In this talk we will discuss what is now referred to as "The 'first' Internet War" where Estonia was under massive online attacks for a period of three weeks, following tensions with the local Russian population.

Following a riot in the streets of Tallinn, an online assault begun, resulting in a large-scale coordination of the Estonian defenses on both the local and International levels. We will demonstrate what in hind-sight worked for both the attackers and the defenders, as well as what failed. Following the chronological events and technical information, we will explore what impact these attacks had on Estonia's civil infrastructure and daily life, and how they impacted its economy during the attacks.

Once we cover that ground, we will evaluate what we have so far discussed and elaborate on lessons learned while Gadi was in Estonia and from the post-mortem he wrote for the Estonian CERT. We will conclude our session by recognizing case studies on the strategic level, which can be deducted from the incident and studied in preparation for future engagements in cyber-space.

Gadi Evron works for the Mclean, VA based vulnerability assessment solution vendor Beyond Security as Security Evangelist and is the chief editor of the security portal SecuriTeam. He is a known leader in the world of Internet security operations, and especially in the realm of botnets and phishing as well as is the operations manager for the Zeroday Emergency Response Team (ZERT). He is a known expert on corporate security and espionage threats. Previously Gadi was the Israeli Government Internet Security Operations Manager (CISO) and the Israeli Government CERT Manager which he founded.

Penetration testing often focuses on individual vulnerabilities and services. This talk introduces a tactical approach that does not rely on exploiting known vulnerabilities. Using combination of new tools and obscure techniques, I will walk through the process of compromising an organization without the use of normal exploit code. Many of the tools will be made available as new modules for the Metasploit Framework.

REVIEWER NOTES: This is a monstrous presentation and will absolutely require the 150-minute time slot. For a smaller version of this presentation, please see my other submission (System Cracking with Metasploit 3). The goal of this presentation is to show some of the non-standard ways of breaking into networks, methods that are often ignored by professional pen-testing teams.

Processor emulation has been around for as long as the processor it emulates. However, emulators have been difficult to use and notoriously lacking in flexibility or extensibility. In this presentation I address these issues and provide a solution in the form of a scriptable multi-purpose x86 emulator written in Python. The concept was to allow a security researcher the ability to quickly integrate an emulator into their work flow and custom tools. Python was chosen as the development language for multiple reasons, mainly to leverage the benefits of existing Python libraries such as PaiMei/PyDbg and IDApython. With obvious uses in reverse engineering, vulnerability research, and malware analysis PyEmu is a very valuable addition to any security researchers repertoire.

OpenBSD is regarded as a very secure Operating System. This article details one of the few remote exploit against this system. A kernel shellcode is described, that disables the protections of the OS and installs a user-mode process. Several other possible techniques of exploitation are described.

Todays headlines are rife with high profile information leakage cases affecting major corporations and government institutions. Most of the highest-profile leakage news has about been stolen laptops (VA, CPS), or large-scale external compromises of customer databases (TJX).

On a less covered, but much more commonplace basis, sensitive
financial data, company secrets, and customer information move in and out of networks and on and off of company systems all the time. Where it goes can be hard to pin down.

How can a company prevent (let alone detect) Alice taking a snapshot of the customer database or financial projections and posting them on internet forums or even dumping them to a floppy disk?
This, understandably, has a lot of people worried.

In response, many organizations have begun looking for technologies to detect and prevent sensitive information from leaving their networks, servers, workstations, and even buildings. For some time a product space for ""Extrusion Detection"" products has existed. But now the space is exploding and as tends to happen, security problems abound.

Some ""Extrusion Detections"" products rely on network gateway IPS/IDS approaches, whereas others work in a way more closely resembling host-based IDS/IPS. The main difference is that instead of detecting/preventing malicious information from entering a company's perimeter, they focus on keeping assets *inside*.

We've been evaluating a number of products in this space and have run across a large number of vulnerabilities. They range from improper evidence handling, to inherent design issues, all the way to complete compromise of an enterprise, using the Extrusion Detection framework itself as the vehicle.

Since the state of California passed the Database Security Breach Notification Act (SB 1386) in 2003 another 34 states have passed similar legislation with more set to follow.

In January 2007 TJX announced they had suffered a database security breach with 45.6 million credits card details stolen - the largest known breach so far.

In 2006 there were 335 publicized breaches in the U.S.; in 2005 there were 116 publicized breaches; between 1st January and March 31st of 2007, a 90 day period, there have been 85 breaches publicized.

There are 0 (zero) database-specific forensic analysis and incident response tools, commercial or free, available to computer crime investigators. Indeed, until very recently, there was pretty much no useful information out that could help.

By delving into the guts of an Oracle database's data files and redo logs, this talk will examine where the evidence can be found in the event of a database compromise and show how to extract this information to show who did what, when. The presentation will begin with a demonstration of a complete compromise via a SQL injection attack in an Oracle web application server and then performing an autopsy. The talk will finish by introducing an open source tool called the Forensic Examiner's Database Scalpel (F.E.D.S.).

Targeting an enterprise attack at just a few employees seems to be yielding the best results, since it lowers the risk of discovering the exploit. Yet the typical DNS cache poisoning approach, aimed at various levels in the DNS server hierarchy or the enterprise server itself, is not as effective as it could be, primarily because so many people are affected that detection is rapid...

There is one approach to DNS cache poisoning that can control the attack surface and is particularly effective when executed from within the enterprise. Rather than attempting to poison the enterprise DNS server or other external caches, the internal DNS cache within a Windows PC is targeted. Additionally, forensic analysis of the infected PC is hindered by the TimeToLive and volatility of these cache entries.

I will demonstrate this type of attack using two machines on a local lan, and include some analysis of the firewall and configuration issues needed to defend against this type of exploit.

The financial industry isn't built on HTTP/HTTPS and web services like everything else. It has its own set of protocols, built off of some simple building blocks that it employs in order to make sure: that positions are tracked in real time, that any information that might affect a traders action is reliably received, and that trades happens in a fixed timeframe.

Unlike the protocols that comprise the internet as a whole, these haven't been scrutinized to death for security flaws. They're written with performance in mind and security is often just an afterthought, if present at all. And there are dozens of them, with names you may have never heard of before...

This talk will discuss the security implications of the protocols and technologies used by the financial industry to maintain the beating heart of capitalism. We'll take a look at some of the most popular protocols used by financials to execute billions (trillions!) of dollars worth of trades, discuss the flaws inherent in them, some of the implementation flaws in them, and discuss how hiding your money under your mattress might not be the worst idea.

The presentation will disclose new attacks and weaknesses associated with protocols that are used to establish and protect VoIP communications. In addition, a newer "unpublished" version of the SIVuS tool will be demoed.

RDS-TMC is a standard based on RDS (Radio Data System) for communicating over FM radio Traffic Information for Satellite Navigation Systems.

All modern in-car Satellite Navigation systems sold in Europe use RDS-TMC to receive broadcasts containing up to date information about traffic conditions such as queues and accidents and provide detours in case they affect the plotted course. The system is increasingly being used around Europe and North America.

The audience will be introduced to RDS/RDS-TMC concepts and protocols and we'll show how to decode/encode such messages using a standard PC and cheap home-made electronics, with the intent of injecting information in the broadcast RDS-TMC stream manipulating the information displayed by the satellite navigator.

We'll discover the obscure (but scary!) messages that can be broadcast (and that are not usually seen over legitimate RDS-TMC traffic), the limits of standard SatNav systems when flooded with unusual messages and the role that RDS-TMC injection / jamming can play in social engineering attempts (hitmen in the audience will love this!).

In order to maximize the presentation we'll also demo the injection...hopefully at low power so that we won't piss off local radio broadcasts.

Virtualization is changing how operating systems function and how enterprises manage data centers. Windows Server Virtualization, a component of Windows Server 2008, will introduce new virtualization capabilities to the Windows operating system. This talk will focus on security model of the system, with emphasis on design choices and deployment considerations. Aspects of virtualization security related to hardware functions will also be explored.
