Welcome and a brief update on OWASP Projects, Events and Conferences from the OWASP London Chapter Leaders
"Introducing the OWASP ZAP Heads Up Display (HUD)" - Simon Bennetts (@psiinon)
The OWASP Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) is one of the world’s most popular and best maintained free and open source security tools. It has a powerful desktop UI, a highly functional API and is used by everyone from people new to security, including developers and QA, right up to professional pentesters. It’s also more complex for newcomers than we would like. We are therefore introducing a new Heads Up Display (HUD) interface which overlays data and controls for ZAP over the web based application being tested.
"Incident Response in Your Pyjamas" - Paco Hope (@pacohope)
When security incidents happen, you often have to respond in a hurry to gather forensic data from the resources that were involved. You might need to grab a bunch of hard drives and physically visit the data centre to capture data from the systems. Getting on airplanes and going to data centres means you have to get dressed, and that's a drag. When infrastructure is in the cloud, you have remote access and APIs for managing all your infrastructure, so you can respond to incidents with automation and do your forensic analysis in your bunny slippers. But is it as good as the capabilities you have in a data centre? Is getting dressed the price you have to pay for high quality forensics and incident response? In this talk Paco will explain the two major domains of cloud events (infrastructure domain and service domain) and describe the security and incident response techniques pioneered by AWS customers like Mozilla, Alfresco, and Netflix. He'll explain how to isolate resources to preserve the integrity of the data; get RAM dumps and disk image snapshots; and identify unauthorised changes to cloud resources using API tools and logs. And all of this while wearing pyjamas.
"Developers - The Lucrative Target for Social Engineers" - Stuart Peck (@cybersecstu)
Developers are a lucrative target for attackers, especially those with public profiles, active on social media, and working on either high profile application and open source projects. The recent attack against an NPM package with malicious code that targeted a popular Bitcoin wallet was subject to a social engineering attack, where the attacker was able to trick the maintainer to hand over ownership, is one of the many examples this is an ever increasing vector This talk looks to explore how exposed some developers are and the impacts this can have either through the supply chain and/or directly to organisations. During this talk will we will demonstrate and discuss:
* Open Source Intelligence- recon techniques
* Profiling targets, repos, developer backgrounds, coding style, digital footprint
* Pretext creation – building trust and establishing legitimacy
* Example Vishing calls, phishing emails, and case studies
* What developers can do to challenge and reduce the impact of Social Engineering
