Advanced Web Hacking – Securing Ajax, RIA and SOA

Introduction and adaptation of new technologies like Ajax, Rich Internet Applications and Web Services has changed the dimension of Application Hacking. We are witnessing new ways of hacking web-based applications and it needs better understanding of technologies to secure applications. The only constant in this space is change. In this dynamically changing scenario in the era of Web 2.0 it is important to understand new threats that emerge in order to build constructive strategies to protect corporate application assets. Application layers are evolving and lots of client side attack vectors are on the rise like Ajax based XSS, CSRF, Widget injections, RSS exploits, Mashup manipulations and client side logic exploitations. At the same time various new attack vectors are evolving around SOA by attacking SOAP, XML-RPC and REST. It is time to understand these advanced attack vectors and defense strategies.

Secure Coding Class in Singapore

We are conducting class in Singapore from 25th-27th November. Detail over here

Description

Enterprise application source code, independent of languages and platforms, is a major source of vulnerabilities. The class is designed and developed to focus on enterprise architecture and application analytics to discover vulnerabilities. One of the CSI surveys on vulnerability distribution suggests that in 64% of cases, a vulnerability crops up due to programming errors and in 36% of cases, due to configuration issues. We will be covering analysis techniques, with tools, for assessment and review of enterprise application source code. Enterprise 2.0 and mashups, along with other different Web 2.0 concepts, reinforced by hands-on experience, will help in understanding next generation application requirements.

It is imperative to know source code review methodologies and strategies for analysis. The emphasis of the class would be to develop a complete understanding of source code analysis, audit methodologies, techniques and tools. Knowledge gained would help in analyzing and securing enterprise applications at all different stages - architecture, design and/or development. The course is designed by the author of "Web Hacking: Attacks and Defenses", "Hacking Web Service" and "Web 2.0 Security - Defending Ajax, RIA and SOA", bringing his experience in application security and research to the curriculum. Special focus is given to compliance and Top-25 errors for enterprise applications.

This class is hands-on and needs laptops to implement its numerous exercises designed to run hand-in-hand with their concepts. The class features real life cases, hands-on exercises, code scanning tools and defense plans. Participants would be methodically taken down to the source code level and exposed to the possible flaws in architecture, design and coding practices. The class would then focus on the proper ways of writing secure code and analyzing the code base.

Talk on - Application Source Code Audit - Why, What and How

Enterprise application source code, independent of languages and platforms, is a major source of vulnerabilities. This talk is designed to focus on enterprise architecture and application analytics to discover vulnerabilities. One of the CSI surveys on vulnerability distribution suggests that in 64% of cases, a vulnerability crops up due to programming errors and in 36% of cases, due to configuration issues. We will be covering analysis and audit techniques, for assessment and review of enterprise application source code. Essentially all three important aspects of the audit will be addresses – Why it is needed, What to do and how to achieve.

Paper from Blueinfy Labs - Cross Widget DOM Spying

Widgets, Gadgets or Modules are very common and powerful feature of Web 2.0 applications. It converts single loaded page in the browser to multi-threaded application. It allows end user to work on multiple little utilities and windows from one page. Widget framework is supported by various Ajax libraries and lot of code is getting created by developers to allow this feature. Once framework is in place various different users can leverage APIs and libraries to develop their own little widget and deploy on the application domain. Any user of the application can register that widget and start utilizing its feature. This scenario opens up possibility of Cross Widget DOM Spying. This paper is going to describe that scenario and its understanding.

Article on Web 2.0 cases and challenges is part of (IN)Secure magazine.

You can read it over here (March 09).

Abstract for the article.

Web 2.0 applications are emerging at a rapid pace and also penetrating deeper into the corporate structure as Enterprise 2.0 applications. Adaptations of Ajax, Flex, SOA, RSS Feeds, JSON structures, etc. are used continuously across applications. Old applications are getting a new look through these technologies and platforms, while fresh applications are written using only these building blocks.

By the end of 2008 we have seen and assessed a good amount of applications that are now well molded into a Web 2.0 framework. A Web 2.0 application adaptation is not restricted to one industry segment but applicable to all verticals like financing, insurance, portals, etc. If the Internet is the network of networks then Web 2.0 can be perceived as the application of applications.
