Top 10 Web Hacking Techniques of 2024 - James Kettle - ASW #318 Feb 18, 2025

Show notes

We're getting close to two full decades of celebrating web hacking techniques. James Kettle shares which was his favorite, why the list is important to the web hacking community, and what inspires the kind of research that makes it onto the list. We discuss why we keep seeing eternal flaws like XSS and SQL injection making these lists year after year and how clever research is still finding new attack surfaces in old technologies. But there's a lot of new web technology still to be examined, from HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 to WebAssembly.

Evolving the SOC: Automating Manual Work while Maintaining Quality at Scale - Allie Mellen, Tim MalcomVetter - ESW #394 Feb 17, 2025

Show notes

We've got a few compelling topics to discuss within SecOps today. First, Tim insists it's possible to automate a large amount of SecOps work, without the use of generative AI. Not only that, but he intends to back it up by tracking the quality of this automated work with an ISO standard unknown to cybersecurity.

I've often found useful lessons and wisdom outside security, so I get excited when someone borrows from another, more mature industry to help solve problems in cyber. In this case, we'll be talking about Acceptable Quality Limits (AQL), an ISO standard quality assurance framework that's never been used in cyber.

Segment Resources:

We couldn't decide what to talk to Allie about, so we're going with a bit of everything. Don't worry - it's all related and ties together nicely.

First, we'll discuss AI and automation in the SOC - Allie is covering this trend closely, and we want to know if she's seeing any results yet here.
Next, we'll discover SecOps data management - the blood that delivers oxygen to the SOC muscles.
Finally, we'll discuss MITRE's recent EDR evaluations - there was some contention around some vendors claiming to ace the test and we're going to get the tea on what's really going on here!

For each of these three topics, these are the blog posts they correspond with if you want to learn more:

Code Scanning That Works With Your Code - Scott Norberg - ASW #317 Feb 11, 2025

Show notes

Code scanning is one of the oldest appsec practices. In many cases, simple grep patterns and some fancy regular expressions are enough to find many of the obvious software mistakes. Scott Norberg shares his experience with encountering code scanners that didn't find the .NET vuln classes he needed to find and why that led him to creating a scanner from scratch. We talk about some challenges in testing tools, making smart investments in engineering time, and why working with .NET's compiler made his decisions easier.

Identifying and eradicating unforgivable vulns, an unforgivable flaw (and a few others) in DeepSeek's iOS app, academics and industry looking to standardize principles and practices for memory safety, and more!

The groundbreaking technology addressing employment scams and deepfakes - John Dwyer, Aaron Painter - ESW #393 Feb 10, 2025

Show notes

Spoiler: it's probably in your pocket or sitting on the table in front of you, right now!

Modern smartphones are conveniently well-suited for identity verification. They have microphones, cameras, depth sensors, and fingerprint readers in some cases. With face scanning quickly becoming the de facto technology used for identity verification, it was a no-brainer for Nametag to build a solution around mobile devices to address employment scams.

Segment Resources:

Listeners of the show are probably aware (possibly painfully aware) that I spend a lot of time analyzing breaches to understand how failures occurred. Every breach story contains lessons organizations can learn from to avoid suffering the same fate. A few details make today's breach story particularly interesting:

It was a Chinese APT
Maybe the B or C team? They seemed to be having a hard time
Their target was a blind spot for both the defender AND the attacker

Segment Resources:

This week, in the enterprise security news,

Semgrep raises a lotta money
CYE acquires Solvo
Sophos completes the Secureworks acquisition
SailPoint prepares for IPO
Summarizing the 2024 cybersecurity market
Lawyers that specialize in keeping breach details secret
Scientists torture AI
Make sure to offboard your S3 buckets
extinguish fires with bass
