 n   Description:\n   Ghost in the Neurons will reveal for the first time h
 ow an interactive\n   remote shell can be operated via machine learning de
 ep neural networks\n   that are accessible through inference APIs. Somewha
 t akin to\n   webshells\, ML reverse shells can be implanted into pre-trai
 ned models\n   by an adversary and used to perform initial compromise or m
 aintain\n   persistence within an environment while conducting command and
  control\n   communications surreptitiously over legitimate channels. Alon
 gside\n   traditional features you’d expect to see in a backdoor\, such 
 as an\n   interactive remote shell\, upload/download/execute commands etc.
 \, ML\n   “webshells” can also provide bespoke functionality allowing 
 an\n   attacker to steal input features\, perform fault injection and tamp
 er\n   with a model’s predictions.\n\n   In this talk\, we will explain 
 how machine learning models can be\n   abused to operate a covert remote s
 hell and backdoor. We will\n   demonstrate how to capture commands from th
 e model’s vectorized\n   feature input\, how to encode responses to the 
 attacker via the\n   model’s output predictions\, and how ML shells can 
 be deployed\,\n   either through direct code insertion or data deserializa
 tion flaws\n   that can be leveraged when loading models. We will also sho
 w how most\n   stages of the attack evade detection from traditional secur
 ity\n   solutions.\n\n   '\n\n   1. #CaesarsAcademyBR\n\n\n
