Hacking Exchange from the Outside In (<– add to your schedule)

Microsoft Exchange 2019 uses the Oracle Outside-In libraries to parse specific file types when attached to emails. This talk covers the process of discovering memory corruption vulnerabilities within the technology using AFL and Jackalope and the results of the fuzzing process. Outside-In was deprecated as a result of this research.

Once Upon a Cyber Threat: The Brothers Grimms Teachings on APT Awareness (<– add to your schedule)

Two hundred years ago, the first volume of fairy tales was published by the Brothers Grimm, introducing to the world a realm of magic, dark forests, and powerful villains to haunt everyone’s dreams.

We never imagined this realm would exist in the digital age. “”Once Upon A Cyber Threat”” delves into the realm of advanced persistent Threat Groups (APTs), drawing parallels between the world of poisoned apples, breadcrumb trails, and magic mirrors and today’s modern cyber threats. Serving not a tale of caution but a call to action and a lesson in storytelling, creating an outline that can help every security professional impart the caution, wisdom, and resilience we need to become the narrators that transformed Brother Grimm’s tales into the happy ever after stories we know today.

That Shouldn’t Have Worked – Payload Development 101 (<– add to your schedule)

The game of bypassing defenses and detection continues to be a cat and mouse game. Attackers often find clever ways to use common tools and techniques to execute their code and the defenders continue to create detections and mitigations for these methods. As a red teamer, it is becoming increasingly difficult to get around these defenses and emulate those attackers. In this talk, I will cover some of the methods we use during engagements to thread the needle and bypass those defenses.
