Updated: Links for Doxing, Personal OSInt, Profiling, Footprinting,
Cyberstalking
I have to give presentation on online privacy shortly, and figured it would be a
good time to update the page above with a few new links. See the change log at
the bottom. If you have more good links to add, please contact me. I'll also be
speaking at TakeDownCon St. Louis
on webshells so I've updated my
Webshell
Collection Page to keep a log of not only live webshells, but also keep a
history of dead ones. |

Outerz0ne 9 Dates Announced: April 5-6th,
2013
I know it's a little short notice, but dates and the CFP have been announced for
Outerz0ne 2013: April 5-6th, 2013 in Atlanta Georgia. I'll of course be there
helping out the video crew. It's a donation based con, so give what you can. To
see videos from past years, check out:
Outerz0ne 8 (2012) Videos
Outerz0ne 2011 Hacker Con
Outerz0ne 2010 Videos
and a bunch of others spread out over the
Hacking
Illustrated page.
In other news, Jessica Miller from No Starch Press wanted me to announce
this:
"We've just released the free PDF of bunnie's "Hacking the Xbox" in Aaron
Swartz's honor, with links to support the causes Aaron believed in. I thought
you might be interested in seeing bunnie's note and helping to spread the word -
http://nostarch.com/xboxfree "
I did not know Aaron, but as a person who has be screwed by an uncaring
cover-ass bureaucracy before, I can sympathize. |

Introduction to HTML Injection (HTMLi) and Cross Site Scripting (XSS) Using
Mutillidae
New Video From Jeremy Druin:
This video covers the basics of injecting HTML into sites with vulnerabilities
in which injected code is placed inline with intended code and executes in the
users browser. The injected HTML in this video is a fake login box that posts
the user username and password to a capture data page (in the NOWASP Mutillidae
application).
Later the same vulnerability is used to inject cross site scripting attack that
hooks the users browser with a Beef Framework script (hook.js) given an attacker
control of the users browser. |

Introduction to Pen Testing Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
New Video From Jeremy Druin:
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used on networked devices to
read, write, and update device configuration remotely. Windows desktop systems
typically do not run SNMP services by default but these can be enabled for
testing. Server operating systems often run snmp services by default as do
network devices such as routers, printers, special purpose equipment, switches,
and firewalls.
In this video, a Windows XP box has SNMP enabled to act as a test target. A
Backtrack 5 R3 host is used to perform assessment. The video progresses through
host discovery, port identification, service verification, finding community
strings, dumping device configuration, and altering device configuration. |

On the non-info-sec related front, you know I like to use my backlinks to get
things in search results as sort of a bully pulpit. It's my understanding that
IU Southeast Chancellor Sandra R. Patterson-Randles is searching for a new
job because of some IU policy about mandatory retirement. Ask around the
faculty/staff at
IUS
about her (off the record of course) before you make a hiring decision.
Personally, I'd want someone who cares more about the espoused values of the
organization, and less about appearances only. Then again, maybe she has the
skill set you are looking for, but a parrot with good grammar would seem to be a
much cheaper solution in that case. |

Information Security in University Campus and Open Environments 2013
This is an update of an article I did almost 8 years ago. Lots of things have
changed in that time, do I figured the update was in order. It almost acts as a
meta-page to other parts of my site, but I hope you enjoy it.

Webshell
Collection Page Updated
I have a script I run against my web logs periodically to see if anyone is
trying to use a Remote File Include Webshell against my site. I wrote this
awhile back, but the list was getting long and there were a lot of 404s,
duplicates, and other problems. I've filtered out many of those. If you want to
take a look at some Webshell that are in active use on the Internet you may like
this page. |

IU
Southeast School of Business / MBA Write-up Updated
I've made many small changes over the months to my IUS MBA Review site (change
log). I realize that this page is not very security related, but I can tie
it to infosec in a few ways (regular readers, please ignore the noise in the
signal). Lots of infosec folks I know seem to go for an MBA if they want to get
into management, so I figured it might help some of the infosec folks in the
Louisville Metro area (Kentuckiana Metroversity) know what to avoid. It's also
an opportune time since some students are about to finish their bachelors in the
spring, and will start looking for grad schools now. I can tie it in as an
experiment in how some spiders index sites. I've done a bit of
forensic metadata work on a file
I received via an open records request that might be interesting as well, but
it's not in-depth. It may also help people who have to deal with bureaucracies
that have people like
Jay White,
Jon Bingham, Linda Christiansen and Gil Atnip in them know that they are not
alone. Hopefully I'll be able to work with the
IU Southeast SGA to get a real grievance policy put in place over the spring
semester so students are treated with more respect. |

MadMACs: MAC Address Spoofing and Host Name Randomizing App for Windows 7
(Should work in Windows Vista and Windows 8 too) Updated
I wrote MadMACs awhile back, as a simple script to randomize my MAC address (and
host name) in Windows on every boot. I had not updated it in a long time so it
stopped working well in newer versions of Windows (Windows 7, Windows Vista and
Windows 8). When someone would try to get MadMACs to work on a newer version of
the OS, Windows would not always respect the registry setting for what MAC
address they were suppose to use. Seems that if it is a wireless interface, the
2nd nibble has to be a 2, 6, A or an E on Windows Vista and newer. I included
functionality in the new version of MadMACs to make sure this nibble is correct
if you tell it the NIC you are trying to change/randomize the MAC address on is
a WiFi card. I've also added a GUI for configuring your MAC addresses on your
network cards (the old version used prompts), made the config file more INI
like, and made it so that MadMACs itself can reset your adapter and start using
the new MAC address immediately (name changes will take a reboot). |

Introduction to buffer overflows from ISSA KY workshop 6 and two other videos
from Jeremy Druin
Mutillidae: Using ettercap and sslstrip to capture login
This video by webpwnized (@webpwnized) reviews how to intercept web
communications using ettercap and intercept web traffic that is supposed to be
protected with SSL using SSLStrip.
Mutillidae SQL Injection via AJAX request with JSON response
This video by webpwnized (@webpwnized) covers pen-testing an SQL Injection
vulnerability that occurs in an AJAX request made in the background. The
response from the server is JSON. Since AJAX requests and regular request work
the same way (since they both follow the rules of the HTTP protocol), the AJAX
request can be pen-tested using the same tools and tecniques used with the more
traditional requests. The SQL Injection flaw is first discovered then used to
pull a list of the tables in the database along with the columns for the target
table. Once the target is identified, the defect is used to pull a list of the
username and password fields.
Introduction to buffer overflows from ISSA KY workshop 6
This recording is from the Kentucky ISSA Workshop #6 from the November 2012
meeting. In part 5, using Metasploit was covered. In this workshop, buffer
overflow vulnerabilities were examined more closely to see how Metasploit
exploits might be written. A custom program is written with a known buffer
overflow and compiled without the stack canaries or non-executable stack. Also
ASLR is disabled on the Ubuntu 12.04 testing host. The program is fuzzed to
determine an overflow exists and decompiled with GDB to look at the program
logic more closely. Python scripts are used to generate exploits that get closer
to over-writing the return pointer with a user supplied value. Once the buffer
overflow is identified and the size of the buffer found, the exploit development
begins. A custom exploit is developed to inject shellcode into the buffer,
determine a reasonable memory address in which to jump, and a root shell gained. |

How To Upgrade To Latest Mutillidae On Samurai WTF 2
Jeremy Druin has a new video:
This video covers upgrading the default version of NOWASP (Mutillidae) which
comes with SamuraiWTF 2.0 with the latest available version. On this particular
version of SamuraiWTF 2.0, NOWASP (Mutillidae) 2.1.20 was installed in the ISO.
The latest version of NOWASP (Mutillidae) available at the time of this video
was 2.3.7. In the video, the hosts file responsible for activating the links to
the "target" web applications was modified so the default web applications would
work. Also, the "samurai" start up script is reviewed to show why the LiveCD
version of Samurai includes working web app targets but the installed version
requires the targets be "activated". The video then covers how to upgrade the
existing default installation of NOWASP (Mutillidae) with the latest available
version. Additionally, the video discusses how to run the default version and
latest version of NOWASP (Mutillidae) side-by-side or replace the existing
installation with the latest version.

Installing Latest Mutillidae On Samurai WTF Version 2
Jeremy Druin has a new video:
Samurai WTF is an excellent platform for web pen testing. A very large number of
tools are already included. An older version of NOWASP Mutillidae comes
pre-installed. This video covers installing the latest version on Samurai WTF
2.0. Installation requires downloading the latest verion of NOWASP Mutillidae,
unzipping the Zip file which contains a single folder named "mutillidae", and
placing the "mutillidae" folder into /var/www directory. Configuration is done
by opening the /var/www/mutillidae/classes/MySQLHandler.php file and changing
the default MySQL password from blank empty string to "samurai". Starting the
project is done by browsing to http://localhost/mutillidae and clicking the
Reset-DB button on the menu bar. |

Web Shells and
RFIs Collection
I wrote a little script to periodically look through my web logs for unique RFIs
and Web Shells, and then collect them on one page where I can go look at them or
download them to add to my Web Shell library. Many of these attacks are repeated
multiple time, so I ignore the time fields in judging if an RFI/Web Shell is
unique. I may have to weed this over time as I imagine many of the links to Web
Shells will be 404ing over time. I also use nofollow and a referrer hiding
service so it does not look like I'm attacking anyone with the web shells. This
page will also let you link off to firebwall.com where you can use their PHP
decoder to look at the obfuscated code. Enjoy my Web Shell zoo, it should update
itself every hour or so. If you see your domain on the list of websites hosting
Web Shells you are likely pwned and should clean up your server. |

Teensy 3.0
As many of my readers know I've done a lot of work with the Teensy 2.0 in
projects such as the
programmable HID USB keyboard and my own
hardware keylogger. Now Paul Stoffregen is coming out with a new version,
Teensy 3.0. You should still have the easy of development that comes with
the Arduino framework (or more raw C/C++ if you like) but there are two major new
features, of many, that I'm excited about: More powerful 32 bit ARM Cortex-M4
and USB host support. Go check out Paul's Kickstarter page for more details and
added features. |

SSH Phone Home: Using the Raspberry Pi as a proxy/pivot (Shovel a Shell)
I added a new section to my Raspberry Pi recipes page that covers setting up a
Raspberry Pi to send you a Reverse Shell using SSH (AKA: Shovel a shell). This
is pretty good for blowing past NAT and some firewalls with weak egress
filtering. The idea is that you can use these as drop boxes to leave on someone
else's network, then have them remote back out to you. These instructions should
work pretty much the same on any *nix device or distro that uses OpenSSH. |

Irongeek's Logwatch Script To Grep For RFI, Webshells, Password Grabs, Web
Scanners, Etc.
This is a simple script I put together for those using shared hosting providers.
It let's you grep through your logs for things like RFIs, likely webshells,
passwords grabs, web scanners, etc. The video below gives more details. This can
be a great tool for collecting webshells. |

Jeremy Druin
has two new Mutillidae/Web Pen-testing videos
Setting User Agent String And Browser Information
Introduction to user-agent switching: This video uses the Firefox add-on
"User-Agent Switcher" to modify several settings in the browser that are
transmitted in the user agent string inside HTTP requests. Some web applications
will show different content depending on the user agent setting making
alteration of the settings useful in web pen testing.
Walkthrough Of CBC Bit Flipping Attack With Solution
This video shows a solution to the view-user-privilege-level in Mutillidae.
Before viewing, review how XOR works and more importantly that XOR is
communicative (If A xor B = C then it must be true that A xor C = B and also
true that B xor C = A). The attack in the video takes advantage that the
attacker knows the IV (initialization vector) and the plaintext (user ID). The
attack works by flipping each byte in the IV to see what effect is produced on
the plaintext (User ID). When the correct byte is located, the ciphertext for
that byte is recovered followed by a determination of the correct byte to
inject. The correct value is injected to cause the User ID to change.
Mutillidae is available for download at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mutillidae/. Updates about Mutillidae are
tweeted to @webpwnized along
with announcements about video releases. |

Indiana University Southeast School of Business/MBA Review Updated: Emails
from Gil Atnip, Alan Jay White, Lawyer Cover Plate, Etc.
Hi all. Don't worry, I'll be back to infosec content soon (with a posting of
the BsidesLV videos). In the mean time, I just wanted to make an update post
about the situation I shared with you awhile back (see change log at the
bottom of the
IUS MBA
page). It seems many of the faulty/admins at IUS have been told to responded
to be with only an IU lawyer cover plate response that tells me to contact
IU Counsel. Unfortunately, the contacts I have at IU Counsel are not
responding to my requests either at this point. Another interesting tidbit,
seems someone has forwarded my MBA review site to the campus police (reverse
DNS lookup for the win), though I have little idea what allegations may have
been made (and they are not saying). I've posted the details on all this to
the page. At this point there is not much I can do but shut up and go away,
as is their intention, but I do ask for something from my readers. If you
know of an organization that cares about academic abuses/student rights to
due process, please forward them to the page. If you are a web admin, please
just link to the page so it's easier for perspective students to find if
they search for it. Thanks for your time. |

Basic Output via Raspberry Pi's GPIO and Serial/UART to an Arduinio or Teensy
I added a "recipe" for using the Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins to interface
with a
Teensy (which means it is also no problem to talk to an Arduino). I've
included simple code, schematics/diagrams and videos to demonstrate. Right
now I'm just outputting from the Raspberry Pi to the Teensy, but input
should not be a problem either with the linked to resources. |

Gaining Administrative Shell Access Via Command Injection
Here is another one from Jeremy Druin (@webpwnized):
Using command injection against the Mutillidae web application, we gain a root
shell (Administrative Windows cmd shell). The server is fully patched with
anti-virus running and a firewall blocking port 23. Additionally the telnet
service is disabled. With the command injection vulnerability, this video
demonstrates how misconfiguring web services can have serious consequences for
security. Additionally we review how to remediate command injection
vulnerabilities and discuss some of the defects which expose the server to
compromise.

Review of
the IUS (Indiana University Southeast) MBA Program (and a bit about filing
student grievances)
Most of my writings are on Information security, but this one delves into
something else. It may still be of interest to those with a security mindset. I
hope that it will serve two purposes: 1. To help other students that file
grievances against faculty learn from my experience, and 2. convince those
interested in pursuing an MBA in the Louisville area to go someplace other than
the IUS MBA program. |

Jeremy Druin did some more Mutillidae/Web Pen-testing videos
At some point, I will start putting up some of my own content :) I have done
some tricks that I hope will make the page load better, but I'm not sure about
the browser compatibility. In the mean time, here is some more of Jeremy's work:
Using Metasploit Hashdump Post Exploit Module Creds Table And John
This video shows how to have the hashdump post exploitation module automatically
populate the creds table in the metasploit database, then export the credentials
to a file suitible to pass to the john the ripper tool in order to audit the
passwords.
Using Metasploit Community Edition To Determine Exploit For Vulnerability
In previous versions of Metasploit it was possible to run "db_autopwn -t -x" in
the msfcomsole in order to have metasploit guess the best exploits for a given
vulnerability. This video looks at alternative functionality for the depreciated
"db_autopwn -t -x" option in older versions of Metasploit's msfconsole.
Metasploit Community Edition has similar exploit analysis functionality
accessible via the web based GUI.

More Mutillidae/Web Pen-testing videos from Jeremy Druin Jeremy had two
more videos for you. It's beginning to become a load problem with all the iframe
embedded videos :). I'm willing to take suggestions.
Using Hydra To Brute Force Web Forms Based Authentication Over Http
This video covers using nmap to ping sweep network then discover ports on two
machines to locate a web server on which Mutillidae is running. Once the web
server is running, the site is loaded into Firefox and the login page is
located. Using View-Source, Burp-Suite, and the sites registration, the login
process is studied. Potential usernames are gathered from using Reconnoitter,
CeWL, and the sites own blog page. A password file from john the ripper is used.
With the potential usernames and passwords in hand, hydra is used in
http-post-form mode to search for a username and password which can log into the
site.
Connect To Unreachable Web Site Through Meterpreter Port Forwarding
This video covers accessing a web site that is normally unreachable from our
Backtrack 5 box. However, after gaining a session on a third box, we forward our
web browser through the compromised host in order to browse the website. The
port forwarding is done via a meterpreter session on the compromised host. After
setting up the port forward, the browser is able to use the compromised host as
a relay (almost like a web proxy) in order to browse to the "internal" web
application. |

More Mutillidae/Web Pen-testing videos from Jeremy Druin Three more great videos from Jeremy Druin
(@webpwnized ):
Detailed Look At Linux Traceroute
This video takes a detailed look at the traceroute program in Linux. The newer
traceroute is used (version 2.0.18). The later versions have the ability to send
packets of different protocols (i.e. TCP) to the target. This feature was
previously found in the LFT (Layer Four Traceroute) tool but not found in the
Linux traceroute. While LFT still is more feature-rich than the traceroute built
into Linux, the new features in Linux traceroute make the tool very useful and
quite capible. It helps to understand how the traceroute tool forms the packets,
to what ports the packets are sent, and what protocols can be used to send the
packets. This information can be used to get traceroute commands to work through
firewalls and HIPS systems when ICMP and/or UDP and/or most TCP ports are
blocked.
Introduction To TCPDump Network Sniffer
This video is an introduction to the tcpdump network packet sniffer/capture
tool. The video is relatively long because of the demo used required "building
up" to the HTTP capture. The video only covers the basics but is meant to be a
good introduction to practical use of tcpdump.
Basics Of Using The Maltego Reconnaissance Graphing Tool
This video looks at using Maltego to both gather and organize information in a
customer pen-test. Maltego is a GUI-based tool for Linux which is included in
the Backtrack 5 R2 release. The tool is able to gather information from public
sources on entities. The Community Edition (used in this video) is free. There
is a paid-version with more features. The site used in this video is
irongeek.com and was used with written permission from the owner. If following
along, please use a domain for which you have permission. |

Finding Comments And File Metadata Using Multiple Techniques
Jeremy Druin has made a new video:
This video has two related parts. The first part discusses finding the comments
in Mutillidae related to the "comments challenge". This is an easy challenge in
Mutillidae but the techniques can be extended to search entire sites for
comments. The second part of the video looks at finding metadata in general
using a variety of tools.
The tools used are Firefox "View Source", W3AF, grep, wget, Burp Suite, exiftool
and strings. The demo site used is Mutillidae, which is a free open-source fully
functional PHP site with a MySQL database. The site runs on localhost or it can
be run in a virtual network as a practice target or capture the flag target. It
is not a good idea to run Mutillidae publically because it will get hacked.
Mutillidae is available at Sourceforge and Irongeek.com. Along with the project
is several documents and an installation guide for Windows 7.Also, I updated
the
Pen-testing practice in a box: How to assemble a virtual network post to fix
an audio issue (it was cutting out after a certain amount of time). |

Mutillidae How To Use Dradis To Organize Nmap And Nessus Scan Results
New video from
Jeremy Druin:
The latest version of Dradis (2.9) has excellent import speed compared to
version 2.7. This video looks at using the import features of Dradis to organize
the scan results from an nmap scan and a Nessus 5 scan. Dradis is a tool that
allows pen testers, auditors, and vulnerability assessors to organize their work
by server or other categories. The Dradis starts a web server which other team
members can share information as well. |

also added a table of the homoglyphs I'm using. |
| 04/01/2012 |
Two More Web Security Videos From
Jeremy Druin
Jeremy Druin has made two more videos:
How To Upgrade To Nessus 5 On Backtrack 5 R2
This video looks at upgrading
Nessus 4 to Nessus 5. The operating system used in the video is Backtrack 5 R2.
Nessus 4 was successfully registered and running on this OS prior to attempting
to upgrade to Nessus 5. If a fresh Nessus install is needed, the process is
different.
Creating Reports And Metasploit Db Importable Reports With Nmap Xml Output
Nmap reporting is excellent with the XML option but this is not used in a lot
of cases. The XML output from nmap can be imported into other tools such as the
Metasploit Community Edition (Import button), metasploit DB, and other tools.
Also, the XML format can be opened in a web browser to produce a well-formatted
report suitable for attachment to a pen-test. |

This video looks at manual testing for directory browsing misconfiguration
vulnerabilities in Mutillidae. For directory browsing brute forcing, OWASP
DiRBuster or Burp-Suite Intruder are great tools. However, Mutillidae gives away
some of its directory paths when serving PDF and other files. These can be
tested manually to reveal the Mutillidae Easter egg file. Also common directory
names like "include" and "includes" can be tried quickly just using a browser
before firing up the tools. |

Password Exploitation Class (YouTube Migration)
I've migrated the "Password Exploitation Class" to YouTube. This should allow it
to be viewed on more devices.This is a class we gave for the Kentuckiana ISSA
on the the subject of password exploitation. The Password Exploitation Class was
put on as a charity event for the Matthew Shoemaker Memorial Fund. The speakers
were Dakykilla,
Purehate_ and Irongeek. |

Anti-Forensics: Occult Computing Class (YouTube Migration)
I've migrated the "Anti-Forensics: Occult Computing Class" to YouTube. This
should allow it to be viewed on more devices.This is a class I gave for the
Kentuckiana ISSA on the the subject of Anti-forensics. It's about 3 hours long,
and sort of meandering, but I hope you find it handy. For the record, Podge was
operating the camera :) Apparently it was not on me during the opening joke, but
so be it, no one seemed to get it. I spend way to much time on the Internet it
seems. Also, I'm in need of finding video host to take these large files. This
class video is 3 hours, 7 min and 1.2GB as captured. |

OSInt, Cyberstalking, Footprinting and Recon: Getting to know you (YouTube
Migration)
I've migrated the "OSInt, Cyberstalking, Footprinting and Recon: Getting to know
you" to YouTube. This should allow it to be viewed on more devices.The
following are videos from the Footprinting/OSInt/Recon/Cyberstalking class I did
up in Fort Wayne Indiana for the Northeast Indiana Chapter of ISSA. I've split
the class into three videos by subtopic, and included the text from the
presentation for quick linking. |

Mutillidae Injecting Cross Site Script Into Logging Pages Via Cookie Injection
Jeremy has made another video (I can't keep up):
By setting the values of browser cookies, then purposely browsing to a web page
that logs the value of user cookies, it may be possible to inject cross site
scripts into the log files or the log data table of the web site. Later when the
logs are reviewed by Administrators, the cross site scripts may execute in the
administrators browser. The video uses the Mutillidae capture data pages as an
example. In Mutillidae one of the capture the flag events is to poison the
attackers browser by purposely exposes the attacker to a cross site script. This
can be done by infecting a cookie then "letting" the attacker trick you into
visiting the capture data page. |
| 03/24/2012 |
Mutillidae Generate Cross Site Scripts With SQL Injection
Jeremy has made another video:
This video discusses an advanced SQL injection technique. The SQL injection is
used to generate cross site scripting. This is useful when cross site scripts
cannot be injected into a webpage from a client because web application
firewalls or other scanners are in place. When an SQL injection can be snuck
past the WAF, it is possible to have the SQL injection generate the Cross Site
Script dynamically. |

DOJOCON
2010 Videos Migrated To YouTube
I've started to migrate the con videos I record and embed on this site to
YouTube. I'm doing this for a few reasons:
1. Vimeo took down Dave Marcus' talk because they said it was in
violation of their TOS, and when I tried to explain to them what it was about
they would not email me back (and I was a paying customer to their service at the
time).
2. I'm now allowed longer videos on YouTube, so why not.
3. This should support more devices.
I've started with DOJOCON 2010 to get Dave's talk back up. Below
are the videos from the conference, at least the ones I can show :), enjoy.

Web Application Pen-testing Tutorials With Mutillidae
When I started the
Mutillidae project it was with the intention of using it as a teaching tool
and making easy to understand video demos. Truth be told, I never did as much
with it as I intended. However, after Jeremy Druin (@webpwnized)
took over the development it really took off. I have since come to find out he
has been doing A LOT of YouTube video tutorials with Mutillidae, which he said I
could share here. I will be copying his descriptions with slight editing and

Shared Hosting MD5 Change Detection Script
I was wanting a simple shell script that would monitor the files on a site, and
report any changed via email.
Dave Kennedy's Artillery was
close to what I needed (and does a lot more), but I wanted something I could run
on my shared hosting account. This is what I came up with, for better or worse.
If nothing else, it was a good exercise in BASH scripting, and may come in handy
for those that want to make something similar. |

with explanations as to what I was doing to set the permissions such as read,
write, execute, SetUID, SetGID and the Stickybit. Kevin Benton created the lab,
so I'd like to give him credit for inspiring me to do this video. |

Video Posted and Code Updated for Homemade Hardware Keylogger
My video from NeoISF is now posted:
PHUKD/Keylogger
Hybrid.
The code has been updated in the following ways:
On the PIC side: Updated Firmware for the USB Host Module - PIC24FJ256GB106
to work with more keyboards.
On the Teensy side:
0.04:
* If a keyboard was plugged in after the keylogger was already
powered on, it would type "i7-". I added code
to fix this problem.
* Fixed RAW serial debug mode not to print key
* Changed name of variable "lasttenletters" to "lastfewletters" and
expanded it to 60.
* Ctrl+Alt+Y is now used for typing more debugging details.
* Implemented likely to fail code for unlocking workstation using
captured password.
* I had some problems with running out of SRAM because of all of my
static strings. I started using the F()
function to pull these strings from flash memory to solve this
issue.
* Fixed a case issue with lastfewletters. I did not know the method
changed it in place.
* Fixed a bug in HIDtoASCII that made it top row of number keys not
work right. |
| 12/08/2011 |
DIY USB And PS/2 Hardware Keyloggers/PHUKD Hybrids Updated
I've updated my Do It Yourself Keylogger's project site with the following
information.
I've uploaded improved code,
Just PS/2:
* Converted ints to bytes in many places. Why take the extra space? :)
Both USB and PS/2:
* Made sure it worked with Arduino 1.0.
* Switched to using the SD library that comes with Teensyduino (from the
comments, it looks like
it's a wrapper by SparkFun Electronics around William Greiman's work).
* Changed the variables "file" to "logfile" and "filename" to "logfilename" to
be less ambiguous.
I also embedded my talk from Skydogcon and pasted my class project report on
the end which gives a lot more details about how this hardware keylogger was
created and why. |

Programmable HID USB Keystroke Dongle Library Updated With OS X Functionality
I updated the PHUKD library to 0.4. There are some new function. OS X Spotlight
and Terminal code was provided by Adam Baldwin and Aaron Howell
ngenuity-is.com /
evilpacket.net.
jp (.ronin) http://www.hackfromacave.com also
provide some source code for the OS X side, but I ended up using Adam and
Aaron's. The functions added were:extern void CommandAtRunBarOSX(char *SomeCommand);
extern void CommandAtNewTerminal(char *SomeCommand);
extern void ShrinkCurWinOSX();
I also tested to make sure it worked with Arduino 1.0. |

Mutillidae 2.1.7 Deliberately Vulnerable Web App Updated (a lot) Jeremy
Druin has been doing a lot of work on Mutillidae since I last posted to the
front page/rss about it. Here is the change long since the last time I mentioned
it:
Change Log for Mutillidae 2.1.7:
Added a new page for HTML5 storage. The page is meant to show how to both use
and attack HTML5 storage. The page supports Local and Session storage types. The
user can attack the storage in two contexts. They can act as if they want to
read to contents of their own browsers session storage to see if the developer
put authorization tokens or other items into the storage. They can also try to
use XSS to steal the session storage. In this use-case the user would be acting
as if they wanted to read someone elses storage. A large number of hints has
been added to the page. The page name is "html5-storage.php" and can be accessed
from the Cross Site Scripting menu and information leakage menu. In security
level zero, the page has no defenses. In level 1, the page will use trivial
JavaScript validation. In security level 5, the page will refuse to put the
secrets in client side storage.
11/13/2011: Jeremy Druin / Kenny Kurtz
Change Log for Mutillidae 2.1.6:
Enhanced the .htaccess file to automatically disable magic quotes on systems
which enable them by default (such as some OSX versions of PHP)
Fixed some bugs in the phpinfo.php file that made the page display weird.
Enhanced the hidden PHPINFO page so that it would work if the user browsed to
http://localhost/mutillidae/index.php?page=phpinfo.php or to http://localhost/mutillidae/phpinfo.php.
This example assumes Mutillidae is running on localhost.
Fixed a bug in index.php that kept the log-visit page from being included.
Fixed a bug in log-visit.php that kept the page from working.
Fixed installation instructions format for IE 8 not in compatibility mode.
11/10/2011: Jeremy Druin
Change Log for Mutillidae 2.1.5:
Added vuln to login sequence. Now a cookie is created with username. Students
should try to XSS the cookie and see what happens. Also try a response splitting
attack because a cookie is an HTTP header.
Created new twitter feed to make Mutillidae announcements and other web
vulnerability tweaks. @webpwnized
Fixed installation instructions format for IE 8 not in compatibility mode
10/14/2011: Jeremy Druin
Change Log for Mutillidae 2.1.4:
Moved usage instructions and php errors from the home page to their own pages.
In insecure mode, changed the method of the user-info.php page to GET in order
to make it easier to use sqlmap against Mutillidae. sqlmap supports POST but it
is easier to use with GET.
Added hints about sqlmap to sql injection tutorial and to the easter egg file
Added a credit card table as a target in the database
Confirmed that the view-blog table can be attacked with sqlmap. The answer is in
the Easter Egg file.
10/13/2011: Jeremy Druin
Change Log for Mutillidae 2.1.3:
Fix a bug. If the user was on the home page, without having clicked any link to
this point (such as when using a bookmark), then the user clicked the "change
security level", the page would redirect to page not found.
Increased the slide time for the ddsmoothmenu to make it slow down a little bit
Added a NEW vulnerability. Many sites have crazy pages that show server
settings, expose admin functionality, allow configuration, or other features a
user should not be able to see. The problem is not the pages themselves so much
as the fact that developers think no one will guess the name and browse to them.
Shoulder surfing, guessing, brute-forcing, etc can be used to find these pages.
Mutillidae now has such a page. It is in the "Server Misconfiguration" category.
See secret-administrative-pages.php for hints.
Augmented the installation instructions
Added link to ihackcharities to front page
Added a new security level. Now there is security level 1. The only difference
in this release between level 0 and level 1 is that level 1 has JS validation.
The JS validation has been in place for a while to allow but was activated in
level 0. Since level 0 is supposed to be very easy, the decision was made to
create level 1 and move JS validation to level 1. The JS validation is trivial
to bypass. Simply disable JS or use a proxy such as Tamper Data, Paros, Burp,
WebScarab, or others.
Page homenotes.php has been merged with home.php.
Page home.html has been renamed home.php
Added protection for SQL injection to add to your blog.php output of the current
users blog entries. Prior to this patch, you could SQL inject in security level
5 by putting your injection in the current users login name because the query
uses the current users login name as the input to the query.
Improved the DNS lookup page to add JS validation in security level 1 mode.
Changed padding for BACK button to use styles rather than HTML BR tags.
Changed the password generator password length to 15 to set a better example.
Some refactoring on user-info.php and login.php to clean up code
Added CSRF Protection to page add to your blog. This only works in secure mode.
Added more scripts to the easter egg file (Mutillidae Test Scripts)
Bug fix: The setupandreset.php errors were not printing out.
Stupid bug fix: Removed the "open DB" that was firing before the database was
actually created.
Created output on page setupandreset.php to show what happened
Added try/catch and more error handling to setupandreset.php

Updates To Homemade Hardware Keylogger/PHUKD Hybrid
Fixed some bugs, added
some features.Change logs:
PS/2 Hardware Keylogger/PHUKD:
0.01:
* Holding mod keys did not always work for multi select. Got it working (at
least I think I did).
* Nulls were getting into the logs, so I made an unhandled keycode exception.
USB Hardware Keylogger/PHUKD:
0.01:
* Holding mod keys did not always work for multi select. Got it working by
taking out the key replay code,
and made held keys function better in the process. Also, it made the code
simpler to read as I got rid
of a bunch of unneeded cruft code. :)
* Nulls were getting into the logs, so I made an unhandled keycode exception.
*Changed log brackets from <> to [].
0.02:
* Fixed bug in logging unknown keys.
* Added logging for keys [KEY_TAB] and [KEY_NON_US_NUM].
* Ctrl+Alt+S toggles the typing of raw bytes as they come in the serial
connection.
* Converted ints to bytes in many places. I think their was a type casting
problem causing weird issues.
* Fixed a buffer overflow issue caused by IncomingHIDReportIndex going over 18.
* Many other tiny changes.

Homemade Hardware Keylogger/PHUKD Hybrid
I've been doing some work recently on making homemade keyloggers of both the USB
and PS/2 persuasion that will take keystrokes, record/replay them, and modify
programmable HID payloads accordingly. This hardware and software is not exactly
ready for prime time, but I figured I'd share it with you. On this page you will
find rough schematics, source code and links that may help you build your own. I
plan to put a video up that demos the devices right after
Skydogcon.

Defcon 19: Cipherspaces/Darknets An Overview Of Attack Strategies
This is the talk I gave at Defcon 19, this time as recorded in front of a live
studio audience (as oppose to the canned version I posted before). The canned
one may be more polished, but the Defcon 19 one looks cooler. Here is the
description:Darknets/Cipherspaces such as Tor and I2P have been covered
before in great detail. Sometimes it can be hard to follow attack strategies
that have been used against them as the papers written on the topic have been
academic and abstract. What this talk will attempt to do is step back and give
an overview of the topic in a manner hopefully more conducive to the
understanding of security practitioners, giving more concrete examples. While
little to nothing in this talk will be "new and groundbreaking" it should lead
to a better understanding of how encrypted anonymizing networks can be subverted
to reveal identities. |

Pilfering Local Data: Things an Attacker Would Want to Grab with Short Term
Local Access
Here's my talk from the 2011 Nashville Infosec. This is more or less the
description I sent them: "This talk will cover core items an attacker would want
to locate and copy off of a Windows system, as well as what tools they would use
to bypass weak security precautions like file system permissions and OS/BIOs
passwords. Core date in this case would be things like stored passwords and
wireless keys, but could also include network paths and the like. It will
underscore the importance of physical security and hard drive encryption." |

Building a Svartkast with a pretty pink Pogoplug: Cheap hardware to leave on
someone else's network
The first obvious question is what the hell is a Svartkast? Well, it’s a term I
picked up from Telecomix. Before I would have just referred to it as a “drop
box” (too much name collision there now), but some also call it a kamikaze box
or a Blackthrow (which is English for the Swedish term Svartkast). The core idea
is to have a cheap host you can leave on someone else’s network that you can
remote into but that can’t easily be tied back to you. The Svartkast does this
one better by using a cipher-space like Tor or I2P to further obfuscate where
communications to the box are coming from (though slowing down communications of
course, anonymity isn’t “free”). |

Mutillidae 2.1.0 release
Jeremy Druin has been at it again, with more upgrades to the webapp security
teaching tool Mutillidae. In his words:
Well. Its finally here for better or worse. This version of Mutillidae has
nearly every vulnerability known. And they come in bulk. There is all of the OWASP Top 10 plus another ten categories at least. The documentation has been
upgraded extensively including the hints and installation instructions. The menu
system has been redesigned again to make it easier for users to find the exploit
they want to try. Current vulns that are not OWASP top 10 have been added
including click-jacking, parameter pollution, cross site framing, and arbitrary
file inclusion. I ripped out the MYSQL interface and replaced it with the new
object oriented version that comes with PHP 5.3.0 called MYSQLi. The "i" is
supposidly for improved. I also enhanced the presentation and output on many
pages. Hopefully it is enterprise grade now. My goal is for pros to use this in
training developers.
I added test scripts in the documentation folder. You might like some of them.
Some are more fun than monkeys with bubble-gum. |

Security Tips For The Small Business From 70,000 Feet - Joseph Hollingsworth and
Adrian Crenshaw
A little while back Joe Hollingsworth and I were interviewed for an article in
the
Southern Indiana Business Source. The local Kiwanis club asked for a 25 min
talk on the subject of the article, so we came up with this mandate:
Given only 25 minutes, tell us what a small business could do to help their
security posture.
Well, it ended up being almost 40min and we did not get through all of the
slides. The live video camera failed, so the audio in this video is what the
laptop recorded. It may not be something most of my readers will be interested
in, but it may help you present on a similar topic. |

Building a boot USB, DVD or CD based on Windows 7 with WinBuilder and Win7PE SE
Tutorial
As many of you know, I’m a big fan of Bart's PeBuilder and derivative works
based on it like UBDC4Win. Having a bootable USB drive or CD I can run Windows
tools from just comes in hand so often for task like malware/spyware removal,
system recovery and harvesting locked files for “pro bono pen-test purposes”.
Unfortunately, the Bart’s PE project has not been updated in awhile, and Windows
XP is getting kind of long in the tooth, so I went looking for a replacement.
For those wanting to build something a little newer, check out WinBuilder.

Mutillidae 2.0.8: More vulnerable web app fun
Jeremy Druin has been at it again. :) New changes for Mutillidae 2.0.8 include:
- Added more comments to the code to explain how defenses work
- Added support for the <u></u> tag to the blog. In secure mode Mutillidae
will allow this tag but still safely encode output and stop XSS.
- Added JavaScript filtering to prevent single quotes from being entered
in blog entries. This give practice bypassing JavaScript "security" and
helps the user understand JavaScript cannot provide security.
- Added lots of JS filtering to login.php. Nearly all characters are
filtered. Users are encouraged to understand that JavaScript and filtering
are useless for security.
- Added autofocus to login.php and add-to-blog.php
- Added more "allowed dangerous HTML tags" to the blog. Until now only the
bold HTML tag was supported. Also the output was not HTML5 compliant. For
example, if the user entered a bold tag, then a bold tag was output however
the bold tag is depreciated. Styles must be used. So Mutillidae allows the
user to input a bold tag but will correctly encode this as a sytle upon
output. The italic tag is now supported as a dangerous input which is safely
output without fear of Cross Site Scripting. These defenses only operate in
secure mode of course. In insecure mode, the site allows any input and
simply outputs whatever is input without any encoding.
- Changed menu for OWASP A1 - Injection to differentiate between SQL,
HTML, and Command Injection. This should make it more clear which pages
exhibit vulnerabilities with the specific injecton sub-types. Also added new
link for Blind SQL Injection.
- Changed menu for OWASP A2 - Cross Site Scripting to differentiate
between XSS coming in via user supplied fields (GET/POST) and values within
HTTP Request Headers.
- Added tutorials feature.
- Added SQL Injection Totorial
- Added Cross Site Scripting tutorial
- Added Command Injection tutorial
- Added new feature. Hints can now be at different levels. Each time the
user clicks Hints, the level increases by 1 until rolling over.
- Removed the installation instructions from the home page. A new page for
instructions is created and linked from the menu.
- Augmented the installation instructions to include running from Samurai,
creating a custom ISO, installing to XAMPP, and running in virutal machines.
- Reformatted install instructions and main home page to be compliant with
HTML 5.

Konboot
from a USB flash drive files and instructions updated
People kept complaining because my old config did not work with newer versions
of Unetbootin. Changed the syslinux.cfg file since Unetbootin now uses menu.c32

Mutillidae 2.0.7: More vulnerable web app fun
Jeremy Druin has been at it again. :) New changes for Mutillidae 2.0.7 include:
- Added a new page rene-magritte.php to explore click-jacking. In
secure mode, Mutillidae will send the X-FRAME-OPTIONS: DENY header. In
modern browsers, this will cause the browser to throw an error rather
than allow the page rene-magritte.php to be framed.
- Added a resources link to the main menu. Links are to information or
tools that can help with testing Mutillidae.
- Added new class LogHandler to take over logging. Previously logging
statements has to be copied to each spot that logging was needed. With
the new class, logging requires only one line of code and the logger
automatically logs based on the current security level. If in insecure
mode, no attempt to stop XSS or SQLi is made. With the new class, many
less lines of code are needed and many more places log. With more places
logging, there is a much better chance of finding a log exploit and
taking advantage (insecure mode). Logging added to pages:
add-to-your-blog, dns-lookup, text-file-viewer, source-viewer.php,
register.php, redirectandlog.php, and user-info.php
- Added more default users to initial setup to give more targets.

Update to Economics of Information Security Paper Reviews and Notes
Awhile back I posted my write-ups and notes for the papers I've been reading in the
"Economics of Information Security" class I'm enrolled in. I've now
posted weeks 9 to 15. I'm guessing most of
my readers won't get much out of them unless they have read, or plan to read,
the same papers. Hell, they may not get much out of them even then, but I'm
posting them. :)Also, I'll be speaking here next week in Columbus Ohio:
http://infosecsummit.org/
Looks like the event is sold out, but maybe I can convince them to let me
record some talks. Dave Kennedy will
also be there, and hopefully I'll have some
Derbycon stickers for anyone that wants them. |

Funnypots and Skiddy Baiting: Screwing with those that screw with you - Notacon
2011
This is the presentation I did for Notacon 2011. Honeypots might be ok for
research, but they don’t allow you to have fun at an attacker’s expense the same
way funnypot and skiddy baiting does. In this talk I’ll be covering techniques
you can use to scar the psyche or to have fun at the expense of attackers or
people invading your privacy. Sorry about the subpar sound, I had a bit of echo
from where my camera was positioned. |

Hosting Hidden Services in I2P: eepSites and SSH
Here is another foray into Cipherspace. In this video I'll show how to get your
eepSite up and running, along with pointing an HTTP tunnel to another web server
besides the build in Jetty, and also how to host SSH inside of the I2P network.
Before you watch this video, you may want to check out my videos on
Installing I2P under Windows
Installing I2P under Linux
and you will want to read the article on
application level de-anonymizing techniques that can be used against I2P hosted
services for some background information.
I apologize for it being somewhat meandering, I was doing the video largely
off the cuff. Also be aware that "Hidden Services" is more of Tor's terminology
for much the same concept, in I2P you set up "I2P Server Tunnels". I'll be
talking about de-anonymizing I2P services in my
Black Hat
DC 2011 talk shortly. |

HTC Evo Shift 4g (or any Android Phone) on Sprint SERO plans
For those on SERO plans from Sprint, figured I'd relate this story. May help you
figure out what you need to do if you want a new phone and are on an old plan.
The phone itself I like, support is more of the issue. Seems that no mater what
they tell you in chat, don't trust it. I was told I could keep my old plan,
twice, but that was not the case. See link for the chat/email logs. |

DerbyCon website is live!
DerbyCon isn't just another security conference. We've taken the best elements
from all of the conferences we've ever been to and put them into one. DerbyCon
is a place you can call home, where you can meet each other, party, and learn.
It's located in the heart of Louisville, Kentucky right on 4th Street Live at
the Hyatt Regency.
Our goal is create a fun environment where the security community can come
together to share ideas and concepts. Conferences like this are where
friendships as well as some of the best ideas are born. Even before we released
the Call for Papers (CFP), our speaker list is full of some of the industry's
best and brightest minds. Whether you know Linux, how to program, are
established in security, or a hobbyist, the ideal of DerbyCon is to promote
learning and strengthening the community.
Tickets to this event are very limited - Registration begins Friday, April 29,
2011. Mark your calendar, tell your friends, and get ready for a new era in
hacker cons - http://www.derbycon.com. |

Darknets and hidden servers: Identifying the true IP/network identity of I2P
service hosts
This is the paper I will be presenting at
Black Hat
DC 2011. While it focuses on finding web servers hidden in the I2P darknet,
the same ideas should be applicable to Tor and other privacy systems. The
primary motivation for this project is to help secure the identity of I2P
eepSite (web servers hidden in the I2P network) hosts by finding weaknesses in
the implementation of these systems at higher application layers that can lead
to their real IP or the identity of the administrator of a service being
revealed. We also wish to find vulnerabilities that may lead to the anonymity
set being greatly reduced, and compensate for them. Exposing these weaknesses
will allow the administrators of I2P eepSite services to avoid these pitfalls
when they implement their I2P web applications. A secondary objective would be
to allow the identification of certain groups that law enforcement might be
interested in locating, specifically pedophiles. |
| 01/08/2011 |
Installing the I2P darknet software in Linux
This video is intended to get you started with the I2P darknet software under
Linux (Ubuntu 10.10 in this case). I've done a
previous version that details
installing I2P under Windows. I2P (originally standing for Invisible Internet Project) can be seen as a
networking layer sitting on top of IP that uses cryptography to keep messages
confidential, and multiple peer to peer network tunnels for anonymity and
plausible deniability. While Tor is focused more for hiding your identity while
surfing the public Internet, I2P is geared more toward networking multiple I2P
users together. While you can surf to the public Internet using one of the I2P
out proxies, it's meant more for hiding the identity of the providers of
services (for example eepSites), sort of like Tor's concept of Hidden Services,
but much faster. Another advantage I2P has is NetDB, a distributed way to let
peers know about each other once initial seeding has occurred. Tor on the other
hand uses it's own directory to identify servers, which in theory could be more
easily blocked. Both networks have their advantages and trade offs. This video
won't cover the details of I2P's peering or encryption systems, and may seem
kind of rambling, but it should be enough to get you up and running on the
darknet.
Welcome to Cipherspace.
I'll be covering my work on de-anonymizing I2P services in my
Black Hat
DC 2011 talk. |

Derbycon 2011 Teaser Video
Dave Kennedy put together a teaser video
for Derbycon. Blurb from Dave: About a year ago Adrian Crenshaw, Martin Bos, and myself were sitting around in Louisville and talking about one day creating one amazing hackercon. We never imagined it would have came to light, but it did. We are happy to announce that we have done some pre-selection of some speakers which we think you'll be impressed by. Our goal is to create a hackercon that is unique, top notch, and a place where we all come together as one and share. If any of you know us personally, you know that we steer clear from a persona of an elitist. We are all in this world we call security together and none of us are better than one another. All of us are learning everyday... DerbyCon is a con where we are all in it together, where you can approach anyone, share with anyone, and have a ton of fun doing it. Our official website launch with all the relevant information about the conference will be posted January 10, 2011 (sometime during the morning/afternoon). This teaser video was released to show you a taste of some of the speakers we have. It's truly inspirational to us that we have such a great speaker list already even before CFP has officially opened.
A couple of important topics that we will leak ahead of time: The ticketing system will be straight forward, tickets will open officially to purchase April 29, 2011. The tickets will be $125.00 that weekend, and go up to $150.00 on that Monday until DerbyCon day. On the day itself tickets will be $175. I will admit there is limited spacing, we rented the entire second floor of the Hyatt and tickets will go fast.
The second leak: The con will run from 9:00am to 5:00pm Friday and Saturday and Sunday from 9:00am until 3:00pm. There will be training provided at night from 5:30pm to 10:30pm after conference hours. We will also have BSIDES KY going on at the same time from 5:30pm to 10:30pm, so regardless if your in training or BSIDES, your covered.
Sit back and relax and enjoy this 1 minute 47 second video of DerbyCon and some of the speakers and be sure to check out http://www.derbycon.com.

ARPFreezeNG: A tool for Windows to protect against ARP poisoning by setting up
static ARP entries, now with a pretty GUI
As many of you know, I've created quite a bit of content about ARP poisoning,
such as:
A
Quick Intro to Sniffers
Intro to ARP
poisoning
Using Cain to do a man in the middle attack by ARP poisoningI've even
done some work on detection:
Decaffeinatid: A Simple IDS/arpwatch for Windows
Finding promiscuous and ARP poisoners and sniffers on your network with Ettercap
This tool is for prevention.
ARPFreezeNG lets you setup static ARP tables so that attackers (using
Cain, Ettercap, Arpspoof or some other tool) can't pull off an ARP poisoning
attack against you. It has the same core functionality as my older ARPFreeze
script, but is easier to use since it utilizes a Treeview GUI. |

Privacy
Papers Write-up
I was enrolled in a privacy class for my masters degree recently. As part of
this class we had to read a metric buttload of papers (but at least not an old
English buttload) and then write a short review of each, trying to find at least
three critical points we could make or at least points of interest. These are my
write-ups (with a few spelling fixes) and links to the papers in question.
Sometimes I may come off as overly critical, but we were asked to find perceived
weak points. Sometimes I just did not understand what the author was trying to
get at, either because of my lack of background or a lack of explaining. Mostly
what you will get out of this page is me being a curmudgeon about academic
papers vs. hackers/infosec practitioners. Enjoy, or don't. :)

Malicious USB Devices: Is that an attack vector in your pocket
or are you just happy to see me?
In this presentation I talk about
the categories of malicious USB devices:
USB Mass Storage containing malware
U3 Thumb drives with "evil" autorun payloads
Hardware key loggers
Programmable HID USB Keyboard Dongle Devices
along with detection and mitigation techniques involving GPO (Windows) and
UDEV (Linux) settings. It was presented at Phreaknic 14. |
| 10/18/2010 |
Locating I2P services via Leaks on the Application Layer
Project Proposal
While at Phreaknic 14 I did a quick lightning talk
on my project to test the anonymity provided by
I2P. Mostly I'll be aiming at web server misconfigurations in eepSites. It
starts getting fast at the end because I was running out of time (10 min is kind
of short for the subject). Still, I hope it is a good intro to
I2P, and my plans. |

Network King of the Hill Write-ups
I thought this might be of interest to those of you who like hacker war games,
and want to put on their own event. This contest happened at the
Louisville Infosec 2010. Martin from
Question-Defense
and I are polishing it up and plan to run the same sort of
NetKotH event at Hack3rcon. |
| 10/08/2010 |
Identifying the true IP/Network identity of I2P service hosts
This is my project proposal for the "Advanced Topics in Privacy" class I'm in.
Please share with me your thoughts and ideas. Or at the very least, try out I2P
and see how you can use it alongside Tor. |
| 10/05/2010 |
Adrian Hong: Hackers for Human Rights - HOPE 2010
Great talk about human rights, and how hackers can help. Also, there is a bit
about I2P at the end. Posted with Adrian Hong's permission. Us Adrian's have to
stick together. :) Check out their respective sites:

Beyond Nmap: Other network scanners
This is a presentation I did for the Blugrass ISSA chapter. Tools covered, at
least lightly, are: Nmap, Hping, UnicornScan,
AutoScan, Netscan, Metasploit, NetworkMiner and of course BackTrack 4 R1. A few
minor flubs, and one spot where I deleted a demo fail. :) |

Defcon 18 Videos
Torrent
Awhile back I found out via DC404 that the
Defcon 18 videos had been leaked onto
http://good.net/dl/bd/. Good.net is kind of a pain since the downloads are
slow, and you can only grab two at a time with a free account. Seems now
someone has put up a torrent. It's out there in the search engines, but most
Torrent sites are so spammy that I decided to just mirror the
Defcon 18 Torrent
file. There is also a magnet link:

Programmable
HID USB Keystroke Dongle: Using the Teensy as a pen testing device (Defcon 18)
The Programmable HID USB Keystroke Dongle (PHUKD) is a small device based around
the Teensy microcontroller development board. It allows users to program in
keystrokes and mouse macros that can execute when the device is plugged in,
after a set time, or when certain environmental conditions are met (light,
noise, temperature, etc.) This device can be used as a replacement for a U3
hacksaw, as a device left behind to execute commands when someone with elevated
privileges is likely to be logged in, or give as a Trojan device to unsuspecting
targets. Much pwnage should ensue.
I've added my
Defcon video to
the bottom of the
Videos and Pictures section of the PHUKD article.
Also checkout the "PowerShell OMFG Video" Dave Kennedy and Josh Kelley (winfang) did at Defcon 18
http://www.secmaniac.com/august-2010/powershell_omfg/
they used PHUKD devices for part of it. |

Password Exploitation Class Videos Posted
This is a class we gave for the
Kentuckiana ISSA on the the subject of password exploitation. The Password
Exploitation Class was put on as a charity event for the Matthew Shoemaker
Memorial Fund ( http://www.shoecon.org/ ).
The speakers were Dakykilla, Purehate_ and myself. This is sort of the first
Question-Defense /
Irongeek joint video. Lots of password
finding and crack topics were covered: Hashcat, OCLHashcat, Cain, SAMDump2,
Nir's Password Recovery Tools, Password Renew, Backtrack 4 R1, UBCD4Win and much
more. About 4.5 hours of content. |

Local Password Exploitation Class
The Kentuckiana ISSA will be putting on class on Aug
28th 2010 from 10am to 4:30pm at the Jeffersonville Public Library. The class
will cover the details of pulling passwords/hashes that are stored on a box
where the attacker has physical access to the system, or via network
vulnerabilities that can reveal the password/hash. Topics to be covered:
- Pulling stored passwords from web browsers/IM clients and other apps
- Hash cracking of Windows passwords, as well as other systems
- Sniffing plain text passwords off the network
- How passwords on one box can be used to worm though other hosts on a
network
Seating is limited to 50 people. The class is being
held as a charity event for the Matthew Shoemaker Memorial Care Fund. Matthew
was a fellow security professional and podcaster who left behind two children,
His colleagues have set up an account to help support his two children.
Donations can be made to the Shoemaker Memorial Care Fund at The Peoples Bank,
P.O. Box 788, Winder, GA 30680. Checks can either be mailed directly or
transfers via telephone (770) 867-9111. Please place the account 00133835 on the
check. A PayPal account has been established and you can find on the right hand
side of this ISD page (http://www.isdpodcast.com/goodbye-farewall-god-bless/).
Please show your receipt for donation of at least $10 at the door.
You can must register at the following URL:
https://events.constantcontact.com/register/eventReg?oeidk=a07e2znbzbs77edf8b6&oseq=
Also, I'd like to mention Shoecon, a
one day event in Atlanta on Sept 18th. I'll plan to make a larger posting about
it later. |
| 08/09/2010 |
Barcode Fuzzer, Bruteforcer, SQL/XSS Injector using a flashing LED
It's not a full function app exactly, but it may be useful to some of my readers
as a framework when testing systems that use barcodes as input. This is a
hardware/software implementation of the ideas I mentioned in my article "XSS,
SQL Injection and Fuzzing Barcode Cheat Sheet". Essentially, this code lets
you flash an LED connected to a Teensy/Arduino in the right sequences for most
barcode readers to scan. Now we have an easier way to do some of the things Mick
and I had been talking about. I tried to make a video to show it off better, but
by myself the camera moved too much. :) When I can get an E-book reader (Nook or
Kindle) I plan to make a more reliable E-Ink display using version.As a side
note, I'm looking forward to Derbycon, even
if it is more than a year away. |

Post Defcon 18 Updates
First, I regret to inform you of the death of my friend and fellow ISDPodcaster
Matthew
Shoemaker. Rick has made a
post with
information on how donations can be made to help Matthew's children.I've
added my Defcon
Slides to the bottom of the
Videos and Pictures section of the PHUKD article.
Monta Elkins gave a presentation as well using an
RF transmitter to activate the
Teensy.
Dave Kennedy and Josh Kelley also gave a
Powershell talk that did some more advanced things with the PHUKD concept. |
| 07/14/2010 |
Setting up the Teensy/Teensyduino Arduino Environment
This video will show you the basics of setting up the Teensyduino environment in
Windows so you can start developing PHUKD devices. |

Mutillidae/Samurai WTF/OWASP Top 10
This is a presentation I did at the
Kentuckiana ISSA and then again at the
Ohio Security Forum on Mutillidae/Samurai WTF/OWASP Top 10. I chose to post
the Ohio version of the video as I think it came out better, but the slides are
the same. Plenty of information on XSS (Cross Site Scripting), CSRF (Cross Site
Request Forgery) and SQL/Command Injection. |
| 07/02/2010 |
Locking down Windows Vista and Windows 7 against Malicious USB devices
In this article I go into a lot of details about blocking malicious USB
devices, like the
PHUKD. I plan to present such material at the upcoming Louisville Infosec.
Speaking of which:The Louisville Metro InfoSec Conference
Thursday October 7th, 2010
at Churchill Downs!
http://www.louisvilleinfosec.com/
Registrations between now and July 16th, 2010 receive a
50% DISCOUNT on the $99 ticket price!
After July 16th the ticket price will go back to normal.
Current speakers include: Marcus J. Ranum, Dave Kennedy, Rafal Los, Jeremiah
Grossman and myself. |
| 06/29/2010 |
Update to the programmable HID project
I've updated the
PHUKD Library to 0.2.
The main changes are that I've added two functions for the Gnome desktop under
Linux:ShrinkCurWinGnome()
CommandAtRunBarGnome(char *SomeCommand)
you may also see something about OS X, but it does not work. Can anyone tell
me a run bar equivalent that works in OS X?
I've also changed the library so that it goes in the normal libraries folder,
and not the same folder as your sketch. |
| 06/24/2010 |
Ligatt / Gregory D. Evans Videos
It should be noted, I did not create these videos, my buddy Rick from the
ISDPodcast did (at least the first
two). Still, they are worth sharing.
I have some links below if you want more info on the Ligatt / Gregory D. Evans
controversy that has been going around. If nothing else, it will help with
people researching the person/company:
Ligatt / Gregory
D. Evans Fun Charlatan Entry at Attrition.org Follow all the Ligatt fun on
Twitter
The
Register has a good writeup on Ligatt / Gregory D. Evans
This
is probably the most concise writeup on Ligatt / Gregory D. Evans
If
you want to read the book "How To Become The Worlds No. 1 Hacker" for yourself,
but you don't want to pay Ligatt for plagiarizing, grab the PDF at this link |

Mutillidae Vulnerable Web App Updated, ver 1.5
I changed it so that now, by default, Mutillidae only allows access from
localhost (127.*.*.*), assuming the .htaccess file I've written is honored.
Thanks for the suggestion Kevin.
I've also made the install instructions somewhat better.In other news, I'll
be speaking about Mutillidae at the following two events:
Kentuckiana ISSA July Meeting
July 9th from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM
Ohio Information Security
Forum Anniversary Event July 10th, 2010 8:30AM-5:30PM
Both are free to the public, but you have to RSVP. |
| 06/03/2010 |
PHUKD Project Page Updated
I've updated the Programmable HID USB Keyboard Dongle project page with:
More pics of newer units.
A video of the
trojaned color changing mouse.
A
PHUKD Arduino library to help developers.
I've also made a bunch of anchor tags to help in navigating to the part you
want.
As a side note, I'll be speaking about the PHUKD project at Defcon! Thanks to
Paul for the help with the hardware, the
Kentuckian ISSA for helping to
get me to Defcon, and Tenacity Solutions
for their support on this project. |

Metasploit
Class Videos
On May 8th 2010 the
Kentuckiana ISSA held a 7 hour Metasploit class at the Brown hotel in
Louisville Ky. Proceeds from the class went to the Hackers For Charity Food for
Work program. The instructors were David "ReL1K" Kennedy, Martin "PureHate" Bos,
Elliott "Nullthreat" Cutright, Pwrcycle and Adrian "Irongeek" Crenshaw. Below
are the videos of the event. I hope you enjoy them, and if you do please
consider donating to Johnny Longs' organization. This should be more Metasploit
than you can stand! |

Steganographic Command and Control: Building a communication channel that
withstands hostile scrutiny
This is the final report I wrote for the Malware class I'm in. |
| 05/06/2010 |
WHAS
11 Webcam Exploit
This is a segment I did an interview for. They took very little of what I said,
and played up the voyeur aspect (I told them webcams were not that big a worry,
but drive by bot installs were). |
| 04/29/2010 |
Mutillidae Updated for OWASP Top 10 of 2010
I made some changes to Mutillidae (version 1.4) to make it compliant with the
2010 version of the OWASP Top 10. I also added some modules, and fixed a bug I
must have introduced at some point that keeps the user from inserting a single
quote into their blog. |
| 04/19/2010 |
Notacon Anti-Forensics Slides Posted
I put up the slides from my Notacon talk on the same page as the longer version
of the Anti-forensics/Occult Computing talk. Hope to have the video up later. |
| 04/15/2010 |
Office XML Steganography Tool
This is some relatively crappy code I wrote to hide files inside of Microsoft
Office 2007 (and I hope 2010, though I have yet to test) docs (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX,
etc). Since the newer Office docs are basically just zip files containing XML
and resources, it's fairly easy. |
| 04/07/2010 |
Louisville Metro Metasploit Class - May 8th 2010
The Kentuckiana ISSA will be putting on a 6.5 hour Metasploit class on May 8th
2010 from 10am to 4:30pm at the Jeffersonville Public Library.Instructors
include:
David "ReL1K" Kennedy
Martin "PureHate" Bos
Elliott "Nullthreat" Cutright
pwrcycle
Adrian "Irongeek" Crenshaw
The class is being held for charity, so it's not quite free, but all we ask is
that you donate $10 to the Hackers For Charity Kenya food for work program. More
details are available at the link above. |
| 04/01/2010 |
P.H.U.K.D. Device Project Page Updated
I've updated my Programmable HID USB Keyboard Dongle project page with:
Photos of a soldered, heat shrink packaged, thumbdrive sized unit.
Code example that demonstrates timer delays and using the light sensor.
Code for doing quick diagnostics on the PHUKED unit to see which pins are
connected and what the analog pin reads.
Added a comment about being able to use the 8 position DIP switch to choose
from 256 different options.
Hope you find the updates useful.
In other news, Scott Moulton still has open seats for his
Forensics & Data
Recovery class in Washington DC class April 12-16th.
You may remember Scott from some of his presentations that I've posted to my
site:
At Least TEN things you didn't know about your hard drive!
Reassembling RAID by SIGHT and SOUND!
Advanced Data Recovery Forensics
I've not taken his class yet, but I've heard great things and know that his
talks at conferences are awesome. If you have money in your training budget,
this class would be a good place to spend it. |

Outerz0ne 2010 Videos
The following are videos of the presentations from the
Outerzone 2010 hacker conference. Thanks
to Skydog, Robin, Scott, SomeNinjaMaster and the
Hacker Consortium crew for the con.
Also thanks to Karlo, Keith, and Seeblind for doing AV. I'm looking forward to
Skydogcon. |

Programmable HID USB Keystroke Dongle: Using the Teensy as a pen-testing device
The Programmable HID USB Keystroke Dongle (PHUKD for short) is kind of like a U3
thumbdrive alternative, but with sensor and timer abilities. Read the article,
and I think you will see the potential of the project. |
| 03/08/2010 |
Security Podcasts Page
Updated
I've updated my security podcast page to include the
Social-Engineer.org
Podcast. Also, there's real info up on the
Outerz0ne conference website now. It's
March 19th-20th 2010 in Atlanta, GA. Hope to see some of you there. |

Attacking and Defending WPA Enterprise Networks - Matt Neely
Matt Neely of
SecureState came to the March
Kentuckiana ISSA meeting and gave
a great presentation on securing and hacking WPA Enterprise networks. If you are
confused by the acronym soup of "EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2,
PEAPv0/EAP-MSCHAPv2, PEAPv1/EAP-GTC, PEAP-TLS" and which are the better options,
this may be the video for you. Also, go check out the podcast Matt's on,
Security Justice, it's one of the
security/hacking
podcasts I regularly listen to. |
| 03/04/2010 |
InfoSec
Daily Podcast Episode 80
Episode 80 of the ISD Podcast is up. Besides current vulnerabilities of interest
and news topics, Rick, Matthew and I discussed
text based steganography. Which reminds me, I need to update the code a
little to fix some typos. :) |
| 03/01/2010 |
Steganography: The art of hiding stuff in stuff so others don't find your stuff
This is a presentation I was working on for the malware class I'm enrolled in.
For some reason my voice was cracking while recording it, but I guess it was
good practice for the live version I'll do tomorrow. Besides just an
introduction to Steganography, I'll also talk a little about my SnarlBot project
that will attempt to use stego in a command and control channel. |
| 02/24/2010 |
Unicode and LSB Steganography program examples
I wrote these Autoit3 code examples to illustrate some of the ways that
steganography (hiding data in other data, or as I like to call it "hiding your
stuff in other stuff so people can't find your stuff") can be done. These sorts
of techniques can be of great use in passing messages without others knowing, in
anti-forensics activities, or as covert command and control channels for botnets
(as I plan to study for my final project in the malware class I'm enrolled in).
Other items: I'll be at Outerz0ne 2010
in Atlanta. Also, tomorrow night I should be on the
InfoSec Daily Podcast with an update to
my
ZipIt Z2 project. |
| 02/22/2010 |
Side-Track: Security/Pen-testing distribution of Linux for the ZipIt Z2
Ok, I've got it working, and for those who have a ZipIt Z2 I'd love for you to
test it. It's based on the RootnNxus userland, and includes the following
additional packages: cron curl driftnet dsniff etherape ettercap hping3 locate
man netcat netdiscover netwox ngrep nikto nmap ntp openssh-server perl ptunnel
python rdesktop ruby samba-tools samba4-clients secure-delete socat sqlmap
tcpdump tcpreplay tcpxtract traceroute w3af w3af-console wget whois zenmap. I've
also tweaked some of the scripts, and put a newer wireless firmware on it.

FireTalks from Shmoocon 2010
Grecs and the folks at
Shmoo were kind enough to let me
record the FireTalks from Shmoocon 2010. Here you will find the
presentations of David “ReL1K” Kennedy, Michael “theprez98″ Schearer, Marcus J. Carey, Adrian “IronGeek” Crenshaw, Nicholas “aricon” Berthaume, Zero Chaos, Benny
"security4all"
and Christian “cmlh” Heinrich.

XSS, SQL Injection and Fuzzing Barcode Cheat Sheet Updated
I've added the ability to use any lower ASCII character you wish, you just have
to know its decimal equivalent. I've also constructed and
ASCII
barcode chart that should help. Let me know if you figure out how to type
Ctrl-Alt-Del with your keyboard wedge. :)Side note, tomorrow night I'll be on
the ISD Podcast, episode 61. See you at
Shmoocon. |

Video:When
Web 2.0 Attacks - Rafal Los
Recorded at: Louisville OWASP Chapter - Fourth Meeting, Friday January 29th,
2010
Speaker: Rafal Los will be discussing Flash and Web 2.0 security
I used the same rig I hope to use for recording the Fireside talks at
Shmoocon. |
| 01/28/2010 |
Infosec Daily Podcast Episode
56
We are recording tonight, so it should be up by the morning. This time the tech
segment will be on the recent bar code hacking project, which at Mick's
suggestion now has
XSS/SQL Injection for QR 2d bar codes. |
| 01/28/2010 |
XSS, SQL Injection and Fuzzing Barcode Cheat Sheet
I was listening to an episode of
Pauldotcom, and Mick mentioned something about attacks on systems via
barcode. Because of the nature of barcodes, developers may not be expecting
attacks from that vector and thus don’t sanitize their inputs properly. I had
previously written "XSS,
Command and SQL Injection vectors: Beyond the Form" so this was right up my
alley. I constructed this page that lets you make barcodes in Code 93, Code 39,
Code 39ext and Code 128A, B and C. |
| 01/25/2010 |
Botnets Presentation For Malware Class
I have to present two papers for my malware class, so I figure I'd share my
practice video with my readers. Slides are available in
PDF and
PPTX
forms. |
| 01/21/2010 |
Infosec Daily Podcast Episode
51
We are recording tonight, so it should be up by the morning. This time the tech
segment will be on
Tracking users, malware and data leaks via the USB serial numbers on flash
drives, smart phones and MP3 players. |
| 01/19/2010 |
Setting up the HoneyBOT HoneyPot
HoneyPots are hosts meant to be attacked either to distract the attackers or to
research their techniques. This video will cover setting up a simple HoneyPot in
Windows using an application called HoneyBOT. I'll also talk a little about
capturing a pcap file with dumpcap for later analysis. |
| 01/12/2010 |
Sitting in on Infosec Daily Podcast Episode
44
We are recording tonight, so it should be up by the morning. They are letting me
do a tech segment on setting up an
Ethernet bridge in Linux and
network bridging
in Windows. Also, I hope we will cover a bit about Google's
reaction to China's attacks on human rights activist's Google accounts. |
| 01/09/2010 |
Speaking at the Shmoocon FireTalks
My presentation was not accepted for the normal Shmoocon talks, but I will be
doing a much shortened version for the
FireTalks at Shmoo. For those wondering what I'll be talking about:Title:
Funnypots and Skiddy Baiting
Desciption: Ever wanted to screw with those that screw with you? Honeypots might
be ok for research, but they don’t allow you to have fun at an attacker’s
expense the same way funnypot and skiddy baiting does. In this talk I’ll be
covering techniques you can use to scar the psyche or to have fun at the expense
of attackers or people invading your privacy. Some of the topics to be covered
are: Fun with DNS and Loopback, SWATing for Packets, Lemonwipe your drive,
Robots.txt trolling, And more…
I think there are still some slots open for Firetalks, so please submit
something on the site linked to above if you have an idea.
Grecs gave me the go ahead to record the
short FireTalks at Shmoocon 2010. I've been messing around with AVISynth, and I
plan to use it to make the Fireside talks look somewhat professional, like the
ones Defcon releases. I re-encoded my "Bulilding a Hacklab" video to test out
how well the script would work,
here are the results. Let me know what you think. |
| 01/05/2010 |
New Text Article:
Tracking users, malware and data leaks via the USB serial numbers on flash
drives, smart phones and MP3 players
In this article I talk about using the USB serial number some devices have for
security and forensics purposes. By the way, I'm starting to use Twitter more,
so feel free to follow me: @Irongeek_ADC |

Uploaded version 0.90. Once again, Wigle.net changed the way I had to query
their database, so I had to fix IGiGLE so it worked again. I also changed how I
got the zip code to lat/long to work. It may also now work with NAC, UTM
or a Great Britain telephone area code, but this needs more testing so please
let me know. |

Ethernet bridge in Ubuntu Linux video updated
I fixed the sound and frame size in the video I posted this morning.
As a side thing, check out Webcam Studio For
GNU/Linux (WS4GL). I'm hoping as it matures I'll be able to use it as a
poorman's tri-caster when I record/stream presentations at hacker cons. The live
picture in picture or split screen is an awesome feature. Toss Patrick Balleux
some cash to encourage further development. |

Setting up an Ethernet bridge in Ubuntu Linux
In a previous video, I showed how to set up an
Ethernet bridge
in Windows XP. This is very useful for sniffing traffic leaving your LAN for
the purposes of IDS (Intrusion Detection System), network monitoring, statistics
or just plain snooping. In this video, I cover setting up an Ethernet bridge in
Linux. Other tools used in this video include Wireshark, TCPDump, Etherape and
Driftnet. |

Ethics of full disclosure concerning security vulnerabilities
Hopefully this article will be helpful to some student out there.As a side
note, a friend from the Pauldotcom mailing list says he will let me crash with
him for Shmoocon, but it's about 40min
away from the con. If anyone will let me crash in their hotel room for cheap
please let me know. :) |
| 12/22/2009 |
Ethical Analysis of Network Neutrality
This is an article I wrote for a class a few months back. It's not exactly
security related, but it may help some students understand the concepts.As a
side note, looks like I'm going to Shmoocon,
though unfortunately my talk was not accepted (Skiddy Baiting and Funny Pots).
For the record, I'll speak at pretty much any conference that's willing to give
me a space to stay and pay for my way there (I'm like a security hobo). If anyone feels like helping me with the travel expenses to Shmoocon, please donate
using the link at the top of my site :). |

IndySec Metasploit Class Videos
When Steve invited me up to
Indianapolis to help with a Metasploit class I jumped at the opportunity.
We had a good time and IndySec puts
on a great event. They let me record the talks, unfortunately I was testing out
a new video rig and the audio failed on the first three parts (Intro/Welcome,
Network Setup, Getting started with Metasploit). The rig worked great for the
Social Engineering,
Meterpreter and
SQL Pwnage/Fast Track sections.
My presentation was just a rehash of the video I put up last week on
msfpayload/msfencoder/metasploit 3.3 so I decided not to post it on this
page.
If you find these videos useful,
consider going to the
Metasploit Unleashed page and donating to the Hackers For Charity Kenya food
for work program, or come to the
next IndySec event. For best viewing,
I recommend downloading the MP4 files below.

Using msfpayload and msfencode from Metasploit 3.3 to bypass anti-virus
This subject has been covered before, but why not once more? Metasploit 3.3 adds
some new options, and better Windows support. As stated in the title, this video
will cover using msfpayload and msfencode from Metasploit 3.3 to bypass
anti-virus. I will also talk a little about using CWSandbox and VirusTotal to
examine malware. If you find this video useful, consider going to the
Metasploit Unleashed page and donating to the Hackers For Charity Kenya food
for work program, or come to the
IndySec charity event. By the way, I've put out two versions of this video,
one an SWF and the other a streaming video. Please let me know which you prefer. |

Using FOCA to collect Metadata about an organization
Applications can add all sorts of data into the documents they create or edit.
DOC, PDF, XLS and other file types can contain all sorts of extra data, like
usernames, network paths, printers and application version numbers. This sort of
information is great for doing initial research about an organization before
doing a pen-test. This video with cover using FOCA, pointing it at a domain
name, and grabbing metadata from doc, ppt, pps, xls, docx, pptx, ppsx, xlsx, sxw,
sxc, sxi, odt, ods, odg, odp, pdf and wpd files. |

Baby Bubba Zombie Children's Book
It's Thanksgiving time again, and that means zombies, at least to me. My
zombiefest tradition started sometime around 2000. There’s just something
about a family sitting around a table, eviscerating a turkey and then
stumbling around in a tryptophan induced stupor that makes me think of the
walking dead. For those that don't know me in person, and can't be at the
fest, I thought I would share some zombie goodness with you. First, there is
the
Zombie children's book
Pascalle and I created. I made a narrated video of it that I hope you
will enjoy. Also, there is the
WinZombies application. It's like XPenguins/WinPenguins, except instead
of arctic fowls it creates little undead minions that walk around your
desktop.
Now, on to security related happenings. A few weeks ago I posted my video on
Building a Hacklab. The guys over at
Pauldotcom did a tech section about the same topic in episode 176, so go
check it out. They point out Exploit-db
as a replacement for Milw0rm. I'd also like to point out that
VMPlayer now lets you
create VMs without having to use 3rd party applications. I said in the
presentation that it didn't, but the newly released version supports this
functionality.
And finally, while you are enjoying your turkey, go check out
http://www.social-engineer.org
. I'm reading through their framework right now, and am enjoying it quite a
lot. |

Darknets: anonymizing private networks talk from Phreaknic (Networks covered
include Tor, Freenet, AnoNet/DarkNET Conglomeration and I2P)
This is a quick and dirty version of my Darknets talk from Phreaknic 2009,
I hope to have a better version up soon. It covers the the basics of
semi-anonymous networks, their use (political dissidence, file sharing,
gaming and pr0n), how they were developed and what they mean to
organizations. The main focus will be on the Tor, I2P, Freenet and anoNet
Darknets, their uses and weaknesses. |

Speaking at the November Louisville
ISSA meeting on setting up a "hack lab" From the invite email:
Our next meeting will be Friday, November 6th from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM at
IPI. As always, we will have free lunch, raffle prizes, and CPE credits! We
continue to execute our primary mission at each function - to continue
learning, network with other Security Professionals, and have FUN!
Please RSVP no later than Tuesday, November 3rd - 5 PM to programs -at-
issa-kentuckiana.org.
The topic is "Setting up a "hack lab" for learning security concepts."
Adrian Crenshaw - Irongeek.com
Our speaker is Adrian Crenshaw, the geek behind Irongeek.com and the guy who
set up and ran our very successful Capture the Flag event at the Louisville
Metro InfoSec Conference!
Adrian will show how to set up tools and systems to best test and learn
security techniques. This knowledge is vital for any Information Security
professional who wants to stay on top of the latest risks. |
| 10/26/2009 |
Getting started with the I2P Darknet
I2P (originally standing for Invisible Internet Project) can be seen as a
networking layer sitting on top of IP that uses cryptography to keep messages
confidential, and multiple peer to peer network tunnels for anonymity and
plausible deniability. While Tor is focused more for hiding your identity while
surfing the public Internet, I2P is geared more toward networking multiple I2P
users together. While you can surf to the public Internet using one of the I2P
out proxies, it's meant more for hiding the identity of the providers of
services (for example eepSites), sort of like Tor's concept of Hidden Services,
but much faster. Another advantage I2P has is NetDB, a distributed way to let
peers know about each other once initial seeding has occurred. Tor on the other
hand uses it's own directory to identify servers, which in theory could be more
easily blocked. Both networks have their advantages and trade offs. This video
won't cover the details of I2P's peering or encryption systems, and may seem
kind of rambling, but it should be enough to get you up and running on the
darknet.
Please note, this video came out way larger than I
intended. |

Phreaknic 13, Oct 30th to Nov 1st
It's that time of the year again, and that means it's time for my favorite
con: Phreaknic!!! This year I will be presenting a hopefully more refined
version of my
Darknets talk. Check out their site for
more speakers.
Some of the other speakers include Acidus (Billy Hoffman), Morgellon, Droops,
Tyler "Trip" Pitchford, Esq., Scott Moulton, DOSMan and SlimJim. Skydog has
posted some videos about the conference on the front page of
Phreaknic.info, like this one:
but if you want to get a better feel for what the conference is
like, check out my documentary video from the
Phreaknic 12 hacker con. |

Louisville InfoSec CTF 2009
This video summarizes one possible way contestants could have completed the
Capture The Flag event at the 2009
Louisville Infosec. Tools and concepts used in the video include: Backtrack
4, Kismet Newcore, Nmap, Metasploit, Meterpreter, Firefox, SQL Injection, Cain,
Truecrypt and 7zip.The winning team was comprised of Rel1k (Dave Kennedy),
Pure-Hate, Archangel, and Titan. Yes, Dave did compromise my personal laptop
during the event, teaches me for not mitigating 0 days before the conference. :)
When Archangel told me he was bringing Dave in for his team, I knew which way
thing were going to go down. Rel1k and Purehate are Backtrack 4 developers, and
Archangel and Titan are no slouches either. Congrats guys. |

Darknets: Fun and Games with Anonymizing Private Networks
Here are the slides from my Darknets talk. It was first delivered at the
2009 Louisville Infosec, and I will
be doing a more polished version at
Phreaknic 2009. Networks covered include Tor, Freenet, AnoNet/DarkNET
Conglomeration and I2P. I hope to have video up soon. |

File Carving and File Recovery with DiskDigger
DiskDigger is a tool that allows you to recover deleted files off of a FAT or
NTFS drive. It has two modes of operation: In the first it merely looks in the
FAT/MFT to find files marked as deleted, in much the same way that the tool
called Restoration does. In the 2nd mode it does a file carve down the drive
looking at the raw bits and finding the know headers and footers of various file
types, much like PhotoRec. While PhotoRec seems a little more powerful,
DiskDigger is easier to use and its preview functionality is quite nice. This
video will cover the basics of recovering deleted files with DiskDigger. |

Capture The Flag At Louisville
Infosec Conference Details
As many of you know, I've been busy setting up a hacker war game for the
Louisville Infosec conference on
Oct 8th. The Louisville Infosec website has information about the
CTF event on their site, which should be updated shortly. If you would like
to compete please email the
Conference Chair. If you use the code "irongeek" you get $20 off the
admission fee for the conference. I believe the time frame is 9am to 3:30pm, but
the position of the event should allow you to watch the keynotes, eat the
included lunch and still, compete.
What are the prizes?
First prize is a Wi-Spy 2.4x Wireless Scanner!
The second prize is a WD 320GB USB Hard Drive
Third Prize is a Pico Mini USB 4GB (small enough to carry in your wallet)
Scenario (subject to some change):
The admins try to run their network as a tight ship, but you have been brought
in to do a pentest. You know the admins have a Truecrypt volume out there with
Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Your goal is to find it, and decrypt
its contents till you get a list of names and Social Security Numbers. Little
hints will be given via a comment wall on one of the web servers. To win points
bring proof to the judge that the particular flag task has be completed.These
are the "flags", and their point values:
0. Attach to the Wireless network (hint:CTF is in the name) and show the judge
how you got the SSID. 15 points
(Name will be given if you can't find it, but you won't be able to get points
for it.)
1. Find the IP of the of the Windows box named WinCTF owned by IronGCorp, and
list 3 or more open ports. 5 points
2. Find the IP of the x86 based Linux box ran by IronGCorp, and list 3 or more
open ports. 5 points
3. What box are the admins running their Intranet site on, and what is the web
server type/version? 5 point
4. What is the Windows box's (WinCTF) Administrator password? 10 points
5. What is the x86 Linux box's Root password? 5 points
6. Copy PII.tc (a true crypt volume) to your box. 10 points
7. Password to the PII.tc file. 10 points
8. Password to a non x86 based Linux box. 10 points
9. Password to a 7zip archive. 10 points
10 The decrypted PII.csv file. 25 points
Highest point score at the end of the game wins. If two contestants have the
same points at the end of the game, the first to accumulate their point total
wins. Obviously, if you play as part of a team you have to figure out amongst
yourselves how to split the prize. The winner will get up on stage and explain
what he did when he picks up his prize.

Anti-Forensics: Occult Computing Class
This is a class I gave for the
Kentuckiana ISSA on the the subject of Anti-forensics. It's about 3 hours
long, and sort of meandering, but I hope you find it handy. For the record,
Podge was operating the camera :) Apparently it was not on me during the opening
joke, but so be it, no one seemed to get it. I spend way to much time on the
Internet it seems. Also, I'm in need of finding video host to take these large
files. This class video is 3 hours, 7 min and 1.2GB as captured.Side Note: I
still have about 7 free passes to the
Louisville InfoSec to give away. If you want a
free pass, just email me at irongeek at irongeek.com and agree to be in the CTF
event. If you don't want to be in the CTF, you could instead use the code "irongeek" when you register
and you will get $20 off the cost ($79 instead of $99). |

DD-WRT
v24-sp1: CSRF Example (Bugtraq ID: 35742 )
I was interested in giving a real world example of using a CSRF attack, similar
to the ones I mentioned in my
OWASP
Top 5 video, and maybe use it against a piece of internal equipment that is
behind a NAT box. Then I heard about
the
Carlos Perez write-up on using Metasploit against a vulnerability in the DD-WRT
v24-sp1 firmware. I thought this would be a great way to demo the concept of
using CSRF/XSS against hardware behind a NAT, especially since I've done a
video on installing DD-WRT before. |

Nathan Hamiel /Shawn Moyer - Satan is on my Friends List: Attacking Social
Networks
Social Networking is shaping up to be the perfect storm... An implicit trust of
those in one's network or social circle, a willingness to share information,
little or no validation of identity, the ability to run arbitrary code (in the
case of user-created apps) with minimal review, and a tag soup of client-side
user-generated HTML (Hello? MySpace? 1998 called. It wants its markup vulns
back). Yikes. But enough about pwning the kid from homeroom who copied your calc
homework. With the rise of business social networking sites, there are now
thousands of public profiles with real names and titles of people working for
major banks, the defense and aerospace industry, federal agencies, the US
Senate... A target-rich and trusting environment for custom-tailored,
laser-focused attacks. Our talk will show the results of a series of public
experiments aimed at pointing out the security and privacy ramifications of
everyone's increasingly open, increasingly connected online personae and the
interesting new attack vectors they've created. |

Daniel Hooper - An Introduction to Software Defined Radio by Cowboy Dan
Software Defined Radio (SDR) is the latest (and possibly last) iteration of
radio communication technology. Traditional radio technology is very
hardware-oriented, and somewhat inaccessible to the software-hacking community.
NO LONGER! With a fixed piece of hardware such as the Universal Software Radio
Peripheral (USRP), we can emulate many different kinds of traditional hardware,
from CW Morse-code type transmissions, all the way up to digital QAM, HDTV, and
beyond. This presentation will demonstrate how to get set up with GNU Radio and
the USRP hardware. We will perform a few simple tasks such as receiving radio
and TV. The goal is to get most people in the audience comfortable with the
setup process so that they can start experimenting. |

Irongeek - Hardware Keyloggers: Use, Review, and Stealth (Phreaknic 12)
This talk will cover hardware keyloggers and their use. About six will be
presented in person for folks to try hands on, with a few others referenced in
the slide show (mini-pci ones for example) . I'll cover the advantages and
disadvantages of the current crop on the market and how they work. Also covered
will be possible ways to detect hardware keyloggers via physical inspection an
software. |

TRiP - Discussion of the legality of wardriving (Phreaknic 12)
This talk is to provide a "current" legal status of wardriving throughout the
US. The talk will include an overview of wardriving and it's history (wardialing),
the statues regulating all 50 states and how courts have interrupted such
statutes, recent arrests for wardriving/related activities, and a brief overview
of the international statues. |

Scott Moulton - At Least TEN things you didn't know about your hard drive!
(Phreaknic 12)
This speech comprises at least 10 things that are 2+2=5 type situations people
do not realize about hard drives. For Example, Data is written in Cylinders on
hard drives, all partitions are created on Cylinder Boundaries and that leaves
an offset from the end of one partition to the next which leaves a gap between
partitions that is unusable or free space at the end of the disk. In addition to
that, the point would be, since the outer edge of a drive starting at Track 0 is
the fastest location on the drive, and the first partition is created on a
cylinder boundary at the outside edge, then each and every partition you create
on the disk has to be at a cylinder boundary into the disk. This means the
second partition is on a slower part of the drive than the first. So for Mac
Users that create a 32 gig Fat32 partition on their drive (actually the 6th/7th
partition on the drive) is 32 gigs from the end of the drive on a Cylinder
boundary and they just installed Windows on the slowest part of the drive. No it
will not be animated! |

Scott Milliken/Erin Shelton - Beer Hacking - Real World Examples (Phreaknic 12)
You build your own computers from the bare parts. You'd die before paying
someone else to actually write a basic HTML page for you. So why is it that you
pay up to 10x the actual cost of making beer for something of lesser quality?
This presentation will cover the various methods of making your own alcoholic
beverages (beer, cider, wine), including the equipment required and approximate
setup costs for each. Even if your skill in the kitchen is limited to the
microwave, there is a method of brewing that will work for you. Some
experimentation tricks will also be covered so that you can literally hack your
beer to create a new flavor. Samples of various batches made by the presenters
will be available during the presentation, assuming they haven't already drunk
all of it. |

Bruce Potter - Three Cool Security Technologies You've Never Heard Of (Phreaknic
12)
This talk will introduce you to 3 cool security technologies that you've
probably never been exposed to. There is still innovation going on, and much of
the most useful tech isn't getting press time. So I'm going to try and rekindle
some of that love you've lost over the years by giving you the 20 minute
low-down on each one. Go get some wine, light the candles, sit back, and enjoy
security again. What are the 3 technologies? Well, you'll just have to attend
the talk to find out. |

Russell Butturini - Using the Hak5 U3 Switchblade as an Incident Response and
Forensics Tool (Phreaknic 12)
This talk will explain how to adapt the Hak5 switchblade, originally conceived
as an attack/pen-testing tool into an incident response and forensics tool using
different utilities. Adaptations of the original solution using a non-U3 drive
and a more automated solution using U3 technology will be discussed. |

Ncat
Tutorial: A modern Netcat from the Nmap team
For those not in the know, Netcat is a utility who's goal is to be like the Unix
cat command, but for network connections. It has been referred to as
a "Swiss-army knife for TCP/IP" for good reason, since it can do so many things.
This is the biggest Flash tutorial I've done in awhile at 41.2MB, so I plan to
relax some. See you at Defcon. |

Compiling
Nmap form source on Ubuntu
Along the way to making a video on Ncat I needed to compile Nmap 5 from source,
so I figured I might as well do a video on that as well. There are many reasons
why you might want to compile Nmap from source instead of just using the package
manager, so enjoy. |

Windows 7: Copy A Modified User Profile Over The Default Profile
While this is not directly security related, it should be helpful to those who

NDiff:
Comparing two Nmap 5 scans to find changes in your network
Fyodor gave me a heads up that Nmap 5 was coming out, so I figured I'd do a
couple of videos on useful new features that come with Nmap 5 and later. For a
better understanding of Nmap in general, check out my older videos which I will
link to after the presentation. In this video I will cover the basics of using
NDiff to compare two seperate Nmap scans. This is really useful for change
management, where you want to know what new devices have appeared on your
network or about ones that have disappeared for some reason. You could easily
schedule Nmap to run on your network weekly, and then compare the differences
with NDiff to see what has changed.As a side note, looks like I'm going to
Defcon. Thanks to Haxorthematrix,
Sereyna, Minoad, Mr. Bradshaw, George and anyone else who donated to my
Paypal so I could go. |

Incident response switchblade, Tiger Team: The Whole Story, Our neighborhood
memories, Kon-boot, Cool tools for data collection, P/W cracker speed test
challenge, Look at my thumb, Olympic games, Louisville Info Sec Conference,
Anti-forensics and Legalities. Thanks for having me on.As a sidenote, I may
be going to Defcon after all but nothing is confirmed yet. I'll need to find
someone's floor to crash on Wednesday night as I think I'll be arriving a day
before the person I'm staying with the rest of the con. |

Incident Response U3 Switchblade From TCSTool
In Russell's own words: "The U3 incident response switchblade is a tool designed
to gather forensic data from a machine in an automated, self-contained fashion
without user intervention for use in an investigation. The switchblade is
designed to be very modular, allowing the investigator/IR team to add their own
tools and modify the evidence collection process quickly." This video shows you
how to setup u3ir, and modify it. |

Using
Kon-Boot from a USB Flash Drive: Bypass those pesky Windows and Linux login
passwords completely
Kon-Boot is a neat little tool that you can boot from a CD or a floppy, change
memory before booting a full OS, and then login to Windows or Linux without
knowing a proper password. The above link contains my notes and config files to
get Kon-Boot to work from a bootable USB drive. |

PHPIDS Install Notes and Test Page
I've been playing around with PHPIDS and have posted my notes on installing it
as well as details on the kinds of attacks by web site gets. Interesting, I get
a lot of attacks, mostly RFI.As a side note, GFI was kind enough to sponsor
my site for two months, show our appreciation by trying out some of their
log and vulnerability
scanning software. |

How to change
your MAC address article updated, added information on OS X 10.5.6 and latter
Apparently there are some problems changing your
MAC address in
versions of OS X 10.5.6 and latter. Stefan Person sent me a note about it,
so I added it to the article.
Also, Mubix recently did a presentation
for Dojo Sec on getting a job in
information security. In it he mentions my article on
how to cyber stalk potential employers. Thank much Rob! |

OWASP
Top 5 and Mutillidae: Intro to common web vulnerabilities like Cross Site
Scripting (XSS), SQL/Command Injection Flaws, Malicious File Execution/RFI,
Insecure Direct Object Reference and Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF/XSRF)
This is a recording of the presentation I gave to the Louisville Chapter of
OWASP about the Mutillidae project. A while back I wanted to start covering more
web application pen-testing tools and concepts in some of my videos and live
classes. Of course, I needed vulnerable web apps to illustrate common web
security problems. I like the WebGoat project, but sometimes it's a little hard
to figure out exactly what they want you to do to exploit a given web
application, and it's written in J2EE (not a layman friendly language). In an
attempt to have something simple to use as a demo in my videos and in class, I
started the Mutillidae project. This is a video covering the first 5 of the
OWASP Top 10. |

Louisville Infosec Conference Looking
For Sponsors/Speakers
As many of you know, I'm involved with the local ISSA group here in the
Louisville area. They are looking for sponsors for the upcoming Louisville
Infosec conference (Thursday, October 8, 2009 at Churchill Downs). We had about
250 attendees last year, so it could be a good spot for advertising your company
via a booth. One of our keynotes this year is Johnny Long. John Strand and
Eugene Schultz should also be presenting. If you are interested in being a
sponsor email marketing (at) issa-kentuckiana.org and let them know Adrian sent
you. We also may have a few speaker slots open for the breakout sessions,
contact chair (at) louisvilleinfosec.com if you have a proposal. For more
information, check out the Louisville
Infosec Conference site. |

Speaking at the OWASP
Louisville meeting, June 19th 2009
Hi all, the local OWASP chapter has asked me to speak about the
Mutillidae project. While I'd like to cover all of the OWASP Top 10 that it
implements, I think there will only be time for the top 5. The description as
posted on their site follows:
The second OWASP meeting will feature a presentation from Adrian Crenshaw
of Irongeek. Adrian is a Louisville based Security professional that has
worked in the IT industry for the last twelve years.
Adrian runs the information security website Irongeek.com, which specializes
in videos and articles that illustrate how to use various pen-testing and
security tools. He's currently working on an MBA, but is interested in
getting a network security/research/teaching job in academia. Please see the
description from Adrian on his presentation on the 19th.

test environment, and how to use it to illustrate the OWASP Top 10 web
vulnerabilities in easy to understand terms.
Our meeting location will be at Memorial Auditorium, located at 970 S. 4th
Street (Corner of 4th Street and Kentucky Street).

ARPFreeze: A tool for Windows to protect against ARP poisoning by setting up
static ARP entries
As many of you know, I've created quite a bit of content about ARP poisoning,
such as:
A
Quick Intro to Sniffers
Intro to ARP
poisoning
Using Cain to do a man in the middle attack by ARP poisoningI've even
done some work on detection:
Decaffeinatid: A Simple IDS/arpwatch for Windows
Finding promiscuous and ARP poisoners and sniffers on your network with Ettercap
This tool is for prevention.
ARPFreeze lets you setup static ARP tables so that attackers (using
Cain, Ettercap, Arpspoof or some other tool) can't pull off an ARP poisoning
attack against you. |

XSS, Command and SQL Injection vectors: Beyond the Form
We are all familiar with XSS via a form field in a web application, but what
about other vectors? The article talks about using User Agent strings, even
logs, object properties and other odd alternative vectors for XSS, SQL and
command injection. What other vectors can you think of? |

Another book for the list
Looks like my site has been mentioned in another book, Security+ Guide to
Network Security Fundamentals by Mark Ciampa. Thanks Mark.

802.11 Wireless Security Class for the Louisville ISSA Part 1
Originally, this was going to be one 4hr class, but Jeff had something come up
so he could not cover WEP/WPA cracking, and my section took so long that Brian
never got a chance to present his material on DD-WRT. I'm hoping to get them
back to do a part 2 of this video. In this section I cover the basics of WiFi,
good chipsets, open file shares, monitor mode, war driving tools, testing
injection, deauth attacks and the evil twin attack. Some of this comes out as
kind of a stream of consciousness, but hopefully you can find some useful
nuggets from my brain dump of what I've learned about 802.11a/b/g/n hacking. As
far as classes goes this is the mostly complicated one I've set up, and for a
wireless class Brian and I had to run a lot of wires. :) |

Moth added to the Deliberately Insecure Web Applications list
Mubix sent me another project for testing
your web app security skills against, so I added it to my list. Check out
Moth and let them
know what you think. It's a VMWare image, so it should be easy to get up and
running on your box. |

Mutillidae 1: Setup
Mutillidae is a deliberately vulnerable set of PHP scripts I wrote to implement
the OWASP Top 10 web vulnerabilities. I plan to use these scripts to illustrate
common web app attacks in a series of future videos. The easiest way to get up
and running with Mutillidae is to use XAMPP, an easy to install Apache
distribution containing MySQL, PHP and Perl. This first video covers setting up
Mutillidae, which can be downloaded from:

Making Hacking Videos: Irongeek's Presentation from Notacon 2009
Over the years I've done a lot of video tutorials using screencasting software to teach folks new to hacking how various security
tools work. I'd like to share the tips and tricks I've learned so that others
can start to teach people about technology in the same way. Covered topics will
include: Screencasting software, free tools, getting the best video for the
least bandwidth, audio work, free hosting, animations and more. This is a presentation I did for
Notacon 2009. Thanks to Ted and crew for recording it. |

New Video:Using SSLStrip to proxy an SSL connection and sniff it
John Strand of
Pauldotcom allowed me to post this
video that shows how to use SSLStrip to proxy an SSL connection and sniff it,
without those annoying warning messages about the cert that other tools give. From
John's description:
With SSLStrip we have the ability to strip SSL from a sessions. Using this tool
we have the capability to capture in clear text user IDs and passwords. |
| 04/03/2009 |
Mutillidae: A Deliberately Vulnerable Set Of PHP Scripts That Implement The
OWASP Top 10 Updated
Added the activity log section so I could show off stored user agent XSS, added
information on cookie stealing with XSS to the tips section, added catch.php to
show how to grab data after an XSS and did a few other minor little tweaks.
Also, I changed some of the text around to include the "Ate up with suck"
slogan.As a side note, I hope to see some of you at
Notacon this year. |

Presentation Recording Rig Setup
I've been wanting to record some of my live classes, as well as the talks at the
upcoming Louisville Infosec.
This is the rig I plan to use to capture both the Power Point/computer screen
and live video of the presenter at the same time. Let me know if you have any
ideas for improvement. |

Footprinting, scoping and recon with DNS, Google Hacking and Metadata This class covers recon work, showing the student how a pen-tester/attacker can use public information to learn more about an organization before they compromise it's security. Covered topics will include DNS tools (like Whois, NSlookup/Dig, Nmap -sL), Google Hacking using advanced search terms and Metadata in images and documents. Recorded for the Kentuckiana ISSA on March 21, 2009.
It's about 3hr 7min long. |

Joe McCray "Advanced SQL Injection"
Joe McCray of
Learn Security Online sent me a video of a presentation he gave on Advanced
SQL Injection. It's a great primer, and I love his presentation style. Someone
buy the man a VGA to composite converter, or a HD camcorder so he can keep
making these vids. |

Robots.txt Honey-pot
Here is a list of folks who in the last 60 days were silly enough to look at my robots.txt file. I set this up as sort of a honey pot to see who was researching my site, looking for private files I might try to hide from search engines. As a side effect I wanted to scar their psyche as
punishment. :) Fun stuff. For the love of Cthulhu don't look in those
directories. For more information on this sort of thing, check out my article on The Joys Of Skiddy Baiting.
Also, I've been prepping up for mine and Brian's
recon class this Saturday, which is
one of the reasons I put up my new
about page (EXIF data and
all).
As a final note, I'd like to thank
Seth Misenar and
the Pauldotcom guys for giving me the
new tagline for my
Mutillidae Project: "Ate up with suck". |

Event in India
I get a fair number of readers from India, so Ravi wanted me to mention this
upcoming event:"FYODOR YAROCHKIN, the former
developer of SNORT IDS is coming to India.
From March 16th - 21st 2009, Fyodor will be discussing/offering courses on the
following topics at Fortune Katriya in Hyderabad, India:
* Advanced techniques of Computer Digital Crime scene Analysis and Forensics
* Advanced Hands-On Hacking techniques for a Penetration Tester
* Web and Application Security Advanced Training: looking at your applications
wearing the black and white hat. Looking at Application Security when the color
of your hat matters.
* Breaking networks with no wires: Attacking and securing WiFi networks, RFID
and Bluetooth implementations and more.
It's a great opportunity for beginners as well as advanced students to learn
from these courses and also to meet other corporate clients
he might be signing a MOU with E2-labs"
Just so you know, this is the Fyodor from the snort project, not Nmap. Two
different guys. |

Acidus (Billy Hoffman) - Offline Apps: The Future of The Web is the Client?
Traditional web apps used the browser as a mere terminal to talk with the
application running on the web server. Ajax and Web 2.0 shifted the application
so that some was running on the client and some of the web server. Now,
so-called offline application are web application that work when they aren't
connected to the web! Confused? This talk will explore how to attack offline

Rob Ragan - Filter Evasion - Houdini on the Wire
Today security filters can be found on our network perimeter, on our servers, in
our frameworks and applications. As our network perimeter becomes more secure,
applications become more of a target. Security filters such as IDS and WAF are
relied upon to protect applications. Intrusion detection evasion techniques were
pioneered over a decade ago. How are today's filters withstanding ever evolving
evasion tactics? The presentation will examine how evasion techniques worked in
the past and provide insight into how these techniques can still work today;
with a focus on HTTP attacks. A practical new way to bypass Snort will be
demonstrated. A tool to test other IDS for the vulnerability in Snort will be
demonstrated.
Bio: Background: While performing a pentest on a fortune 50 company I got
caught. My IP address was subsequently blocked. It was apparent that I was
causing way too much noise and they had triggered a network security filter that
blocked me. I came up with this presentation idea after implementing the evasion
techniques found here in a proxy application. I quickly realized none of them
work anymore on modern IDS. After some experimentation I eventually found
something that would let me sneak nearly any type of web attack past Snort. More
details on the attack can be found in my outline. I'm currently working on a
tool that will allow anyone to test their IDS/IPS for this vulnerability. |

Scott Moulton - Reassembling RAID by SIGHT and SOUND!
RAID is a great technology and in many cases is suppose to keep our data safe.
What happens when it fails? RAID Arrays are one of the most painful things to
reassemble. RAID 0 and RAID 5 software reassemblies have problems with Slice
Sizes, and Drive Orders and in many cases, the user has no idea what the
settings are. What do you do when you don't know the Slice Size and Drive Orders
and you need the data from damaged drives? Well here is a demonstration of a way
to determine this using Sight and Sound. I crammed as much on the subject as I
can into a 50 minute presentation with Demos. |

Presmike & Sippy - RETRI:Rapid Enterprise Triaging
The first part of this presentation presents a new paradigm for the Incident
Response process called Rapid Enterprise Triaging (RETRI), where the primary
objective is to isolate the infected network segment for analysis without
disrupting its availability. Part two of this presentation will introduce a new
Enterprise Incident Response tool that complements the RETRI paradigm. The tool
is a free, possibly open source, agent-based tool that is deployed to the
compromised segment to perform the traditional incident response tasks (detect,
diagnose, collect evidence, mitigate, prevent and report back). The tool will be
released at Blackhat 2009 / Defcon 2009 if all goes well.For now you get screen

Deliberately Insecure Web Applications
List Updated With "Mutillidae" And "Damn Vulnerable Web App"
When I first posted Mutillidae, Ryan Dewhurst emailed me and told be about a
project he started a few months before mine called
Damn Vulnerable Web App. His is also PHP/MySQL based, and we may be
combining some of our code base in the future. I've added Ryan's app, as well as
my
OWASP Top 10
implementation "Mutillidae", to the
Deliberately Insecure Web Applications List. |

Mutillidae: A Deliberately Vulnerable Set Of PHP Scripts That Implement The
OWASP Top 10
As most of you know, I make infosec tutorial videos for my site. I want to start
covering more web app pen-testing tools and concepts. Of course, I need a
vulnerable web app or two to use in my demos. I dig WebGoat, but sometimes it's
a little hard to figure out exactly what they want you to do to exploit a given
web application. Also, WebGoat may be a little too complex to use when
introducing a web programming newbie to web application security (it's easy to
get lost in the code, especially J2EE). In an attempt to have something to use
as a demo in my videos and in class, I started the Mutillidae project. What I'm
attempting to do is implement the OWASP Top 10 Web App Vulnerabilities in PHP,
and do it in such a way that it is easy to demonstrate common attacks to others
during live classes or video form. Please let me know what you think of what
I've implemented so far, and if you are interested in helping with the project.
Also, as a side note: I hope to see some of you at
Outerz0ne this week, remember it's a
free conference (with donations gladly accepted) so if you live within a couple
of hours of Atlanta GA you really should come by. Tell them Irongeek sent you.

Louisville KY has an OWASP
Chapter!
Too bad I can't go to this first meeting since I'm going to Outerz0ne, but I
plan to attend in the future. I'll
paste the details below for those that want to attend.
Louisville OWASP
Chapter – First Meeting Friday March 6, 2009
Hello all,
I am proud to announce that
we will be starting an OWASP chapter in Louisville, with our first meeting
coming on Friday March 6!
For those not familiar with
OWASP (or the Open Web Application Security Project), it is a worldwide free and
open community focused on improving the security of application software. The
OWASP mission is to make application security
"visible," so that people and organizations can make informed decisions
about application security risks. Everyone is free to participate in OWASP and
all of the OWASP materials are available under a free and open software license.
Around the world, OWASP
sponsors local chapters that are FREE
and
OPEN to anyone interested in learning more about application security. The
chapter groups encourage individuals to provide knowledge transfer via hands-on
training and
presentations of specific
OWASP projects and research topics and sharing SDLC knowledge. The chapters
encourage vendor-agnostic presentations from both local and national application
security professionals on various topics, pertaining to application security and
more specifically the OWASP Top 10.
The first Louisville OWASP
meeting will coincide with the Kentuckiana ISSA March meeting, on Friday March
6, 2009.
The Louisville OWASP chapter
is closely associated with the Kentuckiana ISSA chapter and our first meeting
will coincide with the ISSA March meeting on Friday March 6, 2009. This first
meeting will provide a presentation that describes the OWASP community, as well
as a technical presentation showing what SQL injection is and how it easily it
can be accomplished. This demo will strive to serve as a reference and overview
of the major vulnerability that can exist in a web application. If you have
never seen SQL injection in person this is a great chance to learn about it and
come ask any questions you have.
Curtis Koenig
and Mitch Greenfield, both from Humana, will be our presenters.
Following March's meeting,
we will meet quarterly on a different day and time. The information on future
meetings will be following soon. Please provide feedback to the board.
-
When: Friday, March 6,
2009, from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm @ Innovative Productivity / McConnell
Technology, 401 Industry Rd, Louisville, KY 40208
Our initial sponsor is
Accuvant, and we are very interested in other interested parties that would be
interested in sponsoring the chapter.
If you plan to attend the
meeting please RSVP by email to
Kristen Sullivan.
Everyone is welcome to join
us at our chapter meetings. Please check out our website at
http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Louisville
Thanks and we hope to see you
on March 6th!

Bluetooth Wireless Hardware Keylogger Review
The folks over at Wirelesskeylogger.com
were kind enough to send me a review unit. For more info on hardware keyloggers
in general, check out some of my other articles and videos on the topic which I
will link to at the end of this presentation. The core idea of a wireless
hardwarekeylogger is that you only have to get physical access to the computer
once to install it. From then on you just have to get close enough to the box
with a bluetooth device to grab the logs, at least in theory. |

Mobile
Pen-testing/Hacking tools section created, along with some other updates
Since it's been so long since I've updated my Zaurus section I decided to
replace it in the top menu with a
Mobile Device
Hacking section that collects all of my work with the Nokia n810, Windows
Mobile and Zaurus platforms. I'm getting an HTC Touch Pro, so if you have any
pen-testing/network apps you think I should mention for the Windows Mobile
platform please let me know.
Eric over at
http://www.isyougeekedup.com/ has already pointed some stuff out to
me.In other news, I'm playing with using the robots.txt file for
trolling/honey-potting people who recon my site (and damaging their psyche in
the process). More details on what
robots.txt is
can be found at Wikipedia, I maw write an article about it later. Also, I've
added a store section where
folks can order Irongeek.com
t-shirts if they want (with Bushibyte's
buff penguin logo) , I only make a $2 commission but it's better than nothing
and Printfection's stuff comes out pretty good. Also,
ISSA Louisville is having their
monthly meeting Feb 6th, don't forget to RSVP. |

Tor or not Tor: How to tell if someone is coming from a Tor exit node, in PHP
Awhile back I was thinking it would be cool to make my page look different for
people that are using the Tor anonymizing network. Also, I though it might
useful to some administrators to be able to block Tor users from certain
functions on their sites. I'm not in favor of censorship, but for certain
practical reasons it can be useful to detect Tor exit nodes and keep them from
accessing certain resources. I found some example code in Python, but I wanted
to code it in PHP for my site. I looked at the documentation on TorDNSEL and
came up with the code available at the link above. The example output is in the
image below.  |
| 01/29/2009 |
New Video:
Setting Up Tor Hidden Services
In a previous video I covered using the Tor anonymity network to browse the web anonymously. In this one I'll cover the basics of setting up a Tor hidden service. With a Tor hidden service, the true host IP of the service is hidden by the Tor network. Instead of having to hand out the true IP of the server, a service creator can hand out a *.onion hostname that's not linked directly to them. By setting up a Tor hidden service it becomes much harder for an adversary to figure out where the service is really being hosted from, and thus much harder to shutdown. This is a great thing for people like whistle blowers and political dissidents that want to share information anonymously, unfortunately it's also useful to pedos so be careful what links you choose to click on the onion network.
Also, I got Fed Watch to
work again and added to the menu system. To all of the United State Goverment
folks that use my site: I'm honored you use my resources, please let me know if
there are any training videos you would like for me to create. And send me a NSA/FBI/DHS
hat or t-shirt. :) |

Irongeek's Signature
Image and Logo updated
I noticed that my
Signature Image and the logo in the top left of my site was not loading
correctly for users at certain ISPs. After contacting my hosting provider (see my
Dreamhost review)
I figured out my Whois query was failing for some ISP's IPs. Luckily I found some code from
Andrew Pociu
that showed me how to do the Whois in PHP without using the "whois" command at the shell.
Now it should work fine: 
Complete source
code for my Sig is included. I also updated my "What
is my IP and user agent" page to use the new Whois function so you can find
out who owns the IP range you are coming from. Now if I can just figure out why
my FedWatch page is taking
so long to load.
As a side note, sorry I'm not posting as much as I use to. I'm taking one MBA
class and two SANS @Home courses
right now, which takes up a far bit of my time. I may also be prepping up some
more live talks for the Tech
Exchange and Louisville ISSA
events. Hope to see some of you at the
Louisville Geek Dinner, Jan 26th
2009. |

Ok, this comes down to me begging for donated or loaner hardware. I've developed
an interest in testing out the security of IP surveillance cameras, but I lack
the resources to do it. If you know anyone who would donate/loan me some
hardware that would be great. Barring that, if someone could let me test at
their facility in the Louisville KY area that would also work. I don't have
money to offer for shipping, but the vendor will get free advertisement on a

NetworkMiner for Network Forensics
NetworkMiner is a cool little sniffer app by Erik Hjelmvik. Described as a
Network Forensic Analysis Tool (NFAT), it allows you to parse libpcap files or
to do a live capture of the network and find out various things passively. The
main uses I like it for are file reconstruction of FTP, SMB, HTTP and TFTP
streams as well as passive OS fingerprinting, but it can do a lot more.
NetworkMinor uses the Satori, p0f and Ettercap OS fingerprints, and can be run
from a thumb drive without having to install it. It's designed to run under
Windows, but you can also use it under Linux with Wine. |

platform. Sorteal talks about the LiVes Open Source video editor. AT&T Batman
building by night. Mojo-JoJo soldering some stuff for the shooting range. The
patron gods of hackerdom. Registration. Con swag overview. Morgellon gets
his discreet logic on. AK-47 building with HandGrip and Buttstock. Froggy talks
up Notacon, which I plan to go to next year. Skydog explains the Jware chair
toss event, and then we compete. Rootwars hacker wargames. I ask
Int80 about using his nerdcore
music in some of my videos. NotLarry explains rootwars. Some iPhone hacking with
Lee Baird and John Skinner. I
do a little
Bluecaseing/Warnibbling with the Bluetooth on my Nokia n810. John, Lee,
Brian and I go to the German restaurant. I blind DOSman with the light from my
camera and check out what folks are doing with the
Arduinos Droops brought for folks to play
with. I check back in on R00tW4rz. I blind Droops. I talk Ettercap filters with
operat0r. USB door key fun with the
Arduino. More breadboard fun. Nokia n810 +
Ettercap Filter + Lemon-part = win.
Int80 gets down with his own bad self, and the rest of Phreaknic. I find an
energy drink with protein. Folks play with the hardware keyloggers I brought,
and we have some epic fail with the IBM Model M + USB adapter + Mac OS 10.5.
Winn Schwartau joins in on the
keylogger fun. DOSman and Zack use
a directional antenna from the 9th floor to search downtown Nashville for WiFi
access points. Zoom in on Al. John and Lee eat jerky.
Daren and Shannon from Hak5 blind me this
time. :) Then they do a quick interview. I interview
TRiP about the legalities of wardriving,
sniffing and leaving your access point open so you have plausible deniability of
copyright infringement (most likely it won't hold water in court if you are a
computer geek). I give Hak5 Daren beef jerky.
Ziplock had more con badges
than God. I meet up with Iridium. I talk with Nightcarnage about the audio/video
setup at Phreaknic. As I predicted, the
Potters won the WiFi
Race. I say why this was the best Phreaknic ever. Using green lasers on crack
dealers. Techno in the dark, the Aiptek action HD does not do well in low light.
Nicodemius shows off his Minority Report like multi-touch table. Hula hoop
contest. I check back in with Jeff Cotton and his USB keyed door. I strap on my
gear to leave the con. Brian and I do a wrap up of our thoughts on Phreaknic
2008. |

Using Cain to sniff RDP/Remote Desktop/Terminal Server traffic via "Man in the Middle"
In this video I'll be showing how Cain can pull off a "Man in the Middle" attack against the Remote Desktop Protocol. While RDP
versions 6.0 and later are less susceptible to these attacks because of the
verification schemes added, there is still a risk since so many users just click
yes to all warning messages. |

Network Printer
Hacking: Irongeek's Presentation at Notacon 2006 now on Vimeo
This is a presentation I did for
Notacon 2006 based on my
Network Printer Hacking Article.
I decided to make it an embedded Vimeo page since that's a lot easier to view
than to have to download the AVI. I've got a presentation coming up for
Phreaknic next weekend on "Hardware
Keyloggers: Use, detection and mitigation". If you are in Nashville TN, come on
by and play with the keyloggers I'm bringing. For more info on the subject check
out these articles/videos of mine:
Hardware Key Logging Part 1: An Overview Of USB Hardware Keyloggers, And A
Review Of The KeyCarbon USB Home Mini
Hardware Key Logging Part 2:A Review Of Products From KeeLog and KeyGhost
Hardware Key Logging Part 3: A Review Of The KeyLlama USB and PS/2 Keyloggers
Hardware Keyloggers In Action 1: The KeyLlama 2MB PS/2 Keylogger

Irongeek needs hats, black
or white does not matter
I know this seems like and odd request, but I'm in need of some hats to wear at
the gym and to cons. If you are a vendor or owner of some security product or
site please contact me
and I can send you my snail mail address (not that it's hard to Google for it, I
dropped my docs long ago). |

BeEF: Browser Exploitation Framework XSS Fun
John Strand of
Black Hills Security sent me
another awesome video on using BeEF, cross site scripting and other fun. |
| 10/15/2008 |
Using Metasploit to create a reverse Meterpreter payload EXE by John Strand John Strand of Black Hills Security sent me an awesome video on using Metasploit to create an EXE with the Meterpreter payload that creates a reverse TCP connection outbound, blowing through many NAT boxes and firewalls. This goes great with a previous video I did on EXE Binders/Joiners. |
| 10/14/2008 |
Using Cain to do a "Man in the Middle" attack by ARP poisoning
I'm creating this video for three reasons:
1. While I've done a lot of videos on Cain, most of them are more advanced and assume you know the basics.
2. The last video I did on ARP poisoning with Cain was more than four years ago, Cain looks quite a bit different now.
3. I wanted a reference for the classes I'll be teaching for the Kentuckiana ISSA.
Before you watch this video, read my article "The
Basics of Arp spoofing/Arp poisoning"
so you will have a better grasp of the concept. |

John Strand - "Advanced Hacking Techniques and Defenses" (and demos
of evilgrade/passing the hash/msfpayload) from
Louisville Infosec 2008
John Strand gave this presentation for the
Kentuckiana ISSA at the Louisville Infosec 2008 conference. He gives a
fascinating talk about why "security in depth" is dead, and lives again. John
then goes on to demo Evilgrade, using msfpayload and obscuring it against
signature based malware detection, dumping SAM hashes with the Metasploit
Meterpreter and using a patched Samba client to pass the hash and compromise a
system. I'd like to thank John for letting me record his talk. |
| 10/11/2008 |
Rohyt Belani - "State of the Hack" from
Louisville Infosec 2008
Rohyt Belani gave this presentation for the
Kentuckiana ISSA at the Louisville Infosec 2008 conference. Rohyt shows new
ways to think about hacking, going into how and why simple things work on the
people element. Why hack a system when a quick Google search can reveal so much?
Rohyt's talk was humorous and informative, and I'd like to thank him for letting me record his
it.
|
| 10/11/2008 |
Adrian Crenshaw - "Intro to Sniffers" from
Louisville Infosec 2008
I gave this presentation for the
Kentuckiana ISSA at the Louisville Infosec 2008 conference. I cover the
basics of how network sniffers work, and specifically talk about Wireshark,
Cain, Ettercap and NetworkMiner. I came up with the presentation on short order,
so please be forgiving of the stumbles. :) You can
download the slides
from here.

| 10/11/2008 |
Kevin Beaver - "Staying Ahead of the Security Curve" from
Louisville Infosec 2008
Kevin Beaver gave this presentation for the
Kentuckiana ISSA at the Louisville Infosec 2008 conference. There's a lot of
great advice in this video on how to approach an infosec career in the right
way. Kevin endorses being a security "renaissance man", expanding your knowledge
outside of the tech side to understand the business, people and legal sides as
well. At the same time he also points out that sometimes specialization is good,
so focus on your strengths. I'd like to thank Kevin for letting me record his talk. |
| 10/09/2008 |
Slides from my
"Sniffers" presentation posted
Well, LouisvilleInfosec
is over and it was even better this year that last. I met a lot of good folks,
and I hope to have the videos up shortly. For those that were there and want my
slides, they can be found
here. Hope some of
you can make it to the free Louisville Tech class in November. |
| 10/08/2008 |
John Strand's videos
on Evilgrade, Samurai, Hacker Defender and other topics (Blackhills Security)
I had the pleasure to meet John Strand tonight at the pre-LouisvilleInfosec
dinner. Great guy, and fun to talk to. Made me realize there's a lot of stuff I
need to learn about. Check out his videos at the link above. I hope to
have his keynote from the conference up at my site shortly. |

New Video:Finding listening ports on your Windows box using Netstat, Fport, Tcpview, IceSword and Current Ports
Host based firewalls are fine and dandy, but I'd rather turn off services I
don't need than to just block them. Host based firewalls are sort of a bandage,
and while they can be useful for knowing what is connecting out (see egress
filtering), it's better just not to have unneeded network services running in
the first place. This video can be seen as a supplement to my article "What
can you find out from an IP?" |
| 10/07/2008 |
Update:Sniffers presentation at 2008 Louisville Metro InfoSec
Conference Thursday, October 9th, 2008
Looks like I will be presenting at the upcoming
Louisville InfoSec Conference
put on by the ISSA, Thursday, October 9th, 2008 at Churchhill Downs. The person
they had set do do the live hacking demo had to drop out, so they asked me to
fill in on short notice. |

OSfuscate: Change your Windows OS TCP/IP Fingerprint to confuse P0f,
NetworkMiner, Ettercap, Nmap and other OS detection tools
I was wondering awhile back how one could go about changing the OS fingerprint
of a Windows box to confuse tools like Nmap, P0f, Ettercap and NetworkMiner. I
knew there were registry setting you could change in Windows XP/Vista that would
let you reconfigure how the TCP/IP stack works, thus changing how the above
tools would detect the OS. I wasn't sure what all registry changes to make, but
luckily I found Craig Heffner's work on the subject. In this post I cover the
issue of passive/active OS fingerprint detection, as well as release my tool
OSfuscate. |

Weak Hashing Algorithms: Outlook PST file CRC32 password cracking example
In a previous video I explained the basics of cryptographic hashes. Go watch "A Brief Intro To Cryptographic Hashes/MD5"
before this video. In this tutorial, I'll be giving an example of why weak
hashes are bad. The example I'll be using is the CRC32 hash that Outlook uses to
store a PST archive's password with. The CRC32 algorithm as implemented by
Microsoft Outlook is easy to generate hash collisions for, so even if you can't
find the original password you can find an alternate one that works just as
well. |

2008 Louisville Metro InfoSec Conference Schedule Posted
Cindy was kind enough to send me the schedule for the upcoming ISSA conference
in Louisville. While I'm not speaking, I did receive permission to record the
keynotes from Kevin Beaver, Rohyt Belani and John Strand which I will be posting
to this page. While not recording expect to see me in the technical track. Maybe
I'll be able to convince some of the local ISSA guys to come down to
Phreaknic with me this
year. |
| 09/25/2008 |
I'll be speaking at Phreaknic
this year
My talk proposal has been accepted, so I'll be giving a presentation on
hardware keyloggers and their detection at this year's Phreaknic. It runs
from October 24th - 25th, 2008 in Nashville, TN. It's a great event if you can
make it. |

Teaching Hacking at College by Sam Bowne
This was a DefCon 15 presentation (August 3-5, 2007) by Sam Bowne. Sam does a
great job explaining how to teach ethical hacking at a university, and since he
gave me a shout out in the video I figured I'd post it up here. Definitely a
must watch if you are trying to convince your college's administration that it's
a good idea to teach such a course. Check out Sam's site at
http://www.samsclass.info/ if you want
to use his teaching curriculum. |

DecaffeinatID Intrusion Detection System ver. 0.08
I changed how DecaffeinatID checks for file changes in the firewall log. It
seems the under Vista Autoit does not return the correct information about when
the log file has changed its size or its time stamp, so I look for line count
changes instead. This really is not the best way to do things, but it's a
workaround for the moment. DecaffeinatID now also tries to detect if you are
running Vista, and if so set's the default path to the firewall log in the ini
to "<WindowsDir>\System32\LogFiles\Firewall\pfirewall.log" instead of "<WindowsDir>\pfirewall.log". |

How Sarah Palin's Email got "Hacked"
This is a quick video reconstruction I did of how Sarah Palin's Yahoo account
got "hacked". You will see it's more about insecure design and easy to find
information than anything really technical. I made a test account at Yahoo and
this video traces the steps the attacker took. I'm hoping it will be useful to
journalists who don't really seem to have a grasp on the story. Feel free to
link it anyplace you like. |

New Video:
Intro to DD-WRT: Mod your wireless router to do more
DD-WRT is a Linux firmware available for many Linksys, NetGear, Belkin, D-Link,
Fon, Dell, Asus and other vendor's wireless routers. DD-WRT is far more feature
rich than the stock firmware that comes with most routers. This video covers the
basics of installing and configuring DD-WRT.Two side notes: My Nmap class
will be held at Ivy Tech in Sellersburg Indiana at 1PM on Sat Sept 20th 2008 in
room P5. If this one goes well the next presentation will be on sniffers. Also,
thanks to all of the folks who have signed up for
Dreamhost using
my discount code, it's really helped support the site with extra revenue. |

Books page updated with
"Kismet Hacking" from Syngress
I did some surfing on Amazon yesterday and found out my IGiGLE tool was
mentioned in Syngress publishing's new book "Kismet Hacking" (Page 227), so I
added it to my bibliography page. Thanks for the mention guys. |

IGiGLE: Irongeek's WiGLE WiFi Database to Google Earth Client for Wardrive Mapping
Updated
I've uploaded version IGiGLE 0.75. This fixes the "$WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE:
undeclared global variable." error when you try to compile with the newer
versions of Autoit3. Also, I've added a feature so IGiGLE saves your last
used settings to an ini file so you don't have to keep entering them over
and over again. |

Nmap
presentation for the ISSA in Louisville Kentucky
This is a presentation I gave for the
Kentuckiana ISSA on the security tool Nmap. I've also posted the
slides and other media
so you can follow along if you like. Topics covered include: port scanning
concepts, TCP three way handshake, stealth scans, idle scans, bounce scans,
version detection, OS detection, NSE/LUA scripting and firewall logs. Hope some
of you can make it to the free class we will be holding at Ivy Tech Sellersburg
on Sept 20th, 2008 at 1pm.
Contact me to RSVP. The video is about an hour long. Enjoy. |

Quick Notes On Getting Bart's PE/Ultimate Boot CD For Windows To Boot From A
Thumb Drive
Just what the title says, it's just a lot easier to carry around a UFD on

spyware and other odds and ends.Also, on other security topics check out
my buddy Lee's page on hacking
apps for the iPhone / iPod Touch. |

MadMACs seems to have an issue with the Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN
chipset
I've added the following note to the MadMACs page: A patron of my website
pointed out that MadMACs, and other similar tools, seem to have a problem
randomizing the MAC address under Windows Vista if you are using the Intel
Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN chipset. It will work with the 4965AGN if you
randomize only the last two digits, and start it with the prefix 1234567890. It
will also let you set the whole MAC address to DEADBEEFCAFE, or even let you
randomize all 12 hex digits. However, if you take the default prefix of 00,
MadMACs will make a random address up and put it in the NetworkAddress registry
value, but the 4965AGN chipset drivers will not honor it. If anyone knows why,
please contact me. |

Nmap presentation and class in Louisville area
Hi all, my GRE test went well and I'm back to working on the site. I've been
invited by the Kentuckiana ISSA
chapter to give a presentation on
Nmap and its use.
The event happens Sept 5, 11:30AM at the following location:
Innovative Productivity / McConnell Technology
401 Industry Rd, Louisville, KY 40208
The ISSA would like to have an RSVP. Also, I'll be giving a longer hands on
demonstration and lab later on in September where people can bring their own
laptops and use a private network to get some hands on experience with Nmap. We
are not sure of all of the details yet, but it will likely be held Sept 20th at
the Ivy Tech campus in Sellersburg, IN.Also, this month's Louisville 2600 meeting is coming up on Thursday, Sept
24th. More details can be found here:

MadMACs Ver. 1.2: Update to my MAC address and host name changer /
randomizer / spoofer
Qwasty let me know that if
host name randomization is used with MacMACs, and the host name is over 15
characters (or has certain bad illegal characters) it can cause all sorts of
lsass.exe errors on boot up. To fix this, I've updated the code to do some
sanity checks on the possible hostnames given to it in dic.txt. Hopefully
this fixes the problem. I also compiled it with the newer
Autoit3 v3.2.12.1. |

Cain RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) Sniffing Log Parser
This is a quick script I wrote to easy the process of interpreting the logs
that Cain makes when you do a man in the middle against the RDP protocol. I
hope to use it in a video tutorial shortly. My GRE studies are still
ongoing, so please excuse the lack of updates to this site. As a side note,
the Louisville 2600 group now has
it's own site, and the ISSA
Kentuckiana chapter's site is back up. |

Small amendment to my Ironkey Review
Marc Luo from Ironkey emailed me his thoughts on my video, so I attached the

New 2600 Meet in Louisville, KY
Announcing the forming of a new 2600 meeting in the
Louisville, KY, New Albany/Jeffersonville/Clarksville, IN and the
surrounding area. We are looking for old faces and new faces to come and
join us in discussion and hopefully projects in all things hacking. From
computer security, to programming, to penetration testing and exploiting. It
has been far too long since Louisville and its surrounding area have seen a
group of security talent and we want to change that. If you want to be a
regular, have a general interest or just want to converse with fellow
techies please join us for our inaugural meeting.
When: Thursday July 31, 2008 @ 6:30pm
Where: Highland Coffee behind the Blockbuster near Bardstown road and Grindstead in Louisville, KY.

New Video:Ironkey
High Security Flash Drive: Use and Review
The Ironkey is a high security thumb drive designed to provide strong AES
encryption, tamper resistance and other security services. I'd seen the Ironkey
advertised quite a bit, and even read about its crypto systems and ruggedness,
but was left wondering about how it works in operation. Since the hardcore tech
side has been covered elsewhere, I'll concentrate on the Ironkey's usability and
features. Some of the topics covered will include: How is the drive mounted
without admin privileges in Windows? How is it mounted in Linux? How does the
"Self Destruct" feature work? What is Secure Sessions? How is the Ironkey better
than just using Truecrypt? I made this video to answer those sorts of questions
for myself and others. If you want more details on the crypto involved, see the
links section at the end of this video. The model I will be working with is the
1GB Ironkey Personal. I'll show its use and give my opinions on the device.By
the way, you may notice that I'm making fewer posts over the next month or so.
I'll be busy studying for the GRE, wish me luck. |

Web Bug Article
Updated With PHP/MySQL Source Code
I've updated my very old article on
web bugs/web
beacons to straighten out some bad formatting and to add an example of a web
bug that uses PHP and MySQL. For those that don't know, Web Bugs are images
(Gifs, Jpegs, PNGs, etc.) that companies and organizations put into web pages,
e-mails and other HTML supporting documents to track information about the
viewer. These images are sometime know by other names such as tracking bugs,
pixel tags, web beacons or clear gifs. What ever the name, their function is
largely the same. |

Dreamhost Review
Updated
It came to my attention that my Dreamhost review was a bit dated and had wrong
information based on changes that Dreamhost has made over the last year. I've
updated it to reflect some of Dreamhost's new polices, my experiences and how the
discount codes differ from when I last updated it (1/31/2007). I've also have
five limited discount codes to give away that grant the following: 2TB disk and
20TB bandwidth, gives $150 off a 5-year signup or $200 off a 10-year signup.
Contact me if you want
one of my five one time use codes. |

New Video:Setting
up a Tarpit (Teergrube) to slow worms and network scanners using LaBrea (The
"Sticky" Honeypot and IDS)
A network Tarpit, sometimes know by the German word Teergrube, is a service or
set of hosts that deliberately try to slow malicious network connections down to
a crawl. The idea is to put up unused hosts or services on the network that
respond to an attacker, but do things to waste their time and greatly slow their
scanning (or spreading in the case of Worms). For this video I'll be using a
package called LaBrea by Tom Liston and tarpitting unused IP addresses on my
home LAN.
Also,
DecaffeinatID Intrusion Detection System ver. 0.07 is out. |

Ironkey
at the Kentuckiana ISSA meeting on June 27th 2008
Steve Tonkovich from Ironkey will be
giving a talk at the ISSA-Kentuckiana Chapter Meeting on Friday June 27, from
11:30 am to 1:00 pm. Ironkey's discussion will be on securing mobile data. The
meeting will be held at their new location:
Innovative Productivity / McConnell Technology
Hopefully I can convince Steve to give me a demo unit of the Ironkey thumb drive
to test for a review on my website.
As a side note,
DecaffeinatID ver. 0.06 is out. |
| 06/23/2008 |
DecaffeinatID Updated to ver. 0.05
Several major improvements have been implemented. The various monitoring
functions are now set off via a timer. This allows the event loop to be looser,
the GUI more responsive and DecaffeinatID to be less of a hog on the CPU. This
caused a change in the way that the sleep parameter in the INI file is
interpreted. Now the sleep parameter specifies the amount of time in
milliseconds between each monitor function (ARP cache, Firewall and Event Log).
For example, with the new default of "sleep=1000", DecaffeinatID waits about one
second between each monitor function, so to go through one cycle takes about
three second with the default setting (I've taken it down to "sleep=100"
without major problems). The only downside to this is that some alerts may be
skipped if several happen at nearly the same time, but since DecaffeinatID's
main function is just to alert you of network shenanigans this is a worthwhile
compromise (when DecaffeinatID warns you about something, you really should
check your logs for more details anyway). I've also fixed a problem with ARP
cache parsing that was caused by the word "invalid" in the output of the "arp
-a" command. |

New Video:Compiling
and Configuring DHCPD from Source
Devil2005 has created a video on compiling and configuring dhcpd from source.
He's using the Fedora 9 distro of Linux for the video, but the lessons learned
should be applicable to other distros. For that matter, even if you are not
interested in installing dhcp in this way it's still a good lesson on how to
download and compile various applications from source. |

Doktor
Kaboom's Smoke Ring Cannon
Even though this is not computer security related, it was such a cool display I
had to share it with my hacker buddies. I guess you could call it hardware
hacking of sorts, with cool science principles. Make sure you re-watch the first
few seconds a couple of times to get the full effect. I saw Doktor Kaboom's
Smoke Ring Cannon at this years Kentucky Renaissance Faire. Now it's time to
make one of these things for myself. Check out Doktor Kaboom's site at:

DecaffeinatID: Simple IDS/ ARPWatch For Windows Updated
Jabzor
was the first major contributor to the project. He did
some major rewriting, making a better GUI, making my code
prettier/easier to maintain and laying out the INI file better. I made
further changes to Jabzor's GUI and made the ARP Watching function a little more
efficient (Still needs much work). |

DecaffeinatID: A Very Simple IDS / Log Watching App / ARPWatch For Windows
DecaffeinatID started because I wanted a simple ARP Watch like application for
Windows. In a short matter of time, feature creep set in. DecaffeinatID is a
simple little app that acts as an Intrusion Detection System (more of a log
watcher really) to notify the user whenever fellow users at their local WiFi
hotspot/ LAN are up to the kind of "reindeer games" that often happen at coffee
shops and hacker cons. |

New Video:Using
Data
Execution Prevention (DEP) in Windows XP and Vista: Fighting back against buffer
overflows and memory corruption
I've recently become interested in measures that modern CPUs can take to
prevent various types of memory corruption attacks. One such feature is the NX
bit (as AMD calls it, XD is Intel's term), which allows for memory pages to me
marked as not executable. Microsoft Windows started using this ability with XP
SP2 as part of their Data Execution Prevention (DEP) feature. Unfortunately, to
get most out of DEP you have to configure it. This video will show how to
configure DEP protection in Windows XP and Vista. |

Fed Watch
I was curious to see what government agencies might me using my site for

the last two octets of the IPs so as to not "drop their docs" so to speak. |

Physical Security, Locking Picking,
and more: Bloomington Fraternal Order Of LockSport
Normally I cover electronic security, but as we all know if someone has physical
access to your box they OWN your box. One reason to look into high security
locks and lock bypassing is to increase the physical security of your assets my
knowing what works and what doesn't. My friend
DOSMan gave a presentation recently at
Notacon 5 called Lock
Picking in the New Frontier - From Mechanical to Electrical Locks you should
check out if you are interested in physical security. Also check out the

A Brief
Intro To Cryptographic Hashes/MD5
A cryptographic hash function takes an input and returns a fixed size string
that corresponds to it, called a hash. Cryptographic hashes have a lot of uses,
some of which are: detecting data changes, storing or generating passwords,
making unique keys in databases and ensuring message integrity. This video will
mostly cover detecting file changes, but I hope it gets your mind going in the
right direction for how hashes can be used. Specifically covered will be tools
for creating MD5 hashes in Windows and Linux. |

to Speech to MP3 with the freeware program DSpeech
This video is on Dspeech, a freeware tool that uses Microsoft's SAPI (Speech
Application Programming Interface) to convert text to spoken word. What's
special about it is it lets you make an MP3 of the text, so you can listen to it
on your computer, in you car or on your MP3 player. It's great for listening to
study notes.
As an unrelated side note, a friend of mine want's me to mention his

Update:I made a small note at the
top of my recent "Encrypting The Windows System Partition With Truecrypt 5.0"
video. I used
Photorec to do some file carving to see how secure Truecrypt's Windows
system partition encryption was. Photorec was only able to recover two files,
one ASP/TXT file and one PCX, but on closer examination both were false
positives. They just contained seemingly random data, which Photorec mistook as
real file headers. Truecrypt seems to do a very good job of securing the data on
your system drive. As a side note, if anyone else is using LinkedIn please
feel free to add me and give
me a recommendation for the work I've done on this site. Who knows, it may
help me find a good career opportunity in my area. |

New Video:
Encrypting The Windows System Partition With Truecrypt 5.0
Truecrypt 5.0 adds many new features, most importantly Windows system partition
encryption. To put it in slightly inaccurate layman's terms, this means
encrypting your entire C: drive. Even if you already write your sensitive data
to an encrypted space, files are sometimes squirreled away in unencrypted temp
space or in the page file where they may be recovered. Using Truecrypt to
encrypt your Windows XP system partition will help eliminate this problem. |

New Video:Using GPG/PGP/FireGPG to Encrypt and Sign Email from Gmail
This tutorial will show how to use GPG and the FireGPG plug-in to encrypt and
decrypt messages in Gmail. GPG is an open source implementation of OpenPGP
(Pretty Good Privacy) , a public-key-encryption system. With public key
encryption you don't have to give away the secret key that decrypts data for
people to be able to send you messages. All senders need is the public key which
can only be used to encrypt, this way the secret key never has to be sent across
unsecured channels.

Nuclear
War Survival Myths
I did not write this
article, and while it's not about computer security it is about security. My
interest in this subject was renewed after watching the TV series
Jericho
(watch it so it stays on the air). I thought this article was interesting enough
to warrant mirroring, and it seems to jive pretty well with what I have read
from other authors such as Duncan Long and Cresson H. Kearny on the subject.
Please don't think I'm a paranoid, tin-foil-hat wearing freak, but I am a child
of the 80's and a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction. Don't worry, my video on PGP/GPG
is on its way. |

Wardrive Mapping With IGiGLE And WiGLE
For those that don't know, WiGLE is an online database of Wireless Access
Points (802.11A/B/G/N) that is contributed to by folks using Netstumbler, Kismet
and other wardriving tools. WiGLE has a web interface of its own, as well as
Java desktop client called JiGLE, but I thought that I should make my own
interface to the data to fit my needs. That's why I wrote a program called
IGiGLE to query WiGLE and turn the data into a KML (Keyhole Markup Language)

generated KML file and Google Earth it's easy to view and parse the access
points found by you and other WiGLE users. |

It looks like there's going to be an information security conference in my neck
of the woods next month. The
ISSA-Kentuckiana is holding the Fifth Annual Metro Louisville Information
Security Conference Oct 18th at Churchill Downs. Considering the location, maybe
they should have called it "Hackers and Horses". From the event site:

of directors is proud to announce the 5th Annual Metro Louisville
Information Security Conference. It is a full day event on October 18th,
2007 that will be held at Churchill Downs. Our keynote speaker is Marcus Ranum, a world-renowned expert on security system design and implementation.
In addition to the keynote, multiple technical, business/compliance, and
demonstration-oriented breakout sessions will be held. Up to 6-CPE credits
may be earned by attendance.

different communication types, the physics behind RFID reading and
transmitting, and the actual circuitry of an RFID tag and what it takes to
make them operate more consistently. The presentation will also cover actual
tag data and coding schemes with standardization including EPC Gen 2 and

IGiGLE WiGLE to Google Earth Wardrive Mapping App Updated
I've updated my IGiGLE app so you can filter by the date that the WiFi access

existing WAPs from your maps. |

The videos are back up. Seems my Wall of Social Science Majors
was posted on http://hackaday.com which may
have causes some of the problems. The folks at DreamHost said it was not the
bandwidth but the number of connections (which is somewhat disingenuous since to
suck up the 1TB pf bandwidth the number of connections is likely to be high). I
took some measures to keep the connections down. If anyone else wants to mirror
the videos let me know. |
| 03/09/2006 |
The videos will be down for just a bit. I got this email from my hosting
provider: Hello,
Unfortunately, I was forced to temporarily disable your irongeek.com/videos
folder by renaming it to videos_disabledByDH. The connections to the files
inside were monopolizing the apache webservice, and other sites couldn't be
loaded.
Please don't re-enable it until you make check your code and restrict the
connections to your files.
Sorry about having to go this route, but we can't have this happen on our shared
machines. Please note, that repeated temporary disablement may result in
disabling your domain and your account, for violating our Terms of Service (dreamhost.com/tos.html).
Let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

sessions from last year were ok and it gives you a chance to network a bit (in
both meanings of the word). Last year I gave a talk on local password cracking,
don't know about this year but since they have not contacted me and I'd only get
20mins I'd doubt it. If you plan to show give me a yell and can will meet up and
talk shop. |

Adding Modules to a Slax or Backtrack Live CD
from Windows
In this video I show how to add patches and extra modules to the Back|track
pen-testing Live CD using MySlax. By the way, I'm planning on switching to a new
hosting provider soon so hopefully I'll stop having bandwidth problems. |

Looks like a bunch of my cohorts from Infonomicon and I will be giving talks at
Notacon in Cleveland, Ohio April 7th-9th. Check out the
speakers list. Mine will be

Should be a fun time. |

SSH
Dynamic Port Forwarding
I set up a quick video tutorial to show how to set up an encrypted tunnel using
SSH's dynamic port forwarding (sort of a poor man's VPN) in both Linux and
Windows. The tools used are OpenSSH, PuTTY and Firefox, but it should be enough
info to allow you to figure out how to set up other clients. |
| 01/03/2006 |
Counter WMF
Exploit with the WMF Exploit
I used H D Moore's "Windows XP/2003/Vista Metafile Escape() SetAbortProc Code
Execution" revision 1.12 Metasploit module to create a WMF file that
automatically runs "regsvr32 -u shimgvw.dll" to counter the exploit. Clicking
the link may run code on your computer or crash your browser if you are using IE
so click with caution. More of a fun experiment than anything. |
| 01/02/2006 |
WMF File Code Execution Vulnerability
With Metasploit
This video covers the use of the recent (Jan 2006) WMF file code execution
vulnerability with Metasploit. It shows how to shovel a shell back to the
attacker with the WMF vulnerability. See
Microsoft Security Advisory 912840. Thanks to kn1ghtl0rd, AcidTonic,
Electroman and livinded for their help. |

Updates and Patches with Anna: Campus
Computer Security Series Episode 1
I decide to lend my expertise to some young ladies at my campus and make some
videos. This first one is on using Windows and Mac OS X's updating features.
Granted, it's not as technical as most of the stuff on my site, but it seems
quite a few of you work in higher education IT departments and these video might
be useful to raise awareness in your campuses student population. Also, I think
you would rather look at these ladies than me. Enjoy. |

I blew up my Zaurus 5500 last night, so don't expect me to update my Zaurus
section for awhile. Before it died, I did get the latest version of Dsniff to
work and maybe Ettercap (I fried it while I was testing). I think I hooked power
up to it backwards, be careful with those universal power supplies kiddies!
Anyone know where I can get a good deal on a Zaurus clamshell model? |

Metasploit Flash Tutorial: I created a new video that covers the use of Metasploit,
launched from the Auditor Boot CD, to compromise an unpatched Windows XP box by
using the RPC DCOM (MS03-026) vulnerability. It then sends back a VNC session to
the attacker. This is just one example of the many things Metasploit can do.
Check it out. |

Information security in campus and
open environments: I wrote this article a few months back for [IN]Secure
magazine, but this time the article has detailed footnotes and links to the
tools mentioned. It covers the basics of information security in
environments like universities, schools and libraries. While it's meant to
help organizations figure out how to lock down their computer systems it
reads sort of like a "How to hack schools" booklet. I plan to expand
the article as time goes by, let me know of additions I should make. |
| 08-09-2005 |
Need another video host: Droops has been kind
enough to let me use his bandwidth for a few months now, but it's getting to
the point where my videos are sucking up too much of his bandwidth. I'm
looking for a new place to host the videos. Ideas? I'm more than willing to
let the host put a small ad at the bottom of each video page. I think it's
too the point where the videos are taking a few 100 gigs of transfer per
month (not sure of the exacts, but Droops will let me know soon). Thanks to
Droop for letting me host my videos for so long on his dime. |

On 07-27-2005 I over ran by monthly bandwidth allotment (40GB on Irongeek.com,
glad Droops helps with hosting the videos or I would be over every month).
By the time you can read this the site should be back up. |
| 07-26-2005 |

| 06-13-2005 |
I put up a new tutorial called
Fun with Ettercap Filters that shows you how to make a filter that does
much the same thing as the Airpwn application. What it does is filter web
traffic though itself using ARP poisoning, then modifies the traffic to
replace images in web pages with an arbitrary image that we select. Cool
stuff. |

I decided to put up a review of
Legend Micro. |
| 05-05-2005 |
Laptop Backpack Woes: I loved by buddy's Targus TSB215
and wanted a similar backpack for myself. I did some searching and found out
that the TSB212 was almost the same pack, and I compared it on Targus' site
(http://www.targus.com/us/product_details.asp?sku=TSB212) and Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005T3H5/102-5486756-5720110?v=glance
). When I did a Froogle search I found the cheapest price at Legend Micro (http://www.legendmicro.com/store/more_info.asp?product_ID=3059) but there was
only a thumbnail of the backpack there. I figured it's the same part number so
I ordered it. Well, what I got is labeled on the inside tag as a TSB212, but
it's not the same as what's on Targus' site. Maybe they changed something
about the model at some point and Legend Micro only has the old version. Next
time I think I'll spend the extra $10 and go to Amazon. I did not care much
for the attitude I got while I was on the phone with them about it so I
figured I'd write this review. While I guess I technically got what I ordered,
I'm not happy with it. |

me up and running. |
| 04-25-2005 |
I've update many things in my
Local Password Cracking Presentation,
including adding a section on MSCache cracking with Cain v2.68 that was
released on Friday (April 22nd). I'm also starting to use a mirror site more
because I'm running out of bandwidth. |
| 04-20-2005 |
I've put up the Flash version of my
Local Password Cracking Presentation for the
Indiana Higher Education

anywhere yet as I may change it some before I present it live on the 29th. If
you have any feedback you would like to give me before the 29th email me. |
| 04-13-2005 |
Sorry it's be awhile since I posted new material. I've be

article of mine. |
| 03-19-2005: |
Changed some of the
menu and header system so that web pages like the
Zaurus
Security Tools section would render better in more browsers. I also
changed some of the layout on that page to get rid of white space. Soon as I
get my 256MB CF card I'll be updating more of the Zaurus instructions. |
| 03-18-2005: |
Added the "Your IP" webpage to the menu on the left. It also returns what information it can from Javascript. I changed the intro text
as well. |

rankings from IMDB. It may take a bit of time to load, see it here:
Irongeek's Zombie Film Ranking Using IMDB
10-06-2004: I just found out about how to use ipkg-link so I updated the

It should make my tutorials easier to follow. Soon I'll put up instructions for
Wellenreiter.
09-30-2004: Added links to a bunch of Hacker video and audio e-zines to
the bottom of my Links page.
08-20-2004: Kevin Milne has written a book about a hacker who creates the

modified date.
3-24-2004: Added "Random out of context RPG Quote" to the bottom of the page.
3-22-2004: I got a battery extender for my Zaurus and will be posting a review
soon (hope it significantly increases the time I can spend wardriving with the
Z). I also ordered some NiMh batteries for it but someone took them out of the
package before it got to me, I wrote the company I ordered them from and if I
don't get them soon I'll let you all know to never order from them. I also have
a "Change your MAC address" article and more on workouts coming soon.
3-19-2004: Added PayPal donation button.

cost of bandwidth?
03-10-2004: I got an E-mail from Fyodor, the main guy in charge of Nmap.
He sent a link to my website out to the 17000 people on his mailing list and my
site may get mentioned in a book he is writing. Kick Ass!!! Here is a link to
what he sent to his mailing list:
http://seclists.org/lists/nmap-hackers/2004/Jan-Mar/0003.html
03-10-2004: Jeff Nathan of the Nemesis project asked for me to change the link
on my Zaurus Nemesis how-to to
http://nemesis.sourceforge.net
03-07-2004: Looks like someone using an anonymous proxy at 200.252.72.9
is trying to crack the box my site runs on, it looks like they were trying to
get the passwd file and maybe try a buffer overflow. So far it would appear that
they have had no luck :)
