"ARPANET was established in 1968. In 1971, "creeper"programmed by Bob Thomas moved from computer to computer on ARPANET and displayed on each user's screen "I'm the creeper. Catch me if you can!". Xerox PARC set up the ethernet in 1973 since researchers were interested in the concept of "distributed processing". They were testing programs whose function were to check other computers on a network to see if they were active. One of the programs became known as the Xerox worm. More than thirty years have passed since the dawn of distrubuted processing.

Sun Tzu, a Chinese philosopher wrote "When you know others, then you are able to attack them. When you know yourself, you are able to protect yourself."Or Bismarck, as prime minister of Prussia, said "Fools say they learn from experience; I prefer to learn from the experience of others."

This presentation considers "the day-after"and lessons learned.

"Interpreted, dynamically-typed, and object-oriented languages like Ruby and Python are very good for many programming task in my opinion. Such languages have many benefits from rapid, easy development to increased security against memory allocation and manipulation related vulnerabilities. However, choice of programming language alone does not guarantee the resulting software written in the language will be free of security vulnerabilities, which is an obvious point, but the sources of the potential vulnerabilities may not be obvious at all.

Ruby is an elegant and powerful language that supports concepts like reflection and meta-programming. As more developers use the powerful features, more layers of the language implementation get exposed. In the presentation, I will review several vulnerabilities found in Ruby and its standard libraries, some publicly disclosed and others reported privately to the core Ruby developers. The focus of the vulnerability review is to highlight the different levels of the language implementation that need to be audited to identify vulnerabilities for a given application based on the complexity of the language features used.

Though Ruby is the example language used in the presentation, the concepts extend to most interpreted languages commonly used today.

"Has your network ever been hacked, and all you have to show for your investigative efforts is an IP address belonging to an ISP in Irkutsk? Are you tired of receiving e-mails from Citibank that resolve to Muscovite IP addresses? Would you like to hack the Kremlin? Or do you think that the Kremlin has probably owned you first? Maybe you just think that Anna Kournikova is hot. If the answer to any of the above questions is yes, then you need an introduction to the Gulag Archipelago of the Internet, the Cyberia of interconnected networks, Russia.

Do not let the persistent challenges of crossing international boundaries intimidate you any longer. In this briefing, we will follow several real-world scenarios back to Russia, and you will learn valuable strategies for taking your investigations and operations one big geographical step further. A brief introduction to Russia will be followed by 1,000 traceroutes over the frozen tundra described in detail, along with an explanation of the relationship between cyber and terrestrial geography. Information will be provided on Russian hacker groups and law enforcement personnel, as well as a personal interview with the top Russian cyber cop, conducted in Russian and translated for this briefing.

Quick: name one significant advantage that Russian hackers have over you. They can read your language, but you cannot read theirs! Since most Westerners cannot read Russian, the secrets of Russian hacking are largely unknown to Westerners. You will receive a short primer on the Russian language, to include network security terminology, software translation tools, and cross-cultural social engineering faux-pas (this method will apply to cracking other foreign languages as well).

Hacking in a Foreign Language details a four-step plan for crossing international frontiers in cyberspace. First, you must learn something about the Tribe: in this case, the chess players and the cosmonauts. Second, you must study their cyber Terrain. We will examine the open source information and then try to create our own network map using traceroutes. Third, we will look at the Techniques that the adversary employs. And fourth, we will conquer Translation. The goal is to level the playing field for those who do not speak a foreign language. This briefing paves the way for amateur and professional hackers to move beyond their lonely linguistic and cultural orbit in order to do battle on far-away Internet terrain.

"The use of phishing/cross-site scripting (XSS) hybrid attacks for financial gain is spreading. It?s imperative that security professionals familiarize themselves with these new threats to protect their websites and confidential corporate information.

This isn't just another presentation about phishing scams or cross-site scripting. We?re all very familiar with each of those issues. Instead, we?ll discuss the potential impact when the two are combined to form new attack techniques. Phishers are beginning to exploit these techniques, creating new phishing attacks that are virtually impervious to conventional security measures. Secure sockets layer (SSL), blacklists, token-based authentication, browser same-origin policy, and monitoring / take-down services offer little protection. Even eyeballing the authenticity of a URL is unlikely to help.

By leveraging cross-site scripting, the next level of phishing scams will be launched not from look-alike web pages, but instead from legitimate websites! This presentation will demonstrate how these types of attacks are being achieved. We'll also demonstrate the cutting edge exploits that can effectively turn your browser into spyware with several lines of JavaScript. And, we'll give you the steps you need to take to protect your websites from these attacks.

"In forensic research it is imperative to search for Japanese language strings. However many of the tools used in forensic research are being developed outside of Japan, and therefore not tuned for the Japanese language. In Japan there is research being done on using character encoding for anti-forensic countermeasures, and therefore character encoding and Japanese are significant issues for Japanese agents. This session will cover the various issues on Japanese when using popular forensic tools and other technical issues for future considerations.

"Our networks are growing. Is our understanding of them? This talk will focus on the monitoring and defense of very large scale networks, describing mechanisms for actively probing them and systems that may evade our most detailed probes. We will analyze these techniques in the context of how IPv6 affects, or fails to affect them. A number of technologies will be discussed, including:

* A temporal attack against IP fragmentation, using variance in fragment reassembly timers to evade Network Intrustion Detection Systems

* A high speed DNS tunneling mechanism, capable of streaming video over a firewall-penetrating set of DNS queries

* DNS poisoning attacks against networks that implement automated defensive network shunning, and other unexpected design constraints developers and deployers of security equipment should be aware of

* Mechanisms for very high speed reconstruction of IPv4 and IPv6 network topologies, complete with visual representation of those topologies implemented in OpenGL.

* Analysis of the potential for using name servers as IPv4->IPv6 gateways.

* In addition, we'll briefly discuss the results of research against MD5, which allows two very different web pages to emit the same MD5 hash.

"Many of the various attacking mechanism such as spam email, DDoS that are attacking the internet as whole in recent years can be attributed to Botnets.

However there is not much information on these Botnets yet. Telecom ISAC-Japan and JPCERT/CC conducted a detailed investigation regarding botnet activity. This session will cover what was found during the investigation and the current state of the massive amount of infected users and sub-species of botnets.

"Look at your new device! It has a great case, plenty of buttons, and those blue LEDs - wow! But when you strip away the trappings of modern artistic design, what does it really do and how does it help you sleep at night? Perhaps most importantly, what do hackers know about this new toy that you do not? Would you be surprised to know that simple TCP fragmentation can evade most security products in the world? What would you think if you learned that a hacker can apply simple, normally accepted encoding schemes to launch attacks right through most security tools? Come and see what hackers know; if you rely on these products to keep you safe, you can't afford not to.
