Program Overview
The FIRST Technical Colloquium (TC) event is restricted to FIRST members only and will be held in Oct 5-7, 2005.
Nevertheless, since this will be a joint event with other CSIRT initiatives in the region, there will be two additional events adjacent to the TC in order to achieve non-FIRST-members as well. These two events are the FIRST/TRANSITS Course (Oct 1-2) and the Latin American Security Workshop (Oct 3-4).

This paper describes a tool that emulates the capabilities of a SSH server and is capable of monitoring the behavior of brute force ssh attacks. The tool was developed for using as a stand-alone tool or integrated on a honeypot. It was designed to obtain information about connections, users, passwords, SSH protocol version and commands entered by a successful attack attempt. An experiment using the same tool is also described. The experiment aimed to obtain information, statistics and a profile about this kind of attack. Some of the experiment results are presented at the end of the presentation.

An evening with Kha0s
Sebastián García, CITEFA
On March 10th, 2005, a Romenian intruder got access to an Army Force´s server of Argentinian Government. We allowed him to do that.
Later, others would add. For a six-month time period we studied, tested, provoked, analyzed them and of course we learned a lot from them.
We learned how to classify and identify as a result of their interaction with our systems. This presentation they will be shown investigative techniques, cases, motivations, the tools they had used and the ones we had to develop, the frustrations, the methodology, results and the actions these miscreants use to perform in real life.

Botnets Lab: From Soup to Nuts
Guilherme Vênere (Brazilian Academic and Research Network), Stephen Gill (Cymru Team, US)
The basics of botnet operations will be demonstrated in this lab from the initial moment of infection and miscreant abuse, to methods of spotting bot, and network cleanup. This lab will attempt to dispel some security myths
along the way such as the protection of NAT firewalls, safety of non-Windows operating systems, and miscreant motivations. It will also show how botnets can be used to perform illicit actions such as keylogging, scanning,
exploiting, and launching denial of service attacks.

Cryptography in forensics & reverse engineering
Ariel Futoransky (CORE Security Technologies, AR), Ariel Waissbein (CORE Security Technology, AR), Gerardo Richarte (CORE Security Technologies, AR)
Cryptography can be effectively used to improve the strength of communication, authentication and logging systems, but can also help the attacker in several different ways. Cryptographic obfuscation tools, can be used by an attacker to effectively hide the intent of tools deployed on compromised systems, complicating the analysis and limiting the information that can be obtained in a forensic process. This also applies to the payload of exploits and massive worms. A family of cryptographic obfuscation methods based on one-way-hash-functions will be presented and available analysis tools discussed. Format: demo

FIRST: Global Incident Handling
FIRST Board Member
FIRST (the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams) was formed in response to one of the original incidents to affect the Internet in 1989 – a year after the original CERT was formed. FIRST was formed to enable response teams to liaise with each other, form trusted relationships, exchange tools and information and assist each other is responding to incidents.
Membership of FIRST allows teams to join a global group specifically setup to improve the state of the internet. Why should you join? What benefits would it bring you and your organization?

ICMP Attacks Against TCP
Fernando Gont, UTN (Invited)
The ICMP protocol is a fundamental part of the TCP/IP protocol suite, and is used mainly for reporting network error conditions. However, the current IETF specifications do not recommend any kind of security checks on the received ICMP error messages, thus leaving the door open to a variety of attacks. ICMP can be used to perform a number of attacks against the TCP protocol, which include blind connection-reset, blind throughput-reduction, and blind performance degrading attacks.
Fernando will introduce the attacks that can be performed against TCP by means of ICMP, and will discuss the possible counter-measures against them. Of particular interest will be a discussion of a counter-measure for the blind performance-degrading attack, and a discussion of advanced packet filtering policies that could be used to mitigate the impact of these attacks. Furthermore, Fernando will also discuss why existing security mechanisms do not help to protect TCP from these ICMP-based attacks.
Last, but not least, Fernando will discuss the disclosure process of these security vulnerabilities, and the ongoing work at IETF on these issues.

Latin-American Forensic challenge V.2: Conclusion
UNAM-CERT, IRIS-CERT
The two major academic computer security related organizations from Mexico and Spain, UNAM through UNAM-CERT and the public company Red.es
through RedIRIS security group organized the forensic challenge V2.0, motivating system forensics development in Latin-America. 960 incident handlers were dissecting an image of a compromised Linux system and their reports were evaluated by specialist from Mexico, Spain
and Brazil last spring.
For this presentation we will discuss our Experinces and lessons learned about this work and what tools are being used by the community in
Latinamerica for this Forensic Challenge.

Recycling IPv4 exploit for IPv6
Franciso Jesús Monserrat Coll , IRIS-CERT
There is the false though in some people that IPv6 will be more "secure" than IPv4, mainly for the inclusion of IPSec . This presentation show that some of this ideas are not real and that it would be very easy to convert the current exploits (that propagates using IPv4) to use IPv6.

Taxonomy of Mexican Online Banking 2005: Threats and Mitigation
Juan Carlos Guel, David Gimenez, UNAM-CERT
Last spring UNAM-CERT presented within the Computer Security Congress 2005 in Mexico an study about 25 financial organizations, assessing Internet Banking computer security threatens and incident handlers
based reports like phishing, scam, pharming, etc.
This study discusses the need to bring on communications and coordinations channels in order to reduce the threatens faced by Internet Banking and anticipating new kinds of cyber-crime. Finally we
will present a work in progrees between UNAM-CERT and Mexican financial institutions.

Trends in Internet Attack Technology and the Role of Artifact
Jason Milletary, Cert/CC
Observation of recent attack trends have demonstrated the shifting of Internet attack technology to support financial gains. Attacks are increasingly targeting the end-user in an attempt to gather valued information and resources. An overview of these trends and the
role of artifact analysis in understanding and countering these threats will be presented.

VoIP Security
Peter Quick, Deutsche Telekom, T-Com CERT
Although VoIP is a new revolutionary technology in the world of communications, it presents some drawbacks in aspects of information security. The fact that it is based mostly on standard Computer-Environment makes it vulnerable to all well known security threats such as computer fraud. This presentation will focus on some
fraud scenarios, such as subscriber fraud and PSTN fraud.

Juan Carlos Guel, David Gimenez, UNAM-CERT
Since every day we can get lots of logs in ours systems, debug them is a overwhelming task. We can identify events showing failed login attempts, privileges changes, and further intrusion attempts within the events in the system. But within a huge network architecture it could be an impossible task even when we were talking about the same operative system.
The tool described in this paper gathers all the events in remote host that are suspicious of being about a possible intrusion attempt. All the data is stored in a data base an the administrator is alerted in order
to reduce the time in response. It's a client-server architecture and could be used within a domain or not. All the information is encrypted before send it through the network. The administrators can get HTML or text reports from the computer they wish.
