Practice of AppSec .NET
Practice of AppSec .NETMikhail Shcherbakov This document summarizes a presentation on application security practices for .NET applications. It discusses common vulnerabilities like cross-site scripting, SQL injection, and cross-site request forgery. It provides examples of these vulnerabilities using code snippets and HTTP requests. It also covers mitigation techniques, like input validation, output encoding, and anti-forgery tokens. The presentation recommends resources on the OWASP Top 10, secure coding best practices, and classification of security risks.
Browser Exploit Framework
Browser Exploit Frameworkn|u - The Open Security Community BeEF (Browser Exploitation Framework) is a penetration testing tool that focuses on exploiting vulnerabilities within a web browser. It works by hooking one or more browsers and using them as entry points to launch attacks against the system from within the browser context. This allows penetration testers to assess the actual security of a target environment by exploiting client-side attack vectors beyond the hardened network perimeter.
Continuous security testing - sharing responsibility
Continuous security testing - sharing responsibilityVodqaBLR This document discusses the importance of continuous security testing throughout the development process. It recommends adopting a security test pyramid approach similar to testing principles like test-driven development. Responsibility for security testing should be shared between developers, testers, and external communities. The document reviews some recent security breaches like Cross-Site Scripting attacks on eBay and data leaks from Cloudbleed, noting vulnerabilities that allowed these threats were not caught earlier. Various tools for security testing like dependency checks, static analysis, and OWASP ZAP are presented, along with caveats to keep in mind regarding tools. The key takeaways are to incorporate security testing into all phases of development and think like an attacker when testing.

Dynamic Multi Levels Java Code Obfuscation Technique (DMLJCOT)
Dynamic Multi Levels Java Code Obfuscation Technique (DMLJCOT)CSCJournals Several obfuscation tools and software are available for Java programs but larger part of these
software and tools just scramble the names of the classes or the identifiers that stored in a
bytecode by replacing the identifiers and classes names with meaningless names. Unfortunately,
these tools are week, since the java, compiler and java virtual machine (JVM) will never load and
execute scrambled classes. However, these classes must be decrypted in order to enable JVM
loaded them, which make it easy to intercept the original bytecode of programs at that point, as if
it is not been obfuscated. In this paper, we presented a dynamic obfuscation technique for java
programs. In order to deter reverse engineers from de-compilation of software, this technique
integrates three levels of obfuscation, source code, lexical transformation and the data
transformation level in which we obfuscate the data structures of the source code and byte-code
transformation level. By combining these levels, we achieved a high level of code confusion,
which makes the understanding or decompiling the java programs very complex or infeasible.
The proposed technique implemented and tested successfully by many Java de-compilers, like
JV, CAVJ, DJ, JBVD and AndroChef. The results show that all decompiles are deceived by the
proposed obfuscation technique

Finding Zero-Days Before The Attackers: A Fortune 500 Red Team Case Study
Finding Zero-Days Before The Attackers: A Fortune 500 Red Team Case StudyDevOps.com Graph databases offer security teams a new and more efficient way to find zero day vulnerabilities. As software development increases its reliance on open source libraries and release cycles get faster and faster application security is becoming more and more difficult. AppSec still has the same charter -- to find vulnerabilities in dev, before they reach prod, but now with more complexity and less time. Graphing source code, and traversing it to identify technical and business logic vulnerabilities, gives AppSec teams a much needed leg up identify zero days and stay ahead of attackers.
As numerous famous examples demonstrate, open source libraries are a common attack vector. Hence, AppSec teams must secure 3rd party dependencies just as vigorously as custom code. While much of the emphasis for securing open source libraries (OSS) has been on identifying and eliminating known CVEs, because OSS is widely used, zero-day vulnerabilities are often more likely to be found in popular OSS than custom code.
This webinar will cover the following:
An introduction to the emerging graph landscape and why it matters for AppSec

IRJET- Obfuscation: Maze of Code
IRJET- Obfuscation: Maze of CodeIRJET Journal The document describes a proposed system called Code-a-Maze that aims to obfuscate source code through various transformations to deter software reverse engineering. Code-a-Maze works by taking source code as input and applying different obfuscation techniques depending on the path taken through an abstract "maze" represented by the code. The transformations include pointless allocation and deallocation of memory, insertion of dummy method calls, addition of bogus code and trampoline functions, flipping of conditional branches, and modification of variable and function names. The goal is to complicate the code and transfer control flow in unpredictable ways, making it difficult for attackers to analyze the code without affecting its functionality or performance.
Routine Detection Of Web Application Defence Flaws
Routine Detection Of Web Application Defence FlawsIJTET Journal Abstract— The detection process for security vulnerabilities in ASP.NET websites / web applications is a complex one, most of the code is written by somebody else and there is no documentation to determine the purpose of source code. The characteristic of source code defects generates major web application vulnerabilities. The typical software faults that are behind of web application vulnerabilities, taking into different programming languages. To analyze their ability to prevent security vulnerabilities ASP.NET which is part of .NET framework that separate the HTML code from the programming code in two files, aspx file and another for the programming code. It depends on the compiled language (Visual Basic VB, C sharp C#, Java Script). Visual Basic and C# are the most common languages using with ASP.NET files, and these two compiled languages are in the construction of our proposed algorithm in addition to aspx files. The hacker can inject his malicious as a input or script that can destroy the database or steal website files. By using scanning tool the fault detection process can be done. The scanning process inspects three types of files (aspx, VB and C#). then the software faults are identified. By using fault recovery process the prepared replacement statement technique is used to detect the vulnerabilities and recover it with high efficiency and it provides suggestion then the report is generated then it will help to improve the overall security of the system.
Program security
Program securityG Prachi The document discusses various types of program security issues including:
1) Buffer overflow errors which occur when a program tries to store more data in a buffer than it was designed for, potentially allowing attackers to insert malicious code.
2) Incomplete mediation where programs do not properly check all user inputs, enabling attacks such as changing price values.
3) Time-of-check to time-of-use errors where access checks become out of date due to delays between the check and actual use.

Wadi uses grammars derived from interface definition language (IDL) specifications to generate valid test cases for fuzzing browsers. It creates elements, sets attributes and styles, and calls methods to expose bugs. Wadi has found several high severity bugs in browsers like Chrome and Firefox. It works by generating JavaScript statements that manipulate the DOM and APIs based on the IDL grammars, then outputs an HTML page containing the fuzzing script.

Security code review allows identification of weaknesses in source code and applications that may be missed by black-box and grey-box testing alone. It provides insights into the application not available through external testing. Conducting security code reviews in addition to black-box and grey-box testing provides a more comprehensive assessment of an application's security.
Security Engineering Executive
Security Engineering ExecutiveAung Khant The document discusses a Master of Science in Security Engineering program. The program aims to optimize security, confidence, and stability by educating students on how to protect government and industry information infrastructure from sabotage and compromise. It focuses on teaching techniques to safeguard organizations that are increasingly reliant on digital networks and data storage from threats that could paralyze their operations.
Security Web Servers
Security Web ServersAung Khant This document from the National Institute of Standards and Technology provides guidelines for securing public web servers. It was written by Miles Tracy, Wayne Jansen, Karen Scarfone, and Theodore Winograd. The document offers recommendations to help organizations securely configure and manage their public-facing web servers.
Security Testing Web App
Security Testing Web AppAung Khant Web applications are increasingly being used to transmit and store personal data, but they face unique security challenges due to their complex, dynamic nature. The authors from George Mason University propose a technique called "bypass testing" to evaluate the security of web applications, with a focus on identifying vulnerabilities. Bypass testing involves dynamically generating malicious inputs to test how a web application handles unexpected or erroneous data.
Session Fixation
Session FixationAung Khant Session fixation is a vulnerability that allows attackers to hijack a user's session on a website. It works by exploiting how websites associate a user's session with an ID and don't sufficiently randomize or invalidate session IDs. The paper discusses how session fixation works, how attackers can obtain and use fixed session IDs to hijack user sessions, and recommendations for preventing session fixation vulnerabilities.
Sql Injection Adv Owasp
Sql Injection Adv OwaspAung Khant This document discusses SQL injection vulnerabilities and techniques for exploiting them. It covers:
1) What SQL injection is and how it works by exploiting vulnerabilities in web applications.
2) A methodology for testing for and exploiting SQL injection vulnerabilities, including information gathering, exploiting boolean logic, extracting data, and escalating privileges.
3) Specific techniques for each step like determining the database type, exploring the database structure, grabbing passwords, and creating new database accounts.
Php Security Iissues
Php Security IissuesAung Khant PHP is a widely used language for dynamically generated websites, but it poses security risks that many users overlook. The document discusses some common PHP security issues and attacks, as well as principles for more secure design, such as input validation and access control. It aims to help users protect their dynamically generated sites from common vulnerabilities.
Sql Injection White Paper
Sql Injection White PaperAung Khant This document discusses SQL injection vulnerabilities in web applications. SQL injection occurs when user-supplied data is incorrectly filtered or validated before being used in SQL queries, allowing attackers to alter the structure or content of the database. The document provides an overview of web applications and SQL injection risks, how character encoding plays a role, and recommends best practices for preventing SQL injection attacks.
S Shah Web20
S Shah Web20Aung Khant This document discusses the top 10 attack vectors for Web 2.0 applications. It notes that Web 2.0 uses new technologies like AJAX, XML, and web services that are changing the client and server aspects of websites. This technological shift is introducing new security concerns and vulnerabilities that worms and attacks are starting to exploit, especially those targeting the client-side of sites using AJAX frameworks.
S Vector4 Web App Sec Management
S Vector4 Web App Sec ManagementAung Khant This document introduces an S-vector model for managing web application security. It was created by Russell R. Barton of Penn State University, William J. Hery of Penn State eBusiness Research Center, and Peng Liu of Penn State School of Information Sciences and Technology. The S-vector model provides a framework to assess security risks and requirements across different dimensions, including technical, organizational and human factors.
Php Security Value1
Php Security Value1Aung Khant PHP is a widely used language for web applications and is expanding into enterprise markets. It is important to secure PHP applications as they often work with sensitive data and deal with user inputs that cannot be fully trusted. Proper input validation is needed to validate any user input before use to prevent unexpected modifications or intentional attempts to gain unauthorized access through the application.
Privilege Escalation
Privilege EscalationAung Khant This whitepaper discusses automated testing of privilege escalation vulnerabilities in web applications. It explains that privilege escalation occurs when an attacker is able to access unauthorized functions by exploiting vulnerabilities. The whitepaper then introduces Watchfire App Scan 7.0, which allows for automated privilege escalation testing of web applications to identify vulnerabilities without manual effort. It concludes that automated testing is needed to effectively test for privilege escalation issues at scale.
Php Security Workshop
Php Security WorkshopAung Khant This document is a workshop outline by Chris Shiflett on PHP security. It introduces Chris as an author on PHP security books and articles, and a founder of the PHP Security Consortium. The outline then lists security principles and best practices as topics to be covered, along with common PHP vulnerabilities. It concludes with a section for questions and answers.
Preventing Xs Sin Perl Apache
Preventing Xs Sin Perl ApacheAung Khant Cross-site scripting attacks pose a common security threat to websites that display user-submitted content without validation. Perl and mod_perl provide built-in solutions to prevent cross-site scripting by checking for malicious script tags. A new mod_perl module called Apache::TaintRequest further secures applications by applying Perl's tainting rules to HTML output.
Protecting Web App
Protecting Web AppAung Khant This white paper discusses protecting web applications from attacks and misuse. It explains that the threat facing organizations has shifted from network exploits to attacks targeting web and web services applications. While security vendors have created products to shield web apps, there is confusion around the actual threats and best protection methods. The white paper aims to provide clarity on the requirements for viable web application security solutions, such as inspecting application communications rather than just IP packets and detecting attacks.

Is AI just another technology, or does it fundamentally change the way we live and think?
Every technology has a direct impact with micro-ethical consequences, some good, some bad. However more profound are the ways in which some technologies reshape the very fabric of society with macro-ethical impacts. The invention of the stirrup revolutionised mounted combat, but as a side effect gave rise to the feudal system, which still shapes politics today. The internal combustion engine offers personal freedom and creates pollution, but has also transformed the nature of urban planning and international trade. When we look at AI the micro-ethical issues, such as bias, are most obvious, but the macro-ethical challenges may be greater.
At a micro-ethical level AI has the potential to deepen social, ethnic and gender bias, issues I have warned about since the early 1990s! It is also being used increasingly on the battlefield. However, it also offers amazing opportunities in health and educations, as the recent Nobel prizes for the developers of AlphaFold illustrate. More radically, the need to encode ethics acts as a mirror to surface essential ethical problems and conflicts.
At the macro-ethical level, by the early 2000s digital technology had already begun to undermine sovereignty (e.g. gambling), market economics (through network effects and emergent monopolies), and the very meaning of money. Modern AI is the child of big data, big computation and ultimately big business, intensifying the inherent tendency of digital technology to concentrate power. AI is already unravelling the fundamentals of the social, political and economic world around us, but this is a world that needs radical reimagining to overcome the global environmental and human challenges that confront us. Our challenge is whether to let the threads fall as they may, or to use them to weave a better future.
