introduction to wireless hacking that we both wish we had when starting out. If you want the ability to see and manipulate the unseen, this workshop is for you.

Title: Instrument and Find Out: Writing Parasitic Tracers for High(-Level) Languages
When: Sunday, Aug 8, 14:00 - 14:20 PDT
Where: DCTV/Twitch #3 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:Jeff Dileo
Jeff Dileo (chaosdata) is a security consultant by day, and sometimes by night. He hacks on embedded systems, mobile apps and devices, web apps, and complicated things that don't have names. He likes candy and arguing about text editors and window managers he doesn't actually use.
Twitter: @chaosdatumz

Description:
Modern programming languages are, more and more, being designed not just around performance, ease-of-use, and (sometimes) security, but also performance monitoring and introspectability. But what about the languages that never adopted such concepts from their peers? Or worse, what about the languages that tacked on half-hearted implementations as an afterthought? The answer is simple, you write your own and instrument them into the language dynamically.

In this talk, we will discuss the process for developing generalized parasitic tracers targeting specific programming languages and runtimes using Ruby as our case study. We will show how feasible it is to write external tracers targeting a language and its runtime, and discuss best practices for supporting different versions over time.

Title: IoT devices as government witnesses: Can IoT devices ever be secure if law enforcement has unlimited access to their data?
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 16:30 - 16:59 PDT
Where: IoT Village (Talk - Virtual)
Speakers:Anthony Hendricks,Jordan Sessler

SpeakerBio:Anthony Hendricks
Anthony Hendricks is an attorney who advises clients as the chair of Crowe & Dunlevy’s Cybersecurity & Data Privacy Practice Group. In that role, he frequently analyzes and litigates legal issues related to IoT devices. Prior to beginning his practice, he studied as Howard University's first Marshall Scholar and later graduated from Harvard Law School. He now teaches cybersecurity law as an adjunct professor at Oklahoma City University School of Law.

SpeakerBio:Jordan Sessler
Jordan Sessler is an attorney who advises clients on data security as a member of Crowe & Dunlevy’s Cybersecurity & Data Privacy Practice Group. In that role, he regularly engages with legal issues related to IoT devices and has represented companies in disputes with law enforcement regarding the discoverability of user- and device-generated data. Prior to beginning his practice, he graduated from Harvard Law School and clerked for U.S. District Court Judge D.P. Marshall Jr.

Description:
A man in Connecticut was arrested after his wife’s Fitbit implicated him in her murder. Prosecutors in Arkansas sought to use data from an Amazon Echo as evidence against a murder suspect. Local police sought access to car, TV, and even refrigerator data to monitor Black Lives Matter protestors—and the FBI did the same thing to help track down suspects in the aftermath of the January 6th, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

These examples are hardly isolated instances—there are thousands of other cases just like them. And they all speak to an important truth: IoT devices are increasingly being used by law enforcement for investigational purposes and, in some cases, even being made into star witnesses at trial. But law enforcement’s use of IoT devices raises two important questions. First, does allowing the government to use IoT data violate consumer expectations of privacy, particularly at a time when IoT products are being made and marketed with an eye toward information security? Second, are criminal suspects being provided with the same near-limitless access to IoT data for purposes of mounting their legal defense?

The answers to both of these questions are troubling, in large part because the law is inherently back-ward looking and is thus not equipped to grapple with the raw amount of information is now generated. Just as many consumers did not realize several years that their watch or car audio system would be used by law enforcement to track their location 24/7, so lawmakers and judges did not either. For example, the Federal Privacy Act of 1974 never contemplated that, rather than maintaining records, the government would simply buy access to private records—as ICE recently did by purchasing access to CLEAR—or create its own iOS app to ensnare criminals, as the FBI recently did. Likewise, although the Supreme Court noted the private nature of cell phone location data in Carpenter v. United States, this was a 5-4 decision (while RBG was still on the bench) that only applied the Fourth Amendment to historical cell phone GPS data, effectively leaving the law unsettled on many other types of IoT data. This has led courts, including a New York federal court in a case involving Apple, to express concerns that, even where warrants are involved, allowing the government to force companies to produce IoT device data could “result in a virtually limitless expansion of the government’s legal authority to surreptitiously intrude on personal privacy.”

These concerns are heightened by the fact that, although the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure are supposed provide defendants with equal discovery rights, the Stored Communications Act often prevents defendants from accessing the IoT data of others, such as witnesses, accusers, or potential other defendants. In practice, this means that IoT data can effectively be used against criminal suspects but is not available for them to use in arguing their legal defense. This results in an incredible inequality in the criminal justice system. And it may also lead to erroneous outcomes: as with DNA evidence, IoT data may help exonerate criminals just as often as it implicates them. Indeed, in the Arkansas v. Bates murder case, the prosecution dismissed the charges against the defendant shortly after it obtained the Amazon Echo data, which apparently validated the defendant’s alibi. Similarly, allegations of cheating against low-income students at Dartmouth Medical School were dismissed after IoT data brought into question potentially erroneous remote test monitoring that may have been skewed by poor internet.

So what can we do to reform or limit government use of IoT data? This talk aims to talk through ways in which both the infosec and legal communities can increase their mutual understanding and help drive reform. In the short term, the infosec community can increase security by minimizing, encrypting, or de-identifying data. This can reduce the amount of information that IoT devices collect and, thus, are required to turn over to law enforcement. Over the long-term, the best solution may be to pass new laws or drive new judicial precedent that incorporates an understanding as to what IoT data is, how it is changing expectations of privacy, and how it is being used by law enforcement. Such laws could either limit access to IoT data—enshrining a greater degree of privacy—or set forth procedures delineating when authorities may use it and guaranteeing defendants equal access. Of course, there are other potential solutions and we hope this talk will help launch a broader discussion on how to help the law interact with IoT technology.


IoT Village talks will be streamed to Twitch. Select speakers may be available in the IoT Village on-site to answer questions.

He ran a hack lab in Fargo, ND for 4 years where he taught hardware hacking and penetration testing on evenings and weekends. When not hacking, Tim enjoys cycling, walking, and live music.

Description:
In this IoT 101 level talk I provide practical instruction to security focused individuals who want to test IoT devices for critical vulnerabilities. Included will be basic network pentesting of the device, web app or other UI testing, extracting/downloading firmware, and using binwalk. This will also include reviewing binaries for potential backdoors, looking for hardcoded credentials, and whitebox code review of the UI interface to look for backdoors or other vulnerabilities. All testing will be done against publicly downloadable binaries.

IoT Village talks will be streamed to Twitch. Select speakers may be available in the IoT Village on-site to answer questions.

Title: Judging by the Cover: Profiling & Targeting Through Social Media
When: Friday, Aug 6, 12:30 - 13:30 PDT
Where: Social Engineer Village (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Christina Lekati
Christina Lekati is a psychologist, a social engineer and an open-source intelligence analyst.

She specializes in behavioral analysis and in intelligence collection and analysis through open source and human intelligence.

Christina has participated among other things in penetration tests, in trainings to companies and organizations, in vulnerability assessments, and in profiling and analysis of the modus operandi, and in the process of identifying personality traits, behavioral tendencies, and other variables of victims and offenders.

Christina is working with Cyber Risk GmbH as a social engineering specialist and an open source intelligence investigator for the vulnerability assessments conducted on corporations and high-value targets. She is the main developer of the social engineering training programs provided by Cyber Risk GmbH. Those programs are intertwining the lessons learned from real life cases and previous experiences with the fields of cybersecurity, psychology, and counterintelligence.

She is also an active Advisory Board Member at the OSINT Curious project.


Description:
While to the rest of the world social media are friendly platforms of communication and sharing, for the fellow social engineers and OSINT analysts, they are targeting and information harvesting platforms. Even though social media do not always demonstrate our true personalities, they do demonstrate the way we want to be viewed and treated by others – which can be a lot more useful for social engineers. They also “leak” behavioral tendencies and characteristics that provide significant intelligence for any type of operation targeting humans.

The talk covers the topic of information gathering through social media intelligence (SOCMINT), and explains how even seemingly innocent information can be used to manipulate or influence targets. Case studies will be provided.

It will also discuss the art & science of profiling, along with its limitations for social engineering engagements. A two-part demonstration is included on how a profiler’s mind works when harvesting information on social media:

The first part includes real examples of posts that expose vulnerabilities, attract attackers and ultimately can be exploited and lead to security breaches. The second part dives deeper and demonstrates how the information found on a social media profile (from their pictures to the words used by the individual) are gathered, categorized into a profiling matrix and then analyzed, bringing into the surface a personality profile. The target’s profile can then provide actionable intelligence that increases the success of attacks, or attack simulations.

Title: Keeping Your Information Security Policy Up to Date
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 12:00 - 12:30 PDT
Where: Voting Village (Talks - Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Sang-Oun Lee
Sang-Oun Lee is an IT Security Specialist-Compliance at the City of Chicago. Prior to his current position at the City, Mr. Lee served as a cybersecurity policy expert in both public and private sectors. In the public sector, Mr. Lee served two government agencies in the Republic of Korea, Korea Internet & Security Agency and National Security Research Institute respectively. In the private sector, Mr. Lee was a Chief Information & Financial Officer at EPIKAR Inc., a mobility start-up company based in Seoul, Korea. Mr. Lee holds Master of Public Policy from the University of Chicago, Master of Science in Engineering from Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea, and Bachelor’s degree from Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan.

Description:
Information security policy (ISP) is the highest directive of the cybersecurity posture of an organization. ISPs play a role by providing a subset of administrative, operational, and technical controls to mitigate omnidirectional cyber risks. Local government, which provides a wide range of public services with various functions, is a double-edged sword.

On the one hand, its public impact on every activity is wide enough to influence a far broader audience with multiple interests. On the other hand, this wider audience than private organizations allows salient cyberattacks such as influence operations with social media, conveyance of wrongful policy information, a breach in personal health information (PHI) and privacy, and so forth - protecting a local government is both protection of an organization and its residents.

This presentation suggests a method to revise existing ISP to make contributions for ISP staying up-to-date, align to the latest industry standards and regulations to be compliant, and narrowing down newly identified gaps from the local government perspective.

Twitter: @magnologan

Description:
This workshop aims to give an overview about how Kubernetes works and provide some best practices to secure your cluster whenever you are deploying a new cluster on your own or via managed services such as GKE, EKS or AKS. We are going to cover everything from the Control Plane or the Master Node, starting with the API server, including etcd, RBAC and network policies. Then, we’ll cover the worker nodes, kubelet, audit logs and pods best practices. We'll talk about the CIS Benchmarks for Kubernetes and the default configurations you need to worry about when deploying a new cluster. We'll show how to use RBAC and assign roles and permissions to your cluster users. We'll demonstrate how to enable audit logs for better visibility and later we'll set up some network policies to avoid communication between pods and prevent any lateral movement from attackers. Are you starting to use Kubernetes for container orchestration? Do you need guidelines on how to start securing Kubernetes in your organization? Do you want to find a way to increase the protection of your Kubernetes clusters without increasing the complexity of the infrastructure? Do you need to use Kubernetes clusters in a safe, efficient and affordable way? Everything in a practical way with a focus on security best practices? Then this is the workshop for you! Outline:

URL to any additional information:
https://github.com/vchinnipilli/kubestriker

Detailed Explanation of Tool:
The tool is open source and platform-agnostic making it compatible with various platforms such as self-hosted kubernetes, Amazon EKS, Azure AKS and Google GKE.

Current capabilities include performing in-depth reconnaissance and automated enumeration for a range of services and open ports. It also scans for a wide range of IAM misconfigurations, misconfigured containers and misconfigured pod security and network policies. It can also assess the excessive privileges of subjects in the cluster and generate an elaborative report with detailed explanation of the findings.

It also incorporates security for containers running in the cluster by continuously discovering, tracking, scanning, and reporting them, along with the ability to see some of the components of kubernetes infrastructure and provide visualised attack paths of how hackers can advance their attacks by chaining different misconfigured components in the kubernetes cluster.

Target Audience:
Offensive and Defensive Security Professionals Security Auditors
Developers, Devops, Sysadmins, Devsecops and SRE professionals The aim of the presentation is to demonstrate the kind of attacks that are possible due to misconfigurations. In particular, through the use of Kubestriker, I will demonstrate how misconfigured cluster privileges can compromise the kubernetes platform and its underlying infrastructure, along with showing backdooring cloud environments, avoid detection by manipulating logging controls and access sensitive information and trade secrets due to IAM, pod security policy and webhook misconfigurations.

Description:
BLE CTF is a series of Bluetooth low energy challenges in a capture the flag format. It was created to teach the fundamentals of interacting with and hacking Bluetooth Low Energy services. Each exercise, or flag, aims to interactively teach a new concept to the user. For this workshop, we will step through a series of exercises to teach beginner students new concepts and allow more seasoned users to try new tools and techniques. After completing this workshop, you should have a good solid understanding of how to interact with and hack on BLE devices in the wild.

If you have done BLE CTF in the past, this class is still valuable. For advanced users we offer BLE CTF Infinity which is a sequel to BLE CTF. BLE CTF Infinity offers new exercises where each flag challenge is hosted in a completely separate GATT service. The new version allows for more advanced challenges which were not possible in the past.

In her spare time, she enjoys Scrabble and swimming and has a lively flat-coated retriever named Ciaran.
Twitter: @wayward710

Description:
The U.S. Constitution requires that a Census be conducted every 10 years. In addition to counting populations, the Census also collects personal data that's legally required to be kept private. This presents a growing challenge: how can the Census provide accurate statistical data without revealing information that would allow others to piece together someone's data? For example, what if you had a very small census block with only one member of a particular ethnicity? Without any privacy measures, it might be possible to figure out who the person was. Big data also increases privacy risks. What if it was possible to deidentify Census data and then combine it with social media big data?

The Census Bureau has developed a Disclosure Avoidance System that uses differential privacy to introduce noise into results. Essentially, the goal of differential privacy is to give each person the same amount of privacy they would have if their data was removed. Differential privacy has a number of implications for redistricting; for example, it may make gerrymandering more difficult since fine-grained data is obscured.

This talk will discuss Census privacy challenges, and provide an overview of differential privacy.

Title: MAVSH> Attacking from Above
When: Friday, Aug 6, 14:00 - 14:45 PDT
Where: Track 1 Live; DCTV/Twitch #1 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:Sach
Sach is a self taught developer, an aspiring pentester, and a drone enthusiast. In his spare time he enjoys playing chess, reading Sci-Fi novels, learning about cryptocurrencies, and flying drones.
Twitter: @0xkayn

Description:
Over the course of 2020 and 2021, drone enthusiasts and the FAA have been locked in a series of legal battles over the future of unmanned aviation.

New regulations and restrictions, such as Remote Identification, aim to leave drone and model aviation hobbyists with a grim choice: incur countless financial costs, or lose the ability to fly freely.

Not only do these regulations impact hobbyists, they also restrict our ability to use drones as recon and payload delivery tools, but the FAA gave us a loophole.

In this talk, I'll share my knowledge of the MAVLink protocol and how it can be modified to take advantage of that loophole. I'll also show you how to build a drone capable of 20+ minute flights, potentially multiple miles of range, and hosting a Raspberry Pi 0 W onboard, enabling remote command execution without the use of onboard WiFi or cellular networks ALL while exploiting that loophole.

Come learn how and why the FAA "Can't Stop the Signal"!

Description:
IoT is an ever-expanding attack surface about which we have many misconceptions and assumptions but for which we have very few policies, regulations or security. These are devices built for one purpose, not meant to be upgraded and rarely if ever patched. As more devices are enabled to connect and communicate online, in the relentless pursuit of innovation, we’ve put the cart before the horse and failed to construct a framework to effectively control and secure the capability created. Consider this: over 90% of the data in the world was created over the past two years, and current output is roughly 2.5 quintillion bytes per day. As IoT moves into a range of enterprise environments, driven by consumer demand and BYOD desire, Shadow IT becomes Shadow ET, bringing new challenges and risks that our existing compliance and security don’t address or regulate. Misconfiguration usurps any benefits of eroding segregation as online exposure of both sensitive data and critical systems increases. Adversaries at all levels have been watching, waiting and are making their moves because ignorance isn’t an excuse – it’s an invitation to exploitation.

Introduction: (2 min)
• A deluge of data
• So many devices and growing

I have a dream: (5 min)
• Perceived benefits of IoT
• Improved efficiency, innovation, collaboration • We don’t know what we’re doing
• The dangers of upholding a Utopian ideal as reality • “The cost of breaches will be viewed like the toll taken by car crashes, which have not persuaded very many people not to drive.”

Defining IoT: (10 min)
• Our assumptions: what we think IoT is • What is and isn't IoT. Adding intelligence to devices that are normally “dumb”, enabling them to communicate without human involvement • Failure to inventory IoT devices because no centralized control over what IoT devices and applications are in the workplace • Me and My Shadow IoT
o An open invitation to Shadow IoT through increasing unmonitored, unsanctioned BYOD • Recent statistics on IoT cyberattacks on organizations o “82% of organizations that manufacture IoT devices are concerned that the devices they develop are not adequately secured from a cyberattack.” (Irdeto Global Connected Industries Cybersecurity Survey 2019) • Insecure third parties and Shadow IoT risks - what the party of your third party allows without your knowledge or consent • Different flavors – ET, IIoT, IoHT, OT Takeaways:
Attendees will understand what makes IoT/ET different from standard equipment we connect, and why we cannot secure them the same way. Attendees will be alerted to the ongoing and increasing risk of Shadow IT within their networks so they can take action on it

Understanding IoT Architecture: (5 min) • Sensors working overtime - Sensors and actuators connecting the digital and physical realms • Internet gateway
• The Edge
• Managing, securing and storing all the data • Communication architectures
• What is Enterprise Architecture
• Understanding IoT in the Enterprise
• Enterprise Architecture and IoT: How to build IoT into Enterprise Architecture

How IoT Attacks are Different: (5 min)
• A lack of awareness around the motivation, perpetrators, attacks • Different threat dynamic: industrial espionage, damage, destruction. • Geopolitics and the games nationstates play. After Stuxnet - Iran and Shamoon wiper malware. • Threat actors seek something more than just monetary gain. Triton destructive malware. • How sanctions drive retaliation. What could we expect in the current climate? Takeaway: Attendees will understand IoT/ET as a potential threat, who attackers are and how to evaluate what they have in place to improve their security It Only Takes One: Analysis of Attacks (15 min) • It only takes ONE exposed, misconfigured system to spread the infection. • Think ransomware: an increase in targeted ransomware attacks on industry in 2019 using LockerGoga and MegaCortex. Norsk Hydro • Think NotPetya. Targeted attack that spread from one laptop globally bringing Maersk down. • How cryptominers are increasingly leveraging exploits on critical vulnerabilities in enterprise realms and spreading via EternalBlue. Targets include Docker containers, and container escapes. • Compromised conference equipment. Examine the attack on Polycom HDX video conferencing systems. Thousands exposed externally, many more deployed internally. Polycom systems are linked to each other across different corporate offices globally. Takeaway: Attendees will be able to understand how an attack could be leveraged against IoT/ET in their enterprise environments

Making it Better: (5 min)
• IoT policy and compliance
• Strong authentication: what do we do better when we know that passwords and certs have failed us • Automating the identification of IoT – no more hide and seek • Network segmentation - it only works if we do it • Automatically securing IoT devices before something happens, not after • The need for Unified Endpoint Management over Enterprise Mobility Management.

Takeaways: Attendees will have recommendations to bring back they they can action within their environments for increased security posture

He is also the developer of the Hardware Firewall Bypass Kernel Driver (HWFWBypass), the Encrypted Browser Exploit Delivery tool (#IRONSQUIRREL) and the Sandbox tester tool to test Malware Analysis Sandboxes. He found and disclosed a vulnerability in IP cameras, and this vulnerability was exploited by the Persirai botnet, running on ˜600 000 cameras.
Twitter: @zh4ck

Description:
IoT vulnerability research usually involves both static and dynamic analysis of the target device. To aid in this task, researchers typically perform some sort of emulation to enumerate the filesystem as well as run the respective binaries. Luckily, there are tools like QEMU and/or Buildroot to guide our path on the way, but this does not mean the way is smooth.

Our main goal was to create a framework and documentation suitable for MIPS (LE/BE) device research, which can be used in a Dockerized environment to set up as many emulated IoT devices as desired. The goal was to create the least amount of pain and effort to set up the emulation infrastructure. This means, you will have a target MIPS architecture virtual machine running natively with all the binaries, full network stack, debugging tools, and other useful tools. Let the pwning begin!

Description:
Malware authors go to great lengths to bypass enterprise security to deliver malware, avoid detection after the initial intrusion and maintain persistence to compromise an organization. To achieve this, malware authors employ a wide variety of obfuscation and anti-analysis techniques at each phase of an attack. In this workshop, you will get hands-on with real-world malware and learn how to identify key indicators of compromise (IOCs)/indicators of attack (IOAs), apply analysis to enhance security products to protect users and infrastructure and gain a deeper understanding of malware behavior through reverse engineering.

This workshop will utilize open-source and limited use tools such as Ghidra, IDA Pro Free/Demo, Oledump/OleVBA, PE Studio, and Suricata to perform deep technical analysis of malware, focusing on developing effective strategies to maximize your time spent. By the end of this workshop, you will be able to analyze malicious office documents, identify signs of packing, defeat obfuscation and other anti-analysis techniques and use traffic analysis to aid in detection and identifying of prevalent malware families. These skills ultimately allow you to generate valuable threat intelligence to aid in your efforts to defend your organization or respond to an incident.

This is a fast-paced course designed to take you deep into malware operations – from delivery methods to payloads! Numerous labs will reinforce key learning objectives throughout the workshop and each lab comes with a detailed lab guide. Comprehensive analysis activities and exercises are used to to test and reaffirm key learning objectives and ensure attendees have a start-to-finish understanding of the material.

Attendees will be provided with all the lab material used throughout the course in a digital format. This includes all lab material, lab guides and virtual machines used for training. This workshop will also utilize several live classroom sharing resources, such as chat and notes to ensure that attendees have access to all material discussed throughout the training. All the material provided will help to ensure that students have the ability to continue learning well after the course ends and maximize the knowledge gained from this course.

Description:
Tool or Project Name: Mooltipass

Short Abstract: The Mooltipass project is a completely open-source ecosystem aimed at providing hardware-based authentication solutions. Its latest family member, the Mooltipass Mini BLE, features a dual microcontroller architecture aimed at separating the communications and security domains, together with an OLED screen and dedicated flash memories for credentials and graphics storage. The Mooltipass project is an ongoing 7-year adventure with contributors from around the globe. It has produced 3 hardware devices, multiple browser extensions, a cross-platform user interface and software daemon, an SSH agent and a python library.

He has been a writer for Hackaday and has a personal website filled with electronics projects.

URL to any additional information: https://github.com/mooltipass/minible

Detailed Explanation of Tool: The Mooltipass project is an authentication ecosystem centered around several open source devices, the Mooltipass Standard, Mini and BLE.

Among its many features, it offers:
Files, notes and credentials storage
FIDO2 (WebAuthn), TOTP and SSH support
Native credentials recall into browser login fields On-device language and security parameter customization Standalone credential typing using the device's standard USB or Bluetooth Keyboard HID channels Cross-platform tools allowing device database management and synchronization Its latest family addition, the Mini BLE, includes the following hardware features: A dual microcontroller architecture: the 'auxiliary' ATSAMD21E18 takes care of USB (HID, FIDO2, custom HID) and Bluetooth Low Energy (HID and custom HID) communications while the 'main' ATSAMD21G18 takes care of the rest. A dedicate hardware line for the main MCU to hard-disable BLE communications A 256x64x4bpp 2.08" OLED screen
A clickable scroll wheel for fast user interaction A smartcard connector to interface with secure elements storing the encryption keys A dedicated flash memory for graphics, strings and signed firmware updates A dedicated flash memory for users' encrypted databases Purpose-built charging electronics for the NiMH battery The firmware running on the ATSAMD21E18 and on ATSAMD21G18 was built from scratch, except the crypto routines which are from the open source BearSSL library, and the BLE features which are from the Atmel-proprietary library. The firmware provides the following features: A fully-fledged graphical library that handles compressed bitmaps and font rendering, using an internal frame buffer as needed A custom-made database model allowing storage of credentials, files, notes and WebAuthn secrets while still allowing ease-of-use features such as favorites A read-only file system library allowing fetching of graphical data, user-selected language strings, firmware updates and keyboard HID lookup tables A dedicated abstraction layer allowing the device to send unicode text using simulated key presses through BLE & USB HID, with support for dozens of keyboard layouts Graphical and database storage support of the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane Time based One Time Password (TOTP) and FIDO2 (WebAuthn) support On-device password generation and credential display To facilitate our development process and to allow device testing by everyone, we developed device emulators for Windows and Linux. These emulators also enable testing most of the Mooltipass ecosystem open-source software components:

  1. Moolticute, a Qt-based cross-platform software tool composed of a daemon & user interface allowing the user to: customize device behavior (more than 30 settings, requested by our beta testers and users of previous generations of the Mooltipass) manage, modify, import and export a user's database directly view and edit notes stored on the device upload and download files to and from the device manage FIDO2 credentials
  2. mc-agent, an SSH agent running on the OS side allowing password-less SSH authentication, written in Go
  3. mooltipy, a python library to recall credentials stored on the Mooltipass
  4. mc-cli, a command line tool written in Go to interact with the device

Supporting Files, Code, etc: https://github.com/mooltipass

Target Audience:
Hardware, Defense

How will you or your Demo Lab contribute a new perspective to the content at DEF CON? The Mooltipass project takes a fundamentally different approach from the commonly used software-based security solutions that require non-compromised systems to run on. We want to show that there are open source hardware solutions out there that do not sacrifice security for ease-of-use and while reducing the attack surface to a very strict minimum.


This content will be presented on a Discord video channel.

When: Saturday, Aug 7, 22:00 - 22:59 PDT
Where: Bally's Pool

SpeakerBio:Icetre Normal
Sometime in 1975, a fissure in the time-space continuum, allowed for only briefest of moments the possibility of time travel. A young iconoclast first born in 2275 took advantage of this brief opportunity.

He traveled with only his knowledge of the art of party creation, ability to bend space and time, and supreme skill of serving the masses with only the smallest pool of available alcohol.

First appearing at Defcon X, since then Icetre can always be found somehow making the impossible possible, and bringing the funk while doing so.

Z3Npi is the culmination of over 2 decades of writing, recording, and performing electronic music from many genres. Originally known as dj:devoid, Chris Schmidt has spent over half his life creating music and is bringing to bear the experience he’s gained to a new project. With Z3Npi, the concept is clear:

“Music is the glue that holds us togethers, it can heal our hearts and minds in ways that nothing else can”.

Collaboration is an important aspect of the Z3Npi sound, so you can expect a wide variety of featured artists in his catalog. More than anything music is best when it’s combined with performances that accentuate the sounds – Z3Npi delivers not just a unique recorded sound but performances that take the music to the next level.

Title: Music - Zebbler Encanti Experience
When: Sunday, Aug 8, 00:00 - 00:59 PDT
Where: Bally's Silver Ballroom

SpeakerBio:Zebbler Encanti Experience
Zebbler Encanti Experience (aka “ZEE”) is an audio/visual collaboration between video artist Zebbler and electronic music producer Encanti, based out of Boston, Massachusetts and Valencia, Spain. The Experience is an immersive performance of mapped visuals on three custom winged projection screens, synchronized with heavy peak-hour psychedelic bass music, resulting in the creation of a fantasy world for audiences to lose themselves in.

Zebbler Encanti Experience released a critically-acclaimed EP, End Trance, on standout bass label Wakaan, coupled with a performance at the inaugural Wakaan Festival. Coming out of the pandemic, ZEE released Syncorswim on longtime label Gravitas Recordings, which is a full audio-visual album exploring the ambient, glitchy, and IDM side of the project. Beautiful natural visuals accompany gorgeous, synth-heavy grooves. This different perspective gives fans a whole new look at what an A/V project can be.

ZEE have seen a considerable amount of road time in the last few years, serving as integral members of multiple tour teams. The architect behind the projection mapped projects for Shpongle and EOTO, and assisting with Infected Mushroom’s stage construction, Zebbler has toured the United States nonstop producing visual shows and performing as a VJ at hundreds of high profile events. In addition to ZEE performing as direct touring support for EOTO in venues throughout the country, and performing in the Shpongle Live band during their first few shows in the United States and final appearance at Red Rocks, Encanti has carved out some time to teach electronic music production to graduate students in the Valencia, Spain wing of Berklee College of Music.

SpeakerBio:Lennert Wouters
No BIO available

Description:
This talk covers a practical security evaluation of the Tesla Model X keyless entry system. We will cover the internal workings of the system, including the key fob, the body control module and the pairing protocol. Additionally, we detail our reverse engineering techniques and document several security issues. The identified issues in the key fob firmware update mechanism and the key fob pairing protocol allow us to bypass all of the cryptographic security measures put in place. Our proof-of-concept attack allows to unlock and start a Model X in a matter of minutes. The vulnerability in the key fob firmware update mechanism was fixed by Tesla using an OTA update.

This talk will stream on YouTube.

Title: New Face, Who Dis? Protecting Privacy in an Era of Surveillance
When: Friday, Aug 6, 10:00 - 10:59 PDT
Where: Crypto & Privacy Village (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Mike Kiser
Mike Kiser is insecure. He has been this way since birth, despite holding a panoply of industry positions over the past 20 years—from the Office of the CTO to Security Strategist to Security Analyst to Security Architect—that might imply otherwise. In spite of this, he has designed, directed, and advised on large-scale security deployments for a global clientele. He is currently in a long-term relationship with fine haberdashery, is a chronic chronoptimist (look it up), and delights in needlessly convoluted verbiage. He speaks regularly at events such as the European Identity Conference and the RSA Conference, is a member of several standards groups, and has presented identity-related research at Black Hat and Def Con. He is currently a Senior Identity Strategist for SailPoint Technologies.

Description:
While it has its potential benefits, facial recognition is eroding privacy and other human rights. Over the past year, several organizations have acknowledged that they have “scraped” social media and similar sites for photos to build their biometric databases, and photos intended for personal use only have now been potentially weaponized.

Industry and government have ethical responsibilities to prevent this, but what if there were a way to enhance privacy for individuals without waiting for the cavalry? Adversarial technology can provide a way to protect this biometric, but it must be as easy to use as picking up their mobile device and taking a photo.

We’ll cover the last year in adversarial research, examining the pros and cons of each and working towards the introduction of a new open-source mobile app, “Ruse," that seeks to use adversarial strategies to make personal photos less useful for commercial facial recognition systems while retaining a (relatively) low impact on human usefulness.

Title: New Phishing Attacks Exploiting OAuth Authentication Flows
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 16:00 - 16:45 PDT
Where: Track 1 Live; DCTV/Twitch #1 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:Jenko Hwong
Jenko Hwong is on the Netskope Threat Research team, focusing on cloud threats/vectors. He's spent time in engineering and product roles at various security startups in vulnerability scanning, AV/AS, pen-testing/exploits, L3/4 appliances, threat intel, and windows security.
Twitter: @jenkohwong

Description:
OAuth 2.0 device authentication gives users on limited-input devices like TVs an easier way to authenticate against a cloud website/app by entering a code on a computer/phone. This authentication flow leads to new phishing attacks that: - do not need server infrastructure--the login page is served by the authorization provider using their domain and cert - do not require a client application--application identities can be reused/spoofed - do not require user consent of application permissions

Since the phish attacks hijack oauth session tokens, MFA will be ineffective as the attacker does not need to reauthenticate. The ability to defend against these attacks is hindered by limited info and functionality to detect, mitigate, and prevent session token compromise.

I'll demonstrate these new phishing attacks, access to sensitive user data, and lateral movement.

Defensive measures against these phishing attacks will be discussed, specifically the challenges in detection, mitigation, and prevention, and the overall lack of support for managing temporary credentials.

Open-source tools have been developed and will be used to demonstrate how users can: - self-phish their organizations using these techniques - audit security settings that help prevent/mitigate the attacks

Description:
Since the late great Barnaby Jack gave us “Jack Potting” in the late 2000s, there have been several talks on ATM network attacks, USB port attacks, and digital locks attacks which apply to several brands of ATM safes. In this session, I’ll discuss and demonstrate how most of these known attack vectors have been remediated, while several fairly simple attacks against the machine and the safe still remain. We’ll dive into how ATMs work, the steps I went through to become a “licenced ATM operator” which enabled my research, and how I identified the vulnerabilities. I’ll show how, with very little technical expertise and 20 minutes, these attacks lead directly past “secure” and allow attackers to collect a lot more than $200.

Title: Not so Passive: Vehicle Identification and Tracking via Passive Keyless Entry
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 12:00 - 12:59 PDT
Where: Car Hacking Village - Talks (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Nick Ashworth
No BIO available
Twitter: @zeetw11

Description:
Attacks on the passive keyless entry system have been around for a while, with most focused on gaining physical access to the vehicle. We have developed a new attack, Marco, that instead focuses on identifying and tracking vehicles by exploiting weaknesses in passive keyless entry systems. This attack works similar to a cooperative radar system, where the attacker transmits an interrogation message, and any nearby key fob will automatically respond. The attacker can then use these responses to identify and track key fobs either generically, such as all fobs of the same make and model of vehicle, or specifically, such as a key fob with a specific identifier.

This talk will stream on YouTube.

Description:
For decades, the EICAR test string has been used by antivirus and security vendors to safely test their detection engines without having to use live virulent samples which could cause harm. What would happen if you took that string, encoded it into a machine readable format like a QR code and started scanning various devices with the QR code? This talk shows how there are a lot of systems out there that aren't expecting an input string like EICAR and how many of them just collapse when shown the code. We will also discuss the types of systems you can target and how you may be able to extend this to more than a nuisance attack.

A huge fan of OSS projects, Wes loves to solve problems and enhance security using completely free and easily deployable tools.
Twitter: @therealwlambert

Description:
It's been said that 94% of enterprises already use a cloud service, and that 30% of all IT budgets are allocated to cloud computing. What does this mean for network defenders? It means that many organizations are invested in the cloud, and unfortunately, many organizations still have little visibility into inter-instance, instance-to-internet, and control plane activity, as well as management functions and bucket access within the cloud. While some of this activity may be logged, it may not be analyzed or aggregated for quick review. In this workshop, we'll cover how Security Onion, a completely free and open platform for intrusion detection, enterprise security monitoring, and log management can be leveraged to increase visibility in the cloud. By using Security Onion, defenders can facilitate effective threat detection and ease compliance efforts. Attendees should walk away with an understanding of how they can utilize Security Onion to find evil in their cloud environments and make their adversaries cry. Outline:

Title: Open Bridge
When: Friday, Aug 6, 14:00 - 15:50 PDT
Where: Palace 1+2

SpeakerBio:Constantine Macris
No BIO available

Description:
Tool or Project Name: Open Bridge Simulator

Short Abstract:
Open Bridge Simulator provides a platform to explore the NMEA 2000 protocol, maritime electronics and CAN interfaces in a cost effective (under $50) software/hardware suite.

Short Developer Bio:
Constantine is an instructor at the US Coast Guard Academy where he teaches Cyber Systems. On the side he breaks things...

URL to any additional information: https://github.com/thedini/openBridge

Detailed Explanation of Tool:
Over the years I have built various tools that pull data from and put data on the NMEA 2000 maritime electronics bus. From talking boats (Twitter @CES_bigAl) to a network of connected recreational vessels. It was always a struggle because of the somewhat obscure nature of the application (boats/yachts/ships) and the difficulty and cost in obtaining hardware and tools to learn about the systems. Open Bridge Simulator is an open source project (software and eventually hardware) that aims to make this process more cost effective and obtainable to individuals without $10,000 laying around to purchase expensive maritime electronics.

The demo lab will involve:
Reviewing the NMEA 2000 protocol
Seeing the simulator and estimated cost of the system produced by the US Coast Guard Academy Capstone team ( an example of an expensive solution) Reviewing the architecture of a standard NMEA 2000 network (with live devices) The traditional means of interacting with the NEMA 2000 network An introduction and demo of the Open Bridge Simulator software and hardware I also intend to cover some of the challenges we faced in developing this project as well as ways we can work together to make learning about NMEA 2000 more inclusive.

The general project will be using off the shelf hardware (Teensy 4.1, WCMCU-230 Can Transceiver) to interface with Docker containers that simulate different marine electronics so a user with less than $50 in hardware can simulate an entire bridge system on almost any computer. The project is designed to be a framework to allow individuals to share the devices they build and create a library of bridge systems that can be connected to simulate industry accurate systems.

This project can stand alone or interface with an existing system and can act as an educational tool, defense and simulation tool or prove out attacks.

The overall goal of Open Bridge Simulator is to make playing with NMEA 2000 easier!

Target Audience: Hardware, Education, Defense

The purpose of this project is to make learning and playing with NMEA2000 more reasonable and affordable for beginners and those without access to expensive hardware (like GPS head units). I think that reducing the cost and barrier to entry will bring more people into the space and shine a light onto a somewhat obscure and difficult area to get started.

When: Friday, Aug 6, 14:30 - 14:59 PDT
Where: Biohacking Village (Talk - Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Alex Hoekstra
No BIO available

Description:
Vaccine development has traditionally been an expensive and thus primarily proprietary endeavor. Tools to decrease costs, increase adaptability, speed of production, speed of testing, and expand access to could help increase participation, collaboration, innovation, infectious disease biosecurity, and equity in vaccine development and ultimately vaccine deployment globally. Open-Source VDKs could fill a vital and underserved niche in the ecosystem or vaccine development.

RaDVaC is building tools to increase participation in vaccine development. Key features of a useful vaccine developer kit (VDK) include technical specs for vaccine candidate design, production, testing, adaptation, and collaboration. The ecosystem of vaccine development is weaker for a lack of open-source toolkits (open-source infrastructure is an investment in anti-fragility).

Description:
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) have become the punching bags of the security world. Attackers employ sophisticated techniques to circumvent these controls and as a result, there has been a driving need for defenders to detect and prevent these attacks... but are they sufficient? This talk will go over all the operational considerations and tradecraft theory I've developed over the past few years when evading EDRs and other endpoint controls. This will primarily focus on techniques to ensure command and controls servers are not easily detected and contain virtually no Indicators of Compromise. This talk will then deep dive into the inner workings of the EDR bypassing framework ScareCrow,highlighting some of the lesser-known techniques and new features that are available to red teamers and pentesters. By the end of this talk, the audience should walk away with a detailed understanding of how to use ScareCrow and other opsec considerations to avoid being detected by endpoint controls and blue teams.

Adversary Village talks and workshops will be streamed on YouTube and Twitch.

Q&A sessions will happen in DEF CON Official Discord server after each talk.

Title: Over-the-air remote code execution on the DEF CON 27 badge via Near Field Magnetic Inductance or World’s first NFMI exploitation, sorta or OTARCEDC27NFMIOMGWTFBBQ
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 14:00 - 14:45 PDT
Where: Track 2 Live; DCTV/Twitch #2 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:Seth Kintigh
Seth Kintigh learned to program at age 12 on an IBM PC jr and his grandmother taught him how to crack ciphers. His first hack was to get infinite lives and beat the Atari 2600 game Solaris. He earned a BS EE with minors in CS and physics and a MS EE with concentration in cryptography and information security from WPI. He worked 6 years as a hardware engineer and 17 in security. Hobbies include cracking historical ciphers and restoring a Victorian home

Description:
The DEF CON 27 badge employed an obscure form of wireless communication: Near Field Magnetic Inductance (NFMI). The badges were part of a contest and while poking through the firmware for hints I noticed a buffer overflow flaw. All it required to exploit it was an oversized packet… via a chip with no datasheet and no documentation on the proprietary protocol. Thus started a 2 year odyssey.

I used Software Defined Radio tools to study the signal’s modulations. I built a receiver in GNURadio and Python to convert signals into symbols, symbols obfuscated by a pattern that I had to deduce while only controlling a fraction of the bytes. Data was encoded in those symbols using proprietary convolution for even bits and Trellis Code Modulation for odd bits. I then reversed their bizarre CRC and wrote tools to craft and send packets. Using those tools I chained bugs in 2 chips and remotely crashed the badge. However, limitations in the NFMI protocol made more sophisticated attacks impossible.

But after a year and a half invested, I was not about to give up. I soldered leads to middle layer traces, extracted and reverse engineered the NFMI firmware, fixed their protocol, and patched a badge FW to patch the NFMI FW. At long last I achieved what may be the world’s first, over-the-air, remote code exploit via NFMI.

Title: ParseAndC
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 14:00 - 15:50 PDT
Where: DemoLab Video Channel 1

SpeakerBio:Parbati Kumar Manna
Parbati Kumar Manna got his Bachelor of Technology from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur in 1997. After spending a bit of time in the software industry, he went back to school to earn his MS and PhD in Computer Science from University of Florida in 2008. His dissertation involved the creation and detection of some of the smartest malware (particularly internet worms) that leave minimal footprint during their spread yet propagate at the maximal speed. After his PhD he joined the premier security group within Intel, working with other like-minded security researchers looking over the security of various Intel products, including hardware, firmware and software. He has published and reviewed in eminent conferences and journals.

Description:
ParseAndC - A Universal Parser and Data Visualization Tool for Security Testing

Short Abstract:
Parsing is the process of extracting the data values of various fields by mapping the data format (known) onto the datastream (known) from a certain offset (known). Parsing is often an integral part of hacking - even when we do not know the exact format of the data, we still have some vague idea, and we want to parse the data based on our assumed data format to see if our hunch is true. While it is trivial to write a parser that will output the values corresponding to the fields of a single C structure, that parser becomes useless if now we have to deal with a different C structure. A parser that can handle any and all C structures as its input is essentially a compiler, since even C header files contain enough complexity (#define constants, macros calling macros, variadic macros, conditional code via if-else etc., included files, packed/aligned attributes, pragmas, bitfield, complex variable declarations, nested and anonymous structure declaration etc.). This tool is capable of mapping any C structure(s) to any datastream from any offset, and then visually displaying the 1:1 correspondence between the variables and the data in a very colorful, intuitive display so that it becomes very easy to understand which field has what value.

This tool is extremely portable - it is a single 800KB Python text file, supports all versions of Python, is cross-platform (Windows/Mac/Unix), and also works in the terminal /batch mode without GUI. For multi-byte datatypes (e.g. integer or float) it supports both endianness (little/big) and displays value in both decimal and Hex formats. The tool needs no internet connection and works fully offline. It is self-contained - it doesn't import almost anything, to the extent that it implements its own C compiler (front-end) from scratch!!

This tool is useful for both security- and non-security testing alike (reverse engineering, network traffic analyzing, packet processing etc.). It is currently being widely used at Intel, and in the users' own words, this tool has reduced their days' work into minutes. The author of this tool led many security hackathons at Intel and there this tool was found to be very useful.

Short Developer Bio:
Parbati Kumar Manna got his Bachelor of Technology from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur in 1997. After spending a bit of time in the software industry, he went back to school to earn his MS and PhD in Computer Science from University of Florida in 2008. His dissertation involved the creation and detection of some of the smartest malware (particularly internet worms) that leave minimal footprint during their spread yet propagate at the maximal speed. After his PhD he joined the premier security group within Intel, working with other like-minded security researchers looking over the security of various Intel products, including hardware, firmware and software. He has published and reviewed in eminent conferences and journals.

URL to any additional information:
The tool has just been open-sourced, but no public announcement has been made (don't want to steal the thunder from DEFCON) https://github.com/intel/ParseAndC

Detailed Explanation of Tool:
If one knows the data format of any datastream (basically, if you have access to the source code), parsing is easy since it takes <5 minutes to write a parser for a C structure. However, if one's job involves looking at many different datastreams, each with a different data format (basically, a different C structure), then this process becomes very tedious as you have to write a fresh parser for every new structure. As part of the Intel's in-house core hacking team, this author faced this very problem where he had to parse many different datastreams based on their individual data formats. So, to rid himself of the trouble of writing a new parser every time, he chose to write a tool that can parse any datastream with any data format (a C structure) with just two clicks.

The other big problem that this tool handles is the data visualization. The problem is, not every time we have a 1:1 mapping between code and data - we can have one-to-many relationship (for arrays), and can have many-to-one relationship (many union members pointing to same chunk of data). For example, if we have a single line of code like int a[30][40][50];, suddenly for a single line of code we have sixty thousand chucks of 4-byte data. This tool handles these many-to-one and one-to-many relationships between code and data very gracefully (just try hovering your cursor over the variables in the Interpreted code window or the data windows, and you will see). Also, if you double-click on any variable, it will re-display the datastream centered around the place where the variable maps to. Similarly, if you double-click on any data byte, it will scroll the Interpreted code window to pinpoint to the variable(s) that map to that data.

You can see all that just by clicking the "Run Demo" button on the tool. :-)

Supporting Files, Code, etc:
The tools needs no supporting file to run. To show its capability, just run the Demo (see below how). There is a huge README explaining everything right at the top of the script itself (the same README is also available in the Open Source repo https://github.com/intel/ParseAndC), but in case you don't have time to read that, below is a TL;DR version.

Just download the tool source (a single Python file) anywhere (Windows/Linux/Mac), run it using Python 2 or 3, and click on the "Run Demo" button on top right corner. It will load a datafile (the tool script itself), choose a builtin data format (expressed via C structures and variable declarations), compile/Interpret that code and finally map the variables in the data format onto the data file. Once this happens, the Interpreted code window and the Data window will contain colorful items. Just hover your cursor over those colorful items (or double-click) and see the magic happen!

There is also a bottom window which lays out a Tree-like view of the data format. You can expand/collapse all the structures and arrays in the data format here using left/right arrows (or mouse click).

It also creates a snapshot.csv file with all the data format variables with their values. It also prints the same in the background (console).

The tool is currently in Beta stage (a lot of new features have been added lately), but it will absolutely be mature during the actual conference time.

Target Audience:
The target audience for this tool is pretty broad - it involves both White Hat and Black Hat researchers alike. Basically, anybody who tests C programs, or reverse engineers any datastream produced from a C program will find this tool extremely useful. Examples of actual usage of this tool are noted below.

White Hat Testing (has access to source code): At Intel, of course we have access to our own source code, so we do not need to speculate about the data format of Intel products. In Intel, this tool has found its wide usage in driver testing, network packet analyzing, firmware reversing etc. where the testers use this tool to confirm that we are indeed observing the intended value in the datastream.

Black Hat Testing (no access to source code): An example of how this tool is useful for even Black Hat hackers is as follows. Suppose you believe that a certain executable or datastream should begin with a certain magic number, followed by version number, followed by a header, followed by data etc. So, you can just write a C structure corresponding to your "hunch", and then use this tool to map that hypothetical structure onto the datastream to see if the values corresponding to the fields "make sense" visually. This is where the visualization part of this tool comes as immensely useful - you can hover your cursor on top of any variable and see its corresponding data value, or hover your cursor over any data byte and see its corresponding variable(s). If some of the supposed fields in the structure make sense but others do not, you know for which fields you have hit the jackpot, and for which you didn't. So, you modify your structure accordingly and just two more clicks will give you the new visualization of the mapped data with the new structure. This way, you can use this tool iteratively to figure out the format of the datastream.

To summarize, this is a tool that has been widely used at Intel for both security testing and regular non-security testing for the last two years.

This tool, per se, is not targeted ONLY for security, but it has been proven to be extremely useful for security research (just like the case of a binary disassembler).

For the past couple of years, it has been used at Intel for both kinds of testers: Security researchers and regular non-security folks. Both groups of people found the tool to be extremely useful.

To the best of the author's knowledge, no such hacking tool currently exists. Thus, this tool can definitely contribute to a new perspective to DEF CON.

Description:
Phantom attack is a collection of attacks that evade Linux system call monitoring. A user mode program does not need any special privileges or capabilities to reliably evade system call monitoring using Phantom attack by exploiting insecure tracing implementations.

After adversaries gain an initial foothold on a Linux system, they typically perform post-exploitation activities such as reconnaissance, execution, privilege escalation, persistence, etc. It is extremely difficult if not impossible to perform any non-trivial adversarial activities without using Linux system calls.

Security monitoring solutions on Linux endpoints typically offer system call monitoring to effectively detect attacks. Modern solutions often use either ebpf-based programs or kernel modules to monitor system calls through tracepoint and/or kprobe. Any adversary operations including abnormal and/or suspicious system calls reveal additional information to the defenders and can trigger detection alerts.

We will explain the generic nature of the vulnerabilities exploited by Phantom attack. We will demonstrate Phantom attack on two popular open source Linux system call monitoring solutions Falco (Sysdig) and Tracee (Aquasecurity). We will also explain the differences between Phantom v1 and v2 attacks. Finally, we will discuss mitigations for Phantom attack and secure tracing in the broader context beyond system call tracing.

Title: Phish Like An APT
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 15:45 - 16:30 PDT
Where: Adversary Village (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Sanne Maasakkers , Security Expert, Fox-IT
Sanne Maasakkers works as a security expert in the Red Team and Strategic Threat Intelligence team at Fox-IT in the Netherlands. Next to her focus on pentesting and threat analysis (which was recently demonstrated by ‘being’ the attacking APT during the biggest Dutch cyber crisis exercise), she loves to perform social engineering attacks and has a strong expertise on getting initial access by using this technique. In addition to her work, she contributes to "a more secure society" by providing awareness training, guest lectures and hack demos in both professional and educational environments and as team captain of the European team during the International Cyber Security Challenge (ICSC).
https://nl.linkedin.com/in/sannemaasakkers/

Description:
Have you ever wondered what phishing strategy real world APTs use? And how these compare with the scenarios that you use during your Red Team / social engineering activities? If you did, you probably found out that there's a lot of research about APT techniques, tactics and procedures, like the use of specific malware or attack vectors, but there are not many public resources on which techniques those attackers actually use to convince a non-suspecting person to aid them in their operation. In this talk an analysis is presented of hundreds of phishing emails that were used in real campaigns. All characteristics of an email, like the method of influence, tone of speech and used technologies are classified and measures how well a phishing campaign is designed, scoring from “obvious spam” to “near-realistic original mail”. By comparing and measuring the state of these phishing emails,we can learn more about how certain groups operate and how much “effort” they put into their scenarios. This is important knowledge for both attackers and defenders. If you want to know how to phish like you’re an APT, then this talk is for you. Spoiler alert: you might already be a better phisher than these groups.

Adversary Village talks and workshops will be streamed on YouTube and Twitch.

Q&A sessions will happen in DEF CON Official Discord server after each talk.

Title: Piecing Together Your Personal Privacy Profile
When: Friday, Aug 6, 16:30 - 17:30 PDT
Where: Crypto & Privacy Village (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Margaret Fero
Margaret leads security at a small startup, and loves information security, learning and education, and interdisciplinary connections. Before transitioning to a career in security, Margaret was a Technical Writer and independent security researcher. Margaret has spoken at conferences including ToorCon, Write The Docs Day: Australia, the O'Reilly Open Source Convention (OSCON), and Abstractions II.

Description:
In finance, analysts combine seemingly-insignificant information to constitute useful information that a company didn’t intend to reveal. This is called mosaic theory. This talk applies the concepts of mosaic theory to a personal privacy audit.

Many details, like those you might post to social media or include on a public resume, can be combined to deduce significant aspects of your private data. Small divergences from your usual patterns can, when combined together, also reveal information that you may not intend to disclose. Often, this information includes your physical location, vacation dates, or current employer.

After this talk, you should be able to apply the concepts of mosaic theory to evaluate the data that is publicly available about you, including combinations of small details that you may have considered insignificant on their own.

Description:
A brute force attack is a trial-and-error method used to obtain information such as user passwords or personal identification numbers (PINs). This attack methodology should be impossible to apply to the actual secured EMV bank cards. In this talk, we will analyze how an inadequate implementation could rely on an extreme and sophisticated PIN brute force attack against 10,000 combinations from 4 digit PIN that could affect millions of contact EMV cards.

Title: Playing God: How ambiguities in state and federal breach notification laws give lawyers too much discretion in deciding whether or not to disclose potential data breaches
When: Friday, Aug 6, 14:00 - 14:45 PDT
Where: Crypto & Privacy Village (Virtual)
Speakers:Anthony Hendricks,Jordan Sessler

SpeakerBio:Anthony Hendricks
Anthony Hendricks is an attorney who advises clients as the chair of Crowe & Dunlevy’s Cybersecurity & Data Privacy Practice Group. In that role, he frequently analyzes and litigates legal issues related to IoT devices. Prior to beginning his practice, he studied as Howard University's first Marshall Scholar and later graduated from Harvard Law School. He now teaches cybersecurity law as an adjunct professor at Oklahoma City University School of Law.

SpeakerBio:Jordan Sessler
Jordan Sessler is an attorney who advises clients on data security as a member of Crowe & Dunlevy’s Cybersecurity & Data Privacy Practice Group. In that role, he regularly engages with legal issues related to IoT devices and has represented companies in disputes with law enforcement regarding the discoverability of user- and device-generated data. Prior to beginning his practice, he graduated from Harvard Law School and clerked for U.S. District Court Judge D.P. Marshall Jr.

Description:
There is often ambiguity as to whether a security incident qualifies as a data breach and, thus, needs to be reported to authorities or disclosed to affected individuals. This means that, despite efforts to pass breach notification laws in all fifty states, there is little consistency in what actually gets reported and disclosed. Some companies disclose data breaches where there is no evidence of data access, while others decline to do so even when there is a substantial possibility of access. Under current law, both courses of action are generally acceptable given latent ambiguity in what triggers a “reasonable belief” that data has been accessed or acquired by an unauthorized party. However, this legal grey area often leaves individual lawyers to make a massive ethical decision: does our client need to tell you that your data may have been stolen, even when the law does not necessarily require that they do so?

Title: PMapper
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 10:00 - 11:50 PDT
Where: Palace 1+2

SpeakerBio:Erik Steringer
Erik Steringer is a Senior Security Consultant with NCC Group.

Description:
Tool or Project Name: Principal Mapper (PMapper) - Mapping Privilege Escalation and More in AWS IAM

Short Abstract:
Principal Mapper (PMapper) is an open-source tool and library for assessing AWS IAM and AWS Organizations for security concerns, such as privilege escalation and resource isolation. It tracks and identifies the different ways that one given IAM User/Role (Principal) could pivot to other IAM Users or Roles by reviewing all applicable IAM Policies. After gathering this data, PMapper can perform additional analysis, querying, and visualization.

The querying and analysis systems of PMapper goes beyond checking if a principal is authorized to make a specific AWS API call. It will check if the principal can go through other principals to make a specified AWS API call. In a real-world example: if a user is not authorized to get an S3 object, PMapper also checks if the user can run an EC2 instance with a role as a means of bypassing that restriction. This means that PMapper tells you the effective permissions of each IAM User and Role, and the impact of the extra access you may inadvertently grant to those principals.

Short Developer Bio:
Erik Steringer is a Senior Security Consultant with NCC Group.

URL to any additional information:
https://github.com/nccgroup/PMapper/wiki

Detailed Explanation of Tool:
PMapper is a free and open source project written in Python 3. The v1.1.X release added support for resource policies, SCPs, permission boundaries, and session policies, which means it now works for cross-account scenarios. Additionally, it can now map and handle AWS Organizations.

At a high level, the different operations of PMapper include gathering data (account or organization), querying, analysis, and visualization. All work typically starts with gathering data. When gathering an account's data, PMapper composes a graph to represent the account. The graph includes different IAM Users/Roles, represented as nodes. The graph also tracks how nodes can access each other, as edges. One example of an edge is when a principal can call sts:AssumeRole to access an IAM Role.

The account graph is used by the query component. During all queries, PMapper checks the specified principal and then other principals that can be pivoted to by the specified principal. This catches risks where a given user or role can bypass their own limited permissions with other users or roles. This is also the root of the privilege escalation detection. The different users and roles are marked as administrators if they can effectively call any API operation with any resource, and the privilege escalation detection finds non admins that can pivot to admins through an edge.

The authorization simulator of PMapper runs completely locally, with no calls to the AWS IAM Policy Simulation APIs. It can handle the most complex types of IAM Policies, and other types of policies that even the simulation APIs don’t include (SCPs, Session Policies).

The graph data, query component, and underlying authorization simulator enable PMapper to catch risks that other tools (ScoutSuite, awspx, Cartography, Aaia, CloudMapper, AWS IAM Access Analyzer) cannot. A lot of those risks are covered with the analysis component of PMapper. It can also be extended through the `principalmapper` package to check for even more specific needs.

Supporting Files, Code, etc:
https://github.com/nccgroup/PMapper

Target Audience:
Defense, Cloud

As a consultant, I’ve had the opportunity to work in a variety of AWS environments across a range of clients and requirements. I think PMapper reflects a lot of the lessons learned during these last few years. Some of the recent work I’ve put into PMapper helps show where I think the future is (infrastructure as code analysis) for tools in this space.

Title: Policy Debrief - Global Cyber Capacity Building - triple challenge or triple opportunity?
When: Friday, Aug 6, 14:30 - 15:30 PDT
Where: Policy (Onsite - SkyView 5/6)

Description:
One thing government worldwide agree upon is that raising defenses helps us all, but also that poorer countries need a lot of help to do so. In recent years the term “cyber capacity building” (CCB) has been used to describe large-scale development assistance programs that help build CERTs, train infosec professionals, but also educate on global cybersecurity issues. Often hackers from DEF CON can find themselves offered lucrative engagements in e.g. the Balkans or Sub-Saharan Africa towards this end. But are programs really global, or more a new type of big power competition? How much can they really deliver both for those societies, but also the rest of the world? And what is the best way to get involved?

LOCATION TBD

It seems like everyone's talking about Section 230 these days, and keen to change it, without really knowing what it says and does. Don't let this happen to you! Come to this crash course in Section 230 given by Cathy Gellis, a lawyer who regularly litigates (and pontificates) about the statute to learn the truth about this crucial law that enables our online world. We'll talk about why we have Section 230, what it does, why it works, its relationship with the First Amendment, and some of the common misperceptions about it, including why getting rid of it might not make the Internet any better (and will probably make it worse).

Description:
Microsoft Exchange Server is an email solution widely deployed within government and enterprises, and it is an integral part of both their daily operations and security. Needless to say, vulnerabilities in Exchange have long been the Holy Grail for attackers, hence our security research on Exchange. Surprisingly, we’ve found not only critical vulnerabilities such as ProxyLogon, but a whole new attack surface of Exchange.

This new attack surface is based on a significant change in Exchange Server 2013, where the fundamental protocol handler, Client Access Service (CAS), splits into frontend and backend. In this fundamental change of architecture, quite an amount of design debt was incurred, and, even worse, it introduced inconsistencies between contexts, leading us to discover this new attack surface.

To unveil the beauty of this attack surface and our novel exploitation, we’ll start by analyzing this architecture, followed by 7 vulnerabilities that consist of server-side bugs, client-side bugs, and crypto bugs found via this attack surface. In the end, these vulnerabilities are chained into 3 attack vectors that shine in different attack scenarios: ProxyLogon, ProxyShell, and ProxyOracle. These attack vectors enable any unauthenticated attacker to uncover plaintext passwords and even execute arbitrary code on Microsoft Exchange Servers through port 443, which is exposed to the Internet by ~400K Exchange Servers.

This attack surface has its unparalleled impact for a reason: security researchers tend to find vulnerabilities from a certain perspective, such as digging for memory bugs, injections, or logic flaws, but we took a different approach by looking at Exchange from a high-level architectural view and captured this architecture-level attack surface, which yielded multiple vulnerabilities. We hope this brings a new paradigm to vulnerability research and inspires more security researchers to look into Exchange Server. Last but not least, we’ll provide hardening actions to mitigate such types of 0days in Exchange.

Description:
We've been getting asked a lot for "that tool that was like Shodan but for web app vulns.” In particular WTF happened to it? Punkspider (formerly known as PunkSPIDER but renamed because none of us could remember where tf the capital letters go) was taken down a couple of years ago due to multiple ToS issues and threats. It was originally funded by DARPA. We weren’t sure in which direction to keep expanding, and it ended up being a nightmare to sustain. We got banned more than a 15 year old with a fake ID trying to get into a bar. It became a pain and hardly sustainable without a lot of investment in time and money. Each time we got banned it meant thousands of dollars and countless hours moving sh** around.

Now we’ve solved our problems and completely re-engineered/expanded the system. It is not only far more efficient with real-time distributed computing and checks for way more vulns, we had to take some creative ways through the woods – this presentation covers both the tool itself and the story of the path we had to take to get where it is, spoiler alert: it involves creating our own ISP and data center in Canada and integrating freely available data that anyone can get but most don’t know is available. Come play with us and see what the wild west of the web looks like and listen to our story, it’s fun and full of angry web developers. We’ll also be releasing at least 10s of thousands of vulnerabilities and will be taking suggestions from the audience on what to search. Fun vulns found get a t-shirt, super fun ones get a hoodie thrown at them.

Offensive testing in organizations has shown a tremendous value for simulating controlled attacks. While cyber extortion may be one of the main high ROI end goals for the attacker, surprisingly few tools exist to simulate ransomware operations.

Racketeer is one such tool. It is an offensive agent coupled with a C2 base, built to help teams to prototype and exercise a tightly controlled ransomware campaign.

We walk through the design considerations and implementation of a ransomware implant which emulates logical steps taken to manage connectivity and asset encryption and decryption capabilities. We showcase flexible and actionable ways to prototype components of fully remote ransomware operation including key and data management, as well as data communication that is used in ransomware campaigns.

Racketeer is equipped with practical safeguards for lights out operations, and can address the goals of keeping strict control of data and key management in its deployment, including target containment policy, safe credential management, and implementing operational security in simulated operations.

Racketeer can help gain better optics into IoCs, and is helpful in providing detailed logs that can be used to study the behavior and execution artifacts of a ransomware agent.

Description:
Often when it comes Medical Devices and Healthcare everyone has an opinion. Ever wonder why there is such a difference of opinion. Deep diving into the context and perspective of the various teams involved in the manufacturing, attacking, and defending of medical devices. We explore and discuss why these opinions are different and how we can better communicate our perspective to one another. This talk explores the complexity and constraints that each team faces and how if the silos are broken down it makes for a more collaborative understanding and coming full circle. Often you will that it is Red versus Blue then versus Green. We work against each other rather than coming full circle logically and openly discussing problems in this space. The main theme of this talk is that differences in opinions are often needed to solve complex problems. Let’s face it the secure manufacturing and implementation of these devices is a complex problem. Lifting the veil of problems that each of these team’s face.

All Biohacking Village talks will be streamed to YouTube.

Title: Remote Adversarial Phantom Attacks against Tesla and Mobileye
When: Friday, Aug 6, 15:00 - 15:59 PDT
Where: Car Hacking Village - Talks (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Ben Nassi
Ben Nassi (Twitter: @ben_nassi) is a security researcher. He specializes in security of autonomous vehicles and IoT devices.
Twitter: @ben_nassi

Description:
In this talk, we present "split-second phantom attacks," a scientific gap that causes two commercial advanced driver-assistance systems (ADASs), Telsa Model X (HW 2.5 and HW 3) and Mobileye 630, to treat a depthless object that appears for a few milliseconds as a real obstacle/object.

We discuss the challenge that split-second phantom attacks create for ADASs. We demonstrate how attackers can apply split-second phantom attacks remotely by embedding phantom road signs into an advertisement presented on a digital billboard which causes Tesla’s autopilot to suddenly stop the car in the middle of a road and Mobileye 630 to issue false notifications. We also demonstrate how attackers can use a projector in order to cause Tesla’s autopilot to apply the brakes in response to a phantom of a pedestrian that was projected on the road and Mobileye 630 to issue false notifications in response to a projected road sign. This talk will stream on YouTube.

Description:
In recent years the emergence of a new security threat to the electric vehicle charging ecosystem. How safely and easily charge electric vehicles, is deeply impacting the way people travel. Therefore we conducted an in-depth security analysis for the EV charging stations from Schneider Electric.

In this talk, we'll present 3 vulnerabilities (CVE-2021-22706; CVE-2021-22707, and CVE-2021-22708) which we found in Schneider Electric's EVLink Charging System. We'll start by explaining the architecture; components, and protocols involved in such a system. Then we'll walk through step by step how do we found an RCE Vulnerability from it.

We will be diving into the journey of reverse engineering EVLink Charging station. Start from firmware acquisition, and the various challenges of exploiting EVLink. We'll explain the details of how do we overcome these limits, and show how our payloads manipulate the system in order to get a reverse shell with Root privilege. Finally, we'll present a video demo of exploiting the vulnerability.

This talk will stream on YouTube.

Tool or Project Name reNgine: An automated reconnaissance engine(framework)

Short Abstract: reNgine is an automated reconnaissance engine(framework) that is capable of performing end-to-end reconnaissance with the help of highly configurable scan engines on web application targets. reNgine makes use of various open-source tools and makes a highly configurable pipeline of reconnaissance to gather the recon result.reNgine also makes it possible for users to choose the tools they desire while following the same reconnaissance pipeline, example - with reNgine you aren't limited to using sublist3r for subdomains discovery, rather reNgine allows you to combine multiple tools like sublist3r, subfinder, assetfinder, and easily integrate them into your reconnaissance pipeline. The reconnaissance results are then displayed in a beautiful and structured UI after performing the co-relation in the results produced by these various tools. The developers behind reNgine understand that recon result most often is overwhelming due to the humongous data, so that’s why reNgine also comes with advanced query lookup using natural language operators like and, or and not. Imagine, doing recon on facebook.com and filtering the results like http_status!404&page_title=admin|page_title=dashbo ard&content_length>0&tech=phporseverity=critical|severity=high&vulnerability_titl e=xss|vulerability_title=cve-1234-xxxxreNgine’s flexibility to easily incorporate any existing open-source tools and with advanced features like configurable scan engines, parallel scans, advanced query lookup on recon results, instant notification about the scan, scheduled scans, etc, separates reNgine from any other recon frameworks. reNgine can be used for both reconnaissance and actively monitoring the targets.URL to any additional information: Official Documentation: https://rengine.wiki reNgine v0.5 Major Update with Vulnerability Scan and Advanced recon Lookup Trailer and Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSOS_dkorBMreNgine release Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8_Z2-3-o2MreNgine Development Timeline Video Trailer: https://www.facebook.com/10000176436...1638639238246/reNgine featured on Portswigger’s The daily Swig: https://portswigger.net/daily-swig/r...or-pen-testers reNgine community review: https://twitter.com/Jhaddix/status/1286547230078275585 https://twitter.com/ITSecurityguard/...58400926543879 https://twitter.com/ojhayogesh11/sta...21166811471872 https://twitter.com/search?q=https%3...rc=typed_query

Detailed Explanation of Tool: reNgine is an advanced reconnaissance framework for web application targets that uses various existing open-source tools to achieve this. The idea for reNgine came when I was bored during the lockdown and had nothing better to do. Back then I was working as a Security Analyst and my day job was to perform penetration testing on web applications. While I enjoyed my job, I hated performing recon on these targets because in almost all the cases the recon steps were pretty similar. Except for certain cases, the recon steps I read, I performed, I saw others doing, were very similar. Same usage of tools, same usage of options/parameters/tuning. But I was bored with this recon methodology because, at times I needed the recon results to be saved in a structured way, come back the next day, and still do the analysis without wasting my yet another day on recon.

Also, since I had a day job, I used to do bug bounty during the night, and obviously, my office would fire me right away if I performed recon on bug bounty targets during my office hours, so also was looking for something that could help me schedule the scans on those targets, something like performing a scan every midnight, or lineup 100 scans on the pipeline and scan these targets one step at a time.

The recon results are very humongous on larger targets, and very difficult to search or find the specific results quickly. This was due to the reason that existing frameworks (open-source) had no ability to store the results on DB, almost all used text as output, and obviously, this wasn’t going to be helpful unless you write extremely complex greps. So, I went on to create one for myself and named it reNgine, abbreviated for reconnaissance engine. Why Engine? It is because reNgine has the ability to customize the scan engines. These engines are Yaml based configurations, you can add, remove or customize them.

So what is reNgine and how it solved the problems that no other recon frameworks were providing?

One of the most impressive features of reNgine is that it makes use of something called Scan Engines, these engines are highly configurable and allow you to choose the tools you like, configurations you like, example so you are not limited to using subfinder for subdomain gathering, you can use multiple of them, as many as you want. How difficult is it to choose tools? Very simple, just add the tool name in YAML configuration and you’re good to go, reNgine will take care of the rest.This scan engine allows you to fine-tune the tools and perform scans in a much-advanced way. These scan engines have one to many relationships with the targets, meaning, you can define one scan engine, let’s say ‘Defcon Scan’ that does Subdomain Discovery at 100 threads, grab screenshots at 50 threads, and also performs vulnerability scan. Now, once this scan engine is defined, you can use it against n number of targets without the need to modify and fine-tune the parameters every once in a while.

Sample Scan Engine Configuration:

subdomain_discovery: uses_tool: [ subfinder, sublist3r, assetfinder, oneforall ] thread: 10 wordlist: default amass_config: config_short_name subfinder_config: config_short_name port_scan: ports: [ top-100 ] exclude_ports: null thread: 10 visual_identification: port: xlarge thread: 2 http_timeout: 3000 screenshot_timeout: 30000 scan_timeout: 100 dir_file_search: extensions: [ php,asp,aspx,txt,conf,db,sql,json ] recursive: false recursive_level: 1 thread: 100 wordlist: default fetch_url: uses_tool: [ gau, hakrawler ] intensity: aggressive vulnerability_scan: concurrent: 10 template: all severity: all excluded_subdomains: - test.rengine.wiki - hello.test.com

This configuration and finetuning can be used against n targets. The result of this recon is then stored in DB for co-relation.

Technology Stack:
reNgine uses the following technology stack:Web Framework: DjangoDatabase: PostgresDistributed Message Broker: RedisAsync Tasks and Scheduling Scans: Celery and Celery-beat Redis acts as a message broker between Django and Celery.Containerized everything by Docker reNgine has a dashboard-like UI, which makes it easy to co-relate the recon results.Example: https://user-images.githubuserconten...087b2b48d3.pnghttps://user-images.githubuserconten...d626127d88.png The purpose of creating the dashboard-like UI was so that one can easily filter the recon results like, “Hey, I quickly want to filter a subdomain that has admin or dashboard in page title, and also has HTTP status as 200”. With the existing recon frameworks, this was quite impossible. reNgine’s dashboard makes it very easy to filter such use cases. Example: https://camo.githubusercontent.com/2...795f322e706e67

Key Features of reNgine:

Perform Recon:
Subdomain Discovery
Ports Discovery
Endpoints Discovery
Directory Bruteforce
Visual Reconnaissance (Screenshot the targets) IP Discovery
CNAME discovery
Subdomain Takeover Scan
Highly configurable scan engines, use tools of your choice, open-source or integrate your own tool, use one configuration, fine-tuning against multiple targets Run multiple scans in parallel, running multiple scans is very simple, select n targets, choose the scan engine, and initiate the scan. reNgine and celery will take care of the rest. Run Clocked Scans (Run reconnaissance exactly at X Hours and Y minutes) Run Periodic Scans (Runs reconnaissance every X minutes/hours/days/week) Perform Vulnerability Scan using Nuclei and get notified when a vulnerability is discovered Send scan related notifications to Slack or Discord Perform Advanced Query lookup using natural language alike and, or, not operations Example: Assume that, you are looking for open redirection, you can quickly search for =http and look for HTTP status 30X, this will give high accuracy of open redirection with bare minimum effort.Out-of-Scope options available, if recon need not be performed on specific targets, define them on the scan engine and you’re good to go. reNgine won’t perform anything on the out-of-scope subdomains.Redefined Dashboard that allows you to quickly find out the most vulnerable target and most commonly occurred vulnerability Example: https://user-images.githubuserconten...7e087c1a26.png

Upcoming Features:
Scan Comparision
Comparision of the scans performed on the target, to find out how many new vulnerabilities have been discovered since the last scan, how many new subdomains have been discovered since the last scan, etc. (Under Development)Interesting Subdomains Discovery

reNgine will discover the interesting subdomains based on the HTTP status, content length, and page title. For example, imagine the time saved by reNgine if reNgine tells you that, Hey admin.facebook.com is an interesting subdomain you might want to look up, now this is depended upon, HTTP status, content length, and many more factors (Under Development)

Source Code: https://github.com/yogeshojha/rengine

Target Audience:
The targeted audience is both Offence and Defence on Web application Security.

The audience on the offense can use reNgine to perform active reconnaissance and gather more information about their next penetration testing target. This information includes but not limited to subdomains, ip address associated with it, endpoints, visual reconnaissance screenshot gathering, ports scan, and vulnerability scan as well.

And, the audience on defense can learn how to use reNgine to perform periodic scans on their (Intra/Extra)net web services, run the periodic open-source-powered vulnerability scanner, and get notified instantly when a vulnerability is identified.The beauty of reNgine is that, with minimal penetration testing and security experience, one can run the entire reconnaissance and gather the result so that it is well suited for both offense and defense.

As the purpose of this demo lab would be to demonstrate the capabilities of reNgine, the demo would be outlined in such a way that it can be well received by the audience of both the offense and defense sides.

reNgine is something I have worked really hard, spent countless nights working on it. Within a very short period of time, reNgine became one of the popular reconnaissance tools. Presenting this to fellow hackers will certainly gather new ideas on making reNgine a more advanced reconnaissance tool, which is one of the major reasons why I wish to present this to Defcon. On the other hand, presenting this to Defcon will foster the open-source and hacker culture as I will explain about the in and out of reNgine and hopefully bring in many developers to contribute to reNgine as well.

Also, I plan to announce a major update in reNgine during Defcon, which I believe will bring innovation and excitement among the attendees as well. And of course, Defcon is the right platform to make everyone aware of the updates, advancements, and new features of reNgine.

Finally, she coaches women building online platforms, helping them make a profitable business working on their passion.

Description:
We often hear about the importance of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and how companies are striving to do better. However, there are plenty of examples where DEI that is being promoted is not actually happening behind scenes. Stories of those who are marginalized in tech showcasing we still have a large problem with companies practicing lip service and no actual actions to show for it. One way to see if a company is trying to be better on DEI is reflected on the board and C-suite. Yet, still to this day less than 20% of company boards represent marginalized identities. It's time to increase representation of marginalized identities from less than 20% to 50%+ for all levels in tech. When we shift to incorporating DEI practices by making sure representation is present on the leadership team, board and c-suite, it recognizes the voices of marginalized identities: ethnicities, genders, generations, sexuality, and abilities. Research has repeatedly shown that when we have diverse boards and c-level positions held by marginalized persons, it produces a trickle down effect. Where the company takes actions and voices are finally heard because there’s representation, and it's reflected in the vision, company policies, and hiring practices. This talk discusses why we need representation on the leadership team, and how to get involved to actually bring a change to an industry that has run out of time to become more inclusive.

Twitter: @tincho_508

Description:
Over the past few years, we have seen some novel presentations re-introducing the concept of HTTP request smuggling, to reliably exploit complex landscapes and systems. With advanced techniques, researchers were able to bypass restrictions and breach the security of critical web applications.

This presentation will take a new approach, focusing on the response pipeline desynchronization, a rather unexplored attack vector in HTTP Smuggling.

First, I will introduce a Desync variant, using connection-tokens to hide arbitrary headers from the backend. This technique does not abuse discrepancy between HTTP parsers, but instead relies on a vulnerability in the protocol itself!

The issue was found and reported under Google’s Vulnerability Reward Program for a nice bounty!

Next, I will show how it is possible to inject multiple messages at the backend server, mixing the pipeline’s connection order, and hijack users sessions from login requests.

Finally, using a novel technique known as Response Scripting, I will demonstrate how to create malicious outbound messages using static responses as the building blocks. This will be leveraged to write custom responses and take control of one of the most popular protocols in history!

SpeakerBio:Gal Kaufman
No BIO available

Description:
The supply-chain attack vector has gained a lot of attention in the passing year. Our talk, however, will present a different type of a supply-chain attack vector -- the reverse supply-chain attack.

The process of a supply chain attack involves an attacker altering code of software, or the hardware of a device, en route to a potential victim. The reverse supply chain attack starts from the other end of the chain -- when a device is removed from a secure network. While IT departments are aware of the importance of wiping the harddrives of PCs, before they are being thrown away, or sold off, they are not fully aware that certain medical devices also withhold sensitive data, and the process to wipe these devices is also non-trivial.

In this talk, we will demonstrate the type of data that can be recovered from the most popular infusion pump -- the BD Alaris Infusion Pump. The recovered data can allow an attacker to infiltrate internal networks of medical facilities and exfiltrate or alter personal patient data. In the process of analyzing this attack vector, we purchased a handful of these used infusion pumps from eBay, which led us to the credentials of internal networks of large hospital facilities all over the US.

Where: Track 1 Live; DCTV/Twitch #1 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:Dennis Giese
Dennis is a PhD student and a cybersecurity researcher at Northeastern University. He was a member of one european ISP's CERT for several years.

While being interested in physical security and lockpicking, he enjoys applied research and reverse engineering malware and all kinds of devices.

His most known projects are the rooting and hacking of various vacuum robots

Twitter: @dgi_DE
https://dontvacuum.me

Description:
Vacuum robots are becoming increasingly popular and affordable as their technology grows ever more advanced, including sensors like lasers and cameras. It is easy to imagine interesting new projects to exploit these capabilities. However, all of them rely on sending data to the cloud. Do you trust the companies promise that no video streams are uploaded to the cloud and that your personal data is safe? Why not collect the dust with open-source software?

I previously showed ways to root robots such as Roborock and Xiaomi, which enabled owners to use their devices safely with open-source home automation. In response, vendors began locking down their devices with technologies like Secure Boot, SELinux, LUKS encrypted partitions and custom crypto that prevents gaining control over our own devices. This talk will update my newest methods for rooting these devices.

The market of vacuum robots expanded in the past 2 years. In particular, the Dreame company has recently released many models with interesting hardware, like ToF cameras and line lasers. This can be a nice alternative for rooting. I will show easy ways to get root access on these devices and bypass all security. I will also discuss backdoors and security issues I discovered from analysis. You will be surprised what the developers left in the firmware.

Description:
Openness to responsibly disclosed external vulnerability research is crucial for modern software maintainers and security teams. Changes in upstream dependency code may have pulled the safety rug out from underneath widely trusted core libraries, leaving millions of services vulnerable to unsophisticated attacks. The impact of even a single reasonably well-distributed supply-chain security vulnerability will be felt by engineering teams across many applications, companies, and industries.

We'd like to discuss an IP address parsing vulnerability first discovered in private-ip, a small and infrequently maintained yet critically important NodeJS package for determining if an IP address should be considered part of a private range or not. We'll talk about not only the implications of this CVE but taking the main idea and applying it across multiple programming languages in uniquely disturbing ways.

Sometimes, the effects of code rot are even more far-reaching than we could possibly expect, and if you pull on a thread, it just keeps going. Sometimes, you get lucky when you know exactly what you're looking for. Sometimes, it's hard to convince other technically-minded folks that a seemingly trivial implementation flaw is dangerous in capable hands.

This talk is beginner as well as advanced-friendly; we'll show you the basics a hacker or a programmer needs to know about IP address parsing and how to tell your octal from your decimal along the way.

Title: Ruse
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 10:00 - 11:50 PDT
Where: DemoLab Video Channel 2

SpeakerBio:Mike Kiser
Mike Kiser is insecure. He has been this way since birth, despite holding a panoply of industry positions over the past 20 years—from the Office of the CTO to Security Strategist to Security Analyst to Security Architect—that might imply otherwise. In spite of this, he has designed, directed, and advised on large-scale security deployments for a global clientele. He is currently in a long-term relationship with fine haberdashery, is a chronic chronoptimist (look it up), and delights in needlessly convoluted verbiage. He speaks regularly at events such as the European Identity Conference and the RSA Conference, is a member of several standards groups, and has presented identity-related research at Black Hat and Def Con. He is currently a Senior Identity Strategist for SailPoint Technologies.

Description:
Tool or Project Name: Ruse

Short Abstract:
Facial recognition is eroding privacy and other human rights. Industry and government have ethical responsibilities to prevent this, but what if there were a way to enhance privacy for individuals without waiting for the cavalry? Adversarial technology gives people a way to protect this biometric. Ruse is an open-source mobile app that uses some of the research from the past year to enable “normal” people to protect the photos that they put online from being processed by commercial facial recognition products.

Detailed Explanation of Tool:

In an ideal world, this tool would utilize two of the latest techniques (Fawkes (http://sandlab.cs.uchicago.edu/fawkes/) / Lowkey) that have been pioneered at various academic institutions over the past year. However, for an app such as this one to truly work, ease-of-use is essential. This means that it must be delivered in a mobile format, which restricts the app to using TensorFlow Lite - which in turn means no on-board learning, and that whatever techniques it uses must be as quick and as easy to use as FaceID on a localized device is. (ironic, no?)

However, decent results can be had with a cheaper, faster combination of techniques — injecting perlin noise into the photos, a la Camera Adversaria: https://github.com/kieranbrowne/camera-adversaria, and modifying the photo by applying an arbitrary style through the relatively well known “arbitrary style transfer” technique. The combination of these two is powerful enough to warrant further development because it impacts two different processes involved in facial recognition: facial detection and facial classification.

This currently comes at a slight cost to the end user in terms of human intelligibility, but the app also allows for in-flow modification of the impact of these changes (and their protection.) There are some onboard facilities to check for the impact of these changes: Google MLKit to check for facial recognition, for example, so that the end user can dial down the modifications to a limit that is effective but not as disruptive.

This is a camera-centric mobile app, so the flow looks like this: photo from camera or roll -> apply perlin noise -> apply style filter -> check for impact against facial recognition -> save to roll or upload to social media

The app is on github here: https://github.com/derrumbe/Ruse and will be released onto the android and apple app stores in its first release (hopefully for DefCon): as noted before, ease-of-use is the goal.

Operating system:
Swift (iOS) / Java (android – lagging behind ios currently, but it will be transposed later this summer, hopefully) Tensorflow Version: TensorFlowLiteSwift , nightly build (with GPU accel on) GoogleMLKit
GPUImage: https://github.com/BradLarson/GPUImage (open source) SimplexNoise : https://weber.itn.liu.se/~stegu/simp...plexNoise.java (open source)

Title: Scaling AppSec through Education
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 09:05 - 09:59 PDT
Where: AppSec Village (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Grant Ongers (rewtd)
No BIO available

Description:
Given that:

Security teams are outnumbered by developers 100:1 50 - 80% more bugs are found in code review than in testing More than 70% of CVEs are caused by implementations in code It must follow that AppSec should be the biggest part of your concern as a security person, and that you either need to seriously invest in more AppSec people to keep up with the developer population or you need to get developers looking for AppSec issues during code review.

So, how does one do that?

We'll lay out the problem space in a bit more detail, covering some of the issues described in our BlackHat EU talk (https://www.blackhat.com/eu-20/features/schedule/index.html#are-you-big-friendly-giant---red-unless-blue-finds-green-ru-bfg-22029) and then we'll move onto how we solve this.

We'll talk about the OWASP Application Security Curriculum project, it's goals, ambitions, and milestones - as well as talking about the current artefacts.

We'll then talk about how you get developers engaged in the education program and how we leverage other OWASP projects (like Cornucopia and the ASVS) to make it all fit together.

Title: Scaling Up Offensive Pipelines
When: Sunday, Aug 8, 13:15 - 14:15 PDT
Where: Adversary Village (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Gil Biton , Adversarial Tactics Expert, Sygnia
Gil has over 5 years of experience in the Cyber Security industry, specializing in Red Team operations, phishing campaigns, and network infrastructure assessments. Gil has been involved in numerous security engagements with Fortune 100-500 client where he brought his extensive experience in the development and research domains to implement complex techniques and automate offensive security processes. Gil is a member of the Adversarial Tactics team, the offensive security team within Sygnia's Enterprise Security division.
https://www.linkedin.com/in/gil-biton-a3a385101

Description:
Evolving endpoint protection software with enhanced detection capabilities and greater visibility coverage have been taking red team and purple team operation’s complexity to a higher level. The current situation forces adversaries to take precautions and invest much more time in the weaponization phase to overcome prevention and detection mechanisms. The community has adapted CI/CD pipelines to automate tasks related to offensive tools weaponization. Offensive CI/CD pipelines have been around for a couple of years, with the goal of helping red teams to automate offensive tools creation and evasion techniques implementation. As part of this evolution, we designed and built our own offensive CI/CD pipeline framework that is simple to use, modular, self-managed, automated, collaborative, and fast. Our framework leverages Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to fully automate the deployment of our offensive CI/CD pipeline framework with built in recipes for evading host and network detections. Each recipe is modular and can be customized to fit red team or purple team requirements, such as proprietary techniques or imitation of specific threat actor TTPs.The framework leverages Gitlab CI/CD in conjunction with Kubernetes cluster to automate and manage the process of building and deploying offensive tools at scale.

In this talk, we will discuss the essentials of offensive pipeline and present our innovative approach, while referring to the challenges we solved, and demonstrate how you can leverage our offensive CI/CD framework to empower red team and purple team operations.


Adversary Village talks and workshops will be streamed on YouTube and Twitch.

Q&A sessions will happen in DEF CON Official Discord server after each talk.

Title: Scope X: Hunt in the Ocean!
When: Friday, Aug 6, 17:30 - 17:59 PDT
Where: Blue Team Village - Main Track (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Meisam Eslahi
Meisam is a technical cybersecurity practitioner with solid expertise in providing strategies and technical directions, building new service/business lines, diverse teams, and capabilities. He has over 19 years of experience in information technology, with 15 years dedicated to cybersecurity in leadership and technical roles leading, managing, and delivering a wide range of cybersecurity services to multi-national clients - mainly in the banking, financial, healthcare, and telecom sectors.
Twitter: @drmeisam_

Description:
Almost every cybersecurity services begin with defining a scope to be assessed. There is nothing wrong with scoping unless it is all about what we know. Attackers walk into our network from the entry points that we may not even know about them. This is not an "out of the scope" concept as these entry points are entirely unknown; Let's call it "Scope X." One of the mysterious examples of Scope X is subdomains; this presentation will not talk about techniques to enumerate them as uncle Google provides tons of tutorials. Instead, we discuss threat hunting on discovered subdomains.

This talk defines scope x and its importance in threat hunting by using subdomains as a perfect example. Exploring subdomains may help red teamers look for more sensitive information, forgotten vulnerabilities, and obsolete technologies that could provide additional attack surfaces.

On the other hand, the blue teamers should proactively discover the subdomains, identify the different types of risks and address them. Assume we retrieved a large number of subdomains; what would be the next step?

• Data Validation: When we have a bulk number of subdomains in hands, the first step is to determine which one is really UP to reduce false findings.

• Data classification and reduction: We may face tons of subdomains containing sensitive information, precisely like hunting fishes in an ocean! Before we jump into the analysis phase, we could separate and organize collected data into different groups based on desired parameters or filter out unwanted data to narrow down the hunting scope.

• Say cheese and Take a Picture! Without a doubt navigating the subdomains one by one is not an option! One of the common practices is taking the screenshots in bulk, checking and shortlisting them if we found something interesting. But how do that?

• Keyword Style! Each subdomain page source may contain information that helps us to look for a different type of risk. How fast can we search for specific data in a large volume of subdomains? By the way, what to look for?

• Threats lucky draw: There may be different types of technical and business security risks. How to analyze our data, identify risks, and categorize them?

Title: Secure messaging over unsecured transports
When: Friday, Aug 6, 15:00 - 18:59 PDT
Where: Workshops - Las Vegas 1+2 (Onsite Only)

SpeakerBio:Ash , Hacker
Ash is just some dude. In the past he's been a network engineer, created a variety of security tools, and is currently working in R&D and protocol development in spaces adjacent to email security. He has spoken at DEFCON, Black Hat, and Bsides San Diego. He has recently developed a weird fascination with hacking vintage electromechanical tech.

Description:
You need to send a message, avoiding traditional channels like email and SMS, to someone who's on a different network, somewhere else in the world. The tools at your disposal are Python, DNS, and an unauthenticated MQTT broker. This message must be end-to-end encrypted, and the recipient must be able to confirm that it was undeniably you who sent it. Now add another constraint: you can't communicate directly with this other party to perform a public key exchange before signing, encrypting, and transmitting the message. This can be a difficult problem to solve, and many specialized secure messaging apps have sprung up to address the challenge of end-to-end secured messaging. We will build our own. While our application won't be as sophisticated as Signal, you'll leave the workshop with an understanding of how DNS can be used to enable end-to-end authenticated and encrypted communication across nearly any public system that can be made to support the publisher/subscriber communication pattern.

Registration Link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/secure-messaging-over-unsecured-transports-las-vegas-1-2-tickets-162214713575

Prerequisites
Students should have a good understanding of DNS, Docker, and the Python programming language. An understanding of how to configure DNSSEC with their DNS server/provider of choice is necessary, and a basic understanding of how PKI works (roots of trust and the use of public keys to secure the conveyance of public keys) will be beneficial.

SpeakerBio:Thom Dixon , National Security & Defence, PhD student at Macquarie University
Thom Dixon is Vice President for the Australian Institute of International Affairs NSW and the Manager, National Security and Defence at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia.

Description:
The coming age of robust two-way communication between living and non-living systems can simply be described as the Internet of Biological Things (IoBT). Interfacing optoelectronic systems with optogenetic-, bioelectrochemical- and biosensor-based information substrates will challenge key assumptions underpinning information security. A cyberbiosecurity mindset is needed to maximise the benefits and minimise the downsides of the pervasive, persistent and immersive information environment that arises from an IoBT world.

Title: Seeing the Forest Through the Trees – Foundations of Event Log Analysis
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 09:00 - 09:59 PDT
Where: Packet Hacking Village - Talks (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Jake Williams , CTO OF BREACHQUEST
Jake Williams (Twitter: @malwarejake) is an incident responder, red teamer, occasional vCISO, and prolific infosec shitposter. He has traveled the world, but isn't welcome in China or Russia (and avoids most countries they have extradition treaties with). When not speaking at a conference like this one, it's a good bet that Jake is engaged in hand to hand combat with an adversary rooted deep in a network or engineering ways to keep them out. Jake's career in infosec started in the intelligence community, but has taken around the world securing networks of all shapes and sizes, from utilities to hospitals to manufacturing plants.
Twitter: @malwarejake

Description:
During an incident, everyone knows you need to review the logs – but what are they actually telling you? There's a wealth of information to be had in your logs event logs, but most analysts miss the forest because they don't understand the trees. In this talk, Jake will walk you through some of the most impactful event logs to focus on in your analysis. We'll target some old favorites covering login events, service creation, and process execution. We'll also examine task scheduler logs, useful in uncovering lateral movement and privilege escalation. Finally, we'll discuss some of the new event logs available in Windows 10 (if only you enable them first). If you don't want to be barking up the wrong tree during your next insider investigation or getting axed because you failed to identify the lateral movement attempts, make sure to watch this video.

All Packet Hacking Village talks will stream on YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, and Periscope.

Title: Selling Yourself as a Security Professional
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 13:00 - 13:59 PDT
Where: Career Hacking Village (Talk)

SpeakerBio:Preston Pierce
No BIO available

Description:
What is the key to advancing your career in cybersecurity? The answer is SALES. No, you don't have to go make cold calls worry about CAN-SPAM laws, but you need to learn how to sell yourself. Many security professionals treat the industry like a chess tournament, expecting the most skilled player to come out on top and relying on skills alone to make the difference. This is not the reality of the world we live in. Most estimates say over half of jobs are filled through networking. Sometimes, who you know will matter as much as what you know in seeking a job. Leave the job boards and online postings and learn from one who has spent a decade in cybersecurity in recruiting (including running a cybersecurity recruiting agency) and sales how best to sell yourself for your next career move. This is going to be a tactical, practical discussion. How do you approach finding a new role from an outbound vs. inbound approach? What are the best places to put yourself out there in the market? What does it really mean to network to find your next job? How can you create a pipeline of job opportunities? Join to learn how to create more demand for YOU in the marketplace, find more job opportunities, and become a sought after person in our industry.

Twitter: @logicbomb_1

Description:
In the agile world, where continuous iteration of development and testing happens throughout the software development lifecycle involving constant collaboration with stakeholders and continuous improvement and iteration at every stage, where engineers release their changes very frequently. All this makes the chances of potential security loopholes become more and more real. A fast-moving lean and agile culture makes it necessary to bring the testing of software support earlier in the development and release process. This brings us to the quote - “Security shouldn’t be treated as an after-thought”, it should be brought as close to engineers and as early in SDLC. When we bring something close to the source, and in this context, if we bring Security closer to the source, we call it Shift Left Security. It not only gives a much better opportunity to see improved security outcomes in products sooner, and include the requirements, suggestions, advice at an earlier stage, but also saves time, effort, and overall cost of product delivery. Shift Left approach takes this a step further, integrating security into CICD. With security requirements represented earlier in the software development process, it also makes enforcement part of the Continuous Delivery pipeline with improved testing, monitoring, and response to support security drift detection. By integrating security in CICD, one can deliver secure and compliant application changes rapidly while running operations consistently with automation. In order to do this well, the most logical place security can be checked are code reviews. But now the series of questions raised - How can it be achieved? How can we make sure every release that goes to production has proper security sign-off? How can we scan and test every piece of code that is changed from not just DAST or SAST point of view but also including wide custom and flexible security test cases? Here we will talk about building such a solution and framework to integrate security in CICD and automating the complete process for continuous scanning of different kinds of potential security issues on every code change in AWS Codepipeline. Some of the improvement it brings - Wide Variety of Security checks — Integration of standard and custom checks Early Checks — Now security checks are performed as soon as any PR is raised or code is modified Highly Flexible —The security checks are very modular. We can add more checks as we want and configure them to perform response-based action Completely Automated — Automation is the key/let the machines do the work Alerting - Integration of SNS alert for check success or failure Reporting - Scan reports are shared across different communication channels Framework as code - Any company having their CICD over AWS can use this framework by just running my in-house built cloud formation template Vulnerability Management - All the vulnerabilities and findings are logged in a single place - AWS Security Hub

Twitter: @Op_Nomad

Description:
Tool or Project Name: Shutter

Short Abstract:
The goal of Shutter is to manage windows network stack communication via Windows Filtering Platform. Management can include blocking or permitting traffic based on IP or an executable that initiates or receives the traffic.

This is useful to blackhole event logging, defensive agent communication, or explicitly permit specific executables to communicate if they have been previously restricted by policy.

Shutter installs rules in a memory running session without touching the windows firewall itself or invocation of `netsh` command, thereby minimizing detection during long haul RT operations.

As a generic mechanism for managing network traffic it can help operators in: punching through firewalls without shutting them down not creating persistent rules
evading reporting on `netsh` invocation blackholing EDRs and activity supervising agents. studying existing security providers, active filters and network endpoints involved in network communication Short Developer Bio:
I support initiatives in offensive testing for my team by writing code where needed.

Interests include network-based command and controls, data exfiltration mechanisms, evasion.

URL to any additional information: https://github.com/dsnezhkov/shutter

Detailed Explanation of Tool: Please see https://github.com/dsnezhkov/shutter...main/README.md

Supporting Files, Code, etc: https://github.com/dsnezhkov/shutter

Target Audience: Offense

Offensive teams can use the tool to better simulate attacks that involve WFP.

Detailed Explanation of Tool:
Siembol is an in-house developed security data processing application, forming the core of an internal Security Data Platform. Following the experience of using Splunk, and as early adopters of Apache Metron, the team needed a highly efficient, real-time event processing engine with fewer limitations and more enhanced features. With Metron now retired, Siembol hopes to give the community an evolved alternative. Siembol improvements over Metron:
Components for real-time alert escalation: CSIRT teams can easily create a rule-based alert from a single data source, or they can create advanced correlation rules that combine various data sources. Pending: tool for translating a Sigma rule specification into siembol Ability to integrate with other systems using dedicated components and plugin architecture for easy integration with incident response tools Advanced parsing framework for building fault tolerant parsers Enhanced enrichment component allowing for defining rules and joining enrichment tables Configurations and rules are defined by a modern Angular web application, with a git-based approval process Supports OAUTH2/OIDC for authentication and authorization in the siembol UI Easy installation for use with prepared docker images and helm charts Siembol Use Cases:
SIEM log collection using open-source technologies Detection tool for discovery of leaks and attacks on infrastructure

Supporting Files, Code, etc:

Title: Signed, Sealed, Delivered: Comparing Chinese APTs behind Software Supply Chain Attacks
When: Sunday, Aug 8, 14:15 - 15:15 PDT
Where: Adversary Village (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Cheryl Biswas , Threat Intel Specialist, TD

Twitter: @3ncr1pt3d

Description:
State-sponsored threat actors have engaged in software supply chain attacks for longer than most people realize, as governments seek out access to information and potential control. Of Russia, North Korea and Iran, China has been behind the most attacks, targeting the technology sector for economic espionage and intellectual property theft. In their current drive for innovation and cloud migration, organizations increasingly rely on software development and all its dependencies: third-party code, open - libraries andshared repositories. Recent attacks have shown how easy it is to create confusion and send malicious code undetected through automated channels to waiting recipients.

This talk will walk attendees through the stages of past attacks by Chinese APTs - notably APT10, APT17 and APT41- to show how capabilities have evolved and what lessons could be applied to recent attacks, comparing tactics, techniques and procedures.

TOPICS COVERED:

What constitutes software supply chain attacks. The abuse of trust and compromise at the source. Trust third parties with third parties. How cloud migration and innovation fuel increased code dependency. Understanding CI/CD continuous integration and continuous delivery. The increased use and targeting of online code repositories and automated software distribution. Where mistakes and misconfigurations occur, creating adversarial opportunity A brief history of software supply chain attacks on repositories.

LEARNING FROM THE PAST

A walk through of several major attack including Operation Aurora, CCleaner, NetSarang. Contrast these to a walk through of recent attacks including SolarWinds, Dependency Confusion, Codecov and XCodeSpy.

The value of historical context is that it helps illuminate TTPs that should be monitored for and secured against, especially those which aid in deception and evasion. Recommendations for mitigations and best practices to secure code, dependencies.

TAKEAWAYS

Attendees will learn what software supply chain attacks are and why they are increasing They will understand the opportunity for adversaries because of the vulnerability created by multiple dependencies. A breakdown of key attacks will be mapped to the Lockheed Martin Kill Chain steps and Mitre ATT&CK. Attendees will be familiarized with major Chinese APT group TTPs which they can bring back to their organizations to implement in their monitoring.


Adversary Village talks and workshops will be streamed on YouTube and Twitch.

Q&A sessions will happen in DEF CON Official Discord server after each talk.

Title: Sleight of ARM: Demystifying Intel Houdini
When: Friday, Aug 6, 13:00 - 13:45 PDT
Where: Track 2 Live; DCTV/Twitch #2 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:Brian Hong
Brian Hong is a security consultant at NCC Group, a global information assurance specialist providing organizations with expert security consulting services. He specializes in hardware penetration testing, reverse engineering, and has performed security research related to embedded systems, firmware analysis, web application penetration testing, and Android security and malware analysis. Brian has a B. Eng. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from The Cooper Union.

Description:
In the recent years, we have seen some of the major players in the industry switch from x86-based processors to ARM processors. However, you might be surprised to know that Intel has long supported ARM to x86 transition with their binary translator, Houdini, which runs ARM binaries on x86.

In this talk, we will discuss Intel's proprietary Houdini translator, which is primarily used by Android on x86 platforms, such as higher-end Chromebooks and desktop Android emulators. We will start with a high-level discussion of how Houdini works and is loaded into processes. We will then dive into the low-level internals of the Houdini engine and memory model, including several security weaknesses it introduces into processes using it. Lastly, we will discuss methods to escape the Houdini environment, execute arbitrary ARM and x86, and write Houdini-targeted malware that bypasses existing platform analysis.

Title: Smart Meters: I'm Hacking Infrastructure and So Should You
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 15:00 - 15:30 PDT
Where: ICS Village (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Hash Salehi
Hash grew up on IRC freely sharing information and benefitting from those more knowledgeable who were willing to reciprocate. He is the founder of RECESSIM, a reverse engineering community where information is freely shared. Over the last few years he has focused on reverse engineering smart meter technology analyzing both the RF communications and hardware design, openly publishing all his findings.
Twitter: @BitBangingBytes

Description:
Why Smart Meters? This is a question Hash is often asked. There's no bitcoin or credit card numbers hiding inside, so he must want to steal power, right? Openly analyzing the technology running our critical infrastructure and publishing the findings is something Hash is passionate about. In the wake of the great Texas freeze of 2021, we can no longer "hope" those in power will make decisions that are in the people's best interest. This talk will present research on the Landis+Gyr GridStream series of smart meters used by Oncor, the largest energy provider in Texas.

Title: Sneak into buildings with KNXnet/IP
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 14:00 - 14:59 PDT
Where: DCTV/Twitch #3 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:Claire Vacherot
Claire Vacherot is a pentester at Orange Cyberdefense. She likes to test systems and devices that interact with the real world and is particularly interested in industrial and embedded device cybersecurity. As a former software developer, she never misses a chance to write scripts and tools.

Description:
Building Management Systems control a myriad of devices such as lighting, shutters and HVAC. KNX (and by extension KNXnet/IP) is a common protocol used to interact with these BMS. However, the public's understanding and awareness is lacking, and effective tooling is scarce all while the BMS device market keeps on growing.

The ability to craft arbitrary KNXnet/IP frames to interact with these often-insecure BMS provides an excellent opportunity in uncovering vulnerabilities in both the implementation of KNX as well as the protocol itself. From unpacking KNX at a lower level, to using a Python-based protocol crafting framework we developed to interact with KNXnet/IP implementations, in this talk we’ll go on a journey of discovering how BMS that implement KNXnet/IP work as well as how to interact with and fuzz them.

After this talk you could also claim that “the pool on the roof has a leak”!

Title: So What? The CFAA after Van Buren
When: Friday, Aug 6, 15:00 - 15:30 PDT
Where: Crypto & Privacy Village (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Kendra Albert
Kendra Albert is a public interest technology lawyer with a special interest in computer security law and in protecting marginalized speakers and users. They serve as a clinical instructor at the Cyberlaw Clinic at Harvard Law School, where they teach students to practice law by working with pro bono clients. Kendra is also the founder and director of the Initiative for a Representative First Amendment. Before they joined the Clinic, Kendra worked with Marcia Hofmann at Zeitgeist Law. They serve on the board of the ACLU of Massachusetts and the Tor Project, and provide support as a legal advisor for Hacking // Hustling.

Description:
On June 3, 2021, the Supreme Court of the United States decided Van Buren v. United States, its first case that meaningfully took up the scope of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the federal anti-hacking statute. Originally passed in the aftermath of Wargames (no, really), the CFAA's broad language has been used to criminalize all kinds of activities that might not be traditionally considered hacking, from employees accessing databases for non-job purposes to companies that aimed to aggregate social network data. Post Van Buren, it's clear that the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act is narrower - but what is covered and what isn't is still up in the air. This talk will provide a brief overview of the CFAA, particularly focused on computer security work and research, and then discuss what the consequences of Van Buren might be, including competing theories about the infamous (for lawyers at least) footnote that suggests that non-technical restrictions on access may create CFAA liability.

When: Saturday, Aug 7, 12:30 - 12:59 PDT
Where: Voting Village (Talks - Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Sebastian Bay
Sebastian Bay is a researcher with the Swedish Defense Research Agency specialising in election security and digital harms.

Description:
Digital disinformation is a significant threat to trusted elections and poses a cybersecurity challenge for social media companies. Fake accounts spread content to authentic users, mislead users, and trick users into believing content is more popular. The global market for media manipulation is extensive and growing - many providers openly market their fake engagement services.

Sebastian Bay and his fellow researchers bought fake engagement on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, and Tik Tok to assess the social media companies’ ability to combat disinformation. This presentation explores their findings, highlights the differences between social media platforms, and provides recommendations for companies and policy makers.

Title: Solitude
When: Friday, Aug 6, 12:00 - 13:50 PDT
Where: DemoLab Video Channel 1

SpeakerBio:Dan Hastings
Dan Hastings is a senior security consultant at NCC Group. He spends his time performing mobile and web application penetration tests for fortune 500 companies. Dan has spoken at the Defcon Crypto and Privacy village on his research on discrepancies in iOS Robocall blocking apps privacy policies and their actual data collection practices.

Description:
Tool or Project Name: Solitude: A privacy analysis tool

Short Abstract:
Solitude is an open-source privacy analysis tool that aims to help people inspect where their private data goes once it leaves their favorite mobile or web applications. Whether a curious novice or a more advanced researcher, Solitude makes the process of evaluating an app’s privacy accessible for everyone without the need for time-consuming app instrumentation and analysis, which we’ve abstracted away from the user.

Privacy policies are often difficult to understand when trying to identify how your private data is being shared and with whom it's being shared. My previous research1 has even shown that privacy policies don't always tell the truth of what an app’s actual data collection practices actually are. What’s more, prior to Solitude, tooling to find this out efficiently didn’t exist for security researchers, let alone nontechnical users. Solitude was built to help give users more transparency to understand where their private data goes by the process of proxying HTTP traffic and inspecting HTTP traffic more straightforward, and can be configured to look for arbitrary datatypes captured by a mobile or web application. In its early release, this tool has already been used by journalists to help investigate privacy abuses by mobile app vendors.

Detailed Explanation of Tool:
Solitude can be run in two different ways; either as a stand-alone web application/HTTP intercept proxy, or in a more mobile-friendly docker container that runs an Open VPN server along with the Solitude web application and intercepting HTTP proxy.

Users of Solitude can configure what data they want Solitude to search for in the Solitude web application. Solitude automatically searches through all websockets and HTTP requests using yara rules based upon what users have configured to search for. Solitude recursively decodes base64 and URL encoded data, searches for sha1,sha256 and md5 hashes of all configured data and supports protobuf and gzip. Several built-in searches are pre-configured to search for GPS coordinates and internal IP addresses. Once a configured piece of data is found the data and domain that the data is being sent to is displayed in the Solitude web application.

Supporting Files, Code, etc:
https://github.com/nccgroup/Solitude

Target Audience:
Mobile, Offense, Privacy enthusiasts.

Solitude makes the process of gaining transparency into where your private data goes when you use your favorite apps easier than reading and trusting a privacy policy. App users deserve more insight the data collection practices of the apps they use. Solitude is unique in that it aims to make an otherwise technical process easy and empower people to make informed decisions about the applications they choose to use.

Description:
When researching methods for covert communications in the wireless space, we noticed most hackers are barely looking below the IP layer, and even the wireless guys are focused on creating their own radio (PHY layer) solutions rather than looking at what’s already available to them. We discovered a sweet spot that takes advantage of MAC layer protocols in LTE and 5G, enabling long range communication using other people’s networks, GSMA CVD-2021-0045. We can use SPARROW devices almost everywhere in a variety of scenarios, such as data exfiltration and command and control. Despite limited data rates, the new scheme can defeat known covert communication schemes with dedicated PHY in the following ways:

Where: IoT Village (Talk - Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Juneau Jones
Raised in the woods of Alaska, Juneau attributes her love of hacking to a childhood spentbuilding and breaking things outside. After studying computer science and economics, she moved to Dallas, Texas, where she found a home in the local hacker community. Juneau began research on applying behavioral economics to adversarial tactics. After her successful first talk at Dallas Hacker's Association on the prisoner’s dilemma, she began presenting her research at cons across the country. Currently, she works as an adversarial analyst doing consultant red teaming. She is also continuing her research and education as a cybersecurity fellow at NYU. When she is not hacking or asking strangers to act out the prisoner's dilemma, Juneau breathes fire, plays the bass, and runs DC214; Dallas's DefCon group.

Description:
Game Theory is the study of choices and strategies made by rational actors, called ""players,"" during times of conflict or competition. It has been used throughout history to map human conflict. Statisticians use game theory to model war, biology, and even football. In this talk, we will model interactions between IoT devices based on strategic trust; how agents decide to trust each other. The talk will provide an overview of game-theoretic modeling and its application to the IoT landscape. The landscape facilitates deception; players must decide whether or not to trust other agents in the network, and agents may have misaligned incentives. There is a trade-off between information gained and short-term security. This talk will build a framework for predictive and strategic trust where players make decisions based on the incentives of their ""opponents."" This talk will not look at network topology or protocols but will instead look at information exchange and strategy.

IoT Village talks will be streamed to Twitch. Select speakers may be available in the IoT Village on-site to answer questions.

Title: Structured Analytical Techniques for Improving Information Security Analyses
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 17:00 - 17:30 PDT
Where: Blue Team Village - Main Track (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Rabbit
Rabbit is an information security engineer and lagomorph enthusiast with a background in medical device security and biometric access system assessment who now manages the secure development and testing of IoT smart home and smart lock devices.
Twitter: @ra6bit

Description:
Based on tradecraft documents openly published by the CIA, this talk takes structured analytical techniques intended for intelligence analysis and refactors them for use in improving typical Information Security investigations and analyses as well as OSINT investigations.

In 2009, the Central Intelligence Agency published a document titled "A Tradecraft Primer: Structured Analytic Techniques for Improving Intelligence Analysis " which lays out a number of techniques for improving the accuracy and reliability of intelligence analyses. I found the document fascinating and set out to reapply the techniques for use in my day to day Information Security work. The techniques are a fantastic tool set for improving the quality of analysis products by bringing alternative narratives and solutions to light, highlighting contradictory evidence, and developing confidence in analysis conclusions. Additionally there are techniques for imaginatively creating and evaluating new scenarios which may fit a given set of evidence.

The techniques can be divided into three categories. "Diagnostic Techniques", which are intended to assess and improve the quality of source material used in an analysis. "Contrarian Techniques", which are intended to surface potential alternate hypotheses that fit the information available, and "Imaginative Thinking" techniques which are used to generate new starting points for hypotheses that can then be developed further by applying the previous techniques.

An example of a Diagnostic technique is a "Key assumptions check". This exercise is simply to list all of the assumptions that have been made within an analysis, which can then be analyzed to identify unsupported assumptions or assumptions with excessive uncertainty. In an information security context, such as during incident response, this type of analysis can illuminate where assumptions have been made that can't be verified, such as confusing correlation with causation, or when errors have been made due to trusting timing information sources without verifying other reference events are properly synchronized in the source material. In an OSINT investigation, this technique can help weed out correlations that have been made based on dubious evidence.

An example of a Contrarian technique most people are probably familiar with already is the "Devils advocate" technique, where narratives are created which intentionally directly refute the hypothesis of the analysis to be improved. These opposite narratives are then evaluated to determine if they could be valid primary hypotheses. A lesser known technique, however, would be a "High Impact/Low probability" analysis, where an incident is analyzed in reverse. If the event is assumed to be a foregone conclusion, analyzing what conditions would necessarily have to have occurred for that condition to be possible can lead to the identification of additional places where supporting evidence may be available, or it may lead to a hypothesis being rejected as not fitting the available evidence.

An example of an Imaginative analysis is the "Red Team analysis". While a lot of people in Information Security will be familiar with what a red team is, particularly in the BTV, in this technique, the focus is on analyzing the red team itself, rather than applying red team techniques. What this means is to analyze the driving motivations of the adversary and factors which may influence their behavior as attackers. It's more like "red teaming the red team" to develop an idea of how and why they may act in a certain way in a given situation. In the information security realm, an example of applying this sort of technique is to develop a potential model of a threat based on their TTPs, then use that to determine if there are other investigations that should occur. For instance, if a breach was caused by a hacktivist, the ultimate goal of their attack may be completely different than that of a corporate rival, or a nation state, and identifying those motivations can help you further understand the motives and meanings behind the actions they take and their ultimate goals within your systems.

The final portion of this talk would be to apply some of the techniques to sample sets of evidence to illustrate how each technique can be applied, and how each can improve, support, or refute the initial hypothesis.

Title: Summer of Fuzz: MacOS
When: Friday, Aug 6, 10:00 - 10:45 PDT
Where: AppSec Village (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Jeremy Brown
Jeremy is a security professional largely focused on offensive and application security along with vulnerability research and automation. He has gained extensive software security experience working at software and service companies, large and small, for over a decade as well as publishing research in the security community. He has taken the opportunity to gain expertise in many different areas including bug hunting, app/prod/infra security, fuzzing, as well as breaking cloud and web services and enjoys all things interesting in the realm of computer security.

Description:
Thinking of fuzzing applications on OS X can quickly lead to a passing conversation of "ooh exotic Mac stuff", "lets fuzz the kernel" or it can otherwise not be thought of as an exciting target, at least for looking for crashes in stuff other than Safari or the iPhone. While there are some intricacies and nuance involved, workaround for security protections to enable debugging and finding tools that work and work well, this research will detail how it can be done in a reliable way and make the topic more tangible and easier to digest, kind of like how people think about using AFL on Linux: it "just works". We'll explore some of the overlooked attack surfaces of file parsers and some network services on Mac, how to fuzz userland binaries and introduce a new fuzzer that makes setup and crash triage straightforward while poking at some Apple core apps and clients. Have you ever thought "This thing has got to have some bugs" but think twice because it's only available on Mac and not worth the effort? If so, you may now find yourself both more motivated and better equipped to do some bug hunting on the sleek and eventually accommodating Mac OS.

SpeakerBio:Selmon Yang
Selmon Yang is a Staff Engineer at TXOne Networks. He is responsible for parsing IT/OT Protocol, linux kernel programming, and honeypot development and adjustment. Selmon also spoke at ICS Cyber Security Conference Asia, HITCON, SecTor and HITB.

Description:
Diversified Industrial Control System (ICS) providers create a variety of ecosystems, which have come to operate silently in the background of our lives. Among these organizations, Mitsubishi Electric ranks among the most prolific. Because the operation of this ecosystem is so widely used in key manufacturing, natural gas supply, oil, water, aviation, railways, chemicals, food and beverages, and construction, it is closely-related to people's lives. For this reason, the security of this ecosystem is extraordinarily important.

This research will enter the Mitsubishi ecosystem’s communication protocol, using it as a lens with which to deeply explore the differences between itself and other ecosystems. We will show how we successfully uncovered flaws in its identity authentication function, including how to take it over and show that such an attack can cause physical damage in different critical sectors. We’ll explain how we accomplished this by applying reverse engineering and communication analysis. This flaw allows attackers to take over any asset within the entire series of Mitsubishi PLCs, allowing command of the ecosystem and full control of the relevant sensors. A further complication is that making a fix to the various communication protocols in the ICS/SCADA is extremely difficult. We will also share the various problems we encountered while researching these findings and provide the most workable detection and mitigation strategies for those protocols.

Title: TEMPEST radio station
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 13:00 - 13:59 PDT
Where: DCTV/Twitch #3 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:Paz Hameiri
Paz started his professional life 30 years ago, hacking games and developing tools in his teen years. Since then, he has worked in several companies, developing both hardware and software.

Paz has six years of experience with telecommunication systems design and circuits. He explored GPU hardware and software design in his Master's thesis. For 12 years, Paz led multidisciplinary systems development as a systems engineer in an international homeland security company.

At home, Paz explores ideas he finds interesting. In 2019 he published his work on a body-tracking device that records keystrokes on a safe's keypad.

https://il.linkedin.com/in/paz-hameiri-251b11143

Description:
TEMPEST is a cyber security term that refers to the use of electromagnetic energy emissions generated by electronic devices to leak data out of a target device. The attacks may be passive (where the attacker receives the emissions and recovers the data) or active (where the attacker uses dedicated malware to target and emit specific data).

In this talk I present a new side channel attack that uses GPU memory transfers to emit electromagnetic waves which are then received and processed by the attacker. Software developed for this work encodes audio on one computer and transmits it to the reception equipment positioned fifty feet away. The signals are received and processed and the audio is decoded and played. The maximum bit rate achieved was 33kbit/s and more than 99% of the packets were received.

Frequency selection not only enables maximization of signal quality over distance, but also enables the attacker to receive signals from a specific computer when several computers in the area are active. The software developed demonstrates audio packets transfers, but other types of digital data may be transmitted using the same technique.

Description:
How I hacked the entire American Food Supply Chain over the course of 3 months, assembled a team of hacker strangers, and how we used a "full house" of exploits on almost every aspect of the agriculture industry. See the process in which it happened, the private exploits we used, the vectors we attacked from, and how it could happen again, or be happening right now.

How the ongoing analytics arms race affects everyone, and how Tractor companies have metastasized into Tech companies, with little to no cyber defenses in place. Learn how farms are not like they used to be; telemetry, crop & yield analytics, and more telemetry.

Twitter: @TypeMRT

Description:
It’s easy to just accept the status quo even when it’s harmful because that’s just how it’s always been done. Discrimination in the tech industry is no different. The reuse and amplification of discriminatory language can have damaging effects on those within the industry, as well as in other physical spaces. It adds to the barriers that prevent folks from even trying to participate because they think that they don’t belong. ​
Using technology to challenge how concepts are labeled can help break down those barriers and drive inclusivity. Changing how practitioners label concepts like Whitelist/Blacklist and Master/Slave makes the tech industry more inclusive internally. We can also use technology to uncover remnants of discrimination in the analog world. Thousands of geographic places across the country have official names that are racist like Negro Run and Squaw Creek. They are now easy to find using services like Google Maps. When those names are changed, everyone can see the update immediately. ​
Old baggage has a way of sticking around when new systems are built using legacy data. Regardless of my role in organizations, I look for ways to turn that around and cleanup some of those remnants of systematic discrimination. I will highlight two of those experiences where I have been able to make small changes with big impact by ensuring inclusive language in voting securing standards and changing the racist name of a river using a mapping service. I hope you see that you too can make small changes that make a difference at scale.

Twitter: @LeonardoViveiro

Description:
Serverless applications are a really interesting new trend that promises benefits such as increased scalability and reduced cost. Frameworks like Serverless Application Model (SAM) and Serverless Framework are increasingly used to build them. APIs are a natural part of serverless applications, and in AWS that typically is implemented using the AWS API Gateway backed by Lambdas that implement the actual API endpoint logic. Our research focused on API Gateway Lambda Authorizers. This is a feature that allows developers to use a custom authentication and authorization scheme that uses a bearer token authentication strategy (like JWTs, OAuth or SAML), or that uses request parameters to determine the caller's identity and enforce which API endpoints they are allowed to access. We will present (AFAIK novel) techniques to attack the authentication and authorization of APIs that use Lambda Authorizers. We show how IAM policy injection is possible in theory but highly unlikely in practice due to some good decisions by AWS. We also show a class of problems based on incorrect security assumptions baked into AWS' own documentation and Lambda Authorizer open source code templates. Sample source code will be provided to demonstrate all techniques.

Cloud Village activities will be streamed to YouTube.

The Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem holds tremendous promise to promote innovation and productivity, and societal benefits. Yet, with increased connectivity, concerns remain with the growing attack surface. While the DFECON community often focuses on the security aspects of these issues, the multidimensional nature of IoT devices and the combination of AI/ML solutions, sparked standardization activities focusing more generally on the concept of “IoT trustworthiness”. This talk will introduce the audience to the latest developments in the IoT Security Policy landscape, proposals for confidence/certifications mechanisms emerging globally, and key IoT Security baseline standards developments, while exploring the connection to the IoT trustworthiness concept across the IoT Supply Chain. We will describe a case study of IoT robustness and trustworthiness applied in context of AI and smart analytics, including the importance of characterizing the behavior of data.

Reverse engineering skills will serve you well in malicious software analysis, vulnerability discovery, exploit development, bypassing host-based protection, and in approaching many other interesting and useful problems in hacking. Being able to study how software works, without source code or documentation, will give you the confidence that there is nothing about a computer system you can't understand, if you simply apply enough time and effort. Beyond all of this: it's fun. Every malicious program becomes a new and interesting puzzle to "solve".

The purpose of this workshop is to introduce software reverse engineering to the attendees, using static and dynamic techniques with the Ghidra disassembler and WinDbg debugger. No prior experience in reverse engineering is necessary. There will be few slides--concepts and techniques will be illustrated within the Ghidra and WinDbg environments, and attendees can follow along with their own laptops and virtual environments. We will cover the following topics:

Software Reverse Engineering concepts and terminology Setting up WinDbg and Ghidra (and building the latter from source) The execution environment (CPU, Virtual Memory, Linking and Loading) C constructs, as seen in disassembled code Combining static and dynamic analysis to understand and document compiled binary code Methodology and approaches for reverse engineering large programs Hands-on malware analysis
How to approach a "new-to-you" architecture

Registration Link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-joy-of-reverse-engineering-learning-with-ghidra-and-windbg-jubilee-2-tickets-162215935229

Prerequisites
No previous reverse engineering experience required. Basic familiarity with programming in a high-level language is necessary (C preferred).

Materials needed:

We will be working with live malware samples. Depending on your comfort level with this, bring a "burner" laptop, use a clean drive, or plan on doing a clean install before and after the workshop.

Title: The Little Things
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 17:00 - 17:30 PDT
Where: Biohacking Village (Talk - Virtual)

SpeakerBio:MixĂŚl Laufer , Director of the Institute for Autonomous Medicine. Four Thieves Vinegar Collective.
No BIO available

Description:
Was 2020 not the best year for you? Has 2021 not been a huge improvement? Are you sick of being dependent on infrastructure which fails? Do you wish there was something to look forward to? The Four Thieves Vinegar Collective has been quiet, because we've been busy this last year. We have a lot of things to share.

But that's not what this talk is about. Instead of the new tools to eradicate diseases, tools to make medicines, ways to administer them, and DIY medical machinery, we're talking about just making it through the day.

There are tools which are not well known, but are easily accessible and can help you sleep better, not be hungover, clear brain fog, and take the edge off depression. These tools are not as well known as they should be, so we're talking about them.

Because as fun as the big things are, daily life is about the little things.

Title: The Mechanics of Compromising Low Entropy RSA Keys
When: Friday, Aug 6, 12:30 - 12:50 PDT
Where: Track 2 Live; DCTV/Twitch #2 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:Austin Allshouse
Austin Allshouse is a Research Scientist at BitSight where he applies information security, statistical modeling, and distributed computing concepts to develop quantitative methods of assessing security risk. He has a decade of experience researching the technologies and methodologies underpinning digital network surveillance systems.
Twitter: @AustinAllshouse

Description:
Over the past decade, there have been a number of research efforts (and DEFCON talks!) investigating the phenomenon of RSA keys on the Internet that share prime factors with other keys. This can occur when devices have poorly initialized sources of “randomness” when generating keys; making it trivial to factor the RSA modulus and recover the private key because, unlike large integer factorization, calculating the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two moduli can be fast and efficient. When describing their research, past hackers and researchers have attested that they “built a custom distributed implementation of Batch-GCD;” which seems like one hell of a detail to gloss over, right? This talk will detail a hacker's journey from understanding and implementing distributed batch GCD to analyzing findings from compromising RSA keys from network devices en masse.

Twitter: @mmurray

Description:
One of the constant debates in the medical device sector is around patching of medical devices. While the FDA issues clear guidance that devices can and should be patched, some device manufacturers often claim that the FDA is the reason that they can't issue patches, and the hospitals and healthcare organizations using the devices are left confused and accepting risk that they can't manage. With this panel, we will have the conversation out in front of the Defcon audience. Panelists will include representation from the FDA, a product security leader from a device manufacturer and a healthcare CISO with the goal being for the entire Defcon Biohacking Village audience to come away understanding what the truth really is about whether they can patch their devices, and how the sector can continue to move this conversation forward.

Joy is certified Internal Management Specialist, Internal Auditor & Certified Verification Professional – Lead Auditor of Taiwan Personal Information Protection & Administration System (TPIPAS), also Lead Auditor of ISO 27001.

Description:
Since all the messenger services emphasize the trust relationship between the service provider and users, technology companies have been actively strengthening user data protection and providing better encryption measures in recent years. However, focusing on criminal investigation, national security and Anti-terrorism, law enforcement agencies in many countries have begun to formulate rules requiring technology companies to cooperate with the government to provide user data decryption to protect national security. This presentation try to introduce relevant issues about the police monitoring legislation and individual privacy in chat from technical and legal perspectives and the special case study from Taiwan.

First , we would share some police investigation in TW. The methods and targets have been changed due to the evolution of times. Then we would dive into a new critical target - messengers apps. Discuss about the technical part of messengers apps and Police Monitoring possibility. There are some messengers which is popular in different regions. In these apps, not only personal information are stored in the data collector side - service provider, but also our private chat messages with our family and friends. The messenger app companies say they use point-to-point encryption (end-to-end encryption, E2EE) to technically protect user privacy, but actually each what is E2EE? What is the difference between messenger apps E2EE? And how’s it possible that there are some monitor(spying) apps clarify that they could reach to the data under E2EE scope? It makes the Police monitoring possible because many spying apps are existed. In this part we will also discuss about the technical part of privacy protection and spying. The discussion would then point out “what and how the police could really get in real world” from the technical perspective.

Secondly, we would start from Technology Investigation Act draft in Taiwan. On September 8, 2020, the Taiwan Ministry of Justice announced the draft Technology Investigation Act, which introduced different high-tech investigation approaches, including the “source telecommunications surveillance.” We will introduce the draft Technology Investigation Act and the source telecommunications surveillance ruled. The issues related to the access of individual communication content would be raised: (1) If public interest is the reason to get individual communication, what is the line between privacy protection and public interest?What is the legal basis to get individual communication? (2) Could Government request or compel technology companies to provide my communication content? (3) How about the encrypted one? Through the discussion of 3 questions above, this presentation would provide an example to see the accessible information of messengers by criminal investigation, hoping to find the balance between privacy protection and police investigation. The last but not the least, we would share a case study about the police in Taiwan use the personal information collected for COVID-19 measurements to investigate the case.

Title: The Unbelievable Insecurity of the Big Data Stack: An Offensive Approach to Analyzing Huge and Complex Big Data Infrastructures
When: Friday, Aug 6, 16:00 - 16:59 PDT
Where: DCTV/Twitch #3 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:Sheila A. Berta
Sheila A. Berta is an offensive security specialist who started at 12 years-old by learning on her own. At the age of 15, she wrote her first book about Web Hacking, published in several countries. Over the years, Sheila has discovered vulnerabilities in popular web applications and software, as well as given courses at universities and private institutes in Argentina.

As an international speaker, she has spoken at important security conferences such as Black Hat Briefings, DEF CON, HITB, Ekoparty, IEEE ArgenCon and others. Sheila currently works as Head of Research at Dreamlab Technologies.
Twitter: @UnaPibaGeek

Description:
Honoring the term, the variety of technologies in the Big Data stack is hugely BIG. Many complex components in charge of transport, storing, and processing millions of records make up Big Data infrastructures. The speed at which data needs to be processed and how quickly the implemented technologies need to communicate with each other make security lag behind. Once again, complexity is the worst enemy of security.

Today, when conducting a security assessment on Big Data infrastructures, there is currently no methodology for it and there are hardly any technical resources to analyze the attack vectors. On top of that, many things that are considered vulnerabilities in conventional infrastructures, or even in the Cloud, are not vulnerabilities in this stack. What is a security problem and what is not a security problem in Big Data infrastructures? That is one of the many questions that this research answers. Security professionals need to count on a methodology and acquire the necessary skills to competently analyze the security of such infrastructures.

This talk presents a methodology, and new and impactful attack vectors in the four layers of the Big Data stack: Data Ingestion, Data Storage, Data Processing and Data Access. Some of the techniques that will be exposed are the remote attack of the centralized cluster configuration managed by ZooKeeper; packet crafting for remote communication with the Hadoop RPC/IPC to compromise the HDFS; development of a malicious YARN application to achieve RCE; interfering data ingestion channels as well as abusing the drivers of HDFS-based storage technologies like Hive/HBase, and platforms to query multiple data lakes as Presto. In addition, security recommendations will be provided to prevent the attacks explained.

REFERENCES
I plan to release a white paper at the conference, in the white paper there will be all the references. Anyway, as the attacks are novel, the references are related to infrastructure stuff mostly, not so much about security.

Twitter: @gertjanbruggink

Description:
At the beginning of each year, companies share lessons learned and forecasts on what (cyber) threats are expected in the next 12 months. The reality is that a lot of teams and companies publish about this and you probably did not read all these articles or reports.

This talk explores the results of a meta-analysis on threat forecasting, based on open-source reports and articles. As a defender you constantly balance between pushing Jira tickets and looking ahead. By giving you a TLDR, defenders have context into what needs to be prioritised next to the daily operations.

This talk explores the concept of forecasting to help your cyber security program. Following concepts introduced in the book ‘Superforecasting: the art and science of prediction’ (Tetlock, Gardner), the average of multiple forecasts is usually the most accurate.

In preparation to this talk, all publicly available research released in Jan-April 2021 from companies on their expectations for 2021’ threat landscape has been analysed. This exercise resulted into a prioritised list of topics expected for 2021. This list is also actively tracked, to monitor if events already occurred and topics are more/less relevant. By giving you the TLDR, defenders have more context into what needs to be prioritised - next to the daily operations.

As a defender, there is always the constant balance where to focus your precious time. There is great value in looking ahead, yet this is hard when constantly pivoting between Jira tickets. Forecasting is just one way to look ahead and prepare yourself and your teams.

The objective of this talk is to provide defenders access to a larger narrative around cyber threats to support both business and senior stakeholder’s decision making. Providing more situational awareness. As a defender you constantly balance between pushing Jira tickets and looking ahead. This session supports keeping that balance.

Title: This Job Ad Sucks
When: Friday, Aug 6, 15:00 - 15:59 PDT
Where: Career Hacking Village (Talk)

SpeakerBio:Kirsten Renner
No BIO available

Description:
I'm mostly kidding, but not really. I have taught managers for years how to write better descriptions and candidates how to write better resumes, and I will continue to do that. I even spoke at multiple conferences over the last few years for that purpose. But the key is to have a way of getting around and through bad descriptions (and other road blocks), because I don't think we can ever really fix that problem completely. In other words, even though those obstacles exist and likely always will, there are ways to get through it, and that is what I will be presenting. In the same way that a poorly written resume is not a fair depiction of the potential a candidate has to offer, it just take a bit of coaching and, well, hacking, to get around road blocks in the system to make good matches between the opportunities and talent. This presentation isn’t going to offer a solution to making employers do a better job advertising for and determining the best fits for their openings - there's plenty of content out there for them to do that. It will however tell [the candidates] how to make it through bad descriptions, as well as less than effective interviewers and maybe it will even help them see the light! Looking for a job is an engineering problem. Gather the requirements, do some QA, launch (get out there) and keep updating!

Title: Threat Modeling for Space Hitchhikers
When: Friday, Aug 6, 12:00 - 12:25 PDT
Where: Aerospace Village (Virtual Talk)

SpeakerBio:James Pavur
James Pavur is a Rhodes Scholar and DPhil Student at Oxford University where he researches satellite cyber-security in the Department of Computer Science’s System Security Lab.

Description:
When you strap someone else’s satellite to your rocket, how much should you trust them? In this talk, we’ll explore threats relating to launch integration and the role of secondary payloads, such as CubeSats, in modern missions. The briefing combines strategic and policy perspectives with dynamic simulations exploring space-to-space radio attacks from compromise or malicious payloads. While it includes technical components, it assumes no prior experience with radio communications or aerospace.

Title: Time Turner - Hacking RF Attendance Systems (To Be in Two Places at Once)
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 12:00 - 12:20 PDT
Where: Track 2 Live; DCTV/Twitch #2 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:Vivek Nair
Vivek Nair is a Ph.D. student studying applied cryptography in the EECS department at UC Berkeley. He was the youngest-ever recipient of Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at the ages of 18 and 19 respectively. He is also a National Science Foundation CyberCorps Scholar and a National Physical Science Consortium Fellow.
https://github.com/VCNinc/Time-Turner

Description:
It's a tale as old as time: a graduating senior needs two more courses to graduate, but the lectures happen to be scheduled at the same time and the school's new high-tech wireless attendance tracking system makes it impossible to attend both courses... in theory. By reverse-engineering the attendance devices and emulating them using a hidden Arduino, the system can be tricked into giving attendance credit for both courses without being physically present. It's a real-life "time turner," allowing him to be in two places at once.

Title: Timeless Timing Attacks
When: Sunday, Aug 8, 13:00 - 13:59 PDT
Where: DCTV/Twitch #3 Pre-Recorded
Speakers:Mathy Vanhoef,Tom Van Goethem

SpeakerBio:Mathy Vanhoef
Mathy Vanhoef is a postdoctoral researcher at New York University Abu Dhabi. His research interest lies in computer security with a focus on network and wireless security (e.g. Wi-Fi), software security, and applied cryptography. In these areas Mathy tries to bridge the gap between real-world code and (protocol) standards. He previously discovered the KRACK attack against WPA2, the RC4 NOMORE attack against RC4, and the Dragonblood attack against WPA3.
Twitter: @vanhoefm

SpeakerBio:Tom Van Goethem
Tom Van Goethem is a researcher with the DistriNet group at KU Leuven in Belgium, mainly focusing on practical side-channel attacks against web applications and browsers. By exposing flaws that result from the unintended interplay of different components or network layers, Tom aims to bring us closer to a more secure web that we all deserve. He has spoken at various venues such as Black Hat USA and Asia, OWASP Global, and USENIX Security. In his spare time, Tom provides animal sculptures with pink tutus.
Twitter: @tomvangoethem

Description:
25 years ago, the first timing attacks against well-known cryptosystems such as RSA and Diffie-Hellman were introduced. By carefully measuring the execution time of crypto operations, an attacker could infer the bits of the secret. Ever since, timing attacks have frequently resurfaced, leading to many vulnerabilities in various applications and cryptosystems that do not have constant-time execution. As networks became more stable and low-latency, it soon became possible to perform these timing attacks over an Internet connection, potentially putting millions of devices at risk. However, attackers still face the challenge of overcoming the jitter that is incurred on the network path, as it obfuscates the real timing values. Up until now, an adversary would have to collect thousands or millions of measurements to infer a single bit of information.

In this presentation, we introduce a conceptually novel way of performing timing attacks that is completely resilient to network jitter. This means that remote timing attacks can now be executed with a performance and accuracy that is similar as if the attack was performed on the local system. With this technique, which leverages coalescing of network packets and request multiplexing, it is possible to detect timing differences as small as 100ns over any Internet connection. We will elaborate on how this technique can be launched against HTTP/2 webservers, Tor onion services, and EAP-pwd, a popular Wi-Fi authentication method.

Description:
The recent ransomware and cyber espionage campaigns prove that a fundamental redesign of our domestic cyber defensive posture is both necessary and urgent to protect against future cyber threats. As such, we believe the time is now to develop an integrated, networked approach to collaborative defense and intelligence analysis and sharing between the federal government, state and local governments, and the private sector. My team of student researchers and I conducted several interviews with stakeholders in both the state and federal governments and the private sector and poured over existing literature. We've created a roadmap toward this vision, answering how a 21st century threat can be tackled by the tools available in its own time. We don't purport to have all the answers, but we would be interested in feedback from the community on the feasiblity and desirability of these ideas.

Title: Towards Understanding the Unlimited Approval in Ethereum
When: Thursday, Aug 5, 21:00 - 20:59 PDT
Where: Blockchain Village (YouTube)

SpeakerBio:Dabao Wang , Research Assistant at Zhejiang University
DABAO WANG is currently a research assistant at Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China. His current research interests include Blockchain and DeFi security. Wang received a bachelor degree with honours in computer science from Monash University. Contact him at dabao.wang@monash.edu

Description:
With the prosperous development of the DeFi ecosystem, trading tokens in decentralized applications (DApps) has become more and more frequent. ERC20 tokens, as one of the most popular token types, vastly circulate in the crypto market and obtain great value. Ideally, to trade ERC20 tokens in DApps, users first invoke the method approve() to permit DApps or other users to transfer the expected amount of tokens based on the ERC20 standard. In reality, many DApps request unlimited approvals from users to improve user experience. Unfortunately, this design caused a considerable loss on both users or even DApps themself. For example, the design flaw of smart contracts might cause the permission leak of approved tokens (Bancor). Moreover, some malicious platforms even trick users into approving tokens so that they can easily steal users’ approved asserts (Unicat). In this paper, we carefully elaborate on the unlimited approval problem with five real-world incidents. We then conduct two types of measurements. As a result, 21 platforms require unlimited approval in their service. However, only 3 (out of 15) wallets and no (out of 27) platforms reveal sufficient information and provide the modification feature for users. Moreover, we discover that over half of the approval transactions belong to unlimited approval.

URL to any additional information:
https://aquasecurity.github.io/tracee/dev

Detailed Explanation of Tool:
Tracee is a Runtime Security and forensics tool for Linux. It is using Linux eBPF technology to trace your system and applications at runtime, analyze collected events to detect suspicious behavioral patterns, and capture forensics artifacts. It is delivered as a Docker image that monitors the OS and detects suspicious behavior based on a predefined set of behavioral patterns.

Here is a more detailed information about the tool: Tracee is a runtime security and forensics tool for Linux. It is composed of tracee-ebpf, which collects OS events based on some given filters, and tracee-rules, which is the runtime security detection engine.

Tracee-ebpf is capable of tracing all processes in the system or a group of processes according to some given filters (these are: newly created processes, processes in a container, uid, command name, pid, tid, mount namespace id, process namespace id, uts name).

The user can select the set of events to trace, and also filter by their arguments.

The events which can be traced include the following: System calls and their arguments
LSM hooks (e.g. security_file_open, security_bprm_check, cap_capable) Internal kernel functions: (e.g. vfs_write and commit_creds) Special events and alerts (magic_write and mem_prot_alert) Other than tracing, Tracee-ebpf is also capable of capturing files written to disk or memory (e.g. "fileless" malwares), and extracting binaries that are dynamically loaded to an application's memory (e.g. when a malware uses a packer). Using these capabilities, it is possible to automatically collect forensic artifacts for later investigation. For more detailed information about these capabilities, see: https://blog.aquasec.com/ebpf-contai...ware-detection

Tracee-Rules, is a rule engine that helps you detect suspicious behavioral patterns in streams of events. It is primarily made to leverage events collected with Tracee-eBPF into a Runtime Security solution. Tracee supports authoring rules in Golang or in Rego.

Following are some of the currently available rules: Code injection - Possible code injection into another process Dynamic Code Loading - Writing to executable allocated memory region Fileless Execution - Executing a process from memory, without a file in the disk Supporting Files, Code, etc:
https://github.com/aquasecurity/tracee

Target Audience: Defense
We believe Tracee is a valuable tool for anyone who want to perform runtime protection on Linux systems. In the demo we will introduce the tool, and see how it helped us to find real threats and other possible uses.

Description:
We all hope for a truly “post-COVID” world sooner rather than later, but that can only happen if we learn from the past and apply those lessons to our future. Our institutions and our people were unprepared for the harsh realities of the medical, scientific, economic and social demands that an emergency such as the COVID pandemic entails. Our national biodefense program had been steadily diminished while at the same time its focus was increasingly dedicated to human/terrorist threats over two decades. Our decentralized “public health” infrastructure was quickly shown to be simultaneously redundant and ineffective, and our national response was critically hampered by political agendas and rampant propaganda at the greatest scale ever witnessed in US history. Despite the tragic loss of more than 600,000 lives in the United States and millions worldwide, infectious disease experts know that it could have been much worse—and would have been, if the pathogen had been even slightly more deadly than the SARS-CoV-2 virus proved to be. Can we imagine the outcome if the COVID mortality rate was far greater than the 1.8% seen in the United States? What if coronavirus infections carried the same mortality rate as infectious encephalitis (100%), Ebola Zaire (25%-90%), or even smallpox in unvaccinated populations (>65%)? In this talk, we will discuss the history and future of biodefense with a specific focus on data, technology, communications, and the rapidly deteriorating concept of “truth.” Radicalization, misinformation, technology, the surveillance economy, information security, and personal privacy will all be discussed with an eye toward building back better, smarter, and more engaged institutions that are driven by better-prepared humans.

All Biohacking Village talks will be streamed to YouTube.

Title: UFOs: Misinformation, Disinformation, and the Basic Truth
When: Friday, Aug 6, 15:00 - 15:59 PDT
Where: Track 1 CLOSED; DCTV/Twitch #1 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:Richard Thieme AKA neuralcowboy
Richard Thieme, https://thiemeworks.com has addressed security and intelligence issues for 28 years. He has keynoted security conferences in 15 countries and given presentations for the NSA, FBI, Secret Service, Pentagon Security Forum, U.S. Department of the Treasury, and Los Alamos National Laboratory. He has been speaking at Def Con since Def Con 4. His sixth book, a novel, Mobius: A Memoir, about an intelligence professional looking back on his career and how it led down unexpected paths, is receiving rave reviews. He has explored UFO phenomena seriously for 43 years.
Twitter: @neuralcowboy

Description:
The talk, "UFOs and Government: A Historical Inquiry" given at Def Con 21 has been viewed thousands of times. It was a serious well-documented exploration of the UFO subject based on Thieme's participation in research into the subject with colleagues. The book of that name is the gold standard for historical research into the subject and is in 100+ university libraries.

This update was necessitated by recent UFO incidents and the diverse conversations triggered by them. Contextual understanding is needed to evaluate current reports from pilots and naval personnel, statements from senators and Pentagon personnel, and indeed, all the input from journalists who are often unfamiliar with the field and the real history of documented UFOs over the past 70 years.

Thieme was privileged to participate with scholars and lifelong researchers into the massive trove of reports. We estimate that 95% can be explained by mundane phenomena but the remainder suggest prolonged interaction with our planetary society over a long period. Thieme also knows that when you know you don't know something, don't suggest that you do. Stay with the facts, stay with the data. Sensible conclusions, when we do that, are astonishing enough.

Reality, as Philip K. Dick said, will not go away just because we refuse to believe in it.

Description:
We’ll explore vulnerabilities we’ve discovered in our IoT, IIoT, and ICS research to reveal the systemic problems that exist as a result of the fragmented supply chain, inconsistent configurations, and overall poor security standards found across the critical networks and devices. We'll then show how we have applied discoveries of these aberrant behaviors to ML algorithms to uncover the risky and potentially very damaging covert channels communicating with the outside world and the types of data being harvested along with the new attack surfaces that they offer.

Through the evolution of IoT, IIoT, and ICS networks we’ve been uncovering new risks and vulnerabilities. Most of these risks and vulnerabilities are so unpredictable when considering the fragmented supply chain of hardware, operating systems, and software; making signature-based and operating system-centric security solutions inadequate.

Leveraging the Active Cyber Defense framework and combining that with our homegrown ML, we’ve created our own approach to detecting aberrant network behavior through passive network monitoring to discover covert communications, rogue devices, emerging threats, and more. The analysis of protocols, device behavior, and network activity within these environments is critical and can aid investigators when responding to incidents that have national impacts. (For example, the recent Colonial Pipeline Ransomware Attack, and the Oldsmar Florida water poisoning attempt).

We’ll explore many vulnerabilities we’ve discovered in our IoT, IIoT, and ICS research to reveal the systemic problems that exist as a result of the fragmented supply chain, inconsistent configurations, and overall poor security standards found across the critical networks and devices. We will build upon our previous real-world examples and current threat research within this presentation and show how we have applied the discoveries of these aberrant behaviors to machine learning algorithms to uncover the risky and potentially very damaging covert channels communicating with the outside world and the types of data that is being harvested along with the new attack surfaces that they offer.

The combined lecture and demonstration will take a deep dive into the early identification of network activities that map to each stage of the cyber kill chain. We’ll also demo our open source and free Modbus TCP pcap analysis tool to identify malicious behaviors within ICS environments.

Description:
As organisations workflows move into the cloud we see a wider adoption of cloud based platforms like Google Cloud (GCP). While cloud based platforms offer a higher level of scalability critical aspects into security can fall to the sidelines. With cybersecurity attacks on the rise in the cloud space (Gitlab-blog, Rhino-security-blog) we have to make sure all our applications hosted on cloud infrastructure like GCP are kept safe. The talk starts with the common service misconfiguration like open buckets and moves to advanced and GCP specific services like, gcloud container registry. This talk not only covers the offensive side but also covers the defensive side where the audience will see demonstration of how those vulnerabilities can be mitigated. GCP Goat is an intentionally vulnerable project which consists of common misconfiguration in the Google Cloud that is open source for the audience to test their newly learned information after the talk. By the end of the talk the audience will have a better understanding of the common threat surface on GCP and How they can mitigate it.

When: Saturday, Aug 7, 12:00 - 13:50 PDT
Where: DemoLab Video Channel 2

SpeakerBio:Luca Bongiorni
Luca Bongiorni is working as Head of Offensive Security. He is also actively involved in InfoSec where his main fields of research are: Radio Networks, Reverse Engineering, Hardware Hacking, Internet of Things, and Physical Security. He also loves to share his knowledge and present some cool projects at security conferences around the globe.

Description:
Tool or Project Name: USBsamurai

Short Abstract:
During this talk, after a bit of history of hardware implants, will be presented a new hacking device: USBsamurai. A remotely-controlled USB HID injecting cable that costs less than 10 EUR to produce from off-the-shelf components (a cable and a USB radio transceiver) that can be used to compromise targets remotely (i.e. over a 2.4GHz undetectable protocol) in the stealthiest way ever seen & also bypass Air-Gapped Environments like a boss!

Extended Version:
During the last years, hardware implants have become a popular attack vector in air-gapped environments such as industrial networks: Stuxnet (2010), Operation Copperfield (2017), and the recent ransomware attack that has led to a shutdown in a US natural gas facility are only some notable cases. In parallel, in an effort to raise the bar of red-teaming operations, security researchers have been designing and releasing powerful open-source devices with the intent to make Red-Teaming operations even more interesting and disruptive. Smoothing the path to new TTPs and improving old ones. As a result, hardware implants should always be included in the threat modeling of an industrial facility. During this talk, after a bit of history of hardware implants, will be presented a new hacking device: USBsamurai. A remotely-controlled USB HID injecting cable that costs less than 10 EUR to produce from off-the-shelf components (a cable and a USB radio transceiver) that can be used to compromise targets remotely (i.e. over a 2.4GHz undetectable protocol) in the stealthiest way ever seen & also bypass Air-Gapped Environments like a boss!

This presentation will be quite technical, tailored for an ICS security audience. Come to this talk to start preparing for the next wave of attacks that can pass undetected by most of the existing security solutions available on the market.

Finally, I'll conclude the talk with practical, actionable countermeasures to prevent and detect HID attacks, and conclude by explaining how to approach a forensics analysis in presence of USB implants.

Detailed Explanation of Tool:
USBsamurai is a DIY hardware implant disguised as USB cable that allows to remotely inject over an undetectable RF channel an agent in memory that allows a remote threat actor to get a realtime shell over a target that can also be air-gapped. In practice a nightmare for any BlueTeam out there. Have you ever seen an USB cable that can bypass an air-gapped system and return a live remote-shell over an undetectable RF channel? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BAzD27k_Gk (Please keep it confidential because the link is unlisted)

Target Audience:
Offense, Hardware, ICS

Create awareness on Hardware Implants. The real ones. Not the grain of rice from Bloomberg's article. ;]

During the years I have tested multiple DLP solutions out there claiming to sanitize and protect assets from USB-related threats. Surprisingly, most of the time vendors kinda lie (or... saying in a more polite way... they forget about HID class of devices).

Security Officers MUST understand that hardware implants exist and they don't cost anymore like 10,000 $USD like NSA's TAO FIREWALK implant!

Finally, in pure DEF CON style, sharing how to create an offensive hardware implant out of a 10$ USB dongle from a commercial mouse, it is always a good way to spread knowledge among fellow hackers. :)

Description:
What is a PortaProg and why would I use it? You can use the PortaProg for flashing firmware to a wide range of Atmel chips using the ISP or UPDI interfaces. It can also read/write FUSES, and access EEPROM. It can flash a chip interactively during development or from its on-board SPIFFS storage at the bench or in the field. The talk will demonstrate it being used for rapid programming of ATTiny badges, performing an update to an ATMega device in the field, and dumping the firmware from an Ardiuno based device without a computer. You will also see how the PortProg has spawned a 3D printed plug-and-play test jig design …. or just attend to see if the demos crash and burn.

Description:
As a high-profile public-sector organization, the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration deals with criminals claiming to be representatives of the organization and contacting the public with phishing e-mails every day. By using Splunk and RFC’s like, RFC7208 – Sender Policy Framework (SPF) for Authorizing Use of Domains in Email, we have developed a technique to identify phishing attacks that are carried out under the disguise of the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration.

We start with a short introduction to protocols available to secure e-mail. Securing e-mail means making it more difficult to intercept e-mails in transport and perform phishing attacks. After that, we present some real-life phishing examples pointing to how finding the phishers would have been much easier. The same applies to the Notice and Take Downs for the phishing sites. We continue by introducing the secure e-mail standards like STARTTLS, Sender Policy Framework (SPF), Domain Identified Keys (DKIM), Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC), SMTP Security via Opportunistic DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE), SMTP Mail Transfer Agent Strict Transport Security (MTA-STS) on which the technique detecting phishing attacks is based on. Here we present how all secure e-mail protocols work together to be able to monitor e-mail traffic for potential phishing attacks. You can get information about the senders' e-mail address, sender’s MTA and the recipient’s MTA. Both the receiving and the sending MTAs are not located within your infrastructure. Passive DNS intelligence and Shodan are used for the enrichment of the IP addresses. We have implemented these techniques in Splunk, including various dashboards, searches, and lookups. But the implementation can be done in either which log management system, for instance, ElasticSearch. Also, a wizard has been created to facilitate the generation of the TXT records for your DNS zone file. The implementation we have created in Splunk is downloadable from GitHub for free. The Splunk App contains all necessary dashboards, searches, lookups to get a quick start. Also, a wizard is included to create the DNS TXT records, which can be complicated. In principle, an e-mail track-and-trace system has been built using Splunk and DNS logs.

SpeakerBio:Lisa Forte
Lisa Forte is a European social engineering and insider threat expert. She runs cyber crisis simulations for large companies to help them prepare for attacks of all types. She actually started her security career stopping pirates off the coast of Somalia.

Lisa a passionate about two things: tech for good and that pineapple on pizza should be banned by the United Nations.

She is a proud Italian/ Brit and has won numerous awards for her contributions in tech. Little known fact she actually once auditioned for Cirque Du Soleil.

When she is not working you can usually find her exploring abandoned mines or hanging off the side of a cliff somewhere.


Description:
We talk a lot about that “quick and dirty” social engineering but there is a much scarier, longer term attack that yields far more damage. Instead of that persuasive email or that one hugely urgent phone call these attacks are aimed at turning your key staff from loyal employees into insider threats- Without your knowledge and even without theirs.

How can loyal, hard working staff be convinced to acquire and exfiltrate sensitive commercial data? It all starts with a friend request.

Title: Velociraptor - Dig Deeper
When: Friday, Aug 6, 10:45 - 11:45 PDT
Where: Blue Team Village - Main Track (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Mike Cohen
Dr. Mike Cohen has over 20 years of experience in applying and developing novel incident response and digital forensics tools and techniques. He has previously worked in the Australian Department of Defence as an information security specialist, at the Australian Federal Police specialising in digital forensics, network and memory forensics, and spent 8 years in Google developing tools such as GRR and Rekall. In 2018, Mike founded the Velociraptor project, an advanced open source DFIR framework. Mike has recently joined Rapid7 to promote and further develop Velociraptor into a fully featured enterprise DFIR toolkit.
Twitter: @velocidex

Description:
The recent increase in network compromises and sophistication of attackers has underscored the need to rapidly identify and remediate attacks at a large scale across the enterprise. Having the ability to rapidly collect, detect and remediate across a network is a game changer for any Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) team. It provides unprecedented visibility into the state of the endpoint and the ability to tailor responses as the investigation evolves. Having this capability in an open-source tool that allows for truly surgical collection – at speed, at scale and free – is a triple bonus.

Velociraptor is fast becoming the standard DFIR tool for hunting at scale. Featuring a powerful query language called VQL, allowing for rapidly adapting to fluid DFIR introsions, Velociraptor places unprecedented reach, flexibility and power in the hands of responders.

Unlike more traditional remote forensic tools which collect large amounts of raw data for offline processing, VQL allows defenders to perform analysis directly on the endpoint. This new approach allows defenders to collect only high value, tactical information to affect their response, and leverage current state of the art digital forensic analysis techniques into detection.

This talk will provide some examples of Velociraptor's use in typical DFIR scenarios, such as compromise assessment, wide spread remediation and rapid response. Specifically, we examine the process of going from a detection idea, writing the VQL to detect it and then hunting a large network (10k+ hosts) to identify the compromised hosts in minutes. Finally we illustrate how these custom detections can be elevated to real time monitoring rules (also implemented by VQL) to allow the endpoint to autonomously detect future compromises even while being offline!

Velociraptor is the open source DFIR tool the industry has been crying out for - making large scale DFIR fast, efficient and surgical!

Presentation outline

Problem statement
Have you ever tried to hunt a large network to quickly identify and remediate an ongoing attack on your network? You probably found that traditional DFIR techniques, such as parsing the ntfs filesystem for evidence of deleted files, parsing prefetch files for evidence of past program execution or yara scanning large numbers of files simply do not scale to many thousands of endpoints.

Introducing Velociraptor - deployment architecture and overview This talk introduces the new standard in opensource DFIR investigations - Velociraptor. This tool simplifies and streamlines many of the common tasks in traditional DFIR investigation - dealing efficiently with scale.

Example of simple - pre packaged detections - 1 -2 slides Would you like to hunt executions of lolbins (living off the land binaries) within a certain time window and in short succession? No problem - Velociraptor can query all your endpoints and will answer within minutes.

What makes this work? VQL introduction
Velociraptor is driven by a unique query language called VQL. This language underpins all Velociraptor's features and allows users to customize their investigations by applying VQL to both control Velociraptor and to adapt to detecting new adversary tools and techniques.

The real game changer with Velociraptor is enabling defenders to go from a blog post, or some research about a new vulnerability or attack technique to a high quality detection, and then proceed to hunt across a vast network in minutes.

Case studies walk through (each case about 10 min) This talk will walk though some of these examples (specific examples may change/revise before the talk):

Scan the NTFS USN journal for webshell install activity within the past days Build a dynamic file parser in VQL for a new file format just presented by a blog post (e.g. powershell readline history file https://0xdf.gitlab.io/2018/11/08/powershell-history-file.html or a similar example)

The talk will go through the process of building a query from scratch - reading public information about a detection technique, writing some VQL to identify the IOC on a compromised system, then running a hunt on 10k+ machines to identify the compromised hosts. All this will be done using open source tools and freely available resources!

Post hunt analysis - post processing with VQL We then tour the Velociraptor GUI and see how to quickly examine the compromised endpoints for further triage and remediation. We can interactively collect files, registry keys and raw NTFS artifacts directly through a familiar GUI.

VQL event monitoring - unique on host detection (2-3 slides) Finally we discuss VQL's unique real time monitoring capabilities. Unlike other query languages in endpoint tools, the VQL query does not need to have a finite run time. Instead it is possible to write a query which monitors for new events permanently. These "Event Monitoring Queries" can be used to build real time detections for future events.

This novel approach really changes the current state of the art in detection and response. Currently, EDR tools forward events from the endpoint to a central SIEM with backend automated detections raising escalations for operators to manually go back and try to collect additional information from the endpoint or remediate it. This leads to long OODA loop times and increases the time between compromise and response.

VQL event monitoring queries are powerful queries that bring the response to the end point. Once installed, the query codes a "response plan" whereby the endpoint already knows what to do if a certain condition is met, even if the endpoint is offline! We term this an autonomous response plan.

Follow through to implement the above examples as monitoring queries (2 slides per example) In the talk, we will follow through some of these examples into the next logical step, which is to deploy event monitoring queries on all endpoints to prevent future compromise. That is, we go from a detection query that tells us when run if the EP is compromised to an event query that will automatically respond in the future when the EP becomes compromised with the same vector! This is unprecedented!

Conclusion and call to action
Velociraptor is an open source DFIR tool bursting on the scene in 2019 (we initially presented it at the SANS 2019 DFIR summit) but since then, there have been many features added and the tool is now quickly becoming the standard DFIR tool to use for triage, detection and remediation.

Title: Voting Village Keynote Remarks
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 10:00 - 10:30 PDT
Where: Voting Village (Talks - Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Thomas Hicks
Thomas Hicks was nominated by President Barack H. Obama and confirmed by unanimous consent of the United States Senate on December 16, 2014 to serve on the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC). He has served as chairman of the commission for two terms. Commissioner Hicks has focused his efforts on voter access. Under his leadership, the EAC developed a pocket-sized voter card that serves as a guide on voting rights for voters with disabilities. The card is provided in both Braille and large print. The EAC has worked with advocacy groups and election officials to distribute the card.

In addition, Mr. Hicks has addressed the difficulties overseas voters have when requesting and returning their ballots, such as dealing with foreign IP addresses and issues with timely ballot delivery. He worked with key states to set up a help desk. Now, overseas voters receive an email response directing them to the help desk to obtain their ballots.

He serves as the designated federal officer for the Board of Advisors.

Mr. Hicks is a frequent speaker at conferences in the United States and overseas on issues such as voter access and cybersecurity.

Prior to his appointment with EAC, Commissioner Hicks served as a senior elections counsel and minority elections counsel on the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on House Administration, a position he held from 2003 to 2014. In this role, Mr. Hicks was responsible for issues relating to campaign finance, election reform, contested elections and oversight of both the U.S. Election Assistance Commission and the Federal Election Commission. His primary responsibility was advising and providing guidance to the committee members and caucus on election issues. Mr. Hicks has talked with Americans in every state about their voting experiences. In addition, he has worked with state and local election officials across America to address critical election concerns.

Prior to joining the U.S. House of Representatives, Mr. Hicks served as a senior lobbyist and policy analyst from 2001 to 2003 for Common Cause, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that empowers citizens to make their voices heard in the political process and to hold their elected leaders accountable to the public interest. Mr. Hicks has enjoyed working with state and local election officials, civil rights organizations and all other stakeholders to improve the voting process.

Mr. Hicks served from 1993 to 2001 in the Clinton administration as a special assistant and legislative assistant in the Office of Congressional Relations for the Office of Personnel Management. He served as agency liaison to the United State Congress and the president’s administration on matters regarding federal personnel policies and regulations.

Mr. Hicks received his J.D. from the Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law and his B.A. in Government from Clark University (Worcester, MA). He also studied at the University of London (London, England) and law at the University of Adelaide (Adelaide, Australia).

Title: Vulnerability Exchange: One Domain Account For More Than Exchange Server RCE
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 18:00 - 18:59 PDT
Where: DCTV/Twitch #3 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:Tianze Ding
Tianze Ding is a senior security researcher at Tencent Security Xuanwu Lab. His research focuses on web security, active directory security and red teaming. He reported some vulnerabilities to Microsoft, Apple, Google, etc. He has spoken at BlackHat Asia.
Twitter: @D1iv3

Description:
Microsoft Exchange Server is one of the most famous mail servers in the world. It not only stores a large amount of sensitive corporate information, but also plays an important role in Microsoft Active Directory, so it has become a high-value target for both APT groups and red teams.

In the past few months, some high-risk vulnerabilities in Exchange Server have been exposed, which mainly target vulnerable ASP.NET code. But the architecture of Exchange Server is complicated, and its attack surface is not limited to ASP.NET, this talk will analyze and attack Exchange Server from a different perspective.

I will share the following two new vulnerabilities I found, as well as the new attack surfaces and how I chained several techniques to successfully exploit them in detail.

  1. One of them can result in arbitrary mailbox takeover, attackers can read emails, download attachments, send emails, etc. as any Exchange user.
  2. The other can lead to remote code execution on Exchange Server, attackers can gain local administrator privileges and execute arbitrary commands. Furthermore, there is an interesting point, even if you have applied the latest Exchange Server patches, your Exchange Server may still be compromised by this type of attack.

For red teams, Exchange Server RCE is only the beginning. Usually, there are some high-privileged domain users and groups on Exchange Server, I will also introduce a new method in depth to help you perform lateral movement and even privilege escalation to Domain Admin after achieving Exchange Server RCE.

These vulnerabilities have been reported to MSRC and the exploit tools will be released after the talk.

Title: Warping Reality - creating and countering the next generation of Linux rootkits using eBPF
When: Friday, Aug 6, 17:00 - 17:59 PDT
Where: DCTV/Twitch #3 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:PatH
Pat is a loving partner, a comedian to his daughter, and a dedicated ball retriever to his dog.

When he's not spending time being those things, he's a senior security researcher at a public cybersecurity company. Having previously worked as a low-level software dev, he now helps threat hunters uncover and stop advanced actors across the globe.

Twitter: @pathtofile
https://path.tofile.dev/

Description:
With complete access to a system, Linux kernel rootkits are perfectly placed to hide malicious access and activity. However, running code in the kernel comes with the massive risk that any change to a kernel version or configuration can mean the difference between running successfully and crashing the entire system. This talk will cover how to use extended Berkley Packet Filters (eBPF) to create kernel rootkits that are safe, stable, stealthy, and portable.

eBPF is one of the newest additions to the Linux kernel, designed to easily load safe, constrained, and portable programs into the kernel to observe and make decisions about network traffic, syscalls, and more. But that’s not it’s only use: by creating eBPF programs that target specific processes we can warp reality, presenting a version of a file to one program and a different version to another, all without altering the real file on disk. This enables techniques such as presenting a backdoor user to ssh while hiding from sysadmins, or smuggling data inside connections from legitimate programs. This talk will also cover how to use these same techniques in malware analysis to fool anti-sanbox checks.

These ideas and more are explored in this talk alongside practical methods to detect and prevent this next generation of Linux rootkits.

Title: Watch Out! And just skip the packer
When: Friday, Aug 6, 16:30 - 17:59 PDT
Where: Blue Team Village - Workshop Track 2 (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Felipe Duarte
Malware researcher, CEH, GREM, electronics geek, IoT enthusiast, programmer, drone lover and machine learning fan. Just hunting malware for fun!
Twitter: @dark0pcodes

Description:
Analyzing malware is not an easy task. It is a slow process that becomes even more challenging with all the different protections added by threat actors to hide their secrets.

Several techniques could be used to obscure malicious code, however one of the first and most commonly used are the packers. Nowadays, almost every malicious piece of code uses a packer; so, if you really want to understand its inner workings you must first defeat its packer. But do you know how to get rid of this defense without losing your mind? Well, join me and we will find out.

Malware remains as one of the most effective tools used by cyber criminals to commit fraud. Far from now are the days in which viruses were just jokes. And, it is not me being dramatic, just look at the news and you will see that this situation is getting worse every day.

There are several reasons that make these threats successful, including but not limited to:

Launching a malware attack is NOT rocket science, you can find open source or leaked code on Github and even tutorials on Youtube. They come in different flavors according to your needs, from very simple keyloggers to highly modular botnets that can be updated on the fly. If you don’t want to deal with technical stuff, you can even buy malware-as-a-service (and you could get 24/7 support). For us as defenders, understanding the technical details of these type of threats is not an easy task, it requires specialized tools and skills and even with those, be aware that bad guys will always try to obscure their creations to slow down the analysis. This sounds scary, and especially intimidating if it is your first time dealing with these "creatures"; but it is not the end of the world, we just need to adapt and overcome these challenges.

Join me in this workshop if you want to learn several techniques that will help you to get rid of the first and most common type of defense implemented by malware to hide its secrets (packers/crypters). Let's remove their armors and see what is hidden behind!

Description:
What can machine learning do for security? A number of things. One major challenge is determining what’s normal and what’s malicious. Machine learning can help with this. For example, ML techniques are used in spam filtering scan email. Machine learning is also being applied to other areas like network traffic monitoring and malware analysis and has potential to detect zero days exploits. However, machine learning isn't magic. We discuss some of the limitations of machine learning, and how problems like false positives can be mitigated.

Most of us have heard vendors promoting products that use "machine learning." But what does that mean? This is a general introduction to machine learning concepts and a discussion of applications to security. We begin by talking about commonly used terminology – what are artificial intelligence, neural networks, machine learning, and deep learning? How do they work?

What can machine learning do for security? A number of things. One major challenge is determining what’s normal and what’s malicious. Machine learning can help with this. For example, ML techniques are used in spam filtering scan email. Large email providers, e.g., Google and Yahoo, have intelligent systems that can create new spam filtering rules based on automated learning.

Machine learning is also being applied to other areas like network traffic monitoring and malware analysis. Traditional network intrusion detection (NIDS) and malware identification involve rules and signatures, where behavior associated with known threats is identified. But what about new threats, such as zero-day exploits? Anomaly-based detection compares traffic to normal behavior, and has the potential to detect previously unknown attacks with no established signature. We present some examples of freely available machine learning software and walk through some simple use cases.

However, machine learning isn't magic, and it has its limitations. The quality of the training data significantly affects the quality of the results, and training data needs to be updated to reflect changes in relationships and new data points. False positives can consume a lot of analysts' time and lead to alert fatigue. We discuss some techniques, e.g. cross-domain correlation, to reduce the number of false positives.

What is "machine learning?" * Definition * How does it work? * What is a neural network? * Common machine learning terminology explained * Supervised vs unsupervised learning * Different kinds of machine learning * Examples of machine learning and security Classification problem * What’s normal? What’s malicious? * Example: spam filtering
* Example: network traffic analysis * Traditional NIDS involves rules/signatures * Anomaly detection NIDS (ADNIDS) compares traffic to normal patterns * Example: Behavior-based Malware Analysis * Common AV malware detection involves signatures (patterns related to known behavior) * What about zero-day exploits or malware that can morph? Attack behaviors are different from normal behaviors * Unusual system calls * Writing stolen data to files, registry manipulation, etc * Unusual network traffic (e.g. command and control) * Destinations (lots of unexplained traffic to a particular destination) * Payloads (C&C traffic likely has similar structure) * Software currently using machine learning for security * Examples: spam filters, Splunk Limitations of machine learning * Training data * False positives / alert fatigue * Mitigating false positives Future directions in machine learning and security

SpeakerBio:Vee
No BIO available

Description:
If we do not have it we should build it.- If nothing goes right, push left.

TL;DR: Your logs should be simple, and structured, they should also contain enough information without disclosing sensitive data. Often accidental information disclosure within the logs can lead to future breaches. This talk focuses on the process of building logs taking into consideration the attack, the defense, and the investigation of breaches. Using the ideals from The Unicorn and The Phoenix project to develop the "Five Philosophies of Logging". This talk explores different aspects of logging pulling from years of experience of breach investigations and magic-wielding.

Title: When Penetration Testing Isn’t Penetration Testing At All
When: Friday, Aug 6, 10:00 - 10:30 PDT
Where: IoT Village (Talk - Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Ted Harrington
Ted Harrington is the #1 best selling author of HACKABLE: How to Do Application Security Right, and the Executive Partner at Independent Security Evaluators (ISE), the company of ethical hackers famous for hacking cars, medical devices, web applications, and password managers. He’s helped hundreds of companies fix tens of thousands of security vulnerabilities, including Google, Amazon, and Netflix. Ted has been featured in more than 100 media outlets, including The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, and Forbes. His team founded and organizes IoT Village, an event whose hacking contest is a three-time DEF CON Black Badge winner. He hosts the Tech Done Different podcast.

Description:
When companies want to build secure IoT systems, they know they need to test their system for security flaws, which typically leads them to seek out “penetration testing.” However, this term has become so misused across the security community that it’s hard to decipher what is really happening.

So where does that leave you? What is your security testing program actually doing (and not doing)?

In this keynote, you’ll learn the often widely misunderstood difference about what penetration testing is (and is not). Drawing insights from the #1 bestselling book Hackable, you’ll learn why the distinction matters, and you’ll get an insight into the more advanced tactics used by ethical hackers, such as functionality abuse and exploit chaining. By design, this keynote is more strategic rather than technical, and will equip you with insights to think differently about your security testing program. As a result, you’ll leave with new ideas about how to build better, more secure systems.


IoT Village talks will be streamed to Twitch. Select speakers may be available in the IoT Village on-site to answer questions.

Title: WhoC - Peeking under the hood of CaaS offerings
When: Friday, Aug 6, 14:05 - 14:35 PDT
Where: Cloud Village (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Yuval Avrahami
Yuval Avrahami is a Principal Security Researcher at Palo Alto Networks, dealing with hacking and securing anything related to containers and cloud. Yuval is a veteran of the Israeli Air Force, where he served in the role of a researcher.
Twitter: @yuval_avrahami

Description:
Running your business-critical applications on the public cloud involves trust. You trust your cloud provider to separate your workloads from other customers' workloads. You trust your cloud provider to patch and update their software and hardware stack. For those of us with trust issues, blindly running our applications in the public cloud can be tough. Fortunately, trust can be earned through visibility, and that's where WhoC can help. WhoC provides a bit of visibility into how Container-as-a-Service (CaaS) offerings run our containers. WhoC (Who Contains) is a container image that upon execution extracts the underlying container runtime. It doesn't try to identify the underlying runtime based on the container's cgroup configuration, the existence of a '.dockerenv' file or any other known trick. WhoC exfiltrates the actual container runtime binary from the underlying host. In this talk Yuval will walk you through how WhoC works and show a demo running WhoC in a popular CaaS offering. You'll learn a surprising truth: Linux containers can actually access one host file - the container runtime.

Cloud Village activities will be streamed to YouTube.

Title: Why does my security camera scream like a Banshee? Signal analysis and RE of a proprietary audio-data encoding protocol
When: Sunday, Aug 8, 13:00 - 13:45 PDT
Where: Track 2 Live; DCTV/Twitch #2 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:Rion Carter
Rion likes to solve interesting problems- the more esoteric and niche the better! He has varied interests ranging from software development and reverse-engineering to baking and recipe hacking. Rion currently works in DevSecOps where he and his colleagues wonder how they'll be rebranded next (DevSecBizFinOps?). Rumor has it that he bakes a mean batch of fudge brownies.

Description:
All I wanted was a camera to monitor my pumpkin patch for pests, what I found was a wireless security camera that spoke with an accent and asked to speak with my fax machine. Join me as I engage in a signals analysis of the Amiccom 1080p Outdoor Security Camera and hack the signal to reverse engineer the audio tones used to communicate and configure this inexpensive outdoor camera. This journey takes us through spectrum-analysis, APK decompiling, tone generation in Android and the use of Ghidra for when things REALLY get hairy.

Description:
Vulnerabilities in US election infrastructure not only expose the nation’s elections to hybrid physical and network attacks, but its voters to influence campaigns designed to cast doubt in the process itself. Authoritarian regimes such as Russia, Iran, and China are capable of conducting both sophisticated disinformation operations and cyber campaigns, and using both methods can be a particularly effective strategy for disrupting an election. Despite significant attention and more (but insufficient) funding in recent years, the overall defensive posture of election infrastructure operators lags behind the offensive cyber capabilities of sophisticated adversaries and criminals.

Elections are not alone. Other critical infrastructure sectors have sustained major disruptions because of cyber attacks like ransomware. However, elections are unique in that a sizable segment of the American public views the electoral process suspiciously and is primed to believe any errors or inconsistencies presented that supports that belief. As a result, adversaries now have at least three distinct attack strategies at their disposal: quietly change enough actual ballots to alter the outcome of a contest, loudly manipulate a small number of ballots to provide “evidence” of a systemic failure to suspicious voters, or launch a pure perception hack through the dissemination of false information to convince voters of widespread fraud absent any evidence.

By analyzing state-backed government messaging across various information mediums using a tool called Hamilton, researchers can track narratives and topics promoted by Russian, Chinese, and Iranian government officials and state-funded media. These trends can help provide context and insights into publicly-available information of breaches, ransomware, or other related attacks against election infrastructure. Election officials and network defenders can work together to improve the resilience of the most important component of the electoral system: voters.

Title: Wibbly Wobbly, Timey Wimey – What's Really Inside Apple's U1 Chip
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 11:00 - 11:59 PDT
Where: DCTV/Twitch #3 Pre-Recorded
Speakers:Alexander Heinrich,jiska

SpeakerBio:Alexander Heinrich
Alexander is a security researcher at the Secure Mobile Networking Lab at the Technical University of Darmstadt. Before he joined the university as a researcher he gained a lot of experiences an an app developer on Apple operating systems starting with iOS 5. This deep understanding of the systems naturally resulted in a focus on those systems in his security research. He joined the Secure Mobile Networking Lab 2020 as a PhD student right after his Master Thesis on the security of Apple’s Handoff and Universal Clipboard features. After working with a team of skilled researchers on AirDrop and Apple’s Find My network his focus now shifted to the security and privacy of ultra-wideband and Apple U1 chip.
Twitter: @Sn0wfreeze

SpeakerBio:jiska
jiska breaks things.
Twitter: @naehrdine

Description:
Apple introduced an Ultra Wideband (UWB) chip in the iPhone 11. Its cryptographically secured spatial measurement capabilities are accessible via the Nearby Interaction framework since iOS 14. As of now, it only supports interaction with other Apple devices including the latest Apple Watch and HomePod mini. These are the first steps to support UWB in a larger ecosystem, as measuring precise distance and direction can be an enabler for various future applications. The automotive industry already announced UWB support for mobile car keys on the iPhone.

But what’s really inside Apple’s U1 chip, internally called Rose? In this talk, we will travel through time, space, firmware and kernel components—and fight daemons to modify firmware interaction from user space. This will not only cover one or two, but three firmwares that process or forward each Rose time measurement: The Rose Digital Signal Processor (DSP), Rose Application Processor (AP), and the Always-On Processor (AOP).

There's almost nothing known about UWB on the iPhones... So the only reference is this: https://support.apple.com/guide/security/ultra-wideband-security-sec1e6108efd/web

Title: WiFi Kraken Lite
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 14:00 - 15:50 PDT
Where: DemoLab Video Channel 2

SpeakerBio:Henry Hill
Henry Hill is an expert with computer hardware and is able to design and build the most bleeding edge systems that are the fastest in the world. His internal knowledge of architecture and system bottlenecks help him build systems capable of extreme processing and even faster storage. Henry is also an expert with mechanical engineering and fabrication. When his modifications aren’t appearing in d4rkm4tter’s projects, they can be seen in his race car at the track.

Description:
Tool or Project Name: The WiFi Kraken Lite

Short Abstract:
D4rkm4tter and Henry have been obsessed with monitoring wireless networks and have built hardware to meet the challenges of scanning and testing in the most busy and client dense environments. The WiFi-Kraken Lite contends with these issues in a smaller package without sacrificing any monitoring performance. This project is the results of years of research into the most effective way to scan and audit wireless in a single box that can be easily deployed or used as a hardened terminal in the most rugged conditions.

The WiFi-Kraken Lite consists of a single-board computer which connects 12 wireless radios that enables scanning and auditing WiFi, Bluetooth, LoRaWAN and other commonly used wireless protocols. The number of wireless devices is growing as well as the way those devices are being connected. Having an all-in-one wireless monitoring solution will give you the ability to track this data across these bands and give you the best picture of what’s happening in the air around you.

This demonstration will provide you the information so that you can build your own all-in-one monitoring device. You will also gain an overview of capture technologies including Kismet that will help you perform this type of analysis in your own environments. Finally once the data is capture, you will get an understanding of efficient data processing using tools like Wireshark and d4rkm4tter’s own PCAPinator tool.

Short Developer Bio:
Mike Spicer (d4rkm4tter) is a mad scientist hacker who likes to meddle with hardware and software. He is particularly obsessed with wireless. He has a degree in computer science which he has put to use building and breaking a wide array of systems.

Detailed Explanation of Tool:
The WiFi-Kraken Lite is a wireless monitoring system that is a rugged box with a single board computer and 12 wireless devices that are capable of simultaneously monitoring a large number of frequencies and protocols while storing that data in real time. The primary motivation for this project was to be able to gain visibility into as much of the wireless spectrum as possible in very congested networks in a small rugged form factor. Networks with a large number of clients that have a large number of access points can be difficult to perform analysis on. These networks typically have clients who switch between networks and can switch frequencies lending to more confusion when tracking with only a single radio. By increasing the number of radios as well as adding support for other protocols beyond just WiFi, a more complete understanding of the wireless environment can be documented. This information can then be used for defenders or penetration testers to identify vulnerable networks, vulnerable clients, or verify security that can be easily documented and audited.

The hardware is set up so that it minimizes the number of bottlenecks between the actual frames in the air and when it writes the data to disk. It does this by taking advantage of the high-bandwidth PCI-express bus to connect wireless devices. From there the data transfers to a high-speed NVMe storage device. The operating system is Linux which allows us to take advantage of a number of open source tools and projects that help us capture the data. These projects include Kismet, BlueZ, btscanner, and Feather TFT LoRa Sniffer. Custom scripts help us manage and easily configure The WiFi-Kraken Lite for the desired mode.

The buildout of the project uses a hardened Pelican like case which provides the ruggedness and physical security so that the system can be left in harsh environments. Inside the case is a mounted LCD screen that gives the user easy access to make changes in the field if necessary. The electronic components including the single board computer wireless cards are all mounted inside to protect them. The project also features battery packs so that it can run for up to 24 hours or longer depending on the monitoring task.

Data captured with the system can be stored on disk or be analyzed in real time thanks to the internally mounted LCD. Data can also be analyzed remotely by using one of the radios to connect to a nearby laptop. This can be useful in scenarios where the WiFi-Kraken Lite needs to be concealed. The form factor was chosen for not only its strength but also for being inconspicuous especially at conferences where lots of large polycarbonate cases can be seen.

Further data analysis can be performed in real time thanks to Kismet’s fully featured web dashboard. Additionally post monitoring analysis can be performed using Wireshark or d4rkm4tter’s PCAPinator tool which is a multithreaded wrapper around tshark to optimize queries on large datasets. The wireless data captured in this type of analysis can help to determine vulnerabilities which then you can use The WiFi-Kraken Lite to attack what you found.

This tool can be used entirely passively as a silent listener to validate bring your own device (BYOD) policies, monitor if wireless attacks are happening against your infrastructure, see if there are strange behaviors happening in your wireless network due to misconfiguration or maliciousness, or track devices as they moved throughout the networks so that you can have a better understanding of client flow. It can be used to perform a number of active attacks including impersonation, evil twin and other common wireless attacks.

It has never been more important to perform wireless assessments and continual monitoring of your infrastructure considering the number of wireless enabled devices increases daily. Rolling out new wireless infrastructure is costly and implementing the most secure system is daunting for even the most seasoned network integrators. This leads to misconfiguration and sub optimal security settings which are still connected to important infrastructure. For the defender this project brings clarity to the risks and also provides information into the most important mitigations that should be implemented. For the attacker this tool provides valuable recon that will allow them to focus solely on the vulnerable target making as little noise as possible all from it a single box.

Target Audience:
Offense, Defense and Hardware

By bringing equipment that can monitor the latest in wireless technologies, including WiFi 6, this project will shed light on a new and up and coming standard of technology that is slowly being rolled out across the world. With new technology, new tools are required so that research can be conducted to find flaws and validate the real world applications. The WiFi Kraken Lite will bring an enhanced perspective to the wireless monitoring in a box with new tools, new wireless bands captured, and new data processing.

The WiFi-Kraken Lite is a wireless monitoring system that is a rugged box with a single board computer and 12 wireless devices that are capable of simultaneously monitoring a large number of frequencies and protocols while storing that data in real time. The primary motivation for this project was to be able to gain visibility into as much of the wireless spectrum as possible in very congested networks in a small rugged form factor. Networks with a large number of clients that have a large number of access points can be difficult to perform analysis on. These networks typically have clients who switch between networks and can switch frequencies lending to more confusion when tracking with only a single radio. By increasing the number of radios as well as adding support for other protocols beyond just WiFi, a more complete understanding of the wireless environment can be documented. This information can then be used for defenders or penetration testers to identify vulnerable networks, vulnerable clients, or verify security that can be easily documented and audited.

The hardware is set up so that it minimizes the number of bottlenecks between the actual frames in the air and when it writes the data to disk. It does this by taking advantage of the high-bandwidth PCI-express bus to connect wireless devices. From there the data transfers to a high-speed NVMe storage device. The operating system is Linux which allows us to take advantage of a number of open source tools and projects that help us capture the data. These projects include Kismet, BlueZ, btscanner, and Feather TFT LoRa Sniffer. Custom scripts help us manage and easily configure The WiFi-Kraken Lite for the desired mode.

The buildout of the project uses a hardened Pelican like case which provides the ruggedness and physical security so that the system can be left in harsh environments. Inside the case is a mounted LCD screen that gives the user easy access to make changes in the field if necessary. The electronic components including the single board computer wireless cards are all mounted inside to protect them. The project also features battery packs so that it can run for up to 24 hours or longer depending on the monitoring task.

Data captured with the system can be stored on disk or be analyzed in real time thanks to the internally mounted LCD. Data can also be analyzed remotely by using one of the radios to connect to a nearby laptop. This can be useful in scenarios where the WiFi-Kraken Lite needs to be concealed. The form factor was chosen for not only its strength but also for being inconspicuous especially at conferences where lots of large polycarbonate cases can be seen.

Further data analysis can be performed in real time thanks to Kismet’s fully featured web dashboard. Additionally post monitoring analysis can be performed using Wireshark or d4rkm4tter’s PCAPinator tool which is a multithreaded wrapper around tshark to optimize queries on large datasets. The wireless data captured in this type of analysis can help to determine vulnerabilities which then you can use The WiFi-Kraken Lite to attack what you found.

This tool can be used entirely passively as a silent listener to validate bring your own device (BYOD) policies, monitor if wireless attacks are happening against your infrastructure, see if there are strange behaviors happening in your wireless network due to misconfiguration or maliciousness, or track devices as they moved throughout the networks so that you can have a better understanding of client flow. It can be used to perform a number of active attacks including impersonation, evil twin and other common wireless attacks.

It has never been more important to perform wireless assessments and continual monitoring of your infrastructure considering the number of wireless enabled devices increases daily. Rolling out new wireless infrastructure is costly and implementing the most secure system is daunting for even the most seasoned network integrators. This leads to misconfiguration and sub optimal security settings which are still connected to important infrastructure. For the defender this project brings clarity to the risks and also provides information into the most important mitigations that should be implemented. For the attacker this tool provides valuable recon that will allow them to focus solely on the vulnerable target making as little noise as possible all from it a single box.

Target Audience:
Offense, Defense and Hardware

By bringing equipment that can monitor the latest in wireless technologies, including WiFi 6, this project will shed light on a new and up and coming standard of technology that is slowly being rolled out across the world. With new technology, new tools are required so that research can be conducted to find flaws and validate the real world applications. The WiFi Kraken Lite will bring an enhanced perspective to the wireless monitoring in a box with new tools, new wireless bands captured, and new data processing.

Title: Will Secure Element Really Help Strengthen the Security of Cryptocurrency Wallets?
When: Thursday, Aug 5, 21:00 - 20:59 PDT
Where: Blockchain Village (YouTube)

SpeakerBio:Byeongcheol Yoo , Graduate Student
Byeongcheol Yoo is a master's student at the School of Cybersecurity in Korea University and his research areas focus on security engineering, blockchain, and IoT security.

In addition to being a master's student, he has been working as a senior researcher at Keypair Inc. which is a Korean company that specializes in blockchain and IoT security. He is a lead developer of an NFC-enabled card-type cryptocurrency wallet called 'KeyWallet Touch' in the company.


Description:
Cryptocurrency wallets are used to store the public and private keys of your account, keep track of the balance, conduct transactions in sending and receiving the currencies, as well as other functions with the blockchain. Wallets are divided into two types: software (a.k.a. hot) wallets and hardware (a.k.a. cold) wallets. Software wallets are accounts on cryptocurrency exchanges or accounts based on online websites. Hardware wallets are accounts stored on an offline means.

In this talk, we deal with a comparative analysis of all categories of these wallets. For this, first, we present a systematic method to evaluate the risk of cryptocurrency wallets, and then we review two hardware wallets ('Ledger Nano S' and 'Trezor One', both of which are the world's best-selling wallet) and four software wallets ('Bread', 'Trust Wallet' for mobile, and 'Copay', 'Electrum' for PC).

Title: Windows Server Containers are Broken - Here's How You Can Break Out
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 10:45 - 11:30 PDT
Where: Cloud Village (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Daniel Prizmant
Daniel started out his career developing hacks for video games and soon became a professional in the information security field. He is an expert in anything related to reverse engineering, vulnerability research and the development of fuzzers and other research tools. To this day Daniel is passionate about reverse engineering video games at his leisure. Before joining Palo Alto Networks Daniel was employed at CheckPoint, KayHut and Nyotron. Daniel holds a Bachelor of Computer Science from Ben Gurion University.
Twitter: @pushrsp

Description:
A container packages up code and its dependencies, creating a minimal computing environment that can be cloned quickly and reliably across the ever-changing variety of operating system distributions. Originally available for Linux alone, containerized software will always run the same, regardless of the infrastructure. Microsoft teamed up with Docker to offer a container solution for Windows. Support for containers was added in 2016, but little documentation on the internal implementation was released. It was necessary to reverse engineer some of the components of Windows in order to better understand the kernel implementation. How does Windows prevent containers from running system calls that may allow attackers to escape containers? How does Windows prevent containers from accessing sensitive files outside the container, on the host? Why go through all this trouble? A vulnerability in the low level implementation of containers could impact hundreds of thousands of affected instances. Not to mention a full escape from the container to its host machine. How would such an escape vulnerability affect Kuberenetes and Azure services? In this presentation I will show you how to fully escape a Windows container and gain full access to the host’s file system. I will discuss why Microsoft originally didn’t consider this a vulnerability, but do now. I will also show the use of this vulnerability in the wild by a malware.

Title: Wireless Odyssey or why is the federal government permitting devices with wireless networking capability in federally certified voting machines?
When: Friday, Aug 6, 11:30 - 11:59 PDT
Where: Voting Village (Talks - Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Susan Greenhalgh
Susan Greenhalgh is the Senior Advisor on Election Security for Free Speech For People. Ms. Greenhalgh has previously served as vice president of programs at Verified Voting and at the National Election Defense Coalition, advocating for secure election protocols, paper ballot voting systems and post-election audits. Recognized as an expert on election security, she has been invited to testify before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights and has been an invited speaker at meetings of the MITRE Corporation, the National Conference of State Legislatures, the Mid-West Election Officials Conference, the International Association of Government Officials, the Election Verification Network and the E-Vote-ID conference in Bregenz, Austria.

She has appeared on CNN and MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show, and various other television news shows. She has a BA in Chemistry from the University of Vermont.

Description:
In February, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) passed new voting system standards, the federal voluntary voting system guidelines or VVSG 2.0. The new guidelines that were presented to the EAC, voted on, and adopted, had a significant change in them from the guidelines that had gone through the federally mandated public hearing and comment period. The new standards, that had not been vetted publicly, suddenly allowed the inclusion of wireless networking devices like modems, chips or radios.

This presentation aims to tell the story of how the computer security community successfully advocated for the federal voting system standards to ban all wireless networking capability in federally certified voting systems, only to have the EAC change the publicly vetted version of the standards, in secret, behind closed doors, at the eleventh hour, at the request of the voting system vendors, to allow wireless devices.

Description:
While new cryptographic attacks are regularly published, there are a series of common, practically exploitable mistakes that have been made by application developers at both large and small companies for years when using cryptography. For example, using a hard-coded IV (a common mistake) led to the flaw known as Zerologon, exploiting Microsoft's Netlogon protocol to allow pre-auth domain compromise in 2020. This workshop will provide a working knowledge of cryptography for those unfamiliar, and explain a series of practical attacks against cryptographic mistakes that are common in production systems today, accompanied by practical challenges in the form of a CTF.

Your phone is a little snitch. For as long as it is turned on, it is monitoring your activities (physical and digital). It knows where you go, who else may be around, and likely what you are doing. Further, it shares (at least some of) the information with different organizations - which then sell or directly aggregate the data to profile you for fun and profit. The modern phone compromises your privacy by design.

To add insult to injury, you do not have a say on it. Or do you?

If you're willing to put in some effort, you can do something about it. But, it will require more than just installing some app with a big Easy Button. If we can do it, so can you!

Description:
You might think that as long as you never hit run, opening up that interesting new POC in your IDE and checking out the code is safe. But it isn't. IDEs and developer tools are complex pieces of software that have vulnerabilities, just like everything else.

We'll start by discussing what a reasonable threat model is for IDEs. How do companies threat model their IDEs? What do users expect of their IDEs? Is viewing a file equivalent to executing it?

Then we'll dive into the reality of it. Nearly every IDE examined was trivially vulnerable. But there were also a variety of subtle bugs lying underneath. We'll look at bugs in both local IDEs (like VSCode and IntelliJ) and cloud-based IDEs (like AWS Cloud9 and Github Codespaces).

Finally, we'll show how an attacker could make a worm that would spread through attacking IDEs. View a malicious project? Let's automatically backdoor every project on a computer and keep spreading.

Title: Yeet the leet with Osquery (Effective Threathunting Without Breaking Bank )
When: Friday, Aug 6, 09:30 - 10:30 PDT
Where: Blue Team Village - Main Track (Virtual)

SpeakerBio:Sebastiaan Provost

Twitter: @Stekkz

Description:
EDR/MDR/XDR is touted as the panacea, a one-stop-shop of security. However, there is no certainty on how well those solutions protect us. Companies throw money at them because they get promised complete protection. EDR solutions, no matter how expensive, still miss common techniques and payloads. This talk will show the audience how they can use the power of OSQuery to add additional monitoring to their systems in addition to keeping their EDR solutions honest. The talk will focus on detections of common command & control (C2) frameworks using OSQuery in addition to EDR.

What will be learned throughout the talk: - What is Osquery
- How to detect potential IOCs with Osquery - How to detect C2 payloads with Osquery - How to detect reverse shells with Osquery - How to combine this with a good alerting setup for the chance of a quick intervention - Potential automation past the alerting

Description/Flow
1. Intro
I will introduce myself, talk about my background, what I do and what my motivation is for this talk. I will also explain what can be expected and give a quick overview of the journey that we will follow. 2. Osquery & Why it was chosen
Osquery has been around for a few years now. It is a piece of software that allows you to describe anything related to a device with simple SQL commands that leverage a relational data-model. A short intro will be given about what it actually does, what its capabilities are, who is behind it, and what it can be used for. This will be followed up by a list of examples to show the power of osquery, to give the audience an initial view on how far you can go with it. Lastly, I will use a few examples that will show how you can use the power of osquery to detect potential IOCs.

Payloads and Reverse Shells
C2 Payloads
In this part I will take the audience on a journey of hunting for C2 payloads & processes. I will go over a few off-the-shelf C2 frameworks that can be found on Github, what kind of payloads they provide and how easy/difficult it is to set them up. From there I will show the audience how we can catch the payloads/processes of these C2 frameworks with a few SQL queries in Osquery. Reverse Shells
In this part I will guide the audience through a series of examples on how reverse shells can be launched and how their connections can be detected. From there I will show the audience how we can catch those connections and reverse shells with a few simple SQL queries. Alerting
After I’ve shown the audience what the capabilities are of Osquery, how you can use it to hunt for C2 payloads/processes and for reverse shells, I will guide them on how this can be combined with alerting so analysts can react quickly if something has been found by Osquery. I will use both Splunk and Elasticsearch as an example on how this alerting can look like and will speak a little bit on how we can automate this even more with SOAR platforms. Sitrep
During the sitrep, I will talk briefly about the technologies we’ve encountered. I will also give a brief overview of the things we’ve learned looking back and how this can be extended even more looking forward. The end
This is the part where I would like to thank everyone for listening in and I will happily answer any question that comes my way!


Blue Team Village talks will be streamed to Twitch.

Title: You're Doing IoT RNG
When: Saturday, Aug 7, 11:00 - 11:45 PDT
Where: IoT Village (Talk - Virtual)
Speakers:Allan Cecil - dwangoAC,Dan Petro - AltF4

SpeakerBio:Allan Cecil - dwangoAC
Allan Cecil (dwangoAC) is a Security Consultant with Bishop Fox and the President of the North Bay Linux User’s Group. He acts as an ambassador for Tasvideos.org, a website devoted to using emulators to complete video games as quickly as the hardware allows. He participates in Games Done Quick charity speed running marathons using TASBot to entertain viewers with never-before-seen glitches in games.
Twitter: @mrtasbot

SpeakerBio:Dan Petro - AltF4
Dan "AltF4" Petro is Lead Researcher at Bishop Fox. Dan is widely known for the tools he creates: Eyeballer (a convolutional neural network pentest tool), the Rickmote Controller (a Chromecast-hacking device), Untwister (pseudorandom number generator cracker), and SmashBot (a merciless Smash Bros noob-pwning machine).
Twitter: @2600AltF4

Description:
Think of a random number between '0' and infinity. Was your number '0'? Seriously? Crap. Well unfortunately, the hardware random number generators (RNG) used by your favorite IoT devices to create encryption keys may not work much better than you when it comes to randomness.

In this talk, we'll delve into murky design specs, opaque software libraries, and lots of empirical results. We wrote code for many popular IoT SoC platforms to extract gigabytes of data from their hardware RNGs and analyze them. What we found was a systemic minefield of vulnerabilities in almost every platform that could undermine IoT security. Something needs to change in how the Internet of Things does RNG.

The vulnerabilities are widespread and the attacks are practical. RNG is bad out there - "IoT Crypto-pocalypse" bad.


IoT Village talks will be streamed to Twitch. Select speakers may be available in the IoT Village on-site to answer questions.

Title: Your House is My House: Use of Offensive Enclaves In Adversarial Operations
When: Friday, Aug 6, 12:00 - 12:20 PDT
Where: Track 2 Live; DCTV/Twitch #2 Pre-Recorded

SpeakerBio:Dimitry "Op_Nomad" Snezhkov
Dimitry Snezhkov is an Associate Director at Protiviti. In this role he hacks code, tools, networks, apps and sometimes subverts human behavior too. Dimitry has spoken at DEF CON, BlackHat, THOTCON conferences, and presented tools at BlackHat Arsenal.
Twitter: @Op_Nomad

Description:
As developers start to rely more on hardware-based memory encryption controls that isolate specific application code and data in memory - secure enclaves, adversaries can use enclaves to successfully coexist on the host and enjoy similar protections.

In this talk we venture into a practical implementation of such an offensive enclave, with the help of Intel SGX enclave technology, supported on a wide variety of processors present in enterprise data-centers and in the cloud.

We discuss how malware can avoid detection in defensively instrumented environments and protect their operational components from processes running at high privilege levels, including the Operating System. We dive deeper into using enclaves in implants and stagers, and discuss the design and implementation of an enclave that is capable of facilitating secure communication and storage of sensitive data in offensive operations. We cover how the enclaves can be built to help secure external communication while resisting system and network inspection efforts and to achieve deployment with minimal dependencies where possible.

Finally, we release the enclave code and a library of offensive enclave primitives as a useful reference for teams that leverage Intel SGX technology or have the hardware platform capable to support such adversarial efforts.

Description:
The recent attacks against Colonial Pipeline, JBS, and others have made it clear just how vulnerable U.S. Critical Infrastructure is to ransomware. While these attacks have been grabbing headlines, the path forward has not. A variety of tools and approaches will need to be tested by both the government and private sector to push back against the threat of ransomware and protect critical infrastructure from future attacks.

This panel brings together a variety of perspectives from the government, technology, and venture capital sectors to chart the path forward and detail what steps government and the private sector can take individually and together to protect critical infrastructure across the country.


ICS Village will be releasing their events to YouTube at each event's scheduled time. Discussion will be available on Discord in #ics-speaker-questions-and-answers-text.

URL to any additional information:
https://docs.zuthaka.com/-MYVExFNbaf2ARSR5z2e/

Detailed Explanation of Tool:

Problem Statement: The current C2s ecosystem has rapidly grown in order to adapt to modern red team operations and diverse needs (further information on C2 selection can be found here). This comes with a lot of overhead work for Offensive Security professionals everywhere. Creating a C2 is already a demanding task, and most C2s available lack an intuitive and easy to use web interface. Most Red Teams must independently administer and understand each C2 in their infrastructure.

Solution: With the belief that community efforts surpass that of any individual, Zuthaka presents a simplified API for fast and clear integration of C2s and provides a centralized management for multiple C2 instances through a unified interface for Red Team operations.

‌Zuthaka is more than just a collection of C2s, it is also a solid foundation that can be built upon and easily customized to meet the needs of the exercise that needs to be accomplish. This integration and development framework for C2 allows developers to concentrate on a unique target environment and not have to reinvent the wheel.

Please reefer to the supporting files for more detailed information about Zuthaka.

DEF CON 29 pixel con image

I am announcing this now because the longer we wait and gather data the harder it will be for everyone to make plans, so we are announcing our intentions to kick things off.

DEF CON 29 will be a hybrid conference, partially in-person, and partially online. DEF CON will not be a “normal” con, but more like DEF CON “Different.” The situation we face this year is unique and will require us to do things differently, simplify our plans, and in a fast-moving environment be flexible to change.

DEF CON 29 Theme and Artwork Contest!

DEF CON 29 theme image

It’s official. DEF CON season has arrived. DEF CON 29 will be happening this August in one form or another and that means it’s time to announce the theme!

The theme for DEF CON 29 is (imagine a drum roll here) ‘You Can’t Stop the Signal’.

The signal can be a few things. It’s the powerful force that draws DEF CON together as a community, across miles, across years, even in global lockdown. It can be the magnet that draws us to the people trying to solve the same puzzles we are, who want to learn how everything works as much as we do. And it’s how we instinctively know that the technology we live with can be better, and we are the ones to figure out how.

We’ve put together a style guide that lays out a bunch of our inspirations for this year, from visual aesthetic to music, to movies and books. We hope it inspires you in whatever you’re creating for DC29, and we hope it gives you the same powerful sense of community and possibility that we feel.

The style guide also governs the Art Contest , so if you're artistically inclined we hope you'll find a nugget or two in there to inspire your entries. We look forward to seeing what you come up with and we thank you for being the kind of amazing, unstoppable community that keeps us coming back.

DEF CON 29 FAQ


Masks and Vaccination will be required at DEF CON 29 this year, thanks to the complications of COVID-19.

While the virtual portion will largely be the same as DEF CON Safe Mode, in-person DEF CON 29 will be guided by safety and number of attendees.

Vaccination and wearing a mask while in the DEF CON space will be required. No exceptions. Persons who are not vaccinated, including unvaccinated children, will not be admitted.

Vaccinations will be validated by a 3rd party, independent company provided by DEF CON. You must provide an original, signed, vaccination card, with the final dose dated no later than July 22nd, 2021. Photocopies and digital pictures of vaccination cards will not be accepted for anyone, to include Goons and Humans, for entrance to DC29. Once the vaccination record has been verified, participants will receive a wrist band that must be worn at all times during DC29. Participants may then proceed to badge registration to process their barcodes and receive their DC29 Human badge.

Badges may be picked up for others, but the bearer will still need to pass through the vaccination validation and receive a wrist band before they enter the con.

Masks requirements include:

The following do not fulfill the mask requirements:

The guidelines for in-person gatherings is constantly in flux and we will update our faq on policies and processes, when they will best reflect the most current guidelines that will be necessary during DEF CON.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


What is DEF CON doing, and how can I attend?

DEF CON 29 will be a hybrid event this year, we will give hackers a choice in how they wish to experience DEF CON. We will host both an in-person experience in Las Vegas and a virtual con on our official Discord just as we did for DEF CON safe mode in 2020.

Starting mid May we will sell badges online for the conference that we should ship the beginning of July.

For the virtual portion of DEF CON You will need a Discord account.
You can find detailed instructions on getting on the DEF CON Discord server here. There is a FAQ for Humans on Discord as well.

You can support DEF CON and upgrade your account by purchasing the Human Plus role that gives you more permissions than the free "Human" role. Join with the DEF CON Discord Server signup link: https://discord.gg/defcon

If you choose to attend via the DEF CON discord, you will have access to all the online content and pre-recorded talks. There will be contests, villages, DJs, and live chats with hackers all over the globe. You will need to get on the DEF CON Twitch too, for live streamed talk Q&A sessions, evening fireside talks and evening contests. Not to mention the live entertainment and select in-person only villages, events, and contests. Our annual tradition of awarding black badges "Uber" badges for CTF and other select contests, will continue, for in-person events only.

To see what happenings are currently planning to be in-person, hybrid, or virtual only please visit https://forum.defcon.org/node/236142


Can I buy a DEF CON badge with Black Hat?

Yes, it will be an option when you check out at Black Hat.


How much will DEF CON cost?

The price to attend DEF CON in-person will be $300 USD. You may not attend in-person without purchasing a badge. Attending virtual on our Discord will be free, and those with Human+ will have more permissions and access.

You can support DEF CON and upgrade your account by purchasing the Human Plus role.


What if I don't want a Discord Account?

While we don't think you'll get the full experience, all of our content will be released via YouTube and put on the DEF CON Media Server. The Talks for DEF CON will be released during the con on the DEF CON YouTube and Twitch channels.


I have a black badge, do I need to pre-register?

No, just show up on site with your vax card and go to inhuman registration.


Will the content be the same at the in-person event and the virtual event?

Not exactly, there will be unique elements to each, the official DEF CON talks content will be the same for both with the exception of impromptu Q&A or meet and greets. Villages and Contest content may differ, not all events will be held in a hybrid format. See https://forum.defcon.org/node/236142 for a list.


What will capacity look like for the in-person event?

Capacity is currently capped at a maximum of 80% of a given space’s fire code standard capacity. Limits will be reviewed and revised at the direction of Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD) and there will be dedicated support onsite to ensure our policies are being followed.


Will DEF CON limit attendance?

YES. If we are near capacity we will limit pre-registration. In the best interest of attendee comfort and safety we would limit attendance to ensure that proper distancing is maintained and locally mandated capacity limits are adhered to. It is recommended that you secure a badge with us when we open the badge pre-registration process.


What health measures/protocols is DEF CON taking to ensure a safe environment on-site?

DEF CON is working closely with Caesar's Entertainment hotels to provide a safe and healthy experience for all. All attendees and staff will need to be vaccinated and wearing a mask. We will comply with whatever safety measures are required of us.

Currently all of the hotel guidelines that we have gathered are located in the Hotel FAQ.


How do I prove I was vaccinated?

Vaccinations will be validated by a 3rd party, independent company provided by DEF CON. You must provide an original, signed, vaccination card, dated no later than July 22nd, 2021. Photocopies and digital pictures of vaccination cards will not be accepted for anyone, to include Goons and Humans, for entrance to DC29. Once the vaccination record has been verified, participants will receive a wrist band that must be worn at all times during DC29. Participants may then proceed to badge registration to process their barcodes and receive their DC29 Human badge.


What about lines, etc?

Line con, queuing for registration or talks, swag, etc, will have to be planned for in new ways , and the guidelines for gatherings will be in flux for a little while. Just expect "social distanced line con" for the in-person event.


Will I be required to wear a mask? Will medical exceptions be allowed?

Masks will be required for all participants except while eating or drinking, or if presenting as a DEF CON main stage speaker. If you are unable to wear face coverings due to medical reasons, please consider attending virtually.


How will DEF CON maintain social distancing?

Social distancing measures may include distanced seating in event rooms, traffic lanes in the hallways, larger rooms, more strategic areas for food and drinks, dedicated entry and exit points, and more. There will be dedicated support onsite to ensure our rules are being followed.

One of the big visible changes is that we have removed all in-person speaking tracks. Because we don't know how many people are planning to attend we couldn't design the floor plan. By releasing the talks online allows us to complete the floor plan and have attendees focus more on village and events.


Will food be served and what will that look like?

Chill out lounges and other food service may look a little different than previous years in order to adhere to safety measures, but we intend to provide for purchase take away options in a pre-packaged format. No buffet sneezes to worry about.


When & Where will DEF CON be?

August 5, 2021 - August 8, 2021 (Thursday to Sunday)
DEF CON will be located within the Paris and Bally's Hotel and Casinos in Las Vegas, Nevada USA.


Can I book my hotel in Las Vegas now – and how should I do that?

Yes, hotel reservations are being accepted. In order to help us fill our room block with our contracted hotels please book under the DEF CON group room registration.


What happens if DEF CON has to cancel the in-person event or is shut down - can I get a refund?

With the current outlook on vaccine estimations we think that hosting DEF CON in Las Vegas is going to happen, but we know a global pandemic is out of our control. In the event we have to cancel the in-person con we will switch your badge type to "virtual", refund you the difference in price (excluding postage) and mail you your badge, just like we are doing for everyone ordering a virtual-only badge.


Where can I get more information about what's happening?

DEF CON FAQ


Frequently asked questions about DEF CON



What is DEF CON?

DEF CON is one of the oldest continuously running hacker conventions around, and also one of the largest.



How did DEF CON start?

Originally started in 1993, it was a meant to be a party for member of "Platinum Net", a Fido protocol based hacking network out of Canada. As the main U.S. hub I was helping the Platinum Net organizer (I forget his name) plan a closing party for all the member BBS systems and their users. He was going to shut down the network when his dad took a new job and had to move away. We talking about where we might hold it, when all of a sudden he left early and disappeared. I was just planning a party for a network that was shut down, except for my U.S. nodes. I decided what the hell, I'll invite the members of all the other networks my BBS (A Dark Tangent System) system was a part of including Cyber Crime International (CCI), Hit Net, Tired of Protection (ToP), and like 8 others I can't remember. Why not invite everyone on #hack? Good idea!



Where did the name come from?

The short answer is a combination of places. There as a SummerCon in the summer, a HoHoCon in the winter, a PumpCon during Halloween, etc. I didn't want any association with a time of year. If you are a Phreak, or just use your phone a lot you'll notes "DEF" is #3 on the phone. If you are into military lingo DEF CON is short for "Defense Condition." Now being a fan of the movie War Games I took note that the main character, David Lightman, lived in Seattle, as I do, and chose to nuke Las Vegas with W.O.P.R. when given the chance. Well I knew I was doing a con in Vegas, so it all just sort of worked out.

There are several resources that will give you an idea of what DEF CON is all about.

DEF CON Press: through the prism of the media
DEF CON Groups: Local groups that meet
DEF CON Media Server: DC 1 to the present, captured
Google: always a good research starting point
Just remember, DEF CON is what you make of it.



When and where is DEF CON?

DEF CON is generally in the last week of July or first week of August in Las Vegas. DEF CON 29 will be held August 5th through August 8th. We are gauging interest on what degree of where. Many people arrive a day early, and many stay a day later.


Isn't there a DEF CON FAQ already?

Yes, an unofficial one. It's quite humorous, sometimes informative, and DEF CON takes no responsibility for its content. It can be found at http://defcon.stotan.org/faq/



What are the rules of DEF CON?

Physical violence is prohibited. Harassment of any kind is prohibited. We don't support illegal drug use. Minors should be accompanied by their parent(s) or guardian(s). Please refrain from doing anything that might jeopardize the conference or attendees such as lighting your hair on fire or throwing lit road flares in elevators. DEF CON Goons are there to answer your questions and keep everything moving. Hotel security is there to watch over their property. Each has a different mission, and it is wise to not anger the hotel people. Please be aware that if you engage in illegal activities there is a large contingency of feds that attend DEF CON. Talking about how you are going to bomb the RNC convention in front of an FBI agent is a Career Limiting Move!

You can view the DEF CON Code of Conduct at https://defcon.org/html/links/dc-code-of-conduct.html.



Is DEF CON cancelled?

No, but DEF CON is planning to perform a risk assessment to help us decide, ideally by sometime in April, if we should hold a physical "last known good configuration" conference in Las Vegas for 2021. We would adhere to all health and safety guidelines, so the better we can understand them the more informed our assessment will be.



What is there to do at DEF CON?

DEF CON is a unique experience for each con-goer. If you google around you'll find dozens of write-ups that will give you an idea of what people have experienced at DEF CON. Trust write-ups more than media articles about the con. Some people play capture the flag 24x7, while many people never touch a computer at DEF CON. Some people see every speech they can, while others miss all speeches. Other activities include contests, movie marathons, scavenger hunts, sleep deprivation, lock picking, warez trading, drunken parties, spot the fed contest, the official music events. Because DEF CON is what the attendees make of it, there are more events than even we are aware of. Half the fun is learning what happened at DEF CON after the fact!



I'm not a hacker, should I go to DEF CON?

Many people have different definitions of what is a ‘hacker’. I would recommend looking at previous years speeches, and write-ups from past attendees - this should give you a good idea if DEF CON is for you. This hacker FAQ might give you some insight into the matter as well. If you do not have any technical interests, DEF CON is probably not for you. Sure there is a lot of socializing you can do, but technology and hacking is the core of the con.



Do criminals go to DEF CON?

Yes. They also go to high school, college, work in your workplace, and the government. There are also lawyers, law enforcement agents, civil libertarians, cryptographers, and hackers in attendance. Ssshhh. Don't tell anyone.



What are Goons?

They are the staff at DEF CON. They have many roles including safety, speaker coordination, vendor room coordination, network operations, et cetera... Please try to be helpful to them if they make requests of you. If any goon tells you to move, please do so immediately as there may be safety issues they are attempting to address.



How can I help out or become a Goon?

The staff at DEF CON has grown organically. All positions have some degree of trust associated with them, so typically new goons are ‘inducted’ by friends of existing goons. There are many random points when goons need help and may ask people for help, generally for helping move stuff or other tasks that don't require high amounts of trust or unsupervised work. Just because you help out doesn't make you a goon. If you really want to be a goon, talk with one and see how much work they actually do (Hint: you may want to enjoy being at DEF CON, not working full-time at it). One year the network group got a new Goon when a networking engineer was needed, and he came to the rescue. The intent behind the goons is not to be elitist, but to have a network of trusted people who can help run the conference - please do not feel upset if you are not chosen to be a goon.



How can I help or participate?

DEF CON is not a spectator sport! Before the con, during, and after there are chances for you to get involved. Before the con you can read about the contests and maybe sign up for one like Capture the Flag. There are artwork contests for shirts and posters. You can practice your lock pick skills, or just get your laptop all locked down and ready to do battle. Organize your .mp3s. Check out the DEF CON Forums to see what other people are up to. If you want to create your own event, you can do that as well - you will not get official space or sanctions, but virtually every official event at DEF CON started out as an unofficial event.



I would love to see XYZ event, how do I make this happen?

Virtually all events at DEF CON were conceived by the attendees. The DEF CON forums are a great place for recruiting help for an event you want to put on, and making sure your efforts aren't being duplicated. If it doesn't require resources from DEF CON (space, namely) you generally don't have to ask anyone’s permission. Most events are unofficial until they've been going on for a couple of years. Please let us know if you have an idea for an event, we may help facilitate or promote it. Email [suggestions at DEF CON dot org] to keep us in the loop.



How can I speak at DEF CON?

You can submit a response to our CFP (call for papers). All entries are read and evaluated by a selection committee. We would love to have your submission. The call for papers usually opens in January and closes mid-May.



I'm press, how do I sign up, why can't I get in for free (I'm just doing my job)?

Please email press[at]defcon[d0t]org if you wish press credentials. Lots of people come to DEF CON and are doing their job; security professionals, federal agents, and the press. It wouldn't be fair to DEF CON attendees if we exempted one group from paying. If you are a major network and plan on doing a two minute piece showing all the people with blue hair, you probably shouldn't bother applying for a press pass - you won't get one. If you are a security writer or from a real publication please submit, and someone will respond with an answer.



I want to sell stuff, how do I do this?

If you want a space in our vendor area, you need to apply. Because of limited space and our attempt to have a diversity of vendors, you may not be able to get a booth. It is wise to think of staffing issues - if you are one person do you want to spend your entire time behind a vendors booth?



What are the different price rates?

Everyone pays the same: The government, the media, the ‘well known hackers’, the unknown script kiddies. The only discount is for Goons and speakers, who get to work without paying for the privilege.



How much is admission DEF CON, and do you take credit cards?

The price for DEF CON 29 is TBA. For reference, DEF CON 27 (in person) cost $300 USD Cash for all four days. Do we take credit cards? Are you JOKING? No, we only accept cash - no checks, no money orders, no travelers checks. We don't want to be a target of any State or Federal fishing expeditions.



Does my underage child need a badge?

Children under the age of 8 will not need to purchase a badge.



Can I pre-register for DEF CON?

No. We used to do this a long time ago, but found that managing the registration list, and preventing one 'Dr. Evil' from impersonating another 'Dr. Ev1l' too much of a hassle. Seeing how we would only take cash in the first place, and things becomes time consuming and easy to abuse. Cash at the door works every time.



Can I get a discount on DEF CON badges?

DEF CON charges one price regardless of your social status or affiliation. Please know that we depend on attendee income to pay the costs of the conference and don't have sponsors to help defray the expenses.

We sometimes get requests for discounts [students, veterans, children], unfortunately we don't want to try and validate if you are a current student, look at your ID to determine your age, decode military discharge papers, etc.

If you really want to attend DEF CON for free then do something for the con.

You could:
Submit a CFP and be an accepted speaker or workshop instructor.
Work on a contest, event, or village.
Qualify for CTF/Contests that include entry.
Find a team to become a Goon newbie.
Contribute to content, or perform some entertainment.


I need a letter of invite for my visa application, how do I get that?

In most cases, DEF CON can send a signed letter of invite, usually within a few short business days once we have all the info. If you also require verification of housing, we can put you in touch with someone to help you get your hotel stay organized, let us know if you need that.

Along with your request, please email us the following to info(at)defcon(.)org

Name as is on passport:
Passport number:
Country of issue:
Date of issue:
Date of expiration:
Country of origin:


DEF CON is too expensive, how can I afford it?

DEF CON is cheaper than many concerts, and certainly cheaper than many shows in Vegas. Many people have made an art and science out of coming to DEF CON very cheaply. Here are a couple of tips.

Travel: Buy airfare in advance, go Greyhound, Carpool, hitch-hike. (Note: this may be dangerous and/or illegal.)
Lodging: Share rooms - some people have up to 10 people they share a room with, find a hotel cheaper than the one that the conference is scheduled at, stay up for three days, etc. (note: this can be hazardous to your health.)
Food: Pack food for your trip, go off site to find food, eat in your hotel rooms, and look for cheap Vegas food at Casinos. (Look for deals and specials that are trying to get you in the door to gamble.)
Booze: You don't need to drink. Brew your own and bring it. (It's been done.)
Entrance: Admission can be saved, mow some lawns. Try to go to another 4 day event for cheaper than this that offers so much. We have increased the fees slowly over the years, but also the amount and quality of events have increased.

Inevitably people will try to do some math and pretend that DT gets rich each DEF CON - they seem to lack the ability to subtract.



How many people typically attend DEF CON?

There have been roughly 25-28k attendees in the last few years of DEF CON. DEF CON 27 had a record showing with approximately 30,000.



Is there a network at DEF CON?

Why yes, DEF CON is FULLY network-enabled. Now that we've perfected the art of a stable hacker con network, we're ascending to a higher level - we're providing you a network that you feel SAFE in using! Since DEF CON 18 we're WPA2 encrypted over-the-air, with a direct trunk out to the Internet. No peer-to-peer, no sniffing, just straight to the net (and internal servers). We'll provide login credentials at Registration. We know the LTE airwaves will be saturated so we're putting our own cred on the line to give you a net that even we would put our own mobile phones on.

If you're feeling frisky, we'll still have the traditional "open" network for you - bring your laptop (we'd recommend a clean OS, fully patched--you know the procedure) because we don't police what happens on that net. Share & enjoy!



What is the age limit?

People have brought children to DEF CON - it is not recommended to do this unless you are going to constantly supervise them. It is generally an ‘adult’ atmosphere (language, booze, et cetera). If you've never been to DEF CON, you may want to refrain from bringing your children (unless they are demanding that you bring them). While there are no age limits, we have consistently cooperated with parents and/or private investigators who are looking for children that ‘ran away from home’ to go to DEF CON. You will have to be 21 to reserve a room.



What is a DEF CON "Black Badge"?

The Black Badge is the highest award DEF CON gives to contest winners of certain events. CTF winners sometimes earn these, as well as Hacker Jeopardy winners. The contests that are awarded Black Badges vary from year to year, and a Black Badge allows free entrance to DEF CON for life, potentially a value of thousands of dollars.



How can I get a hold of DT? I tried to mail him and haven't seen a response yet.

DT doesn't dislike you, isn't trying to hurt your feelings, and bears you no ill will. The fact is he gets an unmanageable load of mail continually. Mailing him again may elicit a response. Try mailing FAQ (at) DEFCON.ORG if you have a general question that isn't answered here or in the forums.



Is it hot in Vegas?

Yes. Bring sunscreen (high SPF), do not fall asleep near the pool (lest you wake up to sunburn), and do not walk far in the sun unless you are experienced in dealing with extreme heat. The sun is dangerous in Las Vegas. Sleeping in lawn chairs is a sure way to wake up to severe burns in the morning when that bright yellow thing scorches your skin. Drink plenty of water and liquids - remember that alcohol will dehydrate you.



What should I bring?

It depends on what you're going to do at DEF CON. This is discussed in quite some depth on the unofficial DC FAQ, as well as a thread in the DC Forums. You may want to bring fancy (or outrageously silly) clothes for the official Music events, on Friday and Saturday nights, where everyone shows off nifty attire.



How much do rooms cost, and how do I reserve a room?

The DEF CON 29 group room registration is now live! We have room rates at seven hotels, until they run out of rooms in our block.

Follow this link: https://book.passkey.com/gt/217951677?gtid=91d4af3428476f6bf43ba59e7f698eac

Do not worry if the form doesn't immediately show the discounted rate. To verify that you're getting our price you can mouse over the dates you've selected or begin the checkout process.


How much is internet access?

We are looking into this. Free (and possibly more dangerous) internet access is available in the convention area.



Will the hotels broadcast the speeches on their cable system?

DEF CON TV has succcessfully streamed all tracks to all the hotels, and a couple of tracks out to the internet, for several years now. We don't expect this will change!



Will we have DEF CON branded poker chips?

You will have to attend DEF CON to find out.



Will conference attendees have entire floors of hotel rooms to themselves?

Probably not. The hotel is very cooperative in attempting to centralize the DEF CON attendees, for their convenience and ours, but there will be non-DEF CON attendees in hotel rooms next to us.



This FAQ didn't answer my questions, or was unclear, how can I get further information?
